SHORTAGE OF MILK.
Dairymen Claim Supply is Smaller Than
Believed by Average Person.

From all sections of Kenosha county
comes the complaint: There is Q. great
shortage in the supply of milk.
This condition is owing to the past
ures being practically burned up by
the recent hot weather and lack of
rain. Dairymen positively state that
the supply is shorter than given out,
in fact has fallen off more than one
half in the usual shipments to Chicago
and other markets. Buyers are scour-
ing the country districts and claim that
in Chicago scores of families are suf-
fering on account Of dealers being I'M
able to anywhere near furnish the
daily demand.
Officers of Kenosha milk companies
admit that they are having a hard time
getting supply sufficient to take care
of their customers and also the in
creased demand for ice cream.
Dairymen are not ready to state
whether there will be an increase in
the price of milk and cream, but the
chances are that an advance will soon
be made, necessary on account of the
large amount of feed necessary for the
cattle

Andrew Coder Former Keno
sha Man, Dies From Injur-
les Received Wednesday
MET DEATH ON HIS BIRTHDAY

Andrew Coder, aged 81 years and
formerly one of the best known rail
way men Of Kenosha, died in hos
pital in Milwaukee on Wednesday
night as a result of injuries received
Wednesday afternoon when he was
thrown under the wheels of an engine
while working in the yards of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railway
company in Milwaukee. The remains
were brought to Kenosha on the 2:36
train on Saturday afternoon and laid
at rest in the family plat at the Ke-
nosha City cemtery. It is just little
less than two years ago since Jay
Coder, a brother of the dead man, met
a similar fate in the same yards in
Milwaukee.
Mr.. Cooler was working as a switch
man for the company and was riding
on the footboard of an engine at the
time he met his fatal injuries. The
footboard on the engine was loose and
this fact was not known to Coder. He
jumped on the board and was riding in
the yards when the board struck a
plank in crossing and Coder was
thrown right in front of the engine.
The engine was running slowly at the
time and the wheels did not pass over
the mans body but he was so badly
mangled chat death resulted from the
shock. The injured man was removed
to a hospital near the scene of the
accident and died two hours later with
out regalning consciousness.
Andrew Coder resided in Kenosha
for many years and was widely known
among Kenosha people. He was son
Of the late A. J. Coder and was born
at Elkhart Ind. He came with his
parents to Kenosha when a boy and
resided here until he went to Milwau-
kee to work for the Chicago and St.
Paul Railway company. He,was thirty
four years old on the day he met the
fatal accident, He is survived by a
widow who was formerly Miss Laura
Moore of Kenosha, and one son.
Jay TT. Coder, the brother of Andrew
Cooler, and another member of the
family Of railway men met death in
the Milwaukee yards on Aug. 20, 1909.

MET AWFUL INJURY
Arthur Petersen Has Hand
and Arm Mangledin Trans
mission of Automobile
ACCIDENT UNAVOIDABLE ONE

Arthur Petersen, seven year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Petersen of Bond
street, met with very serious acct
dent on Thursday afternoon when he
got his hand and arm caught in the
transmission of an automobile and the
hand was terribly mangled, the injury
being so serious that it is feared that
the hand and arm will be deformed.
Young Peterson was playing about his
home and a neighbor by the name of
Meyer was cleaning and repairing an
automobile a short distance from the
Petersen home. The boy was running
about the automobile and Meyer had
warned the little boy to keep away
from the car. Meyer had started the
car and was at work under the front
end of it when young Petersen ran up
to the automobile. He jumped on the
step of the automobile and lost his
footing and plunged into the open hold
OF the automobile. His right hand and
arm went directly into the transmission
and the stopping of the car called the
attention of Meyer who went to the
rescue of the boy. The arm was cut
just as if it had been placed in meat
chopper. The boy was carried to his
home and DR.. G. III. Gephart called to
attend him. An examination showed
that the arm had been terribly mangled
and several Of the smaller bones in the
hand had been pulled out and broken
The physician believes that he will be
able to save the arm and hand of the
boy, but it is certain that he will be
crippled for life as a result of the
accident. The wounds on the hand
and arm are of such nature that it is
feared that blood poisoning may set
in and this is now the gravest danger
in the case.

PHILLIP TO SUCCEED BoRUP.
Well known Milwaukee Man Named tc
Lead State Humane Society.

Theodore Borup, proprietor of the
Eichelman Hotel, formally gave up his
duties as president of the Wisconsin
Humane society this afternoon when
the directors Of the organization met
in Milwaukee. Mr.. Borup has been at
the head of the organization for two
years, but his removal to Kenosha
made it impossible to keep in touch
with the work of the central Offices
in Milwaukee. To succeed Mr.. Borup
the directors have elected Emanuel l..
Phillip of Milwaukee, one of the best
known men in the state. Mr.. Phillip
has taken an interest in the work of
the humane association for several
years and has been one Of the largest
contributors TO the funds for the adj
vancement Of the work. Mr.. Borup will
probably continue as a member of the
board Of directors of the state insti-
tuition and his presence in Kenosha is
counted on to aid materially in i'm
proving the work done by the Kenosha
branch Of the state organization.

PoKING FUN AT PAULINE.
Presidents Cow to Have Swedish Mas
sage and Music to Soothe Her.

Not content with life of ease and
inaction quietly munching grass on the
broad lawns back Of the White House,
Pauline Wayne II, officially designated
as the milk producer for the president
and his family and formerly pride of
the Stephenson herd in this county, has
just been housed in brand new stable
fitted up with every modern convent
ence. Here is the way Washington
correspondent tells of the life of the
Kenosha county COW:
The stable itself is situated at a
convenient distance from the White
House grounds, where Pauline is let
to pasture, so that she will not get
unduly tired traversing the distance
twice day. In addition to being con-
structed according to the most modern
plans, Pauline IS abode is fitted up with
conveniences which are usually found
only in dwellings of human beings.
The stable is built of brick and steel.
The floors are concrete and the walls
cement, SO arranged that the entire
structure can be Hooded with water
and thus kept absolutely clean. There
are patent automatic filling feed and
watering basins, electric lights and a
shower bath. And the shower bath is
expressly made for Pauline.
Every evening during the hot wealth
er Pauline will be brought home, rub
bed down and massaged by special
Swedish attendant who will see that
the bovine lady does not get too feshy
from want Of exercise. Following this
she will be bedded in sterilized straw
and famed to sleep by an electric fan.
1t is thought that if she gets restless
during the summer that an appropria-
ton will be made for graphophone to
soothe her and aid her in falling asleep.

The compulsory accident insurance
system of Germany embraces ten mill
lion workmen. A recent elaborate re-
port by the Imperial Insurance Office
shows that, in a year, almost one work
man out of every hundred meets an

extending for thirteen weeks or longer.
Practically half the workmen so dis.
abled were still suffering some degree
Of disability at the end of five years
after the accident.
Taking all cases of death or serious
disability-that is, disability extending
over thirteen weeks-six per cent of
the accidents were due to the fault of
a fellow workman, thirteen per cent
were due to the fault Of the employer.
thirty-eight per cent were due to the
general hazard of the industry and
forty-one per cent to the fault of the
person injured, leaving two per cent
unassigned; but it is found that work
men who have been employed in an in
dustry or in an establishment but a
short time are more liable to injury
than those who have been employed a
longer time, More than one-ouartor
of all the persons injured had been en-
ployed less than three months in the

8 WIRES COMPLETELY OUT
Men Gut the Wire Strand by Strand
and in This Manner Make it Posi-
ole for Them to Get Away With
junk Before Discovered

General Manager w. J. Schumacher
and Construction Chief Frank Schilling
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Tele-
graph company were here from Chi
cago on Thursday investigating the
theft of hundreds of feet Of copper
wire which was removed from the
poles of the company just north of
Kenosha during the past few days.
The theft is one of the most unusual
ever reported to the officials in this
section of the state.
The thieves are alleged to have
climbed the poles near Pike Creek
north Of Kenosha and they cut away
ten strands of the copper wire for a
distance of 1900 feet. The telegraph
line is used as a part of the system
OF the Postal Telegraph company be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee. It is
evident that the thieves were expert
wire men and that they carefully avoid
ed complete crippling Of the service
as this would have resulted in the
crime being discovered at once. The
men cut away the wire but left sew
eral wires working between Chicago
and Milwaukee and this gave the men
in the central Office the idea that trou-
BILE on several of the lines was due to
some minor accident.
1t was found on Wednesday that
three wires were out at Pike Creek
and this caused the investigation
which revealed the theft of the wire.
While the booty secured was not of
any great value the thieves worked
their scheme so cleverly that the Of
ficials of the telegraph company are
very anxious to land them. Taking
the wire little by little il this manner
the company's agents declare that the
thefts may have been going on for sew
eral weeks and the trouble on the lines
was SO slight that it was not deemed
necessary to have the linesmen 90 out
and make an examination Of the lines.
The same plan could be worked with
any telegraph line in the country and
with careful work it is declared that
the thieves could get away with thous-
ands Of dollars worth of the copper
wire before being discovered.
1t is thought that some of the wire
taken in this county was taken at
least three weeks ago for at that time
the first trouble was discovered on the
line. Men connected with the Offices
of the Postal Telegraph company in
Kenosha do not think that the wire
was stolen by local men, but they are
inclined to believe that it was taken
by men who make a practice Of doing
this kind of work about the country.
Some time ago all the companies with
lines between Chicago and Milwaukee
suffered heavy losses as result of
the working of gang of wire thieves
but with several of them in the peni-
tentiary it was thought that the gang
had been broken up. The thefts at
Pike Creek are the first to be reported
to the companies in some time. No
report of the thefts was made to the
local police officials, but it is under
stood that the detectives of the com
pany will work on the case from
Kenosha.

resided in this city. As yet the Of

TowNE QUITS STATE PRISON.
Warden Leaves State Institution as
Board of Control Starts Investigation.

Henry Towne who for the past ten
years has been warden Of the state
prison at Waupun and who is widely
known among officials of Kenosha
county, resigned his position on We'd
nesday afternoon. The resignation
came just as the state board of CON
troll was starting an investigation of
the management of the prison. The
resignation was accepted and the Rev.
Daniel Woodwork, who is a member
of the state board, was placed in
charge Of the prison pending the cleo
tion of new warden. Alleged irreg-
ularities in regard to the management
of the prison are being investigated
by the state board today. Warden
Towne was regarded as a valuable man
for the state and his resignation under
the circumstances has caused something

The people in the vicinity OF the
present location of the Standard OIL
plant have won their fight against the
company and the storat tanks and
offices are to be moved outside of the
present limits of the city. Work on
the new plant Of the company is to
be started at once and the contractors
have been instructed that the new
buildings must be ready for occupancy
within sixty days. With the under
standing that the negotiations for a
change of location were going on, the
council granted the company sixty
days in which to comply with the ordi-
nances governing the storage of oils In
the city and the company will probably
have no difficulty in securing any rea-
sonable further extensions while the
new buildings are being rushed to com
pletion. The property owners in the
neighborhood of the present plant
whose fight against the company was
responsible for the passage of the or
dinance which has forced the present
action of the compan, will be too well
satisfied with the sure knowledge that
they have gotten rid Of what they
considered a great detriment to their
property to make any serious difficulties
about given the Standard sufficient
time to complete its new buildings.
There is one thing in connection with
the proposed move which shows very
clearly the faith Of the officials of
the company in the future Of the city.
The architects and engineers drawing
the plans for the new plant have been
instructed to make them conform in
every way to the new ordinance show
ing that it is the belief of the officials
that even its new plant will soon be
surrounded by the rapidly growing city
and that they are anxious to have no
further troubles when the new plant
is taken into the city, as in their
judgment as shown by their action in
conforming to the ordinance it soon
will be.
