Of the late M. Huck of this city and
well known to many people of Ke-

people in Kenosha. The deceased was
born and raised in Kenosha, but he
went to Quincy many years ago. For
some time he was engaged as a pro-
fessor of music but in recent years he
had been a manufacturer. He is said
to have been most successful as
manufacturer. He is survived by
widow and six children. Announce
ment of the funeral has not been re-

Many Visitors Come to Attend the Elk
ercises of the Day-Annual Reading
of the Marks to Take Place on
Wednesday Morning at Gymnasium.


Little Commencement the annual
graduation of the preparatory de-
partment at Kemper Hall brought a
much larger attendance at the hall to-
day and many of the former students

main for the closing days of commence
ment week. The commencement dec
oratlons are now all in place and all
the buildings at the school are in holi-
day attire. Wednesday will bring the
most interesting event Of commence
ment week for the students as on that
morning will occur the reading of the
marks and the awarding of the medals
and prizes for the year. There has
been keen rivalry among the students
this year for the honors and the an
nouncement is awaited with consider
able anxiety.

tory school were held at the gymnasium

Few Foreigners Seek Second
Papers Since new Law Be-
came Effective Here.
THINK FRANCHISE RIGHT LOST

Foreigners in Kenosha county seem
to have lost all interest in becoming
citizens and less than twenty-five of
the aliens have filed petitions for sec
ond papers to be heard at the Septem-
Der term of the circuit court. This
will be the last time for the hearing
of the petitions this year and clerk of
the court, B. F. DeDiemar, has sent
out notices to many of the aliens, noti-
flying them that they must get in their
petitions before the end of the present
week or wait until next year to seek
the suffrage privilege by getting
second papers.
The loss of franchise seems to have
taken the gimp out of the aliens and
a half dozen schools which were
maintained to coach the aliens so that
they might pass examinations have
closed their doors and the examiners of
the government who have been at work
in the city find few of the aliens able
to pass examinations. There are sixty
petitions to be heard at the June term
of the court and it is feared that many
of these applications will be rejected
on account of the lack of preparation
of the applicants.
cit seems certain that the taking
away of the vote of the aliens has had
a big effect on the demand for second
papers, said the clerk this morning.
60 This time last year we were kept
busy taking care of petitions for Sec
ond papers, but many of the aliens
seem to believe that the new law
does not grant them the right to vote
even after they secure their second
papers. Most of them seem to have
reached the idea that they must have
secured these second papers before tb
first of December of last year in order
to get the right of suffrage. I have
taken the matter up with hundreds of
aliens in order that they may be fully
advised but it is impossible to arouse
any interest. 1t is probable that with
an election in sight there will be a
greater demand for second papers but
it is certain that the September natur-
aliza5ion day will be very quiet one
as compared with former days of this
kind liz the Kenosha court.

CAN I MAKE CONTRACT
State Supreme Court Inter-
prets the Law in Regard
to Franchise Ordinances
NO POWER TO CHANGE FARES


The prevalent idea that a franchise
granted by common council to a
railway company was contract and
that the city and the company are
forced to carry out its provisions just
as if it We're a contract was knocked
into cooked hat by decision of the
Wisconsin Supreme Court handed down
on Saturday, copies of which reached
kenosha today and under the ruling
of the court the city S rights to de-
mand things from a railway company
are limited The supreme court holds
that the railroad commission is SUI
preme in such matters and that an
order of the commission is more bind
ing that the supposed franchise con-
tract. The court specifically held that
the city council of the city of Milwau
kee had no power to make any con-
tract with railway company relating
to the amount to be charged as fares
for passengers and held that the ques-
tion of fixing rates must be left with
such bodies as were named by legisla-
tive enactment. In the Kenosha fran
chise ordinances the rate of fare is
fixed but under the ruling of the court
changes in this rate may be made by
an appeal to the commission.
In the opinion Of Chief Justice
Winslow, he says in part:
"The power to fix rates to be charg-
ed by public utilities is one of the
attributes of sovereignty. With us,
the power is vested in the legislature /"
Speaking further, the chief justice
says:
''The proposition decided in this
case is that Section 1862 of the
statute does not empower municipal
authorities to make any contracts with
the street railway company so that
they may not be changed by the legis-
lature or through a legislative agency
in a manner provided by law
The court concluded that no power
was conferred on the municipality to
make an unalterable or irrepealable
contract with the corporation, and
hence that the city of Milwaukee did
not do so. There is contract, says
the court, but subject to alteration by
the state.

Poston Gets an Inning.

The Poston Payer brick had it's day
with the council Monday night and
after the report of the test Of brick
made by the street assessment commit
tee, which showed that Poston PAYER,
Barr and burlington brick all met the
specifications of the city, the council
voted to permit the use of the Pos
ton Payer on the Grand avenue pave
ment and Contractor George R. Wade,
who has the job, will be instructed
to start work at once. With eleven
cars of the brick in the city there
should be no further delay in the
starting of work ON the street.
Congress street paving will probably
be laid up indefinitely. The street
assessment committee sent report to
the council favoring the improvement
of the street with brick pavement,
but the council failed to accept the
report and the whole matter was re-
ferred back to the property owners
with instructions that they agree
among themselves as to he width to
which the street is TO be improved, and
the material to be used in the pave
ment. In any event no effort will be
made to pave the street this year.
The council decided to make an eff
fort to relieve the conditions on Salem
avenue and the street commissioner
was directed to fill up tho holes on the
street as much as possible. 1t is ex-
pected that the paving of this street
will be started in another month.
Table Railway Ordinance.
The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company sent an application for the
passage of an ordinance amending the
railway franchise ordinance and ex-
tending the time for the laying of
double tracks on Ashland avenue, but
the council declined to consider the
ordinance. In place of it a formal
resolution was passed extending the
time fo- the building of The double
track five years with the understand
ing that the company pay for twenty
feet of paving. 1t is not known
whether or not this viii meet with the
approval of the company.
More Trunk Sewer Claims.
More property owners are presenting
claims for damages alleged to have re-
suited from the building of the trunk
sewer. Claims of thousand dollars
were filed as follows: John Bruss,
$3.50; Peter Turklesen, $3.50; and
Emory Sharp, $500. All were referred
to the special commission.
The question of the Lake avenue
breakWater was up before the council
and the report of the street assess
ment committee indicated that it
would cost about $4,000 to secure the

PROVIDERS BoTHERsoME.
Police Get Many Reports of Men
Sneaking About Houses in City.

There seems to be an epidemic of
night prowling in Kenosha. Not that
Kenosha people are usually night
hawks, but the present epidemic is of
a type that is unusual in the city The
police had several calls on Monday
night sending in complaints against
men seen prowling about residences in
the city. None Of the men was cap
tured but the officers have been given
special orders to be on the lookout for
these fellows and to arrest them even
if it is necessary to take them to Jail
in an ambulance.

PASS THE WIRE ORDINANCE
Council Decides to Use Poston Payer
Brick for the Paving of the West
End of Grand Avenue-More Claims
For Building Trunk Sewer.

The eight hour day for all city Of
licials failed to meet with the approval
Of the members Of the Kenosha Com
mon Council at the meeting on Monday
night and the council without dis
senting vote decided to file petit
ton from score of employees OF the
city asking that the eight hour day
be granted to them. The petition
was supported by resolutions passed
by the Trades and Labor Council and
by various labor unions in the city,
but the aldermen held that it would
be impossible to adopt an eight hour
day here without reducing the wages
of salaried employees and day labor
ers. Many Of the aldermen were will
ing to grant the day laborers an eight
hour day with eight hour pay, but they
would not concede this to salaried men
who were working under contracts
with the city. Some of these men are
working at the present time twelve
hours day and if the city adopted
the eight hour day it would be neces-
sary to put ON third shift of work
men. In the petition nothing was said
in regard to the pay for eight hours
and it is thought certain that all the
employees would be much opposed to
eight hour pay.
Kenosha now mas an underground
wire ordinance and under the provi-
sions of it all wires in the down town
district of the city must go under
ground within the next four wears.
The ordinance was passed by the
unanimous vote of the council. Its
provisions are not regarded as irksome
to any of the companies maintaining
wire service in che city and it is
thought that these people will comply
with most of the provisions without
bubble. The ordinance will go into
effect on publication on Thursday.
There is no immediate effect from the
ordinance, but the officials will see
that it is enforced so far as the pro-
visions in regard to future street i'm
provement is concerned.
