kenosha Gentlemen's Driy-
ing Club Holds Banquet
and Elects Officers
TROPHY FOR JOHN MILL|GAN

The annual meeting and banquet of
the members of the Kenosha Gentle
men S Driving Club-was held on Thurs
day evening at Eagles hall and inter
esting plans were made for the coming
season. If the plans made are carried
out the coming season will be the most
interesting season for racing ever
known in Kenosha. The officials of the
club will in the near future seek a
new lease OF the Balm track and it will
be put into condition as early as pos
sible in order to give the local horse
men plenty of time for the spring train
ing. There will be the usual number
OF matlnees provided during the season
and it is possible that two days rae
ing meet will be arranged for the 18th
of July and possibly a similar meeting
for Labor Day. It is certain that the
track will be used for training pur-
poses by number of well known horse
men and the horses are expected to get
into Kenosha with the first spring rob-
in and remain here until the Grand
Circuit meetings open.
The year just closed has been a very
successful one for the club and the
gathering last night brought one very
interesting ceremony. John Milligan
was presented with handsome loving
cup which had been offered by DR.. J..
L. Hernsheim to the horse owner win
ming the largest number Of heats at
meets held during the season. Mr.. Mil
hgan captured the trophy with his trot-
ter jerry The presentation of the
trophy was one of the features of the
banquet and Milligan responded with
a speech in which he threw down the
gauntlet to all of the horsemen to equal
his record during the coming season.
At the annual business meeting of the
club the following officers were elected
for the year:
President M. D. Schmitt; vice presi-
dent, John Milligan; secretary, William
j. flaming; treasurer, Thomas Scott;
superintendent of speed, Theodore Jen-
sen; directors, Frank Schmitt, William
Dabbs and Andrew Hildenbrande.

Attorneys for City and Eliza
beth st. Property Owners
Present Case to Judge
EXPECT AN EARLY DECISION

The argument of the demurrer fled
by the city against the complaint of
John O'Donneu and other property
owners on Elizabeth street against the
contract for the paving of the street
recently let by the common council
was taken up by Judge Turner in the
Circuit court late Saturday afternoon.
Attorney Calvin Stewart appeared for
the city and Attorney Peter Fisher ap-
peared for contractor Christ Petersen.
The argument of Attorney Fisher
brought up new point in the fight.
He held that the clause in the adver-
tisement for bids which gave the coun-
Gil the right to reject any or. all bids
gave the right for the council to use
it's discretion in selecting the contrac-
tor and that unless fraud was shown
that the contract would stand. He de-
clared that this point was sustained by
many decisions.
Attorney R. V. Baker appearing for
the property owners insisted that the
specifications were not sufficiently de-
finite to make it possible for competi-
tion in the bids for the paving of the
street and that the action of the coun-
Gil in giving the contract to Petersen
was in itself a fraud against the pro-
perty owners. He held that an action
Of this sort would destroy the compe-
tition which it was the specific purpose
of the law so maintain.
Attorney Stewart argued that the
specifications were sufficiently specific
to permit of competitive bidding and
that the specifying of "vitrifed brick
gave sufficient chance for competition.
Judge Turner took the matter I'M
der advisement and declared that he
would hand down a decision in the mat
ter within the next two weeks. It is
probable that the case will be taken
to the Supreme court regardless of the
decision of Judge Turner.

GET ONE HUNDRED TRAMPs.
Kenosha Officials Feel Heavily the
Weight of the Hobo Convention.

Kenosha county was hard hit as a
result of the hobo convention in Mil
waukee Saturday and Sunday and just
an even hundred of the hoboes were
taken care of at the county Jail. The
number got so large that it became
necessary on Saturday night to refuse
admission to the tramps. Sixty had
been registered at that time and the
tramp room was filled and every avail
able place in the cell room was taken
up. On Sunday night the doors were
closed after forty tramps had found
shelter. Scores of the wanderers were
turned away during the evening and
lot of them were sleeping in the box
cars along the railway tracks. The
county officials are not giving the
tramps y royal welcome and it is prob
able that this evening the doors will
be closed even earlier.

a Special Design for the Use of City
Fire Departments and for Other Pub
lie Service Boards.

The first public exhibition of Ram
bier service cars and the public an
nouncement of the intention of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, pioneer
pleasure car manufacturers to enter
the track field in substantial way,
will be. made at the opening Of the
Commercial Vehicle show at the Coli
scum next week.
The first car to be shown will be
the Rambler combination chemical and
hose truck, one of the most complete
pieces of automobile fire fighting equip
ment ever placed on the market.
A special chassis will distinguish
this car from most others Of it's class,
the majority consisting merely of
a pleasure car chassis equipped
with special body The car

of from five to forty miles an hour on
high gear, will accommodate six men

inch water hose, including regular
chemical equipment and is in itself
capable of handling a large fire with
out the assistance of another depart
ment.
Chemical equipment consists Of a
forty gallon chemical tank, 200 feet Of
chemical hose; one II foot roof ladder
with folding hooks; one % foot extern
sion ladder; two 5 foot combination
pike poles and plaster hooks; two fire
department lanterns and holders; two
axes; one combination door opener and
hose shut off; two nozzle plugs and
extra acid bottles and receptacles.
The Rambler Spare Wheel will give
this car an advantage over other SER
vice cars owing to the fact that it is
exclusively carried on the Raml Ter and
in the truck business, will undoubtedly
be indispensable as it has been in the
use of trucks by the United States Ar
my There are a number of Rambler
outfits in use throughout the country.
IN addition to chemical trucks, the
Jeffrey company will also build Chief S
cars, insurance and salvage patrols, po-
lice patrols, ambulances, hearses and
undertaker's wagons.

"He being dead, yet speaketh. =
The day before President Mckinley
was assassinated he said, ga system
which provides mutual exchange of
commodities is manifestly essential to
the continued and heaithful growth of
our export trade. The period of ex-
clusiveness is past. The expansion of
our trade and commerce is the press
ing problem. Reciprocity treaties are
in harmony with the spirit of the
times.''
These words quoted by President
Taft the other night fit precisely the.
case of the reciprocity agreement with
Canada. 1t is in pefect hamony> with
the advice of one who was never ac-
cused, of being disloyal to protection.
A mutual exchange of commodities
is manifestly essential, said ,McKin-
ley. That is precisely what the Cana
dian agreement contemplates. The
Canadians are to take more American
products which they need and we are
to take in return more Canadian pro-
duets which we need. The expansion
Of our trade and commerce was
pressing problem when Mckinley
spoke at Buffalo. It is more urgent
problem now, and the reciprocity
agreement would aid in its solution.
Naturally, President Taft has much
at beart the enactment by congress
at this session Of the legislation requir-
ed to give effect to this agreement. It
is said that if it were to miscarry he
might call an extra session. This is a
possibility which should unite the bus
mess men of the country in an appeal
to congress for immediate action. If
there should be an extra session next
month the entire tariff question would
be open for protracted discussion and
uncertain action. While the effect on
business of the consideration of the
tariff question has been exaggerated,
there is no doubt that it does have
depressing influence. 1t would be more
felt this year because business is slug
gish.
The timely ratification of the agree
ment with Canada would tend to slim
Mate business There wouId no an IN
creased demand for our SURPRISES of
agricultural and manufactured pro
ducts-the increased demand which
President Mckinley said we needed
and which President Taft has been la
boring assiduously to provide.-Tri

RAT IN A MAIL POUCH,

A young woman living on Grant
street had an unusual cause for dam
ages against the post Office department
as this morning box of candy was de-
livered to the young woman. 1t was
in a decidedly bad condition as a por-
ton of the candy had been eaten. The
department clerks were none of them
to blame for the trouble. When the
pouch containing the box of candy
reached Kenosha this morning it was
noticed that there was hole in the
pouch and when it was opened a big
rat jumped out. The rat had gnawed
the hole into the pouch and had con-
cealed himself there enjoying the feast
on the candy during the trip from an
Eastern city.

Candidates are becoming quite num-
erous for all of the city offices to be
filled at the coming election and there
are indications that the fight for the
nominations in the primary will be the
liyeliest the city has seen in an "off''
year for some time. This is an encour-
aging sign for the more interest the
people take in the election the better
the chances that the results will be
satisfactory.

SEEK ARNOLD GIRL HERE.

The police of Kenosha this morning
received letter from the Metropolitan
police department of the city of New
York asking that the search be taken
up here for Dorothy III. c. Arnold, the
member of prominent New York fam
lily who disappeared from home on
Dec. u. Three pictures of the young
woman have been sent the local off
GERS to aid them in the search. The
search for the girl is now an interna-
tional one and the Kenosha police are
bending every effort to pick up any
one suspected of being the missing VIC
man.

The people of the city need have no
fears that the visit of the secretary
of the state board Of barber examiners
to Kenosha is an indication that there
are any of the shops in the city in an
unsanitary condition. So far as the
board of examiners have been able to
ascertain about the only- regulation
made by the state for operation of the
shops that is not lived up to in Ken
osha to the letter is the requirement
that all BARRIERS must take out a license
and the secretary of the board came
here for the express purpose of remedy
ing that oversight on the part of the
delinquents. There may be a wide diff
ference of opinion az to the wisdom
and justice CT requiring the BARRIERS
working at their trade in this state to
on the manner in which the money rails
ed by the collection of the license fees
is expended but there can be no argu-
ment on the proposition that if any
of the BARRIERS are forced to pay in
their fee that all should be made to
pay. The intent and purpose of the law
is defeated right from the start unless
the regulations are made to cover all
of the men working at the trade in
the state Public sentiment undoubt-
edly approves of the enforcement of
proper sanitary regulations il the bar
Der shops and the license law will prob
ably remain IN force in Wisconsin I'm
til some other way is found to give the
board power to keep close watch on
the business,

MAKE NEW CONTRACT.
Walter Bennett Gets the Contract for
Carrying the Mails in Kenosha.

Mails are to be carried between the
post Office and the Northwestern depot
by automobile after the first Of the
month as the post office department has
made a contract with Walter Bennett
in charge of the parcel delivery bust
ness of the Kent Motor Car company
for the carrying Of the mails for
year. The contract price will be 5000.
Seven bids were received for the work
but all of them were regarded as too
high. Bennett IS bid of thousand dol
lars year was the lowest and he con-
sented to shade the price to 5000. The
contract was formerly held by Park
er Brothers and the price has been
$400 year. !.

In one way Kenosha is fortunate and
that is in the chances that it's milk sup
ply is all right The fact that this sec
ton produces large proportion of the
milk supply of Chicago is pretty good
assurance that all of the milk supplied
from the county is we'll inspected for
to the regular inspections of the state
and federal officials is added the con.
slant vigilance of the special represen-
tatives Of the Chicago health depart
ment. Few people have any idea of
the constant surveillance of the three
sets of officials over the producers to
keep the milk supply pure and up to
standard quality and there is little like
lihood that conditions anywhere in the
county can get so bad as to be danger
Gus. As showing how thorough this
inspection is recent occurrence out in
the county furnishes typical case. A
number of the milk producers were sum-
moned for conference with the in
spectors in order to warn them that
conditions around their dairies might
call for official action on the part Of
the inspectors. They were called up
simply because the inspectors were
afraid they were becoming careless and
because the inspectors did not want to
take any chances on being obliged to
proceed to extremes. In other words
conditions are not to be allowed to be-
come bad enough to fierce the inspectors
to take action and it is this constant
watchfulness that can be relied upon
to keep up all of the milk supply of the
county to the lawful standard.

ARRESTS JAY C. O'ARMOND
State OficiaI Declares That Arrest is
Simply for an Example and That AL
BARRIERS Will be Forced to Pay the
Required Feea

BARRIERS III Kenosha are under lnves-
legation and the State Board of Bar
Der Examiners has started the work
of cleaning up Kenosha. Not that
Kenosha barber shops are unsanitary
or that Kenosha BARRIERS are incompe-
tent but the state board has reached
the decision that Kenosha has failed
to recognize the authority of the board
and it is determined that every bar
Der that Yields razor in Kenosha
shall come across.
1t has been two years since the
state board invaded Kenosba but on
Thursday afternoon Secretary Charles
l.. Wehlitz of the board came to Ken
osha from Milwaukee and within ten
minutes after he had hit the city he
caused warrant to be issued for the
arrest of Jay G. DeArmond well
known Main street barber. DeArmond
was charged with practicing his trade
without having state license display
ed in his shop. The secretary explain
cd that he had the names of ten other
BARRIERS in Kenosha who had failed to
pay the annual fee for registration and
that the arrest Of DeArmond was sim
ply an example of what the state board
planned to do. He declared that De-
Almond had sneered at the demands
of the board and that for this reason
he was selected as the "goat" for
the opening of the prosecution.
DeArmond declared that the fault
was all with the state board insisting
that he was working under permit
and that he had offered to pay his in
debtedness provided the state board
would give him a statement of it but
that his letters to the secretary of the
board had brought evasive replys and
that for this reason no settlement had
been made. When arraigned before
Judge Randall DeArmond entered a
plea of equity" and was fined ten
dollars and the costs of the action
lie paid the fine and it is probable that
he will secure a license from the state
board. Several of the other BARRIERS
in the city arranged to take the ex-
animation and advanced the fees be-
fore the secretary left the city and it
was announced that all of them would
meet the conditions demanded by the
state within ten days. The state board
through the secretary declared that all
failing to get a license in that time
would be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law
Kenosha has been something of
thorn in the flesh of the state barber
board The long fight between the
board and former Mayor German re-
suited in complete victory for the
Mayor. He alleged that he had sent
formal application to the board and
after many prosecutions the board
came to his way of looking at the mat
ter and his card shows the number that
he originally claimed when he asked
for license before the opening of the
long trouble with M. H. Whitaker, the
former secretary of the board.
1t is claimed that the Kenosha barber
shops were found in good condition by
the secretary who made an inspection
of them on Thursday.
