FIRE CHIEF IS SLY IS RADICAL CHANGE
State Commission To Have Charge
of the Revolving OIL. Liquor Ii.
censes Under New Law
GOVERNOR TO NAME BOARD

Local as we'll as widespread state IN
terest is being taken il the passage of
assembly bill No. 905 which authorizes
a radical change in present excise laws
and provides for State Board with
power to revoke liquor licenses issued
by local authority, after proper hear
ing and trial.
The bill calls for appointment of five
commissioners by the governor, and the
Board shall be non partisan and non
political in its makeup.
The Board will have full power and
authority to make and establish rules
and regulations and to hear and con-
slider all complaints charging a viola
ton of any of the excise laws of this
state or Of any ordinance, rule or reg
ulation adopted by any municipality re
lating to the state of and traffic in
Intoxicating liquors.
The proposed measure incorporates
the present law in relation to violations
Of the excise statues and establishes a
new plan for better regulation and con
troll of the liquor business. The plan
as proposed has been arrived at after
careful study of the laws of various
states and its proponents assert that its
oJo ~
effective excise law in this country.
The claim is made that under the
present method, where revocation of
license issued to saloon keeper is
clearly within authority of local Icens-
ing Boards-the committee of the Com
mon Council or the Town Boards of
Supervisors politics ais well as per-
sonal influence plays altogether too inn
portant a part in securing protection
for disreputable and improper saloons.
Many specific advantages in the pro-
posed measure are pointed out in com
parison with the present system. The
Board is not subject to local influence,
nor would it consider political expedi-
ency in the handing down of it's deci-
sions. Since the measure was intro
duced by the committe on state affairs
of the assembly last week, hundreds Of
copies have been distributed. AS
practical plan for the better regulation
and control of the saloon business, in
dlsreputable hands, no measure has
ever been proposed, in the opinion of
thoughtful citizens interested in seeur,
ing remedial legislation on this subject,
which so freely meets all necessities of
the present situation.

Chief Isermann of Fire Depart
ment Married to Mrs. Tessie
O'conner of Milwaukee
EARLY MORNING CEREMONY
Chief and His Bride United in Matri-
nlony at st. James Church at Six
O'Clock Wednesday Morning
Given Great Send Of

Chief of the Kenosha Fire Depart
ment Henry Isermann must be put
down on record as a decidedly smooth
proposition as at six CLOCK Wednes-
day the chief gave his friends and
relatives complete surprise when he
was married at st. James church to
Mrs. Tessie O'Connor, a well known
Milwaukee woman. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Father
Malone of Monches, dear friend of
the chief and his bride, who came to
Kenosha last night for that purpose.
The marriage Of the chief was sur
prise to every one for even the mem
bers of the department were not adj
vised of his intention until a short
time before the ceremony and an early
morning call brought them to the
church to witness the romantic we'd
ding of their commanding officer. The
chief had secured leave of absence
from the Police and Fire Commission
some time ago for short vacation
and with his bride he left early this
morning for Green Bay where the
honeymoon will be spent.
For some time it has been limited
that there was romantic story con-
nected with various visits of the chief
to Milwaukee, but he insisted that he
simply went to the metropolis Of the
state for the purpose of looking into
Improvements for the department and
his word was taken for the facts in
in the case. Early this morning Mrs.
Isermann came to Kenosha and she
was met by affianced husband and the
couple drove to ST. James church
where the small company of people
who had been let into the secret, were
in waiting. The bride was attended
py Miss Laura Espen of Manitowoc
as maid of honor and Michael Jacobs,
a member of the fire department. and
one Of the closest personal friends of
the chief, acted as best man.
Before the ceremony at the church
was over the news of the marriage of
the chief began to get about to the
fremen and when the chief and his
bride went to their home on Maple
street they found the house filed with
flowers A wedding breakfast Of an
informal nature was served at which
there were many guests present and
before the chief and his bride left for
Green Bay many people had called to
extend congratulations.
Chief Isermann is one of the most
popular men ever connected with the
city government and up to the time
that he left the city he was being
overwhelmed with congratulations.
The bride Of the chief is we'll known
to many Kenosha people and she is
assured a hearty welcome to Kenosha
After a short honeymoon at Green
Bay Mr.. and Mrs. Isermann will re-
turn to Kenosha. They will make
their home at 100 Maple street and
will be at home to their friends after
June /.

COMPANY HELD BONDS
National Life Insurance Company
Has Many Bonds of Chicago.
Milwaukee Company
OTHER BONDS SUBSTITUTED

During an examination before Mas
ter in Chancery Sigmund Ziesler in
Chicago on Friday, disclosures were
made regarding the National Life In
'suranee Company and its dealings with
the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric rail
way, of which A. C. Frost was presi-
dent.
Edward A. Shedd, former director Of
the National Life and its heaviest
stakeholder, told of midnight meet
ing in the Office of A. G. Frost at
which an item of $591,12 was written
into a report to the insurance depart
ment Of the District of Columbia, al
though the securities this big sum
was supposed to represent were not
on hand. Also he testified that in
1902 he and his brother Charles B.
Shedd, with Albert NJ Johnson, now
president of the company, were forced
to make good out of their own pockets
an impairment on the stock of the Ma
tional Life of $4,000.
On the night of December 81, 1907,
Shedd was at dinner when he received
word by telephone from President Al
bert NJ. Johnson that the Chicago &
Milwaukee Electric had gone into the
hands Of a receiver. In the vaults of
the National Life Insurance Company
at that moment were $4,000 worth
of bonds of the Inflated Frost enter
prise.
On that very day report was due
to be made to the insurance depart
ment in Washington of the condition of
the insurance company Something
must be done about the Frost securi-
ties. The insurance men realized that
it would never do to list $4,000 of
that kind of securities as assets.
So at midnight that night a confer
ence was held in the office of A. G.
Frost in the Title and Trust building
present, testified shedd, were H. H.
Kohlsaat, J. S. Miller, w. H. Wilson
and the Shedd brothers, Edward and
Charles.

WANTS AN INVESTIGATION
Victim of Changing Grades Would
Have Definite Plan Decided

Mr.. Editor
Now that the condition of the city
treasury has brought about breath
ing spell, would it be well for the
Council to look up the matter of
street grades and, ascertain what the
defect is, if any? From the many
complaints and criticisms, there is evi-
IDENTIFY something wrong with our
grade systematic placing of side
walks at different grades in one block
as claimed and, the digging out of
streets which to the common eye, ap-
pear to be fairly level, is making poor
looking Improvement and wasting con-
siderable money. If people have built
walks contrary to the grades, they
should be obliged to remedy their mis-
takes. 1t is believed that in some in
stances streets that have been dug out
will have to be partly, at least, re-
filed and some of tue cement walks
torn up and rebuilt.
Before doing any more "plunging !,
it certainly would seem well for the
Council to find, ''where we are at -
much may be saved to the city and in
dividuals by so doing.
Every one wants to see the city i'm
prove, but the blind, Indifferent way
which has prevailed for years, should
cease and a plain basis to work on
established.
