WHOLESALE PARDONS
Governor Bonaghey Releases More
 Than $50 Con,icts.

Little Rock. Ark, Dec. l. Gov ernor Donaghey this evening issued q proclamation pardoning 316 state eonyiets and II county eonfiezs. The county conyicts are in Nils s7is- slppi DesAa and Jefferson counties. He pardoned everyone on these farms whose aameS he could get, k cept those convicted for carrying pistols and selling whisky His purpose Was to blot these farms out Of existence
 There We're S00 conyiets la tae penitenfiary prorer. not counting those being worked on county roads in Pulaski and few other counties under the act of 1911. For months he has been securing complete data of all eonviets in the penitentiary and has sent special agents 10 the county farms to secure data there, securing reports that are indeed startling in the extreme.
 And but for the record in tie case,a says he, they could scarce ly be accepted as truth gotten from official documents and personal statements among civilized people, and but for the necessity which compels me 10 officially transmit an account of all pardOns granted by me, giving the reasons therefor, would be loath to make known. in any manner for the outside world t0 know 1t, the statements obtained. But my principal reason for dis charging so many at this time is for the purpose for forever breaking up the convict lease system in this state, says the governor
 T would be untrue to my coll yictions and as l see il untrue to the states best interests if I did not do everything in my power to bring about the result !"
 Action Not Surprising
 Governor Donaghey intimated he might take such action in a speech before the recent conference of gov ernors in Richmond, Va. The con victs who will be freed are serving sentences of from one to fifteen years in length None Of the des- perate conyicts in the penitentiary will be released.
 Three state convict camps will De abolished as a result of the govern ors action but several camps will be continued in operation where conYiets are engaged in the bnild- ing of good roads.
 Governor Donaghey has fought the convict lease system since he first assumed office four years ago. He has repeatedly urged the state legislature to take action in the matter but each time his efforts were futile
 Some members of the legislature cOntended the state penitentiary was not disigned for Sunday school. Governor Donaghey re- piled by asserting 1t was not de-

PROF. POTTS RETURNED
FROM ROAD CONGRESS
Visited varioue Southern States and
Gives Conditions Of Road Work
40 Hc Found Them.

Prof. r. J. Potts of A. and M. Col.
lege has just returned from the Amer.
lean Good Roads Congress held at
Atlantic City, N. j. Prof. Potts left
here September Is and spent the time
prior to the -convening of the congress
travelling over the Southern states to
study their road laws and to investi.
gate the various methods Of road
work. He found convicts used alto.
gether on the public roads OF Georgia,
North Carolina and Virginia. In Geor
gia and North Carolina the state fur
nishes the convicts to the various
counties, which support them, while in
Virginia the state provides for their
maintenance. In highway legislation,
Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia and
Maryland have made the greatest
progress. Each of those states main
tains department of highways head
ed by commissioner aided by state
engineer. The best roads In the South,
declares Prof. Potts, are to be found
around Atlanta, in Fulton county,
Georgia. The people have construct
ed over three hundred miles of the
best macadam roads. The cutters are
paved with hand-laid tile and the
whole treated with asphalt to bind
1t together and make it permanent.
New Jersey, noted for its good roads,
has many made OF ordinary sand-clay.
Since Texas has no state depart
ment of highways, the board OF d.
rectors of A. and M. College has I'M
dertaken to aid in the development OF
good roads by creating the position OF
highway engineer in connection with
the college, the place now being held
by Prof. Potts. 1t is part OF his bust
ness to help such counties and dis
tricts as may require his services by
suggesting the best methods, of road
construction and the best materials to
be used

THURSDAY, MAY 80, 1912.

The failure Of the railroad commits
sion of Wisconsin to fix the amount
that may be earned on an investment
in an electric railway proposition put
quietus on the plans for 2 new road
from Burlington through the lake re-
gions with the terminus at Racine so
far as the present owners OF the
through electric lines now in operation
are concerned and it is hardly likely
that other outside capital seeking in
vestment will tack up the project SO
long as this uncertainty exists. The
plans for the new route were very at
tractive as outlined and it is fort
innate thing for Kenosha that the seri-
GUS impediment caused by the failure
Of the state commission to fix the earn
ing percentage stood in the way Of
their being carried out. With the
richest districts of the county invaded
by the proposed road it would have
been long time before there would
have been an opening for another line
with terminus in this city. Perhaps
by the time the commission fixes the
rate Kenosha will be prepared with
something to offer to hold the business
that naturally belongs to this city

PLEADS GUILTY TO LARCENY
Boy Admits He Opened Trunk of Ar
menian Pool Room Keeper Police
Keeping Close Eye on Conduct of the
Pool Room at This Time.

William Mccarthy, an eighteen
year old boy, claiming to reside at
Detroit, Michigan, was brought into
the municipal court this morning and
was found guilty of larceny and sent
enced to pay fine of SIS and costs
or serve forty days in the county Jail.
The boy told the court rather in
teresting story of burglaries that had
been planned declaring that with two
companions who We're recently paroll-
ed by the court arrangements had been
talked oyero for burglarizing shoe
store and boarding house. He de-
clared that one of the members of
the boy S gang had a place in Chi
| cogo where he could dispose of the
stuff.
The planned burglaries did not take
Iplace, but Mccarthy, who is known
also as Torrance 0 'Brien and who has
been about Kenosha for several weeks,
admitted that he had broken into a
trunk in the room of Zachariah Bar
sumian, an Armenian, in charge of a
shoe shining parlor at 318 Main street.
The boy admitted that he had taken
a pair of opera glasses and several
pieces of jeWelry from the place on
last Saturday night. After the rob-
berry he had gone to Milwaukee and
Police Officers Maher and Borden
stumbled onto him at one O'Clock this
morning In a box car in the yards of
| the Northwestern Railway Company.
| At the time the officials were search
ing for man who was supposed to
have committed burglary in Racine.
Mccarthy, while decidedly young in
years, seems to be simply a "bird of
passage and his story indicated that
he had done a good deal of tramping
in the past few months.
The court went into the boys story
at length and it is probable that the
police will keep close watch on the
shining parlor in the future. The boy
declared that he had seen gambling
in the place, but this was denied by
the proprietor who declared that no
liquor was sold there and that he had
never permitted any card playing for
money.

PAYS HEAVY FINE.

Alfred Weinholtz, arrested on Sun
day on charges of tampering with an
automobile belonging to Charles Good
speed, was brought before Judge Ran
dali in the municipal court late Mon
day afternoon and after plea of
guilty" had been entered in the case
he was handed fine of $50 and the
costs Of the action. At that the court
was very lenient in the case and the
leniency was due entirely to the fact
that Weinholtz was decidedly peni-
tent and declared that he had no in
tention of disabling the machine and
that the switching of the wires was
simply done for a joke. Under the
Wisconsin law these jokes are decid-
eddy expensive and a prison sentence
might have been given the defendant

MARRIED IN KENosHA.
Dr. C. N. Jones of Racine WEEDS Mrs.

There was quiet little wedding at

age Of Mrs. Catherine c. Muir, de-

Jones of Racine Mrs. Jones came
from Chamberlain, s. d., for the wed
ding. DR.. Jones made no statement in
regard to the reason for coming to
Kenosha to marry, but it is taken for
granted that the announcement of the
wedding when made in Racine today
will come as something of surprise to
the friends Of the well known dentist.

Main street should be repaved
throughout or at least all of the pave
ment should be relaid when the street
railway company puts in the double
tracks along the street. The Main
street pavement has given remarkably
good service, but it is getting in such
condition that it will have to be i'm
proved in the very near future and it
would be better to have this work done
now when the street is all torn up by
the railway company than to let the
railway people go ahead and complete
their improvements and then have to
tear the street all up again IN year
or two to fix the balance Of the pave
ment that is not replaced by the rail
way. The double tracking of the
street will force the railway to inn
prove about half Of the pavement and
the remainder could be put in good
condition cheaper while this work is in
progress than at any time in the fut-
are when the city would have to make
a special job Of it. The Main street
merchants who would benefit most by
the repaying Of the street should take
the matter up and see what can be
done about it. The matter has been
discussed for some time, but nothing
has been decided upon in regard to it
and if anything is to be done it will
Rave to be done quickly. OF course
the principal recommendation for the
plan to have the work done now is
that it can be done more eheaply than
at any other time, but Main street is
the principal business thoroughfare Of
the city and there is no Improvement
which could be made which would di-
rectly benefit so many of our people
as putting this street in first class con-
dition. As minor consideration the
business section Of the city would
make much more favorable impress
sion on visitors than at present.
