WARRANT ISSUEDAT NASHVILLE.
Woman Whose Face is Strangely IA
miliar to Kenosha People is Charged
With kidnapping 5-Year-old Child
Fail to Get Trace Of Her in this City.

Acting on telegraphic instructions
from the chief of police at Nashville,
Tenn, the police of Kenosha are seek
ing to secure the arrest of Mrs. Mary
Hester, also known as Mrs. Mary Duff
fer, on charges of kidnapping. A war
rant for the arrest Of Mrs. Hester is
now in the hands of the chief of DO
lice at Nashville, and reward of $50
has been offered for her arrest. The
young woman, who was formerly res
ident of Kenosha, is charged with kid
mapping Nadine Duffer, little girl five
years of age, from her home in Nash
vile on the afternoon of April 18th.
1t is claimed in the message to the
Kenosha police department. that the
crime was one of the most daring ever
committed in the United States. The
Nashville police have been following
the trail of the woman and the child
and they declare that the woman is now
in Kenosha. Chief of Police O'Hare
and his men made search of the city
on Monday but were unable to get any
trace of the woman or of the child.
Pictures of Mrs. Hester sent to Ke-
nosha show her in the garb of train
ed nurse, but it is believed that when
she resided in Kenosha she worked as
waitress in restaurant here. The
picture of the woman has been shown
to all the restaurant and hotel keepers
in Kenosha and while several of these
men have declared that the face of the
woman is very familiar they have not
been able to identify her. The report
from Nashville declares that Mrs. Hes
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1913-04-24

ter is Kenosha WOMB, and that che
was known here either Us Mary Duffer
or under another name. Efforts to
trace the woman through the descrip-
tons received have been futile.
The Nashville police in their mes
sages to the Kenosha police department.
have not revealed the details of the
alleged kidnapping or have they made
known the name of the parents of the
little girl alleged to have been kid
mapped.
The search for Mrs. Hester is proving
a decidedly interesting one for the po-
lice. The woman shown in the picture
has been seen in Kenosha often but it
seems impossible to find anyone who
can give the name under which she was
known here or any statement in regard
to her present whereabouts. The police
will keep up the search and they are
hopeful of solving the riddle within the
next few days.

The first step in the long discussed
movement to clear the business district
of the city of all overhead wires and
prepare the way for putting all over
head wires in the city under ground,
will be taken at the next meeting of
the council when an ordinance drawn
by the city attorney requiring all
wires in the business district to be
buried within four years and provid-
ing further that conduits shall be put
in all streets before they are paved in
the future will be started on it's way
through the council. The local public
utilities have been prepared for the
passage of an ordinance along these
lines for some time and it is not be-
lieved that they will contest the de-
mand of the city to place the wires
under ground. 1t will cost the com
panies less to go ahead with this work
now than at some time in the future
and nothing is more certain than that
the burial of the dangerous and I'M
slightly overhead wires will be ordered
in all cities sooner or later. With four
years in which to do the work of in
stalling the underground conduits the
companies cannot complain that the
city has hurried the work unreason-
ably or that they have been put to
any unnecessary expense by being
compelled to contract for rush work.

The constitutional amendment reso-
luton permitting the state to embark
in all kinds of insurance business which
will eventually open the way for state
industrial and sick benefit insurance
slipped through this legislature with
out exciting any interest in the state
and almost without debate. The fight
on the resolution, if there is to be any,
will come in the next legislature, for
it must pass two Legislatures before
the constitutional amendment can be
submitted to the people. The big man
ufacturing interests of the state are not
opposing this extention Of protection
to workingmen and any practical plan
along the lines of the German system
of state insurance for working men
that can be worked out for this state
will be supported by them.

THIRD DEGREE WEDDING.
Albert N. Kaufman Asks Divorce From
Sadie O'Hare Kaufman.

Alleging that he had been eoerced
into going through the ceremonies of
marriage following third degree exam
ination at the police office, Albert n.
Kaufman has fled a suit in the circuit
court demanding the annulment of his
marriage to Miss Sadie O'Hare Kauf-
man. The marriage took place in Ke-
nosha, Nov. s, 1912. In his complaint
Kaufman alleges that he was threatened
with criminal prosecution if he re-
fused to marry the young woman and
that he was so put in fear that he con-
sented to go through the ceremony. He
declares in his complaint that he never
lived with the wife after the marriage
and that he has not in any way recog-
nized the tie as binding. The case
promises to be an interesting one when
it is taken up at the next term of the
court.

Those charges of combine among
the brick and material men to control
prices and contracts for city work in
Kenosha, made on the floor of the
council Monday evening, are serious
enough to call for a thorough investi-
cation. At the same time it must be
admitted that there was very little.
evidence presented to substantiate the
charges made and the council could not
act on any evidence of combine to
keep prices mp in this city so far
brought before it. 1t is the intention
OF the mayor and aldermen to get to
the bottom of the matter however, and
nothing will be left undone to bring
out all of the facts in connection with
the sale of brick and material in this
city. The attorneys and associates of
the contractor who alleges that he is
being Disseminated against have been
invited to figure out way to get the
evidence on which their charges were
based in shape so that it can be made
public and when that is done the coun-
ell and the public VIII be able to pass
Judgment on the facts as they appear.
The matter of paving Salem avenue is
unimportant as compared with direct
charges that the interests of the city
are suffering because of an illegal COM
bine, but the council took the only ac-
ton possible with regard to this lob
and it is believed that the efforts Of
the council to get this street paved at
the earliest possible moment will be
approved by the property owners in
terested and they certainly viii be by
the people of the ity generally. There
is nothing to be gained by continuing
the quibbling over this contract in
definitely and if the contractor who
had the low bid ON the work is unable
or unwilling to carry out the contract
under the specifications the city win
save time by making new start. The
present backing and filing is getting
nowhere.

Max Ladewig, Jr., Arrested OH Charges
of Abandoning Family March 18th.

Max Ladewig, Jr., widely known in
the town of Somers, was arrested late
Monday evening by members of the
police department on charges Of aban-
doning his wife and. minor children.
The warrant charging Ladewig with
abandonment was issued some time ago
but the police were unable to locate
the man until Monday night. Lade-
wig is alleged to have left Somers on.
March 18th and until yesterday he had
been living at Capron, I'll. When the
case was called for a. hearing this
morning in the municipal court it was
found that Mrs. Ladewig had removed
to Dane, Wis, and the court adjourn
ed the hearing until May End in order
to permit the officers to bring the wife
back to Kenosha. The bond for Lade-
wig was placed at $500 and being un-
able to furnish it he returned to jail
to await the hearing.

Former Alderman of Second
Ward Named Member of
Police and Fire Board.
LANCE AND RIPLEY APPOINTED

Joseph G.. Rhode, formerly alderman
of the second ward, was named as a
member of the police and fire commits.
sion to succeed Joseph Banaszynski by
Mayor Head on Monday afternoon
At the same time the mayor named
DR.. G. H. Ripley to succeed himself
as member of the board of health
and A. III. Lance to succeed himself
as a member of the park commission.
All of the appointments were made for
the full term of five years.
Organization Of the three commits
sions will take place early in May, but
| it is not thought that there will be
any changes in the officials Of the
commissions.
It had been forecasted that DR..
Ripley and Mr.. Lance would be re-
appointed for the new terms and the
only surprise in the mayors appoint
ments comes over the naming Of form
er Alderman Rhode as a member of
the fire and police commission. The
appointments were confirmed by the
members of the council by a unani-
nous vote at the meeting on Monday
evening.
The appointment of Joseph G.
Rhode promises to be decidedly pop
ular one with the people of the city
and with the members Of the two de-
partments. In the past two years the
former alderman has given notable
services to the city as a member of
the common council and few men who
have served on the council have won
such unanimous verdict of approval
from the people. Mr.. Rhode took the
same interest in the affairs of the city
when Mayor Head sought man for
commissioner the former alderman had
the hearty support Of every member
OF the present board for the appoint
ment. Commissioner Rhode is well ac-
quainted with the demands of both the
fire and police departments, as during
his two years of service on the coun-
Gil he has served as member of both
the fire and police committees. He
has announced his willingness to ac-
cept the appointment and will qualify
In time to meet with the commission
at the regular May meeting.
Commissioner Rhode is certain to
show as a member of the commission
the same energy which he showed as
member of the common council and
his work on the commission will I'M
doubtedly be of great value in bringing
the two departments up to high
standard. The mayor announced that
he had not as yet received the formal
resignation of Park Commissioner Ben
Eichelman, but that he had been adj.
vised that this resignation would be
sent to him within a few days and an
appointment to fill the vacancy will
be made at the next meeting of the
council.
