SEEK MISSING HEIRS.
Children of Dan. Sanborn, Who Died in
Astoria, Ore, Being Sought Here.

The police Of the city have received
a letter from Attorney Frank Spittle
Of Astoria, Ore, asking them to make
an effort to find some trace of the
children of Daniel Sanborn, at one
time resident Of Kenosha. In 1886
in the circuit court here Frances M.
Sanborn was granted a divorce from
Daniel Sanborn and given the custody
of the five minor children. Later San
born left Kenosha and went to Ore
gon where he lived until the time of
his death short time ago. Sanborn
left considerable of an estate and he
directed that it be turned over to his
children. 1t is declared that Sanborn
had lost trace of the children long
time ago and had never heard from his
divorced wife following the court hear
ing of the case. 1t is not thought that
Mrs. Sanborn OF any Of the children
are now living in Kenosha, but the
police are hopeful of finding some one
who can give the information desired.
The estate, held for the children is
said to be considerable one.

Council Committee to Seek
Low Fares on Extended
Railway Lines
EXPECT lNTERURBAN GAR SOON
Ordinance for Double Track on Main
Street and Market Square Track Pre-.
scented to the Council at the Meet
ing of Monday Evening.

The ordinance providing for the Law
i ing Of double tracks for the Kencsha
Electric Railway company was pre-
sented to the common council at the
meeting on Monday evening and it
was ordered published at the expense
OF the promoters, with the understand
ing that the council will act on it at
the earliest possible meeting. In ,on.
nection with the ordinance, which ia
an amendment to the former ordinance
the council took up the question of Sc
curing an extension of the zone for five
cent fares, so as to make it possible
for the passengers on the line to pay
single fare for ride to all parts of
the city and to provide transfers for
passengers coming into the city on the
lines OF the Milwaukee, Racine and
Kenosha lice. The ordinance is in nc
way an involved one and it was ex-
lplained that the property owners along
the right of way for the double track
and about the park on Market Square
would receive the same benefits in the
nature of rebates for pavement that
have been paid to people on other
streets under the old ordinance.
Manager Loughridge of the railway
company appeared before the council
and stated that his company would be
yllling to make any reasonable plan
for fare zone and that the company
would state at this time that transfers
would be given to people coming into
the city on interurban cars.
With view of taking up this mat
ter with representatives of the two
companies the mayor named a special
committee, composed of aldermen
Pirsch, Marlatt, Willems, Thomey and
Burt to take up all these questions with
the two companies. The mayor will also
be member of the committee and a
meeting of the interested parts will be
held before the next meeting of the
council. Suggestion was made that now
would be an excellent time to secure
a repaving of Main street and re-
pair of the Main street bridge and it
| is possible that the special committee
will be able to secure some aid in this
work from the men who represent the
railway company.
The cars of the interurban company
may be running into Kenosha within
the next month, as it was shown to the
council that all that was necessary to
have the big cars run down town was
to have the proper easement signed by
a majority OF the property owners
along the right of way. The members
Of the special committee agreed to take
up the matter of securing these ease
tments and it is declared that this
matter will be taken up tomorrow and
pushed to successful conclusion. The
easements must be signed by a majority
of the property owners on Main street,
Milwaukee avenue and North Main
street.
In the meantime there will be no de-
lay in providing for the passage Of the
double track ordinance for while the
committee is busy .dickering on other
problems the ordinance will be given
the required publications. 8

President Taft Names Ferd-
inand Geiger to Succeed
Judge Quarles.
SENATE TO CONFIRM TODAY
Final Efforts Made in Behalf of Judge
Belden Fail to Secure Holding up of
Appointment Geiger Supported by
Able Men in the District

The name Of Ferdinand A. Geiger,
Milwaukee attorney, on Monday was
nominated by President Taft to be dis
trict Judge Of the eastern district Of
| Wisconsin to succeed the late Joseph
/ n. Quarles.
| The appointment for this district
has been pending for several months,
the contest for the place having been
spirited. Among those who were men,
toned for the post were Judge e. b.
Belden Of Racine, Guy p. Golf, United
States district attorney, Congressman
James o. Davidson of Oshkosh and
Judge w. D. Tarrant Of Milwaukee.
Ferdinand A. Geiger, whose name
has been sent in by President Taft for
Judge Of the United States court for
the eastern district of Wisconsin, is a
native of Cassville, Wis, where he was
born on Oct. 15, 1867. He comes of
German stock, his father, John Gel
ger, having been born in Orb, Germany,
and came to this country in 1888, and
to Cassville in 1850.
! Mr.. Geiger received his early educa-
tion in the schools of his native town.
In 1883 he went to Madison, where he
entered high, school and after one year
there entered the University of Wis
consin. After his graduation in the
Iclassical course in 1883, he entered the
law department being graduated in
the class Of that department in 1890.
On graduation he entered law Of
fee in Madison, where he remained
only a short time before he received
an offer to come to Milwaukee and en-
ter the office of the firm of Miller,
Moves & Miller Mr. Geiger remained
with this firm until 1894, when he
formed law partnership with John b.
Burke and N. S. Robinson. This firm
was dissolved a year later, and Mr..
Geiger and Mr.. Robinson continued to-
gether until 1896, when they separated.
Mr.. Geiger has been ii practice alone
since that time.
| Mr.. Geiger was married in 1897 to
Miss Katherine Mayhem. They have
four children. Their home is at SSS
Summit avenue.
My appointment by the president
to the United States district bench is
an honor which | deeply appreciate, es-
pecially coming as it did without an
active candidacy on my part said
Mr.. Geiger Monday afternoon.
Il feel that, after what I may ft-
tingly term an unevcntful practice of
the law for twenty years, this judicial
appointment is rare honor. If CON
firmed by the senate | will assume the
new duties as soon as possible, as the
death of Judge Quarles and the neces-
sary attendance of Judge Sanborn up
on duties in his own district has left
the eastern district without Judge
for some time. | will, Of course, have
to take a little time to straighten up
my private affairs and attend to legal
matters III which I have been inter-
ested. =
| The new judge bore his honors rod-
estly, but was constantly interrupted
during the interview BY telephone
calls fro.a friends wishing to extend
congratulations.

HEIRS TO SEEK HIS ESTATE
Hanks Died in the Eighties but County
Court Shows There Was no Admins
tration in Court Will Discovered by
Accident by Heirs Now Living Here.

The estate OF Lew Hanks, one tune
La wealthy farmer in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, who died more than
thirty years ago, is to be divided in
keeping with the provisions Of the last
will and testament of the deceased for
notwithstanding the fact that proper
ty owned by Hanks has passed into
the hands Of strangers and his heirs
are widely scattered an application
was made in the county court this
morning to have his last will and tesla
ment admitted to probate. The will
which bears the date Of Feb. rs. 1876,
was recently discovered among a lot
of musty records in the vaults Of the
county court and Alfred l.. Drury, WHO
appeared for some Of the heirs this
morning is now making an effort to
locate the heirs to the estate with a
view Of having the estate settled in
keeping with the provisions OF the will.
Following the death of Mr.. Hanks
in the early eighties the property was
divided by the heirs who were then
in the county and no administration
Of the estate was demanded from the
county court. By the terms of the
will Mr.. Hanks arranged that his wi
dow, long since dead, should receive
$500 annually during her life time and
after the payment Of this annuity the
will provided that the remainder OF
the property Of the estate should be
divided equally among the other heirs
with the exception that 81 600 should
be taken from the portion of the
estate for Warren Hanks and divided
among the other heirs.
The children were Julia Harper, Will
liam Hanks, now living at Winthrop
Harbor, Warren Hanks, Marietta Gay,
Hobart Hanks, George Hanks and
Charles Hanks. The petition for the
admission Of the will to probate will
be made by Mrs. George Hanks, who
is now living in Kenosha The mem
bers of the family seem to be widely
scattered and while it is known that
some of them are dead others are sup
posed to be living. Charles Hanks,
who is alleged to have secured much of
the property after the death of his
father, disappeared from Kenosha be-
tween 1880 and 1890 and his sisters
and brothers have not been able to
get any trace Of him.
Before any settlement Of the estate
can be made it will be necessary to
find the heirs or secure proper proof
that they are dead.
Levi Hanks was one Of the pioneer
residents Of the town of Pleasant Prai-
RE and at the time of his death his
children never thought Of looking
among the documents at the court
house for a will. The suggestion was
brought to them by al article recent
|ly published in this paper and when
an investigation was made the Will
was one Of the first papers found It
is possible that the incident will result
in other people taking an interest in
these old papers and other wills may
be found.

SEND CHILDREN TO SPARTA.
Pauline and Mary Lisowski to be
Wards of the State in the Future.

In the county court on Monday af-
.ternoon Judge Taylor issued an order
directing that Pauline Iisowski, aged
Is years and Mary LisowslSi, aged IL
years, be committed to the state school
for dependent children at Sparta. The
parents of the children are charged
with having neglected them. The As
ISOLATED Charities hos taken great IN
terest in the cniidren and it was
largely through the efforts OF the Of
fcials of this organization that the
children were made wards of the state
and sent to bhe school at Sparta.
Another child of the couple disap-
peared in Racine few days ago and
the police of Racine and Kenosha
were asked to search for her. 1t is
possible that the parents OF the child
rem will oppose the order of the county
Judge and appeal the case to the cir
cult court.

PROCLAMATION.
o the Kenosha Public:

The health department is fighting to
wipe out an epidemic Of scarlet fever
and diphtheria which is Tavaglng our
lefty. It is the duty OF every citizen
| to give support to the physicians and
| the health department instead OF re-
tarding their efforts. A great many
where diphtheria or scarlet fever ex-
lists insist that attending physician and
the health department. be lax with
them and permit them to go in and
Iout and terminate cases before they
are ready for fumigation.
] Scarlet fever cases which are still
in the peeling stages are violent and
able to spread the disease to healthy
individuals.
Diphtheria patients after the inJec-
1 ton Of anti-toxin although free from
active, symptoms can and do spread
the contagion unless a microscopic ex-
animation of the throat shows 1T TO
be free from the diphtheria germ.
/ Scarlet fever is contagious as long
as there is the least bit of peeling and
discharge from the ears OF glands OF
the neck.
4 The health department will not ter
inmate any case under any circum-
stances when it is found that any OF
these conditions exist.
Ali cases of diphtheria will be cui-
tured by the health department. and
lie the germ is present by microscopic
examination, the health department
will insist upon maximum doses OF
anti-toxin being immediately admins
tered, and when all symptoms have
/ disappeared and the microscope shows
the germ to be absent from the throat
Of the patient and Of all persons com
ling in contact with the case then and
only then will the case be terminated.
1t has been shown that the dlphshe-
ria germ will exist in the throat for
/ weeks after a child has recovered from
Idiphtheria unless direct application to
the throat of antiseptics is employed.
! Those having disease in their homes
4 should not seek to evade their re-
sponsibility.
The following rules must be obsefv-
ed in all instances and any violation
of them will result in prosecution:
/ i. All persons connected with a
lease under quarantine will not be per
mitted to enter or leave home at
ter the quarantine is established.
9. All persons living in the same
house whore scarlet fever or diphtheria
cases are under quarantine must be
immediately cultured and il found free
from germs must board elsewhere and
remain absolutely away from the prem
Uses until the case is terminated.
/ 8. All school children connected
With a. case of scarlet fever or
ldiphtheria must remain at home and
not mingle with any other children.
4. No washings from the infected
home will be permitted to be. taken
from the house.
| 5. All garbage must be burned.
/ 6. Milk men must leave milk on
back porch in vessels provided by the
family and not permitted to enter the
house
Z. Groceries must be left on back
lporch and verbal orders given either
by phone or at distance.
| s. When two families use ore
toilet in an apartment house the case
