THREATEN TNJUNcFIoNs.
Work May be stopped on South ST. on
Account of Street Lines.

Threats of injunctions to stop the
work Of paving South street have
reached the ears of the members Of
the street committee of the common
council but as yet none of the com
placing property owners has form
ally appealed to the courts. Some of
the property owners have objected to
the width of the street on account of
the fact that the putting in Of the
pavement viii result III the cutting
down of several trees along the street.
The committee does not consider this
objection a serious one. Property
owners at the extreme west end of the
street are objecting to the continuance
of the paving on the ground that the
line of the street as it is established
at the present time is not correct. This
objection is regarded as a serious one
and the work on that end of the street
may be delayed pending an action in
court to establish the street lines. 1t
it said that but one block of the paw
ing would be affected by such a con-
test.

Farmers Confronted by Ser.
ious Condition Regarding
Seed Corn.
STATE IS MAKING MANY TESTS

Farmers in Wisconsin and through
out the corn belt are facing serious
condition in regard to seed corn which
is found to be very poor in average
termination. Reports from various
parts OF the state received at the state
agricultural school at Madison show
that only 81 per cent Of the seed
corn saved will grow.
Many Kenosha county farmers have
tested their seed and have found it to
be low in termination. This is es-
Ipecially true of the yellow and white
dent varieties while the flint corns are
usually in good condition. The ad-
vice sent out by the agricultural school
authorities to test the seed corn by
ears is being largely followed in this
section and will result very satisfac-
thorily in determining what seed and
what ears are safe to be used at
planting time.
AS the time, is very short before
planting and with the rush for seed
corn as the result of the low germina-
tion scare, a scarcity Of seed corn has
resulted in this city as well as through
out the state with attendant high
prices.
Speaking in regard to the situation
Prof. Norgord of the agricultural col
lege says:
Next season will see shortage Of
corn and high price which will compel
stock growers to glut the markets with
immature stock. We Of Wisconsin
must not be caught. The way of es-
cape is clear. We must test. every ear
of our seed corn and discard every one
that does not terminate strongly. We
must not shell the corn before testing,
because then we cannot throw out the
dead keEaals. One man can test sew
eral bushels in a day and every one
should do it for corn will be valuable
next year."

CITY IN THE MOVIES"
Industrial Assn. to Provide
for Moving Pictures to
Show up Kenosha.
RACINE Being SHOT UP TODAY

Members Of the Kenosha Industrial
Association are being urged to con
slider a plan to advertise Kenosha by
the use of moving pictures. "A COM
pany at South Bend, Ind, has started
the work of making pictures of pro
gressive cities in the middle west and
these pictures are to be offered to the
moving picture houses in order to
show the life in the various cities.
The Racine Commercial Club has al
ready accepted the proposition and
operators of the moving picture indus
try are now in Racine Shooting up"
that city. Hundreds and thousands of
feet of films are made in the cities
and it is the plan of the picture tax
ers to get as many people as possible
into the pictures. Views are taken, Of
the parks and bathing beaches, of the
residence streets and of the factories
in operation. There is little doubt but
that such moving pictures of Kenosha
would prove decidedly interesting. Ke-
nosha S great manufacturing plants
offer the operators a chance to get
pictures of the very latest machinery
known to the manufacturing world
and the photos of the Kenosha plants
would undoubtedly attract wide atten-
tion to the city.
Edward NJ. Lucas, manager for the
South Bend company is now working
in Wisconsin cities and he is expected
to be in Kenosha within few days
and seek to make arrangements to re-
duce the regular work-a-day life of
the city to the films of snimated pict
ures. It is certain that the theatre
which would show these pictures in
Kenosha would make great hit with
the working people Of the city.
The value Of the pictures as ar adj
vertising feature viii appeal to all
people interested in the advancemens
of the city and there is no doubt bat
that Kenosha would show up well vita
any city in the state.

DISPOSE OF scHAFFER CASE.
Brother Released on Bond and Sister
Will Be Sent to State Institution.


viii Be Sent to State Institution.
The sensational charges brought some
time ago against Matt Schaffer and
Mamie Schaffer, his sister, are to be
disposed of within a few days. In the
municipal court Friday afternoon Matt
Schaffer was released on a recognizance
bond and today an application was
filed to have the sister sent to the
state home for the feeble minded at
Chippewa Falls. The young man is the
sole support of an aged father and the
investigation of the case has failed to
bring out the evidence that had been
given to the officials for the state at
the time the arrests were made. The
officials believe that the cause of JUS
tice will be served best by sending the
girl to some place where she can be
properly taken care of and leaving The
boy in Kenosha to take care of his
father. However, the charges against
the young man will not be dismissed
and he may be called into court at any
time he fails to make good his prom

vITE PLEADS GUILTY.
Saloon Man Pays Fine of s25 and Costs
for Violating Saloon Regulations.

Charles Vite, an Italian in charge OF
"a saloon in the Brassville neighbor-
hood, was the first man to settle with
the court for the violation of the new
saloon regulations. Vite appeared in
the municipal court Wednesday after
noon and pleaded "guilty'' to having
the saloon open after eleven O'Clock
and Judge Randall assessed o fine OF
$25 and the costs of the action. Vite
paid the fine. Late in the afternoon
Patrick Devine, the keeper OF sa-
loon on North Chicago street, was
tried by the court. The evidence
showed a technical violation OF the
law, but the court held that he did not
think tI&t the case against Deyine was
in keeping with the spirit Of the ordi-
nance and discharged the defendant.
Cheers have been given special or
ders to keep a close tab on all places
against which complaints have been
made and to arrest any man found
guilty Of not observing the regula-
tons to the very letter.

ST. GEORGE CHURCH DAMAGED.
Window Which Withstood Shock of
Powder Mill Explosion is Ruined.

st. George church suffered a severe
damage during the heavy wind storm
which prevailed on Friday afternoon
by the destruction of one of the large
windows on the north side OF the
church. The damage is estimated at
$50. The big window broken on Fri
day was the one window in the church
which was not damaged at the time Of
the powder explosion in March Of last
year, but the members OF the church.
believe that it was SO loosened at that
time that it fell an easy prey to the
big wind Of Friday. Reports Of win
.dows broken by the wind are coming in
from AL parts of the city and it seems
certain that the wind which moved
with the velocity, Of a cyclone did con
siderable damage in the city.

TO FIGHT INCOME TAX.

A number of prominent men
throughout the state are being inter
ested in the formation Of the anti
Income Tax League. The object Of the
league will be to use all lawful means
to procure repeal Of the present IN
come tax law BY the next legislature.
Details Of the proposed plan Of action
are being worked out by Attorney
James 7. Drought and while those
back Of the movement are not ready to
make any announcement, the organi-
zation Is to be state wide and to IN
elude men il all walks OF life, irre-
spective Of political affiliations.

The letter signed taxpayer is
not the first protest by a good many
that has been received against permit
ting swinging signs over the side
walks in the city. The practice Of
erecting these signs has been con
demned in many cities in this and
other states even where inspectors
were employed to supervise the con
struction Of the signs and as far as
possible safeguard the pedestrians who
are compelled to pass beneath them.
These swinging signs got a severe test
in the big blow Of Friday, but that
is not saying that all Of them that
Withstood the gale are in safe con-
diticn.

The income tax law is going to be
the principal subject Of discussion at
the political conferences to be held in
Madison in the near future. Many of
the members Of the legislature, es-
peeially those who propose to be can
didates for reelection, have been hear
ing from their constituents in no I'M
certain terms and many Of them will
advocate immediate action at the
special session looking to the repeal
of the law. Great stress is being laid
ion the feeling against the law in the
country districts, but the political
wise men are very much mistaken if
they do not believe that the opposition
to the law is just strong in the cities
as it is in the country. It is stronger
|if the feeling in this county is any
thing to go by.

WILL GO TO NEW COMP ANY NOW
Property Owners Still Demand Straight
ening Of Street and New Bridge as
the Price of Their Signing Easements
for Right Of Way.

Milwaukee Avenue property owners
voted to stand pat in the fight against
the interurban service at meeting
held at Germania Hall on Friday even
ing and the committee which had been
representing the property owners in
the negotiations with the Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway company to secure conces
sions from the company before ease
ments were signed, will now take up
the matter with the officials of the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
company. A majority of the property
EoWneTs on the avenue were present at
the meeting and the enthusiastic man
ner in which the proposition to stand
out for concessions was met, left no
doubt as to the manner in which the
people of that side of the city will look
at the matter. The gathering was typi-
cal town meeting in which many of
the property owners were speakers, and
these people held, that the company
should not have the right to use the
streets without giving the people some
remuneration. The proposition of
Strengthening Main street and the build
ing of g new bridge is the one to be
urged and the property owners believe
that the Milwaukee company can be
forced to meet this demand regardless
of the provisions of the franchise of
the Kenosha Electric Railway Company.
There is no doubling the conclusion
that Milwaukee avenue people are
desperately interested and they feel
that they can make the demands stick
if they hold out long enough. The
franchise was read to the property
owners and attempts were made to
show them that negotiations for the
bridge would have to go through the
city council and that the city would be
forced to pay one-half the cost of such
Improvements. This the property own
ers contested and they seemed to be-
lieve that if the easements were held
up long enough that the company would
finally meet their requests and pro-
vide for the straig htening of the street
and the building of the new bridge. 1t
was stated to the property owners that
All opinion had been secured from at
~
torneys in which it was declared that
the railway company could not begin
condemnation proceedings to force a
way for the interurban cars into the
city and that the only way that an
entrance could be secured over a street
on which tracks had already been laid
was through securing easements from
the property owners.
It is probable that the Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway Company will leave the
fight for easements to the new COM
pany, as there seems at the present
time no reason to believe that the mat
ter can belclosed up before the first OF
June, at which time the Milwaukee
company is expected to begin the OPP
Grafton Of the street railway lines in
Kenosha.
Some Of the property owners have
suggested private settlements for ease
ments, but this plan does not seem to
appeal to the company in any way. The
company holds that all property owners
must be treated alike in the matter.

MAYOR TO NAME SUCCESSOR
Retirement Of Mr. English After -Four
Years Of Service Regretted by Other
Members of Commission Active in
Work of Two Departments

John j. English, for the past four
years a member of the police and fire
commission Of the city, this morning
sent his resignation to the secretary
of the commission and to Mayor Dan
@. Head, asking that he be relieved
from further service on the commits
sion. The term of Mr.. English would
have expired the first of next May
and it is possible that he would have
been appointed to succeed himself as
a member Of the commission, but he
stated that he did not care to longer
remain a member Of the commission
and that for this reason he sent his
resignation in order that Mayer Head
might not be in any way handicapped
in making his appointment.
Mr.. English has been one Of the
most active members of the commits
sion and has given real service to the
city in an effort to secure better con-
ditions among the members Of the
police and fire department.. He has
been very popular with the members
of the two departments on account of
the fact that he has insisted that
every man on the force was entitled
to the same treatment. His work as
q member Of the commission has been
particularly free from partisan bias
and the members Of the commission
regret deeply that. he has found it
necessary to send his resignation. For
some time Mr.. English has been suf-
fering from rheumatism and this
has made it hard for him to give any
attention to any thing save his bust
ness. Commissioners English was the
last appointment made to the commits
sion by former Mayor James German.
Mayor Head has not as yet named
any member of the commission, but
he will announce his appointment at
the next meeting of the common
council. It is understood that the APP
pointment Of Peter Pirsch which was
sent to the secretary of the commits
sion by. retiring Mayor Scholey some
time ago has been withdrawn. At ny
rate there will be no effort to seat
the former alderman as member Of
the commission. Mr.. English was APP
pointed to the commission as q Demo
crat, but the mayor will not be ham
pered by party politics in making the
appointment of his successor as there
are at the present time two Republi-
cans and two Democrats on the com
mission and he may name either a
Democrat or ReDdb lean to the posi-
ton.
The organization Of the board has
been kept 50 thoroughly non partisan
that it is not thought that there will
be any trouble over any appointment
that may be made by the mayor.
rhe board Of health will also be re-
organized after the next meeting of
the council in keeping with the pro-
visions Of the new health code. May
or Head will at that meeting name a
full board for the full term prescribed
in the ordinance. The mayor has cor
suited with the members Of the Ke-
nosha Medical Society and with many
well known citizens in making his Sc
lections for the board and it is pretty
certain that the appointments will be
decidedly satisfactory to the people Of
the city.
