HEARS IMMUNITY FLEA.
Promoter of G. & NJ. E. Road Seeks to
Escape the Conspiracy Charge.


Authorities were submitted to Judge
Lands in the United States district
court at Chicago yesterday, following
arguments for the immunity of Albert
9. Frost, promoter of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric, with his con-
fidential clerk, Pierre G. Beach, from
prosecution for conspiracy to defraud
the government out of $1o,0o0,00o
Alaskan coal properties.
It is declared by Levy Mayer, counsel
for the men, that certain books and
papers were taken from Frost IS reeeiv-
er, George M. Seward, and used as a
basis for bringing the Indictment.
George B. Townsend, assistant to the
attorney general, denied this and
argued that the statute governing this
immunity contemplated merely that
such evidence could be barred out on a
trial of issue.
Judge Lands had counsel for the
defense and for the government sub
nit authorities for later decision.
Demurrers to the Indictment on be-
half of other defendants will be ar
gued today.

In book published and entitled

Childs, secretary of the Short Ballot
Organization-of which Governor Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey is the presi-
dent--shows some of the advantages
that would come from lessening the
number of names on the ballots used in
most of our elections. The need of re.
form in this respect is known to every
voter who has been confronted at the
polls with long list of names, many
being of men wholly unknown to him.
The Short Ballot Organization has a
platform, sane, ratuonal, brief and
pointed as BELTS the subject. 1t says:

elective which are important enough to

reform of the ballot used in most of

Wisconsin Industrial Com
mission Would Cut Down
Appalling List ofVictims
LAW PLACES HEAVY PENALTY

Efforts are being made by the In
ldustrial Commission of Wisconsin to
'ut down the appalling number of farm
accidents caused by corn shedding and
lusking machines. The commission is
charged by law with the duty of en-
forcing the statute, which requires that
all shredders and huskers shall be
guarded. Guards for these machines
are simple and inexpensive and the com
mission is advising farmers as to the
proper method of building them.
The hazard to life and limb, which
has become greater each year with the
Increasing of shredders, is becoming
a serious problem. Don D. Lescohiet of
Minnesota, in recent issue of the
Survey, has this to say on the subject:
Sixteen fatal accidents, two more
likely to result in dearh, e1ghty-fi7e
serious injuries and thirty-two severe
ones-a total of 135 accidents-were
reported from Minnesota s agriculture
during the past twenty months, eighty
two of thenl, including four fatalities,
in the last eight months. Forty-one per
cent of the accidents occurred on corn
shredders, which are the most danger
Gus agricultural machines in use in
the northwest"
The Wisconsin legislature in 1911
passed a law placing heavy penalty
upon owners Of unguarded corn shred
ders. These owners not only may be
fined, but in addition they are denied
the defense of contributory negligence
in case of a lawsuit growing out of an
injury to an employee. This means
that, no matter if the injured person
was careless he can get damages from
his employer for injury.
Under the law it is the duty of
every person using corn shredding or
husk1ng machine, to equip the machine
with safety or automatic feeding de-
vices for protection from accident by
the swapping rollers, husking rollers
and shredding knives.
This duty is absolute. It is not
enough to exercise ordinary care.
1t is the duty of the Industrial Com
mission to enforce this law. The pen
atty is $25 to 800 70 reach offense.
The corn shredder law (section 1886
81 to 1867 prohibits the sale of shred
ders which are not fitted with "safetv
or automatic feeding devices.o The
law also penalties any person operating
or maintaining an unguarded machine.
Violations of this law are to be
punished by fines Of from $25 to 800.

BOY TERRIBLY BURNED.
Alex. Popov, Five Years Old, Burned
With Lye, May Lose Eye Sight.

Alexander Popov, aged five years, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley Popov of East
Market street, met with very serious
injuries ON Wednesday afternoon which
may result in the sight of the child be-
ing impaired or totally destroyed. The
little boy while playing about IN the
street in front of the home found a
can of concentrated I've and managed
to open the can in some manner. He
smeared the I've on his face and his
hands and face were terribly burned.
A portion of the I've got into the eyes
of the boy and he was suffering terri
bly, from the effects of it today. Physi-
clans in attendance have declared that
it is impossible to tell at this time
whether or not they viii be able to
save the boys sight. The injured boy
is the son Of Stanley Popov who is the
plaintiff in a personal damage suit now
on trial in the circuit court.

BAN PLACED ON MORE BONDS
Balance of the City in Bank Fades
and Finance Committee Will Have
a Hard Task to Get the Money to
Meet the City's Obligations.

The city council is going to be forced
to face hard problem to secure funds
to meet the cost of the trunk sewer for
with the extra charges that have been
piled up in the past few days it is GER
! tain that the 100000 secured by the
two bond issues will not meet the total
cost of the sewer.
The original contract calls for the
payment of a little over $4,000 and to
this already mas been added an amount
to exceed the 100000 on hand. Many
of the members of the council have de-
clared openly that they will not vote
for the issue of any more bonds and
the general belief is that $4,000 at
least will have to be raised by taxation
to complete the work as planned.
The extras so far allowed include
$4,000 for the work under the North
western track, $4,000 for the Kehlor
easement and added to this is the money
asked for the building of the we'll on
Pleasant street coming to $3.50 and
the cost of covering the outlet which
will be nearly as much. With these
charges as good as provided for there
is nothing left to meet the claims for
extras which may be sent in by the
contractors and it is certain that this
bill will amount to several thousands
of dollars.
The condition of the finances of the
city is not encouraging and in fact if
the money in special funds was with
drawn the city would have very small
balance if any in the bank. There will
be no more money available until late
in January of next year and in addition
to che running expenses of the city
there will be number of heavy claims
to be met. There will be a big claim
for the pavement of Elizabeth street
and it is probable that the city will
have to make some arrangements to
borrow money to tide over until the
tax levy can be made and collected.
Unless there is a large increase in the
levy the relief will be only temporary
and the new city administration to be
elected next spring will have a hard
row to hoe. The finance committee has
begun to figure on the annual report to
the council and the members are hav-
ing hard time to figure out any way
to take care of the expenses of the city
without increasing the rate of taxation
and it is certain that any plan to raise
the taxes over the present rate will be
bitterly contested by the people.
Chairman Rhode of the finance com
mittee has covered many sheets with
figures in an attempt to figure out the
finances for next year, but he is not
as yet satisfied with the results. The
report Of the committee will be pre-
sented to the council at the first meet
ing of that body in December and the
levy will be made at that time.

Experience Difficulty in Harvesting
Crops Owing to Wet Weather.
The sugar production in Racine and
Kenosha counties is the largest ever
grown in this section of the country.
There are over $4,000 acres contracted
for by the various sugar beet com.
panies.
The work of harvesting the crop is
done by families who do all the work
except the blowing and hauling, this
being done by the grower. They re-
ceive so much per acre for their labor.
As a result of the large crop a number
OF farmers will make considerable
money, as the beets bring from Sc to
S. and the yield will average from
fifteen to twenty tons to the acre.
Large numbers of cars are being load
ed at different loading stations through
out the county. The farmers who form
erly raised cabbage or corn as their
main crop have from fifty to sixty
acres of beets on their farms. The
farmers are securing sufficient helm to
harvest the crop, which, on account of
the recent wet weather, is considerable

being harvested there is considerable
activity among the farmers throughout
the country.
The cabbage crop is excellent az 20.

driven by DR.. G. H. Gephart took place
near the corner of Church street and
Park place just after six o CLOCK Thurs
day evening and fortunately no one was
seriously injured. The horse was knock

the automobile had broken light and
a twisted mud guard. DR.. Gephart adj
mits that he was on the wrong side of
the road, but he insists that the other
man was also to blame. He declares
that McKune drove directly into the
automobile. McKune claimed that he
was just as on the right of the
road as it was possible for him to drive
and that he could not have avoided the
collision.

TO CHANGE THE NAME
Certain Residents of Zion
City Plan to Change Name
to Forest Hill
WANT A MANUFACTURING CITY

According to the statement Of one of
the independents of Zion City today,
an effort will be made in the near
future to change the name of Zion City
to Forest Hill, or some other name ex-
cept the one now appearing on the
depots OF that city.
A resolution will be introduced at the
next meeting of the council asking that
steps be taken to have the postofice
and station names changed. The move
ment started with the Independents
and as the city council of Zion City
is now almost entirely independent, it
is stated that there is little chance, but
that the name Of the station will be
changed, if the resolution is introduced.
It is claimed that the Independents
of Zion are now purchasing as rapidly
as possible, the corner lots in Zion City,
for use as business blocks.
They claim, and are by no means
secretive in saying, that they expect
that the church rule of Zion City will
soon end, and that the estate will
eventually revert to Chicago firm.
They do not look for a second receiver
ship, but do expect that the Chicago
firm will make an industrial city, and
in that case the corner lots, which
right now are of high value, will ma
terially increase in price, and bring
the holder of the lots good interest
on the money expended.

GIBSON CASE EXPENSIVE.
Walworth County Charges Kenosha
County 1912 for Damage Suit Trial.

District Attorney Henry J. Hastings
this morning received a bill from the
clerk Of the circuit court of Walworth
county for the trial of the suit of John
R. Gibson against the town of Salem.
The costs in The case are placed at
1912. The district attorney claims that
the bill is entirely too large and that
the county should receive reduction
of at least 500. From the bill it is
evident that it is an expensive PROPOSE
ton to take cases to other counties for
trial. The arguments for a new trial
in the case have not as yet been heard,
but it is declared that in case new
trial is denied that the case will be
taken to the supreme court.
