RECALL GUNS
ARE FIRED

The opening gun in the cam
paign for recall of the present city
commissioner of public safety and
the regeneration of the whole city
commission was fired at the First
Congregational church last night.
Judge U. Z. Harmon, f.. A. Ma
gill, Charles Drury and Il. ID.
Hodge discussed conditions in Ia
coma.
Judge Harmon made the start
ling statement that not more pub
lie officials in the state than might
be counted on one hand can be re-
lied upon to voluntarily go out
and enforce the law against the
immoral elements without pres
sure from the outside. This is
notwithstanding the fact that the
people are paying them to do that
very thing.
He wanted an arousing of the
public conscience so that this con-
dition will be remedied.
Drury declared that II people
knew the conditions existing in
this city with reference to vice
there would be an explosion in
short order.
Magill pleaded for one stand
ard of morals for men and women
and said things had reached a
stage in Tacoma when an uprising
of the people was demanded.

Such are admitted to be the
elements of weakness in Taft's
candidacy. Opposed to these
are the facts that he has the con-
fidence of the powerful business
interests generally spoken of as
Wall street; that there is a strong
sentiment in favor of giving any
president a second term, and that
the regulars in his party favor his
denomination. But contributing
much more powerfully to the
chances of Taft's denomination
are these facts:
ID That the republican organ
ization is controlled by Big Bust
ness;
(2) That the southern dele
gates are brought under Taft con-
troll by federal patronage and
cash;
CD That the southern dele
gates combined with the delegates
who can be delivered by state
machines controlled by such as
Penrose, Lorimer, Crane, Aldrioh,
Carter and Warren, make up two.
thirds of the delegates in the con-
vention.
In short, Taft's nomination cam
be forced by the combination of
machine politicians and Big Bust
ness.
Will it?
That is another question.

nency of the store opened by the COM
pany in Kenosha. The manager de-
clared that the company would keep
the store open for at least six months
and that the store would be perma-

FILES BOND OF $4,000
Charges Against Kenosha and Chicago
Attorney Made by Edward Gnatzig
of WATERFOWL Following a Real
Estate Deal Between the Men.
tier Marshall Cowell of Kenosha

Walter Marshall Cowell of Kenosha
and Chicago, has been arrested by
Sheriff Andrew H. Stahl on a civil war
rant issued by Judge Belden in the cir
cult court and he has furnished bonds
in the amount of $4,000 to secure his
presence within the jurisdiction of the
court pending the disposal of suit
brought against him by Edward Gnat-
zig OF WatertOWn. The suit is brought
in the circuit court for Kenosha county
and it is the outgrowth of number
of land deals between Cowell and Gnat-
zig. Mr.. Cowell went to the circuit
court just as soon as he was notified
that the civil warrant had been is
sued for his arrest and filed bonds sign
ed by Z. II. Hollister and Elizabeth
Cowell for the amount demanded by
the court in the civil warrant. 1t is
possible that the action will not be
taken up until the September term of
the circuit court.
The complaint in the case covers
many pages of typewriter matter and
charges the Kenosha man with lmisrep-
resenting property which he is alleged
to have unloaded on Gnatzig in trades
made during the past few years. Gnat-
zig went into court and put up bond
of $25 to secure the costs of the action
and on the showing made in the com
plant and in atfidavits made by the
plaintiff the civil warrant was issued.
Mr.. Cowell could not be found today
when an interview was sought, but
Attorney Henry J. Hastings Of the firm
of Hastings and Clarkson, representing
Cowell, declared that the suit was
"holdup." He insisted that it was
simply case Of "Greek meeting
Creek and that the man from Water
town was squealing. The action was
not in any way a surprise to Cowell as
there have been threats of such an
action for some time and it was expect
ed that the papers in the case would
have been filed before this time.
The complaint shows that Cowell
traded certain property in Kenosha for
property in this and other states and
the plaintiff charges that in making
the deal Mr.. Cowell misrepresented the
value of the property. The property
traded was under mortgage and it is
alleged that its true value was not
stated at the time the deal was made,
but Coweil placed upon it a fictitious
value.
The attorneys for Cowell have not as
yet filed any answer in the case, but
it is declared that it will be bitterly
contested.

MARRIED UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Italian Bride of Kenosha Man Held Up
at Ellis Island by Federal Officials.

Miss Julia Amato, until three weeks
ago resident of Italy, was the bride
at a wedding at the municipal court on
Saturday evening when after many diff
fculties she became the wife of Car
nina Principe Of Kenosha. The we'd
ding was the elimination of a romance
which began in Italy years ago. Ar
rangements for the wedding had been
made and the bride started for Keno
sha, but when she arrived at Ellis Is
land at New York she was held by the
federal officials on account of the con-
dition of her health. She pleaded for
release informing the officials that she
was to be married on Saturday, but be-
fore the officials allowed her to proceed
to Kenosha it was demanded that the
husband make an affidavit that the
wedding would take place as soon as
she reached Kenosha. Miss Amato
reached Kenosha Saturday evening and
an hour later she became the bride of
Principe. The wedding was the cause
of a great celebration in the Italian
colony of the city.

Otto Hanson, well known young
carpenter of the city, was the victim
of a mysterious shooting ARRAY in the

Sunday night when two shots were fred
at him from an ambush at the corner
of the Burlington and Wood roads,

three weeks ago nine shots were fred
at him. Hanson had been out in the
town of Somers spending the evening
with a young lady who resides short
distance from where the shooting took
place. He had started for home Just
few minutes before the shooting. It
is certain that the shots were aimed
for him as he saw the flash of the re-
volver which indicated that the man
who fired the shots was concealed in
bunch of bushes at the side of the road.
Hanson went TO the nearest house and
secured aid and an effort was made to
find some trace Of the man who fired
the shots but nothing could be found
The shots were heard by several peo-
pie in the neishborhood. Hanson claims
to be completely in the dark as to
the identity Of the man who fred the
shots and as to his purpose. So far
as Hanson knows he has no enemies
who would seek to take his life. The
sheriff and other officials of the county
are looking into the matter and making
an effort to secure the arrest of the
man.

Kenosha Cemetery Assn.
Seeks Fund of $4,000 to
Proyidefor Improvements
LARGE SUM IS NOW ON HAND

The officials of the Kenosha Gene
terry association headed by President
Il. G. Simmons, have started a new
movement to secure the completion of
the improvements planned at the GENE
terry when it was turned over to the
association some -four years ago and
to this end an effort is being made to
raise fund Of close to $4,000 to pro
vide for the permanent improvements
President Simmons whose work in con-
nection with the financing Of the Ke-
nosha hospital proved of greatest value
to the people of the city is showing the
same enthusiasm in handling the affairs
of the cemetery association and it is
pretty certain that he will secure the
funds needed this year. At the same
time Charles Fl. Gonnermann gave up
the presidency of the association, the
fund was well under way and at the
present time $4,000 has been sub
scribed for the work. The erection Of
the granite and iron gates, the first
of the contemplated improvements, was
completed a year ago at cost of $4,000
and it is thought that the carrying out
Of the other plans will demand a
fund of about twenty thousand dollars.
The plans include the building of a
| cy,; o1o fanoo 10 ha
and the planting of shrubbery on both
sides Of this fence and throughout the
cemetery. The association also plans
to continue the work of grading and
filing up the cemetery paths and the
arranging of proper walks about the
cemetery and planting the curbing with
shrubs. President Simmons is hopeful
that the big work can be completed this
year. The fund that is now being rails
ed has nothing to do with the "care
fund" but it is simply raised as fund
to put the cemetery in first class con-
dition. The letters which President
Simmons is sending out to every lot
owner show just what is contemplated
to be done and he is securing many
contributions. Many of the older resi-
dents of the city have already given
literally to the fund for permanent i'm
provement and it is now thought that
the younger people of the city will be
interested More detailed plans of the
improvements to be made will be an
nounced within a short time and Presi-
dent Simmons is hopeful that the work
will be started early in the summer.

BASE RUNNING WINS GAME
Smith and Miner Have Great Pitch
er's Battle but Smith Managed to
Keep the Hits Scattered While Miner
Gets Strikeout Record.

The Kenosha Ramblers maintained
their position in the Lake Shore league
race on Sunday afternoon by defeating
the Racine team by score of 3 to l
in one of the best games of ball that
has been seen in Racine this year not
withstanding the fact that the Racine
fans are making an effort to support
state league team. The game was a
pitchers battle with Smith of Kenosha
pitted against Miner of the state
league and it was all in favor of the
Kenosha man. He was not as effective
in making strikeout record as Miner
who struck out twelve of the Kenosha
batters, but he kept the three hits Sc
cured by Racine widely scattered and
allowed them to count for but one run
while Kenosha with only one hit more
managed to pile up three runs and win
the egame.
The game was exciting and it was

the ninth inning. Kenosha opened the
scoring in the fourth and added an
other one in the sixth. Racine got it's
only run in the eighth and for a time
it looked as if the score might be tied
Daring base running by Zievers who
stole both third and home gave Keno
sha another run in the eighth inning
and this ended the scoring for the
game. The old time rivalry between
Racine and Kenosha was very much in
evidence at the game and a crowd of
nearly two hundred fans went up from
Kenosha to witness the game. The
score of the game follows:
