State Legislator Wants Can
didates to Report Itemized
Campaign Expenses
INTRODUCES STRICT MEASURE

Among the bills introduced at this
session of the state legislature relat-
ing to corrupt practices and election
methods is one by Assemblyman Clark,
which comes near to preventing can
didate for office from drawing his
breath without danger of being fined
for not reporting it to the county clerk
or the secretary of state.
The bill would make every candidate
report all it's receipts and disburse-
ments during a campaign twice each
month.
1t even goes further than that, and
provides that any person who shall
within twelve months make any dis
bursements for political purposes,
amounting in the aggregate to $50,
shall file written statement regard
ing where the money went to the coun-
ty clerk If the $50 is in lump sum
he must get the statement in within
forty -elght hours.
There is the provision now so pop
ular among election reformers, that
very article intended to influence votes
for any candidate must be put under
the head Of ''paid advertisement, - and
give the name Of the person authoriz-
inc tha notification
Candidates will have to use extreme
caution lest they get in trouble with
the sheriff. They can not buy cigar,
a drink or a meal for any one lest
thereby they corrupt" the recipient.
Any such purchase it is stated, shall
be taken as "prima facie" evidence
that it was made for the purpose of
influencing the person treated to sup
port the buyer.
!, Any one violating the provisions of
the law will not be permitted to re-
main on the ticket if nominated, or
will not be permitted to take Office if
elected.

The legislature of New York last
year appointed a committee of it's mem
bers to investigate and report on fire
insurance conditions in the state. This
committee made public it's report this
year, after lengthy hearings and care
full consideration. On the matter of
fire waste and fire prevention this off.
cial body said:
Important as it is to have equitable
rates in fire insurance and important
as it is that the expense of the bust.
ness should be kept within reasonable
limits, SO far as practical results are
concerned the problem of fire waste is
immensely more important. On the
whole, rates in fire insurance arc fair
ly equitable, probably more so than
railroad rates, for instance, and the
tendency is strongly toward still great
er equity. So far as. expense is con
cerned it is impossible to be very hope
full of much reduction; no one believes
that it could be more than a few mil
lion dollars a year. Against that we
have the certainty that the fire loss
could be at least cut In two, that there
could not only be saving of one hun
dred million dollars a year in property
now destroyed, but nearly as much
more in insurance expenses, thousands
of lives saved and world of worry
and suffering.
The ire loss of this country averages
nearly two hundred and fifty millions
year and is increasing; this is about
$4,000 an hour or $500 a minute, year
in and year out. To this must be add
ed at least the same additional amount
for the maintenance of fire departments
and nearly as much more FIR the ex-
pense of conducting the insurance bust
ness; altogether in the neighborhood of
seven hundred and fifty million dollars
year of expenditure because of des-
tructive fires. That is, fire costs us
each year more than the value of the
cotton crop, and not only that, but
along with this economic loss goes a
frightful and horrible loss of life.
thousands of lives a year.

HAD A JOLLY TIME
Members of the Royal Lea
que Celebrate Charter
Members Night"
SUPREME ARCHON A SPEAKER

Members of the Royal League in
Kenosha held one of the most notable
meetings in the history Of the Coun-
Gil on Thursday evening when there
was an observance of "Charter Mem
ber's Night" More than a hundred
and fifty of the members of the Ken
osha Council together with large
number of visitors were present and
the evening proved a very enjoyable
one. Of the twelve charter members
of the council still residing in Kenosha
six were present and took part in the
work. Among the distinguished Wis
itors were Supreme Archon w. E. Hyde
of Chicago, Advisory Archon G. E.
Krumm Of Manitowoc and Advisory
Scribe Tom V. Daily Of Milwaukee.
After the regular meeting of the order
there was an old fashioned love feast
at which short speeches were made by
Supreme Archcn Hyde and other Wis
itors. One of the most pleasant feat
ures of the evening was the manner
in which retiring Advisory Archon DR..
G. G. Ryan of the Kenosha Council
was honored by the league. Archon
Krumm who succeeded the Kenosha
man in few well chosen words in
which he paid tribute to the faithful
ness of DR.. Ryan in office presented him
with a handsome cut glass water set.
DR.. Ryan was taken completely by sur
prise but he made short talk in which
he thanked the members of the order
not only for the splendid present but
also for the uniform courtesy that the
members had shown him during his
term of Office.
After The meeting was over lunch
con was served and the evening closed
with an informal smoker.

CABBAGE GROWERS SUFFER Loss
Will Let Crop Rot Before They VIII
Accept $3.50 Per Ton Now offered.

Cabbage growers of Racine and
Kenosha county did not realize the
amount of money they expected to on
last season s crop and the PROBABLE
ity is that less acreage will be devot-
ed to the growing of cabbage this year
than has been devoted for many years.
Some of the growers who have orders
to ship cabbage refuse to accept the
orders because of the low market prize
es and they declare that they will let
the cabbage rot before they will cart
it to cars and load it at the prevailing
prices.
The growers who have tons of excel
lent stock il the storage sheds are now
being offered $3.50 ton on board cars.
In previous years during the months of
February and March cabbage raised in
this district would bring from $50 to
$45 a ton and as high as $50 has been
paid. The commission merchants in
all cities seem to be holding down the
prices because of the large quantity of
cabbage being held in storage. If no
shipments are made it is possible that
prices will soar. When the cabbage
crop is harvested from So to So q tom
is paid and from that time on until
cabbage is received in the northern
markets from the Texas fields, the
prices soar but this year the prices
have kept down lower than ever befors
and the prices are but little better
than paid WIN the crops are harvested.
The growers have large sums of money
tied up in cabbage in storage and all
would lose money even if they accept
ed the price now being offered.

GET WOEHR AT TT. WAYNE.
Man Who Wanted to Come Back to
Answer Abandonment Charge.

Henry Woehr the Kenosha man who
a short time ago telegraphed Judge
Randall that he had surrendered him
self to the police of New York City to
answer charges Of abandonment against
him in Kenosha is now at TT. Wayne,
Ind, on his way home but it is not
probable that he will be brought here
to answer criminal charge. He how
ever, was served with divorce papers
at TT. Wayne and his wife Margaret
Woehr has filed a suit for divorce
against him in the Circuit court. In
her complaint Mrs Woehr charges him
with failure to provide and abandon
ment and demands the custody of the
one child of the union. 1t is not prob
able that the police will seek to return
Woehr and it is expected that the de-
cree Of divorce Will be granted by
default at the March term Of the Cir
cult court.

UNDER PATRONAGE OF STATE
Special Meeting of County Board is
Being Suggested in Order to Give
County a Chance to Get One Of the
State Schools.

Farmers throughout the county are
urging members of the county board to
take some action to secure an Agri-
cultural school for Kenosha county I'M
der the patronage of the state. At the
last session of the legislature provis-
ion was made for the establishing of
ten agricultural schools in the state
with the understanding that the cost
of these schools was to be largely paid
by the state. Already six counties in
the state have secured the location of
one of these schools. Racine county is
the last county to seek one of the
schools and a special session Of the
County Board of Racine county is to
be held the latter part of this month
at which the final arrangements for
the opening of the school will be made.
Farmers attending the annual Farm
ers' Institute at New Munster on
Thursday and today were very much in
favor of such school for the county
and the institute conductors urged
that the matter be taken up by the
county board at the desire of the farm
ers. The county board recently voted
favorably on the opening of school
for teachers under the patronage and
with the aid of the state and it would
be an easy matter to combine the two
schools Agriculture is now being
taught in the schools of Kenosha coun-
ty but it is certain that greater in
terest in farms and farming could be
secured If the children from the rural
districts were given a chance to at
tend a school designed especially to
give Instructions along agricultural
lines. If Kenosha is to have one of
the schools action must be taken at
an early date as several other coun-
ties in the state are now planning to
apply for the location of one of these
schools. 1t would be necessary to call
a special meeting of the county board
to act in the matter and even if this
action were favorable it would be i'm
possible to make any appropriation for
the school until the November session
when the tax levy is made. County
Superintendent Kerwin is doing all in
his power to pave the way for the
opening Of the school for teachers and
it is probable that the location of the
site and the appropriation for the
proper building will be made at the
November session. The question of an
agricultural school is a big one but the
farmers of the county are anxious that
Kenosha county shall not be behind
the other counties in the state in avail
ing itself of such benefits as the state
may have to offer for the education of
the children.

Judge Randall Considers Evidence too
Slack to Hold Man for Arson.
George Pine will not be tried on a
charge of setting fire to the home of
Walter Troeger in Kenosna Heights on
Jan. 5 as when Judge Randall heard
the evidence against Pine on Thursday
afternoon he held that it was not suf-
fcient to hold him for trial and the de-
PENDANT was discharged There were
number of suspicious facts in connec-
ton with the case and it was shown
that Pine had been seen in the neigh
borhood of the house both before and
after the fire was discovered but none
of the witnesses gave evidence that
would connect the defendant with the
ire. Pine left for Chicago Immediately
after the hearing. He is now living
with his wife in that city.

EYRE PROVES SLIPPERY.
Colorado Officials Spurred on by Re
ward Fail to Locate Missing Man.


It is feared that A. B. Eyre the mis-
sing treasurer of the Carpenters I'm
ion may have again slipped out of
reach of the officials for although the
police and the sheriff have waited anx-
iously for some report of his capture
no word has been received from the
officials of the Colorado counties to
whom the offer of reward Of fifty dol
lars for the arrest of Eyre was wired
ON Wednesday. Sheriff Stahl and Chief
of Police O'Hare are getting busy and
sending out letters to towns in Colo
RADIO and to other states where it is
thought possible Eyre may show up in
his effort to keep out of reach of the
Colorado officers. The Kenosha county
officials still feel certain that Eyre will
be located and arrested within few
days.

A barn on the Van Ingen farm south
of Kenosha was completely destroyed
by fire late Wednesday afternoon. The
barn had been leased by julius Lar
sen and was filed with hay. Larsen
had insuranc to the amount of $500
which covered the loss on the contents.
The barn was not insured and the loss
on it is placed at $500. Sparks from
an engine on the railway track near
the farm are supposed to have set fire
to the grass and the flames were later
communicated to the barn.

WIFE ASKS DIVORCE
Mrs. Alma Koch Files Bill
forDiyorce AgainstDefend-
ant in Sensational Case
DECLARES HUSBAND A FELON

An echo Of the sensational Koch case
was heard in the Municipal court this
morning when Alma Koch the child
bride of Albert w. Koch who was al
legged to have been terribly wronged
by her husband started an action de-
flnanding an absolute divorce from Koch
who is now serving term of three
years in the state prison at Waupun
after having been convicted of selling
his wife into "white slavery The
complaint states that Mrs. Koch is a
minor and the action is brought In the
name of Robert Verne Baker who was
named as guardian ad Item for the
young woman for the purpose of start
ing the action for divorce. In the
complaint the young woman does not
tell any of the sordid story which she
told DIT the time Of the conviction of
her husband In the Municipal court
but simply recites the fact that the
husband is now serving a term of three
years in prison after having been con-
victed of felony. Under the Wis
eonsin law this is sufficient cause for
an absolute divorce. Since the husband
was taken to the state prison Mrs.
Koch has been making her home with
her father. It is certain that no at
tempt will be made to contest the di-
vorce. In the complaint the wife asks
for all the personal property of Koch
which is alleged to have been of little
value. It is claimed that Mrs. Koch
has not heard from her husband since
he was taken to prison.

THIEF GETS PURSE
OF MINISTER'S WIFE

There is usually a small army of
pickpockets and petty thieves follow
ing along with a circus for which
the circus is not responsible and is
powerless to prevent. That the Sells
Floto circus is no exception in this
regard was attested as early as 10
O'Clock this morning and the police
believe that by night number OF
other losses will be reported.
Mrs. Nathan Evans, wife Of the
pastor Of the First Methodist church,
was the first victim to report loss.
She went to the postoffice between
$3.50 and 10 and placed her hand bag
on the desk in that building while she
unlocked her mail box. When she
picked it up again, she missed her
purse which coptained a dollar and
a check for ten dollars. She noticed
a stranger standing at the desk, and,
thinking her purse might have been
covered under the papers which he
was perusing, reported her loss to
him. He disregarded her inquiries
entirely and, when Mrs. Evans went
to notify the police, he disappeared.
Payment on the check was stopped
Immediately, however. and the thief
was ill-paid for his risk.
