PEACE MAKER rs INJURED
Charles Flanary Interferes in Fight and
Gets the Worst of It

Charles Flanary, an eleven year old
boy, residing on Ashland avenue, was
badly injured on Wednesday afternoon
when he attempted to play the part of
peace maker in a fight between bull
dog and cat. The cat was a pet
belonging to the boy and when it was
attacked by the bull dog the boy went
to the rescue and in 4 minute the fight
was three cornered one between the
boy, the dog and the cat. The boy
was not bitten by the dog, but the cat
seemed to resent the intrusion in the
battle and she went after the boy in
great shape scratching him about the
head and face and biting him several
times on the hands and arms. The
wounds of the boy were cauterized and
it is not thought that they will result
seriously.

CAN'T GET MEN.
Work at the Government Building
Handicapped by Lack of Workmen

Work on the new Kenosha postoffice
building is being considerably delayed
on account of the fact that the con-
tractors are unable to get bricklayers
to carry the work forward For a
time the work was delayed on account
of the stone work failing to arrive
on time, but the stone came in on
Wednesday and now there are no men
to set it. There is such demand for
workers in the building trades in Ke-
nosha that it is all but impossible to
get men enough to keep all the work
moving. The Cullen Company has
made an effort to employ as many ke-
nosha men as possible but there is still
a scarcity and it is possible that men
may be- brought from. other cities in
order to rush the work

TO PROTECT GAME
Kenosha County To Petition
Legislature for a Change
in the Game Laws
SAVE RABBITS AND SQUIRRELS

The friends of the common cotton
tail rabbit, the grey fox and the black
squirrel are at work in kenosha county
and a petition is being circulated in
the county asking that the present
game laws in regard to the hunting of
this class of game be changed so as to
offer more protection for these animals.
Game Warden Michael Kleist was the
first man to sign the petition and it is
certain that the move will meet with
the support of the great mass of sports
men in the county. Years ago Keno
sha county was rich in rabbits and
grey fox squirrels and there are
still many raDDlts killed in the county,
but in recent years the slaughter has
been so great that the species is slowly
but surely being killed off and in a
few years there will be none of them
left. For several years men interest
ed in the game in the county have been
suggesting that some steps be taken
to protect them and this move has re-
suited in the circulation of the petit
ton. The petition will be sent to
every part of the city and county for
signature and it is expected that it
will be signed in time to have it pre-
scented at the special session of the
legislature to be held next year.
The petition follows:
"To the Honorable Members of the
Senate and the Assembly:
"We, the undersigned citizens of
Kenosha county, Wisconsin, hereby pc
tition your honorable body to amend
Section 4564c-5-1 of Chapter 525 of the
laws of 1909, by striking out there
from the work "KenoSha so that said
section shall read as follows:
"Section 4565c-5-1. 1t shall be un-
lawful and is hereby prohibited to
take, catch, kill, hunt, or pursue: Cd
Any rabbit, grey fox, or black squirrel
between February LIST and the tenth
day of October Lext succeeding
except as otherwise provided, and ex-
cepting further than in the counties of
Chippewa, Rusk, Eau Claire, Pierce, st.
Croix, Portage, Waupaca, and Wau-
shara, it shall be unlawful to take
catch, kill, hunt, or pursue rabbit, grey
fox or black squirrel between the tenth
day of February and the tenth day of
September next succeeding, but in the
counties of Grant, Crawford, Iowa,
Lafayette, Richland, HaUk AID Vernon,
there shah be no closed season for the
hunting of RABBITS"

GAASTRA BADLY HURT
Well Known Architect Con-
fined to His Home With
an Injured Spine
FELL 20 FEET FROM SCAFFOLD.

Architect T. Gaastra, who is in
charge of the building of the Column
bus school, is confined to his bed as
a result of injuries received while at
work on the school and it is feared
that his injuries are of such nature
that he will be confined to his home
for several weeks. Gaastra was at
work on a scaffold some twenty feet
above the ground when the scaffold
turned turtle and he was thrown to
the ground below with great violence
At the time it was thought that his
injuries were no greater than a few
bad bruises, but a short time later he
began to feel pain at the hse of the
spine. he was taken to his home and
DR.. A. Westrinen called to attend
him. An examination showed that
one Of the vertabrae at the base of
the spine had been fractured and the
doctors say that it is possible that the
architect will never fully recover from
his injuries. At the present time he
is confined to his bed and in addition
to the injuries to the base of his spine
he has a number of other injuries of
more superficial nature.
At the present time Gaastra is in
charge of the building of some very
large buildings in Kenosha. He not
only has the work of experimenting
the new Columbus school, but as well
the new German Lutheran church. 1t
is not thought that the work on these
buildings will be delayed on account
of his injuries as arrangements have
already been made to place compe-
tent architect at work sunerintending
the buildings SO that no time will be
lost
Mr.. Gaastra has submitted set of
plans and specifications for the new
city hall but he hoped to be able to re-
draft these plans before the commit
tee took any final action in the matter
and he yet hopes to be able to leave
his bed long enough to get to work on
these plans. No one else was on the
scaffold when it fell, but several of the
workmen had been at work there only
a few minutes before the scaffold
broke.

Independent Oil Companies
Will Have Tank Steamers
on the Great Lakes
WILL SOON Be IN OPERATION

Independent oil companies have de-
clared war on the Standard Oil com
pany and the battle ground is TO be
tn e Great Lakes. A fleet of oil tank
ships will be in operation shortly, en-
abling the independents to compete
with John D. Rockefeller company
on the same price basis.
The Petrol Traffic Company of To
ledo with a Minnesota charter, is the
name unoer which the independents
will fight The steamer Foster w.
Mitchell, with tanks capable of holding
100000 gallons Of oil, is already in
commission.
The Standard Oh Company has had a
monopoly on the oil traffic IN the lakes,
The Independents will not only cut in
to the field covered by the old com
pany, but will invaae new territory,
probably extending into Canada. a
number of big tank stations will be
built along the chain of lakes.
Heretofore the Independents have
been spending money to obtain regu-
lation of freight rates and to put an
end to discrimination. They have
brought hundreds of cases before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
this end, and have accomplished much.
Their campaigns cane under the Roose
welt administration. Now the indie
pendents allege the rail rates, while
not quite so discriminatory, are often
raised OF reduced, as the case may be,
to the ultimate advantage of the
Standard.
The Inauguration of the independent
movement will result, it is expected,
in concessions from the railroad com
panies.

The business interests of this coun-
try should no longer be made the puff
ball of American politics. Constant
tinkering with the laws that affect
commerce as quickly and positively as
does a powerful drug affect the physi-
cal body of the individual, is a con-
slant menance to steady, healthy gen
eral growth Favored industries, made
SO by liberal contributions to party
campaign funds, are largely response
BILE for this condition, and when mem
bers of Congress are swayed in their
action by the petty needs, real or
imaginary, of their districts, the dam
age done to industry in its broadcast
sense is almost beyond comprehension.

OXFORD, Pa, June 5.-"Far too
much crime is being committed by
members of our race in the Northern
States, and this is true of Pennsyl-
vania: and especially is it true of the
vicinity of Philadelphia. The great
prevalence of crime among the negroes
in these sections has done more than
ANYTHING else to disgrace the race ana
to hinder the wonderful work being
done by Lincoln University
These were the words of Booker 7.
Washington, the foremost negro edl-
Gator in the United Staes, in an adj
dress to the graduating class of Lin
coin University. He was urging them
to go South, stating that that was the
place for the negro, and that there
were needed just such trained men
as Lincoln turned out in the black bell
of America. If they must stay north
| however, he pleaded with the educat
ed negroes to try and influence the
uneducated so that the tremendous race
| hatred shall be less bitter.
This speech was the chief feature o
one of the largest commencement
