COMMITTEES ARE BUSY
Men in Charge of Great Woodman
Gathering Laying Out Plans

The various committees named to
have charge of the. great picnic of the
Modern Woodmen of Illinois and Wis
consin to be held in Kenosha in June
are getting busy and within a short
time the detailed plans for the picnic
will be issued. The finance commit
tee is meeting with Success in raising
funds for the event and it is certain
that the business men of the city will
make liberal provision for the en-
tertainment of the great crowd of peo-
pie coming The committee on adver-
tisement of the picnic plans to get
started early in February and the pic
mic will be advertised in every city
in the two states. It is planned to
make the picnic great boost for Re
nosha and booklets will be sent to the
members of the order showing the
beauties of the city and the royal re-
ception which is to be given to the
members of the order during their one
day visit here. 1t is expected that the
Northwestern Railway Company will
aid materially in the promotion of the
plans, for the picnic and that the event
will be boosted all along the line of
the company.

foundation under the pavement. 1t is
alleged that the contract demanded that
the brick be laid on a foundation of
crushed stone to the depth of eight
inches and that this rest upon foot
ing of sand one inch in thickness. Ae-
cording to the complaint the founda-
ton under the pavement in front of
the property Of the plaintiff does not
exceed three and one half inches in
thickness.
This charge of failure to observe the
contract in the laying of the pavement
makes up the new issue in the case and
his attorney is hopeful that this al
legged state of facts will be sufficient
to get the matter to a jury for YER
diet. The hearing on the case has
been set for next Wednesday in the
circuit court and it is expected that
the attorneys for the three defendants
will again demur to the complaint
on the grounds that the complaint does
not state a sufficient cause of action.
In the meantime the injunction issued
by the court at the time of the filing
of the original compaint will still re-
main in force and no further action
viii be taken to sell the property for
the collection of the deIiquent taxes.

fly the down town district of the city
and make it safer
The plan of setting off districts under
the new state law has been tried at
Madison and it is working to perfec-
ton. Already two districts have been
set off at Madison and the public serv-
ice corporations having lines in these
districts have met the demand of the
city and have placed the wires under
ground.
The move to have the business dis
trict of Kenosha declared a district for
under ground wires is only a start in
the movement and after the start is
made it is planned to extend the dis
tricts so that in time the greater part
of the city will be included in these
districts. It is expected that the plan
will meet opposition on the part of
some If the public service corporations
but it is declared by the city attorney
that the state law gives the city full
power In the matter. The plan may
meet with some opposition on account
of the fact that it will be necessary to
disturb the pavements, but it is thought
that large proportion of the wires
could be placed in conduits in alleys
adjacent to streets. Plans for the
the business districts Plans for the
extension Of the first district were urg-
ed at once by the aldermen represent
ing property owners on Ashland avenue
and the council was urged to act so
that Ashland avenue might be included
in the district.
In the meantime the report of the
state electrical expert who has been
making an examination of the overhead
wires in Kenosha is expected to aid in
the fight to get the wires under ground.
This report will show that the condi-
tions in Kenosha are unusually danger
Gus. In fact the state official declared
after making an examination of the
wiring in Kenosha that there was no
city in the state which had such rot
ten conditions surrounding overhead
wires.
This report will probably be sent to
the council before the next regular
meeting and it will be turned over to
the special committee for use in set
ting the boundaries for the first under
ground district.
The movement is one of the biggest
started in Kenosha in many years and
it is expected that the people inter
ested in the growth of the city and
the safe guarding of the lives of the
people will rally to the support of the
council and give their aid in the effort
to force the public service corporations
to "bury' the wires

TO FIGHT BY INJUNCTION
Plan to Stop Remodeling of Jail by In
junction Now Being Worked Out

A fight by injunction to prevent the
remodeling of the county Jail along the
lines laid down by the board of Su-
pervisors is being planned and man
prominent in the fight against the re-
building of the old building stated
this morning that the county board
would be enjoined from letting a con-
tract for the work at the special meet
ing of the board to be held on Febr-
nary Is. The injunction is to be ask
ed on the grounds that the action of
the board in voting to remodel the Jail
was taken without the resembling of
the former resolution which provided
for the erection of new building and
for the further reason that there was
no competition in securing the plans
for the remodeling of the building.
1t is not known in whose name the in
junction will be sought, out it will
probably. be sought by some private in
dividual acting for one of the mem
bers of the board who opposed the
plans as adopted.

TO SET Off DISTRICT AT ONCE
City Will Take Advantage Of Law
Passed by the Last Legislature and
Order Wires Under Ground in the
Business Districts,

The first step leading to the placing
Of all wires of the public service cor
porations under ground was taken by
the common council on Monday even
ing when on the motion Of Alderman
Marlatt, the committee on ere depart
ment with the city attorney and the
city engineer added was directed to
bring a report to the council at its next
meeting making the boundaries for a
district in which wires must be placed
under ground. The district is to cover
the same district now known as the
fire district.
The action of the council was taken
in keeping with the provisions of law
passed by the legislature of 1909 which
gives the common councils of cities in
the state the right to set off certain
districts in which wires must be placed
under ground. It is expected that as
soon as the committee reports on the
laying out Of the district that the city
attorney will be directed to draw up an
ordinance which will cover the matter
and give the city the power under the
law to order the wires under ground.
The matter was brought before the
council by communication from, Chief
of the Fire Department H. A. Iser-
mann in which he stated that in some
parts of the city particularly in the
alley to the east Of the Meyers block
the wires of the public service corpora
tions were so interviewer as to make it
impossible for firemen to fight fire
in this alley. He urged that the coun-
Gil take some immediate action to have
some plan arranged for the doing away
with this net work of wires. Alderman
Pirsch suggested that the city employ
at a later time an electrical engineer
who would take up the entire matter
of the wires and suggest a way out
of the difficulty. The plan to put the
wires under ground will do away with
the necessity for such an official and
at the same time it will greatly beauti-

TREASURER STILL ENJOINED
Notice Of Sale of Property to Collect
Special Assessments is Withdrawn
Pending Rehearing of the Case in
the Circuit Court

Dowie Gasstra, the contractor has re-
opened the fight against the payment
for the paving of Crate street which
was supposed to have been settled by
Judge Belden in favor of the city and
county several weeks ago and Friday
an amended summons and complaint
was served on the attorneys for the
city and county and County Treasurer
Frank Marx who had advertised the
sale OF the property to pay the special
assessments has been instructed by the
court to withdraw the notice of sale
pending the settlement of the new ac-
ton brought by Gaastra.
The action was first brought many
months ago and the attorneys of the
city and county as well as those repre-
senting John O. JONES' the contractor
who did the work, fled demurrer to
the complaint which was sustained by
the court, but the sustaining of the
demurrer did not dissolve the iniunc-
ton which had been secured by GAS
ira to prevent the sale of the property.
In the amended complaint which has
been prepared by Attorney Henry j.
Hastings attorney. for the plaintiff in
the action, many of the causes for ac-
ton alleged in the former complaint
are stated, but the portion of the com
plant in which it is alleged that the
city had illegally adopted a portion of
the general charter law of the state has
been withdrawn so that the decision
of the court in this case will not eff
feet any other piece of pavement in
the city.
The complaint still alleges that the
council action in letting the contract
for the work was irregular and it is
still asserted that members of the
council who voted on the letting of
the contract were not eligible to sit
as members of that body. There. is
one new allegation and that is that
the contract was not carried out in
connection with the placing of a proper

kosh Hotel Thought to be From Here
Chief of Police O'Hare received
telephone from the chief of police at
Oshkosh just before noon today asking
that he make an effort to discover the
identity of man who committed sui
eide at Oshkosh Sunday. 1t is claim
ed that the man bought ticket at the
Kenosaa depot on last Saturday for
Spalding, Mich, and he stopped at Osh-
kosh on Sunday. The unused portion
of the ticket together with number
of butchers aprons were found in
grip which he brought with him. Cards
found in the grip indicated that the
mans name was either I. Olson or
Thomas Nilsson. The man is deserib
ed as having sandy mustache and
weighed in the neighborhood of 100
pounds. No one seems to be missing
from Kenosha who answers the deserip-t
ton of the dead man but it is possible
that the police will get some more in
formation on the case before the day
is over.

The three walked away together in earnest
argument, Larry shaking his head, the Others
urging him to think it over again.
At five-thirty the following Sunday morning
Larry Donovan. struggling IN the Niagara
River, was picked up by boatman who had
rowed from the Canadian shore and vowed that
strike the water feet first, and then rise to the
surface and start swimming. Before the day

facts:

keeper on the American side just after day
break One was muffled in heavy overcoat,
and silk cap was drawn close down over his
eyes. The other man was James Haley, who
kept a sparring academy in Buffalo. The
buggy stopped in the middle of the bridge,
which held no other persons at that early hour.
The gatekeepers at the ends were tightly
housed in their offices; for the morning air
was chill and there snow on the ground.
Haley stood up in the buggy and fired a re-
volver. and as the gatekeepers ran out they saw
him excitedly pointing toward the water The
Canadian gatekeepers were thrown into such
state of excitement over the unusual occurrence
that they did not notice young man with
light overcoat thrown open and derby hat who
sauntered past them and headed for the Clifton
House.
