nothing of the johnson bill for inspec-

Union for printing the Legal notices
of the city amounting to $6S065 was
allowed and paid.
The pauper committee reported that
the Marchese family had been sent
back to Italy at cost to the city of
SOL and the action of the committee
was confirmed and approved by the
Council.
No meeting of the Council of this
nature would have been complete
without shot at the Kenosha Gas and
Electric Company and there was the
usual discussion of the failure of the
company to restore some of the paved
streets and in order to get the issue
fatty before the company the city at
torney was ordered to proceed against
the bondsmen of the company to force
the repair of the streets.
The Council passed the ordinances
providing for bond issue for the new
school and for a peddlers license and
these ordinances will become laws on
their publication.

HASTEN ADMITS A SCUFFLE
Remains of Martin to be Disinterred
at Once TO Get Hair to Compare
With Hair Found on Oar-Man Finds
the Oar in the Bushes.

The web of proof is slowly being
drawn about Herman hasten in con-
nection with the investigation of the
murder of Herman Martin whose body
was taken from Lake Mary two weeks
ago and it now looks as if the district
attorney has some evidence which,
while circumstantial, indicates that
Martin was murdered.
The missing oar so long sought is in
the hands of the district attorney and
it has hair on it. This hair is thought
to be human hair and part of the
hair of Martin, the murdered man.
District Attorney Baker will at once
have the remains of Martin removed
from their grave in the Salem ceme-
terry in order that portion of his
hair may be taken off for comparison
with that found on the oar. The oar
was found by man by the name of
Johnson living about mile from the
place where the body of Martin was
found. 1t was found more than a week
ago, but Johnson had no idea that the
officials were seeking it until last
Saturday. He had gone out to take a
swim in the lake and while hiding his
clothes in the bushes along the lake
shore he came OH to the oar. He
carried it to his home and last Satur-
day when he learned that the oar was
being sought he turned it over to the
sheriff. District Attorney Baker went
after Hasten, the murder suspect,
again Tuesday evening and under
grilling fire of questions Hasten adj
mitted that he and Martin, the MUIR
dered man, had scuffie in their room
at the boarding house just before they
went out on the Lakeland hasten adj
mits that it is possible that the eye
of Martin was bruised at this time.
He, however, still insists that he
knows nothing of the killing of Martin
and sticks to his former story that
Martin jumped out of the boat and
started to swim ashore.
The hearing Of HASTEN will be again
delayed in order to permit further
investigation. hasten does not know
that the oar has been found and the
district attorney seems to think that
the fact that the oar was thrown into
the bushes is pretty good evidence,
while circumstantial, that Martin
was murdered The investigation of
the facts in the case has been resumed
with renewed vigor as result of the
uncovering Of this new evidence and
it is expected that even more sensa-
tional evidence will be found before
the close of the week.

Workmen Raze EngineHo
No. 2, One of First Public
Buildings in Kenosha
RELIC OF PIONEER DAYS HERE

Another one of the old landmarks
the business interests Of the city to-
day when workmen began the work of
demolishing the old fire engine build
ing on Wisconsin street to make room
for the erection of an addition to the
Barden store building. The old build
ing was built in Kenosha just before
the opening of the war and it was
used as home for a portion Of the
fire department for nearly forty years
before it was abandoned. The old
building was originally known as En-
CINE House No. and at the time of
it's erection prominent men Of Kenosha
went down into their own pockets and
brought up the money necessary for
the equipment of the building. Some
Of these men actually worked on the
building during it's construction and
they gave this work to the city in
order to advance the interests Of the
infant fire department at that time.
For years the old building was re-
garded as one of the important public
buildings of the city. The room in
the upper part was used at one time
as gathering place for the Common
Council and many stirring incidents in
the early history of Kenosha We're en-
acted in this little room. Ten years
ago the building was abandoned so far
as the city was concerned and since
that time it has gone to decay rapidly.
For time the upper part was used for
a home of the people dependent on the
city, but long ago it proved too small
for the accommodation of this class.

lake and then pump it from main
sewer into the proposed canal if it
should ever be built. He declared,
however, that the possibility Of such
a canal being built would not be a
problem for this generation.
Mr.. Alvord declared that the entire
system of sewers in Kenosha should be
revised and he stated that WIN such
a change In system the proposed trunk
sewer built along the lines suggested
in the report would be suited to be a
component part Of a great system of
sewers which would properly drain
Kenosha. In the broadside Of ques-
tions fred at him Mr.. Alvord declared
that he thought that it would be I'M
wise for the city to build any larger
sewer than the one suggested. He
showed that the present area to be
drained was not in excess of 1850
acres and that which would have to be
drained in the near future would be in
the neighborhood Of 5000 acres and
that the remaining f,775 acres Of the
territory of the water shed would be
Fable to prepare a suitable drainage for
itself. He suggested that the sewer
be built of concrete insisting that the
concrete reinforced construction made
better sewer than the old masonry
construction.
The report of Mr.. Alvord was rich in
engineering statistics and facts and it
has been left on file with the city
clerk for the examination Of interested
property owners.

Conference Passes Resolution
Of Protest Against Treat
ment of Negro Minister
UNANIMOUS IN CONDEMNATION

That the color line is not recogniz-
ed by Methodist ministers was shown
in resolutions passed at the first regu-
lar session of the conference this
morning when amid a chorus of
"Amens' from all over the church the
conference by unanimous vote pass
ed a resolution of protest against what
it classed as the unfair treatment ac-
corded to the Rev. M. G. Mason, D. D.,
secretary of the National Freedman IS
Aid Society and one of the most dis
tinguished men in Methodism. Not
withstanding the fact that DR.. Mason
was born in slavery he is, next to
Booker T. Washington, the most dis
tinguished man of his race in the
United States and for years he has
been a prominent candidate for one
Of the places of bishop Of the church.
DR.. Mason came to Kenosha late
Tuesday afternoon to speak at the pre-
! liminary session of the conference
Tuesday evening and went to one of
the leading hotels of the city for his
supper. 1t is claimed by the ministers
that he was not accorded the treatment
that should have been given to man
of his rank, regardless of his color.
Dr. Mason according to the statement
made to the conference was forced to
wait until all the other guests of the
hotel had eaten their supper. The
Rev. M. J. Trenery Of Milwaukee, pas
tor of Summerfeld Church there, in a
stirring speech presented the matter to
the conference this morning just be-
fore the adjournment for the noon hour
and in his speech denouncing the treat
ment of DR.. Mason he paid high tri-
butte to his work as minister and as
man An effort was made to have
the matter referred to the committee
on resolutions, but many of the lead
ing ministers of the conference speak
ing on the question demanded that the
conference at once pass formal reso-
luton of protest and this was passed
by a unanimous vote of the confer
ence.
In presenting the resolution DR.. TIRE
merry declared that he did not believe
that the slight given to DIR. Mason
would receive the support of any man
in the city of Kenosha who could be
called .Christian. The announce
ment of Bishop Mcdowell that the
resolution had been adopted by a
unanimous vote was greeted by pro
longed cheering from all parts of the
conference.
DR.. Mason left for his home in the
east on Tuesday evening and it is said
that the treatment he met in Kenosha
caused him to cut his visit to the
I conference.

"The Royal Chef" very pleasing
musical comedy which has given
eminent pleasure to our theatre goers

be the attraction at the Rhode for next
Sunday afternoon and night. The
music by Ben Jerome, it is asserted is

and lyrics of Chas. S. Taylor and Geo.
Stoddard, is vivacious and brilliant,
overlooking with rich, intelligent hui
NOR and hitherto untouched ideas, that
it is claimed, never for a single
moment veers to monotony, either in

pany is declared delightful, being COM
posed of fine singers, great dancers and
comedians capable Of amusing and ex-
hilarating effort. 1t is claimed that
besides the many entertaining feat
ures of the "Chef' it's entire tone
is elevating which is much to be de-
sired after the hideous doggerel and
imbecility of a lot of so-called musical
comedy triumphs, which have gone be-

Range of Temperature Made
1t One of the Most Remark
able Months on Record
VARIATIONS GREATEST IN YEARS

With range for forty -four degrees
in temperature and some Of the hot
test and dryest periods of years, the
month of August for this season, has
passed down as a record breaker.
There has been little rainfall during
the entire month, the crops around this
section lay weeks parched and dry, max
ing little Roadway and some of them
drying up altogether. In the third
week of August there was a precipita
tion of ia inches in twenty-four
hours. This with a few falls in which
little relief was found, has been all the
precipitation during the last two
months.
The last month has been very fair,
more than half of the days having
been cloudless. There were number
of partly cloudy days during the last
two weeks.
The great range in temperature
makes the month record breaker.
The hottest day registered So degrees
at four clock in the afternoon, while
the coolest was last week Monday
when the temperature was 50 degrees
at the same time of day. The tempera-
ture during the night and early morn
ing was much flower, however. The
mean maximum temperature is record
ed as S2.2, while the mean minimum is
1884 with a mean of 72.S.
The prevailing wind has been from
southerly direction.
The second of September was a
record breaker as far as temperature
is concerned, for this time Of the year.
Frosts did damage to crops in this sec
ton, of the state and dispatches from
various parts of the state during the
last few days point to great financial
losses as result of the unreasonable
cold spell
Corn, tobacco, eranberries, late pota-
toes and all kinds of garden truck
have suffered heavily and in some cases
the crops have been entirely destroyed.
The first frost this year came several
weeks sooner than it has in past years,
say old residents. Not in twenty
years has there been damaging frost
in this section as early in the season.
