CHICAGO BROKER WEEDS HERE
r. D. Bliss of Chicago Married to
Miss Mary v. Kern in Kenosha

A wedding of great interest took
place at the parsonage of the First
Baptist church in Kenosha late
Thursday afternoon when Raymond
D.. Bliss, widely known as a
broker in Chicago, was married to Miss
Mary V. Kern, also Of Chicago. The
groom gave his age as so and he adj
mitted that this was his second mar
riage, he having been divorced from
a former wife twenty-seven years ago.
The bride was also entering into matri-
money for the second time as she had
been divorced ten years ago, but the
court granting the decree had given
her the right to resume her maiden
name. Mrs. Bliss is a daughter of
John W. Kern of Indiana. The cere-
mony was performer by the Rev. F.
S. Dimmock and the couple returned
to Chicago Immediately after the cere-
mony.

Lake Shore League Reorgan-
lied With 6 Team Circuit
-Breen Team in the Cold
DON'T WANT TRAVELLING TEAM

Kenosha base bail fans will not have
any league figures to bother them this
year rs at meeting of the direc:ors
of the Lake Shore League held at he
Republican House in Milwaukee on
Wednesday night the directors of the
league voted to drop Kenosha from the
circuit on account of the fact that
Manager Breen of the Kenosha team
had rented his park and the league
directors did not care to have ally
"traveling' teams in the circuit Eff
forts were made to have other teams
in Kenosha take the Lake Shore
League franchise for this city, but
these negotiations all fell fiat and the
directors decided to re-organize the
league with ask team circuit leaving
Kenosha which had been selected as the
seventh team out in the cold. The
league will be made up of the teams
at Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Port Wash
ington, Menasha and two teams in Mil
waukee. All of the teams will have
parks of their own and the season of
twentyfour games will open on the
first of May and end on September IS.
The action Of the board Of directors
probably puts an end to Kenosha play
ing any outside teams during the sea-
son as it is not probable that Breen
will organize a team and the last game
with an out of town team will prob
ably take place next Sunday when the
old stand bys, the Union Giants of
Chicago, will come to Kenosha to meet
picked team from the city league
teams. The officials of the city
league have arranged with Charles r.
Jeffery to take over the lease of the
park for this season and it is said
that Manager Breen who has con-
trolled the park since it opened will
retire entirely from the base ball world
of Kenosha. 1t is possible that some
time later in the season the directors
of the city league will make arrange
ments for picked team of the Keno.
sha players to meet several of the Lake
Shore League teams, but no arrange
ments to this end have DIS yet been
made.

OLD SPANISH swNDLE
Hidden Treasure is the Bait Used
to Lure Victims

Again the Spanish swindle is after
the American sucker. 1t is the same
old gag. There is fortune of thous-
ands of dollars hidden in an old trunk,
but the writer is in prison and cannot
get out to enjoy the wealth, but he
is willing to reveal secrets to anyone
who will put up good sum. A half
dozen men in Kenosha are in receipt
OF these letters, from the victims of
circumstances. Here is the substance
of the letters:
81 am in prison in this city (Ma-
drid) for failure in business and l beg
you to come to my assistance to Sc

Social Democratic Leaders Do
Not Like Tentative Indus
trial Insurance Bill
DISCUSS BILL IN MILWAUKEE,

Social Democratic leaders who have
been examining the tentative indus
trial insurance bill which has been
drawn by the special legislative COM
mittee on Industrial insurance will ap-
pear before the special committee at
its session in Milwaukee today in op-
position to the measure in its present
form.
The opposition of the Social Demo
Gratis is to clauses Z and s of the
proposed bill, which provide for the
method in which the employer of labor
is to meet the contingencies of posi-
bic damage payments under the meas
ure.
The Socialists think that it offers
too many alternatives and too little
protection to the employees in case
protective liability insurance which
may be taken out by the employer
should fail In other words they
think the door left unguarded for
the employee to lose his indemnities
through bankruptcy. AS yet they
have not decided what substitute
clauses they shall propose, but one of
the plans suggested is that the state,
as last resort, guarantee the pay
ment of the indemnity.
The special legislative committee on
industrial insurance will open its SEES
sion in Milwaukee today in the school
board rooms of the city hall. All the
members of the committee excepting
Assemblyman ingalls,, who is in Ger
many studying the insurance question
will be in attendance at the meeting.
Another objection which is offered
by the Social Democrats to the meas
ure is the fact that it repeats the rail
way co-employee law.

This dispute between the Northwest
ern railway and the city over the
guarding of the crossings of the line
within the city limits has been going
on internationally for years and the
city officials should make a special eff
fort now to get it settled in such a
way that it cannot crop up again at
some future date. The people of the
city do not care continental whether
the railway company calls the man
who guards the crossings a "watch-
man" or a switchman" so long as
they are properly guarded, but they
have a right to demand that the cont
pany take all possible precautions to
prevent accidents and to make the
crossings as safe as it is possible to
make them. No one who is familiar
with conditions in the city will seri-
ously contend that everything has been
done that could be done to make the
crossings safe, but by the exercise of a
little common sense on both sides it
should be possible to reach an agree
ment satisfactory to all concerned ia
a half hours conference and one that
will last.

MANY TO RAISE BETS
Kenosha and Racine Counties Expect to
be Center of Great Industry

Racine and Kenosha counties are.
destined to become the greatest sugar
beet growing sections in the state of
Wisconsin. This prediction was made
at Corliss by representative of the
Menominee Sugar Beet Company to a
press representative.
This year three thousand acres of
land in the two counties are to be de-
voted to the growing of sugar beets
and 6,100 pounds of seed has been dis
tributed among the farmers
These beets are already sold at a
contract price and when harvested
will be shipped to the factories of the
company at GAINESVILLE and other
places. Growing of cabbage in this
Ficinity is on the decline to consld.
cradle extent and the belief prevails
among many farmers that sugar beets
will eventually become a more profit
able product.
Indications are that at no distant
day large sugar beet factory will be
established at Corliss or TruesdeI.
There are scores Of farmers now who
would take stock in such an enter
prise.

The vote on the proposition to build
new city hall was certainly deci-
sive one, particularly as the question
carried by large majority at an cleo
tion where the fight over the license
question apparently engrossed the at
tention of the voters to the exclusion
of everything else, All things con
sidered the number of voters who
registered their opinion on the propo-
sition was surprisingly large and with
this mandate from the voters, the
council may be expected to go ahead
with the building at once so that the
new building can be ready for the
use of che city officials before the
lease of their present quarters in the
county building expires next March.
Probably most Of the voters who fav.
pred the building of a new city hall
believed that the proposed bond issue
of $4,000 limited the amount to be
expended on the building, but such is
not the case, and the council has the
power to appropriate any additional
sum which may be considered neces.
sary- While nobody, except possibly
the contractors who get the job of
building it, would favor any extrava-
CANT outlay above the bond issue on
a new city hall, still, if the expendi.
ture of a few thousand dollars addi-
tional is going to make the difference
between makeshift and a building
which will be a credit to the city it is
not likely that the taxpayers would
seriously object to the outlay. In all
probability the new city hall will be
in use good many years and it should
be a building in which the people of
The city can take pride. 1t can be
made so without the expenditure of
more than reasonable amount of the
public funds and it is up to every sim
gle alderman in the council to make
it his personal business to see to it
that the city gets full value for every
dollar expended and that every tran
saction in connection with the erection
Of the building is open and above
board and one that will bear the full
est investigation.

AS is generally the case the people
of South Exchange street are badly
divided over the question of street
railway on their street and it remains
to be seen whether or not the petitions
circulated asking the city council to
give the railway company the right to
lay track there will receive the sig
nature of the majority of the proper
ty owners. Probably the traction ex-
perts can give good reasons for the
course taken by the company in re-
gard to this street originally, but it
has always been a mystery to most of
the people of the city why the com
pany did not avail itself of its fran
chise rights on that street when it had
them and put down track there when
the road was first built.

PUTS ONE OVER ON FRIENDS

Peter Larsen put one over some of
his friends on Wednesday morning.
Just after midnight he declared that
he could get co Racine before a. M.
and the friends knowing that the last
car had gone to Racine offered to make
a good sized wager on the proposition
Larsen started and walked a part Of
the way and then caught car which
had been delayed He made the trip
in an hour and five minutes and won
his bet easily.

WEBSTER FIGHT OFF
Conley and Webster Fail to
Agree AS to the Number of
Rounds-No Fight
CONLEY TO FIGHT STANLEY

frankie Conley, the Kenosha ban.
tamweight champion, who left here
week ago to go to Los Angeles where
he was booked to meet Danny Web
ster in a forty-fve round fight on April
Both, has been given the doubled cross
by the coast managers and the fight
was officially declared off on Thursday
night. The two men met Thursday
evening to sign articles for the fight
but the manager for Webster insisted
that the fight go no more than twenty
FIVE rounds. Conley had originally
agreed to meet Webster in forty
five round battle and he insisted on
the "Marathon distance or nothing
and claimed the forfeit that had been
put up by Webster's manager to bind
the fight. The action of Webster q
manager left Conley no chance to come
back and he is now without a fight for
this month at least. Digger"
Stanley, the English bantamweight
champion is now on the coast and it
is thought that he will be put on in
place of Webster and arrangements
may be made for Coniey to meet Stan
ley on the same date that he was
booked to meet Webster. Johnny
Coulon is still anxious to meet Conley
but he does not want more than
twenty-five round fight. Conley is
best over the long route and for this
reason his manager has insisted that
he be booked for forty-fve round fights
in the future. The coast fans are de.
cidedly sore on the deal Webster gave
Conley and his actions in the fight
will lose him what little prestige he
retained after the walloping given him
by Conley at Portland just before the
fight between Conley and Monte AT.

and joins the general chorus with his
warning to householders Of the in
creased danger of spontaneous combus-
ton in hot weather and his advice to

ficers with their warnings against bad
sanitary conditions, the fire marshal
can show by his reports on fires ap-

of the state in dollars and cents to

In common with every one else in
terested in the progress and standing
of the public schools, we are in sym
pathy with the declaration of the new
president of the board of education
that the work of the board should be
carried on on strictly non-partisan
basis and that all partisan considera-
tions of whatever nature shall be
eliminated from the board. Nowhere
on earth are petty partisan politics
with all the attendant evils more out
of place than on a board Of educa-
ton. The welfare of the schools
should be the only consideration, first,
last, and all the time and that is i'm
possible when politics can influence
any Of the members in any way.
