TO PRESENT NEW ORDINANCE.
Railway Company to Seek to Clear q,
Elizabeth st. Troubles at Once.

WithHhe property owners refusing to
withdraw suits which are delaying the
paving of Elizabeth street the officials
of the Kenosha Electric Railway com
pany have decided to present a new
franchise ordinance to the city council
at the next meeting. This ordinance
will provide for valuation of the fran
chise rights claimed by the company on
Elizabeth street and it is not thought
that it will meet with any opposition.
The only portions of the street in ques-
tion are the three blocks between West
Main and Ashland avenue and the block
at the west end of the street. With
the assurance that the council will pass
this ordinance the company will be
ready to go ahead and do such paving
as is called for under the present fran
chise ordinance. The plan is simply to
get things fixed up so that the company
will be secured single track on the
street.

JAIL FOR sPEEDERs.
New Law Leaves Court no Discretion in
Case Man is Twice Arrested.

The new state law in regard to the
regulation of speed of automobiles
promises to be a help to the motorcycle
squad Of the police department. for in
the future people twice arrested for VIC
lating the speed laws must serve term
in Jail. Judge Randall said this morn
ing: My reading of this law is that
the court has no alternative but to com
nit to Jail when speeders are arrested
the second time. I want the people of
the city to understand this new speed
law in order that they may be fully
advised as to the risks they are tax
ing.' Police Officer Matt Wade who
is now at the head of the motorcycle
squad was busy on Tuesday and as a
result Eugene Birmingham was arrest
ed on charge of speeding in an auto
mobile and Louis Bernhoff and Otto
Watersdorf were taken on charge of
speeding with motorcycles. The men
in court today and the usual
fines were assessed.

REVISE THE RULES.
Government Issues New Rules Regard
ing Regulation of Motor Boats.

Pursuant to the item in these columns
about a week ago regarding the new
inspection ruling applying to steam pro-
PEELED motor boats between the lengths
of 40 and 65 feet, owners of such boats
are requested to note that the following
is the revised reading Of the "Regu-
ldtlon of Motor Boats dated April IL
"Sec. 13 In lieu of the inspection of
steam vessels now provided by Sections
4417, 441S and 1926. Revised Statutes,
it is now required that the design of
the engine, boiler or other operating
machinery of motor boats more than
40 feet in length and not more than 65
feet in length propelled by machinery
driven by steam shall be approved by
the local Inspectors.
can steam vessels more than IS feet
in length are subject to inspection as
heretofore.
"Motor boats propelled otherwise
than by steam of above Is gross tons,
carrying freight or passengers for hire,
but not engaged in fishing as a reg
ular business, are subject to inspection
whether over or under IS feet in length.
"The only officer required to be car
ried on motor boats within the con
temptation Of the act of June 0, 1910, is
the licensed operator provided for in
the act.'
The attention Of motor boat owners
is called to the fact that section 3 Of
the regulations, pertaining to lights,
will be strictly enforced after July 1.
Owners are requested to read this Sec
ton carefully to provide their boats
with lights of the proper sized lenses,
the material to be used in the construc-
ton of the latter also being accurately
specified.
Though the revenue cutter, Tuscarora
has been in commission only a few
months, she has been exceedingly busy
watching the smaller craft and enforc-
ing the equipment rulings in lower Lake
Michigan ports. Capt. Cantwell, how
ever, has merely taken records Of vioZ
lations and issued warrants.

Mrs. William Warvelle, one of the
oldest pioneer residents of the city,

O'Clock at the age of 81 years. Death

childhood in Liverpool, England. She
migrated to America and came to

she was married to the late William
Warvelle. She has resided in Kenosha
continuously for the past 81 years.

the older residents of the city and her
death has caused much sorrow in the
neighborhood. She is survived by three
children, two daughters, Mrs. John
Rock Of Kenosha and Mrs. P. w. Mel
son of ST. Paul, Minnesota, and one
son, George W. Warvelle of Chicago.

NEW CHURCH FOR PARIS.
Catholics of Western Town to Erect
Handsome Church This Year.

Members Of the Catholic church in
the town of Paris are planning on the
erection of a handsome new church
during the present year and it promises
to be one Of the finest Of the Catholic
churches in the county outside Of the
city. The annual picnic held on Tues
day was to raise funds for the church
and a large sum of money was raised.
The committee in charge is hopeful that
money can be secured so that the
church can be dedicated late in the fall
without any Indebtedness. The Paris
congregation is strong numerically and
the loyalty Of the people to the congre
cation is certain to make possible the
plans of the building committee. Work
on the church will be started at once.

Kenosha People Shoot Fire
works and Blow Horns, but
Serious Damage Absent
PARKS CROWDED WITH PEOPLE

Kenosha had a reasonably sane
Fourth of July on Tuesday and as a
result of the good sense shown by the
people in the celebration of the day
few accidents were reported by the
physicians Of the city when the day
came to close on Tuesday evening. A
half q dozen boys and girls about the
city suffered from powder burns, but
none Of the accidents was serious.
The most serious incident of the day
was the injury of the hand of Vernon
Armstrong, ten year old boy who had
his hand badly burned by the explosion
of giant frecfacker.
There was plenty of noise in Kenosha
and the popping of the frecrackers was
kept up during the entire day and late
into the night. The streets of the city
were stewn with the refuse Of the
celebration this morning and it will
take several days to clean them up.
More than 1000 people went out to
Paddoeks Lake to attend the big cele-
b1ation given by the Old Settlers club.
It was a hot day at the Old Settlers
grounds, but notwithstanding the heat
the picnic was s. great success The
feature of the picnic was the ball game
between the Somers, Greys and the Lake
Views which was won by the Lake
Views by a score of l to 0.
The bathing beaches drew the biggest
crowds of the year on Tuesday and all
day starting with the early morning
the beaches were crowded
There were scores of fireworks dis
plays in Kenosha Tuesday evening, the
most notable being at the grounds of
the Kenosha Country club More than
five hundred people witnessed the dis
play from the club grounds and it is
estimated that 1000 people were as
sembled about the grounds.
The day fireworks at the Country
club was the novelty of the day Bombs
were exploded and these released figures
Of animals, men and women, birds and
fishes and the children had a merry
romp fighting for the figures as they
came down.
The success of the movement for a
sane Fourth in Kenosha will probably
lead to a fight to make the plan per-
manant and at an early meeting the
council will be asked to pass an ordi-
nance which will insure the permanence
of sane celebrations. These ordinances
are being passed by the leading cities
Of the nation and the reduction in the
dead and injured shown on Tuesday is
the best argument in favor of such
regulation.

City Council Elects August
Baltzer City Engineer
Monday Evening
S TR0NG RECOMMENDATIONS

August Baltzer, a Kenosha man, was
elected city engineer to succeed Robert
Ii. Moth, recently resigned, by the com
mon council at the meeting held on
Monday evening and he assumed the du-
tics of his new office this morning.
Mr.. Baltzer will receive a salary of
$1,000 year, the same that was paid
to the retiring engineer. The election
OF the new. man was for the unexpired
term and he will hold the office until
a successor is elected in next March.
The new engineer has lived in and
about Kenosha fer a number of years
and at the present time is practicing
his profession of an architect.
He is graduate of one of the Ger
man universities and recommendations
sent to the special committee composed
of George Wade, Joseph G. Rhode and
Robert Burt indicate that he has had
a wide experience in general building
and not little experience in municipal
work. He has never held the Office of
city engineer in any city before.
MIR. Baltzer was recommended for the
Office by . majority of the members of
the special committee and they based
their recommendation largely on the
letters given him by well known manu-
facturers of the city. Mr.. Baltzer has
been employed as a concrete expert by
the factories in Kenosha for some time.
tPreVious to this he was an engineer al
Winthrop Harbor and associated with
number of companies in that village
Alderman Rhode brought in minori-
ty report urging the council to further
consider the applications of either J.
II. Chuhb or Charles M. Powell of Chi
cage, believing that they were better
equipped for the Office. An effort was
made to have the council 60 into the
committee OF the whole for discus
sion Of the merits of the various can
didates, but this effort failed and when
vote on the question was reached Mr..
Baltzer received ten votes, c. NJ. Powell
J, j. III. Chubb l, and J. Fl. Williams /
The, council by unanimous vote de-
cided that for the present the new en-
glneer should give all of his time to the
experimenting of the building of the
trunk sewer and he will take personal
charge OF this wor1 relieving, TIL, in
speetor OF this work of passing on
material to 60 into the big sewer. 1t
is expected that the action of the coun-
ell III electing an engineer will put an
end to all the troubles over the sewer
construction and that Engineer Baltzer
VIII rule with an iron hand and see
to 1t that the contractors follow the
specifications to the letter.
The contractors have declared that
they do not think that there will be anv
further trouble on the sewer. No sew
er matters were brought before the
council on Monday night, it being the
idea of the aldermen that all troubles
could be settled by a competent engi-
neer acting for the city.

FOURTH OF JULY FIRE.
Department. Fights Blaze on Third Floor
of the Garfield House Near the Deno+

The Kenosha fire department was call
ed out just after four o'clock Fourth
of July morni ! on account of blaze
which broke out in one of the bed rooms
on the third floor of the Garfield house
near the Northwestern depot. The fire
had secured good start, but it was
extinguished with the use of a tank of
chemicals. The smoke from the burning
bed clothing had spread to other parts
of the hotel, but there was no panic
among the guests. The chief of the de
partment asserts that the fire is not
chargeable to the celebration
of the Fourth but that it was the result
of some one dropping a lighted cigar
in the room. The loss from the blaze
was less than hundred dollars.
