STATE ASSOCIATION is BUSY
Members of Council May Be Asked to
Make Appropriation from City Fund
IF State Aid Can Be Secured for Hos
pital Operated by the City.


At the next meeting of the city
council the aldermen will be asked to
take some formal action TO provide a
" city" hospital for the care of
patients in the advanced stages Of
consumption and the state anti tuber-
culosis association is now aiming all of
its guns at aldermen with y view of
showing the great demand for such an
institution in the city. Several of the
members of the council are favorable
to the city acting irrespective Of the
recent action of the county board in
turning down the proposed plan for a
joint movement along this line. The
city committee has an excellent site
for such an institution in sight and it
is declared that the institution can be
opened with the expenditure on the
part of the city Of few hundred dol
lars. Alderman Werner, chairman of
the committee of the council has de-
clared that he has. absolutely nc place
to care for people suffering from the
disease. At the present time there are
several patients in boarding houses
Of the city and the proprietors Of these
places have demanded that the city
take some action to care for them
Miss S. NJ. Tate,~ state field agent
for the state association, has notified
local officials that she has not given up
the fight in this county and that she
will come to Kenosha and seek to aid
III the establishing of a temporary sani-
tarium for the care Of the sufferers.
The main snag in the way of the city
taking up the matter is the fact that
should the institution be opened by
the city without the cooperation of the
county board it would be impossible
for the institution to get state aid.
This matter is to be taken up with
the state board of control and if the
state will agree to aid the city it is
more than probable that the plan will
be adopted by the council.
The cost of maintaining the institu-
ton for the year would probably be
in the Aeighborhood of $500 and it
is not improbable that at the end of
the year the county board would con-
sent to make small appropriation to
reimburse the city for caring for
these patients. Several of the members
Of the county board have urged the
calling of a joint meeting of the board
and the council with the idea Of hav.
ing some understanding in regard to
the matter.
Supervisor John t. ,Yule, who is a
member Of the county board commit
tee, declares that he is entirely agree
able to such plan, but he desires
to have the full committee of the
board present at such conference.

ONLY SHORT TRIP PLANNED
Aldermen Will See Filters at Naval
Training Station, Moline, I'LL, and at
University of Chicago and Then Ask
Company Agents for Suggestions.


Members of the special committee in
charge of investigating the question of
securing purer water for the city have
been called to meet on next Sunday
afternoon and at that time arrange
Ments will be made for the first of the
official visits to be made by the cont
mittee. DR.. j. B. Spalding, who has
been acting as secretary for the com
mittee has now collected a large amount
of data in regard to filtration plants
and he is ready to suggest TO the COM
mittee the itinerary for visits. 1t is
stated that the first places to be visit
ed win include the naval training sta
ton at Lake Bluff, Moline, ILL.,, and the
University of Chicago. At the naval
training Station the government en-
ployod the best possible experts on the
filtration problem and it is declared
that the plant installed there is one
which has given the best satisfaction.
Moline has plant which is just about
the size of the one that has been sug-
gested for Kenosha and it is thought
that the personal investigation of CON
ditions there will be particularly in
teresting to the members of tire com
mittee. At the University of Chicago
the filtration plant has attracted the
attention Of experts and it has been
declared to be almost the best possible
type of low cost plant. 1t is expected
that &c officials viii be able 70 rake
the rounds of these places in a two
days trip. Following these visits the
agents for the various companies en-
gagged In the manufacture of filters
viii be invited to come to Ken0sha and
appear before the council and make
suggestions as to what is the best form
of filtration to be adopted in the city.
1t is expected that these men will
have some suggestions to make and
I they may bring some facts that will
offer new cities at which investigations

With the coming of the spring wealth
er the committee has planned to make
exhaustive tests of the lake water.
These plans are all outlined and just
as soon as the weather will permit trips
out into the lake many samples will
be secured and these will be sent to the
various laboratories for examination.
All the data that has been secured from
the cities in regard to conditions of the
lake water has been retained and placed
in condition for use when the samples
of water from the lake off Kenosha
are examined. In all it is expected that
the committee will have more than a
hundred samples of water tested and
when these tests are completed it will
be possible to tell just what kind of
water can be secured at different points
in the lake.
The committee will not make any
report to the council or seek to make
any estimate of cost of securing purer
water until its Investigations are com
pleted. 1t may be that it will never
take up the matter of installing fill
ter and the suggestions of the commit
tee viii revert to the old plan of build
ing new and larger intake, which
will extend farther out into lake Mich
igan.

HOLDS UP DECREE.
Attorneys Seeking Divorce for Clients
Must Not Fail to Observe Laws.

In the circuit court on Tuesday Judge
Belden declined to grant divorce in
a suit brought by Samuel Walcbli
against his wife, Elizabeth Walchli, on
account of the fact that the attorney in
the case had failed to file copies Of
the summons and complaint in the ac-
ton on the divorce counsel IN the limit
of time set by the law. Attorney Drury
was given the papers in the case only
short time before the hearing was
called In court. He declared that he
could not intelligently represent the
state in the action and at his request
the case was held open. The husband
and wife had an agreement to separate
and the case was complicated one
Divorce Counsel Drury has declared
that in the future he will refuse to
give his sanction to the entering of
judgments in divorce actions unless the
papers are regularly served on him.

Fan Talks baseball,

Fan Talks baseball.
A postal card from a fan takes
the writer to task in these WORDS
"You lay 10 much stress on the many
things against Mr.. C, n. Williams.
You say In your sporting column:
when 1t comes down to fair treat
ment the Interests of the fans and
tho club are one You are such an
admirer OF Mr.. w. b. Bradley. Was
past season? Two wrongs never
made q right, but don't put the whip
on one back" The card Is signed
r.. J. Tucker. q fan. ~
Because Of the courtesy Of Mr..
Tucker his little note Is given proper
attention. The writer In commenting
on the situation in the Virginia
League has merely pointed out the
attitude Of Mr.. williams in regard
to compromising and thus composing
the trouble In the Virginia League.
The good work OF Mr.. Williams
In establishing q club In Norfolk and
endeavoring to conduct the leagues
affairs thoroughly and honestly have
been given due appreciation.
Mr.. Williams personally Is a most
pleasant, courteous and estimable
gentleman.
But tho statement L. repeated that
no one man u Of more importance
than the entire Virginia League and
II w. b. Bradley was as amenabls
to compromising matters as Mr.. Will
liams appears to be, he would come
In for the same criticism. Tho
chances are. however. that Mr.. Brad
ley would not place himself In the
position that Mr.. Willtams has as
sumed. He Is an experienced baseball
man. II that be admiration OF him
let It 60 at that.
As far AZ his treatment OF the local
fans Il concerned. Mr.. Bradley de-
clares that he has done his best to
get q winning team In Richmond and
under the conditions that exist In the
Virginia League he appears to be
doing all he says. Mr.. Bradley should
be a good enough business man to
realise that he must please the fans
II he expects them TO come to hts
park. He has been in the game long
enough to know II. II he doesn't 1t
Is time he learned.
Certainly two wrongs do not make
a right any more than two bad de-
cisions by an umpire make a good
one. To be sure some umpires look
at 1t that way and II they miss q
good ball will call the next one a
strike. But knocking the home team
IL not considered the proper thing
among the dyed-in-the-wool fans. II
IL oil right to tell where improve
ments may be made. but knocking
Is not regarded as good form. 1t
was not the purpose Of the writer to
put ''all the whip on one back" but
to drive home some very evident facts.
even II forcible phrases had to be en-
ployed. Plain words are always neces-
sary In stating facts. owing to the
lack OF comprehension on the part
OF many.
