Deputy Game Warden Kleist
Arrests Italians for Shoot
ing Harmless Birds
COURT IMPOSES HEAVY FINES

Deputy Game Warden Michael Kleist
has started a crusade to put an end to
the slaughter of, harmless birds in Ke-
nosha county and in his crusade he is
assured of the hearty support of Judge
Clifford E. Randall in the municipal
court. Judge Randall laid down the law
In his court this morning in sentenc-
ing two Italians arrested for shooting
harmless birds in the town Of Pleasant
Prairie and at that time he declared
that any further arrests for the killing
of song birds would result in the peo-
pie arrested being given Jail sentence
without the option of paying fine.
The two men arrested by Warden Kleist
on Sunday were Albert Lucie and John
Scarleto. The evidence against the men
consisted of nine song birds which had
been taken from the bags carried by the
Italians by Warden Kleist at the time
of the arrest. Lucie admitted that he
given the limit under the law fine of
So for each bird killed the total amount
ing to thirty dollars and the costs of
the action. The other man was fined
$15 and costs. The Italians both pro
fessed ignorance in regard to the law
for the protection Of song birds and
Judge Randall in sentencing the pair
said: ~ want you to tell all your
friends that it is against the law to
kill these song birds and you can also
say that if other arrests are made on
this charge the people arrested will be
sent to jail and not given chance to
get off with the payment of fine"
Kleist had his hands full arresting
Lucie as the Italian threatened to strike
him with the rifle but Kleist finally dis
armed him and brought him to the city.
These two Italians were both shoot
ing in the town of Pleasant Prairie and
it is declared that this is a common
practice on Sunday. The men use the
birds as food products and it is claimed
by people who have made complaints
against the wholesale slaughter of harm
less birds that every Sunday men go to
the suburbs of the city and slaughter
scores of the birds. The Deputy Game
Warden has been so busy attending to
the work about the lake resorts that he
has been unable to get after this sort
of violations of the law but he declares
that In the future weeks he is going to
go after these violators with great Wig
or. The certainty of Jail sentence will
probably have a tendency to protect the
birds as much as the vigilance of the
game warden.

While it is admitted that the regis
trars of vital statistics in all of the
counties in the state are doing much
better work than formerly there are
discrepancies in the reports sent out by
the state board of health that can
be accounted for in no other way
than by the conclusion that there
must be errors in the returns made
by some of the counties. For instance
such big difference in the death rate
between the southern and northern
counties of the state as is shown in the
report must be due to the failure of
the registrars of the northern counties
to make complete returns to the state
board.

MILWAUKEE, AS HEADQUARTERS
Republicans Will Not Remove Head
quarters to Madison This Year.

The Republican leaders who are manag-
ing the LaFollette campaign are busily
planning for the. battle and the gen
eral idea still seems to be that even
if G. III. Crownhart is chose en- as candi-
date for attorney general he will be
continued as the campaign manager.
Despite reports to the contrary the
main Offices of the Republican campaign
will be in Milwaukee just as they have
been in previous years and the general
fight will be carried on from that city.
1t is not the intention, it is said, that
the committee shall send out much liter
allure and it is claimed that an expen-
sive campaign is not contemplated for
the reason it is not believed the com
mittee will have a great deal Of money
with which to conduct the campaign.
F. i. McGovern, the Republican can.
didate for governor, will be the pr;n-
cipal speaker in the campaign, although
it is said outside speakers will also be
in here for the fight.
It is likely an auxiliary campaign
headquarters will also be maintained
at Madison where some matter pecu-
liarly of interest in the senatorial sit
uation will be mailed.
All the candidates on the Republican
state ticket were in Milwaukee Satur-
day night and had meeting at the
headquarters Of F. E. McGovern. The
meeting was, however, only prelimi-
nary to a meeting which will be held
Wednesday or Thursday Of this week
at which the congressional candidates
will be present also, and active cam
paign plans made. A practically gen
eral conference of the legislative can
didates on the Republican side of the
fence will also be held here some even
ing this week.

The anniversary of the loss of the
"Lady Flgin' serves to call atten-
tion to ,the great advances in lake
transportation since that day and the
many improvements for the safety and
conveniences of travellers. None of
the modern passenger steamers could
90 down in twenty minutes even if
cut squarly in two and the use Of the
wireless which all the better class
of steamers carry would bring assist
ance to the scene Of any wreck especial
ly in the vicinity of the larger lake
ports in time to rescue passengers who
took to the life RATS such as were
used by the passengers of the "Lady
Elgin''. There are only two dangers
which it has been found impossible to
guard against with any degree of sue
cess, one is fire and the other is panic
on crowded decks and the latter is
liable to cause the next big disaster
on the great lakes on one Of the over
crowded excursion steamers which run
out Of every big port on all Of the
lakes all through the summer season.

When the election board of but one
precinct or ward out of eighteen can
make their returns Of the results of
an election in the form required by
law in such shape that they will be
accepted by the official board of can
vassers either the printed instructions
given to election officials are not plain
enough or the law is too complicated.
Perhaps there was a little of both in
the primary election in this county but
if the law is amended many more times
it may be necessary to hold regular
school of instruction for election Of
fcials so that there can be no chance
of successful protest against an cleo
tion because of some error in the man
ner Of making the returns. Where the
majorities are so large that there can
be no question Of the results of an
election, technical errors would hardly
make any difference but in a close con-
test the fact that the returns were i'm
properly filed out by some Of the cleo
ton boards might be made the basis
of a contest that would invalidate the
whole election or throw the vote of the
wards or towns where the mistakes
were made out altogether.

MISS JACKMAN A BRIDE.
Well Known Kenosha Young Lady Mar
ried to Paul Feringer of Milwaukee.

There was a pretty little wedding at
the home of Frank Lambrecht on Day
ton street Saturday evening, when Miss
Edna Jackman became the bride of
Paul Feringer of Milwaukee. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Carl Buen-
ger in the presence of the near relatives
of bride and groom.
The bride was attired in white lace
over silk null, her veil was charmingly
draped and caught back with cluster
of roses. She was. attended by Miss
Stencil of Waukegan as maid of honor
and Edward Stencil acted as best man.
The home was beautifully decorated
in pink and white for the occasion.
Later in the evening Mr. and Mrs.
Ferlnger left for a trip to Northern
Wisconsin where they will spend their
honeymoon.
Miss Jackman is well known here
through her work as a musician. Mr..
Feringer is a Milwaukee business man.
They will make their home in Milwau-
kee and will have the best wishes of a
host of friends.

The movement to do away entirely
with the distribution Of mail on, sun
day will be opposed by many OF the
larger concerns all over the country
and is not likely to make much heaG
way for long time yet even though
the ministers should decide to act on
the resolutions for Sunday closing pass
ed by the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks. There is no necessity
of the full Office force of any office
working every Sunday and by giving
some Of the men on the waiting list
for jobs in the postal service one days
work week the Sunday distribution
could be arranged SO that the clerks
in the postoflice would not have to put
i'm time on Sunday any oftener than
men in similar positions in other of
fees.

The most earnest advocates of the
primary election law will hardly CON
tend that it is a success in naming
party committees. The voters generally
paid no attention whatever to the
provisions of the law requiring them
to name their party committeeman and
it is ridiculous to say that man named
on the committee by a single vote
represents the choice of the voters
of his party in ward. The end of
party organization is in sight under
this system of naming committeeman.

All bird lovers will rejoice that the
foreigners who have been killing every
bird they could find within radius OF
five miles of the city are to be given
to understand that this sort of sport
must cease and all of the farmers who
are just beginning to appreciate the
value of the birds to their farms will
be ready and anxious to help the game
warden enforce the law by every means
in their power. The deputy game war
den has been so busy running down VIC
lations of the fish and game laws in
the lake regions of the county that he
has had little time to look after the
law breakers in the vicinity of the city
but il is promised that from now on
vigorous efforts are to be made to stop
the slaughter of the song birds. The
heavy fines assessed against the two
men caught Sunday and the warning
issued by the judge show that the
court is prepared to back up the efforts
of the warden to the limit OF the law
When arrested these men claimed that
they were ignorant of any law for
bidding the killing of the birds and it
is possible that they were innocent to
that extent but the news of the heavy
fines assessed against them has probably
filtered through all the foreign colonies
by this time and should have the desired
effect of cutting down the number of
"hunting" parties leaving the city
every Sunday.

ARRANGE FINAL SESSION.
Legislative Committee Oh Industrial In
surance to Meet in Milwaukee.

Wednesday or Thursday the special
committee on industrial in
surance will hold a meeting in Milwau-
kee for the purpose of making plans
for the final hearings on the third
tentative bill which has been drawn on
the subject of industrial insurance and
it is hoped that the hearings which
will then be arranged will be the final
hearings on the bill.
Employees have been going over the
bill carefully, and as has been said be-
fore, the greatest objection which has
been found to the measure on the part
of manufacturers is that the bill en-
tirely takes away the defense Of con-
tributory negligence from the employ
er.
This clause has however, been in all
three of the bills and from the talk of
members there would seem to be no
chance that it would under any cir
cumstances be withdrawn from the
measure. It is claimed that without
this clause the measure would be value
less.
There will be strong contention or
the part of the labor people to have
eliminated from the bill the clause max
ing the intoxication of the injured party
defense As has also been said before
The labor men claim such clause on
the bill will open the way to all kinds
of litigation based on the claim of the
intoxication of the men injured.

An informative but depressing article
in the latest issue of the American Re
view Of Reviews throws light on the
petty frauds so largely practiced in
weights and measures. The author deals
with the false bushels, the fraudulent
berry box, the dented tin measures, the
milk can within the milk can, the false
bottom dry measure, the juggled spring
scale, the wire-weighted scale pan and
other dark devices of the retail mind.
AS he says pointedly, "the familiar
units of measures have become merely
figures of speech The tricks are in
general use, and "trade CUSTOM even
defends them.
Fortunately the evil is being attacked
in quarters that can conspiculously set
a GOOD example. In New York the
campaign of the city department. Of
Weights and measures against these
widespread frauds has been one of the
sensational features of the Gaynor ad-
ministration. In Chicago the endeavors
Of Inspector HIGHLANDER have had a
good effect. This is matter that con-
Germs the body of the great purchasing
public, especially small purchasers at
retail. They have right to be pro-
tected against trickeries, fraudulent
manufactured weighing apparatus and
customs that mean deception and
imposition.-Record Herald

The changes promised in the traffic
arrangements of the street railway com
pany when the paving work now I'M
der way is completed will certainly
be great convenience to the people
Of the city and will give Kenosha
one Of the best street railway systems
in the state Kenosha people are
entitled to the best that the company
can give for they have been very
liberal patrons of the street railway
company from the day the first car was
run over the line. This was one of
three cities in the country where the
building of a street railway system
proved paying proposition for, the
owners from the very beginning and the
books Of the Kenosha company showed
a fair profit on its first years business.
Kenosha people did not have to be
educated up to using the cars; they
patronized them from the first. The
patronage given the company has been
limited only by the accommodations
furnished and the proposals of the
managers Of the company to extend it's
service and put on additional ears
wherever possible show good bust
ness Judgment, for in all cases where
extensions have been made the increase
in receipts which followed has paid
fair return on the investment.

There is serious word to be said
against baseball. 1t is purely intel
leetual occupation, and what its patrons
really need is bodily exercise. What
the oficemen, who are said to spend
upon the game twenty million dollars
a year and time enough to reach be
You'd the Pyramids, get out of it is
the development of a. critical faculty
An accomplished fan, for example, will
tell you exactly what would have hap
pened in the eighth inning if a GER
tain right fielder hadn t made a. wild
throw to first base in the second inning;
but he couldn t personally throw ten
mis- ball thirty feet AMI hit barn His
sport develops an overdeveloped brain
and leaves his muscles faccid.
Cricket, for all our sneers, has the
great advantage that grown men play
it as a diversion; while nobody above
the age of twenty plays baseball unless
he is hired One gets the air, to be sure;
but one can do that by leaning out of
the window. Every able-bodied man
ought to play something or other, and
not merely watch other peoplo play.
To experience the rare and unexpected
JOY of landing golf ball somewhere
in the vicinity Of the point aimed at,
or to lob tennis bah in such skill
full manner that it viii actually fall
inside the court, is to put oneself in the
only proper and deeply stimulating rela
tionship with sport. There is something
to be said for croquet, OF mumble-the-
