Is Elected Mayor Over Mer-
riam
BY PLURALITY OF $4,000
Owing to the Drilling Rain All Day
= Merriam Supporters in "Silk Stock
ing" Wards Did Not Turn Out
Harrison's Fifth Victory.

Chicago, April 5.--Carter H. Hari-
son was elected mayor OF Chicago yes
terday. 1t was the fifth time he had
been given the office and his plurality
judged by about IS per cent, of the re-
turns. is about $4,000.
Charles Z. Merriam, his Republican
/ pponent, conceded the election two and
I half hours after the polls closed. In
Living up the fight, Mr.. Merriam said;
~ am satisfied with the fight we have
made We have presented the issues OF
decent, honest, economical and progress
sive government squarely TO the voters
in way that cannot fail to help con
ditions. The battle must be fought not
once but many times, and in the long
run it will prove successful. / congrat-
ulate Mr.. Harrison on his victory and
wish him we'll in his administration"
Merriam got nearly seven per cent.
fewer votes than Fred Busse tRepubli-
cam had four years ago, while Harri-
son ran over II per cent. ahead OF the
figures attained by Z. T. Dunno Demo
craft at that time. The vote reached
above 100000, approximately $500 more
than at the preceding mayoralty con-
test.
In spite of this, both sides agreed that
Merriam lost through the failure of the
silk stocking wards to show the
strength that had been expected from
them in favor of Merriam,
Even in the 25th ward, where Mer-
RAMS candidacy was conceived. failure
of Merriam supporters to go out in the
drizzling rain that fell all day and vote
for their choice. caused his total to
drop far below what had been expected.
While the first ward gave its usual
Democratic plurality, it was not alone
from this and the river wards of similar
character that Harrison drew his sup
port. His promise of 10 cent gas was
said by his managers to have had a
great influence with the west side wards,
where he showed unexpected strength.
Failure of the Dunno Democrats and
those included in the camp Of Roger G.
Sullivan to forget party lines and vote
for Merriam was given by the latter's
managers as the basis of the Republi-
can defeat. Merriam had made spec
ial appeal to these voters to support
him instead Of Harrison, with whom
they had an especially bitter fight in
the primary election.
There were three annexation PROPOSE
tions before the voters Those for Oak
Park and the town of Cicero failed to
carry in those towns though voted for
heavily in Chicago. The village Of Nor
gan Park decided to come in after years
of opposition.
A feature of the campaign was the
vote polled by the Socialists. Five
sixths of the total precincts indicated
that the vote would reach $4,000, a
gain of II 900 over the vote of four years
ago. On the other hand, the prohibit
ton vote. which had been 5S75 four
years ago, dropped to 5000 this year
The completed count late last night
gave Harrison plurality of 1909 A
final count of the 1924 precincts gave
Harrison l77,35s and Merriam, his Re
publican opponent l60,276. Rodriguez,
the Socialist candidate, received 22,204
votes.

ASKS LARGE DAMAGES
Mrs. Laura V. Cooler Files
Big Suit Against Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul.
HUSBAND KILLED ON The ROAD

One Of the biggest suits for damages
ever filed in Kenosha county was filed
in the circuit court today when George
Taylor, as attorney for Mrs. Laura V.
Coder, administratix of the estate of
the late Andrew Coder, began suit
against the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railway company for damages Of
$20,150 The large sum is demanded
for the death Of Andrew Coder, killed
in the yards of the company in Mil
waukee during the year just closing.
Coder, who was formerly a Kenosha
man, was killed while working as a
switcbman for the company. Coder was
one of the most careful employees Of the
company. AT the time of his injury he
was riding on the footboard of the
tender Of the engine. At a time when
the engine was crossing planked road
the rail sunk down and the -footboard
caught on one of the planks in such a
manner that Coder was thrown Of the
board and under the trucks of the car.
His injuries were of such nature that
he died a few hours later at a Milwau-
kee hospital. The case will come up for
trial at the March term OF the circuit
court. The summons in the case was
served on the agent of the defendant
company at Truesdel.

GET CHRISTMAS BEEF
Degan and Deffry Buy Prize
Herd from Kansas City
Fat Stock Show.
4 CARLOAD or PRIZE WINNERS

-Kenosha people are going to have the
finest supply of Christmas beef this
year ever brought to the city. as Chas
Deffry has just returned from q west
ern trip and during his trip he pur-
chased for the began and Defry mar
ket 10000 pounds of prize beef. The
beef was purchased through N. f. Web
Der, of Kansas City, one of the biggest
market men in the United States Web
Der bought up all the prize stock at the
Kansas City and Sioux City stock shows
and in the list were twenty polled
Angus steers, every one of them pro-
nounced perfect by the inspectors and
every one awarded a prize ribbon by
the Judges. This herd Of steers was pur-
chased on foot for the began and
Deffry market and they are now being
slaughtered and dressed in the famous
sanitary plant in Kansas City. The full
carload of prize beef will reach Keno
sha on Monday and the display will be
ready for the public on Tuesday morn
ing. 1t is declared that this is the larg-
est shipment of "prize" beef ever
made to Kenosha. When the herd was
offered for sale more than sixty cities
bid for the privilege of having it for
Christmas beef and Deffry finally pur-
chased it at fancy price. The Degan
and Deffry market for years has made
a speciality Of the Christmas beef and
this year the offering will be more not
able than ever before. In addition to
the display of prize beef the market
will have display of sixty spring
lambs, every one of which was raised
in Kenosha county and fattened espe
cially for the Christmas trade.

Wallace ingalls, May Get Of
flee if Golf Is Named as
United States Judge.
INGALLS, MEETS PRESIDENT
Racine People Claim that Lawyer Well
known in Kenosha May be Named
for United States District Attorney
if Golf Becomes Judge.

Reports from various quarters that
bear the earmarks of more or less re-
liability indicate that the race for the
eastern district federal judgeship has
entered the acute stage. 1t now APP
pears that President Taft will make
the appointment early in January.
One fact which stands out promi-
nently in the situation is that the sup
port freely accorded to Judge E. B.
Belden of this circuit is standing up
with the rigidity of church and he is
the only candidate that has the unani-
nous endorsement OF the county boards
in all of the counties Of his circuit.
Rumor, partially confirmed, has it
that Wallace Ingalls,. of Racine, has
been in Washington several days. Guy
D. Golf, of Milwaukee, is now United
States district attorney for the eastern
district The understanding now is that
ingalls, may succeed Golf to the federal
district attorneyship should the Mil
waukee man be named as judge.
Early in the contest, it was said
that Mr.. Golf stood a good chance to
land the judgeship. Then came the re-
port that the president discouraged
his candidacy because of the big po-
litical row that was kicked up over
Golf $ finally successful attempt to
become United States district attorney.
This appointment hung fire for
months while a bitter fight was made
against Mr. Golf.
1t is said that the president doesn It
want another battle of that kind, es-
pecially at this time when things are
not looking up for him in the Badger
state.
1t appears that Milwaukee politi-
clans. or rather that lawyer politi-
clans, have taken the absurd position
that the judgeship should go to Mil
waukeean. The logic or reasonableness
of this claim has not been set forth.
The eastern federal district is not a
Milwaukee institution and is in no way
dependent upon that city or its law
yers or it's politicians. One of there
suits of this conclusion is the candi-
dacy of Warren d. Tarrant, circuit
court Judge of Milwaukee county.
Those who are standing for Mil
waukee appointment are making an
effort to unite on Tarrant in the hope
that solid front for him or anyone
else up there will defeat Judge Bel
en-. If this sort Of thing appeals to
the president, it will be interesting to
know upon what grounds.
George Lines, a Milwaukee attor-
ney, who was said to have the sup
port of Emanuel Philip, the president s
personal representative in Wisconsin, is
said to have declined to be considered
a candidate for the position,

From Kenosha.
Is HELD ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
Man Who is Alleged TO Have Been Con

Under Many Aliases and is Alleged
TO Have Uttered Worthless Checks.

There is deal Of mystery connect
ed with man under arrest at LaCross
who was sent to the county Jail of that
county for forty days on conviction of
receiving money under false pretenses.
The man, who is decidedly well dressed,
claims TO be from Kenosha, and he in
Inmates that he was employed as
travelling salesman by one of the big
Kenosha industries. Pictures sent to
Kenosha have not been identified by
any Of the managers of the big plants
in Kenosha. The man was arrested
originally on charges of seeking to OBJ
tain money on worthless check An
examination showed that he was known
under number of names, the list in
Guiding Frank B. Schultz, William B.
Lawler, George W. Founce, Frank B.
Stone and Frank B. Thomas. In letter
to Chief of Police O'Hare Chief Web
Der, of the Lacrosse department, de-
clares that he feels certain that the
man is from Kenosha and that he is
concealing his real identity under an
alias. The picture is very familiar to
many Kenosha people, but they do not
seem to be able to give the police the
information which will result in the
mystery being solved Schultz stated
that he was q years of age, but he
appears much older. 1t is evident that
he has been in many parts of the coun-
try and he seems to have some very
accurate information in regard to peo-
pie in Kenosha. He has shown an in
innate knowledge of motor cars and
for this reason it was thought possi-
BILE that he was a former employe of
the Thomas B. Jeffrey company, but
men at the plant could not identify
the picture sent to Kenosha. The man
had trunk full of clothing at a place
in Lacrosse, but he seemed to be en-
tirely out of money. He is American
born and we'll educated.
The police have been making the
rounds of Kenosha with the view of
finding his identity, but the farther
they go into the matter the deeper the
mystery becomes. The Lacrosse officials
are planning to hold Schultz there I'M
til some further facts can be secured
in regard to him.

SETTLE FIRST DEATH CLAIM.
State Industrial Commission Fixes the
Compensation for Family.

In adjusting compensation for the
death of Edward Thrall, of Mosinee,
killed in q fall from q ladder, the
state industrial commission this week
is settling the first death claim under
the new workmen's compensation
law. Thrall lost his life on December
and week later the final settlement
was nearly completed. He was an en-
.ploye of the Wausau Sulphite company,
whose risk for it's employees was insured
in the newly Incorporated Employers
Mutual Liability company, of Wausau.
Thrall IS wages amounted to $85 per
month. Under the law, the compen-
sation for the. widow and two children
is four years wages, with the maximum
limit $4,000. Had he lived, his four
years earnings would have been over
$4,000, but it is estimated that the
So, 900 allowed will cover the amount
which his dependents alone would re-
ceive had the man lived
The compensation as fixed by the
commission, to be paid to the widow
and children, is SLAP week. This
sum will be paid periodically until the
$4,000 has been paid. It is expected to
tide them through the next few years
and provide all necessities.
To pay this loss the Employers Nut
ual Liability company is buying an an
nuity in the amount of $2,808.02.
