of City to Take
Proper Steps Will Delay
North Side Sewer.
COUNCIL MEETING CALLED Off


There will be no special meeting Of
the common council as had been plan
ned for this evening at it has been
found by the street assessment commit
tee that the city will have to begin
over in the plans for the proposed
north side trunk sewer and it is posi-
bic that the question of issuing
bonds for the sewer can not be sub
mitted to the people at the September
primary election Members Of the
committee and City Attorney John G.
Slater have been at work on the prob
lem for several days and it is found
that there will be a number of legal
forms which must be gone through be-
fore the city can submit the question
of issuing bonds to the vote of The,
people.
The members Of the committee were
anxious to have the question submit
ted at the primary election in order
to be able to save the cost of city
election on the bond proposition and it
lis possible that some plan will be
worked out yet to make possible the
submission of the bond proposition at
that time. If the work Of building the
sewer is to be completed this year it
must be>sarted early in September. Of
course, the city can get around the
question of bonds by borrowing the
money and providing for the payment
of it in the coming tax levy, but the
aldermen are anxious to have bonds
issued In order that the people directly
benefited by the sewer will have a
chance to pay for the sewer in future
sewer assessments Just as soon as the
committee sees its way clear in the
matter the council will be called to
consider the proposition Of special
election.

WITH FACTORY LEAGUE.
Standing of the Teams.
Games Saturday, July 9th.

At Lake View Park-The Badger
Brass Mfg. Co. had the unalloyed
pleasure of being the first team to put
the Indian Sign" On the Simmons
team, beating them in hard, close
game by score of 5 to 4. The Sim
mons team took the lead at the start
off scoring three luns on two hits and
a brace of errors, making things look
bad for the Badgers. But coming
from behind the Badgers put over
run in the first and four in the third,
sewing up the game. Hopf pitched good
ball and with fine support in the field
was very, effective in pinches, forcing
Rupp and Leuck to pop foul flies to
Boyle in the ninth inning with two
menSon and ending batting rally that
sent the. Simmons last hopes glimmer-
ing. Linstrom was effective and was
accorded brilliant support at times,
although the Simmons combination
was shaky at times especially in the
third inning.

WILL EXTEND Bull DINGS LATER
Company to Control all Land West Of
Charles st. Between Prairie and
Grand Avenues Together With Ease
ments Over Electric Railway.

The Thomas B. Jeffrey company this
morning closed deal for the. pur-
chase Of the nine acres of land direct
" west of the plant of the company
formerly owned by the Balm estate.
The land has a long frontage on
Prairie avenue extending from the
tracks of the Chicago & milwaukee e
Electric railway to what is known as
Balm avenue. The purchase gives the
Jeffery company the ownership of the
entire block bounded by Praifie ave-
nue. on the south, Grand avenue on the
north and the present property of the
company on the east and Balm avenue
on the west. The tract of land has
been regarded as one Of the most val
liable pieces of land adjoining the city
limits and it is understood that it will
be used for the extension of the big
plant of the Jefery company. No state
ment has been given out as to the
price the company paid for the big
tract of land. One Of the most i'm
portant portions of the deal is the
fact that the company secures with the
land an easement for crossings of the
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Railway
tracks. This easement was reserved
by the Balm estate at the time The rail
way company was given the right Of
way through the property.
Resident Charles T. Jeffrey when
seen this morning stated that the prop
erty had been purchased for the use of
the company for extending its manu-
featuring business, but as yet the de-
tailed plans had not been made for the
erection Of buildings. The Jeffrey COM
pany, it is stated, is planning to go
largely into the manufacture of trucks
as well as pleasure cars and it is prob
able that large buildings will be erect
ed to take care of the truck building
and the land will offer the chance OF
doubling the present manufacturing
plant. Engineers and architects are
now at work making plans for the
company and it is expected that within
a short time the company will be ready
to make some formal announcement of
the proposed additions. 1t is certain
that the Jefery plant is destined to be
one of the greatest motor car plants in
the world and that these plans will be
carried out within the year.

kept OPEN LONG AFTER HOURS

Chaotic conditions are surrounding
the saloons in the Eastern part of
Pleasant Prairie this afternoon and
the proprietors Of these places are anx-
ously awaiting their call to court for
violating the early closing orders Of
the town board. Sheriff Stahl this
morning declared that formal COM
plants would be made in court against
three of the saloon men and this morn
ing he demanded that the town board
of Pleasant Prairie take action for the
revocation of the license of Arthur
Cappelin, one of the saloon men in the
town. 1t was at the Cappelin saloon
that the cutting ARRAY started this
morning. The sheriff charges that
Pleasant Prairie saloons near the city
are not obeying the closing edicts of
the town board and that the order has
been violated by Patrick Devine, now
operating the old Braun place on Ash
land avenue, by CappeIin and by An
drew Anderson, the proprietor of An
derson Park. The town of Pleasant
Prairie has practically the same regu-
Lotions that are imposed on saloons in
the city. For several weeks complaints
have been coming in to the sheriff in
regard to these saloons and he declares
that he is going to have the laws en-
forced to the letter even if he,is fore
Led to appeal to the town board to
evoke the licenses of all the saloons in
the town.
The local police officers were also
busy with saloon men today and Chief
10 Hare made complaint against the
proprietors of the "Box Car saloon
on West Main street, charging them
with keeping open after hours The
complaints against the Pleasant Prairie
and Kenosha dealers will probably be
taken up by the municipal court late
this afternoon,
This is the first violation of the city
regulations reported in some time and
Chief o'Hars declared this morning.
that some Of the saloon men were get
ting careless and that he had instruct

Mind to the Last Minute.

The marriage of Tony Valent, well
known Kenosha Italian and Miss Maria
Carmelia Amato5 who came to Kenosha
from Italy to marry Valent after a
photograph courtship, which was sched-
uled to take place on Saturday after
noon, failed to materialize as at the
last minute the bride exercised her pre-
rogatlye as a woman to change her
mind and after looking the field over
and seeing a number Of other Kenosha
Italians she decided not to. marry
Valent and refused to join in the we'd
ding march Valent went to an attor-
ney Saturday evening after the marri-
age ceremony had been called off and
asked the attorney to aid him in an
effort to get back the money he had
advanced to pay the passage of the
young woman from Italy to Kenosha.
The attorney advised him that he was
up against hard proposition and that
the young woman would probably have
the right to retain anything that had
been given her even though she had re-
fused to carry out her part Of the bar
gain and become his wife. The fail
ure of the romance has caused quite a
stir in the Italian colony.

roadway at the corner of Lake avenue

proved to be the most unique dance
ever held in Kenosha and several hun
bred people crowded the street for two
hours and took part in the merriment
until sprinkle of rain drove them to
cover, The promoters Of the dance had
secured the services of the old time
North Side band and for two hours the
band continued to play and the dancers
used the street. It was great sport for.
the people in the neighborhood. When

street they went to the halls in the
neighborhood and the celebration of the
completion Of the paving Of the street
was kept up just as long as the police
regulations would permit.

YULE QUITS AS PRESIDENT
Milwaukee Club Unable to Make Good
Promise to Entertain State Tourney
and Kenosha is Selected for Next
Year-Locals Bring Home Cups.

The 1913 state golf tournament will
be held at the Kenosha Country club,
the Milwaukee Country club, where
the tournament was expected to be
held, begging off on account Of damage
done to the course this year by the
unprecedented severity Of the winter
and spring. The Milwaukee Country
club players explained that good sea-
son will put the course in better eondl-
ton, but it was decided best to take no
chances on next year. The decision
was reached at the meeting of the golf
association Saturday.
Officers of the state golf association
were elected as follows: President, j..
M. Hixon, La Crosse; vice president,
Howard Plimpton, Blue Mound club;
secretary, Walter Cavanagh, Kenosha;

for the past several years, declined re-
election

The president was empowered to
name an executive committee of three
members to have charge of details CON
nected with the tournament for next
year, The Chenequa club of Beaver
lake, which came into existence last
winter, was admitted to membership
There was considerable informal dis
cussion of the future of the associa-
tion and many suggestions were made
to be discussed at the directors meet
ing in the spring. One suggestion was
that in order to promote sociability
there should be IN added flight for
young men Under this plan there
would be the championship flight of
sixteen, and there would be two second
flights, senior and a junior, the SEN
Tor for men over Is, and the junior for
men under 20.
The third flight would be made up Of
those who fail to get into the cham
pionship u the second fight,
Another suggestion was that there
be four ball foursomes instead of the
choice score. This will be decided by
the directors.
The directors appear to be in favor
of the five days tournament as held
this year. But this is to be decided
at the spring meeting.
Directors were selected as follows:
Racine, A. j. Lunt; GAINESVILLE, Al
Schaller; Madison, F. w. Wootton; La
Crosse, G. L. Colman; Eau Claire; NJ
II, Graham; Appleton, William Har-
per; Wausau, L. A. Pradt; Sheboygan,

Other directors are unchanged.
