Boosters of Milwaukee and
ken0shato ConsiderMutual
Problems on Visit Here
TO SOLVE TRANSPORTATION

One especially valuable feature of
the eleventh annual excursion of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ton of Milwaukee, June to II in
elusive, is the fact that train service
between Kenosha and the metropolis of
Wisconsin will be closely investigated
on the trip with reference to any pos
sible improvements which may be feast
Bile.
Officials of the Chicago and North
western Railway company will accom-
pany the jobbers and manufacturers
from the Cream City for the express
purpose of making such investigation.
Traffic conditions between the different
cities to be visited and Milwaukee will
be carefully studied and where i'm
provements are found possible, and a
careful first hand study of conditions
show them to be feasible assurance has
been given that such improvements will
be made.
The advantage of having the rail
way officials along with the big Mil
Waukee shippers to receive and investi-
gate complaints is obvious and the re-
suit both to the Milwaukee shippers,
as well as to the merchants of this
city is sure to be far-reaching and
important.
The train on which the Milwaukee
manufacturers and jobbers will visit
Kenosha is one of the finest that ever
travelled through Wisconsin. It con-
sists of four sleepers, two dining cars,
one buffet ear, one special railroad Of
ficial's car, one tourist car for the
train crew and one baggage car. It is
yestibuled, electric lighted inside and
outside and contains every accommoda-
ton that the best of modern equip
ment can provide. A full telephone ex-
change is provided and also Western
Union Telegraph office.
Every one of the 10 participants is
either the head of a jobbing house,
manufacturing plant or financial insti-
tuition, each one bent on renewing or
cementing business acquaintance in
the respective cities to be visited, or
making new ones.
The present trip will be the eleventh
one given under the auspices of Mil
waukee's one big commercial organi-
zation, the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers association and will be the biggest

nual Meeting in July

The twelfth triennial reunion and
convention of the Wisconsin Associa-
ton of the deaf, which is the alumni
association of the state school for deaf
at Delavan, will be held at Oshkosh
from June 30 to July 5, 1911. The
reunions usually are held at the state
school, but this year Supt. E. W. Walk
er has his hands full with the enter
tainment of the Congress of American
Instructors of the Deaf from July 6
to Is.
The Wisconsin Association of the
Deaf was organized in 1876 and has
held reunions every three years since
that time. All graduates and former
students of the state school are mem
bers The officers are: President,
Henry B. Plunkett, Milwaukee,; first
vice president, Enga G. Anderson,
Guthrie, Okla; second vice president,
Henry M. O'Neil, Minneapolis; secre-
tary, Mrs. Charles Reed, Menasha, Wis. !:
treasurer, Emil A. Weller, Bellewood,

kosh committee which has provided
wide range of entertainment for the
1000 or more guests. The convention
will last six days, including the Fourth
of July, which will be celebrated with
an excursion ON Lake Winnebago to
Kaukauna. The triennial banquet will
be held July 1.
Among the principal speakers before
the convention viii be Profs. w. A.

equations for Deaf Women.o Some &C
ton looking toward an annual indus

state fair in Milwaukee will be taken,
The proposed home for the aged deaf
and the welfare of the deaf in city and
country will be important topics for
discussion.

The movement to create a new city
official whose duty it shall be to in
spect all electric wiring in the city is
regarded favorably by some of the
aldermen and the plan would be sup
ported by many of the people Of the
city. At present there is no one in
authority over such construction work
and entire reliance must be placed on
the contractor who does it by the own
ers of the buildings installing electric
wiring for any purpose. OF course any
property owner is privileged to take
expert advice on the manner in which
the work on his building should be
done, but it will be noticed that when
a property owner starts out to consult
the experts h e can get a different
opinion from every one he advices with.
Apparently no two of them are agreed
ON any one system. All of this inspec-
ton work is carefully covered in the
new building ordinance which has
been before the council for the past
two years, but the interests opposed to
that measure are evidently powerful
enough to keep it pigeonholed in
definitely so that no relief from pres
ent conditions can be hoped for from
that quarter. The present plan for this
office provides that the inspector shall
be paid by fees earned by his work
and more of the people of the city
would favor the appointment of an in.
spector if they could be sure that his
compensation would be limited by a
fair percentage of the earnings of the
new department, but any proposal to
add to the city pay roll would meet
with considerable opposition.

Girdenus formerly lived at a boarding
house on North Chicago street operat-
ed by one. John Chestnik and it is
claimed that on May 14th the place was
robbed and money to the amount of
1922 taken. Girdenus, who was en-
pleyed in one of the Kenosha factories,
disappeared three days later and since
that time his fellow boarders have been
unable TO get any trace of him. 1t is
thought that the man is in Chicago
and the Chicago police officers have
been asked to make an effort to arrest
him.

The congressional and legislative dis

belief that move will be made to Sc

it strongly republican and in the fut.

sent Wisconsin in the lower house of

OF sixteen members of the committee
appointed three are democrats and ore
is social democrat. The rest are re-
publicans. The senate members are
Kleczka, Milwaukee; Krumfey, Ply.
mouth; Owen, Maiden Rock; True,
Baraboo, and Randolph, Manitowoc.
The assembly members are Bell, Ra-
cine; Yockey, Milwaukee; Binner, Mil
waukee; Pickart, Malone; Gilbertson,
Eau Claire; Clark, Oshkosh; Johnson,
Marinette; Urquhart, Medford, and
Nye, Superior.
The number Of the congressional and
legislative districts will not be chang
ed, as the present number is the limit
the state can have. The principal
change win be in giving the northern
part Of the state larger and the SOUTH
ern part smaller representation in the
Legislature.
The committee is expected to get
right down to hard work and to submit
a bill before the end of the session.
Assemblyman Binner, the social demo
crat on the committe, has already
drafted a plan which makes the as
sembly unit a little over $4,000, this
figure being reached, of course, by di-
viding the voting population of the
state in the 1910 census, by 100. Under
this unit, Milwaukee would get nine
teen assemblymen. It is said that the
Milwaukeeans will back up Binner on
this representation for Milwaukee
county.

Governor Not Consulted.

Another phase of the apportionment
committee lies in the rumors that
Speaker Ingram did not consult or fol
low the wishes of Governor McGoverr
in making his appointments, but thai
he looked to his alleged congressional
aspirations in making up the list
Several of the stronger members of the
lower house like Mahon, Mcconnell
Roycraft, Spoor and Axel johnson did
not want committee places, but other
leaders like Nye, Gilbertson, Bell and
Harper were prevailed upon to serve
the state in this rather ungrateful work
The democrats are expected to com
plain of their representation. Assem-
blyman Long, for instance, is not a
democrat, strictly speaking. He has
not been on harmonious terms with his
party brethren, and has acted indepen.
IDENTIFY in most instances. The demo.
Gratis do not count upon him. The only
other democrat on the committe is
Chris Pickart, who is popular with the
republicans.
In addition to the work of Binner on
e-apportionment, statisticians in the
governor s, office are at work on the
same subject and it is understood that
Speaker Ingram has had work done
along the same lines.
The committee which is working for
adjournment and the completion of
legislative business now hopes to get
things cleared up by the middle of
June. The legislature may take a re-
