A GREAT TIME IS PROMISED
Kenosha Being Spoken of as the Place
for the Holding of the Next State
Meeting of the Order in 1911-May
Extend Invitation.

Kenosha Lodge No. $50 of the Bene-
VIOLENT and Protective Order of Elks
is planning to send large delegation
to Menasha to attend the annual state
meeting of the order to be held on
June z and and as in former years
it is expected that the delegation of
the Kenosha lodge will be one of the
largest in attendance at the state meet
ing. Many of the members of the
lodge are planning to make the trip by
automobile and it is expected that Ra-
cine, Kenosha and Milwaukee will join
in a great automobile procession to
Neenah-Menasha on the days set for
the state meeting.
There is lot of talk Of holding the
state meeting in 1911 in Kenosha, but
the local lodge has not as yet taken
any steps to send a formal invitation
to the state organization and the mat
ter will be left largely in the hands
of the fifteen delegates who will repre-
sent the Kenosha lodge on the floor
of the state lodge meeting. The Ke-
nosha Elks have never entertained a
state gathering Notwithstanding the
fact that the Kenosha loge has been
one of the most active in the state or
ganization.
Mayor Horlick of Racine who is the
president of the state organization is
sending out a letter to all the lodges in
the state urging that they unite to
make the meeting in Menasha the great
est gathering of Elks ever held in Wis
consin.
The Menasha lodge which has as mem
bers prominent men of Menasha and
Neenah, expect to have the most sue
cessful convention ever held by the
state association The convention will
be called to order Tuesday morning,
June Z, in the lodge rooms. Much en-
tertainment is planned for the visitors.
There will be boat rides and automo-
bile rides, large number of motor
boats and automobiles having been
placed at the disposal of the Menasha
lodge during the convention. There
is to be carnival on the river which
separates Neenah and Menasha. On
Tuesday evening there will be a ban
que5 at Brighton Beach hotel for the
visiting Elks. On Wednesday after
noon the parade of Elks will be held
and in the evening there will be a
grand ball at the Cook armory.
The entire program has not been ar
ranged, but it is safe to say now that
Elks who visit Menasha and Neenah
June z and will have one of the
grandest times of their lives.

FIND ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Inquest Brings Out New Fact in Re-
gard to Fatal Accident Monday

The inquest over the bodies of Geo.
Kuesta and Victor Nadolsky, killed on
the tracks of TIE Chicago &c Northwest
err railway just north &. Middle street
was held at the municipal court We'd
nesday night and the jury returned a
verdict of accidental death. The
crews of both trains were present to
give testimony at the inquest, but the
engineer of the train which hit the
men declared that he did not see them
until it was too late to stop the train.
Other witnesses declared that there
was no signal from the train coming
up from the south, but the members of
the crew declared that the bell had
been kept ringing all the time and that
the men seemingly stepped directly in
front of the engine.

SAFE AFTER TWO YEARS
Deserters From Army May Get Legal
Release After That Time

Fifty dollars reward for the cap
ture and arrest
This is the caption that often APP
pears on notices sent to the local po-
lice station when men desert from the
army at Fort Sheridan or even
at remote posts thousands of miles
away.
The one-sided game of the military
officers and the civilian officers against
the deserter, which always sooner or
later goes against the deserter, which
many times results in his repeated ar
rest, has now been modified and if a
deserter can keep on the move for two
years, by ruling just made in April,
he can obtain deserters release from
the army, which in effect is a glaran-
tee against further arrest, but which
is not a paper to be treasured for 9TH
er advantages
The orders read in part as follows:
"No person shall be tried or pun
ised by a court-martial for desertion
in time of peace and not in the face
of an enemy, committed more than
two years before the arraignment of
such person for such offense, unless he
shall meanwhile have absented him
self from the United States, in which
case the time of his absence shall be
excluded in computing the period of
the limitation: Provided, that said linn
itation shall not begin until the end
of the term for which said person was
mustered into the service (Act of
April IL, 1890; 26 Stat. at Large, "a. J"
70 each deserter whose case falls
under the provisions of the act of con-
gress referred to above, there will be
issued by the adjutant general of the
army, upon application being made
therefor, a paper designated as a "De-
serter's Release"
Any application for "Deserter s
Release" should be accompanied with
an affidavit Of the deserter, setting
forth the name under which he rem
dered service, the designation of the
organization in which he served, the
date and place of his desertion and his
whereabouts in detail since the date
of his desertion.

SHOW GAIN
Annual Report Shows a Gain
of ~ Per Cent. in the
Year Just Closed
PASS WORD CAUSES TROUBLE

Report of the supreme keeper of
records and seal, knights of Pythias,
shows that the gain in membership in
the supreme domain for 1909, was
5000, which is the smallest net gain
in many years.
Out of Sc grand domains 10 show a
loss of membership. The domain of
Pennsylvania comes in with the great
est loss, showing decrease in member
ship of 1902, while Illinois comes next
with loss Of 858.
The greatest gain was made in
Massachusetts, which shows net in
crease of 1920, while Michigan is
second with a net gain Of S44. The
loss Of membership in Illinois was
distributed as follows: Cook County,
354; outside of Cook, 504. The sus-
pensions in the supreme domain ex-
ceeded the initiation during the year
by 145.

of the semi-annual password has been
the cause of great number of sus-
pensions by causing the membership
to become careless in the payment of
dues. This is considered matter Of
grave Importance and probably will be
taken up and considered by the COM
ing supreme lodge session at Milwau
kee.
The report shows total number of
members in the supreme domain to be
706,501, and the total number of lodges
to be 1856. The total membership
in Illinois is shown as 55,876, and the
total number of lodges as SGT. This
is a net decrease of nine lodges in
Illinois during 1909.

The comparison of the assessment Of
Kenosha industries with that of the
neighboring city of Racine is something
for every taxpayer Of Kenosha to pom
der over. There is but one conclu-
siou to be reached from the figures and
that is that owing to the conscientious
effort which has been made in this
county to enforce the full value assess
ment law Kenosha county is paying
more than its fair share of the taxes
as compared to Racine 1t is evident
that no effort has been made to en-
force the law in the neighboring city
OF Racine-the startling differences in
the totals of the two cities shows that
and what is worse there is every rea-
son to believe that no effort will be
made to enforce it. This full value
assessment law is one of the best taxa
ton laws ever put on the statute books
of the state ia very big fit is
carried out all over the state, but when
some of the counties are permitted to
ignore it altogether and profit by such
action it will not be long before all
the counties follow suit.

The biennial cleaning out of the Ke-
nosha harbor is now under way and the
usual report will probably be forward
ed to Washington showing the necessi'
ty of making alterations in the outer
breakwater to prevent the piling up of
the shoals at the harbor mouth by the
northeast seas. There must be quite
an interesting collection of these re-
ports tucked away in some pigeon hole
at Washington for every government
engineer who has made an examination
Of the conditions at this port has sent
one in.

The people who are continually writ
ing to the papers demanding more
stringent laws for the regulation of the
speed of automobiles and motor cycles
are evidently under the impression that
there are no laws ON the statute books
to cover the cases of reckless speed
ing which have come under their OBJ
servation, but such is not the case. The
trouble is not with the laws, but with
the way they are enforced or rather
with the lack of enforcement. The ordi-
nances of the city and the laws of the
state are broad enough and carry pen
alties severe enough to stop all reck-
less driving if they are properly APP
piled, but no law which may be passed
will have any more effect then those
now on the statute books if there is
the same lack of effort to enforce it
displayed by the authorities. When
public feeling gets strong enough to
demand the enforcement of the speed
laws to the limit instead of merely
nomlnally as at present it will be
found that it is entirely possible to
check the scorching without passing
any more laws.

Save Something Anyway

The house of representatives will be
through with the railroad bill this
week The next important measure to
be considered by it should be the es-
Enlistment of postal savings banks.
The bill which the senate passed on
the 9Th Of March has been ever since
in the possession Of the house commit
tee on postofices. It's members have
been unable to agree upon a report and
it is time for the house to take the mat
ter into its own hands.
The senate bill is a good one. 1t
was thoroughly considered and was
passed by vote of more than two to
one The best thing the house could
do would be to take it as it stands
It's passage would be a reasonably
prompt redemption of one clear cut
positive platform pledge. Unhappily
the house has some open enemies of
any postal savings legislation, and some
oCCICJ CuGHI6S WIN WOulu linz W MIL
or cripple the pending bill by amend
ments whose pretended purpose would
be to strengthen it.
If it shall be found impossible to get
the bill through without amendments
that would do no more than limit it's
scope it would be better to accept them
than to jeopardize the measure. If
there shall be effective opposition to
making every postoffice in the country
a postal depositary, then consent to a
limitation On the number. If only
10000 or 10000 postmasters were allow
ed to- receive savings deposits the num-
Der Of depositors would be so great and
the volume of deposits so considerable
that the wisdom of the new legislation
would be demonstrated at once Then
nobody would be bold enough to lift
his voice against an extension of the
system that would take in the smallest
and remotest postofice
The friends of the measure should
not permit it to fail. They should not
allow it to be pushed over to the next
session,-Tribune.

The plan Of the Kenosha Playground
Association, to arrange for Fairgrounds
in many parts of the city is good
one and the officers of the association
have right to@ expect that the people
of the city will give them every assis-
lance in carrying it out. The equip
ment of these smaller play grounds
which it is proposed to establish neces-
sarily cannot be as elaborate as the
association could provide if it concen-
trated its efforts and spent all of the
money at its disposal on fitting out one
or two grounds, but the association is
aiming at the greatest good for the
greatest number and the greatest num-
Der of the children can be reached
and benefited by establishing the
smaller grounds in widely separated
sections of the city. The playground
last year was largely in the nature
of an experiment and although the eff
forts of the officers of the association
were not supported as they should have
been by the city authorities and much
of the equipment was broken up or
damaged by hoodlums it demonstrated
its value to the children of the city
so clearly that the association has been
fairly swamped by the demands for
the establishment of similar grounds
all over the city. As for the eauip-
ment needed it will be Forthcoming.
1t has never been the custom in this
city to permit any work for the com
mon good to stop for lack of funds
and any appeal on behalf Of children
invariably loosens the tightest purse
strings. The association has sufficient
money to make a start on all the
grounds its officers believe are needed
and after they once get them started
and can show where they must have
more money they will get it. The
school board should not place any OBJ
stacles in the way of the use of the
school grounds by the association for
the benefit of the association wherever
it is necessary. That is what the
Grounds are fog-the use of the child

The selection of Mrs. Bradford as
superintendent of schools is about as
satisfactory an appointment all around
as has ever been made by the board
Of education. Her standing in the
educational world is a sufficient guar
anty that she is entirely competent to
fulfill the exacting duties of the posi-
ton and that the high standard for
which the public schools Of Kenosha
have always been noted will be main
tanned under her leadership, her old
friends and especially her old pupils
will be delighted with the appoint
ment which brings her back to Keno
sha, and last but by no means Least
she was the unanimous choice of the
board and can enter upon her duties
with the united support of the govern
ing body of the school system behind
her.

CoNLEY FIGHT OFF
Moore Decided That He Does Not Want
Any of the Champions Game

The fight between frankie Conley,
the Kenosha bantamweight champion
and Pal Moore of New York which
was scheduled to come off at Vernon
on the night before memorial day, is
off as Moore has wired from New York
that he is planning to fight Jem Dris-
coll and that for this reason it will
be impossible for him to get to Vernon
for the battle. An effort is being
made to have Danny Websther put in
made to have Danny Webster put in
such a beating by Conley short time
ago that it is hardly thought that he
will be willing to go the forty-fVe
round route against the Kenosha cham
pion. Conley is now in training and
it is pretty certain that the club under
which the fight was to have been held
will provide man for him to meet.

By this time next month the big
Modern Woodman picnic will DC over
and the reputation of this city as a
place to entertain big gatherings will
be established, we hope. This is the
best opportunity the city has ever had
to show its ability to handle big crowds
and unless the city makes an exception
ally good record it will be impossible
to overcome the disadvantages of it's
geographical location and secure the
general gatherings of other large fra
ternal organizations in the future.
The committees of the Woodmen are
doing their part and if their efforts are
properly seconded by the business men
and merchants of the city the dele
gates will be able to refer to the Wood
men picnic when they are after other
gatherings and in competition with
other cities.

A state fire marshal S office with of,
teials charged with the duty of investi-
eating every fire is comparatively
new thing in Wisconsin, but already
the state fire marshal and his deputies
are making their influence felt. For
one thing the instructions on proven
tive measures sent out by the marshal
from time to time carry more weight
With the people that precisely the same
advice volunteered by the insurance
companies because coming from the of
fetal it is disinterested and for another
the rigid investigation which now fol
lows every suspicious fire made by
specialists in that line of detective
work tends to make the business of
burning buildings for profit more dan
gerous for the fire bugs than it has
ever been before in this state,

The growers of small fruits and ber-
ries in this county are decidedly more
optimistic now than they were just af-
ter the big freeze and they are count
ing on about an average return on
their crops this year after all. AS
is usually the case they believe that
the shortage will be much less than at
first estimated and what losses there
may be in production viii be balanced
by higher prices.
