the whole following the special meet
ing and discussed plans for the dedi-
cation of the new building. Mayor
Scholey reported that he had been adj
vised that between fifty and sixty of
the members of the Wisconsin State
Legislature and many of the state off
Gals would come to Kenosha to be the
guests of the city at the time Of the
dedication. 1t was also stated that of
icials were coming from many cities
Seventeen of the societies in the city
have already accepted the invitation
to join in the parade and several of
them will have bands of their own for
the occasion. The committee in charge
of the parade reported that arrange
ments had been made to secure orches-
tras and bands and practically all the
musicians in the city win be secured
for the parade. The program for the
ceremonies attending the dedication IS
all made up and it will be given to the
public within a short time. It IS plan
ned to make the ceremonies decidedly
interesting without making them tire
some. The formal invitations are to
be sent out the first of next week and
the list of invitations will be made up
by committee consisting of Mayor
Scholey, Alderman Pirseh and City At
torney Stewart. The list included
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt as well as many distinguish
ed men of Wisconsin and surrounding
states.
The factories in the city will be ask
ed to close on the afternoon of the day
set for the dedication and it is certain
that all of the factory managers will
comply with this request of the city.

four 0 clock in the morning. The body
of Lenhard was found about seven
o'elock and it was an hour later when
DR.. Pugh was called to the house to at
tend him.
Lenhard seems to have been drink
ing heavily for several days and it is
alleged that he was intoxicated when
he went to his home on Sunday even
ing. It was admitted that one of the
jets was loose but the other one seemed
to be in perfect repair. A new mys-
terry was added to the case by the find
ing of bottle which had contained a
deadly poison. This bottle was found
near the home of Lenhard and it is
thought possible that he might have
had the bottle. AS yet no postmortem
examination of the remains has been
held but it is possible that the body
will be examined before the day is
over
The conditions surrounding the find
ing of the body together with the facts
that have been brought out have caused
the police to take an interest in the
case and Chief Q Hare stated this
morning that he would make the full
est possible investigation. It is under
stood that he will have every aid from
the coroner and it is possible that the
the inquest may be reopened later.

u. .E DOING ON LAKES.
Few Lake Vessels to go Into Commits
sion Before the Middle Of June.

There is no activity whatsoever
among vessel owners, and there is ev-
cry indication of a late opening of the
marine season on the Great lakes. Line
boats are being overhauled to some ex-
tent and work is in progress on a few
freighters. But no general fitting out
has begun.
The present condition of the iron and
steel market does not lend much en-
enlargement that the opening of navi-
cation will be any earlier than was
predicted few weeks ago when the
prevailing opinion was for the latter
part Of June or the first Of July. Since
tile railroads which placed orders for
the supplies prior to the rendering of
the rate decision have not Cancelled
their orders other purchasers are stead
lily buying in small quantities.
1t seems to be the sentiment of the
day to hold back until something more
dehnbe IS known ABOUT the legislative
program for the new congress. Still
the general tone Of the iron and steel
market is better. 1t must be still bet
ter and the furnaces of the country
must greatly increase their orders for
ore from the docks to bring the move
ment to the furnaces up to what they
were a year ago this month.
The shipments last month were
about 100000 tons and there was a sur
plus over last year on the opening of
the month of 100000 tons. This means
the shipments in March to bring the
ore on dock down to the point it was
at last year must be more than three
times what they were last month.

noon the jury in the Circuit court
which had heard the evidence in the
trial of the state VS. Adolph Revken
charged with being an accessory before
the fact to the crime of grand larceny
brought in a verdict acquitting the de-
fendant. The case had been given to
the jury less than half an hour before
the verdict was rendered Revken did
nos put in any elaborate defense in
the case and it went to the jury prac
tically on the unsupported evidence Of
Goldstein the man who was brought
here from Waupun to testify against
Revken who was formerly his emplov-
er. There was great rejoicing among
the friends of Revken with the return
of the verdict a large number of them
having come down from Racine to hear
the closing of the case.

FURNITURE BEING PUT IN
Buildings Will be Ready for Occupancy
by the Common Council by Next
Monday Evening-Hold up Part Of
Contract Price.


The city of Kenosha now has a home
for its officials as the Common Council
at the special meeting on Monday ev-
ening accepted the new city hall by
unanimous vote and this morning the
representatives of the General Con-
struction company turned the keys of
the building over to Alderman James
Filbin, chairman of the Building Com
mittee. The general contractors have
as under it the city retains fifteen per
cent of the general contract for term
of thirty days after the acceptance of
the building and it is understood that
the contractors will right any errors
that may be discovered after the city
takes possession Of the building. With
the formal turning over of the keys to-
day the city officials will at once be-
Gin putting the building into condition
for occupancy. All of the furniture
needed for the building is now in Ken
osha and the work of putting it in will
be started tomorrow. The men from
the furniture factories came with the
furniture and they are to have entire
charge of the instf llation of it and
when this work is completed the build
ing will be ready for the city officials
to move in.
The council after considerable debate
elected John McLaurin as janitor Of
the new building and he will receive a
salary of $65 month the same that is
being paid to the janitors of the city
schools. He is to begin work on April
1st and in the meantime the commit
tee on buildings was given power to
employ such help as may be needed to
keep the building in shape. The vacu-
UNI cleaning system is to be installed
in the building before the officials
move their Offices and it is thought
that this will be a great aid to the jan
itor in keeping the building clean.

JURY BRINGS OPEN VERDICT
Man May Not Have Met Accidental
Death as New Evidence Found Points
Strongly to Suicide-Find Bottle
Which Contained Poison.
(From Tuesday Daily.l

Something of mild sensation has
been caused by Coroner James H. Stan
ton in calling jury to Investigate into
the death of Adolph Lenhard who was
found asphyxiated with Illuminating
gas at his home on South Oak street
ON Monday morning and while the cor
oner's jury returned a verdict this
morning fixing no cause for the death
of Lenhard it is understood that an in
vestigation is still being carried for
ward with the intention, if possible of
securing more facts in regard to the
death of the man. After the body was
found on Monday morning the coroner
went to the house and after he had
made an investigation it was announc
ed that no inquest would be held as the
coroner was satisfied with the facts in
the case. Later in the day the coroner
directed that a jury be called. Evil
dence produced at the inquest today
showed remarkable lack of interest
in the case on the part of some of the
relatives Of the man and it was brought
out that no effort had been made to
save the life of Lenhard until after a
doctor reached the house more than an
hour after the body had been found in
the room. The evidence brought out
the fact that one of the men at the
house had peeked into the room and
had noticed Lenhard laying across the
bed but he did not enter the room to
open the windows or to even turn out
the gas. The evidence showed that two
gas jets were open in the room at the
time the body was found and this fact
| seems to make decidedly lame the the

1t appears that the members OF the
legislature are going right ahead with
their plans for raising their own sal
aries Notwithstanding the fact that the
people of the state did not show their
appreciation of the value Of their SER
vices by an overwhelming vote in tav-
or of more pay for their representa-
tives at Madison when the question was
submitted to referendum vote at the
general election. However, it the
members are determined on a change,
it might make their action more popu-
lar if they would adopt a sliding scale
of compensation based on the time they
spend in Madison, something like that
in force in Missouri. In that state the
members of the legislature receive So
per diem for the first seventy days OF
the session and only 81 day for every
additional day the Legislature is In ses-
sion. The trainers of the Missouri con-
stitution evidently believed that If the
members devoted themselves strictly to
business it would be possible for them
to transact all the public work neces-
Bary within a reasonable time and that
the sliding scale of pay would furnish
the incentive for them to omit the US
ual sparring for some fancied political
advantage which usually prolongs the
sessions and make the passage of in
despensible legislation the first consid-
Grafton of the members, thus saving the
taxpayers of the state the heavy sex
penses of long session Of the legisla-
tVre. There is no question but there
has been lot of time wasted at Madi-
son in the last few sessions and it has
been the length of the sessions and the
long weeks that, must be for the most
part frittered away at the capitol rath-
err than small pay which has deferred
men who would unquestionably make
most valuable members from seeking
places in the legislature. To some of
the men seeking an increase Of salary,
this plan of decreasing the pay as the
length of the sessions increases will not
appeal with particular force but if they
would adopt it they could rely upon
this feature to make it popular with
the people of the state. There would
be chance then that the legislature
would get right down to work the first
Of the session, finish up his business,
and 90 home.

APPROVE THE TEST.

The use of the tuberculin test to pre-
vent the transmission of tuberculosis
through meat and milk is upheld in a
report OIL conditions and their anchor
alton made public by the department
of agriculture Drastic national aud
state measures for the protection of the

R. '. BAKER TO SUCCEED HIM
Mr.. Maloney VIII Give up the Duties
of the Office on Saturday to Become
National Official of New Fraternal
Ordero
(From Tuesdays Daily


John B. Maloney for the past five
years postmaster for the city of Ken
osha has resigned his position. The
resignation filed with the department
on March IL was accepted by the Post
master General this morning and on
the recommendation of Congressman
Henry Allen Cooper, President Taft has
named former District Attorney Rob
ert Verne Baker to be postmaster of
the city for the unexpired term of Mr..
Maloney. Mr.. Baker has not been for
mally notified of his appointment but
telegram from Congressman Cooper
this afternoon states that the prelim-
mary papers were forwarded to Mr..
Baker from the department on Monday
evening.
Mr.. Baker has announced that he
will accept the Office and it is expected
that the appointment will meet with
universal satisfaction among the pat
rons of the office.
The resignation of Mr.. Maloney has
been considered by him for the past
three months and he leaves the postal
service to go into one of the head Of
fees of new fraternal organization
which is to have it's headquarters eth
err at Sheboygan or Kenosha. The pro
position was laid before Mr.. Maloney
some months ago and he was offered
the Office of Grand Treasurer of the or
ganization It is stated that several
well known Kenosha men will be fnan-
cially interested in the new organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Maloney was named as postmas
ter of Kenosha by President Roosevelt
TO succeed Captain Charles Frantz i've
years ago this month. Under his man
agement the post office has made rapid
advancement. At the time Mr.. Malon-
ely took charge the office was a second
class Office and in the five years it has
advanced to the rating of first class
Office, the new post Office building has
been completed and many improve
ments have been made in the service.
Governmental officials have declared
that Mr.. Maloney was one of the best
posted men in the service Of the govern
ment.
Robert Verne Baker the new post
master needs no introduction in Ken
osha. He was born and raised in the
city and has made an enviable reputa-
ton as an attorney. Known as the
" Fighting District Attorney" he gain
ed state wide fame for his ability as
prosecutor and his defeat at the recent
election was a matter of general regret.
1t is possible that when Mr.. Baker
takes over the office it will be with the
understanding that he will have the
power to conclude such cases as he now
has pending in court.
Congressman Cooper has shown con
siderable wisdom in making his APP
pointment before the resignation of Mr..
Maloney became generally known as
his action at this time has made impos-
sible any bitter fight over the naming
of new official.
1t is not expected that any change
in the force of the Office will be made
when Mr.. Baker assumes control. M.
f, zens the assistant postmaster is IN
der the civil service and he will remain
in Office.
