HITS AT NTERURBAN SERVICE.
Taxpayer Shows Difference Between
Service in Kenosha and Racine.

Kenosha, Wis, Sept. %, 1912.
The Editor,
Kenosha Evening News:
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir.
In Fridays, issue of your paper
there appeared statement by General
Manager stearns of the Milwaukee,
Racine and Kenosha Electric Railway
Company regarding what he terms
frequent stops made by the inter
urban cars of the railway company in
Racine. Permit ME to say that these
frequent stops" are made at every
street corner along the right of way
of said company. Furthermore, the IN
teFurban cars take on and discharge
local passengers in Racine. Anybody
can board an interurban car at one
street crossing, pay his nickel, ask for
transfer to local car and be per-
mitted to leave the car after riding
one or more city blocks. Why can not
Kenosha have the same privilege?
Why not eliminate about FIVE or six
or possibly ten stops in Racine and
make them in Kenosha Certainly
Kenosha patrons of the railway COM
pany are entitled to a little $considera,
tion along this line. A thought came
to the writer a few weeks ago when
he noticed an interurban car trailing a
Milwaukee avenue care northbound.
This car was obliged to stop whenever
the local car made stops. In view Of
this fact can anybody advance sound
argument against g frequent stops on
Milwaukee avenue?
Now quit your 1kidding" Mr.
stearns and give US few stops on
Milwaukee avenue.

COUSINS WED IN KENosHA.

Kenosha is a favorite place for the
marriage of cousins and this fact was
shown OF Wednesday. afternoon when
two marriages in which the bride and
groom were related were performed in
the city. John FL. Bickel said to be
one of the wealthiest farmers of Cen
trail Indiana, came here from Roam
with his cousin, Miss Emma J. Bickel
and they were married at the office Of
the municipal court, the ceremony be-
ing performed by Judge Randall.
While this ceremony was being per-
formed by Judge Randall in the county
court just across the, street Judge Tay-
lor was officiating at the marriage of
Charles and Alice Dyer of Liberty
vile, I'll. Under the laws of Indiana
and Illinois cousins may not enter into
the marriage contract and this legal
impediment caused both of the couples
to come to Wisconsin.

FIGHT BY INJUNCTION
Effort Will be Made to Pre-
vent Use of Voting Ma
chimes at Election.
SPLIT BALLOT IS IN QUESTION

Kenosha voters may return to the
old plan of using paper ballots in the
coming national election as plans have
been formed by the democratic state
central committee to test the question
of the use of the machines. 1t is held
by these people that the use of the
machines will work a hardship in that
they fail to offer proper chance to
split the ballot. The attorney general
Of the state has held in favor of the
machines, but the Karel men claim
that the holding Of the attorney is
faulty and that il will not be upheld
by the supreme court of the state and
to this end it has been decided to start
an action for injunction in Milwau-
kee county with view of getting
decision which will be effective in all
cities of the state where the machines
are in use. The new Wisconsin law
making a division of the presidential
and state ballot a necessity has brought
all the trouble. 1t is claimed that with
the use Of the voting machine the vot-
ers will be forced to pull only a single
lever to vote both tickets. The Karel
men claim that many men in Milwau-
kee and in other cities desire to have
the ballots split up.
County Clerk Jones and City Clerk
Harrington have appealed to the Empire
Voting Machine Company TO solve
the difficulty and letters from the com
pany declare that this trouble can be
solved so far as the machines in Keno
sha are concerned by the placing of che
presidential ticket on one lever and
the state, legislative and county tie
kets on another lever. However, if an
injunction is secured and is held per-
manent by the supreme court it will
be necessary for the city of Kenosha
TO abide by the ruling of the court
just as other cities in the state.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Julia e. White Died at the Home
of Her Daughter This Morning.

Mrs. Julia E. White, aged SO years,
widow of the late Joseph White and
pioneer settler in the town of Bris-
tol, was found dead in bed at the home
of her daughter at SGT Collins street
this morning. Mrs. White had been
in feeble health for some time, but
there was no reason to expect that
death was near when she retired on
Sunday morning. She made no call for
help during the night and when the
daughter went to call her for break
fast she found her dead in bed. Coro-
ner Stanton was called and gave
death certificate declaring death to
have resulted from natural causes.
Mrs. White was a native of Ohio, but
she resided in the village Of Bristol for
many years. The remains will be tax
Ell back in the old home at Bristol and
announcement of the time of the

MAY BE KENosHA MAN.
Body Of Unknown Man Found Along
Lake Near Winthrop Harbor.

Kenosha police officials have been
asked to aid in the discovery of the
identity Of man whose body vas
found in the sand hills along the lake
just south of Winthrop Harbor on Sun
day afternoon. It is thought possible
that the man may have been former
resident Of Kenosha. The body was
that of man fifty years of age and it
was found by hunters who were walk
ing along the lake. The man had evil
IDENTIFY been dead for some time as the
remains were badly decomposed. They
were taken to Winthrop Harbor Sun
day afternoon and later removed to q
morgue in Waukegan where an inquest
is being held this afternoon. People
at Winthrop Harbor claimed that the
man had never been seen in that vii
lage. The man had been well dressed
and appeared to be professional man.
In the pockets of his coat were found
two bank books one of which had been
issued in the name of "J. G. Fox" by
the First National Bank at Aurora,
Kas., and the other had been issued by
bank at Bureau Junction, Ill. :. There
were no signs Of violence on the body
and it had the appearance of man
who had died from heart disease. It
is, however, possible that the man
committed suicide by taking poison
and the WaQkegan coroner will prob
ably have an autopsy made to deter
mine the cause of the man. death.
There is no report of any one being
missing from Kenosha in the hands Of
the police, but it is possible that the
man may have been temporary resi-
dent of this city.

COURT TO INVESTIGATE CHARGE

Termination of the several years old
receivership of the Chicago and Mil

in Chicago Friday, when objections
were fled before Judge Lands to the
confirmation of the sale Of the Illinois
section of the road. 1t was announced
that similar objections would be filed

WAS IN Line FOR PROMOTION
Had Made an Envisble Record While
in the Navy and Was to Have Been
Advanced to Rank of Captain in
Short Time.

Christian M. Hansen, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. E. Hansen, 176 Newell street.
and one of the few Kenosha boys WHO
have gained distinction in the United
States navy, died at Hong Kong,
China, Saturday, after short illness
from pneumonia. kilograms from the
war department announcing the death
of the young man We're received by his
parents on Saturday evening and ar.
rangements are now being made to
have the body brought to Kenosha fol-
burial. The matter has been taken
up by the department at Washington
and assurance has been given the rela-
tives in this city that the remains will
be returned to Kenosha at the earliest
possible time.
The death Of Hansen came after q
few days illness and it cut short a
very promising career in the navy
Young Hansen would have beer
twenty-five years of age in February
and he had enlisted in the navy at Mil
waukee three years ago, Nov. 9Th. His
advancement had been rapid and when
he died he was one of the petty Of
ficers on the Wilmington and had been
requested to take examina tons which
would lead to the rank of captain if
successfully passed. Hansen had talk
en- a great interest in the navy and
from the time he entered as an appren
tice he had been given rapid advance
ment. He had been on the Whining
ton during his entire career as sea
man and it was at the request of his
superior officers that he had been re-
tanned on the boat.
Of the three years that he had been
in the navy two and half years had
been spent in foreign service, Ee
sailed on the Wilmington from New
York in 1910 and in the two years he
had visited many of the great cities
in the Orient. He had been entitled
to two furloughs in the time, but he
had declined to accept them, declaring
that he preferred to continue his work
in the navy in order to secure more
rapid advancement. He was stricke1
with pneumonia in Honk Kong week
ago and died at the hospital connected
with the American consulate in Hong
Kong.
Young Hansen was native of Dan
mark, but he came to this city with
his parents when mere lad. He was
al athlete of note in the city and was
prominent as a runner and as a base
bal player. He had been member OF
several of the leading amateur base
ball teams of the city during the yeas
just previous to his enlistment in tho
navy. Hansen was very popular
among the young men Of the city anG
his advancement in the navy had beer
matter Of sincere pleasure to many
people in the city.
Announcement of the time of the
funeral will be made just as soon as
the war department completes the ar
rangements for the return of the body
to Kenosba.

QUESTIONS AS TO REPAYIilG
Property Owners Insist That Work
Should be Done at Expense of the
Public While Members of the Coun-
Gil Claim That Property Owners Pay


The members of the street assess
ment committee of the common council
are being urged to perpare for the
cuncil an ordinance which will provide
stand and specifications for street paw
ing in the city and it is being urged
that previous to the drawing of such an
ordinance a commission of interested
citizens be named to study the various
sorts of pavement and make report
to the committee as to the relative
value and durability of all paving ma
terials.
The question Of maintenance of pave
ment is a hard sproblem for the COM
mon council. In The near future it
will be necessary to repave number Of
the streets of the city and the proper
ty owners are demanding that this
work be done at the cost Of the city
at large. Property owners on streets
where permanent pavements have been
laid are protesting against this work
being done by the city, they claiming
that at the time these pavements were
put in the property owners secured
them at a very low cost and for this
reason the property owners themselves
should pay the bulk of the cost of the
All of the macadam streets
in the city are nearly worn out and
the council is now facing the problem
of resurfacing these streets.
Many of the property owners on the
streets would be glad to have the
streets resurfaced even if the cost was
paid entirely by the property owners,
but there are some people who protest
that the first cost of these pavements
is all that should be paid by the prop
erty owners. The same question has
arisen in regard to the repaving of
Main street. The street when original
ly built was regarded as a permanent
pavement but since that time new
methods have been found and if the
street is repaved it will be repaved
with concrete foundation. The cost
Of this pavement should in part be met
by the property owners as the cost will
be considerably more than the original
cost of paving the street.
What will be sought in the new or
dinance is full understanding of Just
what shall be paid by the city and what
by the property owners in case of re-
paving. Larger cities have solved this
oblem by assessing part of the cost
to the property owners. It is held in
these cities that the repaving is a per-
manent improvement and that the city
in providing repairs during the life of
a pavement has done all that is de-
manded from the public at large. In
Chicago and Milwaukee the life of q
permanent paving is placed at 20
years and the city is supposed to keep
the pavement in repairs for that length
Of time.
Tt is probable that it would be pos
sible to make the life Of pavements
in Kenosha considerably longer than
this. The committee is favorable to
such an ordinance and it is probable
that it will be presented to the coun-
Gil before the end of the present year.
