NEGLECT DUTIES FOR POSITION.
Less Politics of fractional Nature would
Result in Much Better work on Part
Of the State Governing Body Re
tailers May Garry Own Insurance.

Fewer politicians in the state legisla-
ture and more men who will work for
the best interests of the people of the
state is the advice which Charles Pfen-
mig, assemblyman from Kenosha, gave
to the delegates to the convention Of
the Wisconsin Retail Grocers and Gen
eral Merchants Association in Racine
in an address on Tuesday. Mr. Pfen-
mig declared that the last legislature
of Wisconsin had many members who
were politicians and were at all times
working for higher political honors and
neglecting the interests Of the people
Of the state Of Wisconsin. He said
that when the legislature convened last
January, it was the greatest political
onglomeTation or salad that ever gath
cred in the capital of any state. There
were many kinds of Democrats; many
Simon Pure Social Democrats and the
fifty different kinds of Repub-
Hcans. Mr.. Pfennig said that the sue
cess or failure of the legislature was
due to the mixup in the dominant par
ty. He admitted that many mistakes
had been made Wy the legislature, and
that Legislators had presented bills for
their own personal interest and not for
the interests of tha n11hlic
He discussed at length the difficulties
which had been met by merchants in
seeking legislation for their own pro
lection and declared that the members
Of the legislature seemed to be of the
opinion that these laws were against the
rights Of the people.
The convention will appoint com
mittee to investigate the matter of
organizing mutual insurance COM
pany to protect them in case of acct
dents Of employees in which injuries
are sustained. The committee will
report at the next convention. I'm
der the workers compensation act
merchants are compelled to insure
against accident with reputable in
surance company, and if they do not
insure they are compelled to give
statements to the state commission to
show that they are financially able to
take care Of employees in case Of acct
dent
It was claimed at the convention
Tuesday that if the state association
of merchants organized an insurance
company, insurance could be written
at one-half the rate charged by the
regular companies and that at the end
of each year large amount Of money
would be in the treasury Of the mutual
company. It was claimed that the
state might organize snch an insurance
company.

Gas and Electric Service for All Cities.

The state railroad commission on
Tuesday issued an order establishing
new standards for gas and electric
service as required under the public
utilities law. The order is the result

ice in order to define somewhat differ
emily the practices of the utilities in
maintaining standards now required

WANT REBATE.
Owners of Property on Market Square

Owners Of property on the south side

the members of the council TO secure

the building OF the tracks of the Ke-

they are ready to pay the rebates jpSt
as soon as the city council decides to
whom they shall be paid. The amount
at issue is not large one. The fact
that the city owns the park in the

trouble in deciding to just whom the
rebates should be paid. The council
will probably direct that the money be

understanding rha the ownership Of

HIDES SECRET OF IDENTITY
Man Knowing He Was About to Dis
Refuses to Make Any Statement as to
His Name or His Address, But Name
Is Discovered on Union Gard Later.

A man supposed to be o. q. Call,
probably 25 years of ages and residence
unknown, died at the Kenosha hospital
just after seven o'clock this morning
as a result of injuries received at the
Chicago & North Western Railway sta
ton just after four O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon when he fell from train
after he had madesan effort to-climb on
a blind baggage car. He was thrown
with great violence but he hung on to-
the railing of the ca1 until his strength
gave out and as he fell it is supposed
that he was struck in the head by an
oil box on one of the wheels, His
skull was fractured.
He was removed to the Kenosha hos
pital in an ambulance and DR.. Fl. A.
Robinson called to attend him. An ex-
animation showed a great hole in the
man IS skull from which the brain mat
ter was oozing and from the first ex-
animation the physicians were con-
WINGED that the man couldlnot recover.
Call was conscious for many hours
after he was removed to The hospital
but all efforts to get anything from
him in regard to his name, his resi-
dence or his family were futile. He
made 1lippant responses to the physi-
clans and nurses when they asked in
regard to him and seemed to be de-
termined to keep from them anything in
regard to his identity. After he was
dead a search was made of his clothing
and union card issued in May of this
year was found. This card bore the
name GO. Il. Call" but it failed to
bear the name of the city in Which the
card had been issued.
Cali was evidently under the ipfu- +
encel of liquor and when he was advised
by the physicians hat it was probable
that he would never recover his only
answer was, just give me one more
drink" He called for liquor repeated 7
ly in his last conscious hours and when
asked to say anything in regard to his
people he laughed Historically and re-
fused to give any information
The young man had been seen about
the corner of Middle street and the
North Western Railway tracks late or
Tuesday afternoon by Agent Kiltz. He,
made an effort to get on the local train
which pulled out just after the 4:42
express train and the first that the train
men knew of the accident was when
Ca1l was seen dangling along the side
Of the blind baggage car. AS soon as
possible the train was stopped but be-
fore it was stopped the man had been
thrown and had suffered the fracture
of his skull
The remains were removed to the
Hansen morgue this morning and Cor
oner Millager viii make an investiga-
tion into the case. It is thought posi-
bic that the friends of the man can
be located through the union card in
his pocket. A photograph found in the
pockets indicated that the man had
worked either as butcher or a baker
and this picture may aid in locating his
friends.
