ISSUES PROCLAMATION.
Governor Asks People of the State to
Unite in Observing Memorial Day.

Governor Asks People of the State to
Unite in Observing Memorial Day.
Governor McGovern has issued
proclamation fixing Tuesday, May 80,
as Memorial Day and recommending
that it be observed by all people.
His proclamation, in part, is as fol-
lows:
"Fatriotic and memorial exercises
will be planned by the grand army of
the republic and the Women's Relief
corps and other patriotic organizations,
old and young, as well, as is in their
power should join in these exercises
and lend aid in carrying out the pur-
pose to which this day has been ded-
icated.
tAll too soon taps will be sounded
ordering the last hero of the civil war
to his rest. But thanks to the OBJ
servance of this day, the memorial flag
will still float over his grave as an
eloquent sign Of his patriotism and
faith,
sit is further recommended that on
this day families visit Gods acre
where their loved ones rest and there
offer floral tribute to their memory.
It is well that one day in each year
shall be devoted to showing respect to
the dead by SO simple an act of af-
lection and communication.
"Nothing will be more appropriate
or expressive than placing beautiful
wreaths and fragrant blossoms upon
the graves of those who have depart
ed. Let Memorial Day, 1911, be OBJ
served in such way that it may
prove a benediction on the living as
well as a tribute of respect for the
dead.'

1t is reported that proposition
suggesting compromise of the old
fight between the telephone company
and the city has been made through
the attorney Of the company to the
city, but whether or not it would be
to the advantage of the city to accept
IL is something that will have to be
decided by the council. This case is a
fair illustration of the delays that may
be expected when any matter in which
the city is interested gets into the
courts and the lawyers take a hand.
About every SO often there is new
suit fled or some other move in the
game, but the case never seems to get
much nearer a settlement and appar-
entity there is nothing that can be done
to hurry things up. There is a deci-
SION always coming some time in the
future and all that can be done is to
wait for it.

ZION GIRLS STRIKE
Young Women at Lace Works
RefusetO Work Under Fore
man Not With VOliva
STRANGEST STRIKE ON RECORD

Dissatisfied, it appears, because of
the fact that one not of their religious
beliefs had been placed over them,
thirty girls. employed in the handker-
chief section of the Marshal Field
Lace Works at Zion City, walked out
Monday and refused to operate their
machines.
For some time past, William Ed
wards and Lewis Mitchell, both fol-
lowers Of Voliva, have been repair
men on the machines in that section of
the plant. Monday morning, for what
reason is not known, both men were
discharged and another, named Robert
Murdoch, who is much more experience
eG on the machines than the others,
it is said, was placed in their stead.
This apparently angered the girls, and
as Murdoch is an independent they
promptly walked out of the shop and
up the hill, where they were reviewed
by General Overseer Voliva and term
ed a noble band Of women.
At the lace works this morning it
was stated that twenty-three girls left
their work. but as there are over $50
girls employed in that factory, it is
not likely that the service will be
crippled. It is thought that they will
all be back to work by Wednesday
as word has been sent out that their
places will be held until that time,
and then will be filled by others.
The strike is another factor in the
fight between the two factions of the
city, the girls refusing to work under
an Independent, one stating that it
was an "insult to their religion to be
forced to obey one whom the devil
has under his control.'
Nearly every girl in the lace works
is follower of the Voliva religion, it
is said and everyone of the strikers
swears allegiance to the general over
seer. There is no chance that the
strike will spread to any other section
of the plant, as the trouble is purely
local in the handkerchief section of
the huge factory.

We presume it is matter of in
difference to most of the people of the
county whether a new deputy game
warden, more acceptable possibly to
the powers at Madison, is put in to
represent the game warden's depart
ment in this section or whether the
present incumbent of the office holds
on to his job through the operation of
civil service rules or the exercise of a
political pull, but it is only fair at
this time to call the attention of the
people Of the county to the fact that
much of the opposition to the present
deputy game warden comes from peo-
pie he has run up against in the dis
charge of his duties. No man can hold
such position and attend to business
without making hosts Of enemies and
there is never an arrest made without
the parties who pay the fines for vio-
lating the game laws informing the
deputy warden that they twill get his
job. :" That is something every depu-
ty who is at all active meets with all
the time and the amount collected in
fines in. this county shows plainly
enough that there must be lots of that
kind of Opposition-to the present hold
er of this Office.

The new law relating to street
sprinkling which gives city councils
the power to order this work without
any petitions from property owners
whenever in the discretion of the al
dermen this work is necessary on any
street for the safety and comfort of
the public enables the Kenosha coun-
ell to exercise absolute control over
the sprinkling in the future, but as
the law also, for the protection of the
property owners, requires the strictest
accounting of all money spent in this
way it should result in a decrease in
the cost of this work in the future.
The property owners who petition for
the sprinkling year after year want it
badly enough ON their streets to pay
what many of them consider an ex-
orbitant price for the service they
get, but when the council elects to 90
ahead and order this work done it is
hardly possible that some of the
property owners who do not care es-
pecially for the sprinkling will submit
to paying for it at the present scale
of prices without test of the law in
the courts. And they may win on it
if they can show that it is the inten-
ton to charge them more for the same
service than the property owners in
other cities pay,

Perhaps those two arrests for speed
ing Sunday were all the motorcycle
squad was lucky enough to run onto,
but Judging from the dozens of reports
of violations all through the day the
police were unfortunate in not being
at the fright place at the right
time However, a start has been
made and that is something and the
police can 60 right on from where they
left off Sunday. 1t will be noticed
that some of the regular offenders
have slowed up perceptibly since it
was announced that the police meant
business and it will not be very
difficult matter to make the viola
tions of the speed laws the exception
and not the rule as at present just as
soon as the officers succeed in con-
vincing the drivers that they are play
ing no favorites. Go to it. One ar
rest day will do it if that is all the
squad feels equal to.

The question is new one and one
that will require the Investigation of
the legal department. of the city and
it was referred to the committee on
Judiciary with the city attorney added.
The railway company has made a
suggestion TO the council in regard to
sprlnkling streets over which its cars
run. The company offers to sprinkle
twenty-four feet of all streets passed
over during the entire season if the
city will agree to furnish the water
for such sprinkling without charge.
Under its franchise the company is now
required to sprinkle its right of way.
This matter was left in the hands of
the street assessment committee to
confer with the board of water COM
missioners and the manager of the
company.
The city paid up the final bills for
the, building of the city hail on the
of the building COM
mittee and it is now thought that
every cent Of Indebtedness contracted
in connection with the erection of the
building has been paid.
The Kenosha Industrial association
presented a petition to the city asking
that some action be taken in regard
to the annexation of the property
owned by the association and while no
legal action could be taken the coun-
Gil by majority vote assured the Of
fcials of the association that the prop
erty would be annexed just as soon as
the proper legal steps for such annexa,
tion We're taken by the property own
ers.
DR.. George E, Thompson was elected
city physician for the coming year at
a salary of 1912. The bid of DR..
Thompson was the only one received
by the council and action on it was
taken by unanimous consent Of the
aldermen.
Lewis Eve was named as official
printer for the city for the coming
year.
Under the recommendation of the
street assessment committee the coun-
Gil will ask for bids for paving South
street from the lake to the railway
track with asphalt.

Most of us take a great deal of in
terest in the efforts Of the industrial
association to locate new plants in the
city, but one of the local industries
can go right ahead and built additions
as large or larger than some of the
concerns that the associations would
pay large bonuses to in the way of
a site and buildings to get, without at
tracing any notice particularly. 1t is
a safe gamble that other cities are
more impressed with the marvellous
growth of our local industries than
the people of Kenosha.

PROPERTY OWNERS CHANGE
Elizabeth Street Sends Big Petition
to Council asking That the Street
be Improved With Brick Instead of
Asphalt.

The city council and the members
OF the board of education have reach
ed an agreement to provide for the
building of the addition to the Frank
school at once and at the regular
meeting of the common council on
Monday evening the finance committee
OF the council was directed to make
arrangements for a bond issue in the
sum OF $4,000 to provide the money
necessary for the erection of the adj
dit1on to the building. President
Threlnen Of the. board of education
stated to the council that the work
would be started at once and it is
hoped that the new addition of eight
rooms will be ready for occupancy by
the time the new school year opens in
September. The bonds will probably
be issued to run over period Of five
years with the understanding that one
fifth of them shall be paid off annual
ly.
The question of the paving of
Elizabeth street was brought up in
the form of a petition signed by a
large number Of the property owners
on the street who asked that the street
be paved with brick. Many Of these
people had, before this time signed a
petition for an asphalt paving, but
they insisted that they had changed
their minds. The street assessment
committee was not ready to make any
report on the question of the paving of
the street, but it was understood that
the report of the committee is to be
brought in at the next regular meeting
of the council and it is thought that
the contract can be let so as to per
nit the completion of the work this
year.
The Kenosha Electric Railway com
pany sent a protest to the council
against the assessment Of personal
taxes by the city. The company
claims that the taxes of the company
are fixed by the state and that the
city has no right to levy a second tax.

bond issue. This will demand the sub
mission of the question to the people
and it is probable that special cleo
tion will be held to authorize the issu-
ance of new series of bonds to COM
plete the payment. With the arrange
ments that have been made for the III
innate payment of the sewer it is not
thought that a call for a second bond
issue will meet with any opposition.

BIG VAULT IS
MOVED TO HAMMOND
Thirty Eight Ton Safe For
Hammond Bank At
tracts Attention.

The large vault which is 70 be used
by the American Trust & Savings bank
in Hammond has been purchased from
the Fletcher National Bank and is be-
ing removed from it's old bank build
ing in Indianapolis.
The moving of this vault from tire
old bank building to nat cars on the
Monon railroad attracted q great deal
of attention The following from THE
TIMES Indianapolis Bureau tells of the
moving of the vault at indianapolis.
Indianapolis. Ind. July 29.-Traffic
was halted and pedestrians paused to
witness an interesting feat In heavy
trucking in Washington street. An
immense steel vault was moved from
the old Fletcher Bank building. now
being dfsmantled, and hauled to car
in the Mouon yards. The vault weigh
ing thirty-eight tons, was hoisted on
blocks with large BALL bearing jacks
and then moved on rollers through a
large cavity created in the Washington
street front of the building. The crew
rolled the vault to a heavy truck drawn
by eight horses. The doors of the vault
weighing seven tons, had been loaded
on another car. The entire vault equip.
ment weighs sixty-five tons and it will
require two large fat cars to carry 1t
to Hammond. where it is to be part of
the equipment of the American Trust
and Savings Bank.
People watching the men moving the
big vault had fun with themselves
wishing they had all the money tina,
had ever been inside its steel walls.
If / had all the money that has been
slowed away in that vault I'd get mar
ried,' remarked one young woman
passer-by and 1t drew laugh from
the men working on the job.
