TO INSURE DEPOSITS
State Bankers Assn. Have
Plan to Insure Deposits
of All Banks.
EkERN OUTLINES THE, PLAN

| The committee appointed at the
last convention Of the Wisconsin
Bankers Association to investigate
the problem of insuring bank deposits,
after six months Of diligent study,
has submitted a tentative proposition
to the association. If the commit
tees project which in many respects
| follows plan outlined by Commits
sioner II. L. Ekern, is adopted, it is
thought that deposits in the banks of
Wisconsin will be absolutely safe.
The tentative proposition is now
being sent to all bankers in the state.
The suggestions made will be consid-
cred by the committee and where
deemed beneficial will be Incorporated.
The revised plan viii be submitted to
the annual convention.
The recommendation of the com
mittee is that an insurance company
| be organized to be known as the Bank
Deposit Limited Mutual Insurance
Company with headquarters at Madi-
son. The usual force Of officers is to
be augmented by force of expert
enced bank examiners.
The proposed company would come
under the supervision of the insur
ance commissioners, the bank examiner
and the controller of currency in case
national banks entered the company.
Membership in the company would be
optional The banks which applied
for insurance would be examined and
lif found satisfactory would be given
insurance to cover their deposits at a
premium Of IS cents on each 500 of
deposits.
If all of the banks in Wisconsin
would accept the insurance, the COM
pany would start with a surplus of
$4,000 and would receive an annual
premium OF about $3.50 900. This
would give the company over $1,000
900 with which to meet losses during
the first year.

Kenosha Order of Moose
Hold Annual Memorial
Services.
REV. {. 7. FARRILL SPEAKER

The Loyal Order Of Moose attended
service at the First Congregational
church last evening. Together with
the large audience that greeted them,
the auditorium of the church was COM
pletely filed. The Moose turned out
large body of men and rendered
their memorial service ritual most
beautifully A large arch Of Easter
lilies stood -four and half feet in
front Of the pulpit banked with palms,
ferns and cut flowers. As each name
of the brothers absent by death was
called a lily burst into light. The
lighting effects and the musical feat
ures of the ritual were carried out
impressiNely.
The pastor of the church, Rev. E..
7. Farrill, gave an address on the
Worth of a Man. The speaker
contrasted the estimate Of the indi-
vidual man of centuries ago with the
estimate of the twentieth century
Mr.. Farrill claimed Kenosha's future
was one of assured prosperity, but
the great need now was not of more
factories and more business so much
as of more man, not men, but more
genuine four square manhood. There
was a need of greater ability in the
business circles; greater unity in the
political life, and the religious life in
Kenosha to bring to pass the largest
measure of prosperity. A unity that
meant strong and harmonious effort
to life the standard of life at every
point. The historic Christ was not of
SO much Importance in the fact Of his
once living in Gallilee as the spirit Of
the Christ in the man of Che hour.
1t was not so much, to day, the cross
on Calvary as the spirit Of unselfsh-
ness, of self sacrifice, and brotherli-
ness and Divine love in the heart of
the man in every walk in life.
The music by the choir assisted by
Mr.. Windesneimf with the violin and
Mr.. Eastman with the clarionet, was
very fine.

1t is not probable that any one will
seriously contend that the city has re-
ceived dollars worth of work for
many of the good dolla.s it has paid
out in wages in some Of its departments
in the past few years and if the new
board Of managing directors Of the
twenty million dollar corporation called
the city of Kenosha5 stick to their pres
ent determination to make efficiency
and ability the first considerations in
the appointment Of the new set of city
employees, a great advance along the
line Of putting the affairs of the city
on business basis will have been made
Immediately. The slogan IAN honest
days work for ar honest days pay
will then be something more than
string of empty words. When it is pat
ent to everybody that men are being
selected for city positions because of
their fitness and ability to deliveE~ the
goods rather than/for any fancied po-
litieal pull they may possess, it will be
an honor to work for the city and places
under the city government will be Gag
erly sought by the kind of men the city
needs and must have in its service. The
city has been so honeycombed with the
cheapest kind of politics for years that
it will be a hard job to make the in
terests of the city the first consider
alton with all employees at first, but
the new board Of directors can rest as
sured that any changes it can inaug-
urate along that line will be appreciat-
ed by the people of the city.

DEATH OF MRS. NJ. H. Bacon
Former Well Known Kenosha Woman
Died in Washington THURSDAY.

Messages were received in Kenosha
this morning announcing the death of
Mrs. Mary Bacon, wife of Marvin Fl.
Bacon, which occurred ON Thursday in
Washington. Mrs. Bacon had been i'll
for some time but the announcement
OF her death came as surprise to
people in Kenosha. Mr.. and Mrs. Ba-
con resided on Park avenue for many
years and Mrs Bacon took an active
interest in the work of the Woman S
Relief Corps, she having been one of
the charter members of that organiza-
ton. Ten years ago Nj. Bacon ac-
eepted a position in the Department
of Statistics in Washington and since
that time he and his wife had made
their home in Washington.

TO EXTEND INDUSTRY GAVE ANNUAL DANCE /
knights of Columbus Enter
tain Big Crowd at Ger
mania Hall.
DECORATIONS A BIG FEATURE


One Of the mos notable social
events Of the year in Kenosha was the
annual dancing party given by the
Kenosha Council of the Knights Of
Columbus at Gernania Hall on Wed
nesday evening. The big hall was
filed to its capacity during the even
ing, Kenosha society being well repre-
sented while scores of 5aests came
from Racine, Milwaukee and other
cities.
The decorations for the dance were
the most elaborate ever seen at Ger
mania Hall. Following color
scheme in white and yellow the colors
of the order, the great walls Of the
building were completely hidden be-
hind the decorations. The emblems of
the order were worked into the dec
orations in many ways. The lighting
scheme was exceedingly well arrang-
ed and the lighting effects added
much to the enjoyment Of the even
ing. The music was furnished by the
Stemm Brothers orchestra and the mu-
sicians were forced to respond to en-
cores afte~ every dance on the pro
gram.
Supper was served in the dining
room at eleven o'clock. The decora-
tions of the dining room We're in keep
ing with those of the main hall and
followed out the general white and
yellow color scheme. Yellow and
white hangings were on the walls
and the tables We're brilliant in dec
orations of white carnations and yell
low spring flowers. Covers were laid
for four hundred at the supper.
After supper dancing continued I'M
til early morning and it was day
break before the last Of the tired but
happy dancers left for their homes.
The party was the most successful one
ever given under the direction Of the
Kenosha council and the committee
in charge of it are entitled to high
praise for it's success.

-Four Boys Borrow Taxi
Sunday and Land in the
Municipal Court.
PAY FOR DAMAGES TO THE GAR
Boys We're Out for Less Than an Hour
and Total Cost of Trip Was More
Than Hundred Dollars-Not Held
Under New Bishop Statute.

An automobile "joy ride" resulted
in Fred Gregory, Homer Watkins, Ed.
English and Vincent Pennefeather all
we'll known young men of the city, be-
ing arraigned ON charges of disturb
ance In the municipal court this morn
ing and before the boys got through
with the court they had paid fines of
two dollars and costs and in addition
to this they had agreed to settle with
the owner Of the automobile, which
they. had appropriated to the amount
Of $75. The JOY ride will cost the four
boys a little over hundred dollars
and as they were out less than an
hour the cost is regarded even lit
tie stronger than the charges made
by the taxi cab owners in some Of the
larger cities.
The little JOY ride was the most ex-
citing event Of Sunday morning in
henosha and it was originally stated
that the automobile which belonged to
Clyde Ellis, had been stolen Just af-
ter midnight Sunday morning Ellis re-
ceiyed call from the Hotel Jacobs
asking that taxi cab be sent to the
hotel to take care of four passengers.
At the time the car was busy on the
north side, but just after midnight the
driver drew up at the hotel and went
into the bar room. One Of the men
asked him to have drink and later
he was informed that one of the pas,
sengers was in one of the rooms on
the second floor of the hotel While
the driver waited the taxi disappeared
and when he came out Of the hotel
five minutes later no trace Of it could
be found. II was found two hours
later by Police Officers Maher and
Clausen in ditch out in the Keno
sha Heights neighborhood. Evidently
the boys had started on the joy ride
and had met with disaster. It was
found that considerable damage had
been done to the machine. The police.
had no trouble rounding up the four
young men, all of whom with the ex-
ception of Watkins, are residents of
Kenosha. They hurried to show the
police that they had only meant to
have little ride and that the whole
thing was joke, but Ellis failed to
sec where the smile came in and in
sisted that the boys be held at the
city lookup until they were bailed out
by their relatives
The four boys freely admitted their
connection with the case and prompt
ly agreed to pay the amount of the
damages as set by Ellis.
The joke might have been very
serious matter for the quartette Had
they been arraigned under the law
passed by, the last session of the
legislature which provided for such
case they could have been given pri-
son sentences for tampering with the
car.

MAKES MoRH ADMISSIONS.
Frank Howard, Sentenced to Prison,
Admits He Set Other Fires.

Frank Howard, the Detroit man who
Is now in the county jail waiting to
be taken to the state prison at Waupun
to serve a term of one year, has made
other confessions to the sheriff, and he
told Sheriff Stahl this morning that
he had set a fire which destroyed two
ice houses near Ives short time ago.
The fire resulted in loss of $4,000.
Howard was picked up by the Racine
county officials, but he told such a
good story that he was released after
being held for three or four days. How
ard told Sheriff Stahl that at the time
of the ice house fires he was drunk and
that he went into one of the houses
and started a fire, but that he had no
intention of burning the buildings.

SEEK FARMS IN PL. PRAIRIE
Farmers in Kenosha County ana North
ern Illinois VIII Be Asked to Make
Big Contracts With New Company to
Increase Production in This Section.

Efforts are being made to widely
extend the sugar beet industry in Ke-
nosha county and surrounding terri
tory during the coming year and it
is declared that company Of eastern
men are negotiating for the purchase
OF property in Kenosha county be-
tween Kenosha and Waukegan which
is to be used for the erection of beet
sugar refneries. Just who is behind
the movement has not been made pub
lie, but is declared that options
have been taken on several pieces of
property in Kenosha county near
Winthrop Harbor and that the men
who are to boom the growing Of the
beets will arrive in a few days.
The company expects to cover a
wide territory and it is declared that
much Of the most fertile beet country
in this section has never been used
The agents of the new company will
seek to secure contracts from farm
ers in Kenosha county in Wisconsin
and in Lake county, ILL.,, and the
building Of the chair of refneries
will depend entirely or at least to a
great extent on the amount of terri
tory they can contract for. The year
1911 was not a banner year for the
beet raisers. While many farmers in
the county made a good profit on
beets last year the profit was not
nearly SO large as in former years.
The agents for the beet sugar com
panies insist that there must be fat
and lean years in every business and
that in the beet sugar raising bust
ness the lean years are few and far
between. The loss of part of the
crop in 1911 has not seriously affect
ed the growing of beets to the north
of Kenosha and it is declared that
more land will be planted in beets this
year than ever before. The contracts
that have been secured by the farmers
seem to be entirely satisfactory
1t is said that the company plan
ming to build refneries to the south
of Kenosha is in no way connected
with the Wisconsin Sugar Beet com
panies and the coming Of the new com
pany is expected to bring active COM
petition for the beets. The growth
of sugar beets in this county has been
limited almost entirely to the proper
ty north of the city, but farmers in
the western part of the county who
have tried the crop have found that
it is a most paying crop and in some
eases even with the bad weather Of
last year the beet crop proved a pay
ing investment. 1t is claimed that
land in the western part of the county
IS even better suited for beets than
that along the lake shore as the farm
ers get away from the lake winds.

JOS. Vadapol Arrested on Charges oil
Seduction by Chief o'Hare.

Joseph Vadapol, well known among
Austrisns of the city, was arrested
on Sunday by Chief of Police O'Hare
on charges of seduction preferred by
Miss Elizabeth Baltkois. The young
woman alleges that Vadapol agreed to
marry her. On Saturday night he
told her that it would be impossible
for him to keep his portion Of the con
tract on account of the fact that he
already had one wife. The hearing Of
the case is set for this afternoon at
the municipal court and it is probable
that it will bring out some interesting
facts.

WILL RAISE VALUES
Personal Inspection of Cit,
Real Estate to Increase
the Tax Roll.
ASSESSORS FIND WORK HARD

The new plan of personal inspec-
tion Of the property of the city by the
members of the board of assessors is
proving a winner &n Kenosha and it
is declared that the work so far COM
pleted indicates that the new scheme
will bring an increase in the valla-
tion of the property of the city of one
third the total amount returned last
year. This will mean that the total
valuation Of the property Of the city
will be more than, $25,000,000 The
three assessors are now actively en-
gagged in carrying out the card -
plan of assessment and in the three
weeks that they have been at work
they have completed the making Of a
new assessment of the property in Rice
Park and in a portion of the Balm
subdivision, Every piece of property
has been inspected by the assessors
and the value placed on it in an in
telligent manner The assessors adj
nit that it takes lot longer to make
this kind Of an assessment but they
state that the new figures are averag
ing third larger than those of other
years. From the time that has been
taken up in making the new assess
ment Of the portion Of the fifth and
sixth wards it is certain that the as
SCISSORS will be kept busy until the
middle of August if the entire city is
to be re-assessed. just as soon as the
work is completed in the Balm subdi-
vision the men will start work in the
first ward and they plan to follow the
wards until the work is fully complet-
ed. With a little practice in making
out the cards the assessors believe that
the work will go considerably faster
but they will follow the instructions
of the council and make a personal in
spection of every piece of real estate
even though it may be necessary to
secure clerks to write up the tax roll
as the work is completed.
