officials of Electric Interur-
ban Lines are Seeking
to Avoid Accidents
TO HOLD MEETING IN CHICAGO

Officials Of the electric interurban
railroads throughout the country are
renewing their efforts to establish a
uniform code of operating rules and
regulations similar to those that have
been used by the steam roads for years.
A principal purpose of securing stan
dard rules is to eliminate accidents
caused by having different sets of rules
on different roads, especially in cases
where one or more roads operate over
the tracks of another. Benefits of uni
formity also are seen in cases where
men formerly employed ON one road
change to another line.
At meeting to be held in Chicago
next week, committee representing
the American Electric Railway associa-
tion and the Transportation and Traf-
fic association of Electric Railways will
attempt to revise the present rules.
There will be an effort to promote the
Standardization plan by reconciling
differences in the old code of interur-
ban rules and code formulated at the
Denver meeting of the American asso-
citation last year.
The effort toward a standard code
along the lines of the American Rail
way association code used by steam
roads has been IN progress for several
years, and still further progress in this
direction is expected from the work of
the committee, which meets in Chicago
on April IL and 10. The report Of the
committee will be submitted later to
the annual meeting Of the American
Electric Railway association. j. W.
Brown, superintendent of the Aurora,
Elgin and Chicago railway at Wheaton,
is chairman of the committee.

HAD A JOLLY TIME
Big Crowd of Odd Fellows Go
to Racine and Initiate Can
didates Saturday Night
STATE CONVENTION HELD HERE

Saturday night was a red letter
night in the history Of the Kenosha
Encampment Of ODD Fellows as fifty
of the members of the Kenosha Lodge
went to Racine and conferred the de-
grees of the order on class of twenty
seven candidates. The members of
the Kenosha encampment made the trip
on a special car and they were royalty
entertained by the Racine members of
the order The degree work was in
charge of the Kenosha team headed by
Grand Patriarch William Duncan. At
ter the ritualistic work was over the
members Of the Racine encampment en-,
tertained at an informal smoker.
The Kenosha encampment is being
doomed to entertain the state encamp
ment of the Odd Fellows to be held in
June 1912 and a meeting will be held
in Milwaukee in the near future at
which some decision will be reached
asl to the place Of holding the annual
encampment for that year. The Ke-
nosha Odd Fellows are deeply inter
ested and it is certain that Kenosha
will make a good proposition for the
entertainment OF the state Odd Eel
lows Odd Fellowship had one of it's
first organizations in Wisconsin in Ke
nosha and for many years the Keno
sha encampment was one of the strong
est in the state. In the earlier days
several state encampments were held
here. In recent years the Odd Fellows
in Kenosha have been making very
rapid growth and it is expected that
within short time the organization
vii be among the leaders of the frater-
nal organizations Of the city.
The state convention would bring to
Kenosha more than 1000 Odd Fellows
representing nearly every city and
town in the state The local commit
tee will take the matter up with the
business men in the near future and if
the business men are, willing to do
their part to aid in the entertainment
of the delegates it is pretty certain
that the state convention vii be held
here.

The series Of Practical City Prob
lem services was open last night at the
First Congregational church under the
direction Of the Tri Nu club. A large

the following numbers in the series
prove as interesting and profitable as
the first one they will accomplish much
for the benefit of our city. The mu-
steal numbers were very happily rem
dered, beside the familiar hymns and the
chorus numbers so acceptably given.
There were two selections rendered by
members Of the Tri MI club quartet
and duet, solo by Mrs. Theo Nielsen
and selection by the ladies quartet.
After opening exercises the presi-
dent of the club, Herbert Curtis, pre-

MAY HAVE DROWNED IN LAKE
Equipment is Found at the Camp but
Absolutely no Trace of the Two Men
Can be Found and Identity is a Deep
Mystery.

Two fishermen, both of them sup
posed to have been from Kenosha are
supposed to have been drowned in the
lake off the village of Beach on Friday
and people from that village are search
ing the lake shore with a view of find
ing some trace of the missing fishermen.
The men had a, tent camp at what is.
known as the mouth of the Big Dead
creek near Beach and they had been
fishing from this point for some time.
On Thursday they were seen about the
camp but on Friday the camp was de-
serted and notwithstanding the fact
fact that the clothing and personal pro-
perty of the men was still in the tent
nothing could be found of them and
the boat in which they were accustomed
to make trips into the lake was miss
ing. Captain Fountain of the Kenosha
Life Saving Crew when seen this morn
ing stated that he had heard nothing
of the disappearance of the men and
did not know who they were. ~ know
that there is camp at the point in
question said the Captain, "and it
was maintained by some young men
from Kenosha but l supposed that they
were simply out for vacation and not
engaged in the commercial industry of
fishing Efforts to discover the iden-
tity Of the men met with like results
at other fish houses in the Kenosha har-
Dor. 1t is declared that an old man
and younger man who appeared to be
his son had been the occupants of the
tent camp.
Their custom was to take a small
boat and row out into the lake fishing
every day. 1t is claimed that they were
seen going out in the lake on Thursday
morning but that they never returned.
AS the lake was rough on Thursday it
is thought possible that both have been
lost.
The large tent in which they made
their headquarters remains standing.
The spare nets and other tools of the
craft not needed on the boat remain
where they were left when the men
went out into the lake for their daily
trip. Only the men and the boat are
gone.
The men had been in the camp most
OF the winter and they had been accus-
toned to catch pike, suckers and carp
which were shipped to Chicago from
the station at Beach. On the morning
when, they went out into the lake there
was a dense fog over the lake near
Beach and the people of that village
believe that the men lost their way and
that both were drowned Officials in
Kenosha have been asked to make an
effort to discover the identity of the
men. 1t is thought possible that they
might have deserted the camp and re-
turned to Kenosha by lake but such a
trip in a row boat on the day they
disappeared would have been attended
with great hardship.

WILL CONDITIONS STRINGENT
Estate Left is Valued at About $4,000
and is to be Given to the Children
Under Conditions Named by the
Deceased

The will Of the late Hugh MINIS,
one of the well known residents of the
town of Salem, who was found dead in
his chair short time ago, has been
filed for probate in the county court
and the will is one of the most IN
usual documents ever filed in this
county. 1t is unusual on account of
the restrictions it places about the
payment of requests to two daughters
Of the deceased.
The petition for the probate of the
will states that the estate is valued
at $4,000 and Mrs. Isabella Clark, a
daughter of the deceased is named as
executrix of the will. The property
is let entirely to the widow with
provision that after her death it be
divided among the children of Mr..
MINIS. The unusual requests are made
to Mrs. Nellie M. Pierce and Miss EN-
ma MINIS, daughters of the testator.
A bequest of $500 is made to Mrs.
Pierce with the understanding that it
is to be held in trust by the Northwest
ern Loan and Trust company, she re-
ceiving the income of it. It provides,
however, that it shall become her prop
erty absolutely should she secure di
vorce from her husband, Charles Pierce,
or should the husband die before Mrs.
Pierce. The provision in regard to the
daughter, Emma MINIS, is similar. It
provides that she shall have a portion
Of the real estate and personal prop
erty, but a later paragraph provides
that this shall be only life interest
unless she shall marry and be divorced
or become widow by the death of her
husband. If the conditions named in
regard to the two daughters are not
met it is the order of the testator that
the property assigned to them shall go
be divided among the other children.
The will is one Of the most unusual
ever filed for probate in the county
court, but it is said that its provisions
are satisfactory to the heirs and that
it will not be contested.
Under the will the following requests
are made. William A. MINIS, real
os+o+o ond ID mn IN poono1y En,,,,,
MINIS, real estate and personal prop
erty. Mrs. Isabella Clark, $4,000. Mrs.
Edith Munson, $4,000. Mrs. Nellie NJ.
Pierce, $1,500 All of the children are
named as residuary legatees to the
estate, the part not divided by the will
to be divided evenly among them.
