MAY CONTROL SALE OF MILK
Health Commissioners Have Power to
Revoke License of Dealer

The Supreme Court Thursday in a
decision holds that City Council may
vest the health commissioner of city
with power to revoke the license of
milk dealers. The court says:
ssPublls health cannot wait upon the
slow processes of a legislative body, y
and adds, nthere is nothing of greater
Importance relating to the food sup
ply of great city than that the milk
supply should be pure and wholesome. =
The decision is reached in a case of
the state ex rel John Nowotny, VS..
CITY of Milwaukee and DR.. G. A. Bad
ing Nowotny, a milk dealer, after
repeated warnings from the city health
department, was convicted on July Is,
1908 of selling impure milk and his
license revoked by DIR. Bading.
Nowotny sued out writ of certiorari,
claiming the health department had no
right to revoke his license. Judge
Ludwig crushed the writ and Nowotny
appealed.

SEEK MISSING GIRL
Effort Being Made to Find Trace of
Mabel Henderson in Kenosha

Efforts are being made to find some
trace of Miss Mabel Henderson, aged
20 years of Aurora, ILL.,, who is mysteri-
ously missing from Kenosha. The girl
came here more than four months ago
to work as domestic, but her friends
have heard nothing from her since the
middle of May and they came to The
city this morning to see what had hap
pened to the girl. Letters sent to her
in Kenosha were returned unopened
and the relatives have not been able
to find out even where the girl was
working while in Kenosha. The last
letter they received from her was
mailed in Kenosha on May 18th and it
is thought that she left the city about
that time. The friends of the girl
seem to think possible that her disap-
pearance from Kenosha may be due to
a romantic elopement, but they are un-
able to find any facts that will uphold
this theory. There is nothing in Ke-
nosha to indicate where the girl lived
as she secured her letters through the
general delivery and it is thought that
she had some friend who secured and
returned the letters sent to Kenosha
after she disappeared.

PLAN MANY IMPROVEMENTS
Kenosha Cemetery Association Getting
Plans for Proposed Fence

The Kenosha Cemetery Association
is planning the building of a fence
about the City cemetery during the
present year and to this end plans and
specifications are being secured from
leading architects in Kenosha and
other cities. Some very beautiful de-
signs for concrete fence are now in
the hands Of the officials of the asso-
citation and it is thought that one of
these plans will be adopted at an early
date The money for this permanent
improvement has been PARTIALLY pro-
vided for and nearly $4,000 in gifts
has already been secured by the Of
fcials Of the association. They are
hopeful that sufficient sum to com
plete the work will be secured within
the next few weeks.

ROAD BILL TO WAIT
Bills for State Aid for Road Max.
ing Not To Be Considered
by This Legislature
SPECIAL SESSION NEXT YEAR

By deferring action upon the good
roads measures Wednesday in the as
sembly and sending them over to the
special session of the legislature, Wis
cOnsin farmers will receive no aid in
good road building that can be utilized
before 1911. Had one of the bills
been passed at this time it would have
been possible to have included the
amount to be expended by the state in
Der budget. Then as this tax would
be collected in January and February
the first aid could be obtained during
the summer Of 1910. But by putting
off action on those measures until next
January no tax can be levied until
November 1910, following the next
general election, and the amount so
raised will not become available until
taxes have been collected and the
spring season Of 1911 is open.
Five good road bills are pending be-
fore the legislature. The two original
bills were introduced by Assemblyman
John r. Jones in the lower house and
Senator E. E. Browne in the senate.
AT one time there was every prospect
that the Jones' bin would pass, but
when the committee on roads and
bridges reported it favorably, substitute
bills were presented by Assemblymen
Reynolds, Bichler and Ingram
The four assembly bills were so rad
ically different that it was impossible
for the committee on roads and bridges
to reach any conclusion on the matter
and last week it presented resolution
to defer action on all bills until the
special session. This will necessitate
| the appointment of another committee
which will take evidence on the sub
ject. It was reported around the legis-
lature this morning that Senator
Browne will be chosen as chairman
of the senate side of the committee
and John R. Jones of the as
sembly side. The senate must still
pass this resolution, but it is said that
the senate is practically unanimous in
favor of it because the session has
been so prolonged.
Other men who are spoken of as
possibilities on the committee are John
A. Fridd of Koro, Senator c. T. Pear
son of Baraboo, Assemblyman w j.
Bichler of Ozaukee, Thomas Reynolds
! of Door county and Axel Johnson of
Burnett.

GRANTED A DIVORCE
Thomas III. Ellis is Divorced From His
Wife Amelia A. Ellis

Sitting in chambers in Racine on
Thursday afternoon Judge E. B. Belden
handed down a decree of divorce in
the suit brought by Thomas II. Ellis
against his wife, Amelia A. Ellis, on
grounds of incompatibility. Mrs. Ell
lis was not represented in court not
withstanding the fact that personal
service was secured on her at Detroit,
Mich. In the complaint Ellis claimed
that he and his wife had mutually
agreed upon separation more than
five years ago and that they had at that
time made division of the property
and had since lived apart. There
was no answer on the part of the de-
PENDANT and the decree was granted
by default.
