SPECIAL SESSION MARCH 20.
Members Of Board Declare Proposed
Repairs Will Not Be Sufficient and
Started Movement to Secure Erection
of Modern Building.

A petition was put in circulation this
morning for the calling Of a specil
session of the Kenosha county board
to be held on March goth. At this time
It is planned to take up the big prob
lem Of abandoning The building now
used as the home Of the municipal
court and the building of modern
court house for this purpose. Supervis-
or E. F.. Markham, of the Third ward,
took out the petition for the proposed
session this morning and it is expected
that the official call for the special
session will be issued by Chairman
Burg tomorrow. 1t is planned to have
the meeting before the spring elections
with a view Of having the members of
The board who have been well acquaint-
ed with the conditions act in the mat
ter. At the last meeting of the board
the sum Of $4,000 was appropriated
for the rebuilding Of the old county
building now used by the municipal
court, but after the letting of the con-
tracts for the work along the lines
submitted to the board many members
Of the board have expressed dissatis-
faction and the move is now to build
an entirely new building. The promot
ers of this plan have no plans for such
building more than they insist that
the county should build modern build
ing which shall be in keeping with
the demands of the court. 1t is thought
that such a building could be erect
ed at d cost of about $4,000. 1t would
be impossible for the, county board to
levy q tax for the immediate building
of new court house, but if the plan
meets with favor it would be possible
for the board to order bond issue to
provide the funds needed. 1t is prob
able that it would take the greater part
Of the summer to get the plans and
specifications necessary and it would
not be possible to begin the work much
before the building season of 1913. If
this should be found the case it would
be possible for the board to make pro-
vision for theAmoney at the next No
vember session.
The plan of building new court
house has been discussed by the board
for some time and it is possible that at
the special session plan will be sug-
,gested for uniting both the circuit
and municipal courts under the same
roof. This would make possible the
building of modern court house which
would provide chambers for both the
courts and at the same time provide
new and modern office rooms for the
use of the county officials. The whole
thing has come so suddenly that some
of the members Of the board are very
much in doubt as to what course they
should take The plans for the re
building Of the old building are salts
factory to some Of the members of the
board and it is just possible that these
members will strongly object to a spe-
cial session.
The further Developments in the case
will be watched with a great deal of
interest.

LOCAL CAMP NOT AFFECTED
Few Members of Kenosha Camp Liable
to Have Policies Forfeited on Ac-
count Of Activity in Promoting New
Organizations in the ordexs

Members of the Modern Woodmen
OF America in Kenosha are taking a
deep interest in the letters which
have been sent out from the head;
camp dealing with the case of In
surgent Camps and Members and the
letter IS nothing more or less than an
implied threat that the insurgent camps
may have their charters removed and
the insurging members may have their
policies forfeited by the head camp.
The letter is issued over the sigma
ture of Head Consul A. r. Talbot and
is designed as warning to the Nom
bers and the camps of just what may
happen if some Of the plans to dis
rupt the society are carried further.
Thus far the Kenosha Woodmen
have not been active in any OF the
efforts to fight the adoption of the
new rates by the organization of new
organizations and the clerk of the local
camp has not noticed any great in
crease in the lapses. The head officials
are evidently determined to maintain
tie original organization even if it
becomes necessary to get rid of some Of
the camps and render Invalid lot
of existing insurance policies. The re-
vocation of the charter of any camp
or the revocation of the insurance po-
icy of any member of the order can
be made effectiTe by vote of the
board of directors and the executive
committee Of the head camp.
SKenosha Woodmen are not getting
hysterical over this matter, said one
Of the old time members of the camp
this morning, ssand the warning from
Head Consul Talbot will not have any
great effect one way or the other in
Kenosha. The Kenosha Woodmen
have taken up this matter in sane
way and they are fully advised that
they have year in which to make up
their minds as to whether they will
accept the proposed new rates or not.
There are lot Of the members of
the Kenosha camp who are going to
accept the rates and maintain the or
ganization. IF others desire to drop
out they will not be urged to continue
their payments. 1t is matter for the
individual member to settle and not a
matter for the camp. The Kenosha
camp is going to remain loyal to the
head camp and the great majority of
the members appreciate the fact that
the insurance feature Of the organiza-
tion is being carried out with as little
cost to the members as is possible if
the Woodmen are to have protection. y
1t is an open secret that several of
the leaders of the Woodmen in Keno
sha have been asked to join III rove
ments for the organization of a new
society, but none of them has become
identified with these movements.

AUTO ACCIDENT IN COURT.
Malcolm Kehlor Named as Defendant in
$500 Damage Suit Filed Today

er action for damages for personal In
juries in the circuit court, as this morn
in gattorneys for Mrs. Susanna b.
rosko, of the town of Bristol, filed a
suit naming Malcolm Kehlor as de-
PENDANT in which a. demand is made for
$1,000. In the complaint Mrs. Borosko
alleges that on June "a, 1911, she was
sitting in a wagon on Grand avenue
when au automobile driven by Kehlor
collided with the wagon. She alleges
that she was thrown out and suffered
severe bruises and the fracture OF two
ribs. She alleges that she has never full

Kenosha merchants and business men
and all others interested in road i'm
provement in this city are being urged
to take some action looking towards
the selection of the lake shore road
as the route for the proposed through
highway between Milwaukee and Chi
cago and even at this late date it
might be possible to accomplish some
thing provided the people Of all the
lake shores cities displayed sufficient
interest in the matter and were pre-
pared to spend some money on the pro-
ject. The route which has been decid
ed upon which runs far to the west
would be of no value whatever to anv
of the lake shore cities, but it is de-
clared that the expense of improving it
would be far less than that Of putting
the lake shore road in good condition
and it is up to the advocates Of the
lake shore road to show that its adj
vanstages more than outweigh the diff
ference in the cost of improving it.

1t is stated that many Of the de-
linquent water bills are due to dis
putes between owner and tenant as
to which is responsible for the pay
ments, but the water company has no
interest in these little differences All
the water commissioners want is the
money for the water and they refuse
to act as umpires in any disputes more
than to hurry up matters a little by
ordering the water turned off until
somebody decides to pay.

IF the Democrats have their way

United states navy on the day Of the

in fifth place among the naval pow
ers, with less fighting strength than
France or Japan says Secretary Mey-

figures he submits indicate that the

strength fan as much as II we had
stopped building vessels ten years ago
The argument ought 20 prevail We

expect the renewal in the spring Of tn
war scare over Japan, by way Of Mex
