Foreigners in City Take Con
certed Action to Save
Suffrage Privilege
MANY TO ATTEND SCHOOLS
Leaders of Nationalities Take Census
of Various Foreign Colonies in Order
to Get Their Fellows in Line for Sec
ond Citizenship Papers Before April.

Foreign born residents of Kenosha
are to make united effort to prevent
a great loss Of suffrage among this
class of people as a result Of the work
ings of the new law against aliens vot-
ing which will go into effect on the
first day of December, and the leaders
of every nationality represented in Ke-
nosha have taken steps to form organi-
cations which will have for their pur-
pose the explanation of the new law
and the education of voters so that
they will be able to secure papers and
claim the rights of the ballot. Night
schools are to be opened and it is ex-
pected that the money to provide pay
for the instructors will be raised by
the various societies among the alien
residents so it will be made easy for
the foreigners to get themselves IN con-
dition to pass the examinations de-
manded by the government for second
papers. AS preliminary to the educa-
tionaI movement the leaders of the
various nationalities are making per-
sonal calls at every house in the city
occupied by foreigners with a view of
discovering just how many of these
people have been voting on first papers.
These people claim that there are
not nearly so many of these people as
has been expected and that the total
will not exceed $50 or 400. The agi-
tation in regard to the law has had
it Is effect in the foreign colonies and in
the past three or four years hundreds of
these people have taken out their sec
md papers and made certain the con-
tinuance of the suffrage privilege to
them.
There are, however hundreds of peo-
pie in the city and county who have
not been taken into consideration by
these people. These are people who
have lived in the county for many
years but who have failed to go through
the red tape of taking out full citizen
ship papers. There viii be just one
more hearing before the next city ell
ection for foreigners who desire to
vote and this will be held in February
In order to secure citizenship papers
before that time applications must be
filed at once. There is long list of
petitioners on the roll at the present
time and it is probable that several
days will be taken up at the opening
of the March term of the court hear
ing these petitions.
The foreign born citizens Of the
city are taking very lively interest
in the matter as they are fully aware
of the fact that in some wards their
vote has been controlling factor in
elections and they are anxious to pre-
vent this power slipping away from
them.

PENSIONS BY MAIL
Government Plans to Close
all Pension Agencies the
First of Year
MAGDEBURG TO STEP down

Capt. L. D. Magdeburg, United
States pension agent in Milwaukee,
and his colleagues in cities all over the
United States are now making their
final disbursements.
According to the terms II bill
signed on May IL by President Taft
the pension agents are Iegislated out
of Office and payments Of Ill pensions
will be made from Washington after
January 81, 1913.
J. L. Davenport, commissioner OF
pensions at Washington, will be in fill
charge at the capital. A dsbarsing
agent will be appointed by the presi-
dent. Employees Of the various pen
sion agencies throughout the country
will be given employment IA the pen
sion department at Washington if they
wish.
Hereafter all checks will be MALE |
Prom Washington and the old time
vouchers will be dispensed with. Pen.
sion agents predict that the change in
the manner of paying pensions VIII
necessitate larger general force in
Washington than at present because
of changes in the pension laws by the
act of May II which nearly doubles
the work.
This act also includes the COM
mencement of fractional parts Of a
dollar in fling applications and this
may seriously diseommode pensioners,
many of whom are old and will find
it difficult to get used to the new ar
rangement.
Postmasters viii not forward letters
containing pension checks. They will
be mailed from Washington after jan.
81, to the last address of the pen
sioner. If he has moved they will be
returned to Washington.

COUNTY GOES TO KAREL.
Recanvass of Ballots Here Shows He
Has Plurality Of u Votes.

Have you paid your bets yeta L
you haven't wait minute for cor
reeted returns of the vote cast in Ke-
nosha county shows that Judge John
G. Karel Of Milwaukee and not Govef-
nor Francis E MeGovern Of Madison
carried Kenosha county in the cent
unpleasantness. County Clerk Jones
received notice from Madison this
morning that the official check of the
count in Kenosha county showed that
the county had gone to Judge Karel.
The clerk was able to verify this fact
by the examination of the figures.
The error was made in copying the
figures and one hundred votes which
had been cast for Judge Karel had
failed to be counted. The face of the
returns showed a plurality Of % for
McGovern, but the correction gives
Karel plurality of = for the cornty.
Clerk Jones declares that there is no
doubt of this final figure and that the
vote of the county has been so tab
ulated in the returns at Madison. The
local election board is checking the
figures again and they have discover
ed the hundred vote error.

Vincent Award Company
Succeeds Windsor Spring
Go. by New Charter
WILL ENLARGE THE BUSINESS
Manufacturing Concerns in Kenosha De-
clare That Change of Administration
Has Shown no Reason for Alarm
Large Additions to Factory are Mads

The Windsor Spring Company, one
of the Oldest of the corporations in
Kenosha, officially passed odt of exis-
tenee on Tuesday when an amendments
to the articles of incorporation of the
company was fled with yhe secretary
of state at Madison, changing tha
name of the corporation to ''The
Vincent-Alward Company"
By action of the stockholders the
articles of incorporation are amended
so as to give the company ,h wider
powers in the manufacturing world
and it is expected that The company
under the new name will largely in
crease its business. The company was
founded by the late B. F. Windsor and
at the time the stock was sold to W.
w. Vincent and V. Lee Award it was
decided to retain the old firm name.
With the addition of new lines of
business and the extension of the bust
ness along old lines it was deemed
wise to make a change in the name
of the corporation.
Many changes have been made at
the Windsor plant since it passed into
@he ownership of the present manae-
ers. The plant is now being rapidly
enlarged to meet the growing demands
of the business Of the new company.
No let up of the business of this
company or any other of the big com.
panies has been caused by the recert
political upheavaI and manufacturers
in Kenosha declare that they are not
expecting any slump due to change of
administration. Nearly very one Of
the big plants in Kenosha is now
making provisions for extension of
their business during the coming year.
The Simmons Manufacturing Company
has been one of the first to show its
faith in the coming administration and
new departments are now being oper-
ed at this great plant which win
largely increase the output. Reports
received by the various companies
from all over the country indicate that
there is no reason FOR alarm as to
business conditions and It is not
thought that the conditions which
have brought great prosperity to the
city during the past two years will be
in any way disturbed.
The Jeffrey company is completing
arrangements for the building Of its
great Office building and this viii be
completed within the year. The Frost
company is now housed in its new plant
which is one of the most modern to be
found in the country. Manufacturers
are agreed that the coming year in
Kenosha will see a large increase in the
amount of business done by the big
industries of the city.

MAY FIND END or BIG MIDDLE
Assessment Committee Of the Board
Starts Work Figuring on the Assess
mer of the County-Dr. Darby Ur-
ges Board to Build Hospital.
(From Wednesday Daily j


The county board 5his afternoon
gave over its entire session to the dis
cussion of the all important subject Of
roads and the members had as their
guest Engineer j. R. Hirst of the Wis
lconsin State Highway Commission
Mr.. Hirst has taken an especial inter
est in the highways of Kenosha county
and has been active in all work done
in the county with state aid. lie
went at length into the conditions
with the county board members and
the decision was reached that it would
be necessary for the city Ind county
to start all over again if sffectual
permanent road work is to be done
The board has not as yet received the
final report of Commissioner Williams
and all efforts to secure a settlement
have been without avail. 1t is ex-
pected that following the conference
with Mr. Hirst this afternoon that Tia
board will take some drastic action in
order to get the present muddle
settled up.
The question Of the tuberculosis hos
pital bobbed up before the board at
the session on Tuesday afternoon when
DR.. IT, G. Darby Of Wilmot, one Of the
members Of the special committee ad
dressed the board and made strong
plea for the building Of the institu
tion. Dir. Darby urged that he board
consider the selection of site for the
hospital with great care aud declared
that in his opinion it would be unwise
to locate the building on the lake
shore. The report of the SPECIAL con-
mittee will probably be presented 70
the board on Thursday or Friday and it
! is probable that several days of the
session will be taken up with the dis
cussion of the measure.
The assessment committee of the
board got down to work today and it
is probable that report on the equal
ization of the assessment in the county
MI be completed before the end of
the present week. Some of tie Nom.
bers of the board are hopeful that
there will be some reduction in the
county tax this year. The income TAX
will be new problem for the county
but it is certain that quite little
money will be realized for tie county.
The total assessment of income taxes
from the county is little over
$4,000 and should this net 100000
after the deduction of the personal
property taxes in the city and in The
towns this would leave tho county,
$4,000 to be added to the county
funds. This would be half enough i
provide for the building of the propos.
| ed tuberculosis hospital In addition
to this the county has received laGae
returns from inheritance taxes since
the last meeting of The board and the
balance in the hands of the county
treasurer is considerably larger than
in former years. These items taken
into consideration should make the
levy of a heavy county tax this year
unnecessary.

WILL IGNORE LAKE POLLUTION.

The pollution Of Lake Michigan by

sion on boundary waters between the
United States and Canada. Both ma
tions requested that the matter be in.
CURED into with view Of protecting
the purity Of the water supply from

The commission, however, raised
doubts of its jurisdiction. It was
pointed out that Lake Michigan is nor
boundary water and could come with
in the purview of the investigation
only in case it should be shown that
impure Lake Michigan water is POI
luting Canadian waters in Lake

The probable outcome will be a mar
