Theoficers and members of the board

| arrangements are made for the CON
Quoting of the work of the organiza-
ton.

ing for saloon purposes and on this
statement the council decided that it
had no power to transfer the license
and it was voted to leave the license
where it was.
The plat of the new subdivision Of
the Kenosha Industrial Association was
accepted by the council and in short
time drawing will be held at which
time the lots purchased by members of
the association will be turned over to
them.
John Scholeya brother Of the Mayor
made a complaint to the council that
he had been injured by a fall on an al
legged defective side walk and the mat
ter was referred to the committee on
claims. The bids for the curbing of
Ashland avenue south of Strong street
were all regarded too high and the
Street Assessment Committee was di-
rected to advertise for new bids. The
paving Of South Exchange street ac-
cording to the report Of the assessment
committee which was adopted by the
council will be laid over until next year
with the understanding that some steps
will have to be taken to build the
trunk sewer by that time.
There was the usual amount of rout-
inc business after which the council
adjourned.

FAILS TO DEVELOP.
No Sensation Brought out in Argument
of Collier Motion Tuesday.

The argument of the motion for a
new trial in the suit of Edward Collier
against the town of Salem came up be-
fore Judge Belden in the circuit court
on Tuesday afternoon but the expected
sensational developments failed to put
in an appearance. No statement was
made Of the stories of jury corruption
which have been going the rounds and
the sensational story was only men
toned in passing. District Attorney
Baker who represented the town OF
Salem based his argument or tie fact
that the jury would have been justi-
fed in timing Collier guilty of con-
tributary negligence. The court took
the motion under advisement.

Judge Tarrant Holds County
Board Has No Right to
Contract ithSheriff
.KENOSHh COUNTY IS AFFECTED

The county board of Kenosha county
may not make contract with Andrew
Stahl the sheriff elect of Kenosha coun-
ty as at Racine on Saturday morning
Judge Warrant D. Tarrant Of Milwau-
kee handed down a decision in which
he declared that county board has
no right to make contract with q
sheriff for the duties demanded of him
as such official The court held that
the contract which the coanty board
of Racine had with D. Elmer Roberts,
former sheriff of that county was
null and void and declared that Rob
erts could collect from the county fees
which the board had declined to pay
on the grounds that they should have
been covered by the contract. The
court held that under the law specific
provisions are made for the payment
of fees to the sheriff of any county and
that this law would make it impossible
for county board to make a contract
with sheriff which would be binding
on him.
According to the ruling Of the coun-
ty the statute provides that sheriff
shall be paid a salary and fees and
that the county board has no right to
60 behind the statute and make a,con-
tract for the services of the official
For many years the contract system
has prevailed in Kenosha county and
it has been satisfactory method of
paying the sheriff for his work.\ It
has also been satisfactory to the board
members on account of the fact that it
has done away with the auditing of
many fees which would come to the
county board under the old system.
The decision of Judge Tarrant would
open the way for controversy in re-
gard to the contracts made with form
er sheriffs but it is not probable that
any of these former officials will open
up the subject and seek to collect fees.
Sheriff Gunter is working under con-
tract with the county board and this
contract will expire the first week in
January Of next year The board mem
bers have as yet taken no steps to
make contract with the incoming
sheriff as this is always one of the
last propositions taken up by the board
at the November session. Sheriff elect
Stahl has been considering the matter
and he may consent to waive all rights
in regard to a contest and make CON
tract with the board in the same man
ner as former sheriffs have done. This
Would furnish the easiest solution of
the matter.

"THE CLIMAX.
At the Rhode Opera House Next Sun
day, Matinee and Night.

Mr.. Joseph Weber who stands spon-
sor for Edward Loeke's charming play,
The Climax dispelled the old adage
"There is nothing new under the the
atrical sun" when he produced this,
his first dramatic effort at Weber s
Theatre, New York. 'sThe Climax
came to the Metropolis unheralded and
without the blaze of trumpets which
usually precedes the initial perform
ance of a theatrical offering. The piece
was seen at first by few and then,
after its unalloyed success had been
proclaimed in the most eulogistic tones
by Gotham S blase dramatic reviewers,
by as many as could crowd into the
somewhat spacious playhouse. "The
Climax is a play out of the ordinary.
1t is acted with simple sincerity. 1t
treats upon subject so entirely new,
that it is bound to establish for itself
wherever the piece is played the same
standing that was accorded it in New
York.
The Climax" will be seen here for
the first time at Rhode Opera House,
next Sunday, matinee and night. Seats

ITALIANS RELEASED.
Kenosha County Officials Decide Not
to Bring Alleged Thieves Back.

The three Italians recently arrested
at Waukegan on fugitive warrants in
which they were charged with being
connected with the. stealing of a horse
belonging to Herman RoIoff in Keno
sha were released in Chicago this morn
ing and no further effort will be made
to bring them to Kenosha. The three
men were released on writs of habeas
corpus and the Kenosha officials made
no effort to prevent their being releas-
ed. The evidence against the men was
decidedly shaky and for this reason
the local officials decided that
there was little use to pile up expense
on the county by making an effort to
get them to Kenosha for trial 1t is
possible that efforts will be made to
take them to some other county for
trial.

SEND RECORD TO P|TTsBURG
Record Shows That Old Kenosha Life
Saver Has Saved Many Lives Dur
ing His Long Connection With the
Life Saving Station.

A formal request for the proper re-
cognition of the work of John Mahan-
ey as a member of the Kenosha Life
Saving Crew was forwarded to f. M.
Wllmot, manager of the Carnegie Hero
Fund Commission at Pittsburg today
and Mr. Wilmot in letters sent to Ke-
nosha has announced that the commits
sion will consider the claims of the old
Kenosha surfman at an early meeting
Of the commission. He has stated that
while the claims Of surfmen connect
ed with the life saving crews are not
usually taken up by the commission
az exception will be made in the Ma
haney case and his heroic rescue of
Leslie Lane on the afternoon of Au-
examination of the record of Mahaney
by the commission.
The effort to secure recognition for
Mabaney is being pushed by the mem
bers of the Kenosha Life Saving
Crew and especially by Captain Frank
Fountain, the head of the crew. In
preparing statement of the work
done by Mahaney the log of the sta
ton has been called into service and
various deeds of valor by Mahaney
covering a period Of more than thirty
years will be presented to the commits
sion. Mahaney is the oldest member
of the crew from point of service and
in, fact he nas been connected with
the Kenosha crew ever since the or
ganization in 1879. He has aided the
other members of the crew in score
of heroic rescues but these are not men
toned in the record that is being for
warded to the commission. The deeds
mentioned were rescues in which Ma
haney unaided saved human life.
The first of the list runs way back
to June 2, 1881, at which time Mahan.
ely rescued Frederick Riehl from
drowning. Riehl had sunk in the lake
off the North pier and Mahaney dived
from the pier and brought him to the
beach.
On June 23d, 1885, Mahaney unas.
sisted rescued John Huck who was far
out in the lake in small boat and
this rescue was a most heroic one.
Mahaney swimming long distance
before he was able to get hold of the
drowning man and bring him to port.
On August %, 1885 Anna and Mary
Gill then little girls, were saved from
q sinking raft by Mahaney. The two
girls had gone out on the raft which
capsized and they were thrown into
the waters of the river. Both were
exhausted and clinging to each other
when they were found by Mahaney
He brought the unconscious children
to the beach and revived them
Frank Smith was rescued from
drowning by Mahaney in 1890 and the
rescued man has signed an affidavit
Of this act in which he pays high tri-
butte to the veteran life saver.
These rescues are all noted in che
report of the Kenosha Life Saving
Crew made to the United States GOV.
eminent and in addition to them Ma
haney has saved number of other
people from drowning but his modesty
made it impossible to get all of these
heroic acts into the record of the sta.
ton.
There is no doubt but that the com.

of the record of Mahaney and his Ke-
nosha friends are hopeful that he will
receive one of the much priced Car.

NORRIS MAY BE SENATOR.
Nebraskan Who Led Rebellion
House Gains Prominence.

Washington, March 21.-George r.
Norris, the insurgent who led the fight
against Cannon, has come out of the
row a pretty big man in the house,
with a good chance Of succeeding FL
mer J. Burkett as senator from Ne
braska Mr. Norris issued this state
ment:
THE change in the rules of the house
is in the interest of representative gov
ernment. 1t takes dictational power
from the speaker and places at the
command of the house opportunity to
have brought forth from committees
for consideration legislative matters in
which any representative number of
members of the house are interested
AN enlarged committee necessarily
means a broader appreciation of the
true sentiment of the country, and of
all its sections. Ten men from ten sec
tions of the country have more per-
feet appreciation of the desires of the
country in legislative matters than one
man from one section.
MY fight was not against Cannon; II
was against Cannon's control of the
committee on rules. and the injustices
likely to flow therefrom. With the
assistance of others who believed with
me that the power of Tie speaker
should be curbed and restricted and
thru democratic aid, we have won. I
am making no warfare on the republi-
can party. I am republican. working
for party success. / believe what we
republicans have done will make for
party success.
There may be other changes made
in the rules, but I do not anticipate
they will. come at this session. 1 am
thru with my fight for the present. The
speaker should not name the commit
tee nor the committee chairman. The
majority party in control should name
them. But the committees of the pres
ent congress have been named. They
will not be changed. That fight may
come before. another congress.
The chief executive will have no ad-
ditional difficulty under our plan in
getting his policies before the house.
Formerly he saw the speaker or other
members of the committee on rules.
hereafter he will see thee hartman OF
the new committee on rules. elected by
the committee of the entire majority
party membership of the committee. It
is just as easy and the president runs
a better chance of arousing.interest In
the COMMITTEES he will have more rnen
representing a larger section Of the
country with whom to DEAL"
