EVIDENCE WAS SUFFICIENT
District Attorney Urges the Governor
Not to Take any Action for Release
of Kenosha Man Serving Long Term
in Prison,


District Attorney Robert Verne Bak-
er appeared before Governor Davidson
at the executive mansion in Madison
on Wednesday afternoon and formally
protested against>the issuance of par
don to Charles Loescher now serving a
ten year sentence in the state prison
al Waupun. The claims Of Loescher
for a pardon had been presented to the
Governor some time ago by Racine at
torneys and the Governor notified the
District Attorney that he did mot de-
sire to act on the pardon until rep
resentative of Kenosha county had ap-
peared before him and presented the
case. The attorneys for Loeseher had
laid before the Governor plea in
which they declared that the evidence
on which Loescher was convicted was
insufficient to the court and jury and
that doubts had been expressed as to
the guilt Of Loescher. The argument
of the attorneys it is admitted had
made ar impression on the Governor
but with his usual care in such matters
he declined to grant the pardon until
after the court officials Of the county
had chance to appear before him and
be heard. AS soon as he had heard the
argument for the pardon the Governor
sent letter to the District Attorney
asking him to come to Madison as soon
as possible.
in his argument ON Wednesday ~af-
ternoon District Attorney Baker re-
viewed all of the evidence in the Loes-
cher case and showed that Judge Bra
zee who had presided at the hearing
of the trial was dead. The District
Attorney declared to the Governor
that the evidence as presented to the
jury warranted the conviction of Loes-
cher on the offense charged but that
the court had given Loescher the bene-
fit Of the doubt in making the sentence
and had sentenced him on the lighter
offense.
There is no doubt but that the argu-
ment of Attorney Baker made strong
impression upon the Governor but he
did not announce what action would
be taken in the case. It is the custom
of the Governor to issue pardons on
the day before Christmas but the of
ficials of the county feel certain that
Loescher will not be among the mum
Der to receive clemency from the Gcv-
ernor this year. Loescher has served
only a little over year of his ten
year term in the state prison.

Increase in Insurance Rates
of Knights of Pythias At
fects Only Fourth Glass
NO MEMBERS IN This CITY

The increase in rates on the old
fourth class members of the insurance
department of the Knights of Pythias
goes into effect Jan. l. This class in
cludeS the members who refused to
transfer to the new fifth class based on
adequate rates, and has naturally suf-
fered from adverse selection.
The mortality rate is very high, as
large proportion Of the remaining
members are of advanced age or in
impaired health, and the new rates re-
feet this condition. Various options
are given, however, for transferring
to the fifth class, the calling of claims,
etc, and S. Ell. Wolfe, the ell-known
actuary of New York, who furnished
the new rates, declares that they will
be adequate ard will require no in
crease in the future.
The old members whose rates have
suffered sharp advances, however, are
protesting, and in New York a mem
Der has asked the attorney general to
begin receivership proceedings. There
lis no likelihood of this, the officers say
as the fifth class has surplus of over
$2,000,000 and was able to omit q
monthly assessment during the year
while the fourth class, where the only
trouble exists, can levy special assess.
ments whenever necessary to meet in
creased death claims. It still has a
surplus on hand and until this is ex.
hausted and members are unable to col
lect their death claims, it is said, there
is no excuse for receivership under
the assessment plan of insurance.
After Jan. l, the rates are claimed
to be adequate to meet the liabilities
The officers of the order insist that the
members of the fourth class have NO
right to complain, since they were Civ.
en- every opportunity to transfer to the
adequate-rate fifth class without medi-
cal examination, have been getting
their insurance for years at less than
cost and are merely asked under the
new plan to pay the rates actually
required to meet their obligations.
George M. Hanson, supreme chan
cellor of the Knights of Pythias, has
sent to the order letter urging fra
ternal assistance in getting the fourth
class members on safe basis and
declaring that the supreme lodge and
not the officers of the insurance de-
partment takes the responsibility fol-
the increase in rates, which was alb.
solutely necessary.
1t was stated today by an officer
of the local lodge knights Of Pythias
that there are no fourth class members
in Kenosha so that the increase in
rates will not affect any of the local
members.

MAKE NEW CONCESSIONS.
Milwaukee Merchants Make a New Eff
fort to Capture Trade in Kenosha Co.

There is a new cause of GOODNESS be-
tween the Milwaukee and Kenosha
merchants as one of the big depart
ment stores of Milwaukee has inaugu-
rated a telephone service with view
of cleaning up all the business in the
state. The store provides for free
telephone service to be used in order
ing goods and it further provides for
free delivery of the goods to any point
in Kenosha county which can be reach
ed by an Express company. This is a
new idea in seeking trade and the
Milwaukee merchants it is claimed are
determined to get Kenosha people
started toward Milwaukee and will of
fer some other trade inducements af-
ter the new year.

New Committee of Safety for
Railway Men Takes Care of
Employer and Employee
RAILWAYS LIKE new MOVE

As result of committees of safe
ty,n the accidents in plants of one
big industrial corporation We're reduc-
ed half, in consequence of which
success a Chicago railway has adopted
the safety committee plan, and is like
" to be followed by other railways
and industrial corporations.
According to the League for Public
Safety, the plan shifts to tbs employe
part of the responsibility for acct
dents and also enables them through
their representation on the committee
to bring about needed changes and i'm
provements to safeguard life.
The enormous waste of lives in rail
road operation generally deplored by
executives, has been acted upon by
r. G. Richards, general claim agent OF
the Northwestern system, who has Civ
en- a great amount of personal attention
to the subject for years. He was the
first publicly to protest against the an
nual increase of the death and injury
list, an address he made to employees
having been published as booklet
Conservation Of Men," which other
roads and industrial companies have
distributed by the thousand for the
good it may do in Increasing the care
fulness and prudence of the men who
man the trains and actually run the
road.
The Northwestern s committee have
been appointed on most of the divi
sions of the system, and each will in
clude ten men, made up from the en-
CINE men, train men. track men, round
house men, shop men and superinten
dents.
In addressing employees, Mr.. Rich
ards said: During the last year in
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission made their report, there were
killed, not injured, but killed on the
railroads Of this country 1898 men
women and children; that is one fol
every so minutes of every "a hours OF
every day in the 1855 days of those Il
months, and Of that number $40, not
$40, but $40, or 10 a day, were young
men; they were your brothers, youl
fathers, your sons and your next door
neighbors who were killed. In the same
year there were los 234 people injured
or one for every S minutes every day
of the 365 days of the year. Of that
number s3,367 were you people, you
railroad men. Think of it. so per cent
of all the people injured were employees
not passengers, not outsiders, but lust
us railroad employees. What do you
think of that for record in business
| which advertises itself to be safe?'

JOHNSON FEARS
RACE RIOT

San Francisco, June 12.-Jack
johnson is fearful of a race riot
occurring at the arena on July 4,
when he meets Jeffries for the
heavyweight championship of the
world, and the colored man has al
ready sought protection from the
chief of police and the sheriff.
johnson brought up this subject a
few days ago and talked as if he
feared that the white men at the
ringside might be worked up into
a frenzied mood in the event that
Jeffries was being whipped and
start trouble.
johnson is afraid of the delega-
ton which is coming here from
Tennessee to see the fight, as
many of them are prejudiced
against colored men, he says.
To prevent any trouble and ar
guments that might occur between
the colored spectators and the
white men were in the arena, Pro-
moter Tex Rickard has set aside
a space for the colored spectators.
Eight thousand seats have been
set aside for the Negroes are ex-
