GoTTLIEB HEARING ON.
United States Court Making an Effort
to Unravel Business Dealings.

Many Kenosha people went to Mil
waukee this morning to appear in the
United States court as witnesses in
the examination Of William Gottlieb,
who recently filed petition in bank
ruptcy. The examination that is being
made into the case promises to be a
thorough one and it was stated that
Mr.. Gottlieb himself would not take
the stand today, but the evidence of
others, including the creditors of the
bankrupt, will be heard. The work of
appraising the stock in the People 5
Dry Goods store was completed some
time ago and this showed stock valu-
ed at $4,000. No order has been is
sued by the court to provide for the
disposal Of the stock for the benefit
of the creditors.

ORDINANCE ION The TABLE"
Police, However, Are Getting New Or
ders to Curb Enthusiasm Of Skaters
and Ordinance May BE Taken up by
Council Later in the Summer.

A formal ordinance to prohibit roll
er skating on the sidewalks of Keno
sha is "fon the table" of the COM
mon council and it is expected that
during the next two weeks efforts will
be made to have the common council
agree to take up this matter and pass
some ordinance for the regulation Of
the use of the sidewalks by the skat-
ers. The ordinance reached the coun-
Gil just at the close of the record
breaking meeting of Monday evening
and it was promptly laid on the table
without dissenting vote. The ordi-
nance provides that any person guilty
of using roller skates on the sidewalk
of the city will be fined So and costs
for each offense.
The ordinance came as a result of
the great number of complaints that
have been filed with the members of
the council, but the aldermen were
slow to take up the matter and it is
declared that they are still unwilling
to prevent the children having the
pleasures of skating on the sidewalks.
In some places it is admitted that the
use Of the walks by skaters is a
nuisance and positive damage to the
property owners. The attention of the
police has been called to these con-
ditiors and the officers have beer in
structed to curb the enthusiasm OF
the skaters.
1T is not the children that is caus-
ing the trouble said Police Chief
Q Hare in discussing the matter to-
day, cit is the men and women. These
people seem to take delight in Great
ing trouble for pedestrians. Young
women and men seem to wholly disre-
gard the rights of others on the walks
in their enthusiasm over skating. Of
fcers of the department have made an
effort t. force these people to recog-
nize the rights of others. There has
not been great deal of trouble over
/. the small children using the walks for
skating and if some ordinance could
be passed putting an age limit on the
skaters using the walks conditions
would be greatly improved"
The police have been ordered to take
especial care of this matter and where
there ara cases of wilful disregard
to the rights of, pedestrians the of
tenders will DC arrested on charges Of
disorderly conduct 1t is thought that
a few arrests and fines on these
charges will soon do away with all the
troubles that the people have com
planned Of.
In the meantime the ordinance will
remain on the table of the council and
should there be more demands for the
regulation of the walks it is probable
that the council will take up the mat
ter again and pass the ordinance now
pending OF some amended ordinance.

MAY PUBLISH LISTS
Tax Commission May Show
up Returns of Income Tax
Statistics Soon.
TO AID ENFORCEMENT OF LAW

Lists may be published of the per-
sons paying income tax, together with
the amount that each person pays.
At least this plan for the publica-
ton Of the lists Of the tax payers is
one of the plans proposed by friends
of the law to lessen the opposition
to the measure.
The idea is that the lists will show
that only between 10 and Is per cent
of the voters have to pay the income
tax and further that it will show them
tax is borne by those people in the
community who are best able to pay
the tax.
It is said although there is nothing
in the law which compels the pub
LEGATION of the tax lists there is moth
ing in the law preventing their pub
LEGATION.
The law prohibits the making public
by the income tax assessors of any in
4
formation obtained by them from the
tax returns in regard to the property
on which the income tax~fs levied It
does not, however, prevent the making
public of the names of the tax payers
and the amount of taxes they pay. 1t
is the claim of the income tax officials
who favor the publication of the tax
lists that a good deal of the feeling
now existing against the law would be
allayed if the list of the people having
to pay income tax should be published,
as it would-show conclusively that the
people in a community least able to
pay the tax were not included in
the tax list.
Opponents of the income tax list
say the publication of the tax lists
would violate the spirit if not the
letter of the law, as it is claimed
very fair estimates Of bushes done
by firms and corporations could be OBJ
tanned by rivals should the amount
of the tax be published.
It is claimed by the income tax Of
fcials that the tax lists are public
property anyway and that anybody
who desires can find the amount of
taxes paid by any person by consult
ing the tax.
It is expected mat the income taxes
win be figured out by some time in,
July and that the tax lists will be
ready by that time. It is the claim
of the income tax officials that
large amount Of revenue will be col
lected under the income tax.

WIN NEW HoNoRs.
Kenosha Maccabees Exemplify Work
of Ritual in Milwaukee Tuesday.

The local hive Of the Ladies Of the
Maccabees Of the World won new lau-
rels for themselves Tuesday afternoon
at the district rally held at the juneau
Hall Auditorium in Milwaukee. The
Kenosha afficers and guard team were
invited to take part in the exelnplica
ton of the new rituahstic work be-
fore the supreme hive officers. The
guard team, under the direction of
Captain Lauretta Dibble, has the dis
tinction and honor Of being the young
estdegree team in the state. The raj
ly was under the direction of the
supreme commander Miss Bina NJ.
West of Port Huron, Mich, and state
commander, Miss Harriet Olsen of
Oshkosh, Wis. These officers were very
loud in their praise Of the work that
the Kenosha hive has been doing. A
class Of over one hundred candidates
from the various hives represented
were given the second degree. At the
close of the afternoon session the SUI
preme commander gave a short talk on
the growth and financial standing of
the order. 1t is the fraternal bene-
fciary organization of women in the
world and is composed Of and eontroll-
ed only by women. The total member
ship is now over 10000 with 5000 Of

per was served to about eight hundred
delegates.

FIRE DEPARTMENT IS RESTING.
Not Single Call for the Department in
the Past 10 Days.


A new record has been established for
the Kenosha fire department. for there
has not been a single call for the serv-
ices of the department in the past Is
days. The telephone has not rung and
there have been no still alarms and not
even a grass fire has been, found to
break the monotony of the life of the
members of the department. The big
red automobile has been kept ready for
instant service until the firemen have
begun to be disguised at the routine
work of trying things out with moth
ing doing. Chief Isermann attributes
the quiet season for the department to
the recent cleaning up day and gives
this as real argument in favor of the
observance of Prevention Day" in
the future.

MANY REFORMS BEING URGED
Members Of Local Club Urge that Peo-
pie Coming from Other Cities Be
Given Fair and Courteous Treatment
by Police Officers of the City.

mobile Club are planning to formally
unite with the state organization of
automobile owners and before the end
of the week the Kenosha organization
will gets its charter as a member of
| the state club The membership com
mittee Of the Kenosha club has been
busy in the past month and already
one hundred and sixty paid up mem
bers have been secured. The organi-
cation now has good working CAPT
tai and it plans to do considerable
work during the year to make things
better for the users and owners of
| the automobiles.
The work Of putting up road signs
| in the county will be started within
condition of the club will not warrant
| the opening Of a club house or club
rooms this year it is probable that
some convenient rooms will be secur-
| ed in the down town district which
| will be used as headquarters of the
club for the reception of visiting au-
tomobile tourists.
The union Of the Kenosha club with
the state organization will make it
| possible for the members Of the Ke-
nosha club to have the privileges of
use of the homes of other clubs con-
tnected with the state organization i'll
various parts of the state and especial
ly in Milwaukee. The cost of member
ship in the state organization is but
| $100 for each member.
| The members Of the local club have
taken up the matter of. the arrest of
visiting automobile owners and they
have urged that the same clemency
be shown to these people in the en-
| forcement Of the speed limit laws as
is shown to Kenosha drivers. The
members Of the club assert that they
are favorable to the enforcement of
all reasonable laws for the governing
of the automobiles, but they insist that
no partiality be shown and that the
Kenosha man who breaks the Law be
treated just the same as the man who
comes in from another city or state.
The road committee of the club is
laying plans to make formal demand
upon the county board at the Novem-
Der session for the enforcement of the
state law providing for the erection
Of signs at road intersections. This
| is being done in many of the counties
in the state and with the start made
| by the club members it is thought that
! the county board can be brought to
see the necessity Of q. complete COM
pliance with the laws. The cost of
putting signs at every road intersec-
ton will probably amount to con
siderable amount, but with the i'm
provement of the roads the amount
will be well spent.
The directors of the automobile club
are planning to add some special feat
ures in the near future in the way of
club runs from Kenosha to surround
! ing cities and it is possible that plans
may be made for q large party of Ke-
nosha automobile fans to 60 to Indi
annapolis next week to attend the great
race to be held on the speedway there.

Regarding the Case.

Martin, Tenn.-Mrs. Gennie Scott.
Of this city, says: "For years, I was
troubled, more or less, with womanly
troubles. Sometimes I would have
shortness Of breath, and smothering
spells. I tried several doctors, but
they only gave me temporary relief.
At last I tried Cardui, the woman's
tonic, and found it to be the medicine
suiting my case. I was quickly re-
lieved by it, and now, for. the first
time in years, am very we'll, and
enjoy good health.
I praise Cardui for these good re-
suits. I recommend the medicine to
my friends, because know 1t Is
good, safe and reliable. It helped
me wonderfully, and I can Faithfully
say that Cardui is the best medicine I
have ever TAKEN
Be sure that Cardui. the woman's
tonic, will bring you help, If you will
use 1t regularly, and for reasonable
length of time.
You know you can depend on Car
dui, because you have read Of so
many who are enthusiastic in it's
praise. Cardui has stood the test OF
time, the supreme test of merit.
Cardui Is successful 1t has been
found to relieve womanly pain and
build up womanly strength. Try Car

TOO EXCITING FOR CROKER
Ex-Tammany Chief, Like So Many
Others, Succumbed to the Fasc-
nation of Stevenson.

The ideas of Richard Croker do not
run on bookish lines Regretting this
circumstance and considering that a
taste for literature, once inculcated,
might be source of pleasure in his
advanced years, a journalistic friend
who crossed the Atlantic with the one
time chieftain Of Tammany hall not
long ago cornered him in the steam
ships library one evening and OBJ
tanned a reluctant permission to read
Treasure Island" to him.
Much to his friends encourag ent,
Mr.. Croker listened with unfeigned in
terest until the lights went out and
apparently enjoyed the narrative Of
the exciting events Of John Morgan,
Billy Bones, Black Dog, John Silver
and the others. Wherefore, finding
Mr.. Croker in the library the next
evening, the journalist again pro-
duced his volume of Stevenson and
drew up chair. But the one-time
Tammany chieftain lifted a protesting
hand.
Don't read that book to me any
more he said. 81 couldn't get to
sleep last night for thinking about

MEETS DEATH IN WIRE FENCE
Wealthy Pennsylvania, Unable to
Free Himself, Freezes, While
Friends Search.

Pottsville, Pa.-Too weak to free
himself from a barbed wire fence that
held him captive on a mountain three
miles from here, Louis Stoffregen, 80
years old, a wealthy resident of Potts
VILE, was frozen to death. While his
body was swaying about in the wind
hundreds of friends searched the val
ley below.
Mr.. Stoffregen left home In the after
noon to take walk. He apparently
climbed the mountain, and was held
fast when his clothing caught in a
barbed wire fence. The aged man
was probably exhausted by the long
climb. and his feeble shouts were lost
in the rush of the wind.
Friends started the search when he
failed to reach home at dark. State
policemen WIN had been called in
climbed the mountain and found the
body.
