Navigation Delayed if North
Winds Blow at Straits of
Mackinaw Much Longer
LIFE SAVERS TO GO TO WORK

There is a prospect that the opening
of navigation on the great lakes will
be considerably delayed this year, ow-
ing to the heavy ice in the straits of
Mackinaw, the official report received
from Detroit semi-weekly by Capt. F.
Fountain of the life-saving station
showing that there is still % inches Of
ice there
This it is said, was more than was
present in the straits last year at this
time.
elf we have good southeast or
southwest wind for several days." said
an old mariner "the warm water from
the south will be driven through the
straits, causing the ice to honeycomb
and the continuous current will cause
the straits to open
con the other hand, should the wind
blow from the north for several days,
the cold water will be driven down
ward and put even more ice in the
straits. +"
Marine insurance goes into effect on
April Is, but in former years naviga-
ton has been opened earlier than this,
the boats making their trips at their
owners risks
The life-saving station will be open
ed at midnight on April l and the reg
ular physical examination of men will
be held ten days earlier. All of the
old crew will be back this year.
With the approach of the naviga-
tion season the question of the Lake
Seamen's strike is again being breach
ed. Although a year has passed since
the strike was first called no settle
ment has yet been reached. Posters
have made their appearance in Mil
waukee and other cities asking men to
keep away from vessels not unionized
The posters are signed by, officers of
the Lakes Seamen's union.

WATCH FOR FORGERS WILL KEEP UP FIGHT
Bankers Urged to Keep Close
Tab On Gang Working
North Shore Cities
GET CHECKS OF MANY BANKS

Bankers in Kenosha as well as in all
cities along the north shore are being
warned to look out for a band of check
forgers who are at work in the various
cities and it is claimed that the gang
is one of the most dangerous that has
ever operated in this section of the
country. Their work started less than
week ago and already they have
cashed fraudulent checks in many cities
and it is thought that a lot of similar
checks will turn up in the next few
days. 1t is known that these men are
worl king from a headquarters in Chi
cago and checks secured from banks
all over the territory are being used
to further their scheme for obtaining
money. It is alleged that the gang
has carefully prepared for it's work and
that members of the gang working in
the various cities have opened small
accounts in order to secure possession
of check books and that these books
are furnishing the blank checks used
in the forgeries. In most cases the
checks are being cashed in distant
states. One arrest has been made in
Racine, but the accused man refused to
make any statement. The check which
he cashed had been issued on a bank
in Racine and was in the shape Of a
slight draft.
In Waukesha, Highland Park and
other cities the same schemes haze been
tried and it is alleged that the forgers
have already managed to get away
with considerable amount of money.
Thus far the officials of the two
states have not been able to get any
information as to the leader Of the
gang or its headquarters, but it is
pretty certain that the headquarters
are in Chicago.
Thus far Kenosha banks have not
received any of the forged checks, but
the officials of the banks here are
closely scrutinizing all checks sent in
with view of preventing swindle.

GOES INSANE IN JAIL
John Litcia, a Racine Man Becomes In
sane After Being Arrested

John Litcia, Racine man, 81 years
OF age is being held at the county Jail
pending an examination into his men
tai condition. He was arrested sever
al days ago by the local police on
charges of intoxication, but later turn
ed out and last night he was found
wandering about the city. The man
seems to be suffering frow a religious
mania. Efforts have been made to To-
cate his relatives in Racine and it is
certain that he has family living in
that city. However, he is unable to
give any facts in regard to himself and
it is probable that petition for an
examination into his sanity will be fl
ed in the county court.

The Primary Election.

The primary election is over and the
people of the Republican and Demo
cratic party have selected their stan
dard bearers. Mayor Matthias j. Scholey
has been re-nominated by the Democ-
racy by a majority which leaves no
doubt of the fact that he is the choice
of the great rank and file Of the party
and Frank A. Marx has been named by
the Republicans There is no doubt
but that these men represent the great
preponderance of the sentiment of the
parties concerned and the issue is now
clearly defined The action Of the
men who fought the successful candl-
date of Democracy and fought him bit
terly in the primary can not be fore
casted, but it is useless for the Repub-
Leans of the city to speculate on what
they will or will not get from these
men. 1t is up to the Republican party
TO pull itself together and enter the
city fight with determination to give
to the Republican candidates that loyal
support that they are deserving of.
The majority of the party has spoken
and it is up to the rank and file as
well as the leaders to take this choice
as their choice and go out and show to
the people Of the city that the Re
publican party in Kenosha is still an
integral part of the political life of the
city. For the past four years the
city has been under the rule of Demo
Gratis. The records of these admins
trations are open to the public and an
examination Of them will furnish plen-
ty of material for a clean and open
campaign. There is no reason to bring
any outside issues into the campaign
and it can be made on basis of the
fitness of the candidates. The Re-
publican candidate for mayor is no
stranger in Kenosha. He has filed
official positions and filed them well
and he is entitled to every considera-
ton from his party and is worthy of
the closest scrutiny by the great mass
Of men in the city who are independent
Of any political color. The next two
weeks will settle the destiny of the
city of Kenosha for the. next two years
and it is up to the people who vote to
give to this question the same careful
consideration that they would give to
the demands of their own personal
business. Will you do it9

SOUND A WARNING
Housewives Urged to Be Care
full of Dust and SWeepings
to Avoid Consumption
COMMITTEE CAN SEE DANGER

"Dust, refuse and sweepings should
always be burned" says a warning
issued by the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis association. The warning is
particularly appropriate now, when
house-cleaning time approaches. Dust
lis one of the greatest communi-
Gators of consumption and the greatest
care should be exercised in its disposal
Now that furnaces and stoves are still
in use it is a simple matter to drop
sweepings, ETC., into the fire, few
drops of oil being added if necessary.
The use of feather busters and SINH
lar devices for sweeping and house
cleaning is urged against, they tending
to stir up dust. Damp cloths should
be substituted because they are more
sanitary and actually remove the dust
instead Of spreading it. Brushes should
be used in lieu of brooms. It is bet
ter to moisten dust by means of damp
paper tea leaves or sweeping com.
pounds.
Now that the vacuum cleaner is in
wide use for housekeeping, 1t is point
ed out that the refuse from the clean
ers should always be burned. BY
disposing of it in this way, instead of
throwing it into back alleys, disease
germs are not spread from house to

The spring season for awnings has
opened. In various parts of the city
owners of store buildings are putting
up awnings and the men in charge of
this work as well as the owners of the
property are asked to look up the law
which requires that all awnings shall
be at least seven feet above the side
walk. Little attention has been paid
to this ordinance in the past, but the
low awning is one of the greatest
nuisances to be found in Kenosha to-
day and the business man who is look
ing for trade should seek to keep his
prospective customers in good humor
by having the awnings placed high
enough.

house. This is especially important as
concerning particularly consumption
and pneumonia. It is not sufficient
for one to get the dust out of his own
home, but it should not be spread to
neighbors' homes.
Cooperation in this for self protec-
ton is urged.
In this season of high winds and
dusty streets it is particularly urged
that the public agitate for early street
sprinkling. Merchants protest against
dust because they wish to protect their
merchandise. When money or prop
erty loss is involved its easy to put
through a vigorous campaign for re-
form. Human life should be reckon
ed as at least equally valuable and
fight made for its protection.

There has been one fine assessed
against a roller skater on a charge of
disorderly conduct in the municipal
court and from the number of com
plants coming in there are other cases
which require the attention of the po-
lice. The children of the city get
lot of innocent amusement from their
roller skates and so long as they keep
away from the library and the hospital
we can see no objection to their using
the walks, but the gangs of young hood
lums who show no regard for the rights
of pedestrians on the walks will have
to be suppressed. They have been
making nuisances of themselves and
there is no reason why they should be
permitted to run over everybody just
because every one fears that it may
interfere with children's fun to COM
plain of them to the police. It is mis-
taken kindness for the children are
the very ones who need protection
from them most. The noise of the
skating may annoy some householders
but most of them are willing to put
up with it for the sake of the children
but they may be expected to demand
that all skating be stopped unless the
police can suppress the rowdyism which
is becoming so common of late.
