Remains of Oshkosh Suicide
Identified as Former Keno
sha Restaurant Cook
HIS WIFE IDENTIFIES REMAINS

The mystery surrounding the identi-
ty of the supposed Kenosha man who
committed suicide in a hotel at Osh-
kosh last January was solved on Sun
day when Mrs Nels Nelson of Chica-
90, identified the remains of the man
as those of her husband who had left
his home in Chicago to come to Keno
sha early in January. Nelson was a
cook and at the time he left his home
he had planned to go to Spalding,
Mich. He stopped at Kenosha and
for two weeks worked as a cook in
local restaurant. He communicated
with his wife several times while in
Kenosha but she is not aware of what
place he worked while here. Nelson
left Kenosha to go to Spalding, Mich,
and got as far as Oshkosh. He stop
ped there for night and went to
hotel and locking himself in a room
Shot himself through the heart. When
the body was found the only thing
that would serve to identify the dead
man was the unused portion of the
ticket from Kenosha to Spalding,
Mich. The remains were held at
morgue in Oshkosh and on Sunday
Mrs. Nelson went to that city and
completed the Identification of the re-
mains and they were shipped to Chica-
go for interment today. Nelson was
in this city but short time and keep
ers of restaurants claim that they do
not remember his being here How
ever, cooks come and go in restaurants
just as they do in private homes and
this is probably the reason that the
man is not remembered by local chefs.
At the time the man killed himself
he was supposed to have been meat
cutter and the local police spent con
siderable time looking through the meat
markets for some trace of his iden-
tity.

Many Cities in State to Pro-
vide Care for the Advanced
Cases Of Consumption
ASK COUNCILS TO AID WORK

Unusual interest has been aroused
by the action of the Racine common
council in granting the Racine Anti
tuberculosis Society permission to
erect a hospital for advanced cases
of consumption to be maintained in
connection with the existing isolation
hospital Outside of Milwaukee, RAJ
cine is the first city in Wisconsin tc

Last Victim of Wreck at Mar
shalltoWn, Ia, Identified as
Former Kenosha Woman
DEATH CAUSES SORROW HERE

The last victim of the disastrous
wreck Of the Rock Island train at
Marshalltown, Iowa, has been identi-
fed and the Identification will bring
sorrow to many people in Kenosha as
the remains were identified as those
of DR.. May Lewis, formerly well
known practicing physician in Keno
sha. For many days the remains Of
Dr. Lewis remained in the morgue
at Marshalltown awaiting Identified
but finally friends at Lacrosse who
had awaited in vain for the coming
of the well known woman went to
Marshalltown and had no trouble in
identifying the remains. The funeral
will be held at Lacrosse on Sunday
and the remains laid at rest in the
Lewis family plat there.
DR.. Lewis spent several years in Ke-
nosha and had an office over the Mer-
chants and Savings Bank. During
her residence in Kenosha she was very
active in her profession and was close
ly connected with many movements to
better the sanitary conditions of the
city She had served as a nurse in
the Cuban war and was one of the few
women who actually saw service on the
battle fields of this war. She came
to Kenosha shortly after the close of
the war and at that time was active
not only in her profession, but in
church work in the city After leav-
ing Kenosha DR.. Lewis located in
Milwaukee where she practiced her
profession until she met with an ac-
cident which rendered her unfit for
work for many months. More recent
ly she had been in practice at Valley
Junction, Iowa, but at the time of her
death she had planned to open an of
fee at Lacrosse and she was on her
way to her old home with this end in
view when she met her death DR..
Lewis was in one of the Pullman
coaches ~teIescoped in the wreck and
it is thought that she met instant
death.
The deceased was about forty -eight
years of age. She was a daughter
of the late Timothy Lewis of Lacrosse
and graduate of Rush Medical Col
lege in Chicago. She is survived by
two sons who are now living with rela-
tives in Lacrosse.

SEVERAL PLANS ARE OUTLINED
Much Difficulty Met in Deciding How
to Provide for the Compensation of
Men Temporarily Disabled by Ac-
cidents.

Wisconsin bids fair to become the
state to take the initiative in another
piece of progressive legislation which
may serve as the example for other
states in the nation. Tentative bills
relating to workingmen' compensa-
tion are being sent out this week from
the Madison headquarters of the legis-
Native committee on industrial insur-
ance. The proposed bills are design
ed to change the whole system Of COM
pensating industrial workers for loss
of wages through injury received
while on duty. AS in other states,
in Wisconsin it usually is necessary
for Workingman who has suffered
loss through injury to resort to the
courts for relief. Ordinarily he must
hire a lawyer on a contingent fee.
The lawyer gets from 80 to 70 per
cent of a possible verdict. Some
times the injured man wins his suit.
More often he loses. At any event
the, cost of such actions is high and
this cost in the aggregate, according
to the results of the Wisconsin com
mittee IS inquiries, is little short of
astounding. The cost is borne IN
great part by the public because of
the courts in which they are tried are
maintained by this same public. In
the last analysis, however Ito use a
hackneyed phrase) the greatest bur
den of this cost is borne by the indus
trial worker who loses wages through
injuries received in his vocation.
Acting upon the generally accepted
theory that the cost of these industrial
accidents should be borne by the in
dustry, and through it, by society, the
Wisconsin committee has drafted a
tentative bill designed to provide the
injured workman with fair part Of
his regular wages while disabled by
accident. Following the schedule
laid down in the German workmen s
compensation law, which has been in
operation successfully for twenty-five
years, the committee has provided in
its tentative bill, that the injured
workman shall receive sixty-fye per
cent Of his wages while disabled.
This rate of compensation is to go in
to effect only in cases where the sub
.ject is disabled for two weeks or more.
Thus the workman who INDUCES in

TURNS DOWN A FIGHT
Conley Declines to Meet Brennigan at
New Orleans in Twenty Round Go

frankie Conley received telegram
from the matchmaker of the Royal
Athletic Club at New Orleans Monday
asking him to sign for twenty round
fight with Patsy Brennigan of New
York and giving him the privilege of
naming any reasonable financial plan
for the battle. Brennigan is a com
ing man in the Conley class, but Con-
ley is to meet Webster at Los Angeles
on April 22nd so he decided that it
would be impossible to take on such
a hard nut as Brennigan while he was
in training for the other fight and for
this reason he declined to accept the
offer. Conley is planning to leave
for the west just as soon as his moth
er who is now in one of the Chicago
hospitals is cut of danger.

ternoon the court heard the evidence
in the divorce action of Elizabeth
Douglas vs.. David Douglas, both resi-
dents of Kenosha. The wife appear
ed in the court, but the husband was
not present in person or represented
by an attorney. The wife alleged
cruel and inhuman treatment and told
of several incidents IN which she had
been mistreated by the husband. The
court indicated that the decree would
be granted as soon as the findings are
drawn by the attorney for the plain
tiff.

ORIGIN OF FIRE A MYSTERY
THOUSANDS of Tons of lice Left Unpro-
tected and Companies Rush Trains
to Garry it to Chicago for Imme-
date Sale.

The village Of Silver Lake in the
town of Salem had the most disastrous
fire in its history on Thursday after
noon when the great ice house of the
Jefferson Ice Company near the Silver
Lake railway station, the largest ice
house in the county, was completely
destroyed. The fire broke out just
after two o clock in the afternoon and
the origin of it is complete mystery.
1t is impossible to tell the exact
amount of the loss from the fire but it
will amount to more than 100000 and
there is only a small amount of insur-
ance on the burned building
People coming In on the western
road this morning witnessed an unusu-
al sight for on the ruins of the great
house there is now nothing but great
pile of ice clear as crystal and extend
ing nearly sixty feet into the air. The
officials of the Jefferson Company are
undecided as what can be done to save
this great pile of ice and it is to be
moved with trains as rapidly as pos
sible. There are hundreds of tons of
ice in the great pile and the loss from
the ice if it is allowed to melt would
be many times the loss by the burning
of the great house. The ice in this
house is claimed to be the finest ice
cut in Kenosha county in years and for
this reason every possible effort will be
made to get it into the great city mar
kets With the present warm wealth
er every hour that the ice is left I'M
protected results in loss of thousands
of dollars to the company.
The cause of the fire is a complete
mystery. The fire was discovered in
the northeast corner of the house and
it spread rapidly to other portions.
The great wooden shell which had been
erected years ago proved to be an
easy victim for the flames and there
was a general call on the people of the
village and the surrounding country
to aid in extinguishing the fire. The
people fought the flames for hours, but
the fire gained rapidly and the village
of Salem was called in to aid in the
Aght that was being made. Late in
the afternoon when the fire fighters
were completely exhausted through the
efforts the big building was abandoned
to its fate. The fire was so fierce
that all traffic on the western division
of the Northwestern was tied up for
several hours on account of it. 1t
was impossible for the trains to pass
the burning building Late in the
night the fire continued to burn, but
this morning there is nothing left but
the great pile of ice to mark the site
of the largest ice house in the county.
Nothing is known of the plans of
the company and it is possible that
ey may decide to build another frame
Oout the great pile of ice, but pending
this decision as much of the ice as is
possible is being moved. Thousands
of ears would be necessary to move the
ice at this time and it is certain that
it would be impossible to get these
cars at this time.

stimulation or soldering" is eliminat
ed from the field. Dependents Of
workmen killed while at work are to
receive three years wages of the dead
man. The maximum in these cases is
placed at $4,000 and the minimum at
81 900. This maximum also is set
in injury cases.
In order to make the compensation
bill effective in the largest degree the
Wisconsin committee proposes sup
Elementary bill which n6difes to a
large extent the common law defenses
now put forth in the defendants side
of injury suits. The fellow servant
doctrine is abrogated as is also the
defense of assumption Of risk. The
doctrine of contributory negligence is
greatly modified. Willful negligence
by the employee remains as a valid
defense. Thus if the two bills go in
to effect most employers will elect to
accept the compensation plan propos-
ed by the committee. Under the
terms of the compensation bill the EN-.
ployer is required to cover the risk
Of loss by carrying insurance either in
a corporation or mutual insurance com
pany.
The tentative bills issued by the
committee are largely in the nature
Of "feelers." A hearing has been
set for April - in Milwaukee at
which employers and employees will
be given opportunity to voice their
criticisms OF suggestions. At that
time it is expected that there viii be
much discussion over the subject over
the cost Of carrying the new class Of
insurance. The bill as outlined pro-
poses two methods. One is that the
employer pay the whole cost; the
other is that he pays the whole cost
and be reimbursed to the extent Of
20 per cent Of the same by the state.
Many of the employers assert that the
employees should be required to pay
part of the cost of the accident in
surance. This feature of the propos-
ed plan will not be worked out in full
until all sides have been heard.
In framing its bills the Wisconsin
committee has worked with the Min
nesota and New York commissions on
workmen s compensation. 1t also has
had the cordial assistance of the Unit
ed States labor bureau under Commits
sioner C. P. NeiIl. Members Of the
Wisconsin committee are senators A.
w. Sanborn of Ashland, E. T. Fair
child Of Milwaukee, John J.-Blaine Of
Boscobel and Assemblyman Wallace
ingalls, of Racine, c. B. Culbertson of
Stanley, w. D. Egan of Superior and
G. G. Draw of West Milwaukee. P.
J. Watrous Of Milwaukee is secretary.
In large measure the suggestions made
by Assemblyman ingalls, of Racine
last October have been used in the
bill abrogating the defenses of employ
ers. This plan has met the approval
of the committee to large extent and
also has had the endorsement of Com
missioner Neil and other experts in
the work of mapping out satisfactory
system to take the place Of the present
method of dealing with industrial ac-
cidents.
