SISTERS NAMED DEFENDANTS
Mrs. o. S. Newell Formerly of Keno
sha and Mrs. Harriet G.. Sabin OF
New York Claim That Brother
Seeks to Blackmail Them.

Mrs. 0. S. Newell of Lake Forest,
formerly one of the best known women
OF Kenosha, and her sister, Mrs. Har-
riet G. Sabin of New York, are named
as parties to an action brought in the
courts of New York by G. Edwin
Jones, their brother, who seeks to re-
cover portion of the property of his
father, the late Daniel Jones, which
he alleges was willed to his sisters by
their step-mother at the time of her
death in California some time ago.
The story Of the action is pretty well
known to close friends of Mrs. Newell
in Kenosha and it is the second time
that the brother has gone into court
with a view of securing the property
which was left by his step-mother to
his two sisters, the case having been
thrown out of the lower courts in New
York. Jones is a broker and was
formerly in business in both New York
and Chicago, but his business was i'll
fated and he was forced into bank
ruptcy.
The charges brought by Jones
against his sisters allege that they
used undue influence in securing will
from the step-mother which gave the
bulk of the estate to the sisters. Mrs.
Sabin has made statement in which
she declares that the action brought
by the brother is blackmail and she
declares that the agreement under
which Jones is now suing to recover
the portion of the estate was made
under a threat of blackmail.
Mrs. Newell was never served with
the papers in the action and she is not
directly a party to the suit in the New
York courts.

to Bring Out Opposition.

There seems to be practically no OPP
position now to the passage of the bill
giving counties power to erect tuber-
culosis sanatoria and providing state
aid for the same at the rate of So per
patient per week.
When the measure was before the
joint committee of the house and SEN

vanced against the bill. At this hear
ing Assemblyman Youmans, author of
the bill; Secretary Bronson of the Osh-
kosh Chamber of Commerce; Secretary
G. A. Harper of the state board of
health, who also is an assemblyman;
Statistician Hutchcroft of the state
board of health; DR.. Edward Evans Of
Lacrosse and Drs. III. E. Dearholt and
M. P. Ravenel of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association spoke. All
questions brought out facts favorable
to the bill.
The Wisconsin Auti tuberculosis as
ISOLATION has done all in its power to
obtain the passage of this bill as the
establishment of county sanatoria will
be one of the biggest steps ever taken
in the white plague war in this state.

The bill permitting counties to es-
tablsh tuberculosis sahatorias and pro-
viding state aid at the rate of So per
week per patient is making steady
progress through the legislature and no
opposition to the bill has developed
at any of the committee hearings which
have been had on the bill. Kenosha
county IS interested in this measure
for while the sentiment in favor Of
the establishment of such an institu-
tion in this CO" ~ or one jointly with
Racine county may not develop strong
ly enough to demand action on this
project at the next meeting of the
board of supervisors in the fall it I'M
questionably is gaining strength as
the campaign against the white plague
goes on. The physicians and members
of the anti-tuberculosis association
who have been pushing this project
for sanatorium for Kenosha county
patients in the advanced stages Of the
disease will be much encouraged by
the passage of this bill which will clear
the way for such an institution and
their work along these lines may be
expected to show results in the near
future.

Kenosha and Racine Choral
Societies Unite in Musical
Program Here May "a
GREAT CHORUS IN TRAINING

Kenosha Choral society announce
their third concert for May the oath,
and on this occasion to be given in the
Rhode Opera House and not in the
Coliseum as formerly. Bethany
was sung with great success in Ra-
cine last year by the choral society
there and the invitation to sing with
the Kenosha club was gladly ac-
copied. The Racine society numbers
among its members the best singers
of Racine and the combined choirs of
the two cities will number close to
two hundred. This will be the largest
and best trained chorus that has ever
been heard III Kenosha, being almost
twice as large as the chorus that sang
Elijah SO successfully two years ago.
Bethany" by Rys-Herbert, is a
sacred cantata in two parts for solo
and chorus of mixed voices, with or
chestral accompaniment. Bethany is
the simple and sweet home of Lazarus
and his sisters, Mary and Martha,
wherein Jesus "the homeless one'' Of
ten found rest and comfort, and where
some of the Wondrous deeds of the
Master took place.
Part one deals with the visit Of the
disciples from Jerusalem, who pay
tribute to the quiet and renowned vii
lage as they approach it, who, when
in the presence of the Master seek
his words of truth and wisdom, are
received lovingly, are taught the par
able of the Good Shepherd and Of the
departure of Jesus to the magistrates
of the hills, where he prays and com
munes with his Father.
Part two opens with the news
brought to Jesus of Lazarus sickness
and death, the sorrow and lamentation
at the Bethany home, the coming of
Jesus to awake him, the dialogue with
Martha concerning the resurrection, the
raising of Lazarus, the rejoicing over
the miracle, the departure of Jesus
again to the hills, his hour drawing
nigh, the disciples foreboding of trou-
BILE Detailing their Master, and their
final repoicing in the hope that the
kingdom, love, truth and righteousness
would soon be established upon the
earth.
The solo parts of Mary, Martha,
Lazarus, Messenger, Jesus and quar-
tette of mixed voices will be sung by
some of the leading singers in Keno
sha and Racine, and the program will
be announced later. One of the most
beautiful parts is where the XIII
Psalm is sung, capella, by the entire
male chorus.
The Kenosha Choral society have
chartered special car and will go to
Racine for the final rehearsal on, May
23rd.
schulte's orchestra of Racine, with
Mrs. Kaltenbach of Kenosha at the
piano, will furnish the accompaniment.
Rev. Walter Of Kenosha and Mrs.
Anna Peat Fink of Racine will be
the conductors.
A great many out of town people
have signifed a desire to attend this
concert and special cars will run from
Racine and Waukegan to accommodate
those who wish to attend. Tickets
may be had at the Schulze Music
Store, Becker's New Stand, or any
member Of the club.

One of the measures that the legis~
lature will be expected to put through
before adjournment is a good roads
bill of some kind. The people Of Wis
consin voted in favor of state aid for
highways by a big majority and the
delay in passing measure which will
put into operation their expressed de-
mands is inexcusable on any ground
whatever If the members of the leg
islature are unable to draw a measure
of their own let them turn to one of
the eastern states where good roads
laws have been in successful operation
for years and copy its law on the sub
ject verbatim. They could not go so
far wrong that any great damage
would be done before the next legis-
lature could deal with any amendments
found necessary to meet different con
ditions in Wisconsin and the great
thing is to make some kind of start
before Wisconsin gets so far behind
in this highway Improvement work
that it will take years to catch up to
the standard established in other
states. All that this good roads move
.ment needs in this state is a start I'M
less results are to be different than
they have been in every other state
which has ever passed any of this leg
islation. A lot of valuable time has
already been lost but this legislation
should be put in shape before adjourn
ment so that work on highway i'm
provement can begin in earnest this
fall or next summer at the latest.

The order closing the general deliv-
cry window at the postofice on Sun
days comes from the headquarters of
the postal department at Washington
and not as a result of any petitions
fled by the clerks or officials of the
local Office. The order is in line with
the present policy of the department
to do away with all Sunday labor as
far as possible and there is no appeal
from it. The closing Of all offices
throughout the country on Sunday has
been accomplished with very little
friction for almost without exception
the patrons of the Offices recognize the
right of the postofice employees to
one day of rest week. Conditions are
little different here than in most
cities on account of our large foreign
population which has been accustomed
to transact its business with the office
on Sunday, but it is not expected that
new order closing the general delivery
window is understood.

Americas Men Found Many
Home Seekers There

Wallis turned yesterday from brief
visit TO South Florida, they making the
trip to that section to study some de-
velopment plans now in progress there
and obtain at first sight an idea Of the
ercnings there for profitable invest
;lcat.
Mr.. Bells brother is secretary Of a
railroad corporation that is planning
road from Tampa to Miami, a dis
Itance of over two hundred miles, that
will open up some fine country, rich
in timber and agricultural prospects.
The section traversed by it will be
largely virgin country in which a RAP
id development is anticipated as soon
as transportation facilities are furn-
ished.
Both of the Americas visitors were
delighted with the outlook in that part
of Florida and predict rapid eXpan-
sion there in population and wealth.
at is probably the very finest sec
ton of the state" said Mr. Bell and
once it is opened up to settlers | eX-
pect a tremendous development. The
possibilities there in fruit and vegeta-
BILE culture are almost beyond belief
The soil will produce a great variety
Iproftably and all that is needed is
prompt connections with the great
markets to make their cultivation
there a money making proposition
Lands are still cheap, but there will be
some big jumps in their price during
the next few years. All of south Flor
ida is on a boom hundreds and thous-
| ands of home-seekers pouring in, and
the day of cheap lands there will soon
be numbered with the past. Those
who get in now will reap the harvest
that comes from great growth in pop
ulation."
Each OF Iue AHleIlcuS travellers mas
his own private story.>to tell as illus
trating what can be done in that fav-
ored part of South Florida.
Here is Mr.. Bells: Down there.
they tell me, you can plant turnip seed
and two weeks later be eating the
crop" >
Here is Mr.. WalliS: Down there
they tell me, you plant ordinary GU
cumber seed and get a dill pickle the
