Makes Application for Position

John f. Herzog, of the town of Som
ers,member of the County Board from
that town this morning made formal
to the board for the ap-
polntment Of Highway Commissioner
for the county. Supervisor Herzog has
had considerable experience in the
building of roads and has been very act
i've IN the board work relating to high
ways. His application for the position
has the support of number of the
members of the board, and it is not
improbable that he will be the favorite
when the board members begin ballot
ing for successor to John G. Williams.
The county members of the board are
anxious to secure man who has had
experience with the building of roads
in rural districts rather than an en-
gineer who viii be forced to follow
theories of road building.

RECEIVERsHIP FOR ROAD.

Fox Lake and Lake Geneva Road is
Placed in the Hands Of Receiver.
The Fox Lake and Lake Geneva
Railway Company, which some time
ago figured on building q line in Ike
nosha county to connect with some Of
the lake districts of the county, has
gone into the hands Of receiver.
Judge Kavanagh in Chicago on Friday
issued an order naming f. b. Bronder
of Franklin Park as receiver Cor the
company and for the Wisconsin Con-
struction Company which was in charge
of the building of the line. The charge
was that the officers of the company
were dissipating the funds Of the COM
pany through stock sales. Little
actual construction work has been
done by the company and most of the
money expended has been for right Of
way purchased.

on BISHOP
State Senator From District
Hurried to Chicago for
Operation on Friday
HAS ONLY FIGHTING CHANCE

State Senator 1. 7. Bishop of Som
ers, has been taken to Chicago where
an operation will be performed upon
him with the object of removing one
of the vertabrae from his neck. As
the result of a railroad accident,
which occurred on December II, 1911,
at Corliss, Mr.. Bishop was seriously
injured but recovered Sufficiently to
move about. His neck became dis
torted and stiff as a result of the
crushing of one of the vertabfae and
the operation which he is to undergo
will probably either result in his com
plete recovery or in his death.
Senator Bishop was riding in one of
the day coaches of the train when the
wreck occurred nearly two years ago.
Several people died as the result of
the collision and for some time his.
life was despaired of. He was con-
fined in a hotel in Corliss for several
months, but finally recovered sufficient
ly to leave his bed. His neck, how.
ever, became deformed from a blow
received in some manner in the
accident.
Every effort has been made to bring
relief and to straighten the member,
but none has been successful and the
operation is to be performed as the
last resort. Whether or not it will be
successful is not known, but several
eminent surgeons who are to perform
the operation assert that the senator
will have fair chance at recovery.
When Senator Bishop was in Keno
sha few days ago his condition was
such as to cause grave alarm among
his friends ard they urged him to 90
at once to hospital. The senator had
hoped to be able 10 avoid AN opera ton
and for this reason his trip to the hos
pital was delayed.

STANDS BY His REPORT
Engineer Lenth Ready to Defend His
Figures in Court if Necessary

G. D. Lenth of Chicago, Chief En-
gineer of the Sanitary District of Cook
county who acted as an expert for the
city of Kenosha, in figuring up the bill
of extras for the trunk sewer was IN
Kenosha on Friday and held a confer
ence with Aldermen Joseph G. Rhode
and N. j. Werner, members of the
special committee and declared that he
was ready to stand on the figures he
had given the city even IN court. He
declared that he had figured the amount
which would be due the Cleary, White,
Newman company with a great deal of
care and for the most part on cost fgu-
res furnished from the books of the COM
pany. The report of Engineer Stern
sent to the council by the contractors
has been turned over to Mr.. Lenth, and
he will render a written opinion to the
council on this report. 1t is probable
that this report will be ready for con-
sideration at the next meeting of the
council.

KEEP STATION OPEN
Life Savers Not to Give up
Their Work on the Last
Day of November
NO DATE SET FOR CLOSING

The local life savers will again be
on duty longer than the scheduled time
this year according to present indi-
cations.
For despite the fact that Dec. l, the
usual time at which stations on the
Great Lakes are closed for the winter,
is less than two weeks away, notice
of the time for closing has not yet
been received. It is always the Gus
tom of the government to give the
crews at least two weeks notice ahead
of the time Of closing, so it is a GER
tainty that the local station will not
go out of commission for the year I'M
til about December 18th.
Last year the life savers were on
duty until after January 1.
This closing at later time than u.s.
ual is brought about by the pleasant
weather which is being experienced,
and which causes vessel owners to keep
their craft in commission. As long as
the weather permits vessels to operate,
the government is supposed to keep
life savers on hand to furnish pro-
lection.
The crew at the local station this
year is the same as last, and is com
posed Of seven men, without counting
the captain. It was expected that The
equipment at the station this year
would be strengthened by. the arrival
Of long promised surf boat, but this
did not arrive.
Captain Fountain said this morning:
''The season has not been busy one
for the members of the crew, but the
government is showing q willingness
to offer longer protection to shipping
on the lakes. We have had no orders
in regard to closing and the members
Of the crew will remain just as long
as the government demands. This same
po1cy is being adopted all along the
lake shore and at nearly every port
the life savers are. being given at least
another month in service. The look
out viii be maintained during this OK
ira lime the same as during he reg
ular season.
An examination of the log of the
station indicates that great deal of
the real strenuous work of the life saw
ing crew comes after the first Of No
vember and it is possible that the gov
eminent may change the time for open
ing the stations in order to provide for
keeping them open during the extra
month. The date set for the opening of
the stations in the spring is the first
Of April but usually shipping on the
lakes does not start until fifteen days
later.

The report on rural schools says
more definitely that the county super
intendent is responsible to no one who
can judge his efficiency and that his
responsibility to the electorate can be
evaded through the usual methods of
"politics. He fails to condemn peo-
pie for failure to provide decent school
ard equipment because those people
would oppose his reelection. "The
greater the need for vigorous action"
says the report, "the more dangerous
it is for the county superintendent to
do his duty"
The report points out that the super
vision of schools by county superin-
tendents is hopelessly inadequate, that
the unrestricted power to certificate
teachers, held by the county superin-
tendent is source of great weakness,
That the salaries are insufficient, that
the enforcement of the truancy law is
not effective, a systematic use is not
made of records in supervising schools,
attendance and teachers.
TO remedy this situation the state
board of publ caffairs recommends
The creation of county board of ed
ucation and the appointment by this
board of county superintendent to
assist this board in selecting county
superintendent, il is recommended
that liberal state aid be granted, so
that more attractive salaries be offer
ed. 1t is further recommended that
professional certifcation of superin-
tendents be adopted. The words of
the report are:
/. That the county boards of edu-
cation be elected at the general school
election; to consist of three members
to serve six years; to serve without
salaries; to appoint the county super
intendent from an approved list made
Up by the civil service commissions; 10
control county schools of agriculture
and county training schools for teach
ers; to pass upon the Capitalization of
school districts; to advise the superin-
tendent to withhold state aid from
small and inefficient schools whenever
IN its Judgment the facts warrant it;
TO appoint an assistant to the county
superintendent whenever the number
OF teachers in his district exceeds
eighty.
2. That state aid be given to county
boards of education to assist in the
proper maintenance of the Office of
county superintendent on condition
that; an adequate salary is paid to
the county superintendent; an efficient
clerk is appointed; the county superin-
tendent demonstrates efficiency to the
state department of public instruc.
ton"

FIRE AT BLATz DEPOT.
Burning Grass Causes Damage to Beer
Depot on West Side of City.

The carelessness of a pedestrian re-
suited in the depot of the Blatz Brew
ing Company on Ridge street being
damaged by fire Friday afternoon and
the damage will amount to more than a
hundred dollars. Some one passing
the vacant lot. adjoining the building
threw cigar stump or burning
match into the dry grass and the
flames rapidly spread to the falls of
the beer depot. The department put
out the blaze in short order but before
it was extinguished the walls had been
badly scorched and it will probably be
necessary to rebuild them. Chief lser-
mann urges that smokers be q little
more careful where they throw burn
ing matches and cigar stumps.

Signed) Francis E. McGovern,

The Life Saving Stations are not to
be closed up so long as any great mum
Der of vessels on the great lakes keep
in service and the late fall will keep
the men on duty a month longer than
usual this year. The changing seasons
are forcing the government to change
its schedule and provision will have to
be made either to begin later in
spring or to make an approprla-
ton to add month to the term of en-
listment. Vessel owners have been late
in starting in the spring, but most of
them are wiling to take a chance in the
fall and the crews cannot be withdrawn
just at the time when the records show
that they are most needed.

One might think on examining the
income tax returns that no one out in

them to turn up the incomes. The
salaried man is the only one for whom
there is absolutely no escape.
