ing of Their New Church

Sunday was great day in the his
tory of the Lithuanian Catholic church
in Kenosha as at that time the congre-
cation formally took possession Of the
German Lutheran church on Union
street and the first service was held
There was a great gathering of the
Catholics of the city to mark the open
ing of the new church. Many Of the
members Of the other churches in the
city attended the services during the
day. The services were in charge of
the Rev. J. Klonoswki, rector Of the
church, and he was assisted by MANY
visiting priests from Milwaukee and
other cities. In the afternoon and
evening a social reunion of the con-
gregation was held at the school hall.
There was music by a band and well
known members of the congregation
made addresses.
While the youngest congregation in
the city the Lithuanian Catholic church
already has large membership and it
is steadily increasing. The church is
being re-decorated and a handsome al

TO TEST INHERITANCE TAX LAW
To Decide on Right of the State to Col
lect Inheritance Taxes

A general attack upon the constitu-
tionaEty Of the inheritance tax law,
which brings 100000 annual revenue
into the state treasury, will be made
early in April, when the state Supreme
Court will take up two of the most
important assignments of the year, the
Pabst inheritance case and the appeal
of Abbie E. Deals of Milwaukee. 1t
was announced in the court today that
the Beals case, which was to have been
argued on the last assignment, would
be continued and argued on the same
assignment as the Pabst case, in or
der that the court may have all the
evidence relating to the validity of the
legacy tax before it for consideration
at one time. The arrangement was
mace more for circumstance than by
forethought The Beals case was slated
for trial and argument during the
recent disastrous snow storm, when
the Milwaukee lawyers were unable to
get to Madison. The court suggested
the submission of the case upon briefs,
but when it was discovered that the
Pabst case, also attacking the valid
ity of the inheritance tax law, was
on the calendar for argument later in
the year, an arrangement was effected
to have both considered at one time.
The Supreme Court is a little behind
in it's assignment, but will be able to
complete the cases before it before ad-
journment in June. The August calen-
dar will not be completed for three
or four weeks, and then the January
calendar will be taken up.

fifty dollars in car fare between Camp
Lake and Chicago as a result of the
act of Sevy and demands damages to

Petitions for Nomination Of John
Barnes for Supreme Court Jus.
tics Circulated in Kenosha
MAY NOT HAVE OPPOSITION
But Two Candidates in the Field for
County Juuge and no Others
Are Expected to Take
Out Petitions

Papers were placed in circulation in
Kenosha Wednesday afternoon for the
nomination of John Barnes of Rhine
lander as a candidate for the Office of
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
state. The petitions were largely sign
ed Few people in Kenosha knew that
there was to be an election of justice
of the Supreme Court until the Barnes
petitions reached the city. Judge
Barnes was elevated to the supreme
bench less than year ago and his cleo
tion was to fill the vacancy left by the
death of Chief Justice j. B. Cassidy.
He succeeded R. M. Bashford Of Madi-
son who had been named by the COVER
nor pending an election and as his ma
jority over all the candidates in the
field was large one it is not expected
that he will have any opposition this
year. Judge Barnes is now seeking the
long term as justice as the term will
not end until January l, 1920.
Nearly all of the attorneys in Keno
sha have signed the Barnes petition
and it is certain that the Rhinelander
man will have general support from
Kenosha county. Thus far not sin
gle candidate has entered the field
against him and in fact no one has
even been mentioned as candidate. 1t
was thought that Mr.. Bashford would
come up for the long term, but he
seems to be entirely satisfied with the
will of the people as expressed last year
Judge Barnes is seeking reelection as
a non bipartisan candidate. .
The election of a Supreme Court JUS
tice usually lends interest to the spring
election, but such will not be the case
this year and if there is to be any
great interest in the judicial election il
must come from the contest for the
Office Of county judge. The petitions
for this Office must be filed by March
6, and there are but two candidates il
the field, Judge R. Ell. Slosson, the pres
ent holder of the office, and George W
Taylor. Both have petitions in circu
lation and both will have them flee
within the next week. The papers are
being signed in all parts Of the county
and both men seem to have good sup
port. The campaign has not as yet
developed into an active contest, but il
is expected that the fight will be opened
up in earnest after the petitions have
been fled. Attorney Taylor promises
to make very vigorous campaign il
all parts of the country and Judge Slos
son s actions in previous elections SHOW
that he is no SLOUGH when it comes Il
campaigning.
Voters in the county will vote for ;
county superintendent of schools at tn
spring election and thus far only TIVE
candidates have taken out petitions
They are John j. Kerwin, the presen
superintendent, and Prof. 0. L. Dreys
former principal of the school at Bris
toll. Both of the men are making
strong campaign for the office, but i
is generally conceded that Superinten
dent Kerwin has long lead. Both arr
seeking the Office as non-partlsan can
didates.
