The city has nothing to fear from
the annual visit of the inspectors of
the National Board Of Fire Under
writer's for with the new ordinance
controlling the storage of oils in force
and the constant inspection maintained
by the local department conditions in
the city are better than they have been
in years and it is expected that the
city will be given the usual high rat
ing in the reports. 1t is supposed that
the report of the inspectors has some
influence on the premium rates charg-
ed in city, but it would be difficult
matter for any one TO point out just
where this influence comes in for Ke-
nosha. This city maintains a more
efficient FIRE department. with better
fire fighting facilities all around than
most cities Of its class and yet the
premium rates on all classes of insur-
ance are as high as they are in other
cities which are known to be unable
to pass as good an inspection as Ke-
nosha.

OPERATING FORCE INCREASED.
Kenosha Home Telephone Company to
Put on New Operators.

The Kenosha Home Telephone COM
pany has been forced to make a new
schedule for the working of its opera
tors in order to comply with the new
law in regard to tlb working hours
of girls and women in Wisconsin and
the new schedule has made it possible
for the company to comply strictly with
the law in that none of the operators
will be employed for greater time
than IS hours weekly. To do this it
has been necessary to add two operators
to the force and to make complete
arrangement of hours worked by the
different operators. Experienced tele-
phone operators are decidedly hard to
secure, but Manager Dye has managed
to get girls enough TO take care of the
boards and for the most part the opera
tors are skilled in the work The new
girls put on are given careful instruc-
ton in the work and it is hoped that
within a few weeks Kerosha will have
as near perfect service as can be found
in any city in the state The annual
budget of the company will be increas-
ed by about $1,000 in order to meet
the demands of the new law.

Champions of the Lake Shore
League to Go Into Wiscon-
sin-1llinois League
MUST RE-ARRANGE SCHEDULE

The management of the Sheboygan
Lake Shore Baseball team may secede
from the league before the end of the
present week as negotiations are now
under way for the sale Of the franchise
held by Fond du Lac in the Wisconsin
Illinois league to Sheboygan and go on
the larger circuit. Sheboygan is now
at the head of the Lake Shore League
and the fans Of that city have been
supporting the team with enthusiasm.
1t has been the best point on the cir
cult from financial standpoint and
the loss of Sheboygan will be hard
blow to the younger league. It is not
at all improbable that the desertion of
Sheboygan will result in breaking
up of the league and in the teams
playing independent ball during the
remainder of the season. The Sheboy-
gan team has played in Kenosha but
once this season. Kenosha has not been
financial bonanza for the shore league
but it is declared that the Kenosha
team is just about keeping pace with
the other teams in the league outside
of Sheboyngan. The managers of the
Sheboygan team hope TO be in the state
league before SUNDAY and this will re-
quire re-arrangement of the shore
league schedule if the. season is to be
played out. It is possible tkat the
Fond du Lac fans will take the place
left vacant by Sheboygan but Fond du
Lac will have to organize new team
as the team now representing that city
will be sold to Sheboygan as a part of
the consideration of the franchise deal.
It is certain that the Sheboygan team
will be one of the strongest in the
state league as the team has defeated
many of the teams in the state league
during the present season. It is prob
able that meeting of the Lake Shore
managers will be called for Sunday at
which time the problem of filing the
place left vacant by Sheboygan will be
taken up and if no team can be secured
it is possible that the schedule viii be
abridged to meet the conditions.

Wisconsin Woman Sought to
Direct Woman's Depart
ment at the State Fair
CAN MAKE HER OWN PROGRAM

Who is the woman that will direct
the program for Woman s Day during
the state fair and where is she to be
found?
This perplexing question, a special
committee of the Wisconsin State Board
of Agriculture, consisting of Charles
H. Everett, Wisconsin Agriculturist,
Racine, ard William MacLaren of Gin
bel Brothers, Milwaukee, are endeavor-
ing to solve. Were either of the gen.
tlemen called upon to select woman
to take charge of any department. in
their respective lines of business, there
would be no hesitation. The selection
would be made and a wise and COM
petent one, too, it would be.
But-there it is-the stumbling
block, but.
Rather than assume such response
bility, the committee has issued a call
to the women of the state to select
their leader. The committee wants a
woman dear to the hearts of Wiscon-
sin wives, mothers, sisters and daugh-
tiers, woman who is an executive and
an organizer, a woman without a hob
by other than woman's calling. Such
a woman is wanted and the question is,
will this county produce here
She may be club woman, a frater-
nal society woman, a suffragist, fac
tory, Office or store worker, a woman
of letters and science, leader of music
or literary circles, home woman or
farmers wife.
All that will be required of her will
be that she assume charge Of Woman s
Day and cooperate with the State
Board Of Agriculture in forming pro-
gram of events that will cover every
phase of woman IS work and woman S
endeavor. She will be required to as
sist In selecting her assistants to con-
duct each department and in carrying
out the program. She will have the
aid of corps of willing workers and
the women of this county are request
ed to mail suggestions to the Woman s
Day Committee of the State Fair,
Room II, Sentinel Bldg, Milwaukee.
Suggestions of names should be sent in
Immediately, as the list closes August
10, when selection will be made and
a woman leader for woman's day an
nounced.

Tennis Players Making Plans for an All
Summer Tournament This Year.


Tennis players in Kenosha are lay
ing plans for tennis tournament to
be started within the next few days
which is to continue during the better
part of the summer and it is expected
that the tournament will bring re-
vival of interest in the sport. Lead.
ing players of the city have held a

the plans for the tournament have been
discussed and within few days full an
nouncement of the play will be made.

All Of the "city employees" are now
working under the Workmen's Com
pensation act, but "officers'' of cities
and the state are not subject to the
act and the city authorities are some
what at loss to know where the line
between officers and employees is to be
drawn, but they are willing to wait to
cross that bridge until they come to it.
Unless the city has hard luck there is
no likelihood that it will be necessary
to pass on this question for a long
time and it is probable that the dis
tinction between officers and employees
will be clearly defined by the deci-
sions of the courts or the rulings of
the industrial accident board long be-
fore it is brought up here by the neces-
sity of fixing the compensation for an
accident. The failure of the act to de-
fine which of the city servants are to
be designated as officials and which as
employees while the law is made com
pulsory as to employees" may well
lead to complications and as the chair.

G. III. Crownhart, admitted in his speech
on the law at Wausau on Tuesday
"who are officers and WHO are en-
ployees in many cases will be close

ROT AFTER BIKE RIDERS.
Police Get Orders to Arrest Every Man
Found Riding on a Sidewalk.

The police Of the city have received
orders to go after the riders OF bicycles
using the sidewalks and every man
riding on sidewalk is to be arrested.
For Che past three weeks the police
have been busy looking after bicycle
riders who failed to have proper lights
on their machines and now that there
is a lull in these arrests the officers
are to get after sidewalk riders. Com
plants have been received in great
numbers and the officers will be sent
to different parts of the city with or
ders to enforce the law without fear
or favor. There arc no permits for
riding on the sidewalks and every man
who rides wheel on the walk is liable
to arrest. This will be the last warn
ing given by the police department.

The machinery for the enforcement
of the workmen's compensation act is
being put in order as rapidly as posi-
BILE and blanks for reports of accidents
have been received by all Of the en-
ployers of labor in the city and sup
ply sent to the county clerk for the
use of those who may have been over
looked by the board. The data reouir-
ed by these reports covers a wide
range and should give the board enough
information on which to make lust
award and as the information contain
ed in them is to be checked up in every
particular by an agent of the board
before any action is taken in any case
it behooves the employer making them
to get them as nearly accurate as pos
sible Great things are expected of the
law, but its success or failure depends
in a large measure on the spirit in
which both employer and employee re-
gard the efforts OF the industrial board
to arrive at equitable adjustments be-
tween them in all cases brought be-
lore it, If the board is regarded by
both parties in interest as mutual
friend anxious only to be fair to both
sides the process of arriving at settle
ments satisfactory to both sides is half
over before it is begun and the work
Of the board is bound to result in great
and testing benefits to both employer
sn1e employee.

A formal invitation has been ex-
tended to the Wisconsin League of
Municipalities to hold it's next conven-
ton in this city and if the delegates
from Kenosha who present it are sue
cessful this city will have the honor
of entertaining the more progressive
representatives Of most of the cities
of the state next year. If this city
succeeds in securing the convention
nothing that will add to the comfort
or entertainment of the visitors will
be left undone.

The announcement that the state
board Of agriculture is at loss for
some woman to have charge of the pro
gram for the woman's day at the state
fair comes as something of shock.
The board has evidently failed to adj
vertise for what it wants. If it had
the difficulty the committee would now
be having would be in making a Sc
lection between numerous applicants
for the position all we'll qualified and
all backed by some kind of a pull.

TO SEND REPORT TO COUNCIL
New Engine House in Northwest Part
of the City, More Men in the Fire
Department and Twenty-Five Hyd-
rants Among Suggestions,

Better FIRE protection for Kenosha is
to be demanded as a result of the visit
of Edwin E. Townsend of Chicago and
State Railroad Commissioner S. r
Hatch of Madison to the city on Thurs
day. Mr.. Townsend is an inspector fol-
the stock insurance companies and the
state commission is keeping in touch
with conditions throughout the state
through his aid. At the end of a
strenuous day of inspection Commits
sloner Hatch announced shat in the
next few days he would send a com
munication to the common council of
the city in which he will outline sug-
gestlons of changes necessary to make
the Kenosha fire department complete
These suggestions will be based on the
investigation made on Thursday and
they will include many changes in the
department..
The two inspectors tried the pressure
at nearly every fire hydrant in the
city and these tests were decidedly sat
isfactory. In the down town districts
a pressure of more than a hundred
pounds was found and on the outskirts
of the city the lowest pressure regis
tered by the gauge was seventy pounds.
This was regarded as ample pressure
for the fighting Of any fires in the city.
The inspectors saw great need for
new engine house in the city and
this will be the main suggestion made
to the council. The territory covered
by the present engine house is entire
ly too large, in the opinion of the in
spectors and fourth engine house is
needed. It is probable that they will
suggest that this be placed somewhere
in the northwest portion of the city.
The run from the Central engine house
to the limits of the Rice Park district
IS entirely too long to make it possible
to make this run with safety and in
the time that it should be made. The
inspectors recommended that twenty
five new fire hydrants be installed in
the city and to this end petition was
sent to the board of water commission
ers on Thursday night. The board con-
sented to the installation of sixteen
new hydrants at this time and the
other nine hydrants will be ordered
later. The inspectors insisted that
there should be more men on the fire
department. 1t was suggested that two
more men be secured for the hook and
ladder truck and that one man be plac-
ed at each of the fire engine houses
in the city. The city council has al
ready made provision for two more men
to be added to the department. and it is
probable that at the time of the making
up of the next city budget that some
provision will be made to secure other
men to meet the demands of the in
spectors.
The inspectors went over the city
carefully and for the most part they
found the city in good condition rom
the standpoint of the insurance nan.
They, however, recommended a general
cleaning up of alleys in the business
district and better supervisian of tha
burning of refuse in those parts of the
city.

lice are to attend to the bicycle riders

ORDER EXTENSION OF MAINS
Circuses Which visit Kenosha il, the
Future Will be Charged S15 Daily
for the Use of the City Water
Coal Bids not Opened.

| The board of water commissioners in
regular meeting at the Office IF the
city engineer on Monday night in
structei the superintendent of the de-
partment to take immediate steps to
prevent the use of water for sprinkling
by people who are using water on the
flat rate. It is claimed that hundreds
OF thousands Of gallons of water are
used Illegally daily by these people and
IN order to stop this unwarranted use
OF the water the superintendent was
directed to put men to work to keep,
tab on the sprinkling and to shut off
the water of all fiat rate patrons who
sprinkle at any hours save those pre-
scribed in the rules OF the board. These
rules provide that patrons purchasing
water on the fiat rate may sprinkle be-
tween the hours of and a. m. and
9 and 2. m. Few people are observ-
ing these rules and the only recourse
that the water company has is to shut
off the water and force all of them to
pay the added fee of dollar to secure
the turning on of the water again. 1t
is said that the rule is being violated
in all parts of the city and it is ex-
pected that water will be shut off in
hundreds of homes as result of the or
der of the board. The demand upon the
water plant during the summer season
is so large that the sprinkling out Of
hours has caused the plant to be heavi-
ly taxed to meet the demands of the
people Of the city.
The commissioners at the suggestion
Of the chief Of the fire department. de-
cided to provide for an immediate ex-
tension of the fire hydrants of the city
and to this end sixteen new hydrants
were ordered put in at various points
in the outlying districts of the city.
These MIGRANTS will be put in as rapid
ly as possible and it is expected that
all Of them will be ready for use by
the end Of the year. The board decided
Oh extensions of the mains along West
Prairie avenue and Salem avenue in
order to make it possible to take into
the service district large amount of
the new territory recently annexed to
the city.
The board took up the question of
water to be used for travelling shows
visiting the city. It was stated that
in the past free water had been furn-
ished to these shows in return for Office
courtesies, but the board decided that
in the future that tickets would not
pass as legal tender in the water Office
and fat rate Of $15 was fixed for
water for all such travelling shows.
The board did not open bids for the
$500 tons of coal needed for the plant
for the coming year. But two bids
were presented, both of them coming
from local parties. One outside com
pany was present with a bid, but it
arrived ten minutes later than the
hour set in the advertisement and the
board decided to not open any of the
bids. It is probable that the new adj
vertisement will be published SO as to
give the coal men in other cities
chance to bid against the Kenosha men
for the coal supply.
After the usual amount of routine
business the board adjourned.
