1t has been practically determined
to submit the question of going under
the commission form of government to
the voters of the city, but the men be-
hind the movement are undecided as to
whether it would be better policy to
submit the question now and probably
have it rejected or to wait a year un-
til the voters are better prepared to
decide, meanwhile carrying on an edu-
cational campaign. The plan of adopt
ing the commission form of govern
ment is undoubtedly growing in favor
every day, but the best way to get all
of the voters interested in it, talking
about it, and investigating its workings
in other cities, would be to submit the
question to them. The forces which
would be opposed to the change are
probably powerful enough at present
to defeat it, but it will do not particu.
lar harm to the movement to have the
question beaten the first time it is sub
mitted and it might do some good For
one thing it would show how powerful
the opposition is and how much work
must be done to overcome it.

FORMER EMPLOYERS WILLING
No Opposition to the Release of Young
Man Who has Served More Than
Half Of His Five Year Term in the
Federal Institution

Harvey 7. Wells, former clerk of
the First National bank, who is now
serving a Eve year sentence in the fed
eral prison at TT. Leavenworth, Kas..
has applied to the federal board OF
pardons for parole from the institu-
tion and his petition will be heard at
1T. Leavenworth tomorrow. Wells has
served two yqears and ten months of
the five year sentence as he was taken
to TT. Leavenworth after having been
sentenced by Judge Quarles in the
United States court for the eastern dis,
triet of Wisconsin On Nov. IL, 1908.
Wells has been a model prisoner from
the start and his release is strongly
urged by the officials of the federal
prison. Officers Of the First National
bank have Joined in the request that
he be paroled, these men stating that
they have no desire to prevent the re-
lease Of Wells and that they are per
fectly willing to give him chance to
make good. Wells was little more chan
a boy when he went to prison and if
released within few days he will
have ample opportunity to make a ca
reer for himself.
At the time of the arrest Of Wells
the story was a decided sensation.
Wells was a member of one of the old
Kenosha families and before he attain
I'd his majority he went to work in
The First National Bank and worked
himself up to place of trust in the
institution. He disappeared from Ke-
nosha on Oct. 5, 1907 and for months
detectives were on the search for him,
For many weeks the detectives were
completely baflled as Wells had gone
10 New York and had married and with
bis bride had sailed to England to
lpend his honeymoon, At the time of
The arrest Wells was working as an
artisan in manufacturing institution
Ia Boston. The clerk was charged with
embezzling funds of the bank to the
amount of $4,000 and while it was in
;imated at the time that the shortage
nay have been a great deal more,
subsequent examinations revealed the
tact that the total amount of the
populations of the clerk did not ex.
heed that amount.
The peyltion for the release of Wells
Is made by his mother and it is made
with the understanding that the young
man is to be paroled to a we'll known
manufacturer of the city who will see
that he is properly employed and that
be makes regular reports to the govern
ment officials. The wife of Wells has
been living in the west and will resume
ber relationship with him when he
leaves the prison. 1t is probable that
be- will be released before the end of
The month.
John Schultz, Racine bank clerk,
who was sentenced at the same time as
Wells, has also made petition for parole
and it viii probably be granted

Robert KaneofR Richmond, I'll,
Killed BY Fast Train at
Camp Lake Saturday
HAD BEEN SITTING ON TRACK

Robert Kane, As years of age and
a well known resident of Richmond, ILL.,,
was instantly killed at Camp Lake on
Saturday evening just after eight
o o'clock when he was struck by fast
train on the Wisconsin Central road.
Kane was sitting on the track when he
was struck by the train and he was
thrown many feet from the track. The
engineer in charge of the engine did
not see the man until few seconds
before he was hurled to death. Kane
had been about Wilmot and Camp Lake
on Saturday and seemed to be sober.
Just how he happened to sit down on
the track is not known, but it is Cup
posed that he was making the trip be-
tween Camp Lake and Silver Lake and
had sat down on the tracks TO rest.
The remains were taken to the Wright
.morgue at Wilmot shortly after the
accident and coroner's jury was call
ed on Sunday to make an investigation
into the death of the man. The inquest
is being held before Justice Blum in
Salem this afternoon. For the first time
in the history of the county the Wis
consin Central Railway company de-
clined to send the train crew to testi-
fly in the examination and the officials
found it necessary to adjourn the in
quest in order to make it possible to
send out the proper subpoenas for the
train crew.
Kane was widely known in the
neighborhood of Wilmot. He was a
single man and had lived nearly all of
his life at Richmond.
