TO INSURE MEMBERS
Master Plumbers of State to
Form a Mutual Insur-
ance Company !.
COMPENSATION ACT THE CAUSE

Master plumbers Of Kenosha and of
other large cities of the state may
unite In the organization of mutual
insurance company for the purpose Of
taking care of the risk incurred by en-
ployers occasioned by the passage of
the wage compensation act. The mas
ter plumbers of Milwaukee have taken
the initial step in the perfecting of
the mutual insurance company and
plans have been formulated to insure
members of the association of which
all master plumbers of the state may
be entitled to membership.
1t is understood the plans for the as
ISOLATION have already been submitted
to Insurance Commissioner Ekern at
Madison and given his approval. At a
meeting held in Milwaukee there was
a discussion Of plans to be held in the
near future, officers for the company
will be el-..ed and plans made for its
Incorporation.
1t is understood that the plan of or
ganization is similar to that Of the
Wisconsin Manufacturer Association
Company which was organized some
weeks ago by companies which are
members of the Wisconsin Manufac-
turers' association.
Il is understood the rates will be
about the same on the hazards insured
as are charged by that company, and
that the same plans will be made for
the return Of premiums not needed for
tue cost Of TIE protection.
Plans for the organization of the
company are being drawn and it is ex-
pected that the company viii be form
ally launched within the next ten days.
1t is understood that the company will
only give protection to employers com
ing under the provisions of the law.

All Good Fighters.

Explaining why Senator LaFollette
is so good fighter two or three re-
cent writer's have said that he is "of
French Huguenot blood, mixed with
Irish and Scotch
One is obliged for this key to char
acter.
One understands now that the late
Gov. John A. johnson of Minnesota
fought so well because he had Swe-
dish blood in his veins.
It is clear also that Frank Walsh is
feared for his grit because he comes
of Irish Catholic ancestry.
Surely the fighting Dutch blood of
Theodore Roosevelt clears up the mys.
terry of his career.
That oil dust of battle of the Israe-
lites accounts thoroughly for the stiff
necked qualities of Louis D. Brandeis.
That Folk was fighter was due to
the German blood in him.
The AngIo-Saxon strain would ex.
plain Woodrow Wilson's pugnacity
and resistance to oppression if theirs
were no Celtic or other sort of cor.
puscles in his arteries.
1t is all made easy; and it all comes
down to the fact that a good fighting
man is a good fighter because he is q
good fighting man.-Kansas City Star

ENROLMENT WILL Be LARGE
Men in Charge of the School Plan to
Open Advanced Glasses for Men Who
Have Done Work in the Schools in
Former Years.

The night schools of the city under
the auspices of the Y. M. G. A. opened
at the Weiskopf school on Thursday
evening and Notwithstanding the fact
that many of the men of the city are
now working in the factories there
were twenty students registered for the
first night. the number being far in ex-
cess of the number anticipated by the
men in charge of the school, Many ma
tionalities were represented at the
school on the opening night and it seems
certain that the school will prove a
success.
The school for the Italians in the hall
above the Pastime Theatre was opened
on last Monday evening and twelve of
the Italians have entered. In this
school as well as in the general school
at the Weiskopf building graded classes
will be arranged for in order to give
the foreigners chance to get some adj
vanced work. The aliens are showing
special interest in the work which is
planned to aid them in securing second
papers.
Later in the month third school will
be opened at the Y. NJ. G. A. building
and it is probable that this school will
be arranged especially for the men who
have attended the night school in form
er years. Some of the men are ready
and anxious to begin a study of Eng
lish literature and later in the year ar
rangements will be made to arrange a
series Of lectures for them in order
that they may get some better view of
the literature of American.
Some of the best known foreigners
in the city are taking an interest in
the school work and they are using
their influence to bring their fellow
country men into the various classes.
Within a week the night school at the
plant of the Chicago Brass Works will
be opened and it is certain to have
an enrolment of fifty and possibly a
hundred students. This school is prov
ing Of decided interest to the men en-
ployed in the plant and it is probable
that other factory managers in the city
will make provisions for the opening of
similar schools before the winter is far
advanced.
Teachers who have been placed in
charge Of the various schools have been
given especial training for the work
expected of them and during the sum-
mer months training school for these
teachers has been held at the Y NJ G.
| A. building. Many of the teachers
have been selected from the ranks of
people who secured their own educa-
tion in the night schools and the man
ayers Of the schools feel convinced that
| it will be possible to get enough teach
ers to handle as many classes as may
be formed among the foreigners Of the
city.

SALEM WINS CASE.
WaIworth County Jury Finds Gibson
is Not Entitled to Recover Damages.
(From Saturdays Daily)

(From Saturdays Daily
The suit of John II. Gibson, as ad-
ministrator of the estate of the late
Harvey Gibson against the town of Sa-
lem, was decided by jury in the cir
cult court at Elkhorn this morning.
the jury holding that Gibson was not
entitled to recover. The jury held that
the road was reasonably safe and the
driver of the automobile in which Glib
son was riding at the time of his death
did not show proper care and held that
Gibson was entitled to recover nothing
from the town. 1T was evident from
the tone of the verdict that the iurv
was opposed to the plaintiff securing
any damages but the attorneys for Glib
son claim that the failure of the Jury
to an amount of damages has left the
case in such manner as to make pos
Isible a mistrial. Arguments for new
trial will be heard by Judge Belden
next week.

People of City Hurry to Sign
Request for Referendum
on Change in Charter
MAY DELAY ELECTION MONTHS
Opponents of Change of Charter WILL
ing to Have the Matter Submitted
to the People of the City at the
General City Election.

The referendum petitions demanding
that the people of the city have a
chance to express their will on the
proposed amendment to the city char
ter are proving one of the most pop
ular movements of public nature
ever inaugurated in Kenosha and at
the close of the first day of the cir
culation of the petitions there was no
doubt remaining as to the feeling of
the people and it is certain that the
council will get one of the largest pc
titions ever presented to that body de-
handing that the people of the city
be permitted to decide on the destiny
of the charter so far as the question
of the schools is concerned. The COM
mittee In charge of the circulation of
the petitions have not made any effort
to make a systematic canvass of the
city, but the petitions have been sent
to only 3 few places with view of
getting FIVE or six hundred names, the
number necessary to force the city
council to submit the question as pro-
vided for by the state law. Party
lines are eliminated in the signing of
the petitions and nearly every one to
whom the petitions were presented in
sisted on signing them and signing
them quickly.
One petition circulated on Friday
afternoon contained the names of 162
business and professional men in the
down town district of the city. 1t
| also had the names of many of the
city officials and five of the members
| of the common council. The MAYOR
and the members of the council are
now practically agreed that the peo-
| pie desire to have the question of
charter change submitted to them for
a final decision. The petition seeks to
ask no one to commit himself on the
outcome of the matter and provides
simply for the submission of the ques-
ton to the people. Workmen in the
factories are showing a great interest
in the question and the petitions cir
culated in the factories were signed
| by nearly every man to whom they
were presented. Calls for new petit
tions were made this morning and it
is certain that if a systematic canvass
of the city could be made that ninety
petitions.
| With a referendum assured the
members of the council are seeking
to devise some plan by which the sub
mission to the people may be laid
over until the general city election of
1912. This plan is entirely agreeable
to the promoters of the petitions pro-
viding it is understood that the coun-
Gil will take no steps to tamper with
the charter so far as it relates to the
school money until after the people
have voted on the question.
Under the strict Interpretation of
the law the question would have to be
submitted to the voters within sixty
days after the petition is received by
the council, but the people opposed to
the adoption of the proposed charter
amendment have no desire to bring
an added expense on the city if the
matter can be delayed to the general
election. This OF course would mean
that the charter if changed would not
go into effect until March 1913.

FAUST PLEADS GUILTY.
Former Moose Lodge Steward Pleads
Guilty but Sentence is Deferred.

Victor Faust, former steward Of the
Moose Lodge, appeared before Judge
Randall in the municipal court late
Friday afternoon and pleaded guilty
to charge of embezzlement. Sentence
on Faust was deferred until next Mon
day and it is possible that by that time
it will be possible for the court to
work out plan by which sentence
viii be suspended so that Faust may
return to his old place at the plant of
the Badger Brass Company and be
given chance tosmake good the losses
to the lodge and such fine as the court
may impose on him. Faust told the
court perfectly straight story and
asked that he be given another chance
and it is thought probable that his
prayer will be granted.
