Democrats in Session to De-
eide on Election of Dele
gates Today.
ALL CAMPS ARE REPRESENTED

The meeting of the Democratic state
central committee, which is being held
In Milwaukee, today, is likely to de-
velop into three day political confer
ence, as it has been learned that near
ly all of the Democratic leaders in the
state who are at the conference will
remain over Sunday.
Friends of all the Democratic presi-
Dental candidates are IL Milwaukee
and there are both Harmon and Viii
son conferences there, as well as a
meeting in behalf of Champ Clark
The meeting of the Clark people will
be to decide whether a larger confer
ence shall be held in behalf of Speak,
er Clark and an attempt made to ar
range an organization of the state
for him.
The question whether a convention
shall be called in February for the
nomination of candidates for delegates
to the Democratic national conven-
ton will be decided in the committee
room and no one can predict in adj
vance what the decision will be. There
is some pretty active support among
the Democratic leaders for the conven-
ten plan, and there are some who are
as thoroughly opposed to the holding
Of convention.
There are also two plans as to what
shall be done in a convention if one
is held One plan is that the candi-
dates for delegates shall be chosen in
the convention and that they shall be
bound by resolution to support what
ever Democratic candidate receives
the strongest endorsement in the
Democratic primary election.
The other plan is to merely suggest
candidates for delegate nominations in
the convention so that the state CEN
trail committee can place their nOmina-
ticn papers in circulation and not to
attempt to make any choice of candi-
dates in the convention. Under this
plan it is likely that the friends of all
the candidates would suggest to the
convention the names Of the men whom
they desire shall run as candidates for
delegates.
Because of the fact. that the COM
mittee will largely make its own his
tory at this session the meeting of
the Democratic state central commit
tee will be an interesting gathering.

MAY CLOSE UP FORT.
Government Will be Asked to Aban7
don Fort Sheridan as Government Post.

Claiming that the soldiers of Fort
Sheridan disrupt the morals of the en-
tire community, the citizens of High
wood are to start petition TO be pre-
scented to the war department at Wash
ington, asking that department to in
clude Fort Sheridan in the list Of forts
to be vacated. ~
According to the statement of one
of the citizens of Highwood today con-
ditions at that city are deplorable.
The passage of the mile and an eighth
law helped conditions, but failed to
correct all Of the evils of the post, and
he stated, it is dangerous for any
young woman to be alone on the
streets, either night or day.
With the end in view of correcting
this evil, a petition will be drafted 10y
a number Of the representative citizens
of the suburb, and will be sent to the
war department. The petition will ask
that, in accordance with the recent reg
ulation of the war department, vacat-
ing several smaller army posts of the
country, Fort Sheridan be Included, and
the city of Highwood be purged of the
evils arising from the large number
Of soldiers there.

MAKES FORMAL ORDER
Judge Belden Restraints Corr
and Leinenweber From
Doing Business.
MAY NOT APPEAL SALOON CASE

Following his decision declaring the
Baker law valid, from which no appeal
has been taken Judge Belden, this
morning handed down formal order
declaring the action of the common
council in transferring the license held
by Corr and Leinenweber from the
Frabe building On Park street to the
Gronquist building on the same street
null and void Further the court is
sued an order restraining the deftn-
dants, Corr and Leinenweber, from do
ing any business at the new location
under the license transferred by the
council. The formal order for the
costs of the action is also made in the
case.
The action of the court will bring
the matter to an issue at once as the
defendants must either close up their
business today or make provision to
put up a bond pending the appeal of
the case to the supreme court. It is
possible that the order of Judge
BeldenJwil bring an end to the 1itiga-
ton as it is said that plans have been
made for building a new building on
the Frabe lot and that this new build
ing will be offered to the men inter
ested in the saloon license. Should
such lease be accepted it is probable
that the order of the court would be
modified at the request of the plaintiff
in the action so as to allow the saloon
to continue in operation in the present
quarters until the new building is
ready for use.
1t is not probable that the city will
take any further action in the matter
and if an appeal is taken in the case
it will be taken by the saloon men.

January Weather Declared
to Be of Record Making
Variety.
FEBRUARY WILL Be WARMER

Sunshine and fair weather greeting
the coming February are likely to
prove good omens for the entire
months temperature. At the Same
time the amelioration of the weather
conditions coming in the last few days
of January failed to increase the nor
NAL temperature for month which has
placed itself on record as the coolest
ever listed at the Kenosha weather
office.
January's normal average tempera-
ture is 23.7 above zero, but for last
month the mercury has so persistently
lowered below the zero mark that the
average recorded was 1913 below nor
NAL, or ia degrees above zero. This
beat the record Of 1898, the previous
coolest January, the average for that
month being 10 degrees above zero.
January also broke the record for the,
longest period of zero weather-seven-
ty-two hours in the first week Of this
month.
The normal weather for February in
the past, on the contrary, has been
higher and the temperature is expected
to linger somewhere around 25.2 de-
grees above zero. Cold spells are like
ly, but protracted cold weather is not.
expected.
"Conditions are favorable for warm
er weather in the next few days. said
Maj. II. B. Jersey, who is occupying
Prof. Henry J. Cox's Office while the
latter is in Washington. cit may be
colder Thursday night and Friday.
The barometer is low in Alaska and as
long as that condition obtains there is
no great likelihood Of cold weather
here. The temperature will be around
the freezing point in the next few days
and may go up to IS above zero.

TAKE RELIGIOUS CENSUS.
Efforts Made to Get Census Of ALI De-
nominations in the County.


The Wisconsin State Baptist Society
is making an effort to secure a census
of Kenosha county which will show the
strength of the various church de-
nominations. The matter has been
taken up with County Clerk Jones, but
he doesn't feel that he can give the
information sought and it is probable
that an appeal will be made to all the
church organizations in the county to
get the facts. 1t is proposed to have
the population of the county shown by
nationalities and by church utilization.
The figures are to be used for mission
airy work by the various churches.

Col. Lewis, Of Madison, Re-
covers Arm Alnputated
During Civil War.
HAD BEEN LOANEDTO CANADA PLAINTIFF AWARDED DAMAGES

|
Many Kenosha veterans who lost an
arm or leg in the great struggle of the
sixties will be interested in the follow
ling story from Washington relative to
the successful endeavor of COL Hugh
Lewis of Madison, in forcing the Cana
dian government to return his arm
which was cut off during the war DAYS
and preserved in pickle in labora-
tory. Many know Col. Lewis person
ALLY and this will make the story
doubly interesting.
Col- Hugh Lewis, the valiant Wis
consin warrior. who is member of the
governor s staff and is now an employee
of the house Of representatives at
Washington, has just been informed Of
the successful issue Of negotiations of
a somewhat international character for
the recovery of his arm, which was
amputated because of Q wound receiv-
ed during the civil war.
Col Lewis, whose war record is one
to boast of, was shot in the arm and
the wound was of such character that
the army surgeons were called upon to
exercise the greatest skill. The orera-
tion was successful and the arm was
amputated. The surgeons were SO
pleased with their work, which was
typical of the difficulties with which
the surgeons of that period were con-
fronted, that the. arm was preserved
and sent to the army medical museum
in Washington as an exhibit illustrat-
ing the medical history of the period
Of the civil war.
The arm was kept there until some
years ago. AT that time the McGill
museum in Montreal, which is Of the
same character as the army medical
museum, WAS destroyed by fire and
With it the exhibits illustrating the
surgery Of the war period \ request
was sent to the authorities in Wash
ington for such exhibits as could be
spared, and in compliance with the re-
q4est, Col. Lewis arm, with other relics
Of the same character, were sent to
the dominion as a loan.
The transfer would probably never
have been discovered had it not been
for the fact that Col. Lewis a short
time ago, suffered an attack of rheu-
natism, from which he is. just recov-
ering. The pain was such that it seem
ed to be in the missing arm, and, actz
ing upon the suggestion that if the
arm were recovered and buried, the
pain might be alleviated, friends Of
Col. Lewis applied to the army medical
museum for the relic. 1t was found
that the arm had been sent to Canada,
and Col. Lewis upon being notified,
taking the ground that the United
States authorities had no right to make
such disposition of his arm, which
had been placed in the custody Of the
museum from patriotic motives de-
manded that it be returned.
After an Interchange of communities.
tons the arm was sent back to Wash
ington by the authorities of the Cana
dan museum and turned over to COL
Lewis, who now has it in his posses
sion. Fortunately the incident called
for no official international transaction.

LACK Definite pHRhSEOLOGY
Members of the Commission Want
Rules Fixed so That They Will Stand
Test of Judicial Interpretation-Fac
tory Owners Join in Suggestions.

The Wisconsin Industrial Commission
may make some alterations in the pro-
posed code for the guidance Of manu-
facturers in equipping their plants
with protective adjuncts before it is
formally promulgated as law.
An impression was left with owners
of industrial institutions at the con-
clusion of an extended discussion of the
contemplated regulations Saturday af-
ternoon, but nevertheless the represen-
tatives of the employers were in the
air" regarding it and apprehensive
that the commission s regulations will
not he sufficiently perfect in construc-
ton, when they are issued, to prevent
interminable harassing and embarras-
sing trouble over taeir legal construc-
ton.
They pleaded throughout the confer
ence for amendments on the tentative
rules which would be susceptible of but
single construction by the laity and
Judiciary alike, but the representatives
Of the operators of the shops and fac
tories failed to receive assurances that
these concessions would be granted.
Manufacturers cognizant of what
they say are the indefinite articles and
clauses in almost everyone of the
codes paragraphs expressed hope that
the commissioners would change this
phraseology so it would be conspicu-
,ously definite. Nevertheless this hope
Seemed nullifed by the statement Of
Commissioner Beck, that there was an
intention to allow factory inspectors
considerable latitude for the exercise
Of their discretion and judgment in
the enforcement Of the words ''prop-
er" protection with which the code is
freely interspersed as it comes from the
committee drafting it.
"The words properly guarded and
dangerously exposed, without any
qualifying specifications are phrases
that permate the rules to a dangerous
extent" explained one of the manu-
facturers' representatives, "but we
failed to convince the commission Of
the soundness of our arguments that
there should be explicit instructions in
their stead.
Without explicit instructions in
this new law it's enforcement will GER
tainly be accompanied by much litiga-
ton. Judicial decisions will be requir-
ed to establish their meaning, through
the trials of many damage suits and
the courts and juries will have to be
enlightened by expert testimony in al
most every case.
"As appears now therefore, if the
rules be not strengthened as the en-
ployers have suggested, settlement of
personal injury claims, will be more
costly than ever before to defendants
and plaintiffs, and the latter class
more numerous. 1t is equally import
ant to employers and employees alike
that the code be susceptible Of but
one construction on every point.
