PAPERS NOW BEING EXAMINED
List of Kenosha Enumerators to be
Announced Within the Next Two or
Three Weeks-Not Coming From
Washington.

The many persons who took the ex-
aminations for census enumerators are
anxiously waiting to learn whether they
answered correctly all or the majority
Of test questions which were submitted
to them. The percentages of each ap-
plicant will probably not be made
known until about March l as D. FL
mer Roberts, the supervisor of census,
is now going over the examination
papers and as he is supplied with a
key to all questions, will mark the pap
ers and will then send them to the
department of census and from there
will be issued the commissions.
Not until all papers have been ex-
amined will any of the applicants know
whether they will begin work as cen
sus enumerators April Is. Some of
the persons who took the examinations
in this city do not believe that they
will receive a high percentage and be-
cause of that may not receive the
federal appointment which will pay
about $50 for two weeks work. 1t is
known that in some districts there
were no applications for positions as
census enumerators and it will be neces-
sary for the supervisor to appoint the
enumerators and some who failed to
pass the examinations may receive
appointments.
The taking of the census is to be
most thorough and all enumerators
must be most careful When they re-
ceive their commissions they will re-
ceive books of instructions as well as
verbal instructions from the supervi-
sor of census for the district.
What the census enumerators are re-
quired to learn regarding the place or
birth of native-born and foeign-born
persons, and other personal facts con-
corning the latter class, in taking the
Thirteenth United States Census, be-
ginning April Is next, is fully set
forth in the printed instructions pre-
pared by the United States Census
Bureau to guide them in filing the
population schedule. 1t is pointed out
that all the questions relate only to
conditions existing ON April Is, the
'Census Day.
On the subject of place of birth of a
native-born person the instructions
state that if the person was born in the
United States the enumeration is to give
the state or territory not Getty or
town. in which born. A person born
in what is now West Virginia, North
Dakota, South Dakota, or Oklahoma,
should be reported as so born, although
at the time of birth the particular re-
gion may have had different name.

1t is said that the organization
which is to carry on the no-license cam
paign has been perfected and that one
Of the hottest campaigns in the history
Of the anti-saloon movement in this
state is to be waged in Kenosha. In
the opinion of many shrewd judges
could have no more favorable time to
make their fight. While realizing
that it is never safe to predict the out
come of a battle of this kind where
what may be called the silent vote
swings the result one way or another,
men who have watched the gradual
development of a situation in this city
which makes such campaign possible
declare that were the election held to-
morrow the no-license vote would be
surprisingly large and that big per-
centage of this vote would be cast
rather as a protest against the pre-
porderating influence of what is known
as the saloon element in the govern
ment of the city the open defiance of
the laws supposed to regulate the sa-
loon business made possible by this
power the saloon men hold in the
council, and the fear that if it is con-
tinued matters may go from bad to
worse, if that is possible, than from
any desire many of the voters who
would vote for no-icense might have
to put the law abiding saloon men
and there are many of them-out of
business.

TO ISSUE INTERNATIONAL CARD
Plan to be Followed Similar to
That Adopted by the international
Typographical Union Many Years
Ago.

The officers of the Bricklayers, Ma
sons and Plasterers International
Union, which has headquarters in Indi-
annapolis, have undertaken the task Of
making up roster of all members
affiliated with the organization from
the membership lists furnished by the
locals throughout the United States and
Canada
The roster is being prepared for the
officers who will have charge of the
mortuary benefit fund, which was au-
thorized at the international conven-
ton held last month in Boston, Mass.
The names, places of residence and
numbers of the local unions Of which
they are members will be arranged in
alphabetical order
The mortuary benefit plans were con-
sidered by the various local unions last
December, and each local voted on the
question. The result of the voting was
announced at the international eonven-
tion and when it was learned that the
majority of members were in favor of
the fund, July l was fixed as the date
on which the fund would be establish
ed.
According to the plans adopted by
the delegates, upon the death of mem
boo
connected with the organization one
year, his beneficiary will receive 800.
Upon the death of a member who has
been in good standing five consecutive
years the sum of $3.50 will be paid and
5000 will be paid when the member
has been connected with the union ten
consecutive years. A per capita tax
of 1919 cents a month and an addition
al initiation fee of 81 are the sources
of the fund
The committee which investigated
the advisability of establishing the
mortuary fund also considered the es-
Establishment of an old age pension fund,
but was obliged to postpone making
a report until after the roster is COM
pleted, in order that statistics could be
secured bearing on the ages of the
members.
The convention voted to do away
with the travelling cards formerly used
and to substitute an international work
ing card, The international travelling
card will be good in any city under
the jurisdiction of the international
organization and can be exchanged for
local working card. When an inter
national card is presented for ex-
change the international headquarters
will be notified
An important measure passed by the
convention was that of changing the
name of the organization from the
Bricklaycrs and Masons International
Union to that of the Bricklayers, Ma
sons and Plasterers' International
Union. The delegates passed resolu-
tions indorsing the postal savings
bank system.
Members of the local union which is
one of the strongest unions in the city
have watched the development of the
plan with a great deal of interest.

REGIsIER 4 LARGE

And Also. Please, a Never Again
When It Comes To Sympathy for
Old Flames.

Fred Rauffe reflects somewhat bit
torly on the fact that he Is an old
name OF Mrs. Bertha Knitz
Fred has q nature all too sympa-
. thetic and never, never again viii he
volunteer assistance to old sweet
hearts who crave his advice and inan-
cial aid.
wednesday morning found Paul
Knitz, Mrs Knltzs hubby, raging and
storming In cell In Central station.
Mrs. Knitz was volubly denying that
lshe knew anything about the disap-
ipenrance OF SS7 belonging to Rauffe,
and Nellie Saunders. u hunchback.
who occupies apartments at No. 100
,I4aetings-st. with the knitZes, was
equally insistent that she knew moth
ling OF the $S7.
It's n story of love and intrigue.
MANY years ago Rauffe and Mrs.
knit wandered together over the
igreen fields that surround Plymouth,
Mich. She turned 2autfe down, how
lever, and married Knitz. Tuesday,
lRauffe was surprised TO receive let
tier from Mrs. Knitz. The misstve told
Fhim she needed help In financial
Iway, but that what she wanted more
THAN anything else was advice. would
IRauffe come down to Detroit and give
fher some gratis?
(, Rauffe came on the last car Tues
Rday night. He repaired to the knit
residence. At o'clock Wednesday
,morning, enter Knitz. Knitz is Well
Anrop0rtioned man and confesses TO
Having at one time trained with jim
kJeffries. He says that he always was
suspicious Of Rauffe and that he had
foften thought about journeying to
plymouth and obliterating section OF
&that community from the map.
Anyway, he came In and found ms
twife and Mr.. Rauffe In the house.
There was trouble Immediately ana
ksOme time later, Rauffe awakened 10
! Central police station, where he ana
tKnitz had been taken by Patroiman
willis Alexander
When Rauffe was being searched az
1.-THE station, he discovered that his roll
Iof SS7 was missing. Detectives stem
kt0n and Dowd thought Il would De
highly proper TO investigate that mat
tier and they returned to the KNIT
ihome. A thorough search or the
| premises under the personal direction
hof Mrs. Knitz, revealed nothing. flhaE
lly. one OF the sleuths looked IN the
bread box and sure enough, there was
the $50. This was the cue for the ar
rest OF Mrs. Knitz, who Immediately
pointed an accusing finger at Nellie
Saunders. Nellis vows that she knows
nothing about the whole AFFAIR.
Rauffe is held at the station as a
witness. He says he is a much
maligned and northumberland
person. He thinks that Knitz Is un-
reasonably jealous. Knitz meanwhile
paces up and down the cell block, NUT
tering things under his breath and re-
calling incidents OF his training ca
reer with Mr.. Jeffries.

EXPLAINS SETTLEMENT
OF BUCKS STOVE STRIKE
President Gompers Says Agreement
Doesn't Affect Cases Againct
Mitchell, Morrison and Himself.

CINCINNATI. o., July 30.--"lt must
be understood that the agreement We
have reached in the settlement. OF the
Bucks Stove and Range Co. strike
does not affect the standing OF the
cases against John Mitchell, Frank
Morrison and myself, in which we are
charged with contempt OF court for
having published notices OF the boy
colt in the American Federation OF
Labor Journal after the court had en-
Joined us from doing So said Sam
uel Gompers In statement following
the announcement OF the agreement.
THE only change will be in the fact
that the Bucks company's attorney
will drop out of the case"
f, The settlement Of the dispute is con
sidered a victory by organized labor.
The terms of the agreement have not
been made public. The death recently
of James w Van Cleave Is probably
one OF the leading causes for the
peaceful agreement. The company has
been reorganized with L. w. Van
Cleave, the hon, at the head.
Gompers declared the American
Federation OF Labor would aid the
striking railroad men in Canada, al
though they do not belong TO the or.
ganizarion.
The Grand Trunk men had NJ
other course than TO strike when the
I railroad refused TO accede TO their
demands. Nothing but death can
