SIMMONS RE-EIECTED.
z. G.. Simmons Again Named as Head of
Kenosha Police and Fire Commission.

z. g. Simmons was re- elected as
president of the board of fire and police
commissioners when the board held its
annual meeting for reorganization at
the city hall on Monday evening.
John Prlddis, who has been secretary
of the commission for ten years, was
reelected to this office. There was lit
tie business of Importance to come be-
fore the commission. Both Chief Iser-
man and Chief Q Hare appeared before
the commissioners and matters of in
terest to the two departments were dis
eussed, but there was nothing Of public
interest brought out in the discussions
and no changes in The forces were or
dered or recommended. A demand for
the best possible discipline on the force
was impressed on both of the heads of
the departments and they gave assur-
ance that the orders Of the commission
would be carried out. Six applications
for places on the police force and an
equal number for places on the fire de-
partment were received and number
Of the applicants examined, but as yet
no new names have been placed on the

ADMITS He FORGED THE CHECKS
Had Been Having a Great Time in
Milwaukee Saloons and is Now
Ready to Admit His Guilt and Pay
for the Sport.


Herman Swartz wanted in Kenosha
on charges of forging the name of
Lewis Eve to half dozen checks
on which he is alleged to have re-
ceived funds to the amount of over
800 was arrested by Chief of Police
o Hare and Detective Sullivan on Third
street in Milwaukee Tuesday evening.
ESwartz saw the Chief first and started
to make his get away but his efforts
were laughable as the man was so fat
that he could not run and the Chief
and Detective Sullivan had no trouble
securing his arrest. "I did it all
right" was the first thing that Swartz
said to O'Hare after he had been cap
tured and then he shut up like clam
and refused to make any further state
ment.
Swartz had been moving between
Milwaukee and South Milwaukee for
nearly a month and in that time he
had a gay time. All of the money
he had secured by passing the checks
to which the name of the Kenosha Ger
man editor publisher had been signed
had been squandered in saloons and at
the time Of his arrest the police found
just one lone fifty cent piece in
Swartz's pockets and it would have
gone over the bar if the German print
er had been allowed few more min
utes of liberty. Swartz did not limit
his orkings entirely te me signing
of the name of Eve to tho checks as it
was discovered that he had signed an
other mans name TO q check. This
was Milwaukee saloon keeper and
Swartz managed to secure ten dollars
on a forged check at the expense of
the saloon man. lie did not get away
with the money however, as two days
ago the saloon man met Swartz Just
after ne he'd cashed check signed
by Eve for ten dollars and the saloon
man assaulted and choked the German
printer until he turned over the ten
dollars.
Swartz was locked in the city lock-
up today and he will be given a pre-
liminary hearing before Judge Ran
dali on Thursday. It is expected that
Swartz will waive examination and ask
for an immediate sentence. The print
er is man of education and he adj
nitted to the police that he knew lust
what he was doing and that he expect
ed to take his medicine. Swartz has
been drinking heavily since he left Ke-
nosha and he is sick man from the
excessive use of liquor. It is probable
however that few days in the lock-
up will bring him back to usual health.

Miss Alice Kiehl and Miss Mary En-
morson residing at the corner of Elk
change street and Eagle street, had an
exciting experience at the corner of
Deming street and Park avenue Just
after eleven O'Clock Tuesday evening
when they were attacked by an un-
known man. Fortunately the screams
of the young woman attracted the at
tention of pedestrians and the man was
driven away. The two young ladies
had spent the day III Milwaukee and
had returned home on a late car They
were on their way to their home and
when they left the street car at the
corner of South and Main streets they
noticed that man was following them.
He kept at good distance until the
two young women were in front of the
old Balm homestead on Park avenue
and then he ran up and caught Miss
Kiehi. He attempted to put his hand
over her mouth but the young woman
put up a great fight and managed to
beat the man off. Then both of the
young women began to scream. The
man took to. his heels. The case was
reported to the police, but the man
has not as yet been captured.

GAVE LIQUOR TO MINOR.
Serious Breach of the Law is Charged
Against Trevor Saloon Man Today.

Conrad Haas and Former Assembly
man Walker IL. Curtiss of the village
of Trevor, applied to the district attor-
ney today for the arrest of Edward
Millager, in charge of a saloon at the
village Of Trevor. Millagef is charged
with having given liquor to a minor.
The minor was Conrad Hass, the son
of the man making the complaint. It
is declared by the father that the boy
was made drunk in the saloon on last
Sunday morning for the cole purpose
OF furnishing amusement for the men
about the saloon. 1t is not charged
that any liquor was sold to the boy but
that it was given to him over the lar.
The complaint against Millager was left
with the district attorney and it is
probable that warrant will be issued

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
Monday, Sept. 4, Will be Observed By
Residents of Wisconsin.

Gov. McGovern officially designated
Monday, September 4 as Labor day in
a proclamation issued from the execu-
tive Office. In part the executive saws:
" Labor is the only true alchemy. The
laborer alone really transmutes base
metal into gold by giving value to
things before found worthless. Labor
on the farm, in the mine, and in the
forest, adds to the sum of raw materi-
ais adapted to man IS use.
"Labor in the shop, in the factory
and mill, fits products thus wrested
from stubborn nature to practical ends
and the satisfaction of human wants
The laborer, therefore, is the real crea-
tor of wealth, although at times others
may be eustodians of it, charged with
the duty of using it for the promotion
of the common good. !"

JONES sees STATE OFFICERS
County Clerk Insists That He Must
Charge for Acknowledging Applica-
ton for Hunting Licenses in the
County.

Threats are being made to test the
right of the county to collect fees for
taking Acknowledgements on hunting IL
cense applications and in order that
the county may be properly advised in
the matter County Clerk Russell III.
Jones went to Madison today for a
personal interview with the attorney
general. Deputy Attorney, General
jackson of the state legal department.,
has given ar opinion in which he de-
clares that not more than a dollar can
be charged for hunting licenses and
men in the county who object to the
payment for the acknowledgment of
the application, have declared that they
will take the matter into court.
Under the advise of the members of
the county board the county clerk has
stood his ground and has absolutely
refused to make out the application
and issue the licenses without the pay
ment of the proper fees. This means
the payment of dollar and half.
The license costs just dollas as set
by the state, but the clerk insists that
SO long as the county officers are under
the fee system they must collect all
fees demanded by the state law. Half
q dozen quasi-important personages in
the city have demanded of the clerk
that he issue the licenses without de-
handing pay for the applications, but
the clerk has refused to make any
change in his rule without the formal
action of the county board or some one
who has more authority than the at
torney general.
District Attorney Hastings took the
matter up with the attorney general
at the request of the county clerk,
but Deputy Jackson again missed the
point that has been raised here and
sent back the statement that the IL
censes must be issued at a cost of a
dollar Clerk Jones is hopeful that he
will be able to make diagram which
will give the deputy attorney general
the exact conditions in Kenosha
county. If the state holds that no fee
can be collected for the applications
then the clerk will be relieved of all
responsibility in the matter
The controversy is attracting atten-
tion from several counties in the state
where similar conditions prevail and
the clerks of these counties are watch
ing for some final decision with a great
deal Of interest.
The number Of applications being re-
ceived in the local office are few and
far between and most of the hunters
seem to be holding off until such a
time as they can secure the licenses
for an even dollar

RIGHTS OF STRAP HANGERS
Claims to Have Been Permanently In
iured When Thrown in Car Which
was Too Crowded for Her to Secure
a Seat.

With the view of testing the right
of a "strap hanger on the cars of
the Kenosha Electric Railway company
and with view Of recovering damages
for alleged personal injuries of a per-
manent nature, Mrs. Mamie E. Blanch-
ard through her attorney. Calvin Stew
art, has filed suit against the Kenosha
Electric Railway company demanding
damages to the amount of 100000
The summons and complaint in the ac
ton was filed in court today and an
examination Of the officials of the com
pany is being held before court COM
missioner this afternoon. The suit of
Mrs. Blanchard against the, company
will be watched with a great deal of
interest by people who have been fore
ed to ride in crowded cars and it is
expected that it will establish the rights
of the passenger who is not given a
seat in the car. The suit is based on
injuries received by Mrs Blanchard on
Oct. %, 1910. On that date she enter
ed a car Of the defendant company at
the corner of Park avenue and South
street and the car was so crowded that
she was unable to secure seat She
was hanging to strap suspended
from the roof of the car when the con-
duct0r came into the car and accord
ing to the complaint directed the pas
sengers to "step forward She all
leges that she attempted to move for
ward with the rest Of the passengers
but that she did not move fast enough
and the conductor pushed the passeng
ers along and that while they were be-
| ing pushed the car started and Mrs.
Blanchard was thrDwn violently to the
floor. She alleges that in her fall her
knee was sprained and that complica-
tons followed which made the injury
q permanent one.
The suit is to come up before the
Circuit Court at the iSeptember session.
The facts in the case make an unusual
ly interesting issue and it is probable
that the railway company will put up
a vigorous fight against the payment
of damages to Mrs. Blanchard on ac-
| count of the fact that such payment
will open the way fol- suits on the part
of many strap hangers" who receive
slight injuries by bdng tossed about
in the cars.
/ The railway oficiali claim that they
are giving Kenosha people the best pos
sibie service but thai it would be i'm
possible to run rolling stock enougls
to prevent strap hanging at times when
the traffic is congesed.

MAY CLOSE NOVEMBER
Vesselmen Believe Present Season Will
Make Earliest Close Known,

Some vesselmen are watching every
opening to charter vessels for winter
storage of grain that can be taken
now. Chicago has been asking for bids
on tonnage for this purpose. At 5
cents a bushel it is likely cargocs
quickly, will be covered. Three months
of the season remain and the outlook
is not as hopeful as it was. The boats
are taking too long to deliver the coal
they are able to get and the chances
of getting cargoes are even poorer than
they were. There is no change in either
the ore or coal freight markets.
Everything points to an early close of
navigation so far as ore CARRYING is
concerned. Unless something unfora-
seen should happen to create more ear
goes, many boats will be laid up by
November Is.

Rail- Bureau Shows Roads
Cut Down Expenses by
Hundred Million Dollars
RETRENCHNENT ON ALL LINES

Statistics compiled by the bureau of
railway economics at Washington show
that railroads representing about go
per cent of the total operated mileage
of the county reduced the number of
their employees by 81,780 between April
80, 1910, and April 80, 1911.
If the same condition prevailed on
other lines not reporting to the bureau,
rail carriers throughout the United
States, it is figured had 10000 fewer
workers April 80 last than they did
on the same date in 1910, Placing
the annual income of the average rail
road worker at 800 year, the total
estimated cut in working forces repre-
SCENTS a slash in the pay rolls of the
carriers Of $95,410,0O0 for one year.
Since the returns were compiled by the
bureau many of the railroads have
adopted more drastic retrenehment
policy.
The bureau is supported by more
than fifty railroads, and as it has an
exceptional opportunity to obtain this
kind of information, the results are re
garded as reliable. The data shows
that on 139, 755 miles of line, or nearly
90 per cent of the total operated mile
age of the country, there were 987,790
employees April 80 last, as compared
with 1,069,57O employees on 1861
miles of road April 80, 1910.
1T will be perceived" says the bur
eau's bulletin. that while the operated
mileage of the railways covered by the
study had increased during the year
between April 80, 1910, and April 80,
1911, by 1000 miles, or 1.5 per cent,
the men employed in operating the in
creased mileage had deceased by near
~ $4,000 or 7.6 per cent That is, the
number of employees for every 100
miles fell during the year from TT
to 707.
. For each 100 miles of line the total
number of employees was less by seven
ty men in 1911 than in 1910. If con-
illusions may be drawn for the whole
country from the reports of nearly so
per cent of the mileage, it would ap-
pear that during the year under con-
slderation the labor tforce of the rail
ways was cut by nearly one-tenth as a
result of effort to reduce expenses and
effect economies at every point.

DAIRY BUSINESS pRgsPERS
Report Indicates that Creameries are
Handling Only Small Amount Of
Milk Produced in Kenosha County
During the Year.

County Clerk Russell III. Jones has
forwarded to the secretary of state his
annual report of the creameries in the
county and this report shows that there
has been no decrease in the dairy bust
ness done in Kenosha county during the
past year. There has been no increase
in the number of creameries, but the
creameries in existence a year ago
show a large increase in business dur
ing the year. The number Of cream
cries in the county is ten, including
one in Brighton, one in Kenosha. one
in Bristol, one in Paris, two in Wheat
land and Salem and one each in Som
ers and Randall
The value of the plants is placed at
$93,385. The number Of patrons
contributing to the creameries is I'll
and the number of cows brought into
service i'll providing the products is
1925. The number Of pounds of milk
received in the year was 35,404,385 and
the number of pounds of butter made
was 549,742. The value of the pro-
ducts of the creameries is placed at
$313,637.
The report shows that in addition
to the number of pounds of butter
made at the creameries that there was
11,G26 pounds Of butter made on farms
in the county during the year.
The report shows only small part
of the great dairy interests of Keno
sha county as only a small proportion
of the dairies in the county are selling
their products to the creameries and
the greater amount of the milk Of Ke-
nosha county is shipped to big distri-
buting centers in Chicago and Milwau-
kee. The Borden and Bowman com
panes at the present time are hand
ling vast amounts of milk at their
various bottling plants in the county
and it is claimed that the amount hand
led by these plants will be many times
the amount of the milk sold to the
Hcreameries and condensing plants. The
farmers seem 20 regard the creamery
as an old fashioned way to dispose of
their milk and the patrons of the cream
cry are rapidly being limited to the
farmers who live within a comparative
ly short distance of the creameries.
However, the amount of milk hand
led in the creameries shows an increase
over the amount handled last year, but
farmers declare that the increase is not
nearly SO large as the increase shown
in the amount of milk handled by the
bottling plants and that shipped di-
rectly to the wholesalers in Chicago
from milk platforms all along the line
of the railways in the county.
