MAY Go TO SUPREME COURT.
Appeal in Polinini Case Being Consid-
cred by Attorneys for Italian.

The supreme court will probably be
asked to review the proceedings of the
circuit court for Kenosha county which
resulted in the conviction Of Dominick
Polimini on charges of manslaughter III
the second degree. Attorney Robert
Verne Baker, who defended Polimini, is
now preparing an appeal to the su-
preme court. He holds that the defen-
dant should either have been found
guilty Of murder in the first degree or
should have been acquitted on the
theory that he shot in self defense.
The formal appeal of the case has not
as yet been filed but the attorney is
having the testimony written up. Poll
mini is now serving five year sentence
at the state prison at Waupun. His
friends are strongly urging the appeal

The change in the plans by which
the improvement Of the north shore
road is to begin at the limits of the
city instead of leaving a stretch of I'M
improved highway between the city
pavements and the beginning Of the
improved road will be approved by the
people of the city and by every fair
minded man in the county. In view OF
the fact hat the city pays three-ffths
of all taxes levied on the county for
road improvement it is entitled to-
some consideration in the way OF hay
ing roads leading directly to the county
seat from which direction improved
first; from which it may be noted the
people of the county will benefit fully
as much as those Of the city.

The representatives of the Wisconsin
Telephone Company and the Kenosha
Home Telephone Company in conference
with Mayor Head and other officials of
the city on Friday afternoon trained
their, batteries on the proposed ordi-
nance for underground wires and while
the city officials have not made any
changes in the ordinance as yet it is
possible that changes will be recon-
mended before the ordinance is form
ally acted on by the council. The
representatives of the telephone COM
panies protested especially against the
provisions of the ordinance in regard
to streets to be paved in the city in
the future and. they held that the pro-
visions of the ordinance as drawn are
particularly Objectionable.
The ordinance provides that when
ever a, street shall be permanently i'm
proved the companies shall on sixty
days notice from the city engineer pro-
vide for the installation of conduits in
the street in question. Tt was declar-
ed that this provision would be great
hardship to the companies and repre-
sentatives declared that this work could
not be done at a profit to the COM
panies.
cit is impossible for us to estimate
the amount of business that will be
done on these streets in the future, -
was the claim of the representatives,
"and we have no measure of the
amount of underground conduits which
must be put in. The investment in
such underground work might be made
very large and if such an investment
is made it would be necessary for the
company to raise it's rates for phone
rentals to pay the interest on the
money invested. Any improvements
that are made by the company must be
made at the expense of the phone users.
1t is possible that the city might di-
rect the paving of a street on which
the company had practically no bust
ness at all, In such case there would
be little or no return from the invest
ment and this cost of carrying would
have to be charged against the bust
ness in other parts of the city,"
The representatives of the company
did not make any great objection to
the proposed underground conduits in
the down town districts and it was de-
clared that these conduits were now be-
ing put in as rapidly as possible and
that this work would be taken care of
AS it became necessary to replace the
existing poles and wires of the com
pany. The representatives all agreed
that the main objection was not to the
cost of the conduits but to the impos-
sibility of knowing how much under
ground work should be put in. There
was no appearance on the part of the
telegraph or electric light companies
doing business in the city and it is
thought that these people will be ready
to meet the demands of the ordinance
as drawn without bubble. The electric
light company has installed conduits
under several of the paved streets of
the city.

SOUGHT AT FIT. WAYNE.
w. H. Corbett Arrested Here Sought as
Forger by Ft. Wayne Police.


w. III. Corbett, arrested in Kenosha
a few days ago charged with passing
worthless check and released on the
following day after he had paid fine
of $25 and the costs of the action, is
now being sought by the police at TT.
Wayne, Ind, on charges of forgery. Tt
is alleged that man answering the
description of Corbett and registering
under the name of w. H. Carry, was at
a boarding house at FIT. Wayne on the
night of April Gath and occupied a
room with Higgins Kaufman of Forest,
o. the representative of company in
the Ohio city. During the night the
check book belonging to Kaufman was
stolen. On the following day three
checks to which the name of Kaufman
was forged were passed in Ft. Wayne.
The checks sent by the Ft. Wayne
authorities are almost identical with
the check passed by Corbett here. All
Of them are drawn upon the First Ma
tional Bank in Forest. Corbett when
arraigned here was anxious to get
through with the case and when ques-
toned by Judge Randall he declared
that he had found the check passed
here in Cleveland. Corbett has a
brother-in-law in Kenosha, but it is de
clared that he has left the city. The
brother-in-law paid the fine of Corbett
here and also advanced money to make
good the worthless check that he had
passed. Efforts are now being made
to get some trace of Corbett.

ROB CITY TOOL BOX.
Thieves Break Into Work Shop of the
Water Company and Secure Lead Coil.

The police of the city were asked to-
day to make an effort to get some trace
of thieves who broke into the tool
wagon of the city water company on
West Grand avenue ON Wednesday
night. The thieves managed to get
away with coil of lead valued at So
and several brass fittings. In their
anxiety to take every thing in sight
the thieves smashed the melting ket-
tie with an axe 1t is supposed that
the thefts were committed by boys
living in the neighborhood and junk
shops are being searched in hopes that
they will yield some clew to the guilty
parties.

the members of their immediate fami-
lies. The groom claimed that he was

Even our most innocent recreations
seem hedged about with unseen dangers.
In recent issue of The journal of the
American Medical associatio mis- report
ed the case of boy who lost the
sight of his right eye as the result of
cutting into, golf ball. This report is
by no means the first one of its kind;
indeed, there have been many both here
and abroad, and attention has been
called to the unwisdom of dissecting
any golf bali lest it prove to be one
of the WATERFORD variety. AS a
rule the centers 4of these balls are
formed by rubber bag containing
various heavy fluids, almost all of
which are highly caustic. Analyses of
the contents in a number of reported
cases have disclosed hydrochloric acid,
solutions of zinc Chord, caustic soda
and other dangerous cauterants. These
burning liquids aud their rubber con
tainer are tightly covered by machine
wound ribbons or other material, and
are thereby subjected to great pres
sure. 1t follows that when burst or
cut open the fluid contents are expelled
with explosive force, generally into
the face of the dissector or some in
nocent onlooker Recently the United
States Golf association took up the
matter and issued this warning: tOw-
ing to the fact that serious accidents
have occurred in the past. few years
due to cutting open certain makes of
golf-balls containing acid and other
sight-destroying compounds, the asso-
citation warns all persons to refrain
from this dangerous practice. 2 Wheth-
er or not the resiliency or sscarrying
power" of golf balls is enhanced by
furnishing them with some sort of fluid
core may be left~t to the proper .authori-
ties to decide; but the public should
know of the u dangerous character of
some golf balls and should know that
it is the part of wisdom not to invite
disaster by dissecting them.

Report of Poormaster For
Year Just Closed Shows a
Big Saving for the City
.PAUPERS PAYING FOR SUPPORT

The annual report of Jacob Saftig
as poormaster was submitted to the
city clerk today and it shows ma
terial reduction in the cost of main
tanning this department of the city dur
| ing the past year. The report shows
that the total amount received by the
poormaster for the care of the depen-
dents in the city amounted to
$7,52737. There was $40 on hand at
the beginning Of the year and the re-
ceipts were made up of city orders to
the amount of $1,000, receipts from the
poor farm of $318.65 and collected from
people who had been given aid $198.
Poormaster Saftig has advocated the
plan of advancing money to meet i'm
mediate demands rather than making
actual gifts to people seeking help.
This plan has worked well and it has
not only been a saving to the city in
actual dollars and cents, but it has
prevented some people from becoming
dependent on the city.
The total disbursements for the year
amounted to $6,714.24 and the poor
master has a balance on hand Of
$813.16. The list of disbursements
follows:
Outstanding bills, May l, 1912 317.2S
DR.. George E. Thompson, city
physician .......... 10000
George Meyer, salary at poor
farm $4,000
Expense Of poor farm ..... 535.57
Coal furnished to city poor. 557.55
Wood for citv poor ..... 117.O0
Supplies for the poor and other
expense ............. 3,359.54
Hospital bills ............... 313.S5
Board Of health-quarantine
cases ............... 575.74
Tickets for paupers to other
countries 52.6s
Cash on hand .............. ol3.lb
During the year twenty-four appli-
cations were received from people
seeking support from the city in addi-
tion to the families that had been car
ried over from former years. Of this
number two were refused, seven died
and nineteen were discharged. Five
patients were. sent to the Kenosha hos
pital and two to other hospitals.
There are at the present time about
fifty families receiving full or part
support from the city.

by their votes that their city is big.
ger than any party is called election
day.

they please, rather than vote as
they are told. It's healthier.
3. The best way for party to show

election. 1t is cheerful looser.
a. In some cities some parties by
eheerfully taking defeat on election
day, year after year have proven their
greatness and gone on to victory.

Is big enough to get in and help the
winning party build up the cities in.

very front ranks Of progression.

help their cause nor their city one bit
for them to stoop to doing the after
election sorehead stunt.
: Z. Political parties have a mission
1t Is true, but that mission is not to
