Legislative Committee De-
cides that Employers Must
Stand Cost of Insurance
BILLS TO Be RE-DRAFTED

At meeting of the special legisla-
tive committee on industrial insurance
held at Madison on Wednesday it was
decided to redraft the tentative bills
published by the committee on May %
and incorporate some suggestions re-
ceived since that date.
The committee decided to have the
employers bear the full cost of the in
surance without contributing from the
employees, and to require the employees
to elect at the time of hiring or the
time the act goes into effect whether to
come under it or to stand on their com
mon law rights of recovery.
The committee will not combine the
general bill creating the new system of
insurance with that limiting the de-
lenses for injuries 10 employees. After
the TWO bills have been redrafted, which
will be about two weeks, they will be
Submitted to experts in the country and
England for further suggestions for inn
provement. Another and final redraft
will probably be made after these latter
suggestions have been received, and the
bills will then be reported to the legis-
Iature.
The draft of the bill providing for
the collection of statistics on industrial
accidents will not be materially chang
ed.
The members of the committee who
attended the meeting were Senators
Sanborn and Blaine and Assemblymen
ingalls, and Egan, A. T. Van Scoy and
Max Babb of Milwaukee represented
the Milwaukee Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association and Assembly
man Brockhausen and Michael LAWN.
the Wisconsin Federation of Labor.

We can imagine nothing more hor-
ribe than a fire in an insane asylum
and the knowledge that the trustees of
the Racine county asylum where all
the patients from this county are kept
have installed the most modern fire
fighting apparatus all through the
building must be great comfort to
the relatives and friends of the unfort-
unates confined there.
They will sleep easier nights now.
The knowledge that the Racine trus-
tees have expended thousands Of dol
lars to insure the safety Of the inmates
Of the asylum will 90 a long ways to
restore public confidence in the man
Qgement of this institution which it
must be admitted was somewhat shak-
en- by the recent demands for an in
vestigation or rather the fool way in
which the matter was handled after
the fact that there had been such de-
mands made had leaked out. 1t made
little difference that it was finally Civ
en- out that the charges were unworthy
of serious consideration, the secrecy
with which the Racine county officials
endeavored to carry on the investiga-
tion, had an extremely bad effect not
only ON the friends and relatives of the
Kenosba county inmates but upon the
board of supervisors of this county.
The installation Of this fire protection
regardless Of Scost shows that the trus-
tees are more mindful of the safety of
their charges than Of the profit to be
derived from their keep.

MORE RAIN NEEDED
Showers Give Only Temporary Relief
and Vegetation is Drying Up.

The government s weekly weather
bulletin on Wednesday says:
Local rains occurred in many sec
tions, and there was too much cloudy,
wet weather over the southern drainage
basin of the Ohio, interfering with the
usual farm work and causing injury
from washing, flooding and otherwise.
In the northern portions of the corn
belt there is still general lack of rain
fall and vegetation is suffering.
9 In the spring wheat belt there were
light local showers over most districts.
and the change to cooler and partly
cloudy weather gave some relief from
the advance conditions that have pre-
vailed for so long in those states. The
light showers that occurred during the
week afforded temporary relief only,
however, and heavy, soaking rains are
still badly needed.
DRY weather continues over the
western portions of the great plains
region, and as result the great ranges
are dry and vegetation scant.
"From the Rocky mountains west
ward the weather has continued dry,
and much injury has resulted to the
dry farming interests. In the irrri-
gated districts the water supply has
held out better than expected, but the
streams are now falling rapidly and
rain is needed to augment the stream
fow.'

STAMP FOR POSTAL BANK
Government to Keep Close Tab On Cost
of Operation of Postal Banks.

A new postage stamp has been or
dered printed. It will be used by post
masters in connection with postal saw
ings banks. Instead of using the ordi-
nary franked or penalty envelope for
official postal savings bank mail, spe-
cial stamps will be issued, enabling the
postal authorities to accurately record
the expense of transmitting postal saw
wings bank mail. It is the purpose of
the law that the postal savings banks
should be self-supporting, pay interest
to depositors, all clerk hire and mail
transportation.
Until the postal savings bank sys-
tenn has been installed the new stamps
will be used only on the official mail
of the board of trustees. The stamp
will be about the size of the present 2
cent stamp, will be printed in dark
color, and will bear the inscription GU.
S. Postal Savings, Official Mail, 2
Cents. - The first issue will be 100000.

Is AFTER DELMoUENTs

Secretary of State Frear has pre-
pared and is sending out notices for
publication of delinquent corporations
and posting notices thereof in the Of
fees of registers of deeds In the coun-
ties where such delinquents have their
residence.
Out of the 10000 corporations in the
state there are some 400 delinquents,
that is, have failed to file with the
secretary of state the required annual
report on March /. The failure to
make the report incurs a penalty of
SO. and now after the publication will
be added the cost Of such publication
which is ordinarily $3.50. IF the pen
atty and costs are not paid by Jan
uary / the charter is forfeited and can
only be reinstated by the fling &C the
required affidavit and the payment Of

Simmons library will be found in an
other column of this issue of the News.
The directors Of the library and the
Librarians would like nothing better
than to have every citizen of Kenosha
make careful study Of this report for
it shows two things very clearly. First
that the directors and librarians have
kept the library thoroughly up to date
in every particular and made use of
the most advanced ideas in library
management and second, something
that is more gratifying to these Of
fcials than the consciousness that they
have done their best, that the people
of the city are making increased use
Of the privileges afforded them. This
report is like all its predecessors in
that it shows record Of steady pro-

BEYERsDoRFER CLOSES UP
Well Known Park Street Market Man
Suspends Business Wednesday.

Considerable surprise was expressed
in Kenosha business circles when it be
came known Wednesday that Otto
Beyersdorfer the well known Park
street market man had suspended bust
ness. This action was entirely volun-
tary on the part of Mr.. Beyersdorfer
and was taken to protect the interest
of all creditors equally. Up to a late
hour this afternoon there had. been no
attachments filed against the fixtures
of the market and no petition in bank
ruptcy is contemplated.
I. T. johnson of Morris and Co., the
Chicago packing firm which is under
stood to be the largest creditor was
in the city Wednesday arranging for
the disposal of the effects of the mar
Ket for the benefit of all of the creditors.
All of the stock ON hand of the market
was taken over by the T. J. Stahl mar
ket on Main street.
1t is stated that the liabilities of the
firm amount to about $1,000 secured
and unsecured with assets of about
the same amount. Tt is believed that
if there are no expensive bankruptcy
proceedings the creditors will be paid
very nearly dollar for dollar for their
claims. 1t is understood that an over
extension of credits was the principal
cause of the present financial troubles
of the market and that most of the
book accounts are good.
