BOY AT POLICE STATION
CAN'T TELL HIS HOME.

There is a small boy at the Third
Precinct police station waiting for some
one to claim him. He says his name
is Mickey Farino and that he is z
years old. He doesn't know where he
lives but knows that he goes to Public
School No. /. located in some big city.
The boy was picked up on the Plank
road by a motorman of a Plank road
car about 10 o'clock last night ard
placed in charge of Patrolman Dunn.

Mr.. Brandeis continued his series of
questions concerning that visit to Bev-
erly in September, 1909. MI. Ballinger
arrived there on the 9Th and met the
President on the golf links. Mr.. Bran
deis wanted to know whether the pur-
pose of that visit was solely in onnec
ton with tho CLAWS Pinchot charges,
or whether it was also on other matters.
THAT was substantially the matter
which took me to Beverly he replied.
Mr.. Brandeis asked Mr.. Ballinger if
CLAWS at any tinfe had an opportunity
to see the he and his asso-
ciates had prepared for the President
in answer to the CLAWS charges. Mr..
Ballinger did not answer the question
directly and the attorney had the

BAL[|NGER IS
IN The HANDS OF
HIS PROSECUTOR
Sharp Clash Occurs Almost at
Beginning of Questioning
of Secretary.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Suggesting
a duel between a lion and a wasp, the
cross-examination OF Secretary Bal
linger by Attorney Brandeis, of counsel
for the prosecution" before the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigating committee
today, afforded the committee and the
room full of spectators, mostly women,
one sensation after another.
On the one hand the secretary in
dignantly protesting his consciousness
of innocence and loyalty to duty: on
the other the attorney making little
attempt to conceal his intention of ex-
asperating the witness to the umost,
fenced back and forth, mimicking each
other in tone and gesture.
Ballinger repeatedly appealed to the
committee for protection from the in
science of his tormentor, the latter
plainly taking delight in the growing
anger of the witness. The majority of
the committee took the part of the
witness.
The examination this morning had
reference principally to the preparation
by the President of his letter of Sep
TENDER 10, which exonerated the secre-
tary of the charges of Special Agent
l.. r. CLAWS and directed the dismissal
of the latter.
Mr.. Ballinger read a number Of let
tiers exchanged between himself and
James r. Garfield and Henry M. Copp,
a Washington lawyer, subsequent to
the last national election in reference
to the prominence which had been
given his name in connection with the
portfolio of Secretary of the Interior.
IN his letter to Garfield he referred to
the Tasting friendship and confidence
he had for Mr.. Garfield and that he
hoped he would be continued as the
head of the Interior Department. Gar
fields reply was equally friendly in
tone and began. my dear Dick"
Mr.. Rrandeis then took the witness In
hand. He had proceeded only a short
time in his cross-examination when an
other sharp clash occurred. The law
yer had asked the witness why he had
gone to Beverly to see the President,
after he had prepared in writing all of
the information in the possession of
his department bearing on the Gun
bingham cases.
Mr.. Ballinger said he went to Beverly
he had been invited by letter,
whereupon Mr.. Brandeis asked him to
p6nt out the paragraph in the letter
containing the invitation. Mr.. Balm
ger read a paragraph:
Does that contain n invitation to
to Beverly" demanded Mr.. Bran

Former KenOsha Shoe Dealer
Released On Own Recogni-
zance in U. S. Court
CHARGES HELD IN ABEYANCE

E. j. Huck, arrested two weeks ago
on charge of having violated the
postal laws by sending an improper
postal card to Joseph A. Pitts in this
city, returned to Kenosha Friday even
ing after being released on his own
recognizance by United States Judge
Quarles. Huck had been indicted by
the United States grand jury some time
ago and at the time charge was hang
ing over him in the courts of this
county, but this charge was nolled by
the district attorney in order that he
wer the charges in the United States
court. Huck had been in Jail in Mil
waukee awaiting trial since his arrest.
He was brought before Judge Quarles
late Friday afternoon and when ar
raigned entered a plea of not guilty
to the charges against him. Attorney
A. E. Buckmaster appeared for Huck
and asked that he be released on his
recognizance and the charges against
him to be held in obeyance pending
his good behavior. The United States
district attorney after going into all
the circumstances of the case decided
that it might not be unwise to give
Huck another chance and he urged
that leniency be shown the defendant
with the understanding that he would
make no more trouble for the complain
ing witnesses in Kenosha. Huck
agreed to let bygones be bygones and
it is said that he will leave Kenosha
on Monday and go into business in
some other place. Huck returned to
Kenosha on Friday evening and no eff
fort has been made to cause his arrest
on any charges held back at the time
he was given into the hands of the
federal officials.

The same committee was directed to
have new street signs placed at the
intersection Of streets the names of
which were recently changed by the
committee.
Alderman \. j. Werner, as poormast-
Ier, made report of his work cover
ing the last i've months which showed
that IN that time the expense of main
tanning his department had been
s2,695,47 The report of the poormast-
er was received with decided approval
by the members of the council as it
showed that the new poormaster had
cut IN two the cost of the maintenance
OF the poor of the city. Alderman
Werner declared that he had enough
money on hand to meet every obliga-
ton he had contracted and that he
would be able to reduce the expenses
of the department even more during
the warm months.
The council appropriated the sum of
$50 for the use of the Fred S. Lowell
Post of the Grand Army in securing
flowers and plants to decorate the
graves of the soldiers on Memorial
Day.
A new leaf was turned over in re-
gard to the presentation of bills to the
city and it was announced that in the
future the bills must be presented
monthly. The mayor has declared
that he will not sign orders for bills
more than thirty days old and while
this may be putting it little strong
the bills will have to be presented reg
ularly or the council may turn them
dewn.
The contracts for sprinkling Chicago
street and Prairie avenue were let to
George M. O'Brien and Henry Zeitler.
DR.. George E. Thompson was elected
city physician for the coming year at
a salary of 1896. The only other bid
for the position was presented by DR..

officer, his bid being $1,000.

ing in this state. During the two
years beginning at the time of the
bank panic in the fall of 1907, this
department placed $3.50 men, most of
them from cities, on farms. But with
the return of good times the problem
has grown more rather than less seri-
Gus. The demand for farm labor is
increasing while the supply is appar-
emily diminishing.
eve believe, however, that there
are thousands of young men and wom-
en- in Wisconsin who would like to Sc
cure employment on farms or in farm
homes if they knew where to find it,
within reasonable distance from their
homes. At one this time department.
thought of appealing to the postmast-
ers to make their offices free employ
ment agencies, but as these officials are
in the employment of the federal rath-
er than the state government the sug-
gestion seemed impracticable. After
giving the subject a great deal of
thought and advising with officials and
Others interested, we have reached the
conclusion that the county clerks Of
fee would make the most convenient
and efficient free employment and free
renting agency in each county. 1t
will entail some extra work for the
county clerks, but they would find
sufficient reward, we are sure, in the
close acquaintance it would give them
with the farmers in their counties and
in the consciousness of performing
gratuitously an important public serv-
ice. Z"
The plan as outlined it is feared will
not appeal greatly to some of the
county clerks. 1t would undoubtedly
be help to the farmers and it would
give the clerks chance to get a lot
of political prestige, but it would en-
tail lot of hard work and in some
counties work that the clerk could not
afford to do if at the same time he
took care of the other demands of his
Office.

PASSES THROUGH KENosHA
Strange Character Passes Through Here
on His Way to Milwaukee

One Of the quaintest characters ever
seen in Kenosha passed through the
city Sunday afternoon in the person
of Gottfried Rodriguez, a Hollander,
who is encircling the globe on a wager
of $4,000. He is enroute from Chi
cago to Milwaukee, where he intends to
stay for several weeks.
Rodriguez was attired in the pie
turesque but clumsy dress of the Dutch
and presented marked contrast to the
usual globe trotters. The feature that
attracted the most attention were his
cumbersome wooden shoes, which made
a resounding noise at every step, but
he doesn It mind the looks as he claims
they are comfortable.
One of the stipulations Of the wager
that Rodriguez should wear the quaint
costume during his entire tour of the
world, and it is for this reason that he
must appear in the unique red blouse,
wide legged blue pantaloons, and fur
head gear. Should this apparel wear
out, he will be compelled to remain in
bed until a new suit of the same de-
sign can be made for him.
Rodriguez is a traveller of note, claim
ing to be journalist, art critic and
opera singer all in one. During his
travels he has witnessed many interest
ing sights and has had many adventures,
visiting Copenhagen, London, Paris,
Madrid, Rome and Athens and being
in Spain during the Ferris execution
and in Turkey during the first uprising
of the young Turks. He was making
the tour of the United States with
friend who became ill in New York
and was compelled to return to Hol-
land.

CLERKS MAY BALk At PLAN
State Commissioner Beck Sends Out
a 'Feeler'' to Clerks Assuring Them
That Such Plan Would be Appre-
ciated by Department.

Frills in connection with public Of
fees are very much in vogue in Wis
consin and the latest frill proposed by
the state officials is the establishment
of public employment bureau in con-
nection with the Office of county clerks
in the various counties of the state.
The plan is outlined in a letter sent
out by J. D. Beck, commissioner Of
labor and industrial statistics. 1t is
not expected that the clerks of the
various counties will meet the sugges-
ton with great deal of favor as it
offers considerable work for the clerks
without in any way increasing their
fees or salaries. The plan is outlined
by the commissioner in a letter re-
ceived by County Clerk Russell III.
Jones this morning. It follows:
"For the last three years the bureau
of labor and industrial statistics has
been endeavoring to solve in, part the
problem of Farm Help and farm rent

A petition asking for the REBUILDING
OF the Middle street bridge at an ap-
proxlmate cost of $4,000 was presented
by more than a hundred tax payers
IN the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh wards
and this matter was referred to the
committee on streets, alleys and bridges
to be reported on at the next meeting
OF the council. The petitioners ask
ed that the work be done this year
with the understanding that the cost
OF 1t was to be added to the tax roll
for next year. It is proposed to widen
the bridge to uniform width of 81
feet and raise it four feet. This
would make possible uniform grade
on the street.
Retiring City Attorney Slater sent a
lengthy report to the city council in
regard to the fight for free phone serv-
ice in the various buildings of the
city and declared that the city would
accomplish its end best by bringing an
action in the circuit court. The mat
ter was referred to a committee CON
sisting of Aldermen Pirsch, Werner
and Higley which committee is to act
with the city attorney in taking up
the matter and it will probably be tax
EN- into the court. In winding up
his long service with the city the re-
firing attorney thanked the aldermen
for the many courtesies shown to him
and volunteered his services to aid the
new city attorney in any way posi-
BILE. The report was ordered spread
on the minutes and the retiring official
was given unanimous vote of thanks
by the members Of the council.
The council ordered Maiden Lane be-
tween Market and Pearl street paved
at once.
The report of the city clerk was pre-
sented and filed.
The report of the city treasurer bear
ing the date of April 30th was read.
1t showed a balance in the treasury of
the city of $32,61S61.
An interesting little bill for extras
for the building of small sewer on
Rowland avenue was presented by the
street assessment committee. It was
a q bof
had informally" let the contract for
the sewer and when it was completed
1t was found that the contractor, Fred
Cate, had lost about $52 on the lob.
On the recommendation of the commit
tee the amount was awarded to Cate.
On this action Alderman Filbin of the
Fourth ward made his maiden speech
to the council declaring against This
sort of business and declaring that if
the city was going to let contracts and
then allow extras to make up the losses
OF the contractor that he would re-
sign his Office as alderman and 90 to
contracting with the city. The al
derman fayed the members of the com
mlttee for unbusiness like methods and
demanded that all contracts of the city
be made In such manner that there
could be no chance of a council vot-
ing money for "extras."
The council was asked to build a
new bridge on Bronson street and this
matter was referred to the committee
on streets and alleys.
