FOUR SUPERVISORS VOTE mo-
Board However Will Go Ahead and Do
the Work as Suggested by the State
Board of Control at a Cost Not to
Exceed $1,000


The county board in special SEES
sion today settled the question of the
county Jail and by a vote Of ten to
four passed a resolution providing for
the repair of the Jail in keeping with
the suggestions made by the board of
control of the state. It looks as If
the matter will stay settled but there
is still the possibility that some of the
members Of the board will kick over
the traces and demand the resembling
Of the action and possibly calling of
another session of the board. The
resolution passed by the board this
morning provided that the work of re-
pairing the jail should be done under
the guidance of County Agent Jones
and the expenditure is not to be more
than a thousand dollars. This action
was taken on the motion Of Supervisor
John T. Yule and Supervisors Shuart,
Powell, Moran and Elverman voted
against it. Later in the session the
board voted to reject all bids that had
been received for the proposed rebuild
ing and the certified checks were ord
cred returned to the unsuccessful bid
ders. An effort was made to have the
work Of making the repairs as sug-
gested by the state board placed in
the hands of a committee, but this was
voted down and the majority of the
members of the board decided to leave
it with the county agent.
The suggestions of the board of CON
troll which were presented to the
board in the shape of a formal letter
were the same as given out earlier in
the week. The estimate made by the
board OF the cost Of the proposed
changes was thousand dollars, just
the amount allowed by the county
board for the work. It is just pos
sible that this sum will not be suf-
fcient to make all the changes demand
ed but if this is found to be the fact
it is expected that some Of the minor
details suggested by the state board
will be eliminated from the repair
plans.
The board adjourned just before
noon until this afternoon at which
time the question of the dividing Of
the money set aside by the board as
a Jail fund between the two banks in
the city was taken up. It is expected
that this matter will be referred to a
special committee for adjustment.
The sessions Of the board this year
have consumed more time than in any
year preceding and today the board
having drawn pay for the full time al
lowed by the law was forced to give
it's services to the county without pay.

HAD A JOLLY TIME
Many People Attend Celebration OF
Washington Birthday Tuesday

A good sized crowd enjoyed the pro-
gram at the Y. M. G. A. building last
night in spite of the many other en-
tertainments about the city.
Early in the evening several con-
tests were held, including billiards,
pool, bowling and shuttle board. While
these proved to be of considerable in
terest the gymnasium games were the
greatest attraction. The program in
the gym included basket ball, pick-a-
back races, wheel-barrow races, long
ball, and wrestling. The contestants
were all local association members, but
they certainly kept things interesting
every minute. The feature of the
sports was the exhibition wrestling
match between Physical Director Fog
well and Herman Pierson, a promising
young athlete. The bout lasted ten
minutes and resulted in draw.
Attorney A. L. Drury gave brief
address in which he made clear that
the exercise of the right of franchise
was test of patriotism which is often
| ignored He lamented the fact that
so many men who claim to be good
American citizens apparently forget
that Washington led the colonies
through great struggle that each man
of us might have part in the govern
ment. The speaker declared that the
man who neglects to vote to the best
of his knowledge is no true patriot
regardless of what he does the remain
ing three hundred and sixty-four days
of the year.
Harry T. Morgan sang several songs,
and splendid orchestra of nine well
known musicians entertained the crowd
royalty throughout the evening.

City Clerk George W. Harrington
has announced that March 7th will be
the last day for candidates seeking
Office at the coming city election to
file their petitions for nomination. At
the present time the list of nomina-

primary. The petitions Of all the
candidates now in the field for mayor
are ready for filing and it is expected
that the names of the their supporters
will be made public within the next
two weeks. Committees OF both of the
old parties are making strenuous eff

COLD WEATHER KILLS
John Bordros Found Frozen to Death
South of Racine

John Bordros, Chicago man. %
years of age, was found frozen to
death just outside the home of his
brother in Racine at an early hour
this morning. Bordros came to visit
his brother who lives south of Racine
two weeks ago and expected to get
work and make his home in that city.
He wandered away from his home and
friends Sunday evening presumably
while under the influence of liquor and
nothing had been seen of him by any
of the members of his brothers family
since that time. The body was found
close to the house and it is supposed
that Bordros started to make his way
home and was overcome by the intense
cold.

JUDGE BELDEN IS AFFIRMED
Court Holds That There Was no
Technically in Bradley Trial Which
Entitled Him to a Rehearing of
the Case.

John Bradley, convicted of the muir
der of Clifford l.. Smith in the circuit
court of Kenosha county at the last
March term of that court and sentenc
ed to prison for life by Judge Belden
after the jury had recommended the
mercy of the court, must serve his life
sentence as the supreme court of the
state on Tuesday handed down deci
sion affirming the decision of the low
er court and declining to order re-
hearing of the Bradley case.
The decision of the court came as a
great disappointment to Bradley who
had waited in prison all day Tuesday
hopeful that before the day was over
he would receive the order to prepare
to return to Kenosha for new trial.
The decision also came as hard blow
to Calvin Stewart, the attorney for
Bradley, who had been convinced that
the supreme court would reverse the
decision of the lower court and set
ting aside the verdict of the jury grant
Bradley new trial.
| The argument for the new trial for
Bradley was heard early in this month
and it, is evident from the early deci-
sion in the case that the court did not
consider the objection of Bradley to
Il
strong one. There is only one course
open to the friends of Bradley and that
| is an appeal to the United States SUI
preme court and it is very unlikely
that such an appeal will be taken.
The relatives Of Bradley have been
willing to furnish plenty of money for
the appeal of the case to the Wisconsin
court but the decision of this court
was rendered in such short time that
it is hardly thought possible that any
thing could be gained by taking the
case to the highest tribunal in The
land
|
with the facts in the Bradley case.
The appeal to the supreme court was
based on the fact that the court failed
to instruct the jury that they could
find Bradley guilty on one of the lesser
degrees of manslaughter and for the
further fact that it was the unanimous
expression of the jury that Bradley
should not pay the extreme penalty
imposed by the law. At the time of
the trial District Attorney Baker in
sisted that Bradley was guilty of MUIR
der or else should be acquitted and he
fought out the case on this line. He
| took the same course in the case of
the State VS.. Herman hasten and in
this case, while the jury almost to a
man declared that Hasten might have
been convicted on a minor charge, the
evidence did not warrant the convic-
tion on charge of murder in the
first degree.
Attorneys Baker and Stewart viii
60 to Madison this evening and to-
morrow will appear before the supreme
court to argue the appeal Of the case
Of the State VS.. Charles Loescher. The
defendant is now serving ten year
sentence at the state prison. District
Attorney Baker feels convinced that
the decision in the Loeseher case will
be the same as in the Bradley case and
that the supreme court viii insist on
both men serving their full terms.
