picnic or days recreation. But with
the modern ideas of farming and stock
raising has come great change in
the matter of forest and groves.
Every available acre of grassy land in
this part Of the state is used for pas
turage and no farmer will rent his
grove for q picnic nor will he allow
| city people to trample over his grass.
| This neceSsitates the establishment
and maintenance of parks and pleas
IRE grounds for the people of this
city. Nashville is wonderfully blessed
in this respect. With the change of
conditions as regards to the owners of
forests and groves came in existence
Greenwood Park This park was
opened few years ago and at that
time it was out of the question to ever
expect that 1t would be any more than
a field, but the hand of the agricul-
turalist and landscape gardener and
scrutinizing eye Of the owner Of this
park has conformed this field into a
veritable paradise. Greenwood park
is now ranked among the first resorts
in the South. Where once stood the
corn stalks and the thistles now stand
beautiful shade trees and wide ma
cadamized walks, set with beautiful
flowers and shrubbery. Club houses
have taken the places of hay farms
and spring houses have sprung up
where once the common pond and
mud holes stood.
1t will be remembered that last
year the spacious grandstand was de-
stroyed by fire. This is being replaced
by one more modern and of a great
err seating capacity. A new dining
hall is in course of erection that will
comfortably entertain a party of two
hundred. This and many Other i'm
provements will make Greenwood the
equal If not the superior of any park
in the South. Another great conven-
fence that has not heretofore been en-
joyed is the car service that will be
regular throughout the season. Every
thing has been done to make this park
of comfort and pleasure to the Negroes
of Nashville. If they will take advan-
take of the opportunity it can be best
proven when the season opens. The
reputation of the place has always
been the best so that the best people
feel free to take their families and
spend the evening any day In tbs
week at Greenwood park.

CHRISTIAN ENDEANOR COMMIT
TEE MEETING.

On Friday of last week a commit
tee of men interested in the Christian
Endeavor work met in this city to
consider specifically the religious
training of the Negro youth of the
South. Prominent in the meeting
were several distinguished men, among
whom were Dr.. w. T.. Johnson, of
Richmond, Va; DR.. w. J. Darby, Of
Evansville, Ind. The meeting was
participated in by several of the lead
ing ministers of the city, and feel
ing of unity was prevalent. Every
speech made at the meeting was full
Of common sense. The expressions
showed conclusively that there is a
desire on the part of all right-think-
ing men to put prejudice in the rear
and work as unit to make the world
better.
A number of addresses we're deliv-
cred by both black and white speakers
at st. Paul A. M. e. Church Tuesday
night, and as a result of the meeting
it is believed by those interested that
much good in this direction was &C
complished.
Rev. ]. C. Caldwell, leading Chris
tian Endeavor worker of the A. M. e.
Church, presided over the meeting.
The Fisk Jubilee Club furnished mu-
sic. After opening with devotions
conducted by Rev. G. w. Jackson, pas
tor of Cay Street Presbyterian Church,
five-minute addresses were made by
Rev. N. H. Plus, Superintendent OF
Misunderstanding OF the National Bap-
fist Convention, who represented the
Sunday school, and Rev. w. S. Filing
ton, pastor Of the First Baptist Church,
spoke on behalf Of the Baptist Young
Peoples Union.
Dr. w. ]. Darby, of Evansville, Ind,
DR.. Ira Landrith, of Belmont College,
DR.. R. H. Boyd, Secretary Of the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing Board, and
others also delivered timely addresses.
The principal address of the evening
was delivered by DR.. W. T. Johnson,
Of Richmond, Va. trustee of the
United Society of Christian Endeavo-.
DR.. Johnson discussed at some length
the work of the Christian Endeavor
Society, and gave numerous remedies
for the retrogression in church work
by the Negro young people, among
them was that of religious activity By
giving the young people something to
do in religious way, he declared, and
by keeping them in the work Of the
church, the general cause of civiliza-
ton will be advanced. He also stated
that broader vision of the conditions
that confront race was had through
Christian Endeavor work.
BY special request of DR.. Darby
Bishop Tyree made few remarks,
and in less than five minutes electri-
fled the audience with his eloquence
and wisdom. Benediction was pro-
nounced by DR.. Miller

Coroner Peter Hoffman of Cook
county and the jury called to investi-
gate into the death of the late Charles
w Allen met in Chicago on Wednesday
afternoon and returned formal YER
dict in which they declared that Mr..
Allen had met his death by accident.
The evidence produced at the inquest
was largely evidence that had been
worked up by the coroner himself who
| had made an earnest effort to remove all
doubt as to the cause of the death of
the we'll known man. This evidence
showed conclusively that death had re
suited from accident. Positive identi-
fication of finger prints on the window
as the prints left by Mr.. Allen was
made and it was shown by these prints
that the dead man had made an effort
to hold himself by clutching at the
window sill.
Coroner Hoffman after the inquest
declared: "This has been one of the
most interesting Investigations ever
held by the coroner Of this county and
the evidence is so conclusive of acct
dental death that every shadow of a
doubt which may have been cast about
the case by the peculiar nature of the
accident has been removed. The win
dow sills in those windows are so low
that they are dangerous and the Of
fciais should follow the recommends
tions of the eoronor's jury and see that
the management Of the Palmer House
puts bars over the lower part Of the
windows A similar accident might
happen at any time"
With the exception of the presenta-
tion Of the finger prints found on the
window and the corresponding prints
of the fingers of Mr.. Allen taken be-
fore the body was removed to Kenosha
on last Saturday morning there was lit
tie of new nature brought out at the
| inquest. The men who had seen Mr..
Allen at the Palmer House, the bell
boy, the doctor who had examined
the body after it was found, all told
the same stories they had given out.
Robert w. Allen and E. G. Theirs were
the Kenosha witnesses before the jury
and their testimony simply showed that
Mr.. Allen had no reason to worry over
anything Several witnesses called
testified that Mr.. Allen had suffered
from dizziness several times during the
past few days. The jury deliberated
less than minute in formulating the
verdict which was fled late Wednesday
afternoon.

MANY SEEKING POSITION.
Kenoslla Men Anxious to Serve the City
in Office of City Sealer.

Mayor Scholey is going TO have a
big bunch OF candidates to select from
when he makes his appointment to the
Office of city sealer provided for by
the new state law. The city council
has not as yet fixed the salary for the
new official, but action along this line
is planned for the next meeting of the
council. As soon as the salary is fixed
the state civil service commission will
hold a special examination to make up
a list of eligibles and under the law
the mayor must appoint from this list.
It is probable that the salary will be
fixed at 5000 per year. Already more
than ten candidates have got into the
running for the new city office and
the mayor is having lively time en-,
PERTAINING the friends of the different
candidates. It is probable that the
salary will be fixed and the appoint
ment made so that the new official will
be able to begin his duties by the first
Of the new year. The council has made
no appropriation for the salary of a
e city sealer' and for this reason it is
not likely that a new officer will be
added to the pay roll until after the
next tax levy is made.

GYPSIES START WEST.
Forty Wagon Loads of the Nomads
Leave Kenosha County for ST Louis.

After week of constant troubles
Chief of Police O'Hare and Sheriff
Andrew F. Stahl believe that they have
rid Kenosha county of the gypsy hordes
and this afternoon cavalcade of forty
wagons left Pleasant Prairie for the
west taking in them more than 800 of
the nomads. These included all of the
members of the Bimble tribe ard a
half dozen other tribes who had come
here for the trial of he Bimble cases
in the circuit court. Before the gypsies
left the county they were forced to
settle several claims for damages made
by farmers In the neighborhood of the
camp. They did not leave the county
willingly and in fact for a time they
declared thai they would fight any eff
fort on the part of the court or the
officials to force them out, but when
a half a dozen members of the tribe
were threatened with arrest tor petty
offenses and when it was found chat the
sheriff was determined to put some of
the women in Jail the gypsies tore down
their tents and prepared to leave.

WILL REACH ALL NORTH SHORE
Managers of the Company are Now
Working With a View Of Putting
Service Into All of the Larger
Cities from Chicago to Milwaukee

Representatives of the Illinois Tun-
rel company, owners of the Chicago
Automatic Telephone system, were IN
Kenosha on Wednesday looking. over
the ground here with a view of extend
| ing the service now widely used in
Chicago to Kenosha and other north
shore towns and it is claimed that 1T is
the purpose of the company to extend
the service from Chicago to Kenosha
within the next year and that it is
the ultimate plan of the company to
extend the service so that it will take
in all the lake shore towns between
Chicago and Milwaukee with great
operating plants in all of the larger
cities. Charles HI. Hood, one Of the
principal officials of the company, is
conducting the investigation for the
company and he claims that all of the
north shore cities have promised to
greet the new company with open arms.
1t is the plan of the company not only
to offer competition to the Chicago
Telephone company in the way Of long
distance service to Chicago and other
cities, but also to install exchanges IN
the various cities touched by the
trunk lines. The company has been
extending its service west from Chi
cage to Kansas City, st. Louis, Aurora
and other western points and it is now
ready to extend northward along the
lake shore to Milwaukee and from that
point ultimately to the great lake dis
trict along Lake Superior The COM
pany is starting no agitation against
existing telephone companies, but de-
clares that the service it will offer will
be Of such nature as to appeal to the
people. The system in Chicago has
proved a winner and hundreds of
thousands of phones have been install
ed in that city. The service seems to
meet with general approval from Chi
cago users.
The automatic company has solved
many Of the ills of telephone users in
that the central Office cuts little figure
in the actual use of the system. Every
instrument used in the system has its
own indicator and by means of this in
dicator a direct connection can be made
with any telephone connected without
the necessity of calling the central
operator. Every working of the instru-
ment is automatic. According to state
ments made by the officials Of the com
pany it is thought that the lines will
be built in Kenosha early next year.

Kenosha Agent of Northwes-
tern Gives Up Work After
16 Years With Company
W. ]. KILT TO SUCCEED HIM

M. c. Hettinger, for the past year
agent for the Northwestern Railway
Company at the Kenosha station to-
day resigned his position and after six
teen years in the service of the North
western he will retire from railway
work on next Sunday morning. He
viii be succeeded in Kenosha by w.
j. Kitz who comes here from North
Chicago to take charge of the Keno
sha office
The retirement of Mr.. Hettinger will
be cause of regret to many people in
Kenosha. Since his coming to Keno
sha he has done much to improve the
shipping conditions in the city and has
taken personal interest in the affairs
of the company and secured many con-
cessions for the improvement of freight
and passenger service for the shippers
and travelling people of the city. Mr..
Hettinger will go out of the railway
work entirely and will engage in the
produce business. He is to be con-
nected with the T. III. Cochrane Com
pany at Portage and will make his
home at Westfeld The many friends
of Mr.. Hettinger in Kenosha while re-
GREETING his departure from the rail
way service here will be pleased to
wish him bright business future in
his new venture.
Mr.. Kiltz who succeeds Mr.. Hettin-
ger as agent here has had more than
fourteen years experience in railway
work. He began railroading at Cud-
ahy in 1896 and for several years was
in charge of the office at Cudahy. Lat
er he took charge Of the office at Car
rollville and later he was transferred
to Evanston where he remained for
several years. With the building up
of big business for the company at
North Chicago he was sent to that
point. Mr.. Kiltz is we'll known to
many of the employees of the Kenosha
Office and his coming to the city will
not result in any extensive changes in
the makeup of the force of the North
western in Kenosha.

Young Woman Found Dead
at Tucson, Ariz., Thought
to Be Former Kenoshan
LETTERS GIVE The ONLY CLEW

Press dispatches from Tuscon, Ari-
IONA, announce that an unidentified
woman, about twenty years of age,
was found dead in boarding house in
that city on Tuesday evening and there
are strong indications that the young
woman was a suicide. In small grip
which had been carried by the young
woman were found two letters from
people in Kenosha. One of them was
signed in the name "Grace" and the
other bore the signature "Your
Friend Harry" The contents of the
letters indicated that the dead woman
had formerly lived in Kenosha, but the
envelopes in which they had been mail
ed were missing and they gave no in
dication of the name of the dead WON
an. The letters had evidently been
written some time ago. The young
woman was seeking work at Tucson,
and had gone to the boarding house
on Sunday evening. She had NOT com.
municated to any of the other peo-
pie at the place anything in regard to
her name or her residence. Before 60
ing TO Tucson she had lived at Dallas,
Texas, and she was supposed to be a
knitter by occupation. The girl was
found dead in bed and had evidently
taken a portion of some drug or had
died from heart disease. There was
no note left behind to give any facts
in regard to the girl and the only thing
found in her belongings we're the let
tiers mentioning Kenosha and intimat-
ing that the young woman had former.
ly lived here or that she had close
friends or relatives in Kenosha. The
remains were turned over to the
authorities at Tucson and are being
held pending further efforts to find
some facts in regard to the young
woman.

TO MEET NEXT MONTH.
Conference Being Planned to Prepare
Slate Of Delegates

Progressive Republican leaders will
hold quiet conference either in Mil
waukee or Madison about the middle
OF next month for the meeting which
Senator LaFollette will address in
Milwaukee in November and tenta-
tive slate will be presented for approx
al Of candidates for both delegates-at-
large and district delegates to the Re-
publican national convention. It is
said some of the names which are to
go OH the slate have already been
chosen and that the list of delegates
at-large includes State Senator A. w,
Sanborn Of Ashland, National Commit
teeman Alfred T. Rogers Of Madison,
Gov. Frances E. McGovern and Col
William c. Brumder Of Milwaukee.
There is question, however, if Mr..
Brumder, who is credited with guberna-
torial ambitions, will make the run, for
four years ago he was delegate in
support of Mr. LaFollette to the Re-
publican national convention.
Wisconsin because of it's selection of
national convention delegates at pri-
mary elections in April, will be one of
the first to name its convention dele
gates and for this reason the fight here
in both the Republican and Democratic
parties will be watched with interest
all over the nation.
