FIXES POPULATION STANDARD
New State Law Demands That City
Wards Shall Have Population of Not
less than 1000 People and that Wards
be Made as Near Equal as Possible.

Officials of the city who have been
interested in securing a new district
ing OF the city to provide for the d.
visions Of the wards will be greatly
interested in the new state law which
became a law today by publication
and which provides new methods for
the creation or changing of ward lines
in cities in the state. Under the new
law the provision is made that all
ward lines shall be established by or
dinances and that these ordinances
may be passed only by two thirds
vote Of the common council. It pro-
vldes that any change in ward lines
must be inaugurated in the month of
May and that the proposed change
In lines will become effective at the
time of the holding of the next city
election. The law provides that
changes in ward lines may be made
only once in two years except by the
outlining of new wards out of terri
tory which may be added TO cities by
annexation.
The law says: "Wards shall be in
as compact form and contain as nearly
equal population as practicable, which
shall not be less than eight thousand
nor more than twenty thousand in cit
les of the first class, nor less than fiji
teen hundred in the cities Of the Sec
ond class nor less than one thousand
in cities of the third class nor less than
500 in cities of the fourth class. When
ever the boundaries of wards are al
tered, or new wards created, every
ward or precinct officer residing with
In the territory Of new or altered
ward shall hold the same respective
office therein for the remainder of his
term, and all other vacancies shall be
filled as provided by law for filing
such vacancies
Nearly all Of the wards now in the
city have the population required by
the state law but there are several Of
the wards that have more than double
the population. Plans were being laid
to have the question of redistricting
the city submitted to the council at
an early date but under the new state
law this will be impossible and the
promoters of the proposed changes
will have to wait until May of next
year before making any effort to
change ward lines and changes cannot
become effective until the city election
to be held in 1914. It is probable
that some effort will be made among
the people of the larger wards to petit
tion the council for changes in ward
lines as these people claim that at
the present time they are not receiv-
ing the representation due to them
on the various boards of the city.

BANQUET "sPY'' STAFF.

The work of the high school stu
dents who have edited 'The Spy, !"
for the past year, was brought to a
close last night when the staff was
banqueted at the M E. Church. The
lower parlors of the church were taste
fully decorated in pink and white
streamers and pink roses. The ban
quet, four course affair, was served
by the Methodist ladies. After the
banquet Mr.. Tremper was introduced
as POSTMASTER and toasts were re-
sponded to by Mrs. Bradford, Mr..
Langmas and by the various members
of the staff When "The Spy" was
first started two years ago, many peo-
pie who had been associated with the
old "Pike" made the prophesy that
The Spy" would prove financial
failure. Under the able management
of Mr.. Langmas the first two years
have been finished with favorable
cash balance. From literary point
of view The Spy" has been decid-
cd success. Many compliments have
beoa received from other schools on
the literary department. AS the cul-
mination Of che years work, each
June commencement number or
annual is published. Up to the pres
ent time these numbers have been a
decided success.
"The Sny," will be continued next
1all under the editorship of Earl
Schmitz and it is expected that it
will retain its reputation as one of
the best school papers in the state

DURKEE CASE GOES OVER.
Stipulation Filed to Continue Case I'm
til the September Term of Court.

The long expected fight over the es-
tate of former Senator Charles Durkee

stipulation has been filed by attorneys
in the case providing that the appeal
from the county court in the famous
Duraee Millions case shall not be
heard until the September term.
Judge Belden did not come TO Keno
sha this morning for the opening Of the

nosha until Tuesday. Cases laid over

With the filing of three vacancies on
the police force by the police and fire
commission Friday night the full COM
plement of the force has been made up
and by rearranging the beats an effort
will be made to give all sections of the
city equal police protection. There is
no denying the fact that the police
force is too small to cover the city as
it should be covered but that is diff
Iiculty that the chief VIII have to
contend with until such a time as the
council is in position to increase the
force to meet the demands of the rap
idly growing territory that the police
must look after. 1t is simply case of
doing the best possible with the number
of men available for patrol duty but
an effort will be made to treat all sec
tions of the city alike and to give each
its share of police service.

STILL ToTING GUN S.
Julians Petrochas Pays a Fine of $50
and Costs in the Municipal Court

The gun pocket seems to be still
fashionable ii Kenosha and the po-
lice had another gun toter in the mu-
.nicipal court this morning who settled
with the court for fine of fifty dol
lars and the costs of the action. The
defendant was Julians Petrochas, a
West Side Italian. He was arrested
by Officer Gear on minor charge out
on Grand avenue Sunday night and
when taken to the lookup it was
found that he was carrying particu-
larlv dangerous looking revolver. The
police at once changed the complaint
to one of carrying concealed weapons.
The man gave the court no good rea-
son for going armed.

OLD PASTORS SPEAK PRAISE
Women Entertain Nearly Half Thou
sand of the Members of the Congre-
cation at Dinner Following Formal
Church Service of the Celebration.

Celebrating semi centennial of
church, the members of the Frauen-
verein of the German Lutheran church
to the number of more than hundred
attended a notable celebration at the
church on Sunday afternoon and the
celebration brought one Of the larg-
est gatherings of the congregation
held since the dedication Of the church
in Rice Park. 1t was gathering of
particular interest to the older men,
bers of the congregation and many
Of them came from other cities and
even other states to attend the ff-
tieth anniversary of the founding of
the organization among the women of
the church.
The Rev. Philip Bremen of Kau-
kauna, who was in charge of the
Kenosha church when the organiza-
tion was founded was present and
one of the speakers. In his address
he spoke especially Of the pioneer
work Of the German Lutherans in Ke-
nosha and he recalled many of the
struggles of the congregation. He re-
called with sorrow that not one Of the
women who had signed the charter
roll Of the Frauenverein was now
living. In the short address he
brought tears and laughter to his au-
ditors in telling of the history of the
church in other days.
The formal anniversary address was
delivered by the Rev. Mr. Streissguth
Of Milwaukee, another of the pioneer
ministers Of Kenosha. His subject
was "The Women Who Followed and
he spoke especially of the place of
women in the church and the work of
the congregation. The big church
was filled to the doors with members
and friends Of the congregation. Be-
fore the opening of the anniversary
service the members of the Frauenver-
Elm met at the school hall and marched
in a body to the church services.
Nearly every one of the one hundred
and thirty members of the organiza-
ton was in attendance at the serv-
ice.
Following the formal service at the
church an informal reception and din
ner was given by the women at the
school hall. Covers were laid for be-
tween four and five hundred members
of the congregation.
Following the dinner the Rev. Carl
Buenger, pastor of the church acted
as POSTMASTER and made an address
in which he congratulated the women
for the work they had done and were
doing for the advancement Of the con-
gregation. George L. Villnow, presi-
dent Of the congregation and the two
ministers who spoke in the afternoon
were also speakers at the banquet
Following the Banquet there was an
informal social reunion.
The Frauenverein is one of the best
known of the women IS organizations
connected with the churches Of Keno
sha and it is one of the most active.
The women united in the society have
had charge of many different lines of
work for the congregation.

The new marriage law which makes
the five day interval between the issu-
ance Of the license and the ceremony a
hard and fast rule will put an end to
one of the flourishing industries of the
city, but it will be noted that some of
the men most affected by the change
are not disposed to regard it as bad
one. Both their consciences and peck
cts will be lighter and one balances the
other.

It has been good many years since
Kenosha had an old fashioned cele-
bration of the Fourth and the people
of the city should be ready to well
come one. If the plans of the Boy
Scouts are supported by the business
men of the city there will be edo
ings" that will keep every Kenosha
citizen at home this year and attract
many visitors to the city. The plans
for a regular celebration will be ap-
proved by the advocates Of the sane
Fourth for they must realize that it
will be much easier to enforce the
laws and prevent the use Of danger
Gus explosives if other amusements
are provided.
