Beginning of Fourth of July
Accidents Causes Warnings
to Be Sent to Parents
LOCKJAW ALWAYS DANGEROUS

Notwithstanding the orders of the
police department the small boy has
already begun the celebration of the
Fourth of July in Kenosha and from
now until after the stocks of fireworks
have been exhausted it is certain that
the popping of fire crackers and toy
pistols will be heard all over the city,
The physicians of the city expect the
usual busy week preceding the celebra-
ton and already several minor acct
dents as a result of the use of fireworks
have been reported. In the absence
of the city health officer from the city
one of the leading physicians has given
out some instructions as to what should
be done in case of accidents. He
said:
"From now until July 4, the number
of injuries due to explosives will grad
ually increase. Wounds of this char
acter are particularly liable to be com
plicated by tetanus (ockjaw). The
most dangerous are wounds Of the
hand in which part of the wad from
the cartridge is driven deeply into the
soft parts and which may be overlook
ed in dressing the wound.
Every gunshot wound of the hand
should be treated as one liable to be
complicated by tetanus. In all such
cases a surgeon should be Immediately
called. It he can not be secured the
following directions should be observed:
The hands of the person or persons
who intend to dress the wound should
be carefully scrubbed in soap and wat
er, the nails pared and cleaned and
the hands again washed in strong al
cohol. The wound should be careful
ly cleaned with as little force as pos
sible, all blood clots, torn tissue and
foreign matter being carefully remov-
ed, the wound being enlarged if neces-
sary, boiled water being used for this
purpose. Strong carbolic acid should
then be swabbed on the wound, follow
ed almost Immediately by strong alco-
hol to stop the action of the acid be-
fore it has gone too far. The wound
should then be carefully washed with
boiled water and dressing of bich-
loride of mercury to 1000 applied
No dressing should come in contact
with the wound which has not been rem
dered safe by sterilization. If sterile
dressings car not be secured, ordinary
gauze or linen cloths may be boiled
and used for this purpose. Inasmuch
as the tetanus germ can not grow in
the presence of oxygen, great care
should be taken that it is not excluded
from the wound by the use of impervi-
GUS dressings, such as rubber tissue or
oiled silk. The patient should then
be taken to a surgeon with as little
delay as possible.

GETS FOUR MONTHS IN JAIL
Man Who Looted Station at Trevor
Pleads Guilty" to Petty Larceny

Robert Murphy the st. Louis man, ar
rested at Camp Lake a few days ago
on a charge of looting the station of
the Wisconsin Central Railway Com
pany at the village of Trevor, was tax
en- before Judge Randall in the munici-
pal court on Friday afternoon and ar
raigned on charge of petty larceny.
He pleaded "guilty" to the charge
and was sentenced to pay fine Of
fifty dollars and costs. Being with
out money or friends the young man
was sent to Jail for a term of four
months. It is declared that Murphy
belongs to good family in st. Louis
and he insisted that this was the first
time that he had been arrested. It is
expected that his relatives will secure
his release before the long term has
been served in Jail. It was impossi-
BILE to put charge Of burglary against
Murphy as he entered the station
through an open window.

1t may be a selfish way to look at,
it, but it always seems as if altogether
too much money goes out of Kenosha
in response to the solicitation of work
ers for outside charities when the
leaders in charitable work in Kenosha
are sometimes hard put to it to feed
and clothe the poor at our own gates.
in some instances these solicitors have
a right to expect help from Kenosha
when their institutions are taking care
Of Kenosha people, but large sums are
annually given to various charities by
the people Of this city for no other
reason than they have been asked to
help along a good work which really
should be supported by the people of
the communities whose dependents reap
the benefits.

The new ordinance regulating the
speed of automobiles and motorcycles
is now in force but it remains to be
seen whether. or not it will be any
more effective than the old one in put
ting an end to the speeding on the
streets of the. city. 1t was just as
well to change the local law in order
to make it conform to the state regu-
lations on the same subject but as a
matter Of fact the failure to stop the
reckless running of autos and motor
cycles was not due to any fault in the
ordinance but to the failure of the au-
thorities to enforce it properly and
against all alike. If the city officials
had ever been in earnest in this matter,
prosecutions could have been brought
under the state laws and the speeding
stopped without any ordinance being
passed by the city at all but now that
they have this fine new measure to
work with there will be less excuse
than ever for any neglect of their
plain duty by the police.

JUDGE. PRICE OF CHICAGO HERE

There was a great gathering OF the
members of the Loyal Order of Moss
in Kenosha on Friday evening when
members of the order from Chicago,
Milwaukee, Racine and other cities
came to Kenosha to attend the formal
institution of the new Kenosha lodge.
The ceremonies were held at Carpen-
ter's Hall and the men who wear the
Moose button this morning were CIV
en- every reason to remember that they
are full fedged members of the order.
The charter of the organization has not
as yet been closed, but grand total
of more than hundred members have
been initiated and at the meeting on
Friday evening there were sixty-one
applications for membership on the
secretary's desk. B. A. Fay, one of
the national organizers Of the order,
will remain in Kenosha for some time
to close up the charter and it is pretty
certain that the membership Of the
order will reach the 200 mark before
the charter is closed.
The institution on Friday night prov
ed to be a decidedly interesting GER
mony. 1t was in charge Of Judge
John W. Price of Chicago who acted
for the Grand Dictator in the cere-
monies. He was assisted by Deputy
Supreme Organizer Lewis M. Jones
of Milwaukee, G.. W. Winneg of the
Milwaukee lodge and c. f. Ferguson
of Racine lodge.
Following the institution of the
lodge the matter of securing permanent
quarters for the organization was TAX
en- up and while the lodge is not yet
fully organized plans have been laid
for the erection of a. club house in
the business district of the city. A
committee has been named to take up
this matter and it is understood that
this committee will get busy at once
and it is not improbable that some
plan for the erection OF a Moose home
in Kenosha will be worked out before
the end of the present year. The
new order is to make a, vigorous cam
paign for members in Kenosha and
the national organizer insists that be-
fore the year the membership Of the
Kenosha lodge will reach the 500 mark.
The formal organization of the lodge
was laid over until the full charter
list of 125 members have been initiated
and officers were elected to serve in
the chairs until July 10th at which
time it is expected that the charter
will be closed.
B. A. Fay, the national organizer
will act as Dictator of the Kenosha
lodge until that time. Mayor Scholey
was the first man to be honored by

The people of that section Of the
city are entitled to another municipal
bathing beach on the south side The
use that is being made of the one al
ready in operation shows what a de-
mand there is for bath houses and so
long as the people of the south side
vil) insist in enjoying their:dip in the
lake whether there is a bathhoase for
them or not, it would be much bet
ter all around to have them indulge
themselves in their favorite pastime
under proper restrictions.

The sands are running low IN the
hourglass, but there is
still time, if the senate wills it, for
the passage of the bill for the publicity
of contributions and expenses in con
gressional elections. 1t passed the
house with only one dissenting vote.
The vote was SO unanimous as to pro-
woke pleasure-or Suspicion. Either
the representatives had been convert
ed to belief in a reform measure or
they passed it unwillingly, hoping the
senate would do what they did not
dare to do-kill it.
The measure is one which does not
affect senators. Their campaign con
tributions and expenses would remain
a secret, except when light was thrown
on them by unWelcome confessions. So
there was no visible reason why the
senate should not have passed the bill
offhand. But it provides for the pub.
LEGATION of contributions before the ell.
ection. Senator Burrows thinks it
should come afterward. So for weeks
the bill has been sleeping on the SEN
ate calendar.
The president is anxious that ii
should pass. All who are interested
in purity of elections are DESTROYS that
it should. IF the senate were to fail
to adopt it at this session and thus
deny the voters at the November cleo
tions information they would like to
have it would look much as if the
house and senate were in cahoots. II
is an old and disreputable legislative
trick for one house to pass a good bill
it dislikes, having previously made an
arrangement with the other to hold il
up. The senate surely viii not give
color to the charge, but will promptly
pass this important reform measure

The announcement of the Pennsyl
vania railroad company that it has in
service or building over 1000 all steel
freproof cars for it's lines is only the
prelude of similar announcements by
all of the great trunk lines of the
country of radical changes in their pas
senger equipment. The installation Of
these practically understandable cars in
the passenger service of the railways
should mark the end of the terrible
railroad accidents attended by great
loss of life with a resultant decrease
in damage claims which should more
than reimburse the lines for the in
creased investment.

SEEK MISSING LAD

Mrs. Catherine Krieger has Appeared
to Sheriff Gunter to make an effort to
find her son, George Krieger, twelve
years old, who disappeared from her
home on Charles street on Friday. The
boy was supposed to have gone to the
home of his father in Kenosha Heights

left the city. Both the sheriff and
the members of the police force made
a search for the boy Friday night but

The chief of police is probably right
in his belief that the presence of an
unusual number Of tramps and petty
criminals in the city is due to a sys-
tematic crusade inaugurated for the
purpose..of driving them out into the
smaller cities by the police Of Chicago
and Milwaukee, but Kenosha can hard
ly complain OF other cities doing just
what is done here and has been done
for some time regardless of the feel
ings of the authorities of other cities
which the tranps decide to honor
after being driven out here. Unques-
tionably the plan of passing the vag
rants along is the best yet devised
for saving the city money. There is
no$ a particle of use in sending the
Migrants to Jail and supporting them
in idleness and until the city makes
some arrangement whereby the vag-
rants can be made to work out their
fines the best way is to pass them
alopgs In that way they can be kept
on the move until they strike some city
where their enforced labor can be of
some use to the community and where
enough work can be gotten out of them
to pay for their keep. The people of
the city can help. the police very much
in the work of keeping Kenosha clear
of tramps by reporting the presence
OF these gentry whenever they are call
ed upon for "a little assistance"

Kenosha, is to have another state
convention, that of the German War
Veterans, who are to come here in

connected with the effort to secure this

that it was practically brought to this
city by men who had visited here be
fore and knew what to expect

fraternaties in KenoSha, but there al
ways seems to be room for one more

The orders to be courteous and con-
siderate to passengers issued by all Of

state regulation or a belated convic-

that politeness pays but there is no
doubt but that the change from the
old attitude of Indifference will be APP
preciated by the travelling public.

The notice of the chief of police
calling attention to the laws of the
state and city against the use of dan
gerous explosives ON the Fourth of
July has been published and one read
ing of this notice should be sufficient
to inform each dealer in the city as
to just what kind of goods he may
and may not handle on independence
day. The movement for a safe and
sane Fourth of July celebration has
long ago passed the experimental stage
and numerous cities have demonstrated
that it is entirely possible to restrain
ehe enthusiasm of their people by a
wise enforcement of the laws and get
shrough the day without a long list
of casualties and without the usual
large property loss. The level head
ed people of Kenosha will back up the
efforts of the chief and give him every
assistance in enforcing the law to the
letter and if there are enough of them
to report all violations of the law in
every section of the city, Kenosha
should make a better record this year
than it did last. AS to those dealers
who are already claiming that the
orders of the chief were issued too
late and that they kavo already laid
in their stocks and must dispose of. them
or suffer loss it is hardly likely that
any of them purchased many of the
fireworks which are under the ban of
the authorities without an agreement
that they could return them in case it
was decided to enforce the law in Ke-
nosha. From their experience last
year the local dealers must have known
about what to expect and if they
bought without protecting themselves
they are entitled to little sympathy

SEEK STOLEN TEAM
Police Searching for Team of Horses
Stolen at Waukegan Friday Night


The police of Kenosha received a
telephone message from Waukegan
this morning asking them to look out
for a man wanted at that city for steal9
ing team of horses on Friday even
ing. The man drove north from Wau-
kegan and it is thought possible that
the team which belonged to a livery
man at Waukegan was brought tosKe-
nosha. The local livery barns were
visited this morning, but as yet no
trace Of the missing team has been
found. No man answering the de
scription sent by the Waukegan po-
lice has been located in Kenosha.

Somers is the first town IN the coun-
ty to go "dry" by the vote Of the
people in the present prohibition wave
which is sweeping over the country
and it is needless to say that the re-
suits Of the experiment which is to
be made in that town for the next two
years at least will be watched with
interest by every other town in the
county. PROFESSIONALLY the question
of license or no license will be sub
mitted to the voters again at the earli-
est possible moment which is in the
spring of 1912 but the men who are
behind the no-license campaign in the
town say that they have no fears of
the result, They say that while the
vote has been close every time the
question has been submitted to the
voters that they now have clear ma
jority Of the regular voters of the
town, that they were defeated in the
past only by the assistance given the
saloon men from this city, and that
they do not anticipate that the Ke-
nosha saloon men will have any more
help to spare in 1912 for their
brethren in Somers than they had this
year. It must be admitted that the
figures on the elections in that town
would appear to bear out their state
ments.
