Demand to Be Made on Coun-
Gil That Brewery Agents
Secure Separate Licenses
CLAIM DISCRIMINATION NOW
Agents Who Have Paid License De
clare that City Must Exact Licenses
from all Men Engaged in the Whole
sale Trade in Kenosha.

The question Of saloon licenses seems
to be thoroughly agitated at this time
and it is declared that there are going
to be arrests Of wholesale dealers in
Kenosha who are doing business with
out licenses.
For a number of years there has
been fight on in Kenosha as to
whether the man who sells beer by
wholesale has a right to do business
in connection with a saloon working
under a retail License and some of the
men in the wholesale trade who do not
maintain bar-rooms in connection are
smarting under the collar and are de-
handing the arrest of other brewery
agents who handle their wholesale bust
mes from places where only retail IL
quor dealers licenses are granted. 1t
is declared that in some cases in the
city the wholesale business is carried
on by one man while the retail liquor
DEALER regular license is in the name
of another. It is claimed that there
are at least five wholesalers in the city
who are doing business without a Ii
cense and that some of the men who
have license to sell by wholesale
are really invading the retail trade.
Nhn ~
Kenosha, but it is being nightly stir
red just at the present time and it is
declared that prosecutions are to fol
low. When James German was mayor
Of the city he sought to test the right
of brewery agent to handle beer I'M
der a retail license, but he was retired
from Office before the test was com
pleted. The proposition is a serious
one as a conviction along these lines
might result in many of the men now
in the wholesale trade being forced to
give up their business.
The city council has issued the full
number Of licenses allowed under the
"Baker law and should the whole
salers now doing business under the
guise Of retail dealers licenses be fore
ed to get licenses it is thought that it
would be necessary for them to close
up some Of their existing saloons in
order to make it possible for the coun-
ell to issue the licenses sought. It is
certain that the council would issue
any number of wholesale licenses and
some of the brewery agents insist that
the city is not limited in the number
of wholesale licenses to be issued.
1t is certain that with strict in
depreciation Of the law the city Of Ke-
nosha could collect from seven to ten
thousand dollars annually for licenses
and not have any more saloons than at
the present time. Brewery agents who
have paid their licenses insist that
something must be done by the coun-
ell or they will go into court to force
the council by mandamus to collect
licenses for all wholesalers of beer.
They insist that any other arrange
ment is class legislation
It looks as if the contest over the
point would be exceedingly interest
ing and the council may be kept in hot
water for weeks before the matter is
settled.

Mrs. Nathan Miller Urges Police to
Search for Her Husband.

Chief Of Police Owen o Hare receiv-
ed pathetic letter this morning from
Mrs. Nathan Miller of Chicago, asking
that he make an effort to find some
trace of her husband in Kenosha. Mil

goth with the understanding that he
was coming to Kenosha to work at
his trade of tailor. He has not been
heard from since and his wife who is
now suffering from nervous prostration
on account of his continued absence
fears that he has met with foul play
or that he has been seriously injured
and that his condition is such that he
has been unable to communicate with
her. The police have made round
of the tailor shops in the CITY. but
have not been able to find any trace of
the missing man. Miller is a German

Sheboygan, 4; Kenosha, /.
Racine, 5; Port Washington, 3.
The Kenosha Lake Shore League
team dropped a game to the lead
ers of the league on Sunday af-
ternoon at Rambler Park when
they lost, to Sheboygan by score
Of four to one. The game was
won and lost in the first inning when
the Kenosha boys showed spirit Of
carelessness and Sheboygan was not
slow to take advantage of it and when
the first inning was over Sheboygan
had made more runs than the Kenosila
team could pile up in the entire nine
innings. Outside of this first inning
the game was great one. Brown and
Van Vie both pitched good ball and
both pitchers had good support outside
of the rather ragged support given the
Kenosha pitcher in the first inning.
Sheboygan got but five hits, the up
state players made every one of them
count. kenosha got but three hits and
only one Of them was for more than
a single base. Brown Struck out ten
men and he had perfect control at all
times. Van Vie struck out nine men.
Kenosha got it's only run of the game
in the last half of the seventh inning.

1t may be rather gruesome distinc-
ton for Kenosha to stand well up in
tue list of cities receiving large
amounts in death losses paid by the
life insurance companies but it shows
that Kenosha people had the good
sense not to cancel their insurance pol
icies when the whole country was torn
up over the Investigation of the insur-
ance companies some yeras ago. Those
investigations were productive of
much good in many ways but they also
did inealculable harm in soaring many
timid investors in life insurance into
eanceling their policies and leaving
their families without protection.

base IN producing houses and more
than producing other needed commodi-
ties, as commercial speculation; but
it must unfortunately be admitted that
modern competitive conditions are not
favorable to the maintenance Of a high
standard of excellence in design and
construction in the houses built by
speculative builders. Although there
are houses built speculatively which
reach high standard of design and
construction, these are in the minority.
There is no reason, however, why a
higher standard should not be general.

The County Crops.

During the past week rain fell over
a considerable area of this county, but
the most part the drought remains
unbrokcn. The fact that there has
not been general season since the
crops were planted is proving ruin
GUS to many farmers who have been
unable to secure stands of cotton and
just been replanted. 1t is estimated
that fully % per cent. of the cotton
crop in this county is not yet up. The
condition of the plant however, on the
other three fourths of the acreage is
excellent and is growing beautifully
Corn is doing fairly we'll but needs
rain as a general thing.

MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR FIRE TOURNAMENT
New Wagon has Been Recci,cl and
the Department is Having Daily
Prncticr

Practice.
The Laurens fire laddes are prac
tising daily, getting in trim for the
big tournament in Columbia the lat
ter part of this month. Saturday the
department received light new single
wagon for the boys to do few stunts
with. The new wagon has given new
life to the team and by the time that
the tournament opens the Laurens
boys expect to be in trim to take down
few trophies Both the double and
single wagons will be carried to Co
lumbia so that the team will be able
to enter larger number of the
events. The two big grays, Henry and
counts, are giving gooG account of
themselves, showing Improvement i'm
speed over last year. 1t has not been
decided yet which of the two will be
used in the single harness class. Each
horse is favorite with different mem
bers of the company and the specta-
tors who go out to watch the prac-
tlce and so far no decision has been
reached as to which is the faster. This
will be decided though tomorrow af
ternoon when the two will be timed
and the winner will take the single
wagon at the tournament.

ting down their past record with n

Other Matters Attended to.

AT the meeting of the citizens and

tional one mill tax to the three mill
tax which has heretofore been levied
on property within the district ito
meet the expenses of the city schools

reasons the income for school pur

In this connection it might be stat
ed, for the information of those who
are not familiar with the ways in
which the school money is disposed
