J. Folk of Chicago Arrested
Sunday on a Charge of
Speeding in City
MAN HAS PET|L0us DRIVE

The police of the city made the first
arrest of the year for speeding on
Sunday afternoon when Joseph Folk
of Chicago and Dan Smith of Kenosha
were arrested on charge of driving
an automobile without regard to the
speed laws. Folk appeared in court
this morning and admitted to Judge
Randall that he did not remember
great deal in regard to the case and
was fined $40 and the costs of the
action. Smith was the FEgood Samari-
tan" in the case. He had attempted
to pilot Folk out of town and put him
on the road to Chicago when the ar
rest was made. Smith pleaded "guil-
ty" to being in the car and was fined
dollar and costs.
Folk who formerly worked in Ke-
nosha was driving a small Rambler
car and the movements of the automo-
bile created quite Juror among peo-
pie along Market square and Market
street ON Sunday afternoon. With
Folk at the wheel the car came down
Milwaukee avenue and Main street at
"a speed so great that every bit of
power that the car could muster was
being used. At the First National
Bank corner Folk swung the car about
so sharply that it took to the side
walk. Further west on Market street
Folk ran the auto into post, but it
declined to climb the post and Folk
started west again only to come to
grief on the lawn in front of the resi-
dence of Mrs. Ben Jensen. Here the
automobile struck tree and the front
axle was so badly bent by the series
of mishaps that the automobile went
out of commission and the police who
had started on the trail had no trouble
arresting the two men. Folk remain
ed in jail over night but Smith was
released on his own recognizance The
autobobile was badly wrecked and Folk
was so disguested that he declared that
he would leave it in Kenosha.
Before he settled up with the court
Folk agreed to pay for the damage to
the Jensen lawn as well as for other
damages from his Joy ride

StateAnti-T Tuberculosis Com
mittee Outlines Plans for
Finding Information
FAMILIES ARE URGED TO HELP

"What is a tuberculosis survey?
What good does it accomplish,
These and similar questions are fire.
quently asked of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association since it was
announced that the Milwaukee survey
would be followed by similar work
throughout the state.
" A problem cannot be solved until
the conditions responsible for it's ex-
istence are ascertained. To solve the
great tuberculosis problem--to wipe out
the disease-we must know what causes
its existence and what permits it to
continue. The causes once known, an
attempt can then be made to remove
them, - says DR.. II. M. Dearholt, execu-
tive secretary of the association. GA
survey or investigation is simply tax
ing inventory; learning the number Of
cases of tuberculosis; their location;
conditions surrounding each, and de-
termining the most economic method
to be pursued in caring for the patients,
all to the end Of care, prevention and
cure.
GA survey arouses physicians and
boards of health to action. 1t pro-
notes observance of health laws. The
public is aroused to it's problem, and
is educated up to its ultimate solution.
emo family. need have fear when
asked for statistical information by an
investigator. Individuality is lost;
the family's record becomes but a
unit in bulk Of information which is
used as basis for helping communi-
ty to meet its problem. The investi-
gators are trained workers, coming
with an earnest desire to do good.
There is no temptation for them to Cos
sip All information obtained is
held in the most sacred confidence"
Surveys are about to be made in
number of cities and the association
earnestly requests each family in To-
cality under investigation to give in
formation freely. There is no pos
sibility of harm, but certainty of
great benefit in the making of a survey.

DIES IN AN ASYLUM
Sad Story of Life Of Ida Jan
sen Has It's Ending in Ra-
cine Monday Evening
SOUGHT SWEETHEART IN VAIN

The last chapter in the sad life story
of Ida Jansen, Finnish girl, who
came to Kenosha more than four years
ago, was written at the Racine asylum
for the insane on Monday evening when
the young woman died after long
illness from consumption. The re-
mains were buried at the cemetery near
the asylum this afternoon and County
Clerk Jones will make an effort to mott
fly the relatives of the dead woman.
Ida Jansen, young woman Of rare
personal beauty came to Kenosha in
the spring Of 1906 from Finland. She
had a sweetheart somewhere in the
United States and he had written her
from Kenosha and she came here to
join him with the understanding that
she was to be married to him. When
she reached Kenosha she was unable to
find any trace of the young man. She
applied to the officials of the city and
county and they made a search for him
but all trace of him was lost and he
was never heard from again. The two
had been engaged to be married before
the man left Finland. The young
woman waited about Kenosha for sew
eral weeks and then went to the town
of Pleasant Prairie where she accepted
a position as a domestic. However,
she brooded over the loss Of her sweet
heart until she became violently in
sane. She was committed to the state
hospital at Mendoza in 1907 and later
she was removed to the asylum in Ra-
cine county. For the past year she
had been a sufferer from consumption.
She never regained her reason and up
to the time of her death she labored
under the impression that she was
about to be married.
No trace of the man in the case was
ever found by the, officials and some of
them have declared that the young
woman was suffering from insanity
when she came to this county and that
the sweetheart was creation of her
disordered mental faculties. She new
err revealed anything about her family
to Kenosha county people and for this
reason it is thought that it will be a
hard matter to find them.

FormerJ Justice ofPeaceTak
Out Papers as Democratic
Candidate for Co. Sheriff
WILL MAKE A BUSY CAMPAIGN

Edward Donahue, formerly Justice Of
the Peace, is the first real candidate
for sheriff of Kenosha county. He took
out his papers on Monday afternoon
and has started them in circulation.
Mr.. Donahue promises to make a real
fight for the nomination and he has re-
signed his position at the plant of the
Simmons Manufacturing Company in
order to be able to give more time to
his campaign for the nomination. Don
ahue is something of politician and
his election as Justice of the Peace
against Benjamin O. Sturges who had
made great record as a public official
came as a great surprise to the poll
ticians. Donahue has large follow
ing among the younger Democrats of
the city and he expects to get the same
following in the county. He is losing
no time getting into the race and will
undoubtedly keep things moving from
now uHt1l dIIef the VOJeS dG GH6 pf1m-
airy are counted.
The active campaign started by Mr..
Donahue will undoubtedly cause other
candidates to get busy. Ben Schilz,
who twice was the nominee of the
Democracy for the Office of sheriff no
tilted his friends both in the city and
county many months ago that he would
be in the field for the Office this year
and he is certain to receive strong
support for the nomination.
The fight for the Democratic nomi-
nation promises to be quite as inter
esting as the contest among the Repub-
licans. Leaders of the Democracy are
already talking of holding a party
conference with view of seeing that
there are candidates in the field for
every office on the ticket.

The manager of the gas company
wishes it known that employees of that
company never leave it's Office without
the means of Identifying themselves
to all customers of the company whose
homes or places of business it may be
necessary for them to visit and it is
good plan to make these men show
their credentials before admitting
them. Within the last week or ten
days numerous complaints have been
made of householders being annoyed by
numerous visits from men who repre-
scented themselves as employees Of the
gas company, as many as five of these
men visiting a single house in two days
ard it is evident that some of these
men who invaded peoples homes had
no business there. The fact that the
men appear to have left without steal
ing anything leaves the police as we'll
as the officials Of the company at a
loss to account for their peculiar ac-
lions.

Mayor Seidel the Socialist mayor of
Milwaukee seems to be alive to the
responsibilities of his new position not
only as regards his obligations to the
people of the city, but to his party.
Instead of the wild rant and turmoil
which was expected to follow his in
auguration he has said no word to
which exception can fairly be taken
and every change he has made in the
methods of transacting public business
has been along the line of better serv-
ice for the public as must be admitted
by even the most rabid opponent of
his doctrines. What is evidently to
be the key note of his administration
was sounded at the Danish National
celebration at Riverview Park, Chicago,
Sunday when he said, "Let Socialism
as good practical principle of govern
ment be judged by what we do in Mil
waukee.' - AS matter of fact the
election of Seidel in Milwaukee was a
revolt against existing conditions which
were becoming intolerable and much of
the vote polled by his party was given
in the belief that any change which
could be brought about by the Socia-
lists or anybody else must be for the
better, but it is useless to deny that
should Seidel succeed in bringing about
half the improvements he promises then
The Socialists will stand in a much
stronger position in Milwaukee and
all over the state than they have ever
occupied before. To many of the So
Der minded citizens of Milwaukee the
election of a Socialist mayor was a
desperate remedy, one to be used only
as a last resort and one likely to prove
worse than the disease, but so far the
experiment is succeeding beyond their
most sanguine expectations.
