ELIZABETH STREET
Originated in the Back Room Of the
Tailor Shop Owned by Clyde
Burks.

This morning at 2:45 fire was
discovered in small building on
Elizabeth street, between 12jh and
18th. The room is near the middle
Of several one story rooms on the
southwest side. Most Of the goods
in that and adjacent buildings wcrt
removed. The timely arrival Of the
hose wagon prevented the flames
from spreading. The amount of the
loss was not known as the Herald

be located in the back room Of he
tailor shop owned by Clyde Bnrks
but how it originated Il not easy to
ascertain.

IF ELECTION GOES
TO THE HOUSE
INTERESTING Problem Arises in Event
Electoral College Should Not
Choose President.

Washington, d. c., Aug. An
absorbing question % those who
seek out curious possibilities in pol
itics and election results is what
would happen in the event no can
didate for president should receive
majority of the votes in he cleo
toral college, and the election
should, under the constitution, be
imposed upon the house of repre-
senatives, in which the states in
such emergencies vote severally as
units.
The two great political parties
being a tie in the unit control of the
states, with the representatives ad-
herring to party lines, would be i'm
possible, unless by reason Of death
or resignation there should result
such a change of the unit com
pleXion as TO permit an election. Of
course, it is an extremely remote
probability, but still 1.-The very exist
ence of the possibility exposes de-
feet in our grand scheme Of repu6-
lican government.

BY MRS. GRACE
ACCUSED W0MAN'S VERSION OF
THE SHOOTING
Says Her Husband Had Drawn Re-
volver on Her-While Trying to
Defend Herself Pistol Went Off in
His Hands.
Associated Pres.

Allan a, Ca, Aug. Mrs. Daisy
Opie Grace, handsome and wealthy
declared on the witness stand here
today that she did not shoot her hus-
band at their home in a fashionable
suburb Of this city several weeks
ago, for which she was arres. ed and
Is now on trial.
The incident thrilled Atlanta in
all stratas of society and keen in
terest is evidenced in the case.
The tale she told indicates hat
the couple had not been on good
terms. APPARENTLY over money mat
ters, Mrs. Grace having the bulk Of
the family fortune which she re-
ceived in the settlement Of the es-
tate Of her first husband in Penn
sylvania.
He sprang out of bed and grab
bed me by the wrist, she declared
today. We struggled and he
grabbed me by the throat and
reached in the bureau drawer for
a revolver. Then he made a mo- ion
as if to hit me with his pistol and
then he tried to shoot me- | threw
all my weight against him, grabbed
him around his arms backing him
over the bed. Soon his legs came in
contact wi the bed, and he fell
over backwards with me on top of
him.
II was pushing and showing to
keep him from shooting me when the
pistol went off, and | screamed and
jumped up.
''He told me to stop screaming,
that he was not hurt and the thing
for me to do was to get out OF the
house and leave the rest to him.
"He made me kiss the bible that
would never tell what had hap
pened as it would disgrace us for
ever.
Gentleman, | did not shoot Mr..
Grace, and he knows it, as God is
my Judge that this is solemn truth.
The recital was delivered without
pause and in an even tone of voice to
the jury before which the arguments
in the case will probably be finished
tomorrow.
Grace has a bullet in his spine
and Is paralyzed from the waist

ASSOcldLeu PreSS,
Washington, d. c., Aug. THAT
serious and perhaps critical con-
flict between the Mexican govern
ment and the rebels in Sonora,
which has been expected for some
time, may occur soon, is the tenor Of
the report to reach Washington from
the Mexican border today
The rebel forces at Casas Grandes
are much more formidable than were
supposed, numbering 1900 men and
six pieces of artillery under Salazar.
Their resources have been greatly
augmented by ammunition and sup
plies seized from Mormon colonists
The rebel Generals Rojas and
Campo have mysteriously disappear
ed in the Sierra Madre mountains
southwest of MADEIRA.
1t is not known whether they have
permanently separated from Orozco's
command just at this time when
Salazar, Orozco's chief lieutenant,
must bear the brunt of the attack by
the government army, or whether
they are, engaged in an important
strategetic movement
The state department is receiving
many appeals from persons and cor
porations in Mexico for protection,
but the department officials feel shat
everything has been done short of
actual Intervention.

MET SERIOUS INJURY.
Fred Seymour Run Down BY Motor
cycle on Elizabeth Street Tuesday.

Fred Seymour, bookkeeper for the
Balm Wagon company, met with a
very serious injury at the corner Of
Elizabeth and Congress streets just
after 6 clock Tuesday evening, when
den by R. N. Locke, who resides near
the scene of the accident. Seymour
had been passenger on the street car
and when he reached the corner a few
yards from his home, he left the car.
As he stepped off the car he was struck
by the motorcycle and thrown to the
pavement. It is not known whether or
not the motorcycle passed over him.
He was carried to his home and physi-
clans called to attend him. It was
found that his right collar bone was
broken and he had suffered severe
bruises all over the body. Fred Palm
green, deputy sheriff who was on the
car and saw the accident, arrested
Locke and took him to the county jail.
He was booked on charges of reckless
use of the motor cycle, but was later
released on a reeognizance bond. At
the Seymour home today it was stated
that the injured man was resting as
easily as could be expected, but he will
be laid up for many days as result Of
the accident.

Contractors for Trunk Sew
er Putting Final Touches
on Contract Today.
ALDERMEN TO VIEW INTERIOR

The trunk sewer is nearing compile
ton, and it was announced by the city
engineer this morning that he expected
the work to be fully completed by next
Saturday night The back filing was
completed on Tuesday evening and the
contractors are now busy cleaning out
the sewer in order to have it ready for
final acceptance by the council. The
cleaning out job promises to be a big
one, as it is declared that at some
places there is from four inches to a
foot of sand in the sewer. This was
due to the fact that the sand was car
ried into the sewer before its compile
tion and not to the action OF the lake
in washing the sand into the outlet. In
addition to the sand the men engaged
in cleaning out the big tube are finding
bags Of cement, pieces Of rock and con-
crete The tunnel portion Of the sewer
has all been cleaned out and It IS de-
clared to be in excellent condition.
It is thought that the contractors
will appear before the council at the
next regular meeting and seek settle
ment. Before the fDal settlement, the
city engineer is anxious to have all
the members Of the council make a trip
through the sewer This could be made
any time now as the work OF cleaning
has gone far enough to make 1t pos
sible to take boat all the way
through the sewer from the West term
inal to the lake. Engineer Baltzer mas
arranged to provide the aldermen with
hip boots, and it is his idea to nave
them wade through the water ana MAKE
an examination Of the interior. In
usual circumstances there Is ABOUT
foot and half to two feet OF water II

ANNUAL PICNIC Fcn POOR.
More Than THEE Hundred Are Guests
of Sisters of st. Mary Tuesday.

The sisters of st. Mary at Kemper
Hall gave their annual picnic for the
poor OF Chicago on Tuesday and more
than 800 Chicago people, many of them
connected with the institutions under
the management of the order in Chi
cago, came to Kenosha to spend the
day. A big basket dinner was given
in honor Of the visitors at noon and a
luncheon was served just before they
returned to Chicago in the evening.
The day proved a very merry one, not
only for the visitors, but for the scores
of Kenosha people who aided in proyid-
ing the entertainment. There was the
usual number of the cold timers in
the company on Tuesday, and many of
them had been coming to Kenosha for
these picnics for the last ten years.
This fact made the gathering in the
nature of big family reuni On.

TO NAME BOARD SOON.
State Tax Commission Expected to
Name Board of Review Soon.

Residents Of Kenosha county, espec-
tally those who filed their income tax
reports with Assessor of Incomes j. E.
Dalton, are awaiting the appointment
by the state tax commission, of the
members of the board of review, who
will hear complaints of the taxpayers
on the amounts to be assessed against
them, under the income tax law. The
board of review is to meet the last
week Of the present month, and after
taken action on all matters brought up,
will make a report to the state tax
commission. The county clerk acts as
a member Of the board Of review, dur
ing the annual sessions, which occupy
four or five days.
Since the appointment of the in
come tax assessor, early last spring,
and the knowledge that board of re-
view would be appointed in each dis
trict, where there is an income tax
assessor, there have been several can
didates for appointment as members
OF the board Of review and applications
have been filed by them, with the
state tax commission, but that body
has not taken any action on the ap-
pointment of members of the board Of
review for Kenosha county, or for any
other county of the state, SO far as is
known. The law governing the income
tax permits the payment to members of
the board Of review, Of an amount not
to exceed SO per day. It is understood
that the state tax commission had de-
cided that salary Of SIS day should
be allowed to the members of boards
Of review for their services, and which
it is estimated, will not occupy over
six days.

George Naylor, formerly well known
barber in Kenosha, but now living in
Rockford, Ill. In her complaint, Mrs.

port. The defendant did not appear in
person, nor was he represented by an
attorney. Mrs. Naylor asked for no
alimony.

Kenosha ten years ago and they were
formerly well known here. For the
past three years the defendant has re-
sided at Rockford, while Mrs. Naylor
remained in Kenosha.

Local Democrats Planning
for Organization of the
First Wilson Club.
START STATE FIGHT HERE
Wilson Papers Were First Circulated
in Kenosha and Many Local Leaders
Of the Party Were Among the First
Signers of Them.

The nomination of Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey, as the Democratic can
didate for president, seems to be ca
tirely satisfactory to the Democracy of
Eenosha county, and already steps are
being taken among the leaders of the
party(to organize a Wilson club. Keno
sha was one of the first counties in
Wisconsin to support the candidacy of
Governor Wilson, and all of the real
leaders of the old time Democrats in
the state have been favorable to his
nomination. Assemblyman Scholey
had signed the petition for both Clark
and Wilson delegates, so it is certain
that the result of the national conven-
ton will be deeply gratifying to the
assemblyman. County Chairman John
G. Slater was not outspoken in his
choice of candidates, but it is certain
that he is in complete accord with the
nominee of the convention. Calvin
Stewart returned from Baltimore with
"houn dawg' button on his coat
but he was ready to concede the fact
that Wilson would make very strong
candidate.
The nomination of Wilson with the
assurance that he will have the sup
port of Bryan, has given an impetus to
the desire Of local Democrats to get on
the ticket, as they. seem to feel that the
nomination of Wilson will bring lot
of progressive votes to the Democratic
standard and they are hopeful that the
popularity OF Wilson among the Wis
consin progressives will aid materially
in getting votes for the whole demo
cratic ticket
1t is expected that the formal move
men for the organization of Wilson
club which will have representatives
from all parts of the county will be
taken up at the county convention to
be held on saturday afternoon. one
thing is certain and that is that the
big fight at the convention has left no
soreness among the Kenosha Demo
Gratis and all of them will be ready to
line up behind the candidate of the
party.
Governor Wilson spent few min
utes in Kenosha during the early part
of the campaign, but he made no ad-
dress in this city. 1t is understood he
will. at once begin speech-making
tour of the country and as he will make
many speeches in Wisconsin, it is ex-
pected that one Of them will be at Ke-
nosha.
