GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS NOW
CONFER WITH LABOR LEADERS
TO PUT DOWN LAWLESSNESS

ton, said to the United Press, today:
The present deplOra BILE unrest is
the result of years of injustice in the
courts of law and the workshops. Our
people are reused to the wrongs to
which they have been subjected. 1t
is but another evidence that the OPP
pressed are turning against their OPP
preSSors, a movement which recent
events have indicated has been pro-
crossing rapidly for some time.
1.-The situation throughout England
requires the most careful handling by
the authorities. Unnecessary forces
may mean retaliation by force.
The people should approve of the
strikers and they should support it,
TROOPS CHARGE MODS.
Liverpool, Aug. 15.-Continued
fighting between the troops and mobs
of "Hooligans" keep the lower dis
tricts of the city in terror Five thou
sand troops are in service clearing the
streets and early today they had to
fire to dispense the mobs. General
Wood first tried to dispense the riot
ers by a series of bayonet charges but
in the narrow streets the soldiers
fighting was at its worse, and the or
der to fire was given. Several volleys
fired over the heads of the rioters
caused them to give way and scatter.
During a charge by the troops 1t
was discovered that the offices of the
Shipowners' Federation had been
fired. The mob wedged itself So
tightly in the streets that flremen
could not get to the building. Sew
eral other fires. which the police de-
clare were of incendiary origin, were
eXtinguished.
Union Leader Tom Nom, today,
declares that, as a result of $4,000
men locked out on the docks and I'M
less the shipowners come to an agree
ment before night, all the freight
handlers and teamsters here will be
ollled out, adding $4,000 to the ranks
of the strikers. Six soldiers and two
policemen were injured in today's
fighting. A number of rioters were
struck down with batons and bayo-
nets and they were carried off by
their comrades.
Railroad employees are anticipating
general strike order and all freight
handlers, teamsters and porters ex-
pect that they will be ordered out,
according to the strike leaders

called the alderman to order, demand
ing that he confine himself to the
question and to desist from making
personalities and injecting politics.
Alderman King with little regard for
parliamentary law or respect for the
presiding officer continued speaking,
but the sounding of the mayors gavel
several times stopped his words. The
alderman, holding the report of the
committee majestically before him,
read several lines in which the dere-
LECTION of the city engineer was speci-
fed.
This concluded the debate, and a
yea and nay vote was taken as not
ed above

GOING TO GREEN BAY
Kenosha Lodge of Elks to
Have Strong Delegation
at State Convention
CHARTER PULLMAN SLEEPERS

The Kenosha Lodge of Elks is plan
ming to send large delegation of
the members Of the lodge to the annu-
al state convention of the order to be
held at Green Bay the first week in
June and the delegation is now being
organized by committee composed
Of Exalted Ruler T. M. Mathews and
Past Exalted Rulers Charles H. Con
normann and John I'll. Kehlor. It is
planned to make the delegation going
to Green Bay the largest delegation
from Kenosha that ever attended a
state reunion. The committee is hope
full that at least fifty members of
the Kenosha lodge will make the trip
which is to be decidedly attractive
one. The Racine lodge has invited the
Kenosha lodge to join with it in MAX
ing the trip to Green Bay and it is pro-
posed to secure number of Pullman
sleepers to take care of the delegates
of the two lodges. AS the department
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic will be held at Green Bay at
the same time. as the state meeting of
the Elks it is expected that hotel ac-
commodations will be rather limited
and it is proposed to have the Racine
and Kenosha Elks occupy the sleepers
at night instead of depending on the
hotels for sleeping quarters. The rail
way company has announced that it
will take care of the members of the
two lodges in a manner that will be
entirely satisfactory.
While Kenosha is being mentioned
as the place for holding the next state
convention of the order, the local lodge
has not as yet extended any invitation
to the order and it is possible that the
members wiki prefer to wait a couple
of years before opening its doors to
the Wisconsin Elks.e The state Ellxs
are anxious to come to Kenosha and
it may be that the city will be elected
even without an invitation from the
local lodge
The Kenosha lodge is also planning
to send large delegation to Atlantic
City to attend the sessions of the
Grand Lodge. The delegation will be
headed by Past Exalted Ruler Charles
II. Gonnermann and it is expected that
at least thirty members OF the lodge
will make the trip.

SHOCK BRINGS DEATH
Mrs. Martha Wyman Dies
Soon After Hearing of the
Death of Her Mother
WIDELY KNOWN IN kENOSHA'

Mrs. Martha Marie Wyman, aged ga
years, widow of the late Captain
Charles Towslee Wyman, died at the
residence Of her daughter, Mrs. Frank
A. Marx on Market street, Monday
evening just after eleven o'clock af-
ter a short illness from pneumonia.
The death of Mrs. Wyman followed
closely the death of her mother, Mrs.
Martha Olsen, which occurred at Belle
view, Mimi, on sunday afternoon and
news of which was brought to the
daughter only short time before her
death. Mrs. Wyman had been taken
i'll on last Friday and she had been
sinking rapidly. On Monday morn
ing the telegram was received in the
city announcing the death Of Mrs. Oh
sen and it was read to Mrs. Wyman.
From that time her decline was steady
and soon after receiving the news of
her mother death the daughter sank
into a coma from which she never
awakened. 1t is thought that the
shock Of the announcement of the
death of the mother FASTENED the
death of the daughte
Mrs. Wyman was native of Nor
way and was born in Sorom, March 3,
1847. She came to this country many
years ago and Captain Wyman was
one of the bravest officers in the Union
army during the war of the rebellion.
The deceased came to Kenosha twenty
two years ago and since that time had
made her home here. She was identi-
fed with many organizations in the
city. She was member of the Keno
sha Woman's Relief Corps, The Royal
Neighbors of America and an homo
rary member of the Kenosha Fortress
of the Daughters of the Grand Army.
She was an active worker in all Of
these organizations. She was also one
of the leading workers in the congre-
cation of the First Baptist church.
Mrs. Wyman is survived by three
children, Lynn Wyman of Mime
apolis; Mrs. Frank A. Marx and M.
G.. Wyman of Kenosha.
