TELLS STORY OF EXPOSURE.

Joseph Dubrinski, a Somers man, I'M
der arrest charged with failing to sup
port his wife and infant child, is caus-
ing lot of trouble for the district at
torney. Mrs. Dubrinski has told the
attorney story which has few parallels
in the history of Kenosha county. The
woman declared to the attorney that
she and her infant child have been
forced to sleep out in the woods on ac-
count of the failure of the husband to
furnish roof to cover them. The wife
asserts that the husband is able to earn
a good living, but that the most of his
money is spent over the bar. The evil
dence in the case is being considered
by Judge Randall this afternoon and It
is expected that some reconciliation be-
tween the members of the family will
be made and that Dubrinski will be
foiced to take care of his wife and
child in better fashion,

Park Commission Plan to
Place Greenhouse in
West Side Park.
TO AID IN RAISING FUNDS
Commission Will Ask but $500 of City.
Breakwater and Park Plan Consider
cred Impracticable by the Members
of the Commission.

The park commission has given the
plan for the building Of the breakwater
at the north end Of Lake avenue, a
bad setback, for after the members of
the commission had examined into the
property along the lake at this point
they decided that property now in the
lake which the city had planned to ac-
cept in payment for the work of build
ing the breakWater would not be avail
able for park purposes. The board
went into the matter with great care
and it was found that the building of
the breakwater would result in the re-
claiming of only a small strip of land.
The members Of the commission how
ever, have given their hearty sanction
to the plan of protecting the end of the
street and they realize that the work
must be done at once.
The question of the municipal green
house has been thoroughly threshed out
by the commission and the greenhouse
will probably be located in the south
west corner of the west side park. The
commission found upon investigation
that the little park adjoining the north
side engine house would not be large
enough to accommodate the greenhouse
and that it would be next to impossible
to secure heat for such an institution
from the heating plant of the engine
house. The council has appropriated
$500 for the building and equipping of
the greenhouse and the commission has
agreed to raise from other sources any
money that may be needed in excess of
this amount to carry out the plans. 1t
is thought that the greenhouse and the
complete heating plant such as will be
needed will cost in the neighborhood
Of $4,000.
The commissioners had long dis
cussion of plans for the west side park
and the fountain in the center of the
park is proving something of white
elephant. Even if the fountain would
hold water the commissioners fear that
it is so large that the maintenance of
it would be menace on account of the
danger of children drowning in it. 1t
was suggested that the big bowl be
filed with black dirt and used as a
flower garden or that band stand be
built using the fountain as founda-
ton and putting in complete toilet
rooms under the band stand 1t is.
claimed that this plan could be carried
out at small expense and it is not i'm
probable that the plan will be adopted.
The big hill left in the west side
park will be cut down at once and the
dirt secured used for the grading of
other portions of the park.
The city engineer has been ordered
to make plans for the proper draining
of portions of the park by putting in
field tile and this work will be done at
once. City Treasurer Martin Stein
metz has been formally elected to serve
as. treasurer of the commission and all
orders for money will in the future be
paid the same as city orders at the
Office of the city treasurer.

The new navigation law which re-
quires all passenger steamers on the
great lakes to be equipped with Wire
less and to carry two operators, which
goes into effect on October list, will
make travel on the lakes much safer
than it has ever been. The batteries
on all boats must be strong enough to
cover a radius of 100 miles and it is
calculated that with this equipment it
will be impossible for any ship to get
out of touch with wireless station or
another steamer anywhere on the lakes
at any time. At the rate the wireless
stations are being established, most of
them with the most powerful equip
ment it will seldom be necessary to
relay any message from ship to ship.

Stealing Affections Of His Wife.

Alleging that Steve Morgan had

Morgan was brought into court on
Thursday afternoon charged with as
sault and battery. The hearing of the
case was continued pending the loca-
tion of Mrs. Vilke. Morgan at first

WHY TAXES ARE HIGH.
State Official Shows the Increase in
Cost of Running State Institutions.

Answering the question why taxes
are high, L. B. Nagler, assistant secre-
tary of the League of Progressive Re.
publican Newspapers of Wisconsin, has
issued the following statement:
9 In 1910 the people of this state
paid in taxes for county, city village
and town purposes $25,054 ,36o.23. At
the same time they paid into the state
treasury $3,607,929. The state re-.
turned to the county and to the several
schools for educational purposes 3d.
3S7 TIA, and expended the balance for
the university, normal schools, the new
capitol and an addition to the North
ern Hospital for the Insane, not one
cent for actual state government.
"These in round numbers are the
tax figures for 1910 in nutshell. The
people paid in direct taxes $28, $50 900.
The state administration expended ST.
100000 for the purposes above named,
end the several counties, cities, vii
lagos and towns expended $27,44O, 900.
HThe regular state expenses are met
by taxes collected from public service
corporations, inheritances, Office fees.
etc. The state is not responsible not
even remotely-for high taxes

PAPER MONEY TO BE SMALLER.
MacVeagh Practically Reaches Decis
ion to Trim Currency.

The size of all United States cur
rency and national bank notes will be
reduced by one-third and their designs
revolutionized by Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh for the sake of
economy to the government, convent
ence to the public, and safety against
counterfeiting. This decision practi-
cally has been reached by the seere-
tary.
1t is proposed to make the dimen-
sions 6x21a inches. The paper money
now in circulation measures 728 by
3O4.
The designs of all paper money
United States notes and certificates
and national bank notes-would be
systematized and made uniform for
every denomination.

To an intelligent observer the check
ing up of saloons on the outskirts of
the city now going on is the direct re-
suit Of the situation as it has develop
ed in this city. Kenosha is working
under new saloon regulations that are
designed primarily to give equal OPP
portunities to all men in the retail
liquor business andspecial favors to
none. 1t is desirable in every way that
these regulations be continued in full
force and effect. That being the case
all saloons on the outskirts Of the
city which are but short distance
from the saloons within the limits and
which draw their patronage largely
from the city should be forced to con-
form to practically the same regula-
tions as those within the limits. It is
not fair to permit saloon that is but
a block or so from one within the
limits across purely imaginary line, to
run wide open, while the city saloon
is subjected to regulations which inter.
fere with fair competition with it's
rival just outside. Therefore as there
is no intention of permitting any lax
enforcement of the regulations within
the city, the saloon men outside may
just as well make up their minds to
conform to them also. The present
proceedings are probably inspired by
the bloody fight which took place out
side of one Of the saloons long after
closing hours, but they may be con-
strued by the outside saloon men as a
hint that it will be easier and much
cheaper to conduct their business in
the future along the lines laid down
for the regulation of the saloons lust
across the line within the city limits.
They will not find these regulations
especially burdensome as they meet
with the full approval of most of the
saloon men in the city
The city is not directly interested in
many law suits at present, but enough
actions in which the city is in a way
party are being fled in the different
courts to Keep the city attorney fairly
busy. The increase in the work of the
legal department of the city is keeping
pace with the growth in every other
department.

PLAN GREAT REUNION.
Old Settlers Expect to Have the Big
gest Gathering in History.

FINAL arrangements are being COM
pleted today for the annual reunion of
the Old Settler s Club of Kenosha
County to be held at Paddock's Lake
on Aug. 20, and the committee in
charge is planning to make this gather
ing the biggest thing of the kind ever
held IN the county. All of the big
features of the programs of other years
will be included this year. There will
be the usual display of photographs of
the old time residents, the ball game
will be on in the afternoon and there
will be the annual pioneers dance in
the evening. The annual address will
be delivered by the Hon. James Cav
anagh of Kenosha. Politics will be
tabooed on the platform at the reunion
as in other years but as the gathering
comes less than week before the pri-
mary it is certain that the candidates
for nominations will be very much in
evidence during the day.

The Milwaukee avenue property
owners have decided to take their
chances in court without waiting for
any appeal to the state railroad com
mission and some of them have filed
suit to enjoin the company from using
their street for the operation of the
big cars. This case is one in which
the whole people of the city are inter

made to have the hearing as soon as
possible. The case promises to be q
long drawn out one at the best before
any final decision is reached, as if it
is fought to finish it must go to the
