DR.. Doty's statement continues:
THE facts are these: The five mrn re-
ferred to were called as witnesses by
the persons in charge of the investi-
cation and were permitted by me to be
absent from duty at Hoffman Island for
this purpose. Cholera is not transmit
ted by clothing or by air, but by actual

no danger whatever from contact With

THE COMING OF TAFT.

As an indication Of the effect OF
Mr.. Taft's recent visit to this state,
from an insurgent standpoint, the
following editorial from the Law
renee Gazette Is Of interest:
President Taft came, we saw
him, and he has gone. That he Is
stronger In Kansas today than he
was before goes without saying, ior
no one can hear President Taft, see
him, and mark the earnestness and
sincerity OF his speech and action
without believing in him. And
those who do not believe with him,
either among Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, concede readily that he is hon
est, sincere, and with the welfare of
the people his one desire.
There is no foolish talk In Kansas
now about Taft being untrue to his
party, the country and the people.
The man who intimates such thing
merely draws down upon himself
the contempt of all who hear him. 1t
is the right of any man to differ
and to oppose the ideas Mr.. Taft ad-
vocates, and many do, but no SEN
sibie, honest man is heard now who
doubts or desires the high purposes
and the absolute integrity OF the
man who is at the head of the ma
ton.
Possibly no one in Kansas doubt
ed him before he came, but many, in
fact, all who saw and heard him
were deeply impressed by the candor
and the eainestness of his declara-
tions. And all honor him for his
positive stand on every public ques-
tion. whether agreeing with him or
not. And his presence among us
brought out the indisputable fact
that when the time comes for an
other election, Kansas will be count
ed in the Taft column. Many He
publicans there are in Kansas VINO

Some of the members Of the school
board are insisting that the disputed
contract for the heating plant in the
addition to the Frank school stand as
it is now, but the members Of the
board who prefer that the business of
the board shall be transacted accord
ing to the established and proper usage
will probably go right ahead with their
objections and if the Bogart men on
the board can muster sufficient strength
to stop action in that body the letting
Of this contract will be subjected to a
review by the courts unless there is a
decided change in the views of the men
who are insisting on a reopening of
the whole matter. In this connection
it may be well to recall the remark
of the judge who reviewed the evidence
in the suit started to overturn a con-
tract let by the council for paving
work, which suit was successful. He said
that while no evidence had been pre-
scented to show that there had been col
fusion in the letting of the contract
that there might have been collision.

Annual State License of S.
for Automobiles and So
for Motor Cycles
CITY SPEED LIMIT IS Is MILES

Substitute No. "a to the Bichler bill,
licensing automobiles and motorcycles,
was adopted and the bill was ordered
engrossed in the assembly Friday morn
ing.
The revised measure provides for an
annual automobile state license of So a
year for automobiles and So year for
motorcycles. Three-fourths of the IL
cense money goes to the county for the
improvement of highways under the
direction of the county boards.
Under the provisions of the measure,
the speed limit in cities is placed at
fifteen miles an hour md at twenty
five miles an hour in the country. In
stead of one license number, two are
required, one on the front and the
other on the rear Of the machine.
Two amendments, one by Assembly
man Frye, increasing the minimum fine
for speeding from $25 to $50, and an
other by Assemblyman Bichler, auth
orizing the secretary of state to employ
an automobile clerk at salary of
$500 to assist in the work that would
follow the passage of the measure,
were rejected.
Action on the Mahon bill, creating a
free text book commission, was defer
red until later upon the request of the
author who declared that he was physi-
cally unable to lead the fight for the
measure on Wednesday.
No. 851A, originally known as the
Ballard bill, relating to child labor,
was passed. The bill drafted by the
committee on national and interstate
commerce relating to the sales of goods
and providing laws uniform with those
of other states also was passed. The
Gulickson bill, relating to liquor Ii
censes, was killed

Unknown Man Found Dead Along st.
Paul Tracks South of Trussdan.

The remains of an unknown man were
picked up along the tracks of the Chi
cage, Milwaukee and st. Paul road just
south Of the village of Truesdell yes
terday afternoon and they are now be-
ing held at the Conrad and Hart morgue
IN Waukegan pending the Identification
of the dead man. The only thing on
the body which may lead to an identi-
fcation was pin which indicated that
the man was member of the knights
of the Maccabees The man is supposed
to have been struck by a north bound
train and was walking along the track
at the time of the accident. The engl-
neer and fireman in charge of the train
claim that they did not know that the
man had been killed. They admit see
ing the man walking along the track
and declare that they blew the whistle
to warn him of danger and that they
supposed he got out of the way of the
train. The remains were not badly
mangled and it is thought possible
that the man might have been struck
by the side of the train with such force
as to have caused his death.
The Waukegan officials think possible
that the man was Kenosha county
man. He is described as about forty
years of age and wore the clothes of a
workingman. He wore black coat and
two shirts, one of blue and the other
of white So far as can be learned
there is no one missing from Kenosha
answering the description of the dead
man.

Misses Eva Wells and Bell
Karnell on Santa Fe Train
Wrecked in New Mexico
ESCAPE WITH SLIGHT BRUISES

The Misses Eva Wells and Belle Kar-
nell, well known Kenosha young women,
had a narrow escape from death on
Friday afternoon when train in which
they were speeding toward the Pacific
coast was wrecked by a head on col
Hsion on the Sante Fe line near Domin-
go, New Mexico. Late Friday evening
kilograms were received from the
young ladies stating that they had es-
capped serious injury. Before that time
reports had been received that there
had been a great loss of life in the
wreck and the friends of the Kenosha
ladies were very anxious in regard to
the accident. Early this morning night
letters were received from the young
women stating that they were in the
sleeping cars of the train and that these
did not leave the track. The train
was running at speed of sixty miles
an hour when it ran into a freight
tram. Six OF the forward coaches LETT
the track and one man was killed and
a score injured. Nearly all of the pas
sengers on the train suffered slight in
juries but the two Kenosha girls were
in the last coach but one and they were
thrown from their seats to the aisle
of the car but escaped with slight
bruises. Railroad officials attribute the
wreck to the fact that the engineer in
charge of the freight train failed to
obey orders given him. Miss Wells and
Miss Karnell left Domingo to continue
their journey late Friday evening and
the accident will in no way interfere
with their plans for the trip.

If the all encompassing statement Of
everything under the sun is appropriate
and fitting in making an assertion of
the manifold attractions of the Hagen
beck Wallace Shows, which exhibits
here June 20 then so be it. But con-
strue the statement literally and add a
little imagination and even then, after
seeing this many featured amusement
enterprise, there may be no subsequent
Indictment for exaggerating and per-
version Of the truth. Figuratively
spe a king, the HagenbeckWallace
Shows have spread dragnet over the
amusement and geological universe and

tifc assortment Of the great catch, re-
tanned all that was wonderful or strik-
ingly sensational, and cast away the
equal in size to the largest of ether
similar shows, embracing performances
and exhibitions that are as complete
as brains, capital, ingenuity and talent
can make them. Then there are the
European novelty performances of mar
velous and startling interest, and
complete Oriental exposition given in
its entirety by natives of the far East
that is at once magical and mysterious,
fascinating and fantastic. DIV

CLAIM ACTION UNWARRANTED
Jity Attorney Stewart Makes Formal
Demand Upon the State Game War
den for an Investigation and for
Damages for Local Men

Spurred on by the taunts of their
friends and by the knowledge that some
of the sixty pike caught under the
burning sun on Teal Lake had graced
the tables of well known Kenosha
politicians the Kenosha fishermen, Cal
vim Stewart, Judge Taylor and Matthias
Werve, have made a formal demand
upon the game warden's department
for an investigation of the seizure of
their fish at Madison last Monday
morning and there is going to be some
thing doing. This morning the city at
torney opened the fight for the fish in
the following letter sent to the state
game warden:
To the Chief Game Warden, y
Madison, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir
In the 5th of this month, party
consisting Of Matthias Werve, George
W. Taylor and myself, while peacefully
sleeping, [ presume, upon some side
track, up at Madison in sleeping car,
one of your deputies taking advantage
of our slumber, after several days of
strenuous fishing, stole upon us in the
night, and without cause, provocation
or justification, therefor, plundered and
robbed us of the fruits of our labor,
and took from us all the fish which
we had caught.
Now it is not my desire to censure
you for the act of your deputy, nor do
| intend to prosecute the eminently
respectable people who received the
stolen property and whose palates are
now tickled by the same, but [ do feel
that our party should be reimbursed
in some manner, for this wrong.
These fish cost us more than one dol
lar per pound, and although most of
the party (omitting myself) are capable
of buying all the fish they need, we all
insist that our own fish have a much
finer flavor than those we buy at the
market, therefor, feeling that you, as
chief game warden, at all times are
desirious of doing the right thing should
in some manner make reparation for
this wrong.
[ was advised before starting on the
trip, to steer clear of Madison, as the
opinion is becoming quite general
among the people, that their property
is IN great jeopardy while passing
through the city, owing to the activity
of some of the deputy game wardens
at that place; and I am very sorry at
this time, that / refused to heed the
advice then given me. 1t is indeed
a strange state of affairs that citizen
of Wisconsin cannot pass through the
capitol Of his own state, without feel
ing that he is going to be insulted, i'll
treated, and robbed, for that is the way
our party feel, and there are others
who feel the same.
We had violated none of the fish and
game laws of Wisconsin, and knowing
that we were strictly within the law,
at all times on our trip, we do not
deem it necessary to sleep upon the
boxes of fish, on our journey home, and
we cannot believe that we violated any
law, by engaging passage in a sleeping
car.
Trusting You will give this matter
your attention, and make right this mis-
take and manifest wrong, [ remain,
Yours very truly, u
Calvin Stewart.

The action Of the council in putting
the city engineer in charge of the
building of the trunk sewer as the
representative of the city aud relieving
him of all the other duties for the time
being is being very well received all
over the city. This is the biggest pub
lie improvement ever undertaken by
the city and it cannot be too we'll
looked after and the aldermen are wise
in so arranging matters that there
will be no divided responsibility if
anything goes wrong with this work
and it is found when it is too late to
remedy defects that the sewer has not
been built in strict accordance with the
specifications. City Engineer Moth has
been the representative of the city in
all the plans for the trunk sewer since
the project was first started and there
is no one in the city who should be so
familiar with all Of the details of the
work and Just exactly what the con-
tractors have agreed to do as he is.
Under the arrangement made by the
council he will have nothing else to do
except devote all of his time to the
sewer and protect the interests of the
city, There need be no delays in re-
ferring any matters in dispute to the
city engineer S office for decision for
the head of the engineering department.
