GoyernmentSends Out Regu-
lations toGoyern Handling
of Motor Boats On Lake
LIFE PRESERvERS DEMANDED

Captain George Hale, collector of
the port of Kenosha, has received
formal notice from the department of
commerce and labor at Washington de
handing that the governmental rules
in regard to the handling of motor
boats be followed to the letter. The
regulations are fixed by an act of con
gross which will go into effect on July
9th next and all owners of motor boats
must conform to these regulations when
the law goes into effect The regula-
tions which are now on file with Col
lector Hale provide for the strictest
regulation of the use of motor boats
with a view Of not only safeguarding
the lives Of people using these boats
but also the lives Of people who may
be on other vessels sailing the lake.
They demand that every motor boat
shall carry two lights, one showing a
white light and another red and
green light, and that they shall be
provided with whistles, gongs, or bells
which may be operated in such man
ner as to give warning of the approach
of the boats. 1t provides that the
boats shall be equipped with life pre-
servers and that they shall have a
suitable apparatus for the extinguish-
ing of fires which may start on board
the boats. The apparatus must be
especially suited for the extinguishing
of burning gasoline. If the boats are
over 65 feet in length they must have
licensed engineers and pilots in charge.
The regulations require that all Of
the larger boats shall be properly
registered with the collector OF the
home port and that the names Of the
boats be placed in a CONSPICUOUS place
on them, The motor boats regardless
of the size must carry books showing
the governmental provision in regard
to the operation of the motor boats.
The last few years has seen the intro
duction Of many motor boats IN the
Kenosha waters and It is said that
there are now half dozen Of these
boats running out of Kenosha. All
Of them will be subject to the new
regulations,

Henry Tourtelotte, Widely
known in Co, Asks Release
From Belle Tourtelotte
ROMANTIC MARRIAGE FAILS

Quite a little stir has been caused
in the towns of Pleasant Prairie and
Bristol by the announcement that
Henry A. Tourtelotte through his at
torneys, Cavanagh and Barnes. has fl
ed an action for divorce from his wife,
Belle Tourtelotte. The summons and
complaint in the suit was filed with
the clerk Of the circuit court this
morning. The grounds are desertion
and the plaintiff declares that he has
not lived with his wife since April
of 1908.
The marriage of Mr.. Tourtelotte and
Miss Belle Whitley took place in 1903,
the ceremony being performed by the
Hon. Russell H. Slosson in the county
court. It was sort of an October
and May romance, Mr.. Tourtelotte be-
ing Sc years of age at the time and
his wife twenty-five. It was the third
marriage of Mr.. Tourtelotte and the
romance caused quite little comment
among the people of that section Of
the county.
According 80 the complaint fled by
the husband the marriage was failure
and after he had lived with his young
wife for five years he alleges that she
left his home without any cause or
provocation and that since that time
he has lived entirely apart from her.
The suit viii probably come up for
trial at the September term of the cir
cult court and it is understood that
it will not be contested by the wife
who is now living with relatives in the
town of Bristol. On account of the
fact that both the husband and wife
are widely known throughout the
county the hearing of the suit will be
watched with interest.

and the moral and social injuries re
sulting from their labor, the girls
commonly earn from So to $4 a week,
and the boys from So to S. week.
Although not over one-fourth Of the
families investigated could have been
adequately supported by the wages Of
the fathers alone, not more than forty
five per cent of the children were work
ing because of family necessity. In
about half the latter cases the family
received no support from the father,
on account Of his death, desertion, or
disability, but five out of every eight
of the children investigated had older
brothers or sisters who were also at
work 1t is for this reason that the
exceptionally large families prove to
be rarely in distress, while the greatest
percentage Of need is found in the
case Of families of less than four
members.
g" Under present conditions there ap-
pears to be no escape from the necessi-
ty of child labor in a considerable
minority Of cases. On the other hand,
the accumulations Of property for
parents, poor health, discomfort with
school, the ill-adaptation of the schools
to the needs of all children, and am
bition or desire for money on the part
of the children, account for more than
half the cases Of child labor"

STATE CANDIDATES VERY BUSY
Old fractional Lines Seem to Have Dis
appeared Entirely so Far as Keno
sha County is Concerned Papers
Going Slowly,

Politicians in Kenosha county seem
to be of waiting disposition and not
withstanding the fact that the county
is being well covered with petitions
for the nomination of candidates for
state Offices on the Republican ticket
the candidates for county offices are
decidedly slow to enter the field.
Papers have been in circulation in the
county for more than two weeks, but
as yet not single Republican candi-
date has taken out papers as candi
date for sheriff. Deputy Sheriff James
Nielsen of Somers has served notice
on his constituents that he will be a
candidate but he is evidently waiting
for some of the other candidates to
take the lead. Petitions have been
taken out for the denomination of
County Clerk Russell H. Jones, Reg s.
ter of Deeds P. G. Torrey, and Clerk
of the Circuit Court Frank Waldo, but
these petitions have not been cifculat-
ed generally throughout the county and
they are simply being given out as
sought by the 'ose political friends
of the candidates. Andrew Stahl and
Edward Donahue have taken out pap
ers as Democratic candidates for the
Office of sheriff and George Kreuscher
of Paris has notified the county clerk
that his petitions for this nomination
will be sent out within another week.
B. M. Schilz Of Wheatland, the old
reliable candidate of the Democracy
has not as yet taken out papers, but
it is regarded as certain that he vii
be in the race. The only real fight
is on for the Office Of county treasurer.
A. T. Dorothy, Philip Hartman, Jr., and
Raymond Powell, the latter of Pleas
ant Prairie, have papers in circulation
and it is said that William Schnlitz
who has twice sought this nomination
on the Republican ticket will enter
the field later Andrew Anderson is
candidate for the Democratic no,ni-
nation for sheriff, but as yet has not
taken out his papers.
Assemblyman Curtiss is another one
of the supposed candidates who is
holding back, but Charles i. Marsh,
who is to oppose the Trevor solon, has
papers ready to send out just as soon
as the campaign livens up q bit.
From the manner in which state can
didates papers have been signed i'll
this county it is evident that the frae-
tional war is over so far as Kenosha
county is concerned. Many men who
were rated as dyed in the wool stall
warts have signed papers for the nolni-
nation of men who were with the half
breeds in the recent unpleasantness
while half breeds have shown will
ingness to sign as sponsors for men
who were regarded as their political
enemies in past years.
1t is expected that before the end
of another week there will be a great
rush Of the candidates and that the
campaign will take on interest after
that time.

He IS STILL UNDECIDED
Madison State Journal in Editorial
Calls on the Governor to Enter the
Field as Candidate and Pledges
Support of the State.

Ardent supporters of the third-term
idea for Governor James O. Davidson,
sentiment for whose candidacy centers
in the capitol city, seem to have
found way in which they possibly can
get their favorite into the gubernatori-
al race at the primary. Mindful of the
fact that the recent 1oyalty-to-Taft' =
conference was careful not to pass
upon the desirability of any candi-
dates for office, those most enthusiastic
in behalf of the governor believe that
if the Campaign committee" named
at the conference can be persuaded to
call regular convention, the present
state executive can be endorsed with
a whoop. Therefore, there has been
no cessation of activity in the circula
tion of Governor Davidson S nomina-
tion papers, even though the governor
has remained silent regarding his pos
sible candidacy and Senator Fairchild,
of Milwaukee, seems to have the ma
jority of the stalwart" support. =
Although this movement for another
" convention" has been apparent for
several days in the talk of conserva-
tive politicians, it becomes more GER
tain with the publication of an edi-
torial in the Madison State Journal,
entitled Davidson or Fairchild." I'm
doubtedly speaking by the card, the
Journal says:
"There is irrepressible demand that
Gov. Davidson head the Taft Republi-
can state ticket this fall. In north
ern Wisconsin he is the one choice.
Throughout the state the major senti-
ment is for him. But Senator Fair
child is in the field. He has made
his claims to recognition substantial
by the efforts he has put forth in press
ing his candidacy In
order that Republicans who subscribe
to the conference platform register
themselves effectively at the primaries,
they must join forces in the support of
one candidate for the governorship.
This can be done only by submitting
the cause Of the candidates to tri-
bunal that fairly represents those Re
publicans And such a tribunal will
be a regularly constituted Taft Re
publican convention The
man endorsed by the convention would
be entitled to the full support of the
Taft Republicans at the primaries-be
that Candidate Senator Fairchild, or
Governor Davidson or some other can
didate Holding such con
vention is the only course by which
present divisions can be eliminated. y
The editorial closes with the observa-
tion that the saving of expense entail
ed by a regular primary campaign to
the contestants alone warrants the
holding of convention.
Governor Davidson continues to re-
main silent as to his plans, but he has
not requested that his friends desist
in their circulation of his nomination
papers.
