STATE LAW SETTLES CONTEST
Provides That Members of Police and
Fire Commission Must Be Named Be-
tween Last Monday in April and the
First Monday in May.

No effort is to be made to seat
former Alderman Peter Pirsch as a
member of the board Of police and fire
commissioners and the. appointment
which M. j. Scholey, former mayor of
the city filed with the secretary of the
commission, will probably be with
drawn. Attorney Calvin Stewart,t who
acted as adviser Of the mayor in MAX
ing the appointment, declared this
morning that the whole matter was a
joke and that no fight would be made
ON behalf of the former first ward al
derlnan to get him on the commits
sion. The legality of the appointment
lis clearly disposed Of in the statutes
and the former city attorney himself
declared today that under the law
there would be no chance for an
appointment at this time being upheld
by the courts.
He cites section $50, section 40 of the
revised statutes of 1907. This statute
is made to provide specifically for the
appointment of police and fire com
missioners in cities of the second,
third and fourth class and it provides
that the appointment must be made
annually by the mayor between the
last Monday in April and the first
Monday in May Any appointment
made outside Of the time stated in
the statute would be Illegal in the be-
lief Of the former city attorney and
his opinion is borne out by the opin-
ions of other attorneys in the city.
Evidently this statute was overlooked
when the "joke appointment was
made. In addition to the plain PROV
sions Of the statutes the supreme
court Of the state has handed down
several decisions along the same lines.
The court has held that no retiring of
fetal may make any appointment to
office the term Of which official shall
begin after the term of the official
making the appointment has expired.
Mayor Head declared this morning
that he did not care to discuss the
matter of the appointment for a pc
lice and fire commissioner. In the
time provided by the statute said
Mayor Head, ~ shall make formal
appointment and at that time the
secretary viii be notified and later
the matter will be laid before the
council for confirmation.
The law governing the appointments
of members Of the police and fire COM
mission has been followed in the new,
health code Of the city Of Kenosha
and this ssr:esiy provides that appoint
ments rs1s "a nlade between the last
Monday u pr;l and the first Monday

Many Owners of Land in Neighborhood
Plan to subdivide Property-City is
Rushing improvements Into the New
District as Rapidly as Possible.


The Kenosha Industrial Association
is now closing up the deal for the To-
cation of the McComber Whyte plant
on the land to the north of the city
and on Tuesday evening the officials
of the association met at the city hall
with many Of the< purchasers of lots
in the new subdivision and the lots
were regularly turned over to them by
deed. The deeds for all of the lots
have been made out and they will be
turned over just as soon as the money
is paid on them.
Ropeville the official designation
Of the new suburb Of the city, prom
ises to have a great growth during the
coming summer and it is expected that
within the next few days several new
houses will be started in that part of
the city. The city council is planning
to extend sewer privileges into the
new district and as rapidly as possible
the water commission is extending the
water mains. Much Of this work will
be completed before the formal open
ing of the big factory. Work on the
factory buildings has gone slowly on
account of the bad weather, but a
large force Of men will be put to work
within the next few days and it is ex-
pected the big buildings of the plant
viii be-completed by the first Of De
cember. The officials of ~the company
have made many changes in their
plans for the Kenosha plant and it is
certain that the plant will be one of
the largest of the kind in the country.
The company will exPend large sum
OF money more than it secured from
the industrial association. The ma
chinerv to be installed in the Kenosha
plant, much of which is now being
stored in the city is the most modern
known to the wire rope making
business.
Many Of the old employees of the
company are planning to follow the
plant from Chicago to Kenosha and
for this reason an effort is being
made to have houses erected in the
neighborhood Of the plant.
Several owners of farm land in the
neighborhood are planning to open
subdivisions within the next few
months and it is pretty certain that
efforts will be made to have large
tracts of this territory annexed to
the city.
The railway company seems certain
that the plan Of extending the five
cent fare zone to Ropeville will be
carried out and this viii undoubtedly
aid materially in booming the new por-
ton of the city. Ia the opening of
Ropeville it is expected that the whole
north shore between Kenosha and
Berryville win be given a new impulse
of life and with low railway fares 10
the heart Of the city this property is
expected to become the site for scores
of homes before the end of the pres
ent year.

BROWN QUITS WORK
Former Kenosha Minister Is
no Longer Lecturer for
tuberculosis Assn.
GOES TO MILWAUKEE, SCHOOLS

Harvey Dee Brown, former pastor
of the First Baptist church, the gen
eral lecturer OF the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association, has severed
his connection with the association to
take charge of the department of rur-
al sociology at the Milwaukee county
school of agriculture and domestic
economy. When the professional lect-

three years ago, but little in the way
Of comprehensive and far-reaching
educational campaign upon tuberculo-
sis had. been attempted in Wisconsin,
and not much elsewhere west of the
Alleghanies. That there is today, per-
haps, no commonwealth upon this con-
tinent in which a more general under
standing and healthier interest in the
tuberculosis campaign is held than
here, is due, in no. small measure, to
the splendid platform efforts of DR..
Brown.
In view Of the fact that practically
every sizeable city and village has had
at least, one opportunity, whether or
not it was accepted, to hear one Of
these eloquent and earnest addresses,
it seems fitting that this work shall
be considered to have been in meas
ure completed. While lecture work
Will be continued, it will of necessity
be modified and adapted to the per-
sonality of the lecturers, and to the
rapid transformation that is going on
in the extent of popular knowledge.

A Agricultural Situation
 Is Very Promising
In the Southwest Along St. Louis
 Southwestern Railway Lines.

Agricultural conditions are excellent in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri, according to the report is sued today by the St. Louis South western Railway, popularly called the Cotton Belt Route, and business is thriving everywhere along the line from the stimulus of large and good crops. The shipments of early fruit and garden truck from stations on the St. Louis Southwestern Railway to Northern and Eastern markets in dicate spring movement of 5000 cars, or approximately 150,00O,0O0 pounds.
 Moved, or moving at present, are 1000 carloads of tomatoes, 1,2O0 car loads of potatoes and 800 carloads of miscellaneous fruit and garden truck, chiefly strawberries. Within another fortnight the road will begin hauling 2,0OO carloads of peaches to the prin- cipal centers. Most of this fright goes to the St. Louis gateway, whence a large proportions sent to Chicago, St.. Paul, Minneapolis, Denver. Omaha, Kansas City Detroit, Buffalo, Mon- treal and New York City.
 The finest commercial peaches of the season, Elbertas from Texas, are selected with special care for the leading Northern and Eastern mar kets. and packed in bushel baskets. A large percentage of the products is transported in refrigerator cars, and all the early fruit and vegetables are moved on fast schedules. These trains cover the 600 miles between Texas points of origin and St. Louis in thirty hours, and the management contends that they are the fastest freight trains operated in the United States, or, at least, in the West.

PRESIDENT TAFT
 THE FAY0R|Tt Roosevelt is Out of It as Far as National Convention
 is Concerned.
DELEGATES ARE TIRED
May Nominate Today and May Not Get to Ii Before Next
 Week.

Chicago, June '21-Delegates to the fifteenth Republican national conven- tion, frankly tired and eager 10 re- trrn to their homes today prepared for decisive action at the Coliseum after three days Of skirmish fr- ing between the Taft and Rooseve!! forces that has resulted in nothing tangible but delay. It was eviden today that the temper of the delegates and not the schemes of the leaders would hold first place in the next 1. hours of convention deliberations.
 With this fact in view, members of the credentials committee worked all night long in efforts to have some thing approx!mating a complete re- port for submission to the conven- tion when it is called 70 order today The fourth day of the convention opened with President Taft strong favorite for renomination, possibly of a third candidate as second choice in the betting, and Colonel Roosevelt apparently out of the race as far as this particular convention is con- cerned.
 Ordinarily in Republican national procedure candidate for president would have been nominated yester- day, the third day, and the only bus mess remaining would be the selec. tiop of vice presidential candidate and adjournment. Now as the pro gram runs the report of the creden tials committee may require vote by individual delegates; the report of the committee on rules may provoke extended debate and the subject of a platform may take half a day for discussion on the floor.
 If the convention actually gets down to the point of nominat' 'on this week, it1 will be late Saturday, unless there is decision to adjourn the session until next week. Every effort today was directed toward closing II. the convention Saturday afternoon or night. Officials joined with leaders on both sides of the fight to achieve this end.
 However, it was stated that this could not be expected unless a cer. tain faction gets it's consent to t}.s advancement of the general business of the convention.
 The managers of President Taft. campaign for renomination today as- serted that the president already was assured of a, majority of 16 or IS votes when the roll call on the presi dential nomination comes.
 William Barnes Jr., of New York declared that he knew positively that the president would have at leas 10 votes over the necessary number to nominate and that he expected this majority would be increased by six or more votes.
 There was much conjecture and gossip as to the exact number If delegates that Colonel Roosevelt could depend upon to stay with him through any sort of move that the former president might decide upon. Outside of California, Pennsylvania. and possibly Kansas. it was predicted that Colonel Roosevelt would get comparatively little support among delegates on any condition that might compromise the regularity" of the

to vote upon the report of tn Commit tee on Credentials until their cases had peen disposed of. Watson moved to table the motion. The roll call was then ordered, and the steam roll CT crowd won out by Il votes.
 Immediately by the same vote, the report of the Credentials Committee on the Alabama contests was con- firmed. Chairman Root was hissed for ruling there should be no minor ity report. The Credentials Commit tee than reported in full on the con- tests, giving everything to the Taft crowd. That completes the Taft vico
 There is now nothing to do but give him the nominat on.
 At 7:15 o'clock Chairman Root announced the report from the Gre dentials Committee on the Fifth Louisiana District It was in favor of seating the delegates now in th,s
  convention. The report was adopted by viva voce vote.
 The report of the delegates-at large from Michigan was next in or der. The Eleventh District of Ken lucy Taft delegates were seated by a viva voce vote, as were the dele gates-at-large from Indiana and the delegates from the Thirteenth Indi- ana districts.
 The Roosevelt forces are complete ly routed, but according to the latest program, will probably not bolt now. The plans for non-partisan conven- ton is acceptable to both of the Progressives, following the Bal1i- more convention and the nomination of the Democratic candidate.
 Utmost confusion prevailed when the convention convened. The hall was filled at II a. m. Some cheer ing and calls of 'We Want Teddy" showed that T. R.'s cause is not vet on the blink
 The delay in opening the conven- ton was caused by row between Root and the Credentials Committee. The Committee had only gotten to the Eleventh contested district, seating the Taft contestants, when Root de- maIled a partial report from the Committee. Chairman Devine refused to make the report holding that he could wait until the entire report was ready and all contests were settled.
 Fearful of the growing discontent of the delegates, and afraid that if the delay lasted it would be impos slble to hold the slender. majority ill line, Root again demanded report.
 The Comm ttee got into another wrangle over what the report shou C contain, further delaying business.
 To have waited for the entire ra- pot would have necessitated the adjournment of the convention un- til tomorrow and delay the nomina- tion until Monday.
