DUTIES OF The CITY CLERK
After Receiving the Petition Contain
ing at Least $50 Names He Must
Give the Proper Notice TO the Voters
of the City.

More or less discussion has been
heard with reference to the question of
license or no license being voted upon
at the coming April election. 1t has
been claimed and stated as fact by
those who pretend to know, that such
an election cannot be held at the reg
ular April election, but must be a
special election called for that particu-
lar purpose. la order to settle the
important matter an attorney this
morning looked up the law and found
without a doubt, that the election may
be held, or votes cast for and against
the license or no license at the April
election Here is the section cover
ing that point and should put at rest
all claims that are advanced to the
contrary:
Chapter 200 of the Laws of 1909,
published May OF, 1909, and entitled
an act to amend section 1864 of the
statutes, relating to petition for local
option election
The people Of the state Of Wiscon-
sin represented in senate and assembly
do enact~as follows:
Section 1.-Section 1565a of the
statutes is amended to read: Section
1565a. 1--Whenever a number of quail
fed electors Of any town, village or
city equal to or more than ten per
cent Of the number of votes cast there
in for governor at the last general
election, shall present to the clerk
thereof q petition signed by them
praying that the electors thereof
may have submitted to them the
question whether or not any per
son shall be licensed to deal or traffic
in any spirituous, malt or Intoxicating
liquors or drinks as beverage, and
shall file such petition with the clerk
at least ten days prior to the first
Tuesday in April next succeeding, such
clerk shall forthwith make an order
providing that such question shall be
So submitted on the first Tuesday of
April next succeeding the date of such
order.
2-The city clerk making such order
shall give notice of the election to be
held on such question in the manner
notice is given of the regular city
election; town and village clerks who
make such orders shall give such no.
tice by posting written or printed no
tees in at least five public places in
the town or village not less than ten
days before the election. The cleo
tion on such questions shall be held
and conducted and the returns can
vassed in the manner in which cleo
tions in such cities, towns or villages,
on other questions are conducted and
the returns thereof canvassed. The
result shall be certified by the can
vassers Immediately upon the deter
mination thereof and be entered upon
the records of the town, village or city
and shall remain in effect until an
other election is held for the same
purpose.
The total number of votes cast in
this city for governor at the last cleo
tion was 1899 and it is thus necessary
to get 800 names signed to the petit
ton for an election to vote on the
license question. Those who have
circulated petitions claim that up to
date they have secured 300 names and
that the number will reach at least
1000

CONSULS SEEK MISSING MAN

Touched by the DesMoines and Of,
fcials Refer to the Case as One Of
Desertion From the Navy.

Officials of the United States govern
ment have completed the investigation
of the disappearance of Anthony
Schaefer, a Kenosha boy, who was en-
gineer on the battleship DesMoines and
who disappeared from the ship at one
of the Panama points early in Novem
Der, but the investigation has not re-
suited in the finding of Sehaefer and
the mystery attending the case is just
as great today as the day that Schaefer
was discovered to be missing. The
letters received from the government
officials indicate that the search made
has been thorough one and that con
suls at all ports along the canal zole
are still making an effort to find the
missing engineer. a full report of
the investigation mas been seat to
Charles A. Tarbell, who acted for Mrs.
Schaefer, the mother of the missing
man. This report is sent out by Lieu
tenant Commander H. A. Wiley of the
United States navy and the report in
full is as follows:

sailing from that port, November II,
sent general letter to the COM
manding officer at Camp Elliott, the
American Consul, and the police au-
thrities Of Colon, and Cbristobal but
no results were obtained.
"On receipt Of the bureau com
munication, I sent a wireless message
to Midshipman G. C. Barnes at Colon,

Speakers Nail Deluged with
Matrimonial Letters.

Ever since Busbey. Speaker Cannon's
secretary. gave out for publication a
letter the Speaker received from a young
woman in the Middle West who wanted
something done to provide husbands for
worthy girls like herself. Mr. Cannon s
daily mail has been cluttered with COM
munications On the subject of matrimony.
Uncle Joe's mail yesterday contained
a number OF interesting communications.
one from a young woman in Detroit, who
wants to meet the farmer who wrote
10 the Speaker the other day saying he
had 120 acres OF land and needed some
body to cheer him UP. The letter says:
Dear Mr.. Cannon; read about the
farmer living in Stewardsville, H.. who
has a 120-acre farm. am pretty girl
of eighteen years. I always intended to
live on a farm. So I will close. Hoping

big-hearted husbands are down at their
offices Shaving for them. So, Uncle Joe,

This matrimonial agency business, into
which Speaker Cannon seems 10 have
embarked somewhat involuntarily, IS
nearly worrying Secretary Busbey to
death. Up TO this time he has tried TO
acknowledge the letters.
