TALK OF CARNIVAL
Local Carnival Co. Seek to
Put on Carnival in Keno
sha on Fourth Of July
TO START WITH CELEBRATION

The city of Kenosha is threatened
with q fourth of July celebration as to-
day the managers of the Scharding
Brothers Carnival company, Kenosha
concern began a quiet movement to
have a week of carnival in Kenosha
beginning with big celebration of the
fourth of July and continuing for
full week. The plan is to be laid be-
fore the Kenosha Industrial associa-
ton, the merchants of the city, and
several Of the fraternal organizations
with view of having one of these
organizations father the plan. Man
ager Scharding this morning declared
that he would bring to Kenosha prac-
at the last street carnival and that
he could assure the officials of the city
val would be clean in every feature
and that it would prove a big draw
ing card for the city during the week.
The Kenosha Motordrome company
has already arranged for automobile
races in Kenosha on Independence Day
and this feature in itself will make
big start toward celebration of the
day.
Kenosha has never been very strong
for the carnival idea, but it is possible
that with carnival under the man
agement of home people that a differ,
ent view will be taken Of the matter.

OPEN NEXT TUESDAY
Opening of Country Club to
Take Place Memorial Day
With Big Golf Match
MANY CHANGES IN LINKS

The Kenosha Country club will open
its annual season next Tuesday and the
committee on sports and games has just
completed the program for the day.
The golf match for the opening day
will be a choice score handicap with
eighteen holes played in the morning
and the same number in the afternoon.
Both lunch and dinner will be served
at the club house and the members will
be required to register for these meals
by Saturday evening. Following the
dinner in the evening the members. of
the club will have the first social party
Of the year. This will be in the nature
of an informal dancing party and Fitz-
gerald of Chicago will furnish the
music.
The committee on sports and games
is now busy getting out the fixtures
for the season at the club and they
will be announced shortly after Mem
orial day.
Since the links were opened for the
preliminary play this year notable
changes have been made in the hazards.
A small army of men mas been at work
digging sand pits, throwing up mounds
and putting in other hazards to guard
the greens and the eighteen courses.
The work will not all be completed by
Memorial day, but it is planned to
have it completed the early part of
June. These hazards which have been
put in will make the course one of the
best in the west and certainly the most
up-to-date course to be found in Wis
consin. The new hazards will I'M
doubtedly make the DOGGY of the course
a little larger, but the experts who are
in charge Of the work Of putting in
the hazards declare that these will
make little difference with tbs score
of any man who plays "perfa,t !" golf.
1t might be added that the membership
of the "perfect golf club" In Kenosha
is decidedly limited.

CLEAN UP CALENDAR
Judge Belden to Hear Cases
on March Calendar at the
June Term of Court
GAAs1RA CASE TO Be TRIED

For the first time in many years the
June term of the circuit court of Ke-
nosha county is to be an important
one as Judge Belden has handed down
an order directing that all cases which
are now on the March term of the
court be taken up and heard by the
court at the June term which opens
on Monday, June 18th.
Tt is even possible that customs will
be broken by the calling Of jury for
this term of the court. This would not
mean the drawing of a new panel, but
the calling of the jurors called for the
March term. The first case set for
hearing at the opening of the term is
that of John Gibson, as administrator
for the estate of the late Harvey Glib
son, against the town of Salem. This
case which has caused so much trou-
BILE for the courts Of the county and
state. If the Gibson case is tried it
must be tried before jury. This is
also true of the case of LaConte
against the city an action for damages
for the death of a man who fell into
an unguarded basement. This case is
also scheduled for trial at the sonling
term
Tie most interesting of the cases for
the court to decide is that in which
Douwe Gaastra is the plaintiff and the
officials of the city of Kenosha the
defendants. This action grew out of
the construction of the city hail.
Gaastra claiming, as tax payer, that
the specifications had not been follow
ed in the building and demanding that
portions Of the work be rejected. The
effect of the case is not apparent as
the building has now been accepted by
the city council and the company build
ing IT has received an order for all
the money due from the city and the
order has been paid. Mr.. Gaastra, it
is understood, seeks vindication of his
course in the matter and for this rea
son will insist on the trial of the case.
It is expected that the General Con-
struction company named with the city
as q defendant in the case will take
sufficient interest to make the tight or,
the case, but should the company drop
it it would be up to the city to con
test the case in court. Not single
new case has been noticed for trial at
the June term, but it is expected that
the term will be something of divorce
term

citizens to purchase considerable
area of land which may be held sub
ject to the needs of the school.

Senator Lodge, Speaker Walker says:
II believe that voice the sentiment

dent. You were returned to the United
States Senate on the understanding
that you would do all in your power
to further this cause You accepted
this support given in good faith with
out which you could not have been re-
elected.
I'm view of your position on this ques-
ton at the time OF your election to the
Senate. have we not right to expect
you to stand by the President at this cn
tical time? Yet when the test comes
instead of upholding the treaty and fight.
ing hostile amendments, we find you join
ing with other senator's in the submission
Of amendments which the President an.
nounces will jeopardize the treaty.
do you consider this attitude on your
part as entirely frank and fair? Is it a
sincere fulfllment of your prediction
pledges?"
The directors Of the Boston Chamber o.
Commerce today adopted resolutions de
manding the passage of the reciprocity
bill and condemnfng attempts to amend

The chamber went on record as earnest
ly requesting the Massachusetts, senators
to use their best efforts to secure prompt

MARINES COMING FROM CUBA.
Action to Be Taken When Peace II

vinced that peace In Mexico is established
