GET NEW STATUTES.
County Clerk Notified New
Volume of State Laws
Will be Issued Soon.
FIFTY FOR KENOSHA COUNTY

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning received notice from W. l..
Eastman of Madison, Keeper of Public
Property of the state announcing that
a new set of the statutes of the state
would be ready for delivery early in
January. This will be he first set of
the statutes to be issued since 1898
and the old ones have become so out
| of date that the announcement will
be hailed with delight by attorneys
and in fact everyone connected with
the courts of the county and state.
The statutes are now bound in sim
gle volume and the new volume is sup
posed to contain every law Of the
state. It includes not only the laws
passed by recent Legislatures but also
a reprint of all laws passed in former
years with the amendments to them
properly placed. The new volumes
are not annotated but the index is
said to be the best ever made for a
set of Wisconsin laws. Five years ago
the legislature employed an expert to
begin a revision of the laws and he
has been busy until short time ago.
Kenosha county will receive free
from the state some fifty copies of the
new statutes and every official of the
county, each court and justice shop,
and each town clerk will be entitled
to receive copy of them. In addition
to this there will be provision for
free copies for the judges of courts of
record.
The state will in the near future
offer the statutes for sale to attorneys
and oilers not directly connected with
the official families of the various dis
tricts in the state.
The 1898 statutes which have been
in use for more than IA years will
then go into the discard. Frequent
errors have been made by officials on
account of the fact that many of the
old statutes had been amended and
the new laws published after eacl ses
sion of the legislature have been got
ten up in such way that it would
be almost impossible for person with
limited knowledge of the law to figure
out just which of the statutes had
been amended.
1t is said that several companies
are now at work making annotations
Of the new statutes and some of thesa
companies will probably have their
works ready early in the new year.

came the bride of Harry c. Thompson,
also Of Somers, Rev. Rollins, district

Church, from Milwaukee, officiating,
The Barrows home was eharmingly

Commission Form Petitions
Again in Circulation
in Kenosha.
TRY OUT NON PARTISAN LAW
Many Officials to be Elected on Nom
Partisan Ticl-ets at Coming City and
County Elect ons Present Officials
to Seek Reelection.

Petitions asking for the submission
of the question of the adoption of the
commission form of government are
again in circulation in Kenosha and it
is thought that at this time suffi-
cient number of signatures Will be Sc
cured to have the matter submitted
to the people. The leaders in the
fight have no desire to disturb the
present administration and it is pos
sible that the petitions will never be
presented if the new non-partisan law
proves successful. The law is expect
ed to have a try out at the coming
city election but city attorneys in var
ious parts of the state are holding that
the law does not apply to cities of
the third class. City Clerk Harring-
ton is planning to have this question
submitted to the City Attorney for a
ruling. The intent of the legislators
was to have the non-partisan law ap-
ply to all parts of the state and it is
pretty certain that this will be the
holding Of the Attorney General The
coming spring election in Kenosha
county will be one worthy of lot of
interest In addition to the election
of the usual number of aldermen,
school commissioners and other minor
officials Of the city the people of the
county will vote on the election of
judges. There will be a Judge of the
Municipal Court to succeed Judge G.
E. Randall, Judge of the County
Court to succeed Judge George w.
Taylor. The term Of Judge E. B.
Belden as Judge Of the Circuit Court
for the First Wisconsin circuit does
not expire until 1914. Out in the
county the voters will have the cleo
ton Of Superintendent of Schools
but the city voters will not vote in
this election. The city voters will,
lOW6FO1, NUbC Uil bu6 pGl6CbIUn VI d
State Superintendent. All of these ell
ections will be Of the non-partisan
nature. It is expected that both
Judge Randall and Judge Taylor and
County Superintendent John J. Ker-
win will be candidates for reelection.
These officials have served the people
of the county with such unusual abil-
ity that it is not thought that there
will be any serious opposition to
either Of them.
The bringing of the non-partisan
idea into the election in the city will
make a big difference in the conduct
of the campaign. Many of the old
time candidates will be in the running
again in the spring but they will be
forced to make the race without the
aid of party organizations. It is
thought that the non-partisan law will
have the effect of getting better men
for the various offices.

sOMERS BAKER MISSING.
Efforts Made to Get Some Trace of
CT. Mogensen Who DISAPPEARED Sunday.

Prominent men of the village of
Somers came to Kenosha this morning
and asked the sheriff and the local
police to make an effort to get some
trace Of Gus Mogensen, baker in
Somers, who disappeared from the
town on last Sunday night or early
Monday morning. Mogensen was in
charge of a general store and bakery
and he is said to have left debts to
the amount of over 5000. J. B. Wirtz
was security on one of the notes sign
ed by the missing baker and on last
Monday evening Writ received the
key to the store. 1t had been mailed
from Kenosha. Mogensen had been in
business in Somers for the past year
and was supposed to have been pros
porous. Men interested declare that
the stock in the store would be suf-
ficient to meet all claims against the
missing man and for this reason they
can not find the reaon for his sudden
departure. The sheriff will make an
Investigation. No warrants for the ar
rest of Mogensen have been issued and
there was no formal complaint in the
matter made in the courts.

Kenosha Life Savers Go to
Their Homes in Other
Cities for Winter.
NOW HAVE A MODERN PLANT
Completion Of bungalow Home for Cap
tain Assures His Presence During the
Entire Winter Season has Been an
uneventful One for Life Savers.

The Kenosha Life Saving Station
has been closed for the season and
many of the members Of the crew have
gone to their homes in other cities
to spend the winter months. The sta
ton proper viii remain closed until
the first day of April Of next year
but Captain Frank Fountain and one
of his men will remain on duty during
The entire winter.
During the season just closed the
government has made many improve
mepts at the local station and the
building of home for the captain
within few feet Of the station has
brought the local holdings of the gov
eminent to the place where it is con-
sidered a modern plant, Captain
Fountain will be subject to call at any
time during the winter and ne has a
long waiting list of men from which
a volunteer crew can be called in case
there is any need for their services.
Lake navigation is practically at an
end and the last up-bound vessel is
expected to pass through the straits
today. The daring mariners who sail
the lake during the winter months
take their own chances but under the
new rule the government will make
provisions to look after these vessels.
The season at the station has been
one of the most uneventful in the his
tory Of the Kenosha station. There
has not been a marine disaster within
twenty miles of the local station.
There was the usual number of cases
where boats were in distress but in
no case were the members of the
crews near death. The members of the
crew have recovered a number of bod
les from the lake during the season
and several times they have gone out
to bring in small row boats The us
ual drills provided for by the govern
ment have been held and the usual
patrol of the beach both north and
south has been maintained. IT is pos
sible that the new season will result
in the territory now covered by the
Kenosha crew being considerably de-
creased as strenuous efforts are being
made to secure the building of life
saving station at Waukegan. This
matter has been under consideration
for several years and it is, said that
the government is now considering
the purchase of site at Waukegan
with the plan Of erecting station
there early in the coming season. For
years Waukegan and the territory d.
rectly north Of it has been a part of
the territory Of the Kenosha station.
There is small station at the Naval
Training School but this is a station
for instruction rather than for the
routine work of guarding the lake
shore. At Evanston station is main
tainod by the students of Northwest
err University and the men at this
point work up as far north as Wau-
kegan.

from Mendoza Held in County Jail.

- LANES supposed TO Have Escaped

A man evidently sixty years Of age
and supposed to be ~. Lines was
picked up by the police on Thursday
evening and he is now being held
pending orders from the Wisconsin
State Board of Control The clothing
worn by the man indicates that he has
escaped from some of the state insti-
buttons for the insane. He had evil
IDENTITY been out but short time as
his clothing was new and clean. It
was supposed that the old man had
escaped from Racine, but the officials
at the Racine asylum claim that no
one is missing from that institution.
The man is feeble and he is unable to
give any account of himself. Tele-
grams We're sent to the various insti-
buttons this morning and it is expect

NEW INSTITUTIONS NEEDED
Local Officials Join With State Board
of Control in Effort to Show Legis-
lature Need of a Reform Institution
for Women of the State.

Acting under the direction OF the
state board of control statistics have
been prepared by the municipal judge
and the chief Of police showing condi
tions in Kenosha, in relation to the ar
rest Of women for the various ofenses
known to the state law and the sta
tistics so prepared are to be used by
the state board in an appeal to the
legislature for the enactment of a law
providing for the establishment OF q
special reform institution for women
The establishment Of sucn an insti
tuition has been strongly urged by the
officials of this city and county and il
is said that the demand for such aI
institution is badly felt here. At the
present time there are but two places
open to women One is the state pri
son at Waupun and the other the Tn
dustriaI Home in Milwaukee. Some OF
the women are not suited for either
of these institutions and there has beer
a repeated demand for some other In
stitution. Judge Randall was one OF
the first Of the jurists of the state tx
take up this question of place fol
the proper care of erring women ano
on several occasions he has appeared
before the state board Of control ana
committees Of the legislature urging
the opening of an institution similar
to the state reformatory for men al
Green Bay.
The records of this county covering
the period of nine months from Janu
airy ], 1912 to September LIST, show
that about two per cent of the tota
prisoners brought into the municipal
court are woman and girls. In moss
cases minor offenses are charged
against them. The records show that
in the nine months twenty-fv women
and girls were arrested in Kenosha
Of this number six were charged with
crimes under the law as felonies and
the other nineteen were charged witt
misdemeanors. Here is the catalogue
Of the arrests
For assault and battery s; using
abusive language 3; petty larceny 2;
fornication g.; embezzlement i; adul
terry 2; incest forgery inducing
a female to become a prostitute 7. Oh
Of the twenty-five arrested nine were
discharged, fifteen convicted on the
charge alleged and in one case sent
ence was suspended. Three Of the
number were arrested twice. Two Of
the number were sent to the industrial
school and one TO the state prison al
Waupun.
The Associated Charities has beer
Of great value in finding way to dis
pose OF these cases and many of the
girls picked up by the police have beer
parolled by the court to this institu
ton. In most cases the organization
has found work for the girls and ha.
been instrumental in leading them in
to useful lives.
The bill providing for The new insti
tuition for women is now being drawn
and a copy of it will be sent to all The
courts Of the state before it is pre-
sented to the legislature.
