Uncle Sans New Savings
Bank Will Encourage
Thrift Among Children
PERFECT PLANS AT MEETING

A silver 10 cent piece will be all
that you will need to start savings
account with Uncle Sam when the
new postal savings banks are in
stalled throughout the country. The
plan is this:
Uncle Sam wants to encourage
thrift among persons earning small
wages. He wants the child as well
as the grown up, to learn to save.
Many persons spend their pennies.
The postal bank will receive only regu-
lar deposits of 81.
To encourage the savings of the
squandered pennies, however, the pos
tai savings bank will issue card
representing 10 cents. Then Hfpostal
saving stamps will be sold at 2
cents each. When the card is filed
with stamps it will be accepted at the
postal savings bank as a 81 deposit
and placed to the account of the de-
position.
Some of the features of the postal
savings bank law are:
Children over 10 years old may open
accounts.
Married women may have accounts in
their own names and free from control
or interference from their husbands.
No one will be allowed to deposit
more than 800 in any one calendar
month.
The balance to the credit of any
person shall never exceed $500, ex-
elusive of accumulated interest.
Interest of 2 per cent per annum
will be paid on all deposits, but no
interest will be allowed on fractions
of ST..
Plans with respect to putting the
postal savings bank into operation will
be discussed at the last meeting of the
season of the cabinet with President
Taft in Washington.
Following this meeting the board of
trustees, consisting of the Postmaster
General Secretary of the Treasury and
Attorney General, designated under tho
law for the control, supervision and
administration of the postal savings
repositories, viii meet and map out
a systematic program.
While no time will be lost In ar
ranging preliminaries it is not thought
feasible, according to a statement of
Postmaster General Hitchcock yester-
day, to establish repositories for sew
eral month";

District Attorneys of the
State Would Have Terms
Fixed for Four Years
PRESENT BILL TO LEGISLATURE

Resolutions asking that the election
of the district attorney be changed
from the fall to the spring election
and that the term of office be increased
from two to four years, were adopted
by the meeting of the State District
Attorneys association at the Plankin-
ton house, Milwaukee, yesterday.
The officials believe better men
could be selected and better results Sc
cured by the change. They believe that
a man in the office of district attorney
under the two-year provision has to
spend entirely too much time dickering
in politics to give the best possible re-
suits to the office itself.
Judge August G. Backus of Milwau-
kee, who has been president of the
association, resigned after calling the
meeting to order. L. R. Linard of
Green Lake, was elected to succeed him.
G. A. A. MCGEE of Milwaukee was
named vice president; Daniel Nc Don
aid of Oshkosh, secretary; and Roman
Mason, Madison, treasurer.
After lengthy discussion Of the
methods of criminal practice, a spe-
cial committee, with Mr.. Mason as
chairman, was appointed to consider
any changes that might be deemed nee
essary or beneficial. A second meet
ing was held this morning, at which
time the discussion on criminal law
legislation will be continued

WILL ERECT MONUMENTS.
Graves of Chief Justices at Madison
and Waukesha to Ee Marked.

By the close of the year it is ex-
pected that monuments will have been
placed on the unmarked graves of
Luther S. Dixon and Edward G.. Ryan,
former chief justices of the supreme
court Of Wisconsin, one of whom is
buried in Milwaukee, and the other in
Madison.
President James G. Flanders of the
State Bar Association, has received
from Chairman r. D. Marshall of the
state supreme court, head of a COM
mittee appointed to accumulate and adj
minister fund for the purpose, re-
port of progress of work.
Responses to invitations to contri-
butte have been liberal, particularly
from Milwaukee and Madison, this city
giving about 81 900 and Madison about
5000. Contributions from former resi-
dents and other non-residents amount
to about $3.50. Citizens of the state,
not members of the legal profession,
have contributed in sums from $40 to
800, giving total from this source of
about $1,000
Total subscriptions reach nearly
$1,000, which will be placed at interest
and will with other contributions, prob
ably reach $1,000 within short time.
1t is intended to devote $4,000 to each
monument, 5000 to two trust funds to
insure proper care of burial lots and
monuments in perpetuity, and $500 for
markers for twelve unmarked graves
of the families of the deceased justices
and improving appearance of the lots.

FOREIGN TRADE CROWS

The foreign imports of the city of
Kenosha made new record during the
month of June and the report of the
collector of the port shows that in the
month five sailing vessels and one steam
er have arrived in Kenosha from Can
adam ports All of them were loaded
with tan bark for the n. R. Allen s
Company. The cargoes consisted of
], 365 cords of bark. The five vessels
all cleared for Canadian ports and they
will be kept on this run during the
season. The increase in the amount of
tan bark brought in from Canada prom
ises to make big increase in the ton
age of the Kenosha harbor. The Allen
Company is now purchasing large
of bark in Canada and all of
it being brought to Kenosha by lake.
As there is no duty to be collected on
the bark the local collector S receipts
are not largely increased by the increase
in the imports of the port.

SUICIDE BRINGS MADNESS.
Mrs. Lille Hinkel of Rome, Wis, Ad-
Indicated Insane in County Court.

Mrs. Lille Hinkel, aged A years
said to be we'll known woman of Rome,
Jefferson County, Wisconsin, was ad-
Indicated insane in the county court
of Kenosha County, Wednesday after
noon and taken to the State Hospital
for the insane at Mendoza this morning.
The case is an unusual one. Mrs. Hin
KEEL had been suffering from decisions
that some one was attempting to poi
son her and thinking that change of
scene might improve her condition she
was brought to Kenosha three days
ago. Since >that time she had grown
violent. 1t is said that the condition
of her faculties was brought about by
grieving over the death of her hus-
band who committed suicide at Rome
in February of this year. Mrs. Hinkel
will be received into the state institu-
ton as a private patient and no charge
for her care will be made against this
county.

WOULD STOP TYPHOID FEVER
Samples of Lake Water From All Larger
Cities Along the Lake TO Be Tested
in State Hygenic Laboratories in
Madison.

The Kenosha health department will
collect samples of water from different
points along the shores of Lake Mich
gan near here, and send them to the
state hygienic laboratory at Madison,
where they will be analysed and the
impurities pointed out The state de-
partment has written Health Officer j.
B. Spalding asking his cooperation in
securing samples of the water.
Buoys will be placed in the lake near
the point where the intake of the Ken,
osha water supply is located. The local
department will make arrangements to
take samples of the water near these
buoys which will be sent to the labora-
tory. There the water will be analysed.
The results Of the analysis will be plac-
ed at the disposition Of the Kenosha
health department.
The buoys will be placed about a
mile from shore. Samples will be taken
three times a week for about two
months. In order to get the samples
it will be necessary to engage boat
to take an officer out to the buoys
where the sample may be taken. An
expert from the state department will
arrive in Kenosha in few days to
make all arrangements for the tests.
The state board is working in con
nection with the Lake Michigan SAM
tary commission. At present, tests are
being made along the Milwaukee shore,
but the department expects to take in
every Wisconsin city which secures it's
water supply from Lake Michigan.
The epidemic of typhoid fever which
has been prevailing in Milwaukee has
caused CONSERVATION in many cities
along the shore of Lake Michigan. The
prevalence of the disease is attri-
buted to the water supply.
Thus far Kenosha has been compare
lively free from typhoid. There are
few cases here at this time There has
not been a death resulting from this
disease for weeks. However, it is
thought that with the summer weather
now here, the residents of the city can
not be safeguarded too much from this
ailment.

DR.. F. E. Andre Takes Out Petitions as
Candidate for Republican Nomination

DR.. Frank E. Andre will seek to sue
coed himself in the Office Of coroner and
Thursday he took out petitions as a
Republican candidate for the office.
Dr. Andre has served as coroner of
the county for two terms and it is not
thought that there will be any opposi-
ton to his candidacy. Thus far no
Democratic candidate for the office has
come into the field but it is said that
DR.. George E. Thompson will be a,
candidate.
Nomination papers are still going out
very slowly and as yet no petitions
have been taken out by any candidate
for sheriff on the Republican ticket.

CARRIER DISTRICTS EXTENDED
People Living in Rice Park Get Bene-
fits of Free Mail Delivery Now,

People Living Ill Rice Park Get Bene-
fits of Free Mail Delivery Now.
By an order promulgated on Wednes-
day by Postmaster John B. Maloney
people living in Rice Park will have
the privileges of free delivery of mail.
The carrier districts on Middle, Linden
and Ridge streets and on Rice avenue
have been extended and two deliveries
will be made daily over the extended
districts. The people in this part of
the city have been urging free delivery
of mail for many months and they are
elated over the new order of the post
master. No addition to the force is
authorized to take care of the in
creased district but it is possible that
new carriers will be put on later and
a readjustment of routes made.
The old order of the government
providing that a carrier may not work
over eight hours day has been res
ended and the new order provides that
they shall work practically eight
hours a day with the understanding
that they can not work more than As
hours a week. This will give the car
riers a chance to cover their entire
territory in the time allowed by the
regulations of the office.

DEATH or 'SCHIEWE ACCIDENTAL
Jury Declares That Evidence in the
Case Shows THAI Gritzbaugh Gould
Not Have Avoided Striking the Boy
Under Circumstances

William Gritzbaugh, driver for the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company who was
driving the automobile which struck
and fatally injured Edward Schiewe on
Prairie avenue was exonerated from
all blame by coroner's inquest held
sat the municipal court on Wednesday
tevening and after hearing all the evil
dence in the case the jury rendered
verdict finding that the boy came to his
death from injuries received in being
Sstruck by an automobile and that in
the opinion of the jury the accident
was an unavoidable one.
The evidence as produced all tended
to show that the accident was one
which could not have been avoided.
Evidence was given by four men who
had been in the car which struck the
boy and these men all declared that
the car was running at a low rate of
speed most of them placing the speed
at from ten to twelve miles an hour
They also testified that Gritzbaugh had
sounded the horn at least twice in
warning to the boy and that he had
slowed down the car before the bow
was struck. Gritzbaugh himself was on
the stand but he did not testify as to
the speed of the car but stated that
he was certain that he had sounded
the horn once but not that it had been
sounded twice. The men in the car
who were present at the inquest in
Guided John ErWood of Chicago, me-
chanical engineer employed by The
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company; William
Crear, mason contractor from Chi
cago; Anton Barwig of Chicago and
Clyde L. Nelson a salesman from Lena,
Ill. All of the men told practically the
same story. They stated that the boy
had crossed the street from the north
and then had walked back to the north
side of the street and turned suddenly
and started to go to the south side of
the street. Gritzbaugh testified that
the boy was in the center of the street
when he was struck by the automobile.
The testimony Of the men in the car
was corroborated by Mrs. L. H. Hol-
brook and Joseph Hertsberger both eye
witnesses of the accident. These wit
nesses stated that the car was not run
ming at very high rate of speed.
The mother of the dead boy was also
called as a witness and she testified
that the boy had not been strong since
he was eight years of age and that he
had never attended school. She insist
ed, however, that he was not mentally
weak. Several other witnesses had
been summoned to the inquest but they
were not called as the evidence taken
was sufficient for the jury to base a
verdict of accidental death.
Under the holding of the jury it is
probable that no steps will be taken to
prosecute Gritzbaugh the driver of the
car. Gritzbaugh has always had the
reputation of being good driver and
he asserted at the inquest that he took
every possible precaution to prevent
the accident but that the boy came in
front of the ear when it was too late
to bring the car to stop and prevent
his being struck.
