Rose Purdue Has rendered
Her Resignation as a
Factory Inspector
HAD MADE VALUABLE OFFICIAL

Miss Rose Purdue of Milwaukee, as
sistant factory inspector who succeed
ed ID d. Evans as inspector in this
district and caused the arrest of sew
eral persons, has rendered her resig-
nation to take effect June l and the
bureau of labor and industrial sta
tistics will be under the necessity of
securing capable woman factory IL
spector in her place.
In her work of several years as
factory inspector Miss Purdue has
gained wide reputation as a sociolo-
gist of experience and ability. She has
addressed many gatherings of social
workers and has done much to improve
the conditions of the working girls and
women. Besides carrying out the
actual work of her position she has
taken personal charge of scores of in
dividual cases and has given her time
and energy to the alienation of suf-
fering in poor families. With what
support she has been able to get from
the county officials of Milwaukee she
has sought to enforce the child labor
laws in a manner that has aroused
comment in other large industrial
centers.
In her letter of resignation to Labor
Commissioner Joseph D. Beck, Miss
Purdue says that she intends to devote
herself to the work initiated by the
Big Sisters movement.
The position is under civil service at
the present time, but with the probable
organization of the new industrial
commission the inspectors may not be
under as rigid civil service rules as
formerly. The position will not be
filled until the organization of the new
board

Walter Dheim Whose Body
Was Found at Woodwork
hadBeen Missing aWeek
TAKE REMAINS TO MILWAUKEE,
(From Fridays Daily.)

The finding of the mangled body Of
Walter Dheim along the tracks of the
Northwestern railway near the village
of Woodwork on Thursday afternoon
brought to an end a mystery which
has been bothering the police of Racine
and Milwaukee for the past week.
Dheim disappeared from Racine last
Friday morning and since that time the
officials of the two cities had been
searching for him. Herman Engelsma,
1903 Twenty-fourth street, Milwaukee,
came to Kenosha Thursday evening and
stepson. The young man had suffered
from a mental ailment for some time
and for this reason it was feared that
he might have committed suicide by
jumping into the lake at Racine.
Dheim was seventeen years of age and
he had worked for time in GAINESVILLE
and had gone to Racine just a week
before he disappeared 1t is generally
thought that he had been wandering
about the county and that he attempted
to board an ice train when he was
caught and thrown under the wheels
and crushed. Coroner Stanton and the
father of the dead boy went out to
Woodwork on Thursday evening and
made an effort to get some more facts
in regard to the manner in which he
met his death, but they found abso-
lutelv no one who had seen the young
man or knew Of the manner Of his
death. The coroner's jury met to con-
slider the case this afternoon and the
remains of the unfortunate boy were
shipped to Milwaukee. The funeral will
be held on Thursday and the body will
be buried in one of the Milwaukee
cemeteries.
The boy was hard worker but for
some time he had been struggling
against his mental trouble. Notwith-
standing this fact his relatives believe
that his death was the result of an
accident and not suicide.

which the expenses of administration
will not be too high or too great bur

SPANISH VETS AT GAINESVILLE
Kenosha to Send Large Delegations to
Attend Both Meetings j. Smith
of Racine May Head the Grand
Army in the State.

Kenosha veterans of the civil war and
of the Spanish-American war are pre-
pairing for the annual state encamp-
ments which will soon be held. The
civil war veterans will meet in Green
Bay Thursday and Friday, June s and
8, while the United Spanish war vet
Grams will meet in GAINESVILLE Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 8, 4 and
5. It is expected that large delega-
tions of veterans of Kenosha together
with their auxiliary societies will at
tend these encampments and hotel
reservations are now being made. The
veterans of the civil war were to have
held their encampment in Green Bay
June 6, and s, but as the state con-
vention of Elks will be held there June
6 and Z and the hotel accommodations
are somewhat limited, the department
officials decided to hold their encamp-
ment later in the week.
Much interest is being taken among
the civil war veterans of this city over
the election of the department COM
mander at the Green Bay encampment
as III. j. Smith, a member of Gov. Har-
vey Post in Racine, has announced his
candidacy and has received assurances
of support from throughout the state.
The Racine post has never been honor
ed by the election of member as de-
,partment commander although R. B.
Lang who was elected senior vice de-
partment commander at the encamp-
ment held in Racine in 1908, became
department commander to succeed E.
d. COe who died during his term of
Office.
GAINESVILLE will rival San Antonio as
a military center on July 3-5, if the
plans of the citizens committee, the
Industrial club and GAINESVILLE camp of
the Spanish war veterans are carried
out. In addition to big fourth of
July celebration the state encampment
of the u. s. w. v. will be held in
GAINESVILLE.
Four camps will be established in the
city to accommodate the eight military
companies which have accepted invita-
tions to attend. It is expected that
national guardsmen will come from
Monroe, Fort Atkinson, Whitewater,
Madison, Beloit and companies A, F
and G from Milwaukee. In addition
to these, the Milwaukee Light battery,
with 1872 men, A guns and SO horses,
will come by special train, and it is
also hoped to secure the famous Troop
A Of the state metropolis.
Arrangements are. already under way
to provide camps and food for the
guardsmen. Bands from Edgerton,
Stoughton, Evansville, Watertown, Be
lott, and GAINESVILLE will furnish music.

The people who have been crltlclslng

have no complaints on the results Of its
labors in the past two or three days.
The police have made enough arrests
for clear violation sof the speed laws
to show beyond question that just such

city and there has been very notice
able let up in the racing through the
streets since the police began to make
arrests. That being the case and the
auto drivers pretty effectually tanned
for the time being at least the police
can afford to let up on them little
and turn their attention to the motor
cycles and bicycles which need regu-

cases a good deal more than the auto
mobiles. Enforce the regulations IN re-
gard to carrying lights against these
classes of vehicles and convince the
reckless motorcyclists that the speed
laws apply to them quite as much as
they d. to automobiles. A good start
has been made, now let us have a gen

all the violators of the speed laws
