The crime of wife desertion is be-
coming much more serious matter
than 1t used to be and there has been
a very noticeable increase in the
number of arrests and convictions for
this offense in the past year. The big
lncreas of the number of depend ent
women and children left to the tender
mercies Of the pauper committees and
charitable institutions of every city
IN the country, due almost wholly to
the crime of wife desertion, has arous-
ed the officials generally to the necess-
lty Of taking more stringent measures
against this class of criminals and the
activity of the police departments in
their apprehension is the result. The
man who contemplates this crime must
be coward by nature and as soon as
it is thoroughly understood that there
is considerable risk attached to its com
mission, that offenders may be forced to
serve time in the penitentiary if con-
victed, and that the police have the
power to bring men charged with this
offense back from whatever state they
may be caught in for trial, the number
of cases is likely to be cut down very
materially with q corresponding de-
crease in the number of dependents.

Troubled over the breaking up of her
home and the loss of her children and
thought to be laboring under temporary
insanity brought on by religious mania,
Mrs. Carrie LANCE Jensen, divorced wife
of Knut Jensen, night Waterman at the
plant of the Windsor Spring Company,
ended heI troubles by jumping into the
lake off the South street breakwater
just before five clock Sunday after
noon. A half hour later the body was
recovered by members Of the Kenosha
Life Saving crew with the aid Of police
officer Fred Bradley.
Mrs. Jensen had been living with her
son at Zion City and it is supposed that
she came to Kenosha on Sunday after
noon with view of committing suicide
by jumping into the lake. For half an
hour before she plunged into the waters
of the lake she had sat on the sidewalk
fifty yards from the breakwater watch
ing the moving waters. Her actions had
attracted the attention of the people
in the neighborhood. She seemed to
be mutterihg prayer. Just before five
o CLOCK she left the sidewalk and start
ed toward the breakwater. Without
hesitating for minute she leaped from
the breakwater into the rising seas.

to the breakwater in hopes of being
able to save the woman and the Misses
Stacy who live in the neighborhood Sc
cured a clothes line and threw it out to
the woman but she was either uncon-
scious or in her determination to die
refused to accept aid The two young
women finally managed to get the
clothes line about the body of the un-
fortunate woman. In the mean time the
life saving crew and the members of
the police department had been sum
moned. Police officers Bradley, Maher
and Euting hurried to the scene of the
tragedy and Bradley crawled down over
the breakwatC- and notwithstanding
the fact that he was drenched by the
waves he managed to hold on to the
body until the life savers arrived and
aided him to bring it up on the break
water. DR.. F. B. Lansdowne was call
ed when the body was removed from
the lake and for half hour efforts were
made to resuscitate the woman but
without results.
The remains were removed to the
Miller & Stanton morgue and later cor
oner Andre summoned jury to view
the remains.
The tragic death of the woman comes
as the end of years of troubles. Mrs.
Jensen was a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Christian LANCE we'll known among the
Danish people of Racine. She was born
in Denmark May 20, 1869 and came to
this country with her parents when she
was six years old She was married to
Knut Jensen in Chicago twenty years
ago this month and the couple had spent
much Of their life in Kenosha. More
than two years ago Mrs. Jensen secured
a divorce from her husband in the Cir
cult Court and she was given the Gus
tody of the three children, but in the
past six months her two daughters
had left her and had gone to make their
home with their father. The former
husband Of the woman claimed that
their troubles had been brought on
through the workings Of religious fan
atics connected with the Dowie church
at Zion City. Mrs. Jensen had been
close follower of the Dowie religion and
it is thought that her zeal in the cause
finally dethroned her reason.
