TO PROTECT FARMERS.
Crusade Against Swindling Nursery
Agents Started.

| The state of Wisconsin has started
| a campaign against nursery stock
Iswindlers, that will save the farmers
thousands of dollars annually. The
scope of the campaign now in progress
is outlined this week. The article is
written by Mary Burchard Orvis and
published in the LaFollette Magazine
"Closely akin to the crusades
against false weights and measures is
the fight that Wisconsin is putting up
against the swindlers whose special
prey is the farmer,' says the article.
Thousands Of dollars have been lost
annually through the dishonesty of the
men who sold nursery stock. It was
no gullibility On the part of the vic
Tins that made such thing possible,
but rather the nature of the business
itself. For the farmer s only protec-
ton lies in an efficient department. of
inspection and an efficient law against
such fraud. How can he protect him
self, when his first intimation of de-
ception comes at bearing time, several
years after his purchases of trees? By,
the time he has proof, the agent who
sold the goods has generally disap-
peared.
"For instance, four men representing
themselves to be forestry men, sold
thousands of dollars worth of inferior
trees around Milwaukee, and before
they were found out, had SO complete
ly disappeared that the secret service
men were unable to catch them
James G. Sanders, who has charge
Of this work in the university, has sue
ceeded also in inaugurating systema-
tic campaign against fraudulent in
secticides. His suspicious have already
been more than justified for many so
called insecticides have been found
to be worse than useless. One thirty
five cent can of 'Paris Green,o con-
tanned ffty-seven per cent of plaster
of paris, worth quarter of a cent
pound. That these fraudulent concerns
can now be put out of business is pos
sible under the new law administered
by the state entomologist.

BLAMES McCoMBER COMPANY.
Railway Co. Claims Changed Plans
Delayed Putting in Switch.

The Northwestern Railway company
has come out in its own defense in
connection with the delay in the put
ing in the switch for the McComber-
Whyte plant in Kenosha and the agents
OF the company claim that the DELAY is
not due to the officials of the company
but to the officials of the McComber-
Whyte company. The Northwestern
agents claim that the switch would
have been installed weeks ago had it
not been for the fact that the mann.
featuring company made many changes
In the plans for the switch and that
these changes made it necessary to get
up an entirely new set of specifications
The company agents claim that the
switch will now be put in at once and
that a gang of men is in Kenosha ia
do the work.

WANT COLD WEATHER
Hunters Anxious for Frosts
to Come and Drive Ducks
From the North
LOTS OF SPORT PROMISED

While ducks are far more plentiful
in Wisconsin than could have been
hoped for considering conditions, hunt
ers are praying for drop in tempera-
ture that will bring them down from
the north. The weather this fall has
been exceedingly warm, and, as a nat
ural result the birds have in great
measure chung to their northern feed
ing grounds. Should stiff drop in
temperature take place it is expected
that the thrush viii shatter the prece-
dent of years.
There has been a good deal of shoot
ing going on and the birds have nat
urally become shy. The hunting on
Lake Winnebago has been better than
for several years past and the same
thing can be said for surrounding
lakes. Large numbers of mudhens
and ricehens, both of which are excel
lent eating if properly prepared, have
been shot, but while they appear to
be plentiful they keep to the deep
water during the day, making hunting
difficult.
The hunters appear to be observing
the law strictly as far as the taking
out of licenses is concerned and few
arrests have been reported throughout
the state for violations of this char
acter. This is probably due to the fact
that the fno for non-observance has
been greatly increased. Last year
the minimum was $25 and the maxi
mum 800. The minimum fine is now
$50 and the maximum 5000, with a
maximum alternative Jail sent nee of
six months.
The law is as follows:
"Any person who shall pursue, hunt
or kill game protected by laws of this
state without being at the time of such
pursuing, hunting or killing in posses
sion of license duly issued to him,
which license shall cover the period
in which he shall be so pursuing, hunt
ing or killing such game, or who shall
furnish to another person, during the
same open season for such game or
permit such another person to have,
during such season, a license issued
TO him, shall be find not less than $50
nor more than 5000, or be imprisoned
in the county Jail not less than two
months or more than six months.'

MethodistsNoWin Conference
Plan to Unite Churches i'm
ALI Cities of the State
REDUCE COST OF CHURCHWORK

A gigantic plan of consolidation OF
the Methodist churches in the state
may be formulated before the close OF
the Wisconsin conference which open.
cd its sixty-ffth session at Amigo
Wis, Tuesday, with 100 ministers and
over 200 laynlen in attendance. This is
the most notable change in the church
order which has been talked of fo1
years. Primarily it will affect most the
cities where there is more than one
Methodist church.
During recent years many new CON
gregations have sprung up in the cities,
building their own edifees, and paying
their own preachers, while a mile OF
SO away there is another church of the
same denomination. The result has
been that small structures have been
erected for small sums and they lack
in spaciousness and beauty, features
which laymen now believe should be

lions, being small, have also been IN
able to pay large salaries.
Ii the proposed consolidation is de-
cided upon, a vast united body of Meth
odists will result, capable of erecting
a magnificent central cathedral de-
signed and furnished in modern and
handsome style. The improved modes
of transportation are held responsible
for the proposed change, they being
such that central house of worship
can easily be reached
In Milwaukee, for instance, the lay
ment point out, there are eighteen
Methodist churches. If these were
united it can easily be seen what an
immense fund could be raised each
year for its support. A great church
could be erected. embodying all the
best features and yieing with the cath
edrals abroad. Several pastors would
be necessary, it is believed, to take
scare Of the large congregations.

LAKE SHIPPING LOW

kEN0sHA FAR DOWN THE LIST


The shipping business on the great
lakes for the summer months seems to
have been decidedly light and the re-
port of the government of arrivals and
departures show that during the month
OF July it was not up to other months
Iof the summer. Lake men in Kenosha
assert that the season has been very
quiet one all along the lakes and that
henosha has proportionately held hel
own. Waukegan and Gary were the
only two ports in this district to have
la smaller number of arrivals than Ke
nosha during the month, but several
|of the lake ports fall below Kenosha
in the list Of arrivals for the seven
months just issued. 1t is expected
that there will be decided increase
IN the lake shipping within short
time due to coal movement.

MAKES NO DEFENSE IN COURT
Judge Randall Gives Man Minimum
Penalty of Five Years and District
Attorney May File Other Complaints
in the Case.

Joe Vezie, of Chicago, self confessed
white slaver'' pleaded guilty to
charges of OBTAINING girl against her
will for immoral purposes on Thurs
day afternoon and Judge Randall
sentenced the italian TO the state pri-
son for term of five years. Tt was
the minimum sentence under the Wis
consin law against the white slave
traffic and The, court in imposing the
sentence declared that had it not been
for the fact that Sadis Ambrose, the
young woman in the case, had been
shown to him to be woman "with a
past he would have insisted on Civ
ing the italian much heavier sent
ence
Vezie in court awaiting sentence de-
clared that he had never been arrest
ed on any charge before and insisted
that he was ignorant of the nature
OF the crime. He declared that he
had never taken any money from the
young woman and yet he insisted that
he was ready to plead "guilty" to
the charge against him. Vezie did not
make good impression in court and
he left the idea with the officials that
he was hurrying to take a sentence in
this court to prevent his being ar
rested and taken to some other court
for trial on possibly the same charge.
The local police officials believe that
Vezie has been connected with the
traffic in girls in other cities.
Evidence to support the story of the
girl was secured on Thursday when
Mayor M. j. Scholey received a letter
from the mother of the young woman
who resides at Altoona, Pa. In her
letter the mother stated that she had
received a card stating that her
daughter was being held in room in
Kenosha for immoral purposes and that
she had threatened to commit suicide
| If she was not rescued. The mother
appealed to the mayor to take some
steps to secure the immediate release
of the daughter and asked that she be
sent to her home in Altoona. The let
ter did not reach Kenosha until after
the arrest of Vezie and the mayor turn
ed it over to Judge Randall to aid
him in deciding as to the extent of
the guilt of Vezie..
District Attorney Hastings did not
order the release of the Ambrose WON
an after the sentence of Vezie, but
stated that she would be held for a
time, and until it was determined what
other action would be taken in the
case. At the time of the hearing of
Vezie Assistant District Attorney
Clarkson stated that other prosecutions
were being considered in the case but
as yet the district attorney had not
fully decided what would be done.
II is possible that the man who rent
ed the room to Vezie will be arrested
on a charge of renting building for
immoral purpoes. IF the district at
torney decides to proceed along these
lines it is probable that other warrants
in the case will be Issued today. The
complaint have already been drawn up
and the district attorney is looking in
to the evidence to support them.

ROUTES NOW BEING LAID OUT
Board Will be Asked to Take Final
Action on the Matter of Opening a
County Training School for Teachers
With State Aid.

Members Of the county board, who
will meet in annual session on Nov.
14th are already holding conferences
to discuss the action that the board
will take in regard to the operation OF
4. the new highway law and it is thought
pretty certain that this county will
elect to have highway commission
made up of leading citizens of the
county to look after the expenditure
Of the money that has been voted for
the building and rebuilding of roads
in the county. The towns have voted
a total Of $4,000 and this with the
amount that the county board must pro-
vide and the equal amount received
from the state will make total of
more than $4,000.
Under the law the counties have a
right either to name a special highway
commission to have charge Of the ex-
penditure of the funds or leave the
matter in the hands of the state high
way commission. If the second plan
should be adopted the state commission
will send an engineer to Kenosha
county to look after the work. In any
event it will be necessary for the
county board to outline a system of
county highways and it is expected
that this will bring one of the real
contests of the session The law pro-
vides that the system must provide for
roads which will center about the
county seat or which will be contin-
ued to the extreme limits Of the
county. Several systems have already
been outlined by members of the
county board, each of them seeking to
have his own town receive as much
benefit as possible. The board will be
forced to elect from one of these sys-
TENS. There is at present in The
hands of the county system of high.
ways made several years ago and this
may be revived.
At the November session the board
will also take up the important cues
tion of county training school for
teachers. This has been strongly urged
by County Superintendent j. J. Ker-
win, but it is being bitterly opposed
by some of the city members of the
board. 1t is understood that the county
ynenlbers of the board will stand to.
gether for the opening of the school
and it is probable that these men will
get a sufficient support, from the city
members to make the opening of the
school possible.
A plan will be presented to the
board providing for extensive repairs
on the old county building now used
us the home of the municipal court
These will include a new heating plant
and the remodeling of the building Sc
as to make it q little more suited fo1
the uses of the court. 1t is thought
that the plans now under consideration
can be carried out with small expen
diture and it is probable that they will
meet with favor from the supervisors
There will be the usual amount OF
routine business and it is certain that
the session viii be one of the most
important held by the board in recent
years.

Atty. General Holds That State Must
Give Facts in Regard to Candidates.


Give Facts in Regard to Candidates.
Attorney General Bancroft on We'd
nesday ruled, in reply to an inquiry
from Secretary of State Frear, that the
latter must compile, print and circulate
the campaign pamphlets provided for
by chapter $50, laws of 1911, common
ly known as the corrupt practices act,
before the primary and general cleo
tions next fall, Notwithstanding he will
have no poll lists of voters until after
the September election.
The law provides that copy of the
pamphlet shall be mailed TO every vot-
ter of the state certain number of
days before the primary and general
elections.
The attorney general suggests that
the secretary can get the names of
most of the voters by securing the poll
lists now held by county clerks.

ANNUAL SPRING FESTIVAL.
Neighborhood House Work to Be
Reviewed.

A review of the industrial work Of the
children of Neigbborhood House this
evening by the delegates in attendance at
the convention OF the National Play
ground and Recreation Association and
procession through the streets in the vi
entity Of the home at 40 n street south
west, in which every child connected with
the institution will participate, will mark
the closing day Of the ninth annual
Neighborhood House spring festival.
In the program yesterday afternoon

little goat wagon again being impressed
into the show, this time to represent a
prairie schooner.
The girls OF Neighborhood House had
III equally important part in the after
