OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO AID
Plan Includes the Furnishing of Facts
in Regard to Every Individual in
the City Receiving Aid from Any
Source.

The Kenosha Associated Charities
working in conjunction with the city
poormaster and the officials of score
OF church societies in the city is now
at work on what promises to be the
most unique census of the city ever
made. 1t is census of dependents
and when it is completed it is ex-
'pected that the card catalogue will show
the exact condition surrounding every
man, woman and child in the city now
receiving aid or support either from
the city or from any of the many or
CARNATIONS engaged in relief work.
The taking of the census is in charge
OF Miss Louise Cottrell, the secretary
OF the associated charities and the
work is being done in a thorough man
ner. Complete lists have been secured
OF all the poor of the city and the
cards relating to every member Of the
family are filled out only after a per
sonal investigation of the cases and
after the reports made by the people
themselves have been compared with
statements made by the people who
have been directly connected with the
aid that has been given to these fami-
lies in the past. The census has al
ready proved it's value as cases have
been found where families were re-
ceivlng aid from the city and from
any number of charity organizations.
The card index Of these cases that is
being made is to be permanent insti-
tuition in the city. Every movement
on the part of the dependent will be
noted so that at the end of the year
the associted charities and others in
terested will be able to tell lust what
has been done for the family or the
individual during the year and Just
how far the element Of self support
has been developed. The cards will
show just how many children in fami-
lies of dependents are working and
just how much these children are con-
tributing to the support of the family.
1t will show the facts nj regard to the
heads of the family and show whether
or not they are entitled to aid from
the city or from charitably inclined
people. There are more than 500 peo-
pie in Kenosha at the present time
receiving aid in various ways and it
is the plan of the various associations
to reduce the number by making at
least a part of these people self sus-
tanning. This will of course be no easy
matter, but with the actual facts be-
fore them officials of the various or
CARNATIONS will be better able to out
line the course necessary to be taken
in order to release these people from
the list Of dependents and place them
under the caption of Independents. -

DEFENDS MANY SUITS.
Makes Provision to Protect
Patents After His Death.


1t required 1876 separate and distinct
requests in the will of the late Walter
E. Duryea, Boston, to dispose of an
estate valued at upward of $2,500,000
and to trust company of Brooklyn,
N. Y, falls the task of distributing
the bulk of the property and the con-
duct of number of large business
enterprises of which Mr.. Duryea was
the head.
An interesting incident of the will
lies in the fact that at the time of
his death Mr.. Duryea was involved in
something like thirty law suits in the
protection of certain patents which he
owned and over six pages of closely
typewriter matter were devoted to in
structions to the trust company for the
future conduct of these cases which
will cover number of years.
In explaining his choice of executor
Mr.. Duryea said that he had for years
watched the development and preser-
walton of estates under the manage
ment of friends, or individuals, and
that after many years Of such observa-
ton, he had come to the conclusion
that the trust company with it's tho
rough and competent organization was
the ideal executor. djySw10

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE,
Albert Johnson Charged With Making
Unprovoked Assault on G.. w. Nolan.


Unprovoked Assault on G. w. Nolan.
Albert johnson, a well known man
of the west side Of the city was
brought into the municipal court this
morning charged with assault with in
tent to do great bodily harm. The
hearing was adjourned until July Is
and the defendant gave bonds in the
sum of 5000 to insure his appearance
at that time. The complaint against
Johnson was made by George W. Nolan
a Chicago man and he claimed that the
assault was an unprovoked one. Of
course there are two sides to the story
and johnson claims that he struck No
Ian only in self defense. Nolan had
a decidedly bad looking head when he
came into court this morning and
Johnson also has few bruises which
would indicate that something had hit
him. From the appearance of the two
men, however. it seems certain that
Nolan got the worst of the battle.

In their anxiety to keep certain
brands of beer out of territory which
they regard as their own exclusively
and to be exploited only for their per-
sonal profit some of the beer agents
have become involved in a controversy
which may be made to rebound to the
profit of the city. The old fight over
the right of liquor dealer to do a
wholesale and retail liquor business un-
der a single license is on again and
before it is over this time the right of
the city to collect a license for every
wholesale liquor business in the city
whether it is run in connection with a
saloon or not should be tested in some
way. If the city is entitled under the
law to collect license on a wholesale
business, from three to four thousand
dollars a year is being lost to the city
treasury by the failure to collect and
that is a good deal of money to allow
to slip away without any effort being
made to get it. The city goes after
other fees hard that do not begin to
bring In anywhere near so much money
and the taxpayers of the city and in
cidentally this includes many of the
saloon men themselves would undoubt
eddy approve of any effort which can
be made to collect these Wholesale IL
quor license fees even to the extent
OF carrying suit through the courts to
establish the right of the city to col
lect them. If any corporation or firm
had chance to insure itself a per
manent addition to it's income of from
three to five thousand dollars a year no
time wouldSbe lost in going after it
and no effort spared to collect the
money and we can see no reason why
the city should let this opportunity to
add to its revenue slip by year after
year 1t is understood that eminent
legal authorities have rendered an
opinion that both wholesale and re-.
tail business can be run on one license,
but an opinion is only an opinion until
it is confirmed by the courts and doubt
less just as eminent attorneys can be
found to render an opinion that the
city has perfect right to collect a
separate license for each business both
opinions possibly being eolored little
to meet the wishes of those paying the
retaining fees of said eminent authori-
ties. The city had better get an
opinion of its own somewhere and go
after that license money. The city

THURSDAY, JULY IS, 1911.

The street assessment committee is
wise in taking no action in regard to
the paving of Lake avenue on which
any one can hang a contest over the
letting of the contract. The property
owners through no fault Of their own
have had troubles enough over the
paving of their street to make them
wish they had never started in to put
in improvements and no chances on an
other mix up should be taken.

The announcement that the Wiscon-
sin Woman's Suffrage association will
conduct a safe and sane campaign in
this state with no monkey shines to at
tract attention and excite ridicule is
welcome. This movement has suffered
much from the fixed notion in the pub
lie mind that it is something to be
laughed at, due to the antics of some
of the self appointed leaders and it is
to be hoped that the Wisconsin asso-
citation will be able to demonstrate
that movement can be insistent and
Earnest without being undignifed.

Attention is called to the synopsis Of
the new child labor law written by
Judge Clifford E. Randall of the muni-
eipal court which will be found in an
other column of this issue Of the paper
Every employer of child labor and all
parents and guardians of children who
work either during the vacation or at
all times of the year should study the
law carefully. The changes in the law
are so numerous and so far reaching
and the detail work required in connec,
tion with the issue of all permits so
extensive that there is probably no
one In che city either as parent and
guardian or as employer interested in
the issue of any permit who is not at
present liable to conviction under the
provisions of this law and at thai Ke-
nosha employers Of child labor have
made as earnest an effort to comply
with the laws as those of any city in
the state and the conditions found here
by the state factory inspectors have
been very satisfactory.
