SIX SHOTS WERE FIRED
DURING DARING HOlDUP
Especial from United Press. }

New York, March six shots
were fired during a daring street hold
UP here. early today. None of the
bullets took effect. The six highway
men, who attempted to rob four way
farers, ran at the approach of the
police and, leaping into an automo-
bile they had left nearby, made their
escape. The police reserves were
called out but only one capture was
made. The prisoner said he was
James Hickman. He stoutly denied
completely in the affair.
The spot where the hoidup occur
red is well lighted and the police de-
clare the attack one of the boldest
attempted in New York in many
months.

WOULD ELIMINATE MIDDLE MEN
Claimed That the Cost of Living in
Kenosha Gould be Greatly Reduced
and Living be Made Better by Garry
ing out the Plan.


With view of eliminating the pro-
fits of the middle man and giving ke-
nosha merchants and Kenosha people
q chance to deal directly with the pro-
ducers, plans are being talked over in
Kenosha for the establishment OF a
central market in Kenosha which would
be the sales place for the products OF
the county. The idea is to return to
the old market house plan which was
popular in all cities of the country If
teen years ago.
At the present time little of the pro-
duce raised in Kenosha county is sold
in this city and great deal of it is
shipped to commission merchants in
Chicago and Milwaukee only to find
it's way back to Kenosha at greatly in
creased prices.
Efforts are bein made to interest the
retail dealers of the city in the plan
with a view Of having an association of
the merchants as the moving spirit
in the opening Of such a place. 1t is
certain that great mass of the pro-
ducers in the county would much prefer
to sell their product locally and save
freight and express charges and 1T is
just as certain that the people of Keno
sha could secure provisions at a cheaper
rate and secure better things to eat if
the plan could be carried out.
Years ago when Market Square was
given to the city it was designed that
lit would be used as central market for
the people of the city and county but
this plan was abandoned when the com
mission man came into being and be-
gan his work of taking goodly profit
on everything for the table. At the
present time it is declared by men who
know that less than one-ffth of the ar
tieles that go to make up the dinner Of
Kenosha people are raised in this
county. With a central marketing
place the merchants of the city would
be assured of getting fresh produce
daily. They could secure it at a lower
rate than is quoted by the commission
men at Chicago and Milwaukee and it
could be sold cheaper to the people of
the city on account Of the fact that
there would be no freight or express
charges to pay.
The retail merchants of Racine have
already taken up this plan and it is
declared that market house will be
opened in that city before the end of
the present month. If Kenosha does
not follow suit much of the produce of
this county will go to Racine and Keno
sha will have to be satisfied with cold
storage products. Tt is probable that
a special meeting of the merchants will
be called within a few days to take
some action in the matter.

URGES sANITARIUM PLAN.
Miss Edith Tate Gets After Members of
the County Board for Help.

Miss Eeith Tate of Milwaukee, field
organizer for the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, has trans
ferIed her activities from the city
fathers to the members of the board of
supervisors Of the county and is urging
the members of the county board TO
take some final action in regard to the
building of sanitariunl in this county
for the care of patients in the advanc-
ed stages of consumption. The Racine
County Board is also taking up the mat
ter and it seems certain that a sani-
tarlum viii be built in one of the coun-
ties this year. Miss Tate is anxious to
have the Kenosha board act favorably
in the matter and it is thought that il
kenosha decides to erect a sanitarium
that Racine county will be able to help
bear the expense by sending all patients
from that county to this county. The
matter promises to be one of the most
interesting problems for the members of
tho county board at the annual meet,
ing which opens next week.

Mayor Scholey and Chairman
Burg of Co. Board to Name
Delegates to Congress
TO STUDY IRRIGATION PLANS

a. j. Burg, chairman Of the county
board and M. J. Scholey, mayor of the
city, have received call from TIE
Nineteenth National Irrigation Con-
gress urging them to name delegates to
represent Kenosha county and city at
the sessions to be held in Chicago from
December 5th to 9th. The city is en-
titled to five delegates and like num-
Der may be appointed from the county
at large.
The congress to be held this year
promises to be the most interesting
thing of the kind ever held in the
country and it will bring together a
great number of men who have taken
a great interest in reclaiming of lands
by irrigation. It is asserted that there
will be many matters of interest for
every man interested in the soil and
the people of Chicago are planning to
make the congress notable on account
VI bu0 6AOSl tdluLI0uG OnGIGu UuC VS.
itors.
The question of irrigation as it per-
tains to the increasing of value of lands
in older territories will be taken up
and this portion Of the program will
be of particular interest to the farmers
of Kenosha county. Men who have had
long experience in this work will adj
dress the conference and hundreds of
diplays will be ready to show the value
of this work. Kenosha county farmers
are each year taking a greater interest
in irrigation and it is declared that
| thousands of acres of land in this Sec
ton of the state could be reclaimed if
inexpensive methods for irrigation
could be devised.
Chairman Burg and Mayor Scholey
will seek to name as delegates TO the
congress from this county men who are
interested in this line of work. The
appointments will be made within the
next ten days

CUTS STATE TAX s1s,75o.19.
County Clerk Gets Gut in State Taxes
from State Tax Commission Today.

The state taxes to be paid by the
county of Kenosha are reduced
$l3,75O.l9 by the action of the COVER
nor in taking a million dollars from the
general fund and applying it to the
state expenses. County Clerk Jones
received the new statement of taxation
this morning and the total to be paid
by this county is $62,573.7S or a total
Of $2,324.15 less than the amount as
sessed against the county for state
taxes in the year 1910. There are two
big items removed from the airport; on
ment for Kenosha county. One was an
item of $T169.31 for the support of the
state normal schools and the other was
an item of $6,580.Ss, the amount ap-
portioned to this county for the pay
ment for the state capital work. This
reduction of taxes will make it posi-
bic for the county to raise the amount
required for highway taxes with only
slight increase in the total of the
tax levy made last year. A similar
reduction in the taxes has been made
in all counties in the state.

FEAR MORE LOSSES.
500 Tons of Sugar Beets at Somers
Awaiting Facilities for Shipment.

500 Tons of Sugar Beets at Somers
Awaiting Facilities for Shipment.
Farmers living in the neighborhood
of the village of Somers, who recently
applied to the state railroad commits
sion for more shipping facilities in the
village, realized their fears on Wednes-
day night when tire Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul Railway Company was
unable to take care of the great lot of
beots brought to the station for ship
ment and telephone message from
Senator Isaac 7. Bishop this morning
stated that there were 500 tons of
beets piled up at the station Wednes-
day night. All of these beets were
consigned to the Wisconsin Sugar Beet
Company at GAINESVILLE and there were
no cars in which to load them. 1t is
declared that the farmers viii suffer
heavy losses on account Of the freezing
of the beets. AS yet the commission
has not taken up the matter of grant
ing more loading facilities at Somers
and it is certain that the first claim
Of the farmers that thousands of tons
Of beets would be lost was not an
exaggeration.
