Marshal Anderson, Deputy Sheriff

ton of being quarrelsome when

MYSTERY IN AN AUTO.
Old Relic of BY Gone Days Picked up
| by the Police on Monday Evening

The police have mystery in con-
nectlon with relic of by gone days
dignified by the name of an automobile
which was picked up near the ice house
on the lake shore road north of the city
at midnight last night. The automobile
which IS a one lunger' of the vintage
of about 1900 had been left backed up
against the ice house by two men who
are alleged to have taken another ma
chine and gone to Milwaukee. It had
no number, no lights and no name plate
and the police had it pulled into Ken
.osha with view of finding the owner.
The automobile would be valued at on
ly a few dollars at best but the police
seem to be laboring under the impress
sion that it was stolen from some place
and they are holding it pending an eff
fort TO get il communication with the
owner. A man who gave his name as
y. j. Caulkins was taken into custody
by the police and it is thought possible
that he may know something about the
abandoned car which he has not given
the police. The man claimed that he
was an electrician and that he had gone
out to repair the car.

More Than 500 Claims Filed
Against Powder Co. as Re-
suit of Recent Explosion
TO MAKE SETTLEMENTS SOON

Cavanagh and Barnes, attorneys for
the E. [. Dupont de NeMours Powder
company in Kenosha report that al
ready between 400 and 500 claims have
been fled against the company as a re-
suit of the explosion of ten days ago
and the claims are still coming in at a
rate Of almost hundred day. Two
clerks have been employed who have
nothing to do but to classify and ar
range these claims and they are being
kept decidedly busy. The claims SO
far received are nearly all from the
city of Kenosha, and the amount of the
individual claims is still small but the
total runs into thousands of dollars.
The big claims are still to come in. The
number of claims received from other
cities is smaller than had been anti
cipated and it is evident that many
people in surrounding cities will not
take the trouble to bother with pres
enting claims for damages sustained.
The appraisers are still at work in the
village of Pleasant Prairie and in that
township and it is expected that their
report will show the larger amount Of
the claims filed as result of the ex-
plosion. Sidney M. Jones has been
selected to adjust the smaller claims in
Kenosha and he is now busy making
examinations. Claims for all sorts Of
damages are to be found in the list and
every claim will be investigated. No
time has as yet been set for the formal
payment Of the claims but it was stat
ed by the attorneys this morning that
the work of paying would be started
just as soon as the men in charge of
making the estimates had made their
reports. Thus far no suits have been
filed in court as a result of the explo-
sion and the attorneys are not antici-
pating any continued litigation.

MOTH is REELECTED
City Engineer Elected for
18th Consecutive Term
Monday Night
GOOD BERTH FOR THOS. H0BAN


City Engineer Robert II. Moth was
| reelected to his Office for the twelfth
term at the meeting of the Common
| Council on Monday evening at sal
airy of $500 a year and he will con
tinue to act in the capacity Of Superin-
tendent of the Water Works at a sal
airy of $500 year. The election of
| Mr.. Moth was not without contest as
it was shown that there was a decided
opposition to his candidacy among GER
| tain members Of the council but the
first vote gave him IL votes while the
other five were cast for L. A. Pease,
the former engineer of the Kenosha
Electric Railway company. After Mr..
Moth had been reelected. Alderman
Higley of the fourth ward made bit
ter attack on the official and demanded
that in the future he give up his work
as Superintendent Of the Water com
pany and give all his time to the office
of City Engineer. The motion failed
to get second and Engineer Moth
will continue in Office for the present
at least, under the same arrangement
as has prevailed during the last twelve
years. The engineer announced that
he had temporarily named Andrew B.
Schmitz, County Surveyor as his first
assistant and that it would be neces-
sary to employ another man during the
summer months on account of the large
amount of added work brought by the
new trunk sewer.
The election Of Mr.. Moth came as
surprise as it was thought that the
opposition to him which has been seen
through the year would be able to mus
ter a larger number of votes against
him.
Thomas Hoban the well known brick
layer drew a good berth from the city
council as he was named as inspector
of the new trunk line sewer at salary
Of not to exceed $500 day. He is to
go on duty when the work is started.
Mr.. Hoban acted as Inspector in some
of the big work done at the Naval
Training School at Lake Bluff and he
had the best possible recommendations
for the position, and was elected by
unanimous vote of the council.
Samuel Il. Kerr was reelected to
his old position Of paving inspector for
the coming year at salary Of So per
day. Mr.. Kerr is now at work on the
Elizabeth street job and it is certain
that there will be work enough to keep
him busy until the Christmas holidays.
The only other candidate for the posi-
tion was Bernhard Hermann the pres
ent street commi ssioner OF the north
division. When the ballot was taken
Kerr got Is votes to 3 for Herman.

MAY TAKE UP SCHOOL QUESTION
Board is Called 20 Demand Legislation
Against Powder Plants but Other
Matters May be Taken up and Dis
posed Of.

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning sent out a formal call for a
special meeting of the County Board of
Kenosha county to be held at the court
house on Tuesday morning, March %,
and at that time the board will take up
the question of making remonstrance
against the rebuilding of the big pow
der plant at Pleasant Prairie. The call
for the special meeting was issued IL
lowing the filing of petition signed
by more than a majority of the mem
bers of the board. Just what form the
remonstranee of the board will take has
not as yet been worked out but it is
expected that the board will appoint a
committee to go to Madison at the ex-
pense of the county and appear before
the legislative committees to demand
the passage of the bill for the regula-
ton of powder making in the state. 1t
is possible that the board will also send
a committee to the officials of the pow
der making company and urge them to
refrain from rebuilding the plant in
this county. Under the petition for the
special meeting other business may be
taken up at this session of the board.
1t is not expected that the board will
be in session more than one day but
there will be plenty of time for any
matters of Importance. Since the ad-
journment of the January session Of
the board, State Superintendent Cary
has announced that one of the state
training schools for teachers will be To-
Gated in Kenosha and it is possible that
some steps will be taken at the special
meeting to get the work of opening
the school started. 1t is now being
suggested that the school be a training
school for teachers and an agricultural
school combined. It is certain that this
suggestion will meet with favor among
the members of the board from the
agricultural districts of the county and
it is possible that it will be favored by
number of the city members of the
board. The state has agreed to give
aid to ten schools in different counties
Of the state and already six counties
have made arrangements to open these
schools. 1t is feared that the other
four Will have been arranged for be-
fore the November sessions Of the coun-
ty board and for this reason if the
board wants one of these schools for
Kenosha county some action must be
taken at this time. The coming session
Of the board will not be empowered to
make any appropriations. The fact
tl,at number of the men may be re-
tired at the coming elections may result
in the board deciding that it would be
unwise to take up any matters of the
county's business other than the re-
monstrance against the powder plant.

Stealing Released Under Sentence.
julius Carlson arrested some time
ago on charges of stealing horse and
buggy belonging to DR.. G. III. Ripley
secured his freedom on a suspended
sentence in the Circuit court on Mon
day afternoon. Carlson has been
something of an enigma for the police
and when the case was called against
him the District Attorney consented
to permit him to plead equity" to a
charge Of malicious mischief. Judge
Belden decided to give Carlson a
chance ard to this end sentence on him
was suspended pending his good behav-
Tor. The owner of the horse did not
care to have the charges pushed against
the young man and he was willing that
he be given a chance to reform.

LIVED UNDER ASSUMED NAME
Man Long Sought by Officials to Serve
Divorce Complaint Found Living
Under Name of Frank at Brown S
Lake.

Frank Hewitt, SO years of age and
formerly well known man of Ander-
son, Ind, who had been noted among
the list of "missing" for more than
a year and six months was located on
Friday afternoon by Sheriff Andrew
Stahl of this county when he found the
missing man working at Browns lake
under the name of Mr.. Crank Hew-
lit mad up to the time he was sought
out by Sheriff Stahl been able to hide
his identity. The immediate reason
for the search for Hewitt on the part
OF the officials of Kenosha county was
the fact that his wife Minnie f. Hewitt
has flled an lection for divorce in the
Circuit court Of Kenosha county and
for more than year search has been
made for the man. The couple were
formerly well known at Anderson, Ind,
but several years ago they came to
kenosha and in her complaint Mrs.
Hewitt alleges that her husband dis
appeared from this city on the night of
Sept. l, 1909. The search for the man
was taken up shortly after his disap-
pearance and it was supposed that he
had returned to his former home in
Indiana. Madison county in which the
Indiana city is located was combed
with fine tooth comb but no trace of
the missing man was found. He was a
man OF considerable property and much
OF this was located in and about An
derson but no word was heard from
him there. Mrs. Hewitt remained in
kenosha until a short time ago when
she removed to Union Grove to make
her home with relatives there. In the
meantime after the search for Hewitt
had been abandoned the wife brought
an action for divorce alleging desertion
and only few weeks ago an affidavit
was filed in the Circuit court declaring
that Hewitt was not resident of Wis
consin and that all efforts to locate
him had been of no avail A formal
notice Of the filing of the divorce case
was then published. It seems that
about this time Hewitt got wind of the
fact that his wife was living at Union
Grove. He had been at Brown s lake
for some time and under the name of
Martin Frank" he had completely
concealed his identity. There was some
thing mysterious about the man, how
ever, and one of the friends of the
Sheriff found out this fact and reported
and Stahl at once began to make a
search which brought to light the fact
that Crank was the missing Ander-
son man. When confronted by the
Sheriff late Friday afternoon Hewitt at
first refused to admit his identity but
when he saw that the Sheriff had care
fully followed his movements for
months he admitted that he was the
missing man and he accepted service in
the divorce court.
1t is claimed that the action will be
bitterly contested by Hewitt. 1t is
limited that there is another woman in
the case but no mention is made of this
fact in the action for divorce brought
by the wife she alleging the simple
charge of desertion. The couple has
one son, Homer Hewitt, who is now
with the mother at Union Grove.

SEE HOPE WITH ASSEMBLY
Bill for Validating Franchise to be Re
ported one Way or the Other by Com
naittee of the Assembly Within the
Next Few Days.

The hopes Of the Kenosha Electric
Railway company continuing in the
| lighting business in Kenosha now rest
with the Legislature as the Supreme
court of the state has handed down a
formal decision denying a rehearing OF
the case of the Kenosha Gas and Elec-
trio company against the Railway COM
pany which resulted in verdict for
the former company in the lower court
and which has now been fully affirmed
by the Supreme court. In the former
hearing Justices Winslow, Siebecker
and Barnes dissented from the decision
of the higher court but the decision on
the motion to deny the rehearing was
unanimous opinion. 1t is taken that
this ends the fight so far as the court is
concerned. Tt would be possible for
the company to reopen the fight by fill
ing an amended answer in which other
matters would be set up as a cause for
the validating Of the franchise of the
Railway company but it is hardly
thought that the company will take
this step, unless it is taken with view
of continuing the company in opera
tion for a long time pending the decis-
ion of the court on the litigation. This
would be an expensive proposition and
the officials Of the company seem to be
Of the opinion that their sole hope now
rests with the Assembly. The Senate
has passed the bill proposed by Senator
Bishop which validates the franchise
of the company but it is declared that
fight will be made against the bill in
the Assembly.
The Assembly committee which has
had charge of the bill has heard the
arguments of both Of the companies
and it will probably make some report
on the bill within the next few days.
Members of the legislature have been
anxiously awaiting some sign from the
State Railroad Commission but as yet
this commission has given no public
statement as to- it's attitude toward the
bill. 1t is declared, however, that the
bill is not favored by the members of
the commission as individuals and this
will undoubtedly be noised about
among the members Of the assembly be-
fore the bill comes up for final action.
It is deemed certain that Governor f.
f. McGovern will approve the bill if
he can be satisfied that it will be held
constitutional by the Supreme court.
The lawyers on. the Assembly commit
tee have already raised the question of
the right of the legislature to pass such
q bill and as the Governor himself is
a lawyer he will undoubtedly consider
this feature of the bill very carefully
before he approves it if it should pass
the assembly without amendment.
Officials of the Kenosha Electric
Railway company seem to feel certain
that the fight will be won before the
| legislature and the local managers of
the Kenosha Gas and Electric company
decline to discuss the possible passage
of the bill. They, however, insist that
the decision of the Supreme court in
refusing rehearing on the bill is a
big victory for them.

MAGNATEs CLOSE CIRCUIT.
Lake Shore Leaguers i'll Session Admit
Eighth Club Into Organization.

Lake Shore league managers, in Mil
waukee in session at the republican
house on Sunday, closed up the eight
club circuit by admitting one more
state team. The name of the member
will not be disclosed by the magnates
as yet, for it will be necessary to close
several deals to make the path of ad-
mission clear.
The officers of the circuit failed to
adopt the tentative schedule which had
been drawn up, and it will be neces-
sary for the committee in charge to
draft new one.
An arrangement whereby the newly

Shore games, was made with the Off
GERS of the smaller circuit. The Spald-

BEER DEPOT scoRCHED.
Migrants Thought to Have Set Fire to
Platform of Schoenhofen Company.

The fire department of the city was
called out late Sunday afternoon as the
result of small blaze under the plat
form Of the beer depot of the Schoen-
hofen Brewing Company on Elizabeth
street. The fire was extinguished with
out any serious damage being done. It
was claimed that the fire was started
by Migrants who had been loafing
about the yards of the railway company
on Sunday and three of these men were
arrested by the police after the fire.
They asserted that they had not been
near the depot and when they were
brought into the Municipal court this
morning they were arraigned on charg-
es of vagrancy.
