PLANNING BIG GATHERING.
Racine and Kenosha Masons to Hold
Joint Picnic on st. Johns Day.

Plans are being made for a great
joint gathering of the members Of the
Masonic Order in Racine and Kenosha
counties to be held as a celebration
of ST. John s Day on June "a. 1t is
probable that the gathering will be
held at some park on TIN electric rail
way between the two cities and the
committees now being named are ex-
pecting that close to thousand Ma
sons and the members of their fami-
lies will be in attendance. In other
years the Masons Of the two counties
have held separate gatherings, but the
plan for this year is to have one cele
bration which will be notable one.
Officers Of the Wisconsin Grand Chap!
ter will be invited to come to Kenosha
to take part in the ceremonies of the
day. Lodges in both counties have
named committees and some formal
announcement Of the plans will be
made within short time.

KHEIRALLA pRODs LEADER
Asserts that Abdul BAHIA Is Not willing
to Meet Leaders of Other Faction and
Hold Conference as to the Faith of
the Bahaists in This Country.

There is to be no peace among the
followers Of the Bah in Kenosha and
other cities in the United States as
1t is declared that the recent letter
sent out by Ghusn Akber and directed
to Abdul BAHIA, the Manifestation
of the faith has failed Of its mission
and the proposed peace conference will
not be held. The Kenosha followers
seem to be the most active in seeking
to secure a settlement Of the differ
ences that have divided the two bodies
of the Bahaist faith and the original
suggestion for peace conference was
given out through the little body of
believers in this city. On Monday DR..
/. G. Kheiralla of Evanston, sent out
the following letter which is self ex-
planatory:
Evanston, ILL.,, May 81, 1912.
To the Editor of the Kenosha Even
ing News Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir
His Excellency, Abdul BAHIA, Alb
bas, promised in the Chicago Examiner
May 9th, 1912, that he will answer all
questions which may be propounded
when the conference Of peace meets
on the 18th of June next. The party
of his younger brother, Ghusn Akber,
Mohamnned Ali, were delighted for
they expected the dissension to come
to an end, and unity and concord take
its place.
On the strength Of his promise they
tried to engage a hall and an inter
prefer and some of them were ready
to leave their homes and business and
to travel thousands Of miles to come
to Chicago and attend the conference.
But, to our regret, His Excellency ig-
nored till the present the open letter
sent to him by his nephew. Also, his
followers reported to US that he will
never appoint conference nor attend
its meetings.
Therefore, we beg Of you, to publish

COMPANY MAY AID The CITY
Cost of Repaving Street viii Be in the
Neighborhood Of $1,000 if City Is to
Pay for its Share of Improvement.
Work to Be Started Soon.

With view of making an effort
to work out some plan to secure the
repaving of Main street between Pearl
and South streets at the time the new
tracks of the electric street railway
are laid, Mayor Dan 0. Head has ask
ed for a conference between officials
of the city and the head officials of
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light Company. Letters have been
sent to General Manager R B. Stearn
and President Mortimer of the COM
pany, asking for a conference at which
this matter may be taken up and some
agreement reached which will be
mutually profitable to the city and the
company. The pavement on Main
street has now been in use for more
than twenty years and it is in bad
condition. The railway company will
be forced to take up twenty feet or
more Of the pavement of the road
way and in order to get proper
foundation for the tracks concrete
must be put in before the brick is re-
laid.
Under the law there is grave doubt
if it would be possible to assess the
property owners for the rebuilding of
the pavement and if the work is done
it will have to be done at the expense
of the city at large or at the expense
of the electric railway company. There
is no provision in the franchise Of
the company which gives the city any
right to expect that the company will
do this work, but at that the company
may show a new interest in the affairs
of the city by offering to do the work
The work Of taking up the pave
ment will be hard one for the COM
pany if the entire pavement is not
taken up and the officials of the city
are anxious to find a way to have the
work done at this time. The Main
street pavement is the oldest in the
city and considering the fact that it

Peddler Fined $25 and Costs for Sell
ing Short Weight in Apples

Ralph Flegel, fruit peddler, was
brought before Judge Randall in the
municipal court late Monday after
noon to answer warrant issued on
the complaint of City Sealer Mayer.
Flegel was charged with selling ap-
pies by the measure instead of by the
pound and the sealer charged that a
half peck of apples that had been sold
by Flegel was found to be- one-sixth
short. 1t was the second time that
Flegel had been brought before the
court to answer this sortof a complaint
at first he declared his intention to
tight the case to the limit, but after q
little study over the matter he decided
to enter plea of equity" and he
was fined $25 and the costs of the ac-
tion. The merchants of the city have
complained against such peddlers de-
clarlng that the people are being de-
tauded by them and that they are get
ting rich by the use of weights and
measures that would not be permitted
IN regular retail stores of the city.

SHOWS BUSINESS OF COMPANY
$500 Patrons of Water Company Now
Using Meters Will Be Entitled to the
Rebate Hold Property for Water
Rentals in the Future

The city of Kenosha is giving away
$4,000. The proposition is an unusual
one and so unusual in fact that many
Of the people who are entitled to a
piece of this big sum Of money have
not taken the trouble to go to the city
hall and get their share. The money
is now on tap and it will be kept NOV
ing for the next six months. Every
man in the city who has put up $3.50
TO insure the payment Of his water
rental is entitled to return of his
money and all he has to do to get it is
to appear at the office Of the water
department and show receipted bill
for his rentals for the last six months.
Years ago, when the Kenosha Water
Company began. to install meters for
the use of the consumers rule was
adopted which provided that each con-
sumner should make deposit to insure
the payment Of the water reatal. This
rule applied only to meter consumers
and the people who bought the water
on the so-called fat rates did not
make the deposit. The water company
now has total Of over four thousand
patrons and sixty-fve per cent of this
number are buying the water through
meters. Nearly every one of these
people are entitled to the rebate but
up to the present time the rebate has
been claimed by less than a hundred
of the twenty-three hundred meter
owners.
: The provision for the rebate was
made by resolution passed by the wat
er commission, the commissioners
holding that it was unfair for the man
holding a meter to make the deposit
so long as a deposit was not required
of the man who was buying water on
fat rate. $4,000 has been set aside
from the general funds of the water
department to pay these rebates and
if more is needed it win be appropriate
ed. Some people are patriotic and
they have declined to claim the re-
bate holding that they will contribute
this much to the support of the water
department.
Under the new state law the COM
missioners do not anticipate any trou-
BILE in making collections for water
rentals as these rentals may be assess
ed to the property owners. The old
plan of shutting off the water when
the rent is not paid will not be aban-
doned, however, and the only change
will be the fact that the advance de-
post will no longer be demanded. The
officials of the water department are
spending most Of their time making
out rebate orders and it is expected
that much of the fund will be paid
out within the next few weeks
With the full settlement of these
claims it is probable that the water
commission will take some steps to
provide for a uniform rate for the sale
Of water to all customers regardless
of the amount of water consumed
Schedules have been examined by the
water commissioners and they think
that it will be possible to work out a
fat rate that will be fair to all and
at the same time assure the water
company ample revenue to meet the
expenses of the department.
