Total number votes cast 900 Of which 20 blanks
For President of the United States

hibition candidate. Eliminating the
few votes that may have been cast as
"jokes" both Of these candidates re-
ceived much larger support than is
accorded to them proportionately in
the vote of four years ago. This is
partly accounted for by men in Repub-
hcan ranks, who declined to give their
support for either Roosevelt or Taft
and many of the ballots marked for
Debs and Chain showed votes for
McGovern and Pfennig lower down on
the ballot
Pfennig and Karel on the total
vote were close together, but Pfenrig
held the lead to the end Of the count.
Many people sought to learn the re-
suit of the vote during the day but the
figures were not given out until the
publication in the news this evening.
To some people the support given to
Roosevelt was q surprise, but the
Roosevelt men claim that he would re.
ceive even larger vote if the poll
had included a greater percentage CT
the men employed in the factories
Taft men declare that they would
have gained strength by this factory
vote.
The Taft men also assert that a LOT
of the foreign vote, and little foreign
vote was included in the poll, would
show much larger vote for the presi.
dent. 1t is admitted that many of the
voters among the foreign population
in Kenosha are not friendly to the
Democratic candidate.
The Evening News is entirely salts
| fed with the result of the poll and as
! formerly stated will be pleased to pro.
vide ballots Cor votes in the factories
in the city if the managers of these
plants show willingness to make
such canvass. The result of the
straw vote is not supposed to be in
falible, but it is simply the sentiment
OF some seven hundred people picked
at random in the city and it is not
improbable that it will be straw tc
point to the possible outcome of the
election which is to be held a month
from next Tuesday.

MADE A NEW SURVEY
Experts for Cleary White
Newman Co. Make Trip
Over Sewer on Friday.
TO CHECK CITY's FIGURES

Another expert engineer made an
examination of the Kenosha trunk
sewer with the idea of determining
just how much excavation work had
been done by the Cleary, White, New
man Company on Friday afternoon
when M. Stearns of Chicago "a con-
sulting engineer, came to the city and
went over the work for the contract
ing company. He was accompanied in
the inspection by George Healey, the
engineer for the company and City
Engineer August Baltzer. Tt was
stated that the company had secured
the services of Stearns with view of
checking the report recently made to
the city by Engineer G. D. Lenth Of
Chicago. The Lenth report fails to
check with that of Healev. The en-
giLeer for the contractors figured the
amount of extra excavation at more
than 1880 yards while the report of
the city expert placed the amount at
$500. 1t is declared by the city en-
gineer that the examination made on
Friday showed that the profile was
just about the same as the one made
by Engineer Lenth for the city. The
report of Stearns is to be made to the
contractors at once and it is possible
that it will aid in bringing compromise
Of the bill for extra work. Tt is pos
sible that the company will suggest
that an average be struck between the
report of the two engineers and that
q settlement be made on this basis.
This plan does not meet with the sup
port of some of the members of the
street assessment committee and these
men insist on the city holding to The
original figures furnished by Engineer
Lenth.

TOTAL REACHES ABOUT $4,000
Last Quarter of the Year Shows the
Largest Receipts in the History of
the Local oflce-Base Demand for
More Help on Report for Year.

That the postal receipts Of the Ken
osha post office increased nearly $10,
600 in the fiscal year ending on the last
of August is shown by the report Of
Assistant Postmaster NJ. T. Zens which
has just been prepared and which Will
be forwarded to the Post Master Gen
eral in support of the requst made by
the Kenosha office for more clerks and
carriers to handle the steadily increas-
ing business. During the last few
months the business of the Office has
been growing in leaps and bounds and
the receipts for the summer quarter
totaling more than $4,000 has broken
all ferme- records for this period in
Kenosha. In only two months during the
year has there been falling Of in the
postal receipts and in these months the
falling off was shown to be very small
one. The increases over the former
year is shown to have been large for
the ten months. The office has been a
most profitable one for the Government
and in the three months just closed
the Government had profit from the
Kenosha Office of $9,993.29 this being
the largest profit ever shoWa for the
government in a single three month IS
period. The expenses Of maintaining
the Kenosha office are close to $4,000
a quarter and with the large business
now being done the officials here be-
lieve that the government will see the
necessity Of increasing the force in the
Office. The total cost of handling the
distribution of mail in Kenosha during
the three months period is shown to
have been but Sd, 882.65 or one fourth Of
the postal receipts Of the Office. The
government expects TO make profit out
Of all the frst-class Offices and it is said
that the profit from Kenosha will com
pare favorably with that earned by any
city Of the same population in the
United States. The receipts of the
other departments Of the Office have
been largely increased during the year
but the figures in connection with the
money order receipts will not be given
out until the end of the fiscal year of
the department. in June Of next year.
The receipts for the year ending in
August compared with those Of the
| former year follow:

MUST SETTLE CLAIMS FIRST.
Sewer Contractors Agree With Officials
to Seek Settlement at Once.

sewer CONTAGIOUS agree with Olac1alS
to Seek Settlement at Once.
The city officials gave an ultimatum
to the Ceary, White Newman Com
pany on Tuesday afternoon when at a
conference between M. e. White of the
company, Mayor Head and City Engin-
eer BaItzer, the contractors were in
formed that the city would consider
no proposition for settlement or al
low any more money on the sewer
until claims made by property owners
for damages Were settled. In order to
further such a settlement it was
agreed that the city engineer should
make a trip over the route of the sew
er with Peter Fisher the attorney for
the contractors and show the extent
Of damages and make some sugges-
tions as to settlement Of these claims.
The contractors believe that they will
be able to get all these claims cleaned
up in the next tw weeks and
in order to give them this chance
the street assessment committee will
make no report to the council at its
meeting Monday night; At that time
Peter Fisher the Attorney for the CON
tractors will appear and ask an ex-
tension of two weeks for the settle
ment and it is said that there is some
reason to believe that compromise be-
tween the contractors and the city will
be reached by that time.

GETS 5000 FROM CITY
Jury in Personal Injury
Case Gives Mrs. Anna
English $500.
CITY Will APPEAL THE CASE

The jury which heard the evidence
in the suit Of Mrs. Anna English
against the city of Kenosha, who
claimed damages of $4,000 against the
city for injury on an alleged defective
sidewalk, returned a verdict just after
four O'Clock Friday afternoon award
ing the defendant damages to the
amount of $500. All of the questions
Of the special verdict were properly
answer, but the amount Of the damages
allowed by the jury came as a sur
prise.
The contention Of the city has been
that the walk on which Mrs. English
fell was not defective from legal
standpoint and in this contention the
city will take the case to the supreme
court if necessary. After the verdict
had been returned City Attorney John
g. Slater moved to have the verdict
set aside and a verdict entered in fav-
or of the city. Arguments on the mo-
tion will be heard just as soon as the
evidence in the case is written up.
The city's contention is that such
suits should not be compromised on
account Of the precedent set by such
action. The English case was care
fully considered by the claims commit
tee before the claim of Mrs. English
was turned down by the council. At
torney Calvin Stewart, who was city
attorney at the time, advised the COM
mittee that there was no legal claim
against the city for the injuries Of
Mrs. English. The committee follow
ing the advice of the attorney refus-
ed to recommend any settlement Of
the case to the council even against
adverse criticism on the part of some
of the members Of the body. They
held that the matter of the legal
claim should be established in the
courts. City Attorney Slater took the
same view of the case as his predeces-
sor and he advised the committee
against making any settlement, It is
probable that the case will go to the
supreme court and the attorney for
the city seems certain that favor
able decision for the city will be re.
ceived in that court.

RECORDS ORDERED OPENED
Commission Holds That Under The Law
All Assessments and Tax Rolls Must
be Opened Sooner or Later and This
is Regarded as the Accepted Time.

A considerable tempest in teapot
has developed in some circles in re-
gard to the publication Of portions of
the income tax assessment rolls and
it has been contended widely that
there is no right under the law for the
making public of these figures If
there has been any error in the mat
ter, If any one has violated the law
the violation must fall on the should
ers of the Wisconsin State Tax Com
mission as the records of incomes have
been made public at the direct order
of the commission. The formal no.
tice in regard to the making public of
these records which is on file in the
office Of the county clerk is as follows:
To County Clerk:
Whereas, the proper officers of the
several villages and cities of the state
are requored by law during the month
of October of each year to estimate
the amount of money necessary to de-
fray the expenses of their respective
municipalities for the ensuing year,
and to levy tax on the general prop
erty thereof for that purpose and in
SO doing are required to take into con-
sideration the revenues available from
other sources, including the amount TO
be derived under the income tax law,
and,
Whereas, paragraph of section
1887 M "a, provides that the assess
ment and tax rolls and all proceedings
and evidence taken before the county
board Of review shall be open to pub
lie inspection, under such conditions
as the tax commission may direct.
Now Therefore, It is hereby order
ed and directed that all assessment
rolls which have been completed by
the assessors and the board of review
and fled in your office and all tax
rolls as soon as convenient, should be
treated as public records, open to the
inspection of all persons having occa-
sion to consult the same, to the same
extent and in the same manner and
under the same restrictions, as other
public records in your custody. You
are further instructed and directed
not to make public or permit the ex.
animation of any return, exhibit, writ
ing or proceeding in your possession
or custody, relating to the return or
assessment Of income taxes, except
the assessment and tax roll, hereinto-
fore referred TO.

Few Kenosha Greeks to Return to Ma
tive Land to Fight in Balkans War.

Greek papers from New York call
ing on natives of Greece in this
country to return to their native land
to fight in the expected war have been
received by the little colony Of Greeks
in Kenosha, but few if any Of these
men will respond to the call for volun-
teers for the army. Most Of the ma
tives Of Greece in this city are natur-
allied American citizens and while
they are taking deep interest in the
outcome of the war they will not re-
turn to enter tho army. Kenosha has
a colony of fifteen Greeks and most of
them are connected with Main street
stores.
