Senate Committee Puts a
Quietus On Bill to Give
Counties Chance to Vote
ASSEMBLY MAY FOLLOW SUIT

County option assumed a new phase
Wednesday when the senate commit
tee on state affairs, by a unanimous
report, presented the county option
bill to the senate with a recommen
dation for indefinite postponement.
1t had been generally understood
the senate could not take action or
the bill until after the assembly had
disposed of the measure. This senate
report means there will be a floor fight
at once over the county question in
the senate. The general opinion seems
to be the committee report will be fol
lowed in the upper house, and with
the report presented today the senate
may dispose of the issue before the
house does.
1t is claimed, however, that the sen,
ate action on the bill will have no
effect on the assembly action on the
question and that the senate may have
two fights over the question should
the assembly by any accident pass the
measure.
1t is said the county option sup,
porters have by no means given up
hope that the senate will, on a floor
vote, turn down the report on county
option and the county option men will
during the next few days, turn their
attention to the senate and make a
great effort to secure the passage of
the bill in that house. Thus a repetf-
ton of the floor fight over the county
option question, of two years ago is
promised in the senate this year.
The opponents of county option
seem confident the senate will sustain
the committee on state affairs report
and reject the BILL In fact, the CD
ponents of county option claim they
will have at least twenty-one votes
against county option on the senate
floor. The county optich PEOPLE, how
ever, challenge this estimate and claim
the vote on the bill in the senate will
be close.

so strongly favors the development of
this disease that few habitual drunk
ards escape it.
Lastly, vicious personal habits, in
GLIDING the use Of tobacco by growing
boys. These habits rob the body of
strength and needed energy for growth,
and prepare it for the development of
tuberculosis. Disease is mostly the fine
we pay for living improper lives and
neglecting the laws of health.
TO health boards, either national or
local, must be largely entrusted the pri-
mary protection of the people against
the danger from tuberculosis cattle.
PROFESSIONALLY, one of the urgent du-
ties Immediately before us in all parts
of the land where tuberculosis prevails
is the establishment of special hospit-
ais in which this disease can be treated
and its victims cured. For the present
the wisest and most humane course
seems to be to attempt to secure the
desired ends by instruction and counsel
and help than by direct and summary
procedures.
A disease now faces the people of
the universe, which demands great at
tention and instructions in order that a
powerful, threatening calamity may be
averted. If the few simple instructions
given above are observed, this "Great
White Plague" will become thing of
the past in the history Of mankind.

FIX PRICE OF OFFICE
Assembly Committee Decides
AS to Amount That May be
Spent by Candidates
SENAToRsHIP WORTH $500

After several weeks of investigation,
the assembly committee on elections is
ready to introduce in a day or two,
and for the second time, its substitute
for the various corrupt practices bills
which have been offered at this session
and the measure probably will go on
the calendar the latter part of this
week. The bill as drafted represents
not only the combined efforts of the
;elections committee but the suggestions
of leading members of both houses,
several state officers, and the recon-
mendations of students of the subject
all over the United States.
The distinguishing feature Of the
bill is the clause disqualifying the can
didate who violates the act from hold
ing office. It is made mandatory upon
the g fling officer" to refuse to issue
certificate of election in case pro per
complaint is made, until such complaint
has been reviewed in court. This sort
of penalty the committee considers the
strongest kind of safeguard against
frauds and undue expenditures in cam
paigns
The committee has retained the pam
phlet feature of the Clark bill which
requires the secretary of state to issue
campaign book containing brief
statements from each candidate, Civ
ing his reasons for seeking election.
Candidates for United States senator,
congress or state Offices are required
to pay 800 per page for space used in
this book and those seeking legislative
Offices $25. A copy of the book is to be
sent to each person whose name is on
the poll lists of the preceding general
election. Extra copies are to be paid
for by candidates. The pamphlet shall
be shown previously to the opposing
candidates, who shall have the right of
brief rebuttal in their own statements
The limitations placed upon expendi-
lures are as follows:
For United States senator, $500;
congressman, $1,5Oo; governor, $4,000;
other state officers, $4,000; state SEN
ator, $500; members of assembly, 5000;
presidential electors at large $500; dis
trict electors 800; all other offices, one.
third of one years salary.
The purposes for which a candidate
may expend money or, for which mon
ey may be spent in his behalf, are lin.
tied to postage, printing, hall rent
speakers fees and payments to a per
sonal or party committee for expenses
of like character. Weekly statements
of expenses are required to be fled
with respective filing officers such as
city clerks, registers of deed and the
secretary of state, and these statements
as to new items must be elaborately
itemized. Paid matter in a newspaper
regarding any candidate for Office must
be conspicuously labeled Advertise
ment. y There is even strong sentiment
to prohibit the use of newspaper adj
vertising altogether.

Illegal fishing, in this county al
least, may be classed as an extra haz
ardous occupation. We should be slow
to believe that there were more viola
tors of the fish and game laws in Ken
osha county than in other parts of the
state so s-e forced to the conclusion
that the reason that this county turns
in so much more money in the shape OF
fines than the average county is be
cause the wardens here are more vigil
ant and active.

GIVE ANNUAL DANCE.
knights of Columbus Entertain Great
Crowd at Germania Hall.


One of the most successful social
events of the season was the annual
dance given by the Kenosha council
of the Knights of Columbus at Ger
mania hall on Wednesday. In honor
of the event the hall was beautifully
decorated in the colors of the order
while the walls were hid with flags
and bunting. More than six hundred
people including many guests from
Racine and other cities were in at
tendance. The music was furnished
by the Becker orchestra and dancing
continued until early morning. Din
ner was served in the refreshment
room at the hall, the decorations in
the dining room being also very ella
borate. From all standpoints the
dance was one of the most successful
ever given in the city and the com
mittee is deserving of high praise for
it's success.

SETS NEW RECORD.
County Treasurer Wallig has Receipts
of More Than S13S,oOO in One Day.

County Treasurer Charles P. WalEg
broke all records for the office today
when the receipts were in excess of
$4,000. This fact was due to the
payment of the inheritance taxes on
the estates of the late Thomas B. JEFF
fiery and the late q. G.. Simmons. The
total amount paid by these two estates
was nearly the entire amount receiv-
ed. The Simmons estate paid tax
of little over $4,000 while that paid
by the Jeffery estate was a little over
$4,000. The money did not remain
in the keeping of the county, but for
few hours as later in the day the
treasurer sent to the state treasurer
at Madison drafts for $123,000 being
the part due to the state from the
settlement with the two estates. Tho
amount received by Kenosha county
was $4,000.

SEE CHANCE FOR TRAFFIC
Steam Railway Company is Urged to
Put on Cars to Meet Demands CT
the People in the Western Part of
Kenosha County.

A well known business man of Keno
sha is seeking to find a solution of
the problem of securing more train
facilities for people residing in the
western part of Kenosha county and
especially for people in the lake re-
gions Of the county. He is proposing
to the Northwestern Railway company
that the company put on gasoline pow
er cars to run between Kenosha and
Harvard. It is claimed that these cars
are being used all over the east and
with great success. If the Northy est
ern would adopt a system of these cars
there would be little naed for the
building Of an electric railway to the
west as these cars would be stopped
at nearly every cross road in the
county and it is certain that such a
service would result in bringing humid
reds of people to Kenosha daily. The
Northwestern could put in such service
at an infinitely lower cost than it could
be put in by an electric railway as
the steam road has all the tracks that
are necessary. With the large systems
Of side tracks leading to every ice
house in the county the Northwestern
could send these smaller cars to the
very doors of the summer resorts.
The gasoline cars are the latest adj
dition to railway rolling stock and they
have been used on several eastern
roads for the past two years. 1t is
claimed that the cost of operating
them is decidedly small in comparison
with the cost Of operating the over
head system Of electric railways OF
in the cost of operating steam trains
The cars cost about the same as an
ordinary electric car and it is claimed
that they are capable of making just
as good time. They are operated en-
tirely with gasoline the same as an
automobile and the cost of operation
is about the same as big automobile
They use the same track as an ordinary
passenger car and can be made in any
size that the traffic demands.
The suggestion is to be laid before
the officials of the Northwestern road
within few days, but it is hardly
probable that the officials will take
kindly to the plan. They have for
years declared that the business of the
western line has not been sufficient
to demand a train in the summer
months in addition to the regular
service, but the Wisconsin Railway
Commission has not agreed with the
company in this and has repeatedly
ordered the train put on. The opera
ton of gasoline cars would be an
innovation in this section of the
country and for this reason it is
thought posi- lie that the Northwestern
might take the matter up and give
the cars a trial. The line to the west
of Kenosha is particularly suitable for
such a test as there is not a great
freight business on the line save be-
tween Kenosha and Balm station. The
frequent side tracks of the company
throughout, the county would make it
an easy matter to take care of the
service.
This new solution of the demand
for more service to the west is causing
considerable discussion among inter.
ested people and developments will be
eagerly awaited by the business men
of the city.

Kenosha wants an electric line to
the western limits of the country and
will do all in its power to get one,
but it has no franchises to give away
on speculative basis. The present
street railway franchise shows some.
thing of~what the right to occupy the
streets of this city is worth and the
promoters who seek that right must be
able to furnish satisfactory references
of their financial ability to carry out
their end of any bargain which may
be made before the city does business
with them.

PIONEER WOMAN DEAD.
Mrs. Agatha Harb of Kenosha Expires
After Long Illness,

ment at the family plat at St. George

SISTER FAILS TO CONTEST IT
Attorney Peter Fisher Represents Mrs.
Walker at the Hearing but He
Makes no Objections to the Action
by the Court.

The will of the late Caroline Durkee,
widow of Charles Durkee, one of the
first United States senators from Wis
consin, and the sole heir to the
mythical Durkee claim against the
United States government, was admit
ted to probate in the county court
this morning and under the provisions
of the will the bulk of the estate will
go to Racine college at Racine. The
only other bequest is one of $4,000
to st. Luke's hospital in Chicago and
the college at Racine is named as the
residuary legatee Of the will 1t had
been expected that there would be
contest against the admission of the
will on the part of Mrs. Angeline
Walker of Buffalo, New York, sister
of the deceased. Mrs. Walker was
represented in court by an attorney,
but he made no objections to the pro-
bate of the will and if there is any
court fight over the estate it will be
in the nature of an appeal from the
decision of the county court admitting
the will to probate. The Northwest
ern Loan and Trust company was
named as executor of the Will.
The famous claim against the gov
eminent which Mrs. Durkee in her life
time had refused to acknowledge, was
not mentioned in any way at the hear
ing. An investigation showed that
three of the witnesses who had signed
the will when it was made in 1887,
were dead and the only one of the
witnesses present in court was Miss
Harriet p. Hurlbut of Chicago. Miss
Hurlbut stated that she had for years
been friend Of Mrs. Durkee and that
she remembered personally the signing
of the will which took place in the
office Of former Judge James r. Doc
little, now deceased, in Chicago. Miss
Hurlbut declared that she felt certain
that at the time the will was signed
that Mrs. Durkee was in sound mental
condition. She stated that she had talked
with Mrs Durkee afterward in regard
to the will and that she had declared
herself satisfied with its provisions.
She stated that Mrs. Durkee had init
mated that Mrs. Walker had not
shown any special friendship toward
her during her life.
Repeated attempts were made to
show that Mrs. Durkee was not sane
at the time the viii was signed and it
was shown that she had been sent to
state institutions both before and af-
ter the making Of the will. Miss Hurl-
but stated that she had known of this
fact, but that she felt convinced that
at the time of the signing of the will
Mrs. Durkee had been perfectly sane
and that she remembered that men,
bers of the party present at the time
Of the signing of the will had COM
mented on the condition Of the testa-
tor.
Under the provisions of the will
James R. Doolittle and n. K. Fair
bank, both of Chicago, and both long
since dead, were named as executors
of the will and on the petition of the
trustees Of Racine college, the North
western Loan and Trust company of
Kenosha, was named as executor of
the will.
Attorney Fisher who represented
Mrs. Walker at the hearing declared
that he was not certain what would
be done by the sister of Mrs. Durkee
in the future.
