SAFETY MATCHES THE CAUSE
Little Child Found Matches at the
Home of Her Parents and Set Fire
to Her Clothes. Died After Hours of
Agony.

Ethel Frances Raiman, aged about
three years, the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Raiman was fatally
burned at the family residence, 462
Rock street on Tuesday afternoon and
the little girl died just after eight
O'Clock Tuesday night. The acct
dent which resulted in the death of the
child occurred just before three O clock.
Raiman is in business at the Rock
street address and the family lives in
a fat over the store. The little child
had been playing about the room and
Mr.. Raiman had been looking after her
during the early hours Of the after
noon. Mrs. Rainan in the meantime
had been attending to some household
duties in the door yard at the rear of
the house. While left alone the little
child picked up box of "safety y
matches which had been left on the ta-
BILE and managed to light one of the
matches. Il is supposed that in this
manner she set fire to her clothes. The
mother heard the screams of the little
child and when she reached the room
the child was enveloped in flames. The
flames had literally burned the cloth
ing from the child. The mother pay
ing no attention to her own danger
gathered the child in her arms and
managed to smother the flames but not
until the little body had been burned
to a crisp in many places. The child s
hair was burned off and there were
great burns all over the body from the
ankles to the head. Suffering intense
pain the little child was wrapped in
sweet oil and DIR. j. O. McCracken was
Hcalled to attend it. The examination
showed that the child had been burned
in the third degree and from the first
the physician felt convinced that the
burns would result fatally The little
sufferer was given everything possible
to lessen the pain but fingered until 8
O'Clock Tuesday night. Mr.. and Mrs.
Raiman were Frustrated as a result of
the sad death of the child and they
refused to be comforted. Coroner Stan
ton will make an examination of the
case today but it is not thought that
it will be necessary to call jury 10
hold an inquest.
The funeral will be held from the
Raiman home on Thursday afternoon,
with interment at the city cemetery.

CLAIM TEST UNSATISFACTORY
Leaders in Great Dairy Business Insist
That Test is Too Uncertain to be of
Value TO ANY One Tobin Reflect
cd.

The annual session of the Milk Pro-
ducers Union of Kenosha county is be-
ing held at the court house this after
noon but the interest in the routine
work of the association is being over
Swallowed by the protest that the dairy
farmers of the county are making
against the continuance of the tuber-
culiI test for cattle. The farmers of
this county are said to be almost unan-
imous in their opposition to the tests
under the Wisconsin law and at the
meeting today many of them signed
petitions to Madison demanding the re-
peal of the law by the legislature. ;,
The farmers seem for great part to
have lost their interest in the Milk
Producers association and when the
business meeting was held this morning
less than. twenty members were pres
ent. Frank T. Holt was elected chair
man and III. T. Runkel secretary, after
which Patrick Tobin was reelected as
a director to represent the Kenosha
county farmers in the Central associa-
ton. William Kline of the town of
Randall was suggested as the second
director to be elected by the Central
body at its annual meeting.
This afternoon the farmers met to
discuss the tuberculia test and there
was notable increase in the number
present. Several men who are in the
very thick of the fight against the test
were on hand to speak. There was also
one woman, Mrs Scott Durand of Lake
Bluff and her presence was one of the
big drawing cards of the meeting.
j. p. Grier of Chicago, secretary of
the Central association of the dairy
men made his first visit to the Kenosha
Union today. Mr.. lGrier is heart ant.
soul in the fight that is being made to
secure the repeal of the laws provid-
ing for the tuberculin test. "We want
it distinctly understood that as dairy
farmers we do not object to proper
tests of CATTLE said Mr.. Grier "'but
we hold further that the tests that are
now being made are so uncertain that
they are of no value to the consumer of
milk and positive detriment to the
farmer and cattle owner. 1t is admit
ed that many cows respond to the tu-
berculin test but these cows are not
furnishing tainted milk [ dare say
that majority Of the people of the
country at some time or another have
had some trace of tuberculosis in their
system but they recover from these
symptoms and so do the cows. We want
to have the people get the best possible
milk but we do not want to submit to

which is uselessly- depicting our herds y

WILL NOW GO TO The COURTS
Board Sends U1timatum to the City
Council in Demand for $4,000 and
the Council Promptly Turns the De
mand Down.


Issues were clearly joined between
the city council and the board of edu-
cation at the meeting Of the council on
Monday evening when the council by a
unanimous vote formally refused to
take any action on the request of the
board for money to build an addition to
inc Frank school and the decks are now
cleared for the school board to take
the matter into the courts by seeking
writ of mandamus. The finance COM
mittee of the council and the commit
tee of the board had held several meet
ings without reaching an agreement in
the matter and Monday night was the
night of ultimatums. The finance com
mittee reported to the council recon-.
mending that the matter lay over for a
year and the ultimatum of the board of
education came from the finance COM
mittee of that body. The communities
ton follows:
Kenosha, Wis, Jan. %, 1911.
To the Hon. Mayor and the Common
Council Of the city of Kenosha,
Wis.
Gentlemen:
On Monday p. m. Jan. 16 the fnan-
cial committees of the common council
and of the board of education met in
the city hall for conference in regard
to the proposed new school. AS no de-
finite conclusion was reached the mat
ter stands as it did in the beginning.
We fail to see whereby it will be any
easier next year for the council to
raise $4,000 for the school and the
$4,000 for the overdraft together with
the regular budget, than it would be
to raise the required amount for the
school this year and the $4,000 in 1912.
AS we, the financial committee of the
board of education received our instrue-
tions by unanimous vote we again re-
new our request for the money and we
will present the matter to you as it was
presented to us by copying from the
minutes of the regular meeting of the
board of education held Tuesday, Jan.
10, 1911. "On motion of Commission
ers Craney and Head the securing of
the money, to build the new addition to
the Frank school was referred to the
financial committee. The committee
was instructed to demand the council
to furnish the money and if the city
council Of Kenosha refuses to take &C.
ton on their demand, then the financial
committee shall employ legal counsel
to force said city of Kenosha to fur
nish the amount demanded.''
We regret that way could not have
been devised whereby friendly settle
ment could have been effected and we
still think that a bond issue at this
time for $4,000 is the logical way out
of the difficulty.
Respectfully submitted,
Financial Committee of the Board of
Education.
