DEATH OF HERMAN scHAFER
Former Pleasant Prairie Man Died on
Friday at His Home in Englewood

Word was received in this city this
morning of the death of Herman Scha-
fer who died at his home in Engle-
wood. H., on Friday afternoon after
a short illness of pneumonia. Al
though he had only been i'll since last
Sunday few of his friends regarded
his condition serious until Thursday
when physicians gave up all hopes of
his recovery. The death of Mr..
Sehafer seems doubly sad because of his
wife IS death, Mrs Doris Lange Schaf-
er little over two months ago. He
was well known in this city and coun-
ty having spent part of his boyhood
in the town of Pleasant Prairie. He
is survived by one son, George w.
Of Morgan Park, H., and one
daughter, Eda who made her home
with her father up to the time of his
death. He is also a brother-in- law of
Henry and Jacob LANCE of this city.

MAY MAKE CHANGES
State Oil Inspector Tracy Claims
Some of His Deputies are Negligent

There is a belief that Edward L.
Tracy Of Milwaukee, state oil inspec-
tor, plans to make many changes in
his deputies throughout the state and
that such changes will be made be-
fore March Is.
It is reported that Mr.. Tracy is on
the war path against deputy oil in
spectorsi whom he claims are inactive
and are unable to discover violations
of the law in their respective sec
tons Mr.. Tracy has written to
Secretary Daty of the civil service
commission asking him for an eligible
list which indicates that he is likely
to discharge some of the men under
him who have not been earning their
salaries. The state oil inspector be
lieves there have been violations of
the law and considers it easy to find
them and to produce sufficient evi-
dence to cause conviction.
Harry Grace is the local inspector
and it is expected that he will be re-
tanned in Office.

WIFE WAS HYNOTIZED
Unusual State of Facts is Put Up
to the County Clerk

County Clerk Jones has hard CUES
tion to settle and that is as to whether
a woman married while under the hyp-
motto state is married according to the
laws of Wisconsin. The question
came up in connection with an appli-
cation for a marriage license made
by E. Hjalmar Ostlund of Kenosha
who seeks to wed Elfrieda s. Andee
of Chicago. The license had been
written out and then the groom told
the clerk the conditions. He declars
ed that Miss Andee who is twenty-five
years of age had at one time been
married while under a, hypnotic spell.
He declared that as soon as she came
to her senses she left the man and
that she had lived with him less than
a day. Under the circumstances the
clerk declined to issue the license and
Ostlund went to Chicago today to get
some further facts in regard to the
case. The case is one of the most in
teresting ever laid before the county
clerk.

the statement does not show up very

HAS AN INTERESTING GAME
Man is Alleged to be a Representative
of an Eastern Publishing House and
the Police Claim That he is An
Imposter.

Trailed into Kenosha the police of
the city are making an effort to To-
cate one of the smoothest subscrip-
tion swindlers who has ever worked
in Wisconsin. The man is alleged by
his papers to represent an eastern pub
fishing company and reports received
from the police in Milwaukee indicate
that the man has worked in many
cities of the state. He left Milwau.
kee several weeks ago and was heard
Of in Kenosha early Friday morning
and an hour after the police had re-
ceived a message stating that he was
at work in Kenosna the police were
put on his trail but they have not as
yet been able to locate him and it is
possible that the fellow got wind of
the fact that the officers were after
him and slipped ont of the city. That
the man worked here is certain and
the police are now seeking to dis
cover how many victims he secured
before he left the city for some other
field Of labor. The man has slick
game. He represents himself as the
accredited agent of an eastern publish
ing company and offers to take SUBJ
scriptions for magazine giving
premiums of such value that it is a
hard matter for the woman to refuse
his offer. In Milwaukee the man Of
fered to give dress pattern valued
at from three to eight dollars and the
magazine for a dollar and quarter
and this same offer was made in a
number of Kenosha homes. It is
claimed by the police that the publish
ing company for which the man is al
legged to work is simply stall to pro-
tect his workings and that the maya
zine he is alleged to be selling has
no existence except in his fertile
imagin alton.
According to the police the man has
worked in a dozen Wisconsin cities
within the last few months and has
reaped great harvest off his work.
Time and again he has slipped out of
the clutches of police officers and it is
thought that he has a confederate who
keeps in touch with the police while
the man works and gives him warning
the first time that an effort is made
to find him. All such agents coming
into Kenosha are being closely scruti-
nized and the chief of police has noti-
fed every man on the force that all
agents working in Kenosha regardless
of their propositions must be looked
after and their credentials investigat-
ed. In order to make this work more
general the police have asked the peo-
pie of the city to give them early in
formation of any such agents working
in the city.

Committee Met on Friday Night but
Petitions Are Not Yet Ready to
be Filed With the Mayor for
Special Election.

Announcement has been made by
Superintendent Weed of the Milwau-

that the question of license or no.
license would be voted upon in over
1000 communities in the state at the
April election.
The campaign is the most general
ever carried on in the state and the
Anti-Saloon League people declare
they believe much dry territory will
be added in Wisconsin as result of
the fight
Among the larger cities, in which
petitions are already in circulation
calling for the submission to the peo-
pie at the coming spring election Of
the question Of license or no license
are Racine, Milwaukee, Kenosha, Be

Superior, Marinette, Appleton, Nee
nah, Menasha, Mineral Point, Dodge

The members of the Kenosha com
mittee in charge of the fight against
licenses met on Friday evening at the
Y. M. c. A. building but on account
of the absence of the Rev. f. S. Dim
YoOcI- +bo oba irr,on Of +bo commit 90
the meeting was Of an informal nature
and little was done to force the cir
culation of petitions. The petitions
arc now being prepared and the mem
bers of the committee will seek to
have a house to house canvass made
of the city so that every voter will
have a chance to sign them. The
promoters of the campaign declare
that the signatures to the petitions
will come as surprise to many peo-
pie in the city who are not aware of
the feeling that exists in Kenosha
favorable to the fight against license.
The petitions must be filed with the
mayor some time before the election
and this will require some tall hust-
ling among the members of the com
mittee in order to get the required
number of signatures With the re-
turn of Chairman Dimmock early next
week it is expected that the work of
getting the petitions signed will go
forward with vigOr.
1t is stated that the opponents of
the saloon intend to conduct very
warm campaigns in the cities in which
the question is to be submitted and
that a large number of outside speak
ers will come into Wisconsin to speak
on the question
Political leaders in the state will
watch with considerable interest the
results of these license or no-license
elections in an endeavor to gain
through the returns some idea Of the
strength of the support of the county
option movement in the state.

See Possibilities Of a Big
Fight for Conley
is MATCH FOR MILWAUKEE, MAN

Will a Wisconsin boy succeed AID
Wolgast as lightweight champion of
the world? Is Frank (Kid) Conley,.
the great Kenosha scrapper, the only
boxer in the country who can tame
Wolgast?
These are the questions fight fans
were asking after the two great bat
ties of Tuesday had been discussed
for the ten thousandth time. No one
denies that Conley is a Wolgast hoo
doc. The Flying Dutchman has ex-
changed compliments with the crack
Kenosha boy on three different. occa-
sions. In their first battle Wolgast
was awarded the decision, but there
were a great many about the ring who
thought that Conley was entitled to
a draw. The second meeting resulted
in draw, but it was a close, shave,
and Conleys friends still claim that
the italian deserved the decision. Of
course Wolgasts friends deny this, but
the mere fact that there was room
for argument shows. how close the
scrap really was. The third meeting
in Racine was also a draw with both
sides claiming the shade.
Every one of the three fights were
of the rough and tumble order VOL
CAST often said that Conley was the
toughest man he ever met, but he was
always willing to give him a fight.
Since their last fight both men. have
sprung into national prominence and
now that Wolgast has captured
championship Conley is certain to set
himself on the Germans trail Al
though only bantam, ConIey feels
sure he can whip Wolgast and if
Adolphus will agree to make weight
for the little fellow match will prob
ably be arranged.
Though Conley knocked out Monte

least six claimants to the title, and
every one has as good claim as the
Kenosha boy. His friends claim,
however, that he will hold undisputed

WANT MARSH TO RUN
Neillsyille Senator May Be a
Candidate for Republican
Nomina ton for Governor
ON COUNTY OPTION PLATFORM

Events of the last few days show
there is no question a very decided
attempt is being made to draw State
Senator Marsh of Neillsville into the
state political field as candidate for
the Republican, nomination. for gov
ernor.
Mr. Marsh is at present at his win
ter home near Lakeland, Fla, and it
can be said that ever since the with
drawal of Senator Morris from the gu
bernatorial race and his entrance into
the field as candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for lieutenant COVER
nor letters and kilograms have been
going from this state to the Florida
home of Senator Marsh asking him to
make the run. That he is paying
some attention to the call can be seen
by the fact that close friends of Sena-
tor Marsh in this state believe he will
come north early next week to talk
over the situation with friends here
and that the result of the converse
tions may be the launching of his
candidacy.
If Senator Marsh should run for the
Republican nomination for governor it
will be on county option platform.
In the state senate last winter the SEN
ator was the chief supporter of county
option. There would be no mistaking
his stand should he enter the field nor
any equivocation or lodging of the
issue.
There is reason for the belief that
the men close to Senator LaFollette in
this state are not anxious for the can
didacy of Senator Marsh for the Re-
publican nomination for governor for
the reason that they feel it would
make the county option issue promi-
nent in the state campaign a situa-
ton which the LaFollette leaders do
not desire.

Mayor Lamont, Aldermen Schultz
and a number of other officials of the
city of Wausau spent Sunday after
noon in Kenosha looking over the
equipment of the Kenosha fire depart
ment and it is expected that as re-
suit of the visit the Peter Pirsch Com
pany will get a large order for appara-
tus for the Wausau department. The
mayor and other officials had a very
pleasant stop in Kenosha and they were
greatly pleased with the equipment of
the Kenosha department. High praise
was bestowed on the manner in which
the Kenosha council looks after the
protection Of the city against fire.
Wausau is decidedly progressive city
and there is littue doubt but that she
will nearly duplicate the department Of
Kenosha as result of the visit.
