Joe Petit has Fellow Workman Arrest
ed and Drifts into Jail Himself

Joe Petit, farm laborer employed
on the Balm farm in the town of SIM
ers, is in the county jail and he is
liable to stay there until he pays an
execution issued against his body in
the Municipal Court Oh Thursday at
ternoon. A few days ago Petit caus-
ed the arrest of Lawrence Jensen, an
other employee on the farm, on a
charge Of using abusive language and
when the case was heard by Judge
Randall on Thursday afternoon the
evidence not only showed that Jensen
was guiltless of the charge, but that
the action had been brought in malice
by Petit. The court directed Petit to
pay the costs of the action amounting
to 1910 and at once issued an execu-
ton. The sheriff finding that the man
had no property which could be taken
on the execution took the body Of Petit
and he is still in jail.

TO OPEN MORE LANDS
Government To Offer 1000, 900
Acres of Land for Settlement
Within a Few Months
MUST PAY FOR WATER RIGHTS

Two million acres of agricultural
lands in Idaho, Washington and Mon
tana and 100000 acres of irrigated
lands on reservations in the last two
states will be thrown open to settle
ment by the government this year.
When under cultivation these lands
will support $4,000 persons. In addi-
ton, private projects adding approx
mately 100000 acres to the irrigated
areas in Washington, idaho, Montana
and Oregon, will be started this and
next year, to be completed and in
operation before the close of 191l.
These reclaimed areas will afford
homes for 100000 persons, as irrigated
land is supposed to be capable of sup
porting one person to every two acres.
1t is officially announced that three
reservations in Washington, Idaho and
Montana will be opened the middle of
next August. They are: the Flathead
reserve in Montana, 100000 acres !;
the Colyille reserve in eastern Wash
ington, 100000 acres; and the Occur
d 'Alene reserve in northern Idaho,
100000 acres. It is given out that the
registration period will begin the
second week in July in Spokane,
Occur d'Alene, Idaho and Missoula
and Kahspell, Mont, where the draw
ings will take place 80 days after the
first name is registered. Many Of
these homesteads of 100 acres each are
said. to be worth 800 an acre, The
fortunate ones will get them for a
small fraction of that amount?
While government land in the irr1-
gated districts costs the settler only
the fee for entry, provided the home
steader resides on it, and otherwise
complies with the provisions of the
law, he will have to pay from $50 to
$50 an acre for water rights. This
is paid to the government in 10 annual
installments, the price depending upon
the cost of building, operating and
maintaining the reclamation plant on
The land under the ditch.

Plea to Legislature as Acting
President of the Liquor
Mems Organization

The Executive Board Of the Wiscon-

citation at meeting held in Milwau-
kee Monday afternoon, gave unquali-
fed approval of what is kaoWn as the
+" Austin Commission Bill, = now pend
ing before the legislature. This meas,
ure provides for the appointment Of
five commissioners by the governor
land confers full power and authority
upon it to revoke licenses issued under
local authority after hearing and trial.
ut is urged in the interest Of the bet
ter regulation of the liquor traffic,
that the measure will serve to take the
saloon out of politics, by placing the
question Of license revocation in the
hands of non partisan State Board
free from local influences.
The action taken by the Executive
Board of the Lacquer Dealers Associa-
ton is in the form of a resolution as
follows:
Resolved, After a full and complete
investigation and discussion of the
same, we fully approve of the bill
I9o5A, known as the Austin Commits
sion bill, as introduced by the commit
tee on state affairs of the assembly,
and believe that if it is passed by the
Legislature it will do much toward
simplifying the ,vexatious question Of
the revocation and placing it in the
hands Of a non-partisan Board, and
we fully believed that it will rebound
to the benefit of the liquor traffic
throughout the state and will tend to
elevate the general character of the

RIVAL FOR ZION
Behaists Which Originated Here to
Build Temple at Wilnette

Aon City is not to remain the
whole thing along the North Shore
50 far as religious distinctions, etc.,
go, and while the new rival is not
within the confines of Wisconsin, it
had the distinction of an origin in
henosha and it is to be close enough
at Wllmette, to be of much local in
terest because it adds another religious
cult to the North Shore district.
With contributions received from
every quarter of the globe, the Be
halsts are planning to build a temple
In Wllmette which will cost more than
S500,0o0. The land on which the
unique religious structure is to be
erected was transferred to the Be
halsts Monday by Silas w. GandaH
and Others. Corfine True and others
are recorded as the purchasers.
The property is triangular piece
at Ridge and Linden avenues, over
looking Lake Michigan, and cost the
new cult $4,000.
The temple, to be called "Mashrak
ElAzcar,' will be a mixture of mod
ern and oriental architecture. 1t will
be modelled after similar temple in
Eshkabad, Russia, the plans of which
were drawn by Buha- Ulfah, father of
Abdul BAHIA of Gallilee, the present
prophet and header of the Behaists
The building will have nine walls
and will, contain nine fountains The
temple is to symbolic perfect man
and the perfected world, and each
fountain is to typify a world religion,
as the Bebaists insist that through
their religion all others will be uni
fed
In addition to the temple, a home
for cripples, one for orphans, college
Of higher scieace and a hospiee for the
entertainment of visitors will be built.
The Behaists now number more than
100000 believers, and each has made
contribution toward the proposed
Chicago temple. Although the MAORI
ty Of its members are in the Orient,
Chicago has been selected by the Be
haists as the Mecca and world center
of their religion.

Attorney Slater Does Not Believe
Gaastra Injunction Will Be
Made Permanent
PROTEST COMES TOO LATE
City Attorney Declares That Courts
Have Repeatedly Passed on
Points Raised in Gaastra
Suit for Injunction

That the city of Kenosha is not in
danger of a grand mix up as a result
of a successful outcome of the action
for injunction brought by Douwe
lGaastra is the opinion of City Attor-
ney John c. Slater The summons and
complaint in the action has not as yet
been served on either City Attorney
Slater or District Attorney R. v.
Baker for the county, but City Attor-
fney Slater has anticipated the suit for
some time and he has been examining
the authorities with view of making
This return of an answer in the case.
The claims of Gaastra according to the
opinion of the city attorney will have
no standing in court. The attorney
declares that these questions have been
repeatedly tested in the courts of Wis
consin and that he feels assured that
at wall be possible to deIend the posi-
ton taken by the city in the matter
of the paving of Crate street. "The
property owners on that street had
their time to make protest against
the paving Of the street and the pro
test was not made and in my opinion
this would remove their right to come
in this time and test the technical man
ner in which the contract for the work
was lei" said the attorney. .'This is
no. new question and we have been
threatened with suits Of similar ma
ture ever since the city began doing
public improvement work on the pres
ent system. All of the provisions of the
general charter law now used in Ke
nosha were not adopted under my ad
ministration as city attorney, but the
city did not have to adopt all of the
provisions of that statute to make the
portion adopted legal Of this point
I feel certain as I went into the mat
ter at length before recommending to
the city the adoption of the new por-
tions of the law
The attorney feels that no other
work in the city could possibly be af
fected by the Gaastra suit on account
Of the fact that he holds the city acted
in a perfectly legal manner and that
under this hololng nothing could be
done to open earlier assessments made
and paid to the city for public i'm
provements.
The point raised by the Gaastra suit
supposed to be of sensational nature
in regard to the fact that men who
were not freeholders sat on the Coun-
ell is not taken seriously by the at
torneys for the defendants They make
point of the fact that these aHega-
no names are mentioned and insist
that even if it could be shown that
such facts existed in the Council at the
time of the adoption of the general
charter law and the making Of the as
sessments for paving in question it
would not invalidate these ac-
tions. The report of the Coun-
Gil on beth questions showed that
the law was adopted and the
assessments made by unanimous
vote of the Council. Attorney Slater
holds that an outsider dealing with the
Council is supposed to consider all
members of that body legal in the alb
sence of any action to show the con-
'trary.
