PROSECUTIONS TO FOLLOW.
Statute Does not Compel Shipment of
Bodies in the Alright Metal-Line
Baskets and Embalmers May Have
Licenses Revoked.

Punishment is threatened by the
state board Of health for certain un-
dertakers in Wisconsin who it is re-
ported, have required patrons to puf-
chase alright metallic collins or me-
tal-lined boxes for the local burial of
various communicable diseases. and
also for the transportation of persons
dead from typhoid fever, puerperal
fever, tuberculosis and measles.
Ii the relatives and friends of the
deceased request that an alright
metal LINED casket or box be provided, -
says the board in it's quarterly bulletin
issued today; there is no good reason
why it should not be furnished, but
undertakers who deceive innocent peo-
pie by advising them that the state
law and the, rules of the Wisconsin
state board of health require that this
be done are deliberately misrepresent-
ing the situation, and in the future if
we know of cases where deception of
this character is practiced we will not
hesitate to revoke the license of the
guilty party"
The report records that at the last
examination, held at Milwaukee, forty
out of the sixtyfour candidates who
took the examination for the licensing
Of embalmers passed and were granted
licenses.
The quarterly report Of infectious
and contagious diseases for the second
quarter of 1911 shows there were re-
ported by the health officers of the
state 442 cases of diptheria, 212 cases
of typhoid fever, liz cases of whoop-
l. ing cough, 129 cases of smallpox, 993
cases of scarlet fever, 1910 cases of
measles, 307 cases of tuberculosis Is
case of meningitis and 7 cases of
anterior poliomyelitis or infantile
paralysis.
The bulletin cites that since the leg
islature of 1911 authorized county
boards to erect and maintain sanitoria
for the treatment of tuberculosis in the
advanced or secondary stages several
county boards have voted to erect a
sanitarium. Fond du Lac and Douglas
counties have already made an appro-
priation of 10000 for this purpose.
Eau Claire, Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties will undoubtedly take favorable
action in short time. Statistics show
there are in this state about $4,000 ac-
tive cases Of tuberculosis, with but 265
beds available for their care and
| treatment.
Since the passage of the law two
years ago authorizing the state school
| inspectors to condemn unsanitary
school buildings ffty-four school
houses have been condemned. In about
two-thirds of the cases new buildings
have been erected, and in the remain
ing cases the school building has been
repaired so as to make it fit place
| for the pupils.

Sec. of War Formally Ap
proves of Harbor Lines as
Set at March Conference
NO DEV|AT|ONs TO Be MADE

Formal notice has been issued that
the secretary of war has approved the
new harbor lines for the Kenosha har
Dor established at meeting of inter
ested parties held at the old city hall
in Kenosha on March % of this year
and that these lines will supercede all
harbor lines previously established. A
blue print and map of the, lines has
been made and a copy of it has been
filed with the city clerk.
The map of the new harbor lines shows
few deviations from the original lines
of the harbor, In some places the lines
have been changed to conform with
present lines, but in most cases where
changes were made in the old lines the
war department refused to accept the
changed lines as permanent and it is
probable that within short time the
owners of property on which the lines
were changed will receive formal no
tice from the government that piers
and docks must be changed in order to
map as approved by the war depart
ment.
Major Chas. S. Cromwell of the corps
of engineers, who is in charge of the
Milwaukee district, at the time of the
meeting in Kenosha, announced that
he would not consider any petitions for
changes In the lines as shown on the
new map. He intimated that it was
possible that the government would not
interfere with existing lines so long
as no effort was made to repair docks,
but just as soon as new work was to
be put in he would insist that the lines
as shown on the map be followed.
There is slight change in the harbor
lines along the property Of the Balm
Wagon company giving the owners of
this property the right to straighten
out the dock line. On the north size
of the harbor the lines are materially
changed from the existing lines and in
some places the docks will have to be
built many feet back of their present
location in order to conform with the
new lines as shown on the map.
Several of the Kenosha owners of
docks are now planning for the repair
of docks, but they claim that it will
be all bnt impossible tn repair the
docks along the lines laid down on the
map on account of the condition of
the roadways and buildings adjoining
the docks. These people have sent Pc
titions TO Major Cromwell asking that
they be permitted to drive row of
piles outside the present dock line, but
in every case the permission has been
refused and the major has insisted that
the lines as shown in the map be fol
lowed. The matter of building the
docks has been taken up by the city
and the city attorney has been instruct
ed to take the matter up with the en-
cheering department. of the govern
ment in hopes that the city will be
better able to secure these slight
changes in the fixed lines.
For the most part the new lines are
satisfactory to the owners of property
along the harbor and no united effolt
will be made 10 change them.

START ON LONG TRIP.
Bimble Tribe of Gypsies Start from
Muskegon, Mich, to Kenosha.

The members of the Bimble Tribe of
Gypsies, sixty strong, left Muskegon,
Mich, Wednesday night with view Of
making a three hundred mile trip in
their wagons in order to be in Keno
sha on Sept. 25th to answer charges of
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm which are to be heard in the cir
cult court at that date. Attorney R.
Y. Baker, who represents the Bimbles
in the case received word this morning
that they had started on the long trip
and that they would in court on the
day set for the trial.
Tedy Coughlan, the complaining wit
ness against the Bimbles, is also a
gypsy and he is supposed to be in the
neighborhood of Libertyville, Ill., It

Orders have been issued to the fac
tory inspectors to enforce the laws reg
ulating the hours Of employment for
women and it is expected that an in
spection covering the whole state viii
be made as soon as possible. 1t is held
that all employers of women have. now
had time to adjust their business to the
requirements of the law and that those
who are still delinquent have not made
an effort to carry out its provisions and
must be brought to time by prosecu-
tions. There is undoubtedly consider
able feeling against the law in some
quarters among the very classes it was
intended to relieve of the burden of
long hours, but The only way to ascer-
tain whether public sentiment will sup
port the law in its present form is to
test it in the courts by prosecutions of
violators.

AUTO STRIKES WAGON.
Ed. Fischer of Park Ave. has Wagon
Damaged in Collision With Auto.

Edward Fischer, a painter residing on
South Park avenue, had a narrow es-
cape from serious injury late Thurs
day afternoon when the wagon in which
he was riding was struck by an automo-
bile on South Ashland avenue. The
wagon was turned over into the ditch
and Fischer thrown out, but he escap.
ed serious injury. The automobile was
owned by daughter of Col. w. P.
Moore of Durkee avenue and the Colonel
at once reported the accident to the
police. Later arrangements were made
to pay for all the damage sustained.
The collision was not due to reckless
driving, but the chauffeur of the auto
mobile was attempting to pull his au-
tomobile into the road when the wagon
was struck. The damage amounted to
only few dollars.

Kenosha Home Telephone Co.
Adopts New System for
Collection of Bills
PATRONS TO PAY BY CHECKS

The Kenosha Home Telephone COM
pany this morning announced change
in the method of the collection of bills
of the company and beginning with the
first of October the regular monthly
calls of the collectors of the company
will be eliminated and instead of the
collectors the company will send bills
to the patrons and they are expected
to pay these bills at the Central office
of the company just as gas and electric
light bills are paid. The company is
not offering any discount for the pay
ment of the bills promptly, but it is
stated that the company reserves the
right to discontinue service in any case
where the bills are not paid before the
18th of the month following their be-
ing mailed to subscribers. The plan
has been used by telephone companies
in all parts of the state and it is claim
ed that it's workings are better than
those of the system now in vogue in
Kenosha. The whole plan is explained
in letter which is being sent out to
all the patrons of the company today.
The letter follows:
Kenosha, Wis, Sept. l, 1911.
To Kenosha Subscribers:
In the past it has been the practice
of this company to collect bills for
telephone service at Kenosha through
the medium of collectors While the
exchange was small this plan worked
out very well for both the subscriber
and the company, but now that the
exchange has grown and subscribers are
distributed over the entire city and
parts of the outlying rural districts, it
has become impraeticable to make col
! lections in this manner. The subscriber
| is often Inconvenience by having col
lector call when there is no one at home
authorized to pay the bill, or at time
when it is not convenient to make pay
ment, several calls often being neces-
sary before the account is settled.
1t has been concluded, therefore, that
the interests of the subscriber and the
company can best be served by mailing
bills monthly to each subscriber and al
lowing payment to be made at any time
within the first fifteen days of the
month; payment to be made at the cen
trail Office, at $50 Market street.
Beginning Oct. LIST, 1911, bills will be
mailed to patrons and payment thereof
may be made at any time up to and
including the 18th of the month for
which the billing is made, the company
reserving the right to discontinue the
service at any station for which pay
ment has not been made as above pro-
vided.
Yours respectfully,
Kenosha Home Telephone Co.

CHRISTMAS SEALS CAN BE USED.
Secretary of Wisconsin Anti Tuberculo-
4 sis Assn. Explains Ruling.

The barring of Mcnamara and other
so-called stamps from the mails in no
wise affects the seal used by the Anti
tuberculosis association of this state. -
said the secretary of that organization.
The seal we get out is mucilaged, and
is ready to be pasted on the back of
the envelope or used as sticker on
packages.
"The order of the United States post
office department. is merely intended to
stop the use of stamps which might be
mistaken for postage stamps by mail
clerks. So long as the seals are used
where they are intended to be used
the back of the envelope-there will be
no trouble about them, I feel certain. -
