SCHULZ IS NAME
Milwaukee Druggist is APP
pointed Collector of Gus
toms for the District



G. Edward Schulz, of Milwaukee,
nominated for the place by Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, was Tuesday
appointed collector of customs for the
port Of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee
district including Kenosha He sue
ceeds William H. Devos. The nomi-
nation has been held up by the Presi-
dent for fifteen months.
The nomination was sent to the SEN
ate by President Taft and it is expect
ed confirmation will follow in a few
days. The only obstacle possible would
be objection from Senator Stephenson,
and this is not expected.
In appointing Mr.. Schulz collector of
customs in Milwaukee, President Taft
has receded from position on the APP
pointment question that he assumed in
the heat of the conservative progress
sive warfare several months ago. At
that time it was announced the presi-
dent would approve no recommends
tions for Office made by pronounced in
surgents. Under this reported deter
mination President Taft held up the
Schulz appointment which came from
Senator La Toilette. It was under
stood that neither Schulz nor McElroy
the latter for United States district
attorney for the eastern district Of Wis
consin-both recommended for Office
by Senator La Follette-would be ap-
pointed. And it seemed as if Presi-
dent Taft was adhering to this alleg.
ed determination.
The nomination Of Mr.. Schulz to be
collector of customs to succeed Mr..
Devos was sent to the White house the
second week in September, 1909, and
there it has reposed without pfesiden-
tial recommendation until this time.
The strained relations between the
White house and Senator La Toilette
led to the accepted conclusion that the
Schulz appointment might never reach
the senate. That four months ago
President Taft was bitterly opposed to
fayoring any recommendations by Sen
ator La Toilette became well known,
not only in Washington, but among
Wisconsin politicians.
About election time however,
change in policy was announced from
the White house--if not by President
Taft himself, then by those close to
him. It was that, with view to har-
mony in the republican party, the
president would accept all republicans
insurgents as well as conservatives
-as party membera in good standing.
This meant, it was said, that recon-
mendations for appointments to Office
made by insurgents, as well as those
made by conservatives, would be ac-
eepted- providing the man named was
not Objectionable.

MRS. VAN WICK TELLS OF WORK !.
Constitution and Bylaws are Adopted
and Organization is Ready to Begin
Active Work-To Enlarge Board of
Directors to Twenty one


A general meeting of the represen-
tatives of societies interested In organ
lied charitable work was held at the
court house on Tuesday evening and
the work of organization was formally
completed by the adoption OF constl-
tuition and bylaws. Nearly every
church and secular organization in the
city was represented at the meeting
and the new organization is starting
out with the active support Of great
number of these organizations.
Rev. Il. 7. Farrill, the president,
opened the session with brief explain
alton Of the meaning Of the letter sent
out calling the conference and a short
statement of the proceedings of five
meetings in the past six weeks, look
ing towards the formation Of the AS
sociated Charities Of Kenosha. He call
ed upon the secretary to read the con-
Btitution and bylaws based upon those
in use in the city of Milwaukee, and
stated that the papers were in the
hands of the proper authorities, and the
Associated Charities of Kenosha would
soon be incorporated.
The president introduced Mrs. Kath-
crime l.. Van Wyck, secretary of Mil
waukee s Associated Charities. Mrs.
Van Wyck has had long experience
in this work even before she entered it
officially. The address was listened to
with the closest attention and brought
to each one present the clearest pos
sible explanation of the spirit of the
work contemplated, the scope and re-
suits. When the speaker had finished
her talk and had answered the score
of questions asked, everybody was con-
WINGED of the absolute need of the
organization just brought into exist
ence, whose constitution and bylaws
they had just ratified.
At the close of the meeting gifts OF
money and of food and clothing were
offered. Every one seemed enthusiast
tic that the right thing was being done
at the right time. The annual meeting
will be held on the second Thursday in
January when the board of directors
will be increased to twenty-one with
working or executive committee of
five.
The movement now is the result of
some two years of study, investigation
and agitation on the part of one or two
of those leading off in this enterprise.
The Associated Charities of Kenosha
does not plan to interfere with any
charitable work now being done; it
will not trespass any where; it is the
ruler of none, but the servant of all,
and will surely prove blessing to the
entire city. AS Mrs. Van Wyck said:
"You will find this one of the most
important and far reaching moves this
city mas made in a long time. I"

IS STILL A MYSTERY
Chicago Police Officers Fail
to Find Man Who Killed J
Nathan B. Hyde
HAD PLANNED TO COME HERE

Chicago police officers are making
strenuous efforts to find some clew to
the identity of the murderer of Nathan
B. Hyde, the former Kenosha attorney
who was found murdered in his lodging
house On Aberdeen street there on
Monday night. Nothing has been found
to show the motive for the crime and if
Hyde was robbed the police have not
been able to find any one who is able
to tell what is missing from the apart
ments of the dead lawyer. On the
table in the dead lawyers quarters was
found half finished letter in which he
is supposed to have been writing to
some theatre manager. The letter was
only partially completed and it is
thought possible that the old man was
writing the letter for one of the board
ers at the time he was felled by the
crow bar. 1t is. just possible that he
was writing the letter for the man who
killed him. Emil Matthias, a Mexican,
the man sought by the police as the
murderer of Hyde was supposed to be
the man referred to in the letter and he
is strangely missing. He had been liv-
ing at the lodging house for only a
few days and this fact was shown by a
frayed out diary found in Hyde's room.
District Attorney Robert Verne Bak-
er was the last Kenosha man to see
Hyde alive. Only short time ago the
District Attorney went to Chicago and
hunted Hyde up in his squalid quarters
to secure some information in regard
to deal which took place in Kenosha
many years ago. Hyde was in feeble
health but when the District Attorney
introduced himself he talked interest
ingly of the old days in Kenosha and
declared that he would be willing to
come to Kenosha and appear as wit
ness in the case in which Baker was in
terested. Baker did not find it neces-
sary to call Hyde as witness and it is
rather unusual that the same day on
which the case in question was decided
Hyde was found killed in his lodging
house. The former Kenosha. attorney
had opened the lodging house at the
time of the World s Fair and had been
in charge of it ever since. People who
were close friends of the dead man
claim that he leaves no great estate as
has been intimated but that his wealth
was expended years ago and that the
money he. had was the receipts of the
lodging house in Chicago.

LIABLE TO IMPRISONMENT.
Certificates for Marriages Outside of
State Must be Filed at Court House.

1t is estimated that during the year
1910 twenty Kenosha couples have HE'D
themselves to Waukegan. H., and been
married there. But how many of them
have violated the law and are subject
to arrest and punishment? Possibly not
one of the lovers knew anything about
the law pertaining to marriages of this
kind and never gave the matter a
thought. These lovers who get mar
ried outside the state, return to Wis
consin to reside land keep their mar
rage secret for more than ten days,
are liable under the law.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newlywed who wish to
keep their friends in ignorance of the
event not only are taking chances of
having to spend from thirty to sixty
days in the nearest county Jail, but are
liable to lose from $40 to 5000 which
might come in handy to furnish a
house. This is the penalty for violat-
oAly pau VI p6CL1Ou lUGH Ol JQo
statutes. If the judge sees fit he can
impose both the money fine and jail
sentence.
The section in question reads:
"When parties living in this state
shall go out of it to be married and
shall return to it to reside they shall
obtain from the county clerk of the
county in which either of them reside
prior to their marriage a blank certi-
ficate of marriage which they shall
cause to be properly filled out and filed
with the local register of deeds of the
city, incorporated village or town
wherein they resided ten days after
their return. -

QUESTION OF STATE CHARTER
Council Has Not Adopted Portions of
the General Charter Law and City
May be Forced to Furnish Funds for
Schools.

Chairman Harbaugh of the Council
committee on Finance has sent out a
call for joint meeting of the finance
committee of the council and the board
of education with view of finding
some way to adjust the differences be-
tween the council and the board of
education and it is expected that at
this meeting a plan will be worked
out by which the city will see its way
clear to raise funds for the erection
of the addition to the Frank school.
The City Attorney has been looking
into the matter of the demand of the
school board and he is not as yet fully
convinced that the board could force
the city council to make the appropria-
ton demanded. The board Of educa-
tion on the other hand has no inten-
ton of withdrawing its demand for
the rebuilding of the school and if
necessary it is certain that the board
will go into court to secure money
from the city for the completion of the
proposed work. Neither the council
nor the board however is looking for a
fight in the courts and it is hoped
that the two committees will be able
to reach some amicable adjustment.
The plan for the elimination of kim
dergartens suggested at recent meet
ing of the council is not taken as SER
ious by the members Of the board as it
seems certain that the provisions of
the state law are such nat it would
be impossible to cut off these rooms
The question of law at issue between
the board and the council hinges large
ly on the adoption of portions Of the
general charter law of Wisconsin by
the Kenosha council. Some portions
of this law have been adopted but the
ordinance adopting these portions of
the law does not show that the por-
tion in regard to schools and school
boards was adopted. This portion Of
The general charter law would give the
council the right to cut appropriations
demanded by the school board to an
amount approved by the council but
under the old city charter the council
must levy for the school board the
amount named in the annual estimate
which is presented to the council on
the first of October. If the council is
still working under the provisions of
the charter and not under the general
charter law of the state the board can
go into court and secure writ Of
mandamus to force the council to give
the money asked for in order to com
plete the changes in the building.
It is probable that before another
year the council. will take steps to
adopt other portions of the general
charter law in order to give the council
a more rigid control over the school
board but before the portion of the
charter law can be adopted the ques-
ton must be submitted to the people
through referendum vote.
1t is probable that when the two
committees get together that they will
find way out of the difficulties. The
report of the joint committee is ex-
pected to be presented at the next
meeting Of the common council.

WILL ENTERTAIN STATE CAMP
Plans are Made to Send Forester Team
to Buffalo Session of the Head Camp
New Officers Chosen for Year and
Plans for Advancement Made.

The Modern Woodmen of Kenosha
had one of the greatest gatherings IN
the history of the camp on Tuesday ev-
ening when they met for the annual
election of officers. The meeting was
made memorable one on account of
the fact that A. II. Simons who has
served the camp in the capacity Of
Clerk for the past seven years resign
ed and the election Of new Clerk
brought out one Of the largest crowds
ever attending a meeting of the order
in the city. Bert Fowler the popular
leader of the Forester team was elect
ed to succeed Simons after a memoir
able contest with four other candi-
dates. All other interest in the elec-
ton was eclipsed by the struggle for
the election of a new Clerk. Fowler
was the candidate of the Forester team
and with this impetus he was named
for the office with a vote nearly double
that received by any of the other can
didates. Charles Sleight who for the
past eight years had served the camp
in the position of Advisory Consul was
elected as Consul to succeed Judge
Clifford E. Randall who declined to ac-
cept a fourth election to the office on
account of the. duties of his office of
municipal Judge making it impossible
for him to give his time to the work.
Retiring Consul Randall was toasted
during the evening for under his re-
gime the camp has had. the greatest
growth in its history.
At the close of the election Retiring
Clerk Simons was given very pleas
ant surprise when he was presented
with handsome gold watch as token
of the high esteem in which he was,
held by the members of the camp. The
presentation came as a complete sur
prise to Mr.. Simons and he was I'M
able to respond to the presentation
speech until after the FOresters had
given a drill when he regained his
composure and thanked the members
of the camp for the many fayors they
had shown him. Then came another
surprise when Captain Fowler of the
Forester team presented him with a
handsome Woodmen ring as a token Of
the appreciation Of his work for the
team.
At the meeting it was announced
that the Kenosha camp would enter
tain the State camp in May of next
year and plans for the entertainment
will be arranged at once. The Ken
osha Forester team will go to Buffalo
to contest for honors at the competi-
tive drills to be held in connection
with the meeting Of the head camp
and it was announced that fund had
been completed to provide new uniforms
for the team. Since the meeting of
the last head camp the Kenosha team
has been advanced to the senior divis-
ion and it will meet in contest the
teams of the largest camps in the coun-
try at the coming Buffalo meeting. The
following is the full list of officers
elected for the new year and they will
be installed at joint installation with
the Royal Neighbors early in January.
Consul, Charles Sleight; Advisory
Consul, Torger Mithen; Banker, Charles
G.. Theleen; Clerk, Bert Fowler; Es-
cort, John Lehman; Waterman, Sam
uel Sykes; Sentry, John Piehl; Trus-
tees, Dwight House and Clifford E.
Randall.
