Taxpayers who are not satisfied with
their assessment must take the matter
up with the board of the review and
present their claims for a change in
their assessment to that body. After
the tax roll is made up and delivered
there can be no changes made and
taxes will be levied and collected on
the amounts turned in by the asses
sors and passed by the board. It is
also announced that no claims for re-
bates in taxes will be considered by
the council and while that body is
occasionally susceptible to a little de-
icately applied pressure from outside
it is probable that in this case the
ruling will stand for if rebates were
granted in few instances the num-
Der making application through the
council for relief from their taxes
would increase rapidly and that would
open the way to endless complications
and troubles for the aldermen. Tax
payers will be expected to look after
their own interests in the assessment
and if they fail to protect themselves
by ascertaining that the figures turn
ed in by the assessors against their
property are satisfactory they need
expect no relief from the council af-
ter the levy is made.

He goes empowered to ask that a
receiver be appointed, to demand a full
investigation of the business methods

policy holder who had been paying $4S

THINK ARSON PLOT HATCH|NG
Keys Which Must be Released by
Master Key Taken from West Side
Boxes and that Portion of the City
was Left Without Fire Call.

Members of the police and fire de-
partments have an interesting mystery
in connection with the thefts of keys
from fire alarm boxes on the west side
of the city and they are at a loss to
determine whether the keys were tax
en- in a spirit of vandalism or if they
were taken with view of setting
fires in that section of the city and
with the keys gone from the boxes
making it impossible for the fremen
to be called to the fires. The keys
were taken from boxes LA and 145
recently installed on the west side of
the city. There is something peculiar
in the disappearance of these keys.
The keys are hidden by a glass door
which is expected to be broken in case
there is fire and with the breaking
of this glass the door may be opened
with the key and the alarm turned in.
These keys are held in the box and
may not be released save by master
key held by the chief of the depart
ment and his assistant. No alarm was
turned in from either of the boxes
since they were installed and the dis
covery that both the keys were missing
was made by accident. The boxes had
evidently been opened by a master key
and the keys removed, but no effort
had been made to tamper with the
mechanism Of the box and it was in
perfect working order. After the keys
had been taken out the boxes had been
closed up and they locked automatical-
ly making it impossible to turn in an
alarm from them.
AS soon as it was found that the
two boxes had been tempered with the
chief of the department sent out men
to examine other boxes in the city, but
all others were found to be in first
class working condition. It is posi-
BILE that the theft of the keys was
the work of vandals, but it is hard to
see how boys could get hold of a mas
ter key which would release the KEYS
to the boxes. AS these keys are all
accounted for it appears that some one
has made an impression of the small
lock IN the boxes and has supplied
himself with a key for manipulating
them.
The police and fremen fear that 1t
may be necessary to 60 over all the
boxes in the city and arrange for some
new lock to hold the keys in the boxes.
With key to release the keys to the
boxes any one could cause the depart
ment no end of trouble by stealing
these keys and it would be practical
ly impossible to keep the boxes in
working order without keeping men
standing over them. A change in all
the locks would mean quite an expen-
diture to the department. In, the
meantime the members of both depart
ments are making every possible eff
fort to locate the people who stole the
keys, but the mystery seems to be a
battling one.

Nephew of English Earl''
Attempts to Leap From
Hospital Window
NURSES PREVENT RASH ACT

James L. Farr, the Scotchman, who
recently attempted suicide by taking
bi-chloride of mercury in a Main
street saloon, is proving very
bothersome patient at the Kenosha
hospital and his desire to end his life
is making it necessary for special
guard to be maintained over him at all
times and it is possible that it will be
necessary to remove him from the hos
pital and have him sent to one of the
state institutions pending the arrival
of funds or return him to his home in
Dundee, Scotland.
FAIR made another effort to commit
suicide on Saturday night when he
leaped from his bed and attempted to
throw himself from the window of the
ward at the hospital. He was restain-
ed by one of the nurses in attendance
and since that time he has been kept
under constant guard. The physicians
are not certain whether the man is
temporarily derarged or if he is just
suffering from intense pain caused by
the action of the poison taken on last
Thursday. It is now thought that he
will recover from the effects of the
poison, but he may be in the hospital
for many weeks. Little by little the
story of Farr is being secured by hos
pital attendants and county officials
and it is now discovered that the man
is nephew of an English Earl. tt is
thought from statements that he has
made that his relative is very promi-
nent in England and in English poll
tics.
Farr has steadily refused to give
out the name of this relative and he
has declared that he will kill himself
if the facts of the recent incident
reach Scotland and his relatives.
The man is thought to have been lead
ing fast life before he came to Ke-
nosha. While he had carefully torn
out even the tags On his clothing which
would have shown where the clothing
was made in the lining of his coat
was found a card which had printed
on it "James L. Farr, inventor of the
Bear Hug" 81
The officials in charge of the case
may decide to cable to the address
given by Farr with an idea of learn
ing something more about him and to
secure some funds for his care. Farr
was penniless when he went to the
hospital and it seems that the last
fifty cents he possessed was spent for
the poison with which he sought to end
his life. Farr is something of dream
er all right and it is just possible
that the story that he has been telling
of his connections in Scotland is one
Of his dreams. He declared on Satur-
day that he was formerly a civil en-
gineer, but the condition of his hands
do not give the idea that he has ever
done any very hard work.
AS the county is responsible for the
keep Of the man at the hospital every
possible investigation is being made
by County Agent Jones with a view
of getting at the facts in regard to
the man. Farr has repeatedly declar-
ed his intention of making a new at
tempt on his life and the nurses at
the hospital are held in constant fear
of these threats. It is thought that
Farr came to Kenosha from Chicago
on the day before he took the poison
and efforts arc now being made to find
out something in regard to his life in
Chicago.
