FROM PILLAR TO POST
Attorneys Have Trouble Finding Court
to Hear Charges

The preliminary hearing of Gladys
Jewell arrested ten days ago on
charges of being the keeper of house
OF Ill fame, was kicked from pillar to
post In kenosha courts this morning
and finally it landed in the hands of
Judge Randall III the municipal court.
Here an objection was made to the
court hearing the case and q new adj
journment was taken. The case was
originally slated to come up before
Court Commissioner Buckmas ter and
an affidavit of prejudice was fled by
the attorneys for the woman. Then it
was sent to Court Commissioner Slater
who sent it back on account of the
fact that that the woman had sought
to retain him as an attorney but he
had declined. Then Commissioner
Buckmaster sent it to Judge Randall.
The last objection OF the attorneys for
the woman was based on the fact that
Judge Randall was not the nearest
magistrate and they demanded that
the case be turned over to Court Com,
missioner Peter Fisher, Jr., for hear
ing.

DEFENDS R. H. MOTH
City Engineer Baltzer Vim.
dicates Former Engineer
in Signed Statement.
NO ERROR IN SEWER GRADE

With a view of settling large
amount of unfavorable comment that
has been made in regard to an alleged
failure of the sewer contractors to
build the sewer to grade, City Engineer
August Baltzer issued a signed state
ment this morning. The statement is
made primarily to vindicate Robert H.
Moth, former city engineer, of any er-
ror that may have been charged
against him and with a second pur-
pose Of assuring the people that there
has been no error in the grade. The
statement of the engineer follows:
To the Editor Of the Kenosha Even
ing News:
In your issue of September 7th, 1911,
an article appeared, stating that a mis-
take had been made with reference Go
the grade Of the trunk sewer, which at
that time was alleged to be eighteen
inches lower than it should have been,
SSud dISO budG GHc IO1Iu0I tnS1-
neer, Robert H. Moth, was blamed for
this.
In justice to Mr.. Moth, [ wish to
say that this statement was made by
me to the council after having been
so informed by one of my assistants,
who now has severed his connections
with the city of Kenosha. About two
or three days later personally investi-
gated this matter, and found, that l
had been misled, and that mistake
in the taking of the levels had been
made by this assistant, and [ promptly
informed the council of same. How
ever, the public at large were not no
titled of this mistake.
AS I believe that Mr.. Moth has been
wronged on account Of this statement, I
wish to extend an apology to him
through the columns Of your paper.
Respectfully,
August Baltzer,
City Engineer.

DEATH RATE LOWER
Quarterly Report of Deaths
in Kenosha County Shows
Improvement This Year.
MANY CASES OF DIpHTHER|A

The regular quarterly report of the
the months of July, August and Sep
TENDER which has been issued shows
that in that period there were a total
of forty-two cases of contagious
diseases reported to the health depart
ment in this county. The report shows
that there were few deaths from any
of these diseases. There were four
teen cases of phthisis; thirteen cases
of diphtheria; six Of typhoid fever,
three Of whooping cough and six of
scarlet fever. There were in the same
period two deaths from typhoid fever,
four from pulmonary tuberculosis, three
from typhoid fever, one from whoop-
ing cough.
The report shows total of one
hundred and two deaths in the county
for the three months. Of this number
forty were of children under the age
of one year; six between the ages of
one and four years, and eighteen were
over sixty-fve years of age. The re
port emphasizes the great infant NOR
tally in Kenosha and it is interesting
to note that this mortality among in
fants is especially high in the southern
tier of counties of the state. 1t is
J
claimed. that to great extent these
deaths among infants have been among
the foreign born and are due largely
to the fact that the members of the
families are ignorant of the proper
care to be given to the children. The
causes of death outside of contagious
diseases were pneumonia four, bowel
complaint among children under two
years of age twelve, meningitis four,
cancer four There were eleven VIC
lent deaths in the county during the
period, this county ranking third in
the list of counties in the southern
district in this regard.
