NEED MORE SAFEGUARDS.
New Laws for Government of Fraternal
Societies Fail to Bring Remedy.

The enforcement of new statutes to
Safeguard fraternal insurance members
against bad management of the socie-
tiles, inadequate rates and high finance
has brought to Chicago headquarters
storms Of protest, presumably from the
heads of societies most in need of safe
guards, Notwithstanding that the new
laws were recommended by the Nation
al Convention of Insurance Commits
sioners.
The responsible and solvent societies
through their declarations, the National
FTaternal Congress and Associated
Fraternities of America have aided the
efforts of the state insurance depart
ments and rapidly are adjusting them
selves to the requirements of the new
laws. A mimic rebellion has broken
out among the fraternal officials who
dread the effects of the state supervi.
sion of their finances and affairs. One
group has organized for war under the
name of "The Federated Fraternities
OF America and solemnly declared
that restrictions upon the free and I'M
hampered control Of the funds of fra
ternal insurance socities were danger
Gus and in explanation eff their hostili-
ty declare the laws are educ to the
effort of the old line insurance com
panies. This particular federation
will clamor for the repeal of the emo
bile bill, - drawn by the insurance COM
missioners convention and endorsed by
the Older ffaternal declarations, in the
states where it was enacted into law.
Leaders of fraternal insurance system
disclaim any connection between the
rebelllous societies and those bodies
which are generally recognized by the
state insurance departments as truly
representative Of the fraternal bene-
ficiary movement. Fakes is the
way some of the societies are charae-
terized whose heads are loudest in their
protest against supervision by public
officials.

erous that complaints are being receiv-
ed from all parts of the city. The
thieves usually work before daylight
| in the morning and IN many cases the
thefts are not discovered until several
days after the money is taken. For the
most part tie amounts taken are small
but it is claimed that the total IS con
siderable.

ENDS PLANS FOR HOME TRIP
Man Had planned to Leave for His
Home in Belgium Week from Next
Saturday and was Planning to Bring
His Family Here

Plans for family reunion In Bel
GUM were shattered on Thursday night
when CARMEL Degroeve was struck by
freight train on the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul road near the village
of Somers and sustained injuries from
which he died an hour later. The man
was with his brother, julius Degroeye,
at the time of the accident and the
brother also had a narrow escape from
being ground to death under the wheels
of the train.
A week from next Sunday the dead
man had planned to leave New York
for his old home in Belgium with a
view of bringing his wife and two
children to this country. Only a few
days ago he sent $500, his savings of
years to his wife in order that she
might complete plans for coming to this
country.
Degroeve and his brother with, two
other brothers have for some time been
employed as beet workers in the town
of Somers and they made their home in
an old shack mile south Of the village
Of Somers. The men had worked late
on Thursday afternoon and after they
had supper they went to the village to
get some provisions for the house. Just
after eight o'clock they started for
home and decided to save time by cut
ting across the fields to the shack.
They were forced to cross the main
line Of the railway on their way home
and when they reached the track a pas
senger train was coming up from the
south. The men stood and watched the
train pass and then rushed across the
track in order to lose no time getting
home. A freight train was coming up
from The north and the two men went
directly in front Of the engine. Car
miel Degroeve was slow in crossing the
track and the engine struck him throw
ing him sixty feet from the track. The
brother and members of the train crew
picked up the injured man and carried
him to the shack and physician was
summoned. The injured man had suf-
fered fractured skull and he died a
few minutes after the physician arrived.
Coroner III. j. Stanton was notified
of the fatal accident and the body of
the dead man was brought to Kenosha
and this morning a jury was called to
hold an inquest. The hearing was adj
joufned until such a time as the mem
bers of the train crew can be brought
to Kenosha.
Degroeve was 43 years of age and
he had been living in this country for
some time. He was well liked by the
people in the neighborhood| of the vii
lage of Somers. 1t is planned to hold
the funeral on Saturday and the body
will be buried at one of the Catholic
cemeteries about Kenosha Brothers of
the dead man today sent cable to the
widow in Belgium notifying her of the
death of her husband

NOW EMPLOYEES CVER1100 men
Company Anxious to Get Out Of Chi
cago and it is Said that Officials are
Favorable to Kenosha as the New
Location

Kenosha is being considered as a
possible location for one of the biggest
furniture and school supply houses in
the country and the Kenosha Industrial
Association in few days will take
steps to get proposition from the A.
H. Andrews Company of Chicago.
This company, one of the largest in
the west and in the country, is now
seeking a place to remove its plant
from Chicago and members of the Of
| fetal board of the association have
been given to understand that the Of
ficials of the company look fayorably
on Kenosha as a place for locating a
new and greater plant. The promotion
of this plant will be big proposition
as the company has been established
for more than fifty years and it now
employs more than eleven hundred men.
The matter has not gone far enough
to reach the proposition stage, but it
is understood that the company is look
ing for a suitable location for a great
plant rather than for bonuses. The
company is financially sound and it's
business extends to all parts of the
country. For years Kenosha has been
a big customer of the Andrews COM
pany.
The company would require ten acres
of land for the location of the plant
and it would possibly demand moving
expenses amounting to $4,000.
Officials Of the industrial association
have been dreaming of new indus
trial center for the city at the north
west end of Rice Park or along the
line of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway Company on land now
owned by the Balm estate and the man
ager of the estate has been asked to
give prices for large tract Of land in
that section. This land is not inside
the city limits, but it would be an easy
matter to annex it and as the North
western Railway Company now has
switches constructed to it the matter
of furnishing trackage could be arrang-
| ed at minimum cost. 1t would be an
easy matter to provide sewers for the
property and these could all be made
q part of the present city sewer system.
The matter of sewers is proving big
draw back to the site of the McCom-
Der, Whyte Company and with a view
of getting away from this difficulty
petition was put in circulation on
Wednesday morning providing for the
annexation of a big territory to the
north of the city limits. It had been
originally planned TO have a sewer
from the plant run into Pike Creek Just
east of the ST. George cemetery, but
owners of property in the neighborhood
have raised q protest against such a
plan and TIE promoters of the factory
will probably be forced to annex the
property in order to get proper sewer
facilities. The actual work OF build
i ing the new factory on the tract has
not been started, but it is ..eslared
that it is still the plan of the company
to have the factory ready for opera
ton by the first of March next year.

Suffrage Leaders in the State
Plan for State Wide Cam
paign to Further Cause
PROMINENT SPEAKERS COMING

A plan for Wisconsin suffragists to
follow in the votes for women cam
paign in this state was outlined in a
brief interview by Mrs. Elizabeth
Lowe Watson, president of the Cali
fornia Woman Suffrage Association
who returned on Friday to Milwaukee
from Evanston, Ill.
"The first and most important thing
to do is to organize according to as
sembly districts and political pre-
cincts. A house to house canvass
should be made with literature, leaving
leaflets where no one is at home.
If you don't see the men, get the ears
of the women and interest them. 1t
takes tactful, not eccentric women, to
do this work, which is really drudg-
cry. We paid some SO much an hour,
as manyycould not afford to give their
services for nothing. (
"Another very important step is to
get the sympathy of the press. APP
point press committee and head it
with capable woman who under
stands newspaper work. We had a
newspaper woman at the head of our
committee who appointed press chair
man at every county. Thus every
new spaper was reached. Write to every
newspaper and find out its attitude
toward the suffrage movement under
standing that they want only that
which is of interest to the public for
publication the live, fresh, original
matter, not the stereotype.
'sThe headquarters should in charge
of a woman who should have suff-
rage papers at her fingers ends. I
want to emphasize the Importance of
literature and leaflets of local char
acter. Always use the short argument.
My hobby is to settle all difficulties
by arbitration. 1t is a sign of life
where there are several organizations
and it is also important to reach the
young. Some of the most effective
work for suffrage in California was
done by Catholics
During her visit in Evanston Mrs.
Watson was entertained by the Po-
litical Equality League Of Chicago and
gave a short talk before the Chicago
Woman S club, Mrs. L. w. Parker,
Evanston, gave reception on Thurs
day in her honor. She left Sat
urday night for Evanston and from
there will go to Cleveland today return
ing to California by way of Portland,
Oregon.
Jane Adams, called the greatest
American woman of today, will come
to Wisconsin in January to talk Oh
suffrage under the auspices OF the
Milwaukee branch, Wisconsin Wom-
an IS Suffrage Association
This was decided at meeting of
the branch last week in the Hotel
Pfster. A committee was formed
with Miss Helen Sherman as chair.
man to arrange, if possible, for an es.
say contest in the public schools, to
which all high school scholars will be
eligible. Money prizes viii be offered.
This contest will probably oper in De-
cember.
Eight new members were added to
the roster of the Milwaukee association.
DR.. Gwendolyn Willis of Milwaukee,

president of the branch presided.
