COAL MOVES SLOWLY.
Dealers in s'Black Diamonds" Have
Dullest> Time Of the Year.

Dealers in "Black Diamonds Have
Dullest> Time Of the Year.
The Black Diamond, the official or
gan of the coal trade, in it's issue just
out said:
1t seems that the coal business of
the nation has just about reached a
climax of the dull period. Prophecy is
uncertain and unsatisfactory, to be
sure, but these are the indications at
the minute. The extreme depression
which has spread over the trade could
be nothing more than the outcome of a
depression in business which has been
more extensive than good many peo-
pie have been willing to admit. When
business begins to improve the coal
trade also may be expected to improve.
The reports as far as we have OBJ
tanned Them indicate that the coal bus
mess of the nation has been less than
so per cent of what is normal at this
time of the year. Indiana and Illinois
have been operating at less than IS per
cent; Ohio has been running at less
than so per cent, and western Pennsyl-
Tania has been running recently at less
than 45 per cent. Exact returns are
not available from other parts of the
coal produced, but our information
is that these facts are just about indi-
cative Of general results. Improved
conditions, therefore, are improvements
from state of practical zero, and that
fact must be taken into consideration
in any comments that are made on pres
emit market conditions.
Nevertheless, it does seem that bus
mess is/decidedly upon the mend. The
iron and steel interests are receiving
inquiries, orders and even contracts
for the last half of the year. Some OBJ
servers have reasoned it out that this
is due to the fact that the railroads,
having no longer any incentive to Gre
ate bearish conditions, now that the
rate question is settled, are beginning
to buy. With these big consumers of
all sorts of material in the market, it
is reasonable to suppose that the wheels
of industry will begin to reyolve again.
Unquestionably there is better de-
mand for iron and steel products and
this is being reflected in the coke mar
ket. Prices Of coke have grown strong
er within the last two weeks and pro-
ducers are holding firm for goodjprices
for the last half Of the year
This condition, together with the
realization that something must be done
for their own salvation, has strength
ened the position of the coal operators.

DECLINES FAT OFFICE.
G. II. Kellernan, Formerly of Kenosha
Would Not Accept Big Office.

Charles H. Kellerman, formerly of
Kenosha, has thrown a bomb into the
politicians of the city Of Chicago by
declining to accept one of the latest
plums in the gift Of the new Harrison
administration in that city. Friday
evening Mayor Harrison named the
former Kenosha man as purchasing
agent for the city of Chicago at a
salary of $4,000 a year and the mem
bers of the " Kitchen cabinet in SEES
sion with the mayor felt a shock al
most as great as the explosion Of a
powder mill when Kellerman called
them up by telephone and refused to
accept the position. The former Ke-
nosha man had been one of the most
active workers in the Harrison cam
paign and it was declared that he
was slated to be one of the main men
in the administration. Kellerman is
at the present time one of the election
commissioners of the city of Chicago
and is also president Of the United
Societies. In the Office Of election com
missioner he receives a salary of $4,000.
In refusing to accept the post offered
by Mayor Harrison, Mr.. KelIe1man
stated that he had planned to take a
trip to Europe with Judge Owen and
that he did not care to change his
plans ever for so good a four year
job under the new administration.

KENosEA BOUND CREW LOST.
Six Members of the Grew of Schooner
Ottawa Drowned Near Algoma.

SIX Members of the Crew of Schooner
Ottawa Drowned Near Algoma.
Captain Claus Weberg of Marinette
and six members Of the crew of the
schooner "Ottawa' bound from Man
istique, Mich, to Kenosha, were
drowned off Algoma early Thursday
morning. The schooner was loaded
with tan bark, but it did not sink
and only portion of the deck load
was carried away by the storm. The
schooner struck the Stoney Creek reef
early in the morning while the mem
bers OF the crew were at breakfast.
Believing that the schooner was sink
4ng the captain and crew took to their
gasoline launch which was capsized
and all of them were lost A list of
the members of the crew has not been
found. It is probable that all of them
are known to lake marine men in
Kenosha. The Ottawa was formerly
owned in Racine. 1t was one of the
oldest boats on the lake and it is
thought that for this reason the mem
bers of the crew feared that it would
not weather the gale.

ARE SEEKING NEW LAW.
Waukegan Fishermen Appeal to the
Legislature to Prevent Enroachments. I

Driven to the point of appealing to
the state government through the en-
crOachments of Wisconsin and Mich.
gan fishermen in years past, Wauke
gan fishermen have drafted bill which
if it passes the Legislature will reduce
the troubles Of the Waukegan men to
minimum.
For many years past as soon as the
law in Wisconsin declared a closed
season against all fishermen, tugs from
the haTbors at Racine, Kenosha and
Milwaukee have gone to Waukegan and
have been allowed to fish out of the
ports of Illinois, especially Waukegan
without even so much as "by you1
leave" For a long time there were
plenty of fish for all, the stock in the
lake being so large that there wa;
small danger of depletion, and there
was little protest which arose from the
local fishermen.
Now, however, conditions have
changed, and the stock of fish in Lake
Michigan has become so low that even
the few fishermen from Waukegar
hardly catch enough in their nets
to make the pursuit of fish worth
the time and labor spent. This
year, conditions have been especial
ly bad, and when on October Is
Wisconsin. declared closed season
the men going down 10 Waukegan
and starting to fish from that port
there was loud cry of protest which
arose from the fishermen there.
There was little to be done in the
matter, as all game laws which have
passed the legislature in years have
been declared as contrary to the con
stitution, according to the opinion OF
Attorney General Stead, which was
rendered recently. Therefore Illinois
fish are left without any protection
not even as much as, closed season
being in effect there. The result OF
this lack of proper legislation is evi
dent. The swarm of fishermen who
(, have come into the ports there have de
pleted the stock of fish in the lake t.
a marked degree. Z,

UNANIMOUS FOR BILL
Assembly Committee Reports
Fayorably On Bill for
County Sanatoria
WILL Be PASSED IN A WEEK

The Youmans bill, giving counties
the authority to erect and maintain
sanatoria for the care Of advanced cas-
es of tuberculosis, has been unanimous
ly reported to the assembly for passage
by the assembly committee on CHART
able and penal institutions.
The bill reported is substitute for
the measure originally introduced, al
though changes made are of minor or
technical Importance. The measure
contains the two chief features Of the
original bill, the two points which
count-state subsidy to the extent Of
So per week per patient up to $4,000
per year, and the necessary authority
for counties to erect such institutions.
The bill now will go to the finance
committee of the assembly because of
its clause appropriating money.
The Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis as
ISOLATION is planning an exhibit in the
state capitol as a means Of showing
members of the legislature the neces-
sity of the care of the advanced case
of tuberculosis in county institutions
if the state is to make any Roadway
against the white plague.
Charts to be exhibited at Madison
also show the amount of money the
state loses each year as a result of
deaths from tuberculosis, the number
of people in the state suffering with
the disease, and other figures. One of
the most interesting charts is a gam
bling wheel which spins and shows the
relative chances Of a person being a
tuberculosis victim The chart reads:

COUNCIL CHAMBER IS ADMIRED
Tax Payers of the City Almost With
out Exception Declare That City Has
It's Moneys Worth in New Building
Opened Saturday.

The tax payers of the city Of Ken
osha placed their seal Of approval on
the new City Hall Saturday afternoon
and Sunday when from ten to fifteen
thousand people visited the new build
ing, inspecting it from the steel lock
upon the ground floor to the magnif-
cent council chamber at the end of the
second floor corridor. They came from
all parts of the city bringing the wives
and children with them and the Mayor,
city officials and the members of the
Common Council held perpetual re
ception from the time the building was
thrown open On Saturday noon until it
was closed up and turned over to the
cleaners at ten o CLOCK Sunday night.
There was no censure for the council
or the committees in charge Of the
building and the sentiment expressed
by all was that for one time the city
of Kenosha had a public Improvement
for which the city had received value
for every dollar expended. Experts in
the building line declared that the
building could not be improved on for
the money which had been spent.
The building was decorated with flow
ers for the two days of inspection and
nothing was omitted to give the PEG
pie of the city the chance to make the
fullest possible inspection. There were
no closed doors and everything was OPP
ened from the motor room in the base
ment to the vault of the City Treasur-
er.
The general arrangements of the of
fees, and the furnishings met with the
approval Of all but the council chamber
with its perfect appointments com
manded the wonder of the people Of the
city and people from other cities who
inspected the building declared that
the city of Kenosha has the best coun-
Gil chamber to be found in Wisconsin,
not excluding the city Of Milwaukee.
Experts examined the ventilating and
heating systems while the vacuum
cleaning system the most complete in
any building in the city was the most
interesting feature of the new building
for the women of the city.
for the reception of the various officials
and before the end Of the week it is
expected that every department of the
city will be housed in the new munici-
pal home. There will be no more bills
for extra rent for offices and it iS~plan-
ned to have every official of the city
available to the people at their own
city hall. The city council will hold
it's first meeting in the budding this
evening and it is expected that the
work of moving all of the city Offices
will be completed before the end of
the present week. It is planned to
have everything in permanent shape be-
fore the dedication on next SATURDAY.
People took q great interest in the
building on Saturday and Sunday and
it is thought that the opening of the
building will result in the general pub
lie taking great deal more interest
in the general work of the council and
other officials.

Police Asked to Look for F. j. MAIDEN,
80 Years Old, Missing From Zion.

The police of Kenosha have received
a message from the police at Zion City
asking that they make an effort to find
some trace of f. J. MAIDEN, so years of
age who has been missing from Zion
City since Friday afternoon. The
old man is feeble and his relatives fear
that he may be wandering about the
country and that he viii suffer severe
ly from the rigors of the weather. He
walked out of Zion City just after noon
Friday and although a search was
started couple of hours later no
trace of him has as yet been found.
MAIDEN has been prominent, in Zion, is
well dressed, but is not supposed to

NO APPROPRIATIONS THIS YEAR
Present Session of Congress Will Not
be Asked to Make Any New Pro
visions for Taking Care of Rivers
and Harbors.

1T see no reason why the policy OF
the last two years, in the preparation
of the river and harbor appropriation
bill, should be changed" said the new
chairman of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee, Representative Stephen M
Sparkman OF Florida, who for sixteen
yeas has been member of Congress
and for fourteen years a member OF
the commit ee of which he now is the
ruling head, through the mutations OF
politics.
'We have embarked upon the policy
of annual river and harbor bills, to
which I am committed and which ]
think is of SO much Importance in riv-
er and harbor work that I would not
like to see it changed
~ think the various projects here
tofore adopted and to be adopted in
the future, can be better taken care of
under the policy of annual appropria-
tions than any other. / think it would
not be wise to return to the old plan
of biennial or triennial bills, out of
which grew the piecemeal procedure
of the past.
/ "We have already entered upon
plans for river and harbor improve
ments upon the idea that we are to have
annual bills for the improvement of
quite number of large projects and
many smaller ones. Among the larger
are the Mississippi, the Ohio and the
Missouri rivers, and if no change is
made and we continue to have annual
bills, as we should and will. these will
all be completed within varying lengths
Of time from twelve to eighteen years
Along with these projects are quite a
number of harbor projects, which are
dependent upon this feature of annual
bills for their completion within given
periods of time.
II think the country is to be cGn-
graduated on the personnel Of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors, nearly
all of the older members, men thorough
ly Versed in river and haFbor work, be-
ing retained while the new members
are equally able and efficient and great
ly interested in that kind Of work.
"Another gratifying feature is, that
the membership is so we'll distributed
throughout the country, each great sec
ton being represented on the commit
tee, which to me is an earnest Of the
national idea which should prevail IN
a committee dealing with all parts of
our common country looking to the
comprehensive improvement of our
great natural highways of trade and
commerce.
''There will be no river and harbor
legislation at this session Of Congress.
The committee, however, or some part
of it will likely pay visits to various
sections Of the country for the purpose
of inspecting work under way and pro-
posed projects, but just what sections
will be thus visited, has not yet been
determined, and will not be for some
little time to come.
''There will very likely be. hearings
during the present session, certainly
there will be if anyone wishes to be
heard, as the committee will seek to
get all information for use in the pre-
paration of bills

NONE THIS TIME
FROM HAWAII

No officers from Hawaii are to be
detailed this year to attend the school
of musketry practice at Monterey, Cal
ifornia, as heretofore. The chief reason
for this order, just received at local
army headquarters, is that the officers
cannot well be spared for the time
which would be required
Formerly two officers from each regi-
ment of mobile troops have been order
ed to attend the musetry practice
officers of the Western Army Division,
and there will doubtless be some dis
appointment that the Hawaiian district
has been left out this year. Had the
detail been sent, it would have gone
to the Coast by the next transport
due to leave here October 5th.
1t was stated at Headquarters this
morning that shortage of officers made
it necessary to issue the order, it be-
ing amost impossible for the trip to be
made in less than two months, taking
into consideration that some leave OF
absence must practically always be
extended.

OFFICERS ARE ACTIVE
OVER SOLDIER RIOT

Local army circles are very consid
erably perturbed over the row among
a crowd of Fort Ruger soldiers which
occurred on street cars on the Waia-
lac line last Friday night. At district
headquarters this morning MaiOr
Campbell, adjutant general, stated
that the matter was considered as one
rejecting upon the whole army estab
lishment in Hawaii.
'At the same time said Major
Campbell, the trouble was greatly
magnifed in the newspaper report
published the morning following. In.
stead of eighty men being involved
there were not over twenty-five, at
the maximum Then a statement that

ton. Recruits from tie United States
would then be sent direct to the
islands, there to serve out their terms,

in a large saving in transportation,
but it would keep a distinct organiza-

The other big plan expected to re-
