CLAIMS TO CONTRACTORS.
City Attorney Ordered to Ask Contrac-
tors to Pay Damages.


The. council committee on claims
held a meeting at the city hall on Fri
day night to investigate the claims of
B. Barowski and Conrad Hansis made
against the city as result of the
building of the trunk sewer. Barrow
ski, who alleged that his house was
damaged and his child injured as a
result Of an exposition of giant powder
during the building of the sewer
claimed 5000 and Conrad Hansis claim
ed $1,000 for damages done to his
house. Both claimants were advised
that their claims should be fled with
the contractors for payment as under
the contract with the city the Cleary,
White, Newman Company assumes all
Of these Liabilities. Mr.. Hansis has a
further claim against the city for the
trunk sewer passing through his
property the city failing to secure any
easement at the time the work was
started. It is probable that this claim
will be anlicably adjusted by the com
mittee later. The committee agreed
to comproise the claim of G. Peter
sen at 800.

Report of sale of Seals in Kenosha
Now Being Made Up.

Kenosha. people sold 10000 Red
Cross seals during the holiday season
and the report Of the sales in Kenosn1
is now being made up to be sent to
the state committee. The sale is more
than 10000 in excess of the sales made
in Kenosha last year and it il thought
that with this record Kenosha will
rank among the leading cities of the
state. It is certain, however that Ke-
nosha will not stand at the very head
Of the cities of the state as reports
from several other cities show much
larger proportionate sale of the seals.
The public school Children this year
sold a total Of $500 worth of the
Christmas stiezers, this being more
than $3.50 more than the amount re-
ceived from the schools last year.
Under the agreement that has been
made with the state association one
fourth of the amount realized from the
sale of the seals will 60 to the Asso-
cited Charities and the funds Of this
organization will be boosted by about
$500.

WOULD INSURE DEPOSITS.
Wisconsin Bankers Plan a Mutual III
surance Society.

surance Society.
1t is probable that before the next
session Of the legislature the bankers
of the state will have formed plans
for mutual insurance society to in
sure the deposits III the banks Of the
state. A committee appointed some
time ago is working on plan of this
kind in conjunction with Insurance
Commissioner Ekern and Bank Ex-
aminer Kuolt.
The plan was suggested at the time
of the meeting of the last legislature
when the bill for the guarantee Of
bank deposits was up 1t was said
then that before another session Of the
legislature some mutual insurance
plan which would meet all demands re-
garding the safety of deposits would
be evolved. This is what is being
done now. Secretary George d. Bart
lett of the Wisconsin Bankers Associa-
ton said that the matter was being
discussed at all the group meetings
and before this time next year work
able plan which would be safe and
sane would be presented to the bank
ers of the state. It is realized that
something of this kind must be done
or otherwise the state guarantee of
deposits is almost certain to come.
would have means of knowing the con-
dition of the banks taken in and for
which they would stand responsible,
while under the state guarantee of de-
posits every kind Of bank would come
under the guarantee regardless Of its
standing. 1t was to this that most
objections were made during the de-
bates last winter in the Legislature.

For present members, who may de.

The committee will further recon-
mend that present members shall have
the option of combining both Whole
Life and Term assurances in the same
Benefit certificate. A member may
desire to carry small amount OF
Whole Life insurance and a larger
amount of Term insurance for GER
tain period of time when his need for
cheap insurance, and the largest
amount he can afford to carry, is
greatest. A combined Term and
Whole Life certificate will be recon-
mended for the purpose of affording
the Neighbors this privilege.
Finally, the suggestion has been
made to the committee, and the mem
bers thereof are not out of sympathy
with it, that Benefit certificates on the
Whole Life plan shall be issued in
amounts as low as 800, 5000 and $500
at proportionately low Whole Life rate.
This suggestion would seem reason

.MAR|N|V| COMES BACK
Italian Who Disappeared in
June After Shooting At
fray Is Arrested,
JAS. MARINNI ARRESTED AGAIN

The family feud among the men,
bers Of the Marinni family, prominent
among the Italians of the city, bobbed
up serenely again Oh Friday, when
Frank Marinni, the one of the broth
ers who had escaped from Kenoshss at
the time of the wholesale shooting last
June, returned to Kenosha. He was
promptly picked up by the police ana
taken before the district attorney and
that official demanded conference of
the entire Marinni family before he
went any deeper into the case. Frank
Marinni disappeared within ten min
utes after his brother, James Marinni,
had shot the three brothers and at the
time James came up for hearing it
was alleged by the other two brothers
that Frank .Marinni had been the
cause of the trouble. The case against
James Marinni was dropped temporari-
" on account of lack of witnesses.
When Frank returned he declared that
the story that he had started the trou-
BILE was false and he seemed to be
backed up by the other brothers. The
district attorney at once ordered the
arrest Of James Marinni on charges of
assault and battery and ne directed
that Frank Marinni be held as wit
ness against his brother. Both OF the
brothers were remanded to Jail, but
later they managed to furnish bonds
and they were discharged from custo-
dy pending the adjourned hearing set
for next week. Frank Marinni was one
Of the brothers shot in the row, but ne
managed to leave Kenosha and went
to Chicago, where he has been Ia hid
ing since. His wound has entirely
healed, but he does not seem to be will
ling to let the charges against his
brother drop and it is probable that the
case will go to trial.

MUST HAVE PAPERS
Foreigners Who Serve in
Army Not Naturalized
by Service.
NEW RULE IS ISSUED

The division of naturalization, de-
partment of commerce and labor,
Washington, D. O., have given John
Tfumbull, clerk Of the Racine circuit
court, an opinion on the matter Of an
alien seeking naturalization papers
and who has served in the United
States marine corps for a period Of
four years The question concerning
an alien who has served in the United
States army OF navy and who after
discharge seeks naturalization pa
pers, has often been brought up in
court. When an alien or any other
lperson enlists for service in the
United States army or navy, he swears
allegiance to this country and it is
presumed that then an alien becomes
a citizen of the United States.
| Under the decision of the division
of naturalization it is found that an
alien who has served in the United
States army or navy need not take
out first papers. The decision follows:
Clerk, Circuit Court,
Racine, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter Of the 18th instant, wherein in
quiry is made relative to the requi-
sites of a petition for naturalization
to be filed by an alien who has served
four years in the United States ma
rine corps, and has received an honor
able discharge therefrom.
In reply, you are advised that the
division believes that persons honor
ably discharged from the marine
corps are in all respects amen
able to the general provisions. of the
act of June 90, 1906, excepting that
they are exempt under the act Of July
| 26, 1904, from the necessity of filing
declaration of intention if their
service covered full enlistment of
IOuf years. 1t Is U6llGNGd buCbJ N6-
fore a court could assume Jurisdiction
to entertain a petition for naturaliza-
ton of such person he must have
resided within the state in which said
petition is filed for period of one
year at least, and that he is required
to establish, in addition to that one
year, sufficient period of residence
in the United States immediately pre-
ceding the date Of fling his petition
to complete the five years continuous
residence required by the law to be
established. If his service in the ma
rine corps took him from the United
States, the question as to whether
such service would be considered as
residence in the United States would
be one for the determination of the
court.

Chicago Brass Company to
Retain It's Identity Next
Year at Least.
BIG PLANTS CONSOLIDATED

Announcement was made in New
York this morning of consolidation
Of the principal subsidiary companies
of the American Brass company, but
the kilograms from the east state that
the Chicago Brass company Of this
city, which for some time has been the
western distributing plant of the great
brass company, is not included in the
consolidation The COMPARES particu-
lally mentioned as losing tneir identi-
| ty and becoming parts of the American
Brass company are the Ansonia Brass
aud Copper company, of Ansonia; the
Benedict and Burnham company, at
Waterbury; the Coe Brass company, Of
ITorrington, and the Waterbury Brass
company. In the past these companies
have all been known to the trade under
their individual names, but in the fut-
lure they will be known as branches
of the American Brass company, The
Chicago Brass Company, Of Kenosha, by
far the largest western property of the
company; the Waterbury Brass Goods
company, and the Ansonia Land and
Power company will be retained under
the stock ownership plan for the pres
emit. The officials of the company seem
to appreciate the suggestion that these
companies have been left out of the
direct management of the great hold
ing company with view of getting
away from the suggestion of brass
trust, but they declare that under the
conditions the American Brass company
would be just as liable to prosecution
with these companies out as with them
in.
officials at the Office of the Chicago
Brass company here today declared
that they had received no official no
tice of the consolidation of the plants,
but they admitted that they had I'M
derstood that the Kenosha plant was
to retain its old identity in business
circles. It is stated that the ownership
of the Kenosha company is just as
much part of the American Brass
company as any Of the companies con
solidated. There is a lot of local pride
among the employees of the Kenosha
plant and these men have been anxious
to have the plant retain at least the
semblanee of an Independent company.
The American Brass company is cap
italized at $40, 100000 and it now prac-
fically controls the brass output Of the
country. The Kenosha plant has been
increasing by great bounds during the
past few years, until at the present
time it is one of the largest holdings
Of the company.

Parole officer of Green Bay Reforma-
tory Has Little to Do Here.

tory Has Little to Do Here.
A. p. Greenhagen of Green Bay, pa
role officer from the Wisconsin State
Reformatory, was in Kenosha today
making arrangements for the parole Of
Edward Hensel, who is to be released
from the Green Bay institution just as
soon as employment can be found for
him .Hensel has served long term at
the state institution and his term will
expire in March of next year.
Agent Greenhagen declares that he is
rapidly losing interest IN Kenosha coun-
ty on account of the fact that only a
small number of young men from this
county are being sent 10 the Green Bay
institution. Of the 261 inmates of the
state institution but three are from
Kenosha county. During the year only
two were sent to Green Bay from this
county. Court officials declare that this
has not been on account of the fact
that the reformatory is not liked in
this county, but that it has been due
to the fact that the men pleading gull
ty to crimes were old offenders. While
but two have been sent to the reforma-
story, 2S have been sentenced to the
Estate prison at Waupun during the
year.

SEEK MISSING GIRL.
Another Violet Buehler Search Starts in
Kenosha for Anna Brown.

People from Highland Park were in
Kenosha today seeking to find some
trace of Anna Brown, missing High
land Park girl, who left her home there
on the night before Christmas She is
alleged to have purchased ticket on
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
road for Kenosha, although it was not
known what she planned to do when
she reached this city. The missing girl
is IL years of age and this is the first
time that she has ever left her home.
1t is claimed tnat she had been very
friendly with one of the recruits from
the naval training station and it is
thought possible that she eloped with
him. No trace of the girl can be found
in Kenosha and the whole story of her
Disappearance is SO indefinite that the
officials have little to work on in seek
to find her.

Kenosha County Ice Harvest
Expected to Be Started
Sometime Next Week.
BIG HOUSES BEING OPENED
Companies Seeking Force of 5000 Men
to Aid in Cutting Ice from Kenosha
County Lakes and Amount of Ice Cut
VIII Break All Records for County.

The coming of the cold weather has
made one class of men happy and
that is the ice men and already the
Chicago ice companies have begun to
send men into the county to open up
the houses and prepare for the annual
ice cutting season which is now
scheduled to open the middle of next
week if the cold weather holds out.
There is now from four to six inches
of ice on the Wisconsin lakes ana with
a week of cold weather The ice cutting
season will be in full swing. Already
there is great activity in the lake re-
gions of the county.
The boarding houses which have
been closed during the summer months
are being reopened and the ice houses
have nearly all been opened up and
the machinery put into condition for
operation. All that is needed to start
the annual harvest is continuance
of the freezing weather for the next
two or three days Many of the Chi
cage ice companies are now looking TO
Kenosha county for the lions share
of the ice to be sold in Chicago dur
ing the coming season and it is pre-
dicted that the season for cutting ice
will be longer in this county than ever
before. All of the houses of the big
Chicago companies are empty and for
the last two months ice has been
shipped in from other states and from
Canada in order to meet the winter
demands on the companies. 1t is de-
clared that the companies will not be-
gin storing ice in the houses along the
lakes for more than month even if
the best of weather prevails as all
the ice that can be cut can be used
in filing the houses in Chicago.
Employment agents are busy getting
together the force of men to aid III
the cutting season and it is said that
at least four thousand men will be
needed in Kenosha county alone. La
Dor of this kind is decidedly scarce
this year and most of the men are be-
ing recruited from the lodging house
districts in Chicago. In Milwaukee
it is impossible to get men as the Mil
waukee ice companies have already
started the cutting season and every
available man has been employed.
The railway companies are seeking
every possible car for use in tho ice
business and it is thought that the
shipping of ice from the Kenosha
lakes will start within the next ten
days
During tho summer and autumn
months there has been considerable
building by the ice companies ara
many of the houses in Kenosha county
have been greatly enlarged. Several
new houses have been erected and it
is declared that there is room for the
storage of the greatest ice crop in the
history Of the county.

Bowling is becoming almost as much
of a national pastime in winter as
baseball is in summer and the records
Of the games and tournaments occupy
nearly as much space in the papers.
IT is national sport all right and
everybody gets in on it without re-
gard to race, color, or previous con-
dition Of servitude The names on the
entry lists Of any tournament read
like a list of delegates to an interna-
tional congress.
