CHICAGO SALOON MAN HERE
Man Who Was With HASTEN and Mar
tin Just Before They Went Ous on
the Lake Claims no knowledge of
the Killing of Martin,

There were no sensational develop
ments in the trial of Herman Hasten
in the circuit court Tuesday afternoon
and today and the evidence produced
by the state simply brought out details
Of the death of Hasten which have
been told before in the stories of the
affair. A strong web of circumstan-
tial evidence is being woven by the
district attorney, but none was intro
duced as a witness who could give
any actual facts in regard to the quar-
rel between the two men or the strik-
ing of the blow (which is alleged to
have resulted in Martin s death. The
district attorney introduced witnesses
to show the facts in regard to the men
starting out on the lake, the finding of
the body fand the finding of the blood
smeared oar and the testimony of Mrs.
Annie Wibefg which was given in the
municipal court in which she told of
hearing the quarrel on the lake, was
read into the evidence of the case and
all was accepted without any objection
on the part of the defense
The most important witness of the
day was Herman Bansk, a Chicago
saloon keeper who had been with Mar
tin at the time he started out on the
lake with HASTEN The witness ad-
mitted that he had known both HASTEN
and Martin for some time and that all
three of them had been drinking on
the night before the finding of the
body of NaEsin Ills testimony was
the most important produced by the
state on account of the fact that he
testified that when Martin started out
on the lake with HASTEN there was
no sign of Me bruise over his eye
which was found after the body had
been removed from the water Bansl
stated on the stand that on the morn
ing after the finding of the body he
and companion had planned to go
over to see Hasten but when they got
into the boat to row across the lake
the boat upset and they were thrown
into the water and for this reason were
forced to remain in bed all day.
The testimony of Bansk caused
many a smile in the court room and it
came as one of the enlivening features
of the trial. There was little of in
terest in the other witnesses.
Tomorrow expert witnesses will be
placed on the stand by the state to
show that the hair found on the oar
was very similar to that on the head
of the dead man. This evidence will
come as the close Of the evidence Of
the state and it is probable that Kas-
ten will take the stand in his own de-
tense some time Thursday. HASTEN g
mother, his sister and several Of the
other members Of the Hasten family
were in court this morning and they
will remain in Kenosha until after the
trial Of the case is over. 1t is thought
that day will be sufficient for the
defense and it IS probable that the
case win go to the jury on Friday af-
ternoon or Saturday morning.

evening clearly demonstrated that he
is rising in his favorite line to a
standard that will place him in larger
field of usefulness in the theatrical
world. No Burns night program would
be complete without the address to
the Haggis and Peter Shearer of Som
ers, who has performed that service
at every previous event, gave in true
Scottish dialect the words of praise
the poet dedicated to Scotia s choicest
fare.
The decorations of both the assem-
bly, and dining halls were in the colors
of the society. Red, blue and yellow
festoons hung from the chandeliers
Flags of the United States and Scot
land adorned the stage furnishing a
very pleasing effect. Heather and
smilax added to the table decorations
which were the finest ever seen at any
similar event. The menu appearing
on the program was couched in the
Scotch language and to any other
than native of Burns land it was
foreign. If, however, the printed
menu caused any nervousness, this
was all dispelled by single glance
at the tables.> Over three hundred
people partook of the supper which
was served entirely by the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Caledonian Society.

NAMED BY ENGLISH BRANCH
Seven Branches of the Social Demo
cratic Organization in the City Now
Taking a Referendum Vote to Sc
lect Candidates

The Social Democrats Of the city
have started their referendum vote for
the selection of candidates for city
Offices to be voted on at the coming
municipal election and it is stated that
Howard Dennis, one of the best known
members Of the party in the city is
leading in the race for nomination for
mayor.
Mr.. Dennis who was the Social
Democratic candidate for alderman in
the Second ward two years ago has
been named as candidate for mayor
by the English branch Of the Social
Democrats in the city and it is thought
that the selection of this branch will
be ratified by the other six branches
of the organization. The referendum
will continue for another week and the
exact result will not be made public
until after a mass meeting of all the
branches at which the vote will be
ratified. Each of the seven branches
under the constitution of the party
has the right to name candidates for
the different city Offices and then the
man named securing the largest num-
Der of votes is declared the candidate
of the party. Dennis entered the
field with the unanimous support OF
the members of the English branch
and this gave him a long lead over
any other candidate. Joseph Ortiz
long leader among the Social Demo
Gratis IS also being voted fol-. but as
he had the honor Of running in a
former year it is thought that the
majority of the members of the party
will favor Dennis this yer. Mr.. Den
mis- has been actively connected with
the Social Democratic party in Keno
sha for the past six years and he has
been one Of the working members of
the organization.
1t is expected that $50 votes will be
cast in the selection of the candidate
and if possible every member of the
seven different branches of the organi-
cation will be asked to register his
vote. AS yet the names of the men
proposed as candidates for other places
on the city ticket have not been made
public.
William Kaufman, the father of the
Socialistic movement in Kenosha was
decidedly optimistic over the outlook
when seen this morning. He said:
"There is lots of enthusiasm among
the Social Democrats this year and
we are looking for better show of
strength than in other city elections.
There will be $50 votes cast in the
referendum and just at the present
time things look favorable for Howard
Dennis as the candidate for mayor, but
other men may come up before the
referendum is completed. -
1t was stated that the party would
have candidates for every office in the
city regardless of the showing made
by the party two years ago when its
vote fell far below the 300 mark.

Joseph Gillroy, arrested on Sunday
on charge of ASSEMBLING James Jor-
dan, was found not guilty of the
charge by Judge Randall on Tuesday
afternoon. Gillroy admitted striking
Jordan but he declared that he struck
him in self defense and this defense
was supported by the evidence of sew
eral people Who witnessed the trouble.
Jordan still seems to be dazed as a
result Of striking his head on the win
dow ledge, but it is thought that he
will recover in a few days.

Milwaukee had invited the convention
also, but as it convened there in 1908
Oshkosh was given the preference.
An innovation in the conduct of the
Federation is indicated by the ap-
pointment of a press committee Up
to this time the Federation has had no
systematic way of giving out news, and
often information which it is desired
should reach the public was withheld
because no one was authorized to give
it out. The press committee consists
of the district vice presidents
