COUNCIL TAKES NO ACTION
No Candidates in the Field For Elec-
ton to Succeed President OF the
Board But Council May Act at Next
Meeting

People interested in official affairs ID
Kenosha are watching with consider
able interest the inactivity of the Com
mon Council in failing to elect sue
cessor to President Matt Greenwald as
a member of the Board of Water Com
missioners whose term Of office expired
on September Sth. The matter has not
been formally brought before the coun-
Gil in any manner and this is the first
time in the history of the city that the
election of water comm, slOner had
gone by default. President Greenwald
is still acting in his capacity as COM
missioner and will continue to act until
his successor is elected. 1t is just pos
sible that the members of the council
now regard the office of member of the
board as one of little Importance and
taken. Commissioner Greenwald was
elected as a member of the board for a
three year term, September 8, 1907 and
has served his full term. Thus far no
candidates have made their appearance
and it is not certain that the retiring
member of the board will be candi-
date for reelection. 1t is certain that
following the action of the council in
practically taking all the power from
the water board that Mr.. Grenwald is
not going to make any fight for re-elec-
tion. Mr.. Greenwald has been one of
the most active members of the board
and has taken great interest in the
work of the commission during the
three years that he has been a member
AS president Of the board he has been
active in securing the addition of the
new pumps and in addition to this he
has been one of the most ardent sup
porters of the plan for the building of
the new intake.
The bonds of the water company were
called for cancellation on October Is,
but up to this time some of them
are still outstanding. For this reason
no move has been made on the part of
the Northwestern Loan and Trust com.
pany/to discharge the trust deed held
against the water works. The money
for the payment of the bonds is now
in the hands of the Trust company and
even though the bonds have not all been
turned in it is probable that within a
few days the company will discharge
the trust deed. The matter of making
provision for collector for the water
works has not been considered by the
council and the new bills recently sent
out provide that they be paid at the of
fee of the trust company.
1t is probable that the matter will,
come before the council at its next reg
ular session and that that body will not
only take some steps to elect new
commissioner but that it will also make
some move to name a collector for the
company.

It is declared that the Motor Truck
Reliability Run which passed through
the county Friday and Saturday was a
great success from the standpoint of
the promoters but if it was designed to
popuiarize this class of vehicles with
the farmers it failed of it's object sig
nally, largely through the inconsiderate
actions of the drivers of some of the
trucks. There are two counts on
which the farmers are complaining of
the run. The first and most serious
complaint is that the drivers of some of
the big trucks were either unwilling or
unable to turn out at all in bad places
in the road; that in the language Of the
complainants they "hogged the whole
road = and fput everybody else into
the ditch. There were number of
indignant farmers in the city Saturday
afternoon with this complaint and from
their stories it would seem that several
serious accidents were narrowly avert.
ed. The second count against the run
is that the weight of the heavy trucks
broke the planking on number of the
bridges along the route of the run and
that when this fact was called to the
attention of some of the drivers the
men making it were simply laughed at
and told to build heavier bridges. An
effort is to be made to collect the cost
of making these repairs from the pro,
motors in charge of the run and it is
probable that there will be no difficulty
in doing SO and that any reasonable bill
presented for new planking will be paid
promptly. 1t is not possible for the
men in charge of these runs to ALWAYS
control the conduct of the drivers but
it certainly is not their intention to
cause any trouble or expense for the
people along the routes taken through
the country and the responsible men
backing these tests are always willing
and anxious to meet anyone with a
grievance a little more than half way
in any effort to straighten out any trou-
BILE.

MUST STAND TRIAL
Adolph Reyken Must beTried
on Accessory Charge in
the kenosha Courts
GOLDsTEIN TELLS HIS STORY

Adolph Revken, the Racine junk deal
er known as stThe King of the Junk
Dealers must stand trial on a charge
of being an accessory before the fact
to the crime of grand larceny for late
Friday afternoon after an examination
which lasted for nearly four hours
Judge Randall held that the evidence
produced against Revken was sufficient
to hold him for trial at the next term
Of the municipal court. Revken fur
nished bonds in the sun of $500 and
was released. Only one witness was
placed on the stand at the hearing and
that was Kalmon Goldstein the former
employee of Revken who is now await
ing trial on charge OF grand larceny.
Goldstein kept his word with the Dis
trict Attorney and when he went on the
stand he told all that he knew about
the robbery of the wire from the M. r.
& X. Railway company. He stated that
on the night that the wire was taken
Revken called him to his house and told
him to take double team and 90
down. and get the wire and that at the
time be had declared that he would
rather that some other man should do
the work. He declared that when he
refused Revken had threatened to take
his horses and wagon away from him
and that rather than lose the property
which was partially paid for he de-
cided to make the trip for Revken. He
declared that he acted on the order of
Revken and that he had known nothing
in regard to where the wire had come
from. He said that Revken told him
that he had bought the wire.
After the testimony of Goldstein and
the rigid examination which followed
Martin Gillen who appeared for the de-
tendant declared that he would not Of
fer any evidence of the innocence of
his client and the court handed down
decision holding him for trial. It is
certain that the trial of Revken will
be one of the most bitterly contested
ever tried in the courts of the county.

B. \. LARRABEE The: PURCHASER
History of the Sale of Old Plant Given
in Reply to Sensational Charges
at Commissioners Hearing on
Saturday.

Considerable comment has been made
since the testimony of w. J. Burns be-
fore the Railway Commission in regard
to the sale of the Kenosha Union which
took place more than year ago and
the alleged suppression of this paper
has been urged before The Railroad
Commission as the cause of the failure
of the Kenosha Electric Railway Com
pany to secure franchise from the city
before the Kenosha Gas and Electric
company surrendered it's franchise.
The members Of the firm Of Head and
Simmons today made a complete state
ment in regard to the deal. In this
statement it is declared that there is
nothing to be concealed and that the
assumption that the paper had been
bought to suppress it and thus prevent
the publication of any official notices is
wholly unwarranted. The plant former
ly owned by John A. Killeen was pur-
time and at the present was and is at
the head of the mechanical department
Of the plant of Head and Simmons.
However, Mr.. Larrabee made the pur-
chase Of his own volition and personally
disposed Of the plant. The price paid
for the plant was 1000 and records
held in this Office will show that the
material taken from the plant was dis
posed Of at higher price than that
paid. The deal was a purely business
proposition. Mr.. Killeen felt that it
was impossible for him to further pub
lish the paper and he asked Larrabee to
take it over and assume an indebted
ness of $1,000. This was exactly what
was done and neither Head nor Simmons
figured in the deal until after it had
been closed up and then they only con-
sented to endorse the notes of Mr..
Larrabee for the amount in question.
R. N. Kinball the manager of the
Kenosha Gas and Electric company
knew nothing of the deal until after it
had been closed up and the former pub
Usher of tile Union had retired from
business.
Some two or three months later Head
and Simmons took over the unsold por-
tion of the type, stock and cabinets, the
total amount being $500. This was
the only way which Head and Simmons
were interested in the so-ealled sup
preston of the Union in any way, shape
or manner, and the only benefits they
have ever secured have come through
extra subscriptions and advertising
formerly carried by the Union.

SUNDAY MORN ING FIRE.

Home of Benjamin Vary in Goldberg
Subdivision Destroyed by Fire.
The home of Benjamin Vary in the
Goldberg subdivision southwest Of the
city limits was completely destroyed
by fire on Sunday morning. The fur
niture in the house and even the week s
wages of Vary which had been left in
drawer in one of the rooms were also
burned. The loss will be in the neigh
borhood of $500 and it is covered by
insurance of 5000. The fire originated
in the kitchen of the house and spread
rapidly. The city fire department. was
called and the automobile fire truck
made run to the house but the flames
had spread so rapidly that it was found
impossible to do anything to stop the
fire.

WARNING FOR MERCHANTS.
Postal Orders Stolen in Chicago May
Be Offered for Cashing in Kenosha.

Postmaster John B. Maloney this
morning issued warning to ell ner-
chants in Kenosha asking that the mer-
chants make an effort to secure the ar
rest of two young men wanted for the
theft of a big bunch of money orders
from the Chicago post Office. The or
ders are numbered from 47,085 to At
200. The men also stole the stamp from
the office and have issued the orders
mostly in the amounts of $25. These
orders are now appearing from cities
along the lake shore and the merchants
are given this warning in order to be
able to protect themselves against loss.
For the most part the men have sought
to cash the orders in shoe and clothing
stores. The merchants have been asked
to demand the immediate arrest of any
one presenting any of these orders for
payment.

osha realty and of the faith the holders
of property in this city and county

As TO OUR SENSE OF HUMoR
lks Would Be Dull Without II, But
Its Manifesto tions Are Beyond
Estimation.

A dignihed. retired Judge in the
east was brought near to death late
" through . ft Of laughter caused by
q comparison Of a woman In a hobble
skirt to . giraffe with its feet tied to-
gether. The possessor Of q keen sense
Of humor would hardly md this con-
vulsing, but It nearly killed the Judge.
So. too, q man in Lawrenceburg, Ind,
laughed for IL hours over the idea
Of trading a mule for . shaved-tail
horse.
A sense Of humor IL often a safey
valve to human beings. Life would
be dull thing without It. but it's
manifestations are beyond estimation.
A recent writer speaks Of the fire.
Quency with which It spoils the most
pathetic scenes at the theater; of how
that which should incite pity is mis-
taken by the thoughtless for a subject
Of mirth. The criticism is deserved.
but It 10 to be doubted II 1t will cor
rect misplaced sense Of humor
which seems to be inherent in . con-
siderable portion of the human race
There is no accounting for taste,
even In matters of this sort, and there
10 no way to prevent grave and rev.
erend 1urists or mule traders from be-
coming victims of an undeveloped or
a too greatly developed sense Of
humor.
