information concerning the best
means of destruction for the catapil-

damage on Halifax avenue to the
foliage of the scrub oaks and bay
trees, but more especially the latter.
The letter was answered by Prof ].
r. Watson, etomologist, in which
the writer stated that lead arsenate
used with a spray pump would un-
doubtedly kill the caterpillar with
one application used in proportion
of six pounds of paste to so gallons
of water. Prof. Watson further stat
ed that a newer insecticide-zinc ar
semitic, if obtainable, would be more
effective, two pounds of the powder
to so gallons of water. In conclusion
he asked for a number of specimens
of the live caterpillars and the ca
coons as he was interested to know
which of the caterpillar species
caused the present trouble.

LAW IS TOD SEVERE:
Industrial Board is Asked to
Urge Changes i'm Law
on W0mens' Hours
WOMEN FAVOR some CHANCES

The Wisconsin Industrial Commits
sion is willing to remodel the so-called
fifty-fve hours a week for women law
in conformity with the appeals of
the canning manufacturers, the candy
manufacturers and the telephone com
pany managers of the state,
The commission is preparing to
recommend to the legislature that the
law be so amended that in exceptional
instances, and within certain Elnita-
tions, the commission shall be allowed
to have discretion to issue permits Civ
ing employers an opportunity to en-
ploy women for more hours a week
than ffty-fve, and in some instances
and for few days time, for more
hours on a single day than eleven
It is said the commission, on in
vestigation, has decided that in certain
instances the law works hardship
and that it is no more than fair to
manufacturers that they be given
some leeway as to overhours
It is said it is almost impossible for
the pea Gamers to get the necessary
help to comply with the law, while it
is working hardship on other manu-
facturers who at certain rush times
of the year find it absolutely neces-
sary to work some overtime and are
willing to run shorter hours later to
give the women help the necessary
rest to make up for the overtime work.
This is particularly true, it is said, of
the candy manufacturers. According
to the statements of members Of the
commission they have investigated CON
ditions thoroughly before deciding to
ask changes in the law and fnd that
even the women employees favor being
allowed to work overtime for short
periods.
Merchants and other employers of
women in Kenosha have considered
these defects in the law at several
meetings and it is certain that the To-
cal merchants are favorable to some
change in the law which would make
possible longer hours for women in the
stores. They claim that the work in
the stores under the present law is
badly disarranged.

MANY DEATHS FROM VIQl ENCE
Leading Causes for Deaths Show De-
crease in the Three Months and the
Report from all Over the State Indi-
Gates Healthful Conditions for Season.


During July, August and September,
1912, $3.50 deaths were reported to the
state bureau of vital statistics hy the
various local registrars. This is ex-
elusive of stillbirths and represents
an annual death rate for the state of
1898 per 1000 estimated population.
This rate is compared with that Of
11.87 for 1910, and 1857 for 1911, be-
ing considerably lower than both.
This marked decline in the death
rate is due almost entirely to the great
saving in infant life during the sum
mer months, the bureau adds. There
were 273 less deaths among children
under one year of age during the
quarter than for a similar period last
year. This will account for practical
~ all Of the decrease in the number OF
deaths recorded and shows that great
advance has been made in knowledge
Of the care Of young children during
the hot summer months. Deaths OF
children under one year numbered
LIS during the period. An examina-
ton of the causes Of death reveals that
in nearly SO per cent of the cases the
children died as the result of ignorance
regarding proper care and feeding,
Comparison Of deaths from certain
diseases for the third quarter of 1912
with a similar report for 1911 shows an
increase in the number as follows:
Whooping cough 10, meningitis p, in
fuenza 5, puerperal septicaemia, 2.
There was decrease in the deaths
reported from the following diseases:
Pulmonary tuberculosis "a, other forms
of tuberculosis 35, typhoid fever 10,
diphtheria 16, measles 6, pneumonia 80.
cancer 81, violence 9.
Comparing the number OF deaths by
are groups, the report shows decrease
of 273 in the number of children under
one year of age, of 25 in the age group

Members of the Fire Depart
rnent Entertain Elaborate
ly at Annual Feast
CENTRAL BOYS HAVE GUESTS
Members of the Department are Toast
ed by City Officials and Plans for
the Department are Discussed-Gath-
erings are Very Successful this Year.

Members of the Kenosha Fire depart
menf held their annual Thanksgiving
Day feast on Wednesday evening and
there were many merry gatherings at
the various fire houses in the city with
oratory galore and turkey and all the
delicacies of the season served up to
suit the taste of a king.
The most notable of the gatherings
was held at the Central Engine house
where the fremaen of that house had
as their guests many of the city officials
and many of their friends. The long
tables were spread in the big room on
the second floor of the engine house
and they were richly decorated with
plants and flowers. The fremen were
hosts all the way through even to act
ing as walters for the feast. Covers
were laid for fifty people and the
sport which started just after s CLOCK
continued until nearly midnight.
Mayor Head and Chief of the Fire
Department Isermann had the places of
honor at the feast and after the FIVE
course dinner had been served there
was music and speech making for more
than an hour.
Alderman G. f. Stemm, Chairman Of
Fire Department committee of the City
Council acted as Toast Master for the
evening and in introducing the speak
ers he spoke of the work that is planned
for the fire department during the
coming year and in the future years.
He spoke of the need of new engine
house on the northwest side of the city
and a demand for an increase in the
force. Mayor Head was the next speak
eer and he gave assurance that the
officials in Kenosha were interested in
making this department the best to be
found in any of the cities of the state.
Others speakers included Aldermen

Chicago Women Seek to Es-
tablish Right to Property
Of John p. Brettner
CLAIM SON WAS LONG MISSING
One of the Women Declares She is the
Mother Of Former Kenosha Street
worker and Asserts that Son was
Born in Chicago-Left rs Years Ago.

Two Chicago women, one claiming to
be Mrs. John Brettner, mother Of John
p. Brettner, former Kenosha street
worker who died more than four years
ago, and the other claiming to be a
sister of the former IKenosha man, APP
peared before Judge George w. Taylor
In the county court on Saturday after
noon and made formal demand for a
re-opeping of the settlement of the
estate. A week ago Judge Taylor di-
rected that the money which had been
left by Brettner amounting in ali to
nearly 500 be turned over to the
state on account Of the fact that no
trace had been found Of heirs to the
estate. Judge Taylor promptly re-
gerred the two women to District At
gorney Henry J. Hastings, who was
attorney for Henry F. Jordan, public
administrator, who had been in charge
pf the settlement of the estate.
Mrs, Brettner told an interesting
story She declared that Brettner was
her son and that he was born in Chi
cago forty years ago, but that when
he was fifteen years of age he disap-
peared and that for twenty-five years
previous to his death she had not heard
from him. She declared that long
time ago she had been informed that
he had come to Kenosha, but that she
was woman of very moderate means
and that she had not been able to
prosecute the search. The story of
Mrs. Brettner was confirmed by the
other woman who claimed to be a sis
ter. Mrs. Brettler declared that she
had no doubt but that the man who
died in Kenosha was her son but she
did not attempt to give any descrip-
tion of him as she declared that she
remembered him only as boy and
that she had never heard from him af.
ter he grew to manhood. Attorney
Hastings referred the woman to Mr..
Jordan and to the family with whom
!Brettner had made his home just be-
fore his death. He admitted this
morning that he was not greatly inn
pressed by the story told by the
woman.
The story told by the woman does
not tally with that told b. Brettner
before his DEATH" said Attorney
Hastings. ''Brettner hal given the
people here to understand that he had
no near relatives and that he was
born in Europe. He never intimated
to any one that he was born in Chica-
go. OF course he may have been the
long lost son of this Chicago woman,
but the proof does not appear very
strong to me-"
Mrs. Brettner stated that she would
begin an action to have the estate re-
opened and the money which is now
in the hands of the state treasurer ne.
turned to the county court of Kenosha
county for division among the rightful
heirs. 1t is probable that the demand
for the estate will open some very in.
teresting litigation.
