voters of Boston to insure the appointment
of William II. Lewis. assistant United
State attorney there, as an assistant at

Justice. Senator Lodge has been impor-
tuned to insist on his appointment, and is
doing what he can. President Taft wants
to honor Lewis with a high place i'm the

that he does not wish to remove any OF
his assistants merely to find a place for
Lewis. There was talk that Assistant At

Southern statesmen who called at the
White House today in regard to the

contrary, they met with discoura cement,
there evidently having been hitch in
the negotiations that do not promise
satisfactory outcome. Senator'S Money
of Mississippi and Swanson of Virginia
both talked with the President today.
Senator Money was inclined to be COM

and her Discrimination to meet President
Taft and the State Department half way.
IF they won't give us some concessions
We must make reprisals," declared Sena-
tor Money. Il am surprised that Ger

Taft was hopeful in his statements to
those calling in reference to the pota sh

Secretary Knox was in conference with

Former mayor, James German, gain

Democratic nomination against Mayor
M. J. scholey as following the an
nouncement of Monday that the petit

ton comes the announcement today that
Mayor Scholey has started the ball roll

nomination of the mayor were started
in the First ward and they are being
circulated there with vigor. 1t is
understood that the other petitions for
other wards in the city will be sent
out this afternoon. 1t is evident that
the rival candidates of Democracy are
planning to make the petition fight
vigorous one and that as. many people
as possible will be asked to pledge
themselves to their candidacy by sign
ing the petitions. The only other pc
titiohs taken out today were those for
the nomination of Peter Pirsch as a
Democratic candidate for alderman in

MEN PLANNING AN ULT|MiTUN
Companies Declare That Union Will
Not be Recognized and They are
Keeping Men in Readiness to Take
Place of Force in Case of Strike

Labor troubles are causing no end of
worry for the men in charge of the
annual ice harvest on the inland lakes
of Kenosha county and since the open
ing of the ice cutting season the work
'on nearly every lake has been badly
interfered with on account of the
clashes between non-union and union
laborers It is declared that the men are
better organized this year than in any
previous year and while the men in
charge of the various ice houses have
refused to recognize the union the men
employed have made it decidedly hot
for the men who are outside of the
union who have sought work on the
ice. In most cases the clashes have
not been of serious nature, but with
the closing Of the season it is feared
that there will be other troubles of a
more serious nature Ultimatums
have been sent by the men to the
men in charge of the cutting of the
ice and they have paid no attention
to them and it is possible that there
will be general walk out Of all the
men who belong to the so-called union
before the end of the present week.
1t is claimed that the harvest will not
be seriously affected by such walkout
on account of the fact that many of
further fact that many men who are
not adverse to working without a
union card have signifed willingness
to go to the ice fields. The big Chi
cago companies are keeping in close
touch with the employment agencies in
Chicago and it is declared that they
would be able to fill the places of all
the men now employed with non-union
men on a half hours notice.
1t is feared, however, that the bring
ing in of new force Of men to take
care of the ice would be fraught with
serious consequences and it is feared
that there would be q repetition of
the troubles at Twin Lakes Of last
Tuesday afternoon and evening There
is now goodly number of deputies
at Twin Lakes and other points where
the ice men are at work and it is
thought that these men will be able to
take care of any outbreak among the

NO INVESTIGATION INTO RATES
Attorneys for Company will Claim
Rights Under Old Franchise Ordin-
ance While City Will Insist That
Citizens Ordinance is Beneficial

The attorneys for the Kenosha Home
Telephone company and for the city
have reached an agreement in regard to
the presentation of the demand Of the
city for free phone service to the
State Railroad Commission and in a
few days Attorney James Cavanagh
representing the company and Attorney
JOhn G. Slater representing the city
will get together and make a stipula-
tion of the facts in the case as they
are to be presented to the commission
and this stipulation viii be submitted
to the commission practically without
argument. When this is done the verb
al complaint fled by the Mayor and
the City Attorney the latter part of
last week will be withdrawn and the
commission will be asked to act on the
facts as specified in the complaint
signed by the attorney for the city and
the attorney for the company.
In speaking Of the matter City At
torney Slater said 1T is not the
purpose of either myself or Mr.. Cav
anagh to make any great argument in
this matter but we both are of the
opinion that the commission should
have the full facts before it the
decision is made. The Telephone COM
pany will submit to the commission
that it claims the right to use the
streets of the city under q franchise
ordinance granted 20 tbs Wisconsin
Telephone Company and the city will
insist that some of the rights granted
to the Citizen S company are now used
for the benefit of the Kenosha Home
Telephone company There will be no
question as to the provisions made IN
the ordinance of the Citizen s company
to provide free phones to the city and
it is understood that the company is
willing to stipulate that it will grant
these phones if the commission rules
that it has the right to do SO without
further bubble.
1t is expected that the stipulation
of the attorneys will be ready to be
forwarded to Madison by the latter
part of &Sis week and an effort will
be made 20 get a decision in the mat
ter at the earliest possible time.
Attorney Slater in speaking of the
matter asked that it be made plain
that the city had not taken up with
the commission any matter as to the
rates charged by the company in Ken
osha and he stated that it was not the
plan of the city to take up any such
matter with the commission. If the
people of Kenosha believe that the
rates charged by the company are not
fair rates it will be up to some private
patron of the company to make a for
NAL complaint to the commission under
which complaint an investigation may
be made.
Pending the decision of the matter
by the commission it is probable that
the city will continue to pay the bills
of the company under the agreement re
Gently made that the money will be
refunded if the commission decides
that the city is entitled to free service.

DR.. B. A. Garfield Who Fig
ured in a Sensational Di-
YOrce WEEDS Miss Butts
RECALLS FAMOUS DIVORCE SUIT

One of the most bitterly contested
divorce actions ever tried in the courts
of Kenosha county was recalled by the
announcement that DR.. Bradford Allen
Garfield, formerly well known in Ke
nosha and Miss Augusta Esther Butts,
Of Chicago, had been married in Chi
cago during the holidays. No print
ed announcements of the wedding were
received here, but the information came
through an announcement in one of the
medical journals and it at once caused
comment among the physicians of the
city. The men who had been close
friends of the doctor during the time
he had resided in Kenosha had not
been notified of his second venture on
the matrimonial seas.
Dr. Garfield had formerly been a
well known eye and ear specialist in
Kenosha, but several years ago his wife
fled an action for separate mainten-
ance and the case was in the courts of
Kenosha county and Chicago for sew
eral years. 1t was attended by many
charges and counter charges and at
one time Garfield during the hearing
of the case fled from the court room
and went into another state and a
bench warrant was issued demanding
his arrest on a charge of contempt of
court. Garfield since that time has
not been seen in Kenosha and the suit
for divorce was dragged along in the
courts until little over year ago
when an agreement was reached be-
tween Garfield and his former wife and
the wife was granted an absolute di-
vorce in this county. Since that time
sCamfeld had been living in Chicago.
The second Mrs. Garfield is not known
to any of the friends of the Camfeld
family in Kenosha. 1t is understood
that Dr. Camfeld and his wife will
make their home in Chicago where the
doctor is connected with several insti-
buttons.

TO BUILD SANITARIUM
Local Committee Working in Fight
Against Tuberculosis to Make Plans

The local committee in charge of the
sale of Red Cross stamps feels that the
crusade in Kenosha was pushed with
considerable vigor and as a result of
the success Of the crusade in selling,
stamps the comittee has secured a
fund that will be nucleus for fund
for building county sanitarium. 1t
is expected that plans will be made at
an early time to raise other money for
this purpose and that some steps lead
ing to the creation of the county sani-
tarium will be made early in the spring.
About 5000 worth of the Christmas
stamps were sold in Kenosha and
under the agreement with the state
committee the committee here will re-
ceive $465 from this amount.

W. T. Marx of the Post Office
Force Brings Action in
Court AgainstDr .RowelI
SAYS INJURIES ARE PERMANENT

Summons and complaint was served
on Monday afternoon in suit for
damages for personal injuries brought
by William T. Marx, order clerk in the
Kenosha postofice against DR.. E. F.
Rowell, we'll known dentist of the
city. Marx asked for damages in the
amount of $4,000. On account Of the
prominence Of the parties to the suit
and the conditions under which it is
brought the action is attracting more
than usual attention. The suit is the
outcome Of a personal encounter be-
tween the two men which occurred at
the office ~of DR.. Rowell on the after
noon Of January 4th in which the plain
tiff alleges that he sustained injuries
of permanent nature. The story of
the fight between the two men has
been known among their personal
friends for several days, but these men
had considered the matter more in the
light of joke than anything else.
In his suit Marx declares that the as
sault on him was an unprovoked one.
He declares that at the time he was
struck by the dentist he had on pair
of glasses and that the glasses were
broken and the glass struck him in the
eye seriously injuring the eye.
The story Of the dentist does not
agree with the statement of the trou-
BILE as made in the complaint filed by
Marx. He states that it was nothing
but little squabble in which both he
and Marx lost their temper for a
minute but which resulted in a flag Of
truce afterward and that he had shaken
hands with Marx and they had agreed
to forget the whole thing. The trou-
BILE arose over the lease of house for
which DR.. RowelI was acting in the
capacity Of agent and some harsh
words were passed before the blow was
struck.
Attorney Calvin Stewart represents
Marx in the fling of the, suit and At
torney Henry Hastings has been re-
tanned by Rowell to look after his de-
Tense. It is supposed that the case
will be called for trial at the March
term of the circuit court.
