Friends of the Measure Declare Such
Action Will Mean the Death Of the
Idea When Sent to the States for
Ratification.
Washington, June "a vote viii be
taken in the senate Monday, under a
unanimous consent agreement, on the
resolution submitting to the states for
ratification a constitutional amend
ment for the election of United States
senators by popular vote.
Friends of the resolution expect
that it will pass and their hopes ap
pear to be well founded after can
vassing the sentiment of the senate
But the resolution is likely to pass
under circumstances that probably
will lead to the failure of sufficient
number of the states to ratify tao
amendment and in that way defeat
the proposition.
The fly in the ointment is the
Sutherland amendment. That amend
nent retains in the federal govern
ment control over the popular cleo
tion of senators in the various states
Southern senators are bitterly op
posed to it. They predict that tht
Southern states will never ratify the
amendment in that form.
Friends of the resolution will try
to defeat the Sutherland amendment
to the end that they may save thu
principle from defeat III the las
analysis. They are not hopeful. /
looks as If the Sutherland amend
ment would command anywhere from
two to five majority in the senate
The house, it is conceded, will con
cur in the amendment il 1t is adopte,
in the senate.
One of the anomalies of the situa
tion is that the senators most hostil'
to the popular election of senator
are the most enthusiastic advocate
of the Sutherland amendr- ent, doubt
less because they realize it mean
| death to the idea in the end.

PLANS FOR INSTITUTION READY
Committees From Racine and Kenosha
County Will Urge Erection of San
itarium for Use of Three Counties
Next yeaS.

The Kenosha Committee in charge
of the fight against tuberculosis have
sent out hundreds of letters to Ken
osha people asking that they aid in
the movement to secure legislation in
Wisconsin to make it possible for the
counties of the state to establish SAM
toria for the treatment of advanced
cases of tuberculosis. The people in
terested in the movement are Urged to
send letters to Senator Bishop and AS
sembly1nan Scholey and ask them to
vote for the passage of the bill. The
bill provides county aid for the main
tenance of these hospitals for consump-
tives and gives the county boards of
the various counties the right to pro
vide funds for the erection of such
hospitals.
The matter was taken up in Kenosha
county ut the last meeting of the coun-
ty board and sentiment favorable to
the erection of the hospital was shown
but the District Attorney held that I'M
der the present laws of the state there
was no statute which gave the county
board the right to make an appropria-
ton for such a hospital. However, the
board directed the Kenosha committee
engaged in the fight against consump-
tiYes to make plans for the erection
of such an institution with az view Of
having the matter laid before the board
again at the next session in November.
Since that time headers of the Ken
osha and Racine committees Of the
movement have held several meetings
and they are agreed on a plan to build
joint sanitarium which may be used
by the people of Racine, Kenosha and
Walworth counties. 1t would probably
be located on the lake shore between
Racine and Kenosha and Central Park
is being considered as a location. 1t
is thought that dividing the cost be-
tween the three counties the &ounties
would be given chance to care for pa
tients in advanced stages of tubercu-
losis in an exceedingly economical man
ner. 1t is expected that the first cost
of such an institution would be in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and the cost
of maintaining it would be in the
neighborhood of $4,000 a year at the
present time. Future cost would de
pend entirely upon the number of pa
tionts sent by the three counties.
1t is pretty certain that the bill Civ
ing the counties the RICH to establish
these saniSariums will be passed by the
legislature as the members have shown
Willingness to aid the fight against
consumption.

Mrs. Richard Price, Promi-
nent Woman of Paris, Dies
From Blood Poisoning
CASE PUZZLE TO PHYSICIANS

Mrs. Anna Price, aged 63 years, wife
of Richard Price and one of the best
known women Of the western part of
the county died suddenly at her home
in the town of Paris on Tuesday after
a few days illness from blood poison
ing. The case has proven something of
a puzzle to the physicians in charge of
the case Walter Price a son of the
deceased who is a student at the Uni.
versity of Wisconsin recently came to
his home suffering from bad case of
scarlet fever and his mother had been
an charge of nursing him back to
health.
On last Friday evening Mrs. Price
noticed a small sore on her left leg but
she paid little attention to it thinking
that it was of no consequence. When
the physicians were called on Sunday a
serious case of blood poisoning had de-
yeloped and since Monday morning the
condition of Mrs. Price had been con
sidered critical.
Mrs. Price was a native of England
but came to this country when a girl
and settled in the town of Paris. She
is survived by ten children, four sons
and six daughters. During her long
life in the town of Paris Mrs. Price
had been prominent among the women
of the town.
The funeral which will be private
will be held on Thursday afternoon
The sudden death of Mrs. Price under
the circumstances has caused deep sor
row in the community in which she liv

Mrs. VIM. Huenink of Cedar
Grove Dies on N. W. Train
After Leaving Kenosha
WAS A BRIDE OF FEW WEEKS

Mrs Eleanor Huenink, bride of on
ly few months, died on board a
Northwestern train between Kenosha
ana Racine on Tuesday morning while
enroute to her home in Cedar Grove,
Wis, from Grand Rapids, Mich. The
body was removed from the train at
Racine and taken to the undertaking
parlors of the Thronson Furniture com
pany, where a post norton examina-
ton revealed the fact that the young
woman had died from natural causes.
William Huenink, who gave his age
as 20, said they were married last Oc-
tober. When the November term at a
veterinary college in Grand Rapids OPP
ened he and his bride went there to
live while he took up his studies.
A week ago Friday his wife was tax
en- sick. He called in a physician and
she seemed to get better. Her condi-
tion became worse yesterday and he
was advised to take her to her former
home in Wisconsin. They left Grand
Rapids last night on sleeper for Chi
cago, where they arrived at Z clock
this morning. They made the transfer
in a city bus to the Northwestern sta
ton and left Chicago at s clock for
their destination. His wife became
suddenly worse on the train and died
in his arms midway between here and
Racine.
Cedar Grove is located IA miles south
of Shehoygan on the Northwestern
line. Huenink's father is a prominent
veterinary surgeon in that part of the
county. at first it was thought that
the young woman had died from hem
orrhages and the district attorney or
dered post norton. The body viii
be taken north on an evening train.

MAsoNs AT A DINNER.
Eighty Members of the Royal Arch
Chapter Attended Dinner Tuesday.

Members of the Kenosha Chapter of
the Royal Arch Masons had a note
worthy gathering at the Masonic Tenn
pie on Tuesday evening when more
than eighty members of the Kenosha
Chapter and many visiting members
of the order were present at meeting
at which Past Grand High Priest Will
lam Wright of Milwaukee was the
guest of honor. During the earlier
part OF the evening the degree of the
Royal Arch was conferred with the
guest of the evening acting as Princi-
pal Sojourner. Following the rituals
tic work there was a banquet served
by the members of the Eastern Star

thar hundred guests. DIR. W. H. Car
son, High Priest of the Chapter acted
as POSTMASTER and toasts were res
pended to by Mr.. Wright, members of
the class Of initiates and a number of
well known members of the chapter.

WOULD vIND|CATE POSITION
District Attorney Hastings Declares
That He is Ready to Meet Former
Official Half Way in Any Investiga-
ton.


With the appointment of Robert
Verne Baker as postmaster of the city
it was supposed that his contest to test
the right Of Henry J. Hastings to the
Office Of District Attorney would be
dropped but it is possible that the case
started by Baker may yet be called for
trial in the Circuit court. Mr.. Baker
declared on Tuesday that under the cir
cunstances it would be impossible for
him to accept the office of District At
torney even if the court decided that
he was entitled to the Office but that
he believed that it was his duty in the
matter to show the facts he had gath
cred to the courts in order that stop
might be put to illegal voting in the
county in the future. Mr.. Baker will
begin his duties as postmaster on next
Saturday morning but it is expected
that he will continue in the practice of
law until he has closed up number
Of important cases which he now has in
court. When seen on Tuesday after
noon Mr.. Baker said: CT am unwilling
to say that I shall drop the quo war
ranto proceedings brought to test the
election of Mr.. Hastings. I feel con
WINGED that the facts which [ charged
in this complaint are true and if such
is the fact it seems to me that it
would be. my duty to present these facts
to the court even though [ could not
personally benefit by any decision the
court might make. | feel THAI was
right in the matter and it seems to me
that I should convince the people that
I acted in good faith
District Attorney Hastings smiled
when informed that Mr.. Baker had
been named as postmaster but he de-
clined to make any comment on the
possible dropping Of the quo warranto
proceedings. Mr.. Hastings insisted
that he had filed his answer and that
like Mr.. Baker he was convinced that
he would be able to show that the con-
tents Of the answer were true.
1t is expected that friends of the
two attorneys will seek to have the ac-
ton dropped as it is certain that no.
thing could be gained by a further
prosecution of it. Should the court sus-
| tain the contention of Mr.. Baker and
he should DECLINE to accept the office
of District Attorney it would be up to
the Governor to name successor to
Mr.. Hastings. This would only bring
complication and it is thought that
the Governor would be urged under the
circumstances to name Mr.. Hastings
for the office regardless Of his political
affiliations.

casion for a great audience of her
friends and well -wishers No one who
plays the Rhode has a larger or more

stunts of hypnotism have been re-
placed by new and up-todate expert

vanced knowledge Of the interesting
science. The fun side of the pro
gram has been strongly emphasized

in describing it as "hurricane Of hill
arity." However, that may be it is
certain amusement lovers will have a
good time and more than get their mon
ey's worth.
For the opening night ladies will be
admitted free under the usual condi-

Campbell Brothers Circus

Last Thursday the big circus
was IN town. Campbell Brothers
great consolidated shows spread
their tents and paraded their
beasts Of the forest over th,
town that reminded us of our
boyhood days when we would
follow the circus from beginning
to end and carry water for the
elephant for a ticket to the big
performance.
The show was literally pat
ronized in every way, and the
performance was entirely salts
factory. The management of
the circus seemed to be above
the average, and there was
nothing during the entire day
