The Wisconsin Industrial commission
has decided thai tie city is liable for
dam4ges in the -Umathum case but
without fixing the compensation to be
paid by the city, suggesting thft the
city and the beneficiary should be able
to agree on the amount Of damages to
be paid. lnasmuch as the case of the
city is prejudieed to certain extent
by the decision Of the commission, if an
appeal is made to the courts from the
decision of the commission, it looks as
if it would be cheaper for the city
TO settle as suggested, provided of
course, that a reasonable agreement can
be made. The amount that the city
should pay is practically fixed by the
compensation act and if the heirs are
willing to accept that it might be
cheaper for the city to pay than to APP
peal Of course if the. demands made
are unreasonable there is nothing for
the city to do but fight. 1t, would have
been more satisfactory all around had
the commission when hearing the case
gone into it thoroughly enough to have
fixed the compensation.

The court even consented for an ad-
iOurnment Of the gearing, but Javaltas
declared that he IS willing to return
to jail and tell story at the octo-
Der term of the urt.
No formal charge was preferred
against Benjamin Bishop in the ease.
He was released Thursday evening on
cash bond of $1,000 and a bond of
81 800 was demanded of him today,
that ne appear as witness in the
further hearings of the case.
The condition of Javaltas and his
evident sorrow and lack of experience
n all things relating to the case won
for him some sympathy from the of
1iclals. 1t is certain that the boy had
been drinking at the time that he
t.hbed Langenbaeh. There was moth
ing brought out III the story of the de
PENDANT which indicated that Langen-
bach had in any way sought to at
tack him.
Few new facts in regard TO the case
were brought out at the inquest held
by Coroner H. G. Millager at the
county court room this morning.
The district attorney was on hand
and was in charge of the examination
of witnesses, but little evidence ex-
cept that which surrounded the actual
stabblng of Langenbach was gone in
to. Doctors M A. Bernstein and III. A.
Robinson We're called to the stand and
they testified TO the condition Of the
wound which caused the death Of Lang
enbach. They held that the man had
a wound seven inches in length pierre
ing the chest cavity, the left lung and
the outer covering of the heart and
that several veins and an artery had
been severed. They declared that She
wound was sufficient to cause the death
Of Langenbach.
Police Officer Biennemann testified
to finding the knife which had belong
ed to Javaltas in the catch basin at
the hotel corner.
The most interesting evidence was
given by Miss Anna Erickson and John
Thomassen. They were in a buggy at
the curb at the time the assault on
Langenbach took place. Miss Eriek-
son testified that she had seen Javaltas
swing at Langenbach, but she did not
see the knife. Thomassens saw the blow
and declared to the jury that he heard
Javaltas declare, III kill you. Both
witnesses stated that after the stab
hotel and that they did not know that
he had been stabbed. They testified
that after the cutting Javaltas spun
around like top and seemed to be
greatly excited.
Henry Noring of the fire department
was called and he testified to the con-
dition Of Langenbach on his return to
the bar-room Of the hotel, also to the
fact that he had put the defendant
out of the bar-room just before the
stabbing took place. M
The jury returned a verdict finding
that Langenbach had come to his
death as a result of a knife wound in
flicted by Peter Javaltas
just as soon as the coroner s jury
completed it's work the defendant was
brought before Judge Randall in the
municipal court for preliminary hear
ing. The warrant charged murder in
the first degree and plea of "not
guilty. was entered as provided by
the statutes. The defendant seemed to
be dazed as he appeared in court and
his face still showed clearly the marks
Of the terrible beating which had been
given him after the stabbing on Wed
nesday night.

deal Of effort made the statement to
DR.. Bernstein.
After the cutting Jarvie threw the
knife into the catch basin near the
corner and it was found later by mem
bers of the police department. The
knife was an ordinary pocket knife
with a blade about two inches long and
Jarvie must have welded it with great
force to make the wound found on
| Langenbach. It is declared that Bis
hop was in the baT-room at the time
of the cutting. As soon as the men
We're taken to the police station Jarvie
refused to give his name or to make
any statement. Bishop was later re-
leased and in company with an officer
was allowed to go to the Bishop homo
in Somers where he spent the night.
He returned and surrendered himself
to the police at nine clock this
morning
Bishop gave his version Of the story
this morning. He said that with Jar
vieA he had come to Kenosha just after
two O'Clock "Wednesday afternoon and
that they had peddled a load Of pota-
toes. Aftertasupper they had gone to
saloon on Park street where they
had couple of drinks after which
they went to- the Hotel Jacobs. Bis
hop said that ythe fight started over a
dice game and that he could not tell
Just how the trouble started. In the
free for all fight that followed Bishop
himself was roughly handled but it is
said that Langenbach had nothing to
do with the assault on either of
the men,
At the police4 Office this morning
Jarvie declared that he was eighteen
yeas Of age and that he had been en-
ployed on the Bishop farm for the
past month He at first refused to
admit that the blood stained knife
taken from the catch basin was his
property, but later under the sugges-
ton from Bishop he admitted tie own
ership of the knife. He seemed died
and would make no statement in re-
gard to the cutting. Jarvie was badly

police Office this morning he appear
ed with badly swollen face and
blood marks all over his he-d.
The murdered man was we'll known
in Kenosha He was a son Of Henry
Langenbadh and brother of Langen-
bach brothers in charge of the motor
cycle store at the corner of Exchange
and Park streets. He had spent much
of his life in Kenosha and was not
known as trouble maker. He was
unmarried, an expert machinist by
trade and for some time he had been
employed at the Wah1berg and John
son garage. Langenbach was not in
toxicated at the time of the stabbing
and witnesses of the ARRAY declared
that he sought to avoid any trouble.
Jarvie was in no condition to be
taken into court this morning, but
it is expected that he will be ar
raigned on a charge of murder some
time late this afternoon. No formal
charge has been made against Bishop.
The latter was not seriously injured
in the melee which attended the
fatal cutting.
The remains of Langenbach were re-
moved to The Hansen morgue and Coro-
ner Millager at once began investigat-
ing the case. A jury was called late

will be done in regard to fling formal
complaints in the case until after the
verdict of the coroner's jury is re-

There are plenty of good arguments
against the constitutional amendment
resolution which passed almost with
out debate and with little publicity at
this session which provides that in the
future constitutional amendments viii
have ito pass only one legislature be-
fore being submitted to the people, but
that they must be passed by the vote
of three-ffths Of the. members Of each
house, but the one first advanced is
not one of them, 1t is pointed out that
the constitutional amendment resolu-
ions which have passed the Legislature
in recent sessions were slipped through
at the fag end Of the session when but
few members of each house were in
attendance and passed by bare ma
lority and that if the three-ffths rule
had been In force some of the amend
ments would not have gotten through.
That is,a fine argument against the
amendment to put up to the people of
the state who have an appreciation of
the Importance of these amendments.
Most of them would favor making the
vote necessary to pass resolutions
three-fourths instead of three ffths and
they certainly do not favor having
these resolutions put through as reg
ular routine business. The legislature
has no more important measures to deal
with than those relating to changes in
the state constitution and they should
be brought up before the full member
ship Of both houses and passed, if they
are passed at all, only after a full and
open discussion. 1t is supposed to be
the fashion just now to attack and al
ter constitutions in every way posi-
BILE, at least the politicians who 'fplay
politics. in the legislature seem to
hold that belief, but it remains to be
seen whether or not there is any such
widespread demand among the people
of this state fo1 some of the constitu
tional amendments that will be sub
mitted as the men who sneaked the
resolutions through the legislature by
hare majority vote would have u
believe.

another stretch of road in the county,
coupled with the usual warning against
tresspassing upon the section under re-
pairs, has been published by the high
way commissioner, but in this case it is
something more than the usual formal
notice. The county authorities are very
tired of the hindrances to the work by
the invasion of roads under construe-

better and the warning in this notice
is the only one that will be given and
arrests will follow any disobedience of

"SPRING MAIDS" COMPOSER
Had Romantic Beginning to

Under Kaiser S Wing.

Heinrich Rcuhardt. the composer Of
"Thc Spring Maid" has had AN exceed

of. love interest quite as interesting as
that of any of his operas. Ills family is
q wealthy one. but at the age Of sixteen
hc ran away from home on account OF
faucicd restrictions and obtained a place
as yiOluist Jt the Stuttgart opera House.
lie WAS ambitious to gain recognition as
a composer of grand opera. and wrote two
which were sung ar the Berlin Royal Opera
House under the patronage of the Kaiser,
but they were not successes. The failure
Of his first grand opera won for him the
sympathy Of a lady much older than
himself who was closely connected with
the nobility. The young composer became
exceedingly devoted to her, and many of
his musical compositions We're dedicated
to her Her regard for him. however.
never grew warmer than that of friend
ship Ills close association with her fam
ily continued, however. and after the pro-
ducton Of The Spring Maid in Berlin

after Inc was recouciicd with his family
from whom he had been cstranged since
his early youth.

BOHEMIAN PLAYERS
New York Organization to Give
Little Lord FauntIerOy'
in English.

SO great has been the demand 'or seats
at the revival of Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" a the Lyric Theatre next Friday,
that there is already talk of a repetition
OF the performance. This earl assurance
Of success is I'm part due TO the love Of
the public for this stage favorite af other
days and the treat Will be shared by the
younger generation Of playGoers. who
have come on the scene since our little
ringleted mordlist last appeared before
the footlights The cause. too, has a
strong appeal j, IS benefit perform

But the character OF the players them
selves makes this revival a hsuon.c
curiosity worthy OF attention. Probably
never before has Mrs. BunetJs famous
play appeared under more unusual con-
ditions These amateur actors. many Of
them. do not speak English. or II they

shopkeepers artisans and what-not have
so well learned their lines by rote that
no uninitiated listener would suspect that
English was not their native tongue.
Moreover, they are so imbued with tina
spirit of the play, which they have pre-
scented many times in tho Bohemian. that
the merit of the work is in no way I'M
paired by the translation.
That this presentation, judging from
the rehearsals. is by no means crude
amateur exhibition is due to the pecular
genius of the Bohemian people. 'Co
Czech to muzikant' C'Whoever is a Bohe'
milan is a musician is a common maxim
in Bohemia, and if he is not literally a
