The city authorities should demon
strate what that new ordinance is good
for the next time a sand sucker ig-
nores it. If the present law is good
for nothing as the owners of these
boats appear to believe the council will
have to go to work on another one
without delay for it is ridiculous that
these sand men can defy the whole
power of the city of Kenosha. The
city attorney is confident that our ordi-
nance which is similar to those of other
cities along the lake shore which have
stood the test of the courts is broad
enough to cover all of these cases and
he will doubtless endeavor to demon
strate that his opinion is the correct
one at the very first opportunity.
If these suckers keep on working it
will not be long before the city will
have to build breakwater to protect
its bathing beach and it is not to be
thought of that this city should go to
all that expense for the accommodation
of these outside sand companies

AS promptly as possible, no doubt,
the postmaster general, secretary of the
treasury and attorney general will set
up the postal savings bank system au-
thorized by the bill that passed the SEN
ate in June. A danger of some magni-
tude will at once confront the new sys-
tenn. 1t is possible that IN localities
where savings bank facilities are now
inadequate, or of a questionable sort,
small depositors may withdraw various
sums from the privately owned banks
and turn them over to the postofice.
In which case, presumably, bankers will
renew their opposition to the bill with
increased yigor at the next session Of
congress.
For a. great many people are still i'm
bued with the theory that this govern
ment has no moral right to interfere
with any individually chance to earn an
honest dollar-no matter how much
that interference may promote the
chances of other individuals to save an
honest dollar. To give every man the
greatest possible opportunity to better
his own individual condition has been
described by an acute observer as the
constant ideal of government in the
United States. Individualists interpret
this as meaning that man who has al,
ready seized an opportunity is entitled
to keep it, although many other men
may thereby be deprived of opportunity
to, better their condition. The United
States is almost the last among civiliz-
ed nations to establish postal savings
banks. The system has been urged for
forty years. Even after both parties
had formally declared for it, power
full effort was necessary to set the en-
abling bill, in any to1erable form,
through congress. And there was only
one real objection namely, that it
might, in some small degree interfere
with the bankers opportunities for
profits. A great many bankers really
think the government has TO right TO
do that in any degree whatsoever, no
matter what the benefit TO the general
public.--saturday Post.

HoRL1CK FOR LIEUTENANT GOV.
Racine Man Being Suggested as Pos
sible Candidate of the Republicans.

A. j. Horlick of Racine, mayor of
that city and widely known throughout
the state, is being suggested as a pos
sible candidate of the Republican party
for lieutenant governor. Mayor Hor-
lick has not as yet made any state
ment of his stand on the question. 1t
is proposed to run him for lieutenant
governor with Governor James O. DAY.
idson as candidate for reelection and
it is declared that should this arrange
ment be made there would be at least
one of the present candidates for gov
ernor who would retire from the race.
Racine people take kindly to the sug-
gestion that the Racine mayor be nam
ed for second place on the Republican
ticket and it is possible that cam
paign committee will be named to boost
this alliance.

The ruling Of the internal revenue
department that the government liquor
license must be paid by drug stores
handling certain brands of so called
medicines composed principally of al
cohol is one of the most important
made in years by the department. 1t
will not only increase the receipts of
the department very materially but will
to a great extent stop the sale of these
compounds in "dry territory" where
they are extensively used. 1t needs but
a glance at the order books of these
drug stores whenever a section of the
country goes dry in which they are To-
Gated to establish the fact that these
compounds are used extensively as a
substitute for whiskey and other al
coholic beverages prohibited by law to
be sold there and it would be infinitely
better for the health of the users to be
permitted to use regular whiskey brand
ed and inspected by the government
rather than to permit the use of these
"medicines' made of the very cheap
est and poorest materials.

We have been hearing a great deal
lately about the danger of failure
to get out twenty per cent Of the vote
at the coming primary with the result
that the party which fails to register
the required number of votes will not
be allowed to place it's candidates on
the ballot under their party designa-
tions at the regular election. Upon an
examination of the figures, however,
it looks very much as though the dan
ger, especially so far as this county
is concerned is more imaginary than
real, always provided that there is any
kind of a party organization to check
up and bring out the vote. At the last
general election on the returns from
which the twenty per cent rule must
be based the Republicans cast 1901
votes and the Democrats POOL in the
county. On these figures the twenty
per cent rule calls for 762 votes for
the Republicans and 401 for the Dem
ocrats and with the interest which will
be taken in the senatorial fight, the
nomination for governor and the county
option issue there does not seem to be
much danger that the required number
of voters will not come to the polls on
primary election day, not to mention the
hot battles for nominations for local
offices which may be expected to de-
velope in both parties before election
day.

GOES INTO BANKRUPTCY
Otto Beyersdorfer Files Voluntary Petit
ton in United States Court.

In the United States court for the
Eastern District, in Milwaukee this
morning Otto Beyersdorfer filed a vol
untary petition in bankruptcy. It had
been expected that the affairs of the
market on Park street would be closed
up without this formality but in order
to give all creditors an equal chance it
was decided to take the matter of the
settlement of the affairs of the market
into the bankruptcy courts. The liabili-
ties are placed at $1,471 and the assets
made up largely of book accounts and
fixtures of the market at little less
than this amount. The Nelson Morris
Company of Chicago is the largest ere
ditor it's claim amounting to a little
over $500. The fact that this COM
pany claimed to be a preferred creditor
caused the filing of the petition today.

While The desire Of the Republican
candidates to have as short a primary
campaign as possible can be easily I'M
derstood they should not run the thing
too fine. At least ten days campaign
will be necessary to get the party vote
out at the primaries and with a, host
of Democratic candidates in the field,
all Of whom have their personal friends
among the Republicans who are being
pledged to vote for them at the prim-
aries, the Republican candidates may
find that they will have to hustle to get
out the twenty per cent vote required
by law in order to get their names on
the regular ticket under the party des
ignation if they delay too long.

BOYS SEEK HEROIC RESCUE
Man Had Been Swimming With Three
Friends When He Was Caught and
Drowned Before Aid Gould Reach
Him

The sink hole at the entrance of Pike
river into Lake Michigan claimed an
other victim on Sunday afternoon just
before clock when Andrew Havalda
an Austrian was drowned while in bath
ing. The drowning of the man was wit
messed by many people who were walk
ing along the banks of the river and
the body was recovered shortly after
the man went down for the last time.
A physician was summoned from the
Pennoyer Sanitarium and vigorous eff
forts were made to revive the man but
it is thought that life was extinct when
he was removed from the water. Hal
aida was "a years of age and unmar=
ried and resided with his brother at
566 Grand avenue. Just after noon
Sunday with his brother and two other
men he had gone to the river bathing.
The four men had all been in the water
for some time when Havalda got caught
in the deep water and it is supposed
that he was taken with cramps. The
dead man could swim but he was not
an expert and when he got into the
deep water he seemed to sink without
making any effort to save himself. He
did not cry out for help and his brother
and other companions saw him sink
beneath the water. He never came up
again. The water at the point is about
sixteen feet deep and as soon as the
man went down Stanley Lewandowski
and Fred Tresener who had witnessed
the accident went to the aid of Hav-
aida and after some time they managed
to get hold of the body and drag it into
the shallow water just before the mem
bers of the life saving crew who had
been summoned arrived. The body was
taken from the water and efforts made
to resusitate the man after which the
remains were removed to the Hansen
morgue. Neither Coroner Andre nor
Justice George B. McCarron were in the
city and at the orders of the Judge of
the municipal court the remains were
prepared for burial This morning an
inquest was held by Justice McCarron
and the jury returned verdict Of &C
cidental death.
Havalda had resided in Kenosha for
The past two years and had worked at
the Kenosha factories. He has ty5o
brothers and three sisters living in
Kenosha.
The funeral will be held from the
German Lutheran church on next Sun
day afternoon and the remains will be
inferred at the Kenosha City cemetery
The sink hole at the mouth of the
river has claimed more than dozen
victims in the past ten years and there
seems to be no way to mark the place
so as to prevent bathers getting into
it. An effort will be made to have
signs put up to show the bathers their
danger.

SEE BLACK HAND PLOT
Three Italians Sought Oh
Charge Of Attempt to Muir
der Racine Italian
USED REVOLVER AND KNIFE

Racine and Kenosha police officers
see signs of Black Hand plot in con
nection with the attempted murder of
Antonio Bonadio Racine Italian in
front of the Denmark Brothers saloon
in that city on Sunday afternoon. 1t
is claimed that three Kenosha men
John Fragale and his two sons, Mich
ael Fragale and Giuseppe Fragale were
the assailants of the man and they es-
capped from the police of Racine and
are said to be in hiding in Keonsha.
The members of the Fragile family live
at IS Rice avenue but they have not
been seen in Kenosha since Sunday
morning when they left for Racine for
visit with some Italian friends. Ra-
cine and Kenosha police united in an
effort to get some trace Of the Italians
on Sunday evening but failed to find
any trace of them and the hunt is be-
ing continued this afternoon. It is
claimed that the shooting and stabbing
of the Racine man was the result of
a. feud between families which began
in Italy years ago and the conditions
of the crime are such as to raise the
old cry of 'Black Hand" in connec-
ton with the crime.
Bonadio the wounded man is now
at the st. Mary hospital in Racine and
while his condition is regarded as cri-
tical the physicians claim that there is
a chance for him to recover.
Bonadio and the Kenosha' men were
relatives and the Fragales went to Ra-
cine on Sunday morning for a visit
with the Racine man. The four had
been drinking more or less during the
day and just after o CLOCK in the aft
ernoon they raked up an old quarrel
which had been started in Italy many
years ago. In the discussion it is al
legged the men came to blows and Bon
ado is alleged to have struck one of
the Kenosha men. With this it is al
legged that one of the Fragile boys
drew revolver and began firing. One
of the bullets passed through the calf
of Bonadio's leg while another struck
him in the breast near the heart. Be
fore Bonadio fell it is alleged that the
elder Fragile plunged a knife into the
back of Bonadio inficting a very dan
gerous wound. The three Kenosha men
escaped during the excitement and
when the police of Racine arrived to
pick up the badly wounded Bonadio
no trace of them could be found.
It was claimed that the three men
took car and came to their boarding
house in Kenosha but this is doubted
by the Kenosha police officers. The To-
cal officials were not notified Of the
crime until the Racine officials reached
Kenosha late Sunday afternoon in
search of the Fragile family
Italians in Kenosha admit that there
had been trouble between the Kenosha
Italians and Bonadio for some time but
they claim that the feud was one of a
family nature and they scott at the
idea that there is any black hand So
ciety connected with the crime.

The Ashland avenue property owners
have every right to kick ON the condi-
tion of their street and if there is any
truth in the rumors now flying about
the city they will have further occas-
ion to show their powers as fighters
and their nerve in standing up against
the gang in the council before their
paving is completed. The latest com
plant comes from the action of the
city in scattering the asphaltum bar
rels at intervals all along the street
inside the curbing. This material had
to be removed from the city lot in or
der to clear the way for the building
of the new city hall but inasmuch as
it is the very last stuff to be used on
the paving job the Ashland avenue
people are unable to see the necessity
of decorating?" their street with
these barrels during the weeks that
must intervene before the asphaltum
can be used by the contractor How
ever unless there is a decided change
