Local Harbor Made a Part
of Territory of Chicago
Federal District.
CENTRALIzE WORK IS OBJECT


Kenosha became a part of the Chi
eago district this morning and in the
future all federal work in connection
with the lakes and rivers will be han
died through the Chicago district.
Heretofore Kenosha las been a part
OF the Milwaukee district, but it is un-
derstood that it is the plan of the gov
eminent to- unite the Chicago and Mil
waukee districts and centralize the
work in one office in Chicago. Col.
linn, who has had charge of the Chi
cago district, now has charge of all the
work of the government along the
lakes and while no order of a formal
nature disseminating the Milwaukee
district has been issued, it is expected
that an order of this nature will be
sent out within a short time Wiscon-
sin cities have been fighting hard to
prevent the union of the two districts
as it is feared that the Wisconsin in
terests in federal work will suffer on
account Of the same man having
charge of the larger interests Of the
city of Chicago Major Charles R.
Cromwell, who has been in charge of
the Milwaukee district, has been
transferred to Cleveland and the work
in the Milwaukee office is now in
charge of federal clerk under the
direction of the Chicago manager for
the war department.
The most important work in Keno
sha affected by the change in the pro-
posed sewer in the river. The n. r. Al
len Son company some time ago re-
ceived personal permission from Ma
jor Bromwell to close up the river by
the building of this sewer, and while it
| is thought that the new official will
carry out the plan offered heretofore,
it is probable that some trouble will
arise in getting a new permission for
the proposed sewer.
1t is thought that the Wisconsin har-
bors will have just as much considera-
ton from the new official in Chicago
as they had from Major BromweI in
Milwaukee, and the enlargement of the
district will probably result in the To-
cal harbors receiving even more con
sideration on account Of the fact that
they will become parts of the Chicago
district which is regarded as one Of
the most important in the country.

LIGHTS FOR VEHICLES.

Owners Of Motor Driven Vehicles Are
Urging Protection From tie City.
The owners Of automobiles and other
motor driven vehicles ia Kenosha are
ur9lag that the city officials take some
steps to- have the vehicles of other
nature properly protected by lights.
The drivers Of the motor cars hold
that if they are forced to have lights
! that the drivers of other vehicles
sAould have the same lights. In many
cities of the country ordinances have
been passed demanding lights on all
vehicles and it IS possible that the Ike.
nosha officials will SEQ their way clear
to take the same action.

THOUGHT TO Be FROM CHICAGO
Stores, Saloons and Railway Stations
are Victims of Counterfeiters and
Many Bogus Coins Find Their Way
Into Pockets of Kenosha Citizens.

Better take look over your change
Bogus half dollars are in circulation
in Kenosha and they are circulating in
such numbers that the man who has
not had at least one of them may con
slider himself lucky. The influx of the
| bogus coin was first noticed on Thurs
day morning and by Thursday evening
reports were coming in from all over
the city. Some shrewd showers of the
"queer" evidently made a good haul
in Kenosha and it is thought from re-
Iports that hundreds Of the bogus half
dollars are in circulation. Thus far all
of the counterfeits found in the CITY
are sleek and new and it is thought
that the coins were brought into the
city and the town flooded with them
on Wednesday night and Thursday
morning. There is scarcely a saloon
in the city that escaped and nearly all
sorts of business men were victimized
| by the counterfeiters.
The counterfeits are dangerous ones
as they are so near in appearance and
weight to the coin of the realm that
unsuspecting ones would never notice
the difference. Scores of the bogus
coins have been sent into the banks
only to be returned to the men who
attempted to deposit them. Not one
Of the coins have so far been offered
as legal tender by any one who could
be regarded as a suspicious character
and the police are in a quandary as to
what to do to stop the circulation of
the spurious coins. The railway sta
tions were the especial recipients of
the bad half dollars. On Thursday
morning seven of the counterfeit coins
went over the counter of the office Of
the Milwaukee Electric Railway s.
Light company at the Public Service
Building and three more were brought
in by conductors on the local lines dur
ing the day. One Main street saloon
had six bogus half dollars Thursday
evening and just as soon as it was
discovered that the coins were in cir
culation all merchants began to make
Investigations in the cash drawer. Mer-
chants having small stores on the out
skirts of the city were also victims of
the counterfeiters and it appears that
a studied effort was made to get the
coins in circulation. Today the half
dollar is regarded with suspicion all
over the city and most of the people
are weighing and testing the coins be-
fore accepting them. 1t is generally
believed that the counterfeits were
shipped into Kenosha from Chicago
and that agents of the counterfeiting
gang in the city managed to get a
very large number of them in circula-
tion before the fact was discovered.
Federal officials have received many
complaints of the circulation of these
coins in various Western cities dur
ing the past few months. 1t is thought
that the gang is still busy circulating
the coins in the city and it is expected
that federal officials will come up from
Chicago this afternoon and seek to get
some traces of the men putting, them
in circulation. In the mean time it is
a good plan to fight shy of half dol
lars and accept small change as
preference.

RED TAPE TO GO THE LIMIT
Tally Sheet Contains 81 Pages and
Work on it is so Exacting that it
Will Take Days to Count Vote cast at
General Primary Election in Sept.

| A strike is expected among election
officials on primary day, as County
Clerk Russell H. Jones this morning
received from the secretary of state
copy of the tally sheet to be used in
connection with the counting of the
votes at the primary and every cleo
ton official will have to have all the
acumen of Philadelphia lawyer if he
| is to be able to solve the mystery of
the aforesaid tally sheet. The sheet is
as large as ledger used in recording
the minutes Of the common council of
the city. 1t is bound up like book
and has a total of SO pages. These
pages are marvelously and w2nderous-
ly wrought. They provide places for
the names of candidates on the state,
congressional, legislative aud county
tickets and in addition provision is
made for tabulating the vote that is
cast in the various wards and towns
for ward and precinct committeeman.
Not only will the election officials be
called upon to tabulate in this book
the votes cast for the candidates, but
they must also tabulate the second
choice of the various voters. Provision
is made for ten candidates on the
county tickets and the clerk will have
to arrange for a special tally sheet if
any more candidates than this number
break into the campaign. The State
demands that this form Of tally sheet
be used and Kenosha county will have
to provide at least two of these vol
umes for each voting place. Printing
shops in different parts of the state
are running over time in an effort to
get out these books. They are to be
sold at IS cents each and the cost of
tally sheets will be one of the big
charges in connection with the holding
| of the primary.
With the red tape that is demanded
in the tabulation and counting of the
vote at the primary it is certain that
| it will take several days to get out the
| figures and the cost of the primary will
be largely in excess of other years.
The question has been raised as to the
manner in which the election officials
/ will be paid. In the past provision has
been made for one days work, but
with the new system, it will be phys
ical impossibility for the election off
Gals to complete the work in one day.
In the big wards of the city the Off
Gals will be kept busy for two or three
days if the work demanded by the
state is carried out to the letter.
The work will fall heavily not only
on the election officials, but also on
1.-THE official canvassing board and the
work Of this board will be doubled
several times.
Efforts are being made to have the
voters take some interest in the selec-
tlon OF the party committee at the
coming primary as the officials select
ed at that time Will remain in office
for the next two years. They will
have charge of the general election to
be held this year and of the city cleo
lions and judicial elections to be held
next year.

LOTUS BUDS DYING
High Water May Kill all of
the Flowers at Fox Lake
Beds This Year.
WATER IN LAKE SETS RECORD

People who each year for many
years have made journeys to the IA
nous lotus beds located in Grass Lake,
just north of Fox Lake, will be much
concerned in hearing that residents of
the Grass Lake section fear that there
will be no floral display in the big
lotus fields this year.
| The huge patch of lotus plants is
now covered with water as result
Of the lake level just now being three
feet and one inch higher than normal
land much higher than oldest residents
recall it within the past forty years.
The lotus plant rises just about three
| feet from the water and the flower
towers over the plant.
It is pointed out that the water can
not recede now by blooming time, in
August, to permit the flowers to come
out, therefore it is felt that there will
be practically no lotus this year, for
the first time in many seasons. The
Grass lake lotus beds are famous the
world over, being the largest in the
world and according to reports, I'M
rivalled in beauty even by the famous
beds of Egypt.
Fox and Grass lakes are so high that
much damage has been created in that
section. Numerous piers, boat houses,
bridges, etc. have been carried away
by the usual amount of water and in
many cases lawns and flower gardens
along the lake shore have been com
pletely inundated
