FIND OLD CEMETERY PLAT.
Plat of City Cemetery Made in 1343
Found in Bunch of Old Papers.

Officials of the Kenosha City Gene
terry Association are having little
Qualification all their own today ON ac-
count of the fact that the original
plat of the cemetery made way back
in 1S43 has been found. The plat was
made by "A. r. Doolittle, then county
surveyor and it shows all the original
lines of the cemetery property. For
the past ten years efforts have been
made to find this plat and the offices
of registers of deeds in both Kenosha
and Racine counties had been search
ed. The old plat turned up among a
pile of discarded records unearthed by
Register of Deeds Torrey on Friday
afternoon. Nearly al of the papers il
the pile were more than fifty years of
age and 1T is probable that others will
be found to be of value.

Michael E. White, the genial
member Of the contracting firm the
Cleary, White, Newman Compsry
which had the contract for the building
of the trunk sewer, is not going to
be mixed in any court fight between
the company and the city of Kenosha'
Mr.. White, while in Kenosha, announc-
ed that he had retired from the con-
tracting company. He has sold his in
terests in the company to Cleary and
Duffy, two of the other members OF the
Arm and while his name will remain
in the company until the annual meet
ing of the corporation in April he IS
no longer actively connected with the
affairs of the company, Mr.. White
declared that he planned to give all OF
his time to the work of building
street pavements and that he was
through forever with sewer contract
ing. He declared that the Cleary,
Duffy Company would bring suit
against the city to collect the bill for
extras on the trunk sewer and that
the suit had been delayed ON account
of the fact that Peter Fisher, the at
torney for the company, had gone
south for short sojourn. He declar-
ed that the suit would be instituted
in the circuit court on the return OF
Mr.. Fisher. Mr.. White intimated thai
i'm disposing Of his interests in the
company he accepted payment for the
Kenosha job on the supposition that
the company would be able to collect
$4,000 from the city.
The retirement of Mr.. White from
the company is regretted by members
of the council who have taken an in
terest in, the attempted settlement of
the financial troubles between the
company and the city as Mr.. White
has been regarded as friendly to the
city in making the settlement and he
has repeatedly declared that he would
have settled on figures offered by the
city some time ago had the other
members of the company been willing
to accept the offer. 1t is understood
that Mr.. White will take no part in
the action brought by the contracting
company to collect the bill. Mr..
White had practically nothing to do
with the technical details of the sewer
and its construction.
AS head of the White Construction
Company Mr.. White will seek paving
work in the city during the coming
year and he expects that the people OF
the city will demand in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 yards of asphalt paw
ing during the season. 1t is said that
property owners ON both Pomeroy and
Congress streets are now ready to ask
for asphalt paving and that several
other smaller pieces viii be asked for.

Income Assessor Dalton to
Send Income Blanks With
in the Next Few Days.
FEW CHANGES IN FORM MADE

Joseph E. Dalton, assessor of in
comes for Kenosha county, is prepar-
ing his mailing list and in the near
future he will send to the hundreds
Of residents of the county blanks on
which to make their returns of income
for the year 1912. Two forms of
blanks win be sent out, one being a
tax return for individuals showing net
rent of real estate and gross incomes
in the operation of business, interest
on mortgages and for personal sew
ices, and the other a tax return for
wage earners, salaried men and other
individuals whose principal income is
derived from personal service. In
structions will also be mailed with
the blanks.
There is but one noticeable change
in the blanks now being sent out and
the ones used year ago. Last year
when a resident made his tax return
1t was necessary that the signature
was witnessed by notary public.
This year it will not be necessary to
make affidavit before a notary public
but the return must be signed in the
presence Of two witnesses not mem
bers of the taxpayer IS family
The law governing a tax of incomes
requires the taxpayer to send in the
return within a specified time and
should he fail to refuse to make the
return on shall render a false or
fradulent return shall upon conviction
be fined not to exceed $500, or be
imprisoned not to exceed one year, or
both, at the discretion of the court,
together with the costs of prosecution.

RARE TALENT HERE.
Singers of Unusual Ability in Concert
at-Swedish Lutheran Church.

Those who embraced the opportunity
to hear the concert given by Miss
Esther Pearson, assisted by Rev. w.
z. Pearson, in the Swedish Lutheran
Church last evening, were given a real
treat. \ large audience greeted the
artists and showed it's hearty appre-
citation for the rendition of the excel
lent program. Miss Pearson, gifted
with charmingly artistic soprano
voice of great dramatic quality, prov
ed herself one of the best singers who
has appeared this season in our city.
Her self possession, articulation, re-
tinement and finish together with her
pleasing personality, captivated those
who were fortunate to hear her. Rev.
Pearson rendered his numbers in a de-
ightful manner. His voice is a true
tenor which is pleasing to hear. Both
are pianists of talent, Rev. Pearson
supplying exceptionally proficient ac-
apartments.

Kenosha County Officials to
Attend the Annual Road
School at Madison.
TO BUILD some MODEL ROADS

/ The second annual road school Of
the Wisconsin Highway Commission
will be held in the public library,
Madison, February 1921 inclusive.
The men who will participate in the
program are practical road builders,
and have had the benefit of one years
experience in constructing highways
under the direction of the Wisconsin
Highway Commission. This fact will
| give the second annual road school
| special educational value, bringing to-
gether as it will the combined ex-
pe1ience and knowledge Of the men
who have built roads in every part
| of the state.
Arrangements have been made for
exhibitions Of moving pictures show
| ing the construction of concrete roads,
and discussion of this important
subject by FL. j. Kuelling, highway
commissioner of Milwaukee county,
where the bulk of this work was done
in 1912. There will also be an exhibi-
ton of moving pictures by brick manu-.
factHers showing the construction o.
brick pavements. Every phase of road
work, in every part of the state will
| be discussed.
The use of explosives in quarrying
and road construction will be given by
V. NJ. Weeks, of the Du Pont Powder
Company.
The discussion of such questions as
"Shall Road Work be Done by Con-
tract or Under the Day Labor Sys-
tenn "Labor Supply and Prices
Boarding Men and Teams" are g
few of the practical subjects to be
discussed, and attendance at the SEES
sions cannot fail to be instructive to
every man interested in the scientific
construction Of highways in Wisconsin.
There will be an exhibition of road
machinery and Of surveying instru-
ments by the various manufacturers,
SO that purchasing committees will
have an opportunity to meet the repre-
sentatives of these firms who will ex-
plain the merits of their machines,
rollers, graders, crushers and other ma
chinery used in road construction.
| The road school will be in session
four days, and bringing together as it
does all Of the staff of road and bridge
engineers of the Wisconsin Highway
| Commission, the county highway COM
missioners and committees on road
construction, 1T will afford the great
est opportunity for gathering informa-
tion and instruction, as well as getting
acquainted with all the forces at work
in building better roads under the new
state aid law in Wisconsin All per-
sons interested in the good read move
ment are cordially invited to attend.
County Highway Commissioner M.
G. Mcclellan and a number of the
members of the Kenosha County Board

Former Kenosha People In
terested in Chicago Store
Destroyed on Friday.
LOSS IS ABOUT 100000

Moeller and Co., a Chicago firm,
! operating a department store at 3014
to 1922 Lincoln avenue, Chicago, a
company in which many Kenosha peo-
pie and people formerly of Kenosha
are financially interested, suffered a
hundred thousand dollar fire loss on
Friday when bandits went into the
store and after binding and gagging
| the night Waterman, blew the safe Of
the store and secured booty to the
amount of $1,000 and then set fire to
the place. The night Waterman,
Michael Roeser, freed himself just in
time to escape death in the burning
building.
1t is said that four men, one of them
supposed to be a former employee of
the company, were connected with the
daring robbery. The men entered the
store at a little after midnight Fri
day morning. The four masked men
had managed to get into the building
with skeleton key and the first thing
the Waterman saw of them was when
they had him surrounded. They bound
and gagged him and then with great
deliberation proceeded to blow the
safe. In the safe they found the
$1,000 which they got away with. The
men are alleged to have deliberately
set fire to the place following the
robbery
Frederick w. Moeller, is the presi-
dent of the company and his wife was
formerly Margaret ZahneA of this city.
After the marriage of Miss Zahnen
and Mr.. Moel1er number Of the mem
bers of the Zahnen family became con
nected with the business in Chicago.
Members of the family in Kenosha re,
ceived telephone messages from Mr..
Moeller this morning stating that
while the loss would be 100000 or
over it was fully covered by insurance.

CONTINUE ALL GRADES.
School Board Members and superinten-
dent Find Solution for School Trouble.

NS~N~SS@ ~~SSsAOA CR@lNA
dent Find Solution for School Trouble.
Members of the board of education
and City Superintendent Mrs. Mary
D. Bradford have reached a solution
of the troubles at the Durkee school
and by next Monday morning there,
will be room for the accommodation
of all the children at the school. 1t
will not be necessary to close any of
the kindergarten rooms as plans have
been made for the building of a par
tition in one Of the larger rooms in
the building and another teacher will
be employed to have charge of the in
struction of the children in the l A
grade. 1t is thought that the new
plan will work out to the complete
satisfaction of all the patrons of the
schools. The new teacher is expected
to be ready to begin her work on next
Monday morning.

The drivers of every kind of vehicle
that uses the streets of the city will
favor having the children of the pub
lie schools given more OF the lectures
in avoiding accidents such as they
have been hearing from representa-
tive of the street railway company
during this week. The children were
warned to keep off railway tracks and
out of the way of all vehicles and
against using the streets as play
grounds and no one who has watched
the children on their journeys to and
from school can doubt that instruc-
ton along this line is needed 1t is
no uncommon thing to see groups of
children start to cross the streets
without paying the slightest attention
to approaching vehicles and the fact
that there have been few accidents is
due rather to the watchfulness of
drivers than to any care on the part
of the children for their own safety,
instruction along these practical lines
is fully as valuable as anything they
can learn from books.

DON IT PHASE SOCIALISTS.
Party to Have Ticket in Kenosha Just
the Same as in Other Years.

The new non-partisan law is not go.
tng to have any effect on the social
democrats of the city and the same
campaign that they have made in
other years will be made this year.

law makes no difference to us save in
the fact that we lose a party designa-
tion at the primaries. Our candidates
will not be selected until such a time
as the people are ready to accept the
social democratic teachings and when
that time comes the men who are Of
this faith wall have no trouble getting
on the ticket. Until such time comes
our men will be found on the ticket
whether they meet victory or defeat.
They will stand for the same princi-
Piles regardless of the outcome of the

LEARNS LOCATION OF KENO, WIS.
Postofice Clerk Finds il Is a Short
Term For Kenosha.

Can You tell, off-hand, where the
thriving city of Keno, Wis, is situat-
ed2 If you can perhaps it is because
you have a relative who IS employed
in the Chicago postofice. Clerks there
still are enjoying a quiet laugh over an
incident which led TO the enlighten-
ment of one of their eo-workers.
It so happened that Clerk Brown,
which, by the way, ism t his right name,
temporarily forgot the location of
Waukegan. He inquired of another
clerk. The inquiree Immediately came
back with this one:
why, Waukegan is on the same
postofice line as Keno.
''But who ever heard of Keno?'
1t appeared that there were several
clerks within hearing who never had
heard of Keno.
The postal guide was consulted, maps
were opened up and questions were
asked, all in vain
There appeared to be no such place,
at least it was not a matter of record.
After several minutes of inquiry and
search, the clerk who first had men
toned Keno explained
"You fellows all speak of Chicago as
"Chi, don t you?" he asked. swell.
don t you NUTS think the people of
Kenosha speak of their home city as
Keno? do. Chicago News.

ALLEN COMPANY is IN LIST
Protest of Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company Is Refused by Treasurer
and Taxes Assessed Against Bond
Holders Are Not Paid by Company.

Kenosha has people and corporations
against whom income tax was assessed
by the state who have left the way
open for court fight against the tax as
formal protests against the collection
of the tax have been filed with the
City Treasurer by the n. r. Allen s
Sons Company, Attorney Chester D.
Barnes, and William III. Schroeder. All
of the protesting tax payers paid the
tax as assessed but at the time demand
ed that the treasurer accept the formal
notice of protest and hold the same
pending the action of the common
council on it, 1t is probable that the
protests will be referred to the City
Attorney. The Allen Company is the
largest payer of income tax in the city
the total amount assessed as income
tax against the company being in ex-
cess of $4,000.
The protests on file fail to indicate
what further steps will be taken by the
property owners but it is probable that
"a court action will be instituted later
to secure the refunding of the amounts
paid. The bond holders of the Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric Company did not
settle with the Kenosha City Treasurer
for income taxes assessed against them
and no formal protest was filed with
the Treasurer. The attorneys for the
company on Friday paid the personal
taxes assessed against the company in
this city and the receipt was sufficient
ly large to wipe out not only the income
taxes assessed against the company as
a corporation, but also all the income
taxes assessed against the bond holders.
The attorney proffered this receipt in
payment Of the income taxes of the cor
poration and the bond holders and re-
ceipt was issued for the income tax
against the corporation, but Treasurer
Steinmetz refused to accept the tax
paid as personal property tax by the
corporation in satisfaction of the in
come tax which had been assessed
against the bond holders. He even re-
fused to sign a statement showing that
the amount had been offered to him.
Under the law the two per cent must
be added to this tax today.
One formal protest was made against
the payment of the regular city taxes
this being signed by Mary E. Wulff
1t is understood that the protest is
based on the assessment.
The City Treasurer was completely
buried within an avalanche Of checks
on Friday afternoon and more than
half of the total taxes assessed for the
year is represented by these checks. Tt
is thought that it will take full week
to get the receipts issued to these tax
payers. This morning the two per cent
was added to all taxes not paid by
midnight last night. Under the law
this penalty must be added.

WINTHROP LOSES IT'S CHANCE.
Reported Capture of Bandit Webb at
State Line Village Proves to be False.

Winthrop Harbor, the little village
at the state line, south of Kenosha,
came pretty near getting ON the map
Friday night when it was reported
from there that Robert Webb, the nj.
legged leader of the bandit gang in
Chicago, had been taken at the vii
lage. A tramp, who had slept in the
Kenosha jail on Thursday night, was
rounded up by the Winthrop Harbor
city marshal and when the marshal
started to put the man on the train to
take him to Waukegan he said: "Well
/ may as well admit that [ am Webb
and have it over with The report
that Webb had been captured went
broadcast from Winthrop Harbor in
short order, but when the man was in
vestigated at the Jail in Waukegan it
was found that he did not in any way
tally with the description of the much
sought bandit. In Kenosha the man
gave his name as Robert Rasmussen
and he declared that he hal been
working with a band of men on the
ice fields.
