Broken Radiator at Home of
Mrs. 7. B. Jeffrey Does
Great Damage.
COSTLY HANGINGS ARE SPOILED

The home of Mrs. Thomas B. Jeffery
on Durkee avenue together with it s
furniture and hangings valued at thou
sands of dollars has been damaged as a
result of the breaking of one of the
radiators in room on the second floor
of the house and it is declared that a
conservative estimate of the damage
done by the water is from ST. 800 to 3d.
600. Decorators have been called to the
house to repair the damage done but
these men declare that it is impossible
to estimate the damage from the down
pouring of the dirty water as some of
the furniture in the house which has
been discolored and even broken to
pieces by the water was almost price
less. The radiator which caused the
flooding Of five rooms Of the house
broke on Sunday evening. Mrs. Jeffrey
was away from home at the time ard the
maids living in other portions of the
house had no occasion to go to the
main rooms of the house until the morn
ing after the accident had occurred.
All night long the dirty water from the
radiator poured out in to the room and
it found it's way through the floors
loosening the plastering on the main
rooms Of the house and falling in CO.
pious amounts on rugs and hangings.
The water used in the city heat
ing system in the last few days
has been so dirty that the damage
is made much greater Efforts have
been made to discover the cause
Of the breaking Of the radiator and
it is supposed to have been due to
some defect either IN the radiator it.
self or in the installation. Other PEG
pie in the city nsing similar heating
systems are making rigid examinations
Of their radiators with view Of pre-
venting similar accident

OFFER GREAT PRIZE
Open Air School and Equip
ment to be First Prize
in Seal Contest
TO BRING GREAT SALE or SEALS

Everything from school building to
the pupil IS wearing apparel is included
in the open air school offered by the
Wisconsin Tuberculosis Associa-
ton to the city of ten thousand pop
ulation or above making the highest
per capita sale of Red Cross Christmas
Seals.
This prize, which was announced to-
day by Campaign Manager, Otto +.
Bradley, is not only the most unique
but probably the most valuable ever
offered in a Christmas Seal campaign.
The most important item Of the
equipment, all of which has been do
mated to the association, is the house.
The Kenyon Cottage Company of Wan
kesha, have offered to give building
suited for the purpose. The sides Of
the main room are open, but can be
closed in case of storm, and a smaller
cloak room which will be heated
The desks have been donated by the
American Seating Company of Chica-
go, the cooking range by the Brand
Stove Company, and the cups, Plates
and other dishes, by the Frankfurth
Hardware Company of Milwaukee.
Other articles of the equipment are
Mackinaw pajama suits, felt boots,
mittens, warm caps and cots.
Three open air schools are now IN
operation in Wisconsin, two of them
having been won as prizes in former
Christmas Seal campaigns and one
having been established by the Mil
waukee schools. This is the lirst prize
to include the building, however,
former ones only including the equip
ment.

REFERENDUM on BATES.
cficers Explain Why None Has Been
Held in the Woodmen Society.

An official circular has been issued
from the head offices of the Modern
Woodmen Of America, explaining why
there can be no referendum by the
members, for time at least, on the
question of accepting or rejecting the
readjustment of rates adopted At Chi
cago ir January, 1912, by the supreme
legislative body Of the society.
The explanation is that Judge Nc
Kinley at Chicago, recently, on appli-
cation by Addison Jones, an old mem
Der, issued an injunction prohibiting
the referendum on the ground that it
was unconstitutional. The circular
notes the failure of the Modern Wood
men dissatisfied with the new rates to
appeal from this decision, although
they were allowed to intervene in the
case and present an argument against
the granting Of the injunction. It al
SO notes that an application for a SINH
lar injunction was made some months
ago in an equity action filed at Gales
burg, ILL.,, by N. FL. Cleary Of Galena,
representing the dissenting Woodmen.
It states that the society issued blanks
for the referendum on July l, the day
the law took effect, and had the plans
ready for submission to the state
board when the Chicago injunction
was issued.

RACINE STARTS MOVEMENT
When Company Cuts Out tops in Ra-
cine Mayor Orders Arrest of Motor
men for Running over IL Miles an
Hour-see Solution of Local Trouble.

The city Of Racine seems to have
found way to force the Milwaukee, Ra-
cine and Kenosha interurban cars to
come to the terms of the city regardless
of the orders of the railroad commits,
sion and people residing on Milwaukee
avenue in Kenosha may adopt SINH
lar plan. The company following the
ruling of the commission announced
that stops would be made only at a few
of the street crossings in Racine and
it was planned to put the new schedule
into service on Saturday but it is not
yet in working order. Mayor Good
land Of Racine has ordered the police
of Racine to arrest the motormen in
charge of the cars if they are run
through city at rate of speed exceed
ing twelve mile an hour. Motorcycle
policemen have been put on to trail
every car entering the city. On Mon
day every car of the company crawled
through the city of Racine and not q
single arrest was made. 1t is declared
however, that the time lost by the com
pany in slowing down to the limit of
twelve miles is largely in excess of
the time that was TO be gained by cut
ting out frequent steps in the city
The Racine men have already appealed
to the city Of Kenosha to take SINH
lar steps to force the railway COMPANY
% make stops in the city and it is the
plan to make the movement a united
one among all the cities along the line.
Local officials have not seen fit to ham
per the operations of the cars pending
the decision of the railroad commission
in the Kenosha case and it is thought
that the commission will make provision
for several stops on Milwaukee avenue
If this is done the people on that ave-
nue. would be satisfied. There are only
a few people who demand the stopping
Of the cars at every street intersection
and it is pretty certain that few ju-
diciously arranged stops in Kenosha
would clear up the whole trouble with
the Milwaukee avenue property owners.
The decision of the commission on the
Kenosha complaint is expected within
the next two or three days. In the
attorneys for the property
owners and the company are planning
to 60 to trial with the injunctional
suit brought by the property owners
some time ago and it is possible that
it will be taken up in the Circuit Court
before the end of the preent month.
Some Of the property owners are in
sisting on this suit going to trial regard
less of the decision of the commission.

Judge Taylor in the County
Court Orders Estate of
John Lynch Divided
MISSING FOR TWENTY YEARS
Court Holds That There is Reason to
Believe that Man is Dead and that
all Legal Formalities Have Been Met
by the Heirs to His Estate.

Judge George W. Taylor in the
county court has handed down o aeci-
sion declaring John Lynch, one time a
well known man of the city, legally
dead and Miss Agnes Hannah has been
named as administrator Of his estate
which is valued at more than $1,000.
The estate will be divided among the
relatives Of Lynch within short Time.
The story Of John Lynch and his
strange disappearance twenty years
ago has been one Of the stock cases in
the county court for many years.
Lynch was a son of the late William
Lynch, one Of the first settlers CT Ike
nosha and he disappeared from Keno
sha in 1892. He was last heard from
at Leadyard, Ia, some five years }fter
he left Kenosha and then all letters
from him ceased and although q wide
search has been made for him moth
ing has been found William Lynch
died in 1899 leaving large estate. He
had been very friendly with his son
John and although before his death
he had feared that the son was dead
be made provision in his will that he
should receive a portion Of the estate.
The sum Of $4,000 was set aside in the
will for the missing son and under the
orders of the court other members If
the Lynch family, who were interested
in the settlement Of the estate, were
directed to make a search Tor the miss
ing son and heir. Evidence produced
in court shows that this search had
been continued over term of more
than ten years. Letters were sent to
every place where Lynch was known
to have stopped after he left Kenosha.
All Of these letters were returned an
postmasters in the different cities de-
clared that they could tell nothing of
the present whereabouts of Lynch.
When Lynch left Leadyard more than
fifteen years ago he had planned t, go
to the great northwest to look over
some timber lands with view of MAX
ing a homestead and the members of
the family believe that he met death
either at the hands of Indians or
bandits.
During the ten years that the search
has been continued the portion Of the
estate set aside for the missing son
Of William Lynch has been carefully
guarded by the administrators of the
estate and it is now to be divided to-
gether with the interest that has been
earned. Under the law the estate will
go to other members of tho Lynch
family, the court holding that there
was nothing to show that Lynch had
nvnp haan married

suit of the order to reduce the forces.
The Health department has been in
structed to reduce the force by one
man and the men employed for work
on the streets are being laid off just
as rapidly as possible. Members Of the
council have been advised that the ex-
penditures of the city must be cut down
and it is probable that there will De
a curtailment of public Improvements
for the coming year. The members of
the council have decided that streets
to be paved next year must have all
the stubs and connections with the
sewers, water and gas mains put in this
winter and if the property owners dc
not take this precaution there will be
no street paving ordered. It is thought
that next year will oe a decidedly lean
year in Kenosha for sewer builders as
the city has constructed SO many sewers
this year that it will be difficult mat
ter to find places in the city where
sewers are really needed. One thing Is
certain and that is that many mem
bers Of the council will object to the
building of sewers in property just an
.nexed to the city and that these people
will have to wait for these improve
ments until after they have made some
contribution to the funds Of the city in
the way Of taxes. The decision may
work against the building of the pro
posed trunk sewer for the northwest
sides of the city as large amount of
the territory to be drained by this sew
er has not as yet been part Of the
city for a year. Some Of it came in toe
late to assessed for taxes this year and
these people viii not pay any city taxes
until next year. It is pretty certain
shat the grading Of dirt streets will be
largely cut off next year as it is the
policy Of the members of the council to
hold up this work until such time as
the property owners are ready to pro
vide for the permanent Improvement Of
the streets. With big overdrafts in
several of the funds the aldermen are
beginning to see the demand for re-
trenchment in all lines Of municipal
activity.

stopped at a farm house. The people
at the house suspected that he had es-

SUPERVISOR IS INTERESTED
Board Spends Much Of Morning Discus
sing Resignation of Highway Com
missioner and then Votes to Hold
Matter Open

The county board found new mud
ale confronting it this morning in re-
gard to the site for the proposed Tuber-
eulosis Hospital as District Attorney
Hastings appeared before the board
and advised the members that it would
be illegal for the county to purchase
site in which one Of the members
Of the board was interested. The ques-
tion was raised before the purchase Of
the Flemming site was agreed to on
last Saturday afternoon but at that
time Attorney Hastings advised the
board that there would be no legal bar
to the purchase Of the property. The
law seems to be plain and it provides
that no contract may be made with any
members of the board for the purchase
Of anything for the county. Supervis-
oil Flemming Of Salem owns one-ffth
interest in the Flemming hill and it is
probable that he will arrange to quit
claim his interest to one of the other
owners of the property and then there
win be no bar to the purchase of the
site should it be approved by the state
board Of control. 1t win, however, be
I'D essary for the county board to re-
scind it's action 1t was admitted that
under the present action any tax payer
IA the county oQcld enjoin the purchase
ofthe proposed,ite It is very impro7s.
aDtTTe- ebac" llch action would be yal.9u
but the members Of the board will prob
ably reconsider the whole motter with
a view Of having the purchase when
made entirely legal.
The board wasted a good part Of the
morning discussing the question as to
whether or not the resignation Of High
way commissioner, John G.. Williams,
should be accepted and after the argu-
ment vote was taken and this was IS
to 3 against the acceptance Of the res
ignation. The members of the board
are demanding that all accounts for
highways be settled before Williams is
allowed to give up his office. The com
missioner has furnished a bond to the
county but the supervisors seem to be
Of the opinion that bond or no bond the
transactions should be closed up before
Mr., Williams gives up his office Of
course the salary Of the commissioner
will continue until such time as the
resignation is accepted.
Better provision is to be made for
the Office of Supervisor of Assessments
and the board by a unanimous vote
instructed the county agent to fit up an
office for the use of Supervisor Dalton.
II is probable that the Office will be To-
Gated in the county building, but if a
suitable Office cannot be found there
the county agent may get an office in
another building.
The question of the sheriff s contract
is another matter that is causing trou-
bic for the board and the district at-
torney is to appear before the board
this afternoon to give legal opinion
on some Of the clauses Of the contract
before it is finally acted upon.
