There has been some talk that the
brewing interests In the state might
wage an organized campaign against
the initiative and referendum on the
ground that one of the strongest uses
to which the initiative might be put
in Wisconsin would be the petitioning
on the part of temperance people for
rigid excise legislation. The leaders
Of the brewing interests in this state,
however, deny that they will take any
Fart in the campaign over the initia-
tive and referendum and it is consider
ed by many that it will be very seri-
Gus mistake politically for them to do
so for the reason that it, is claimed
that many people who are friendly to
the change are strong opponents of
rigid excise legislation.
The constitutional amendment reso-
luton will be submitted to the Wiscon-
sin voters at the next general election
in November and if any effective cam
paign is started either for or against
the resolution it will have to begin
soon. It can be said that some people
believe that the initiative and referen-
DUN resolution is less likely to en-
dorsement by the voters than the
friends of the resolution believe.
These people declare that the vote of
Wisconsin is naturally conservative
and that by many the initiative and
referendum resolution will be consid-
cred radical innovation.
No state as yet on vote has ever
turned down an initiative and refer
endum resolution.

WILL WORK IN FACTORY.
Edmund shifter to Return to His Old
Job in Local Factory Monday.

JOB IN Local dcLOTy MONDAY.
Edmund Shifter, recently sentenced
to six months at hard labor in the
municipal court, will begin his term on

return to his old job in a Kenosha fac
tory. Shifter will earn 1925 a day
and of this amount $1.00 will be paid
daily to Shifter Is wife who is now at
Canton, H., and the remainder will be
paid to the county treasurer. Shifter
will not be on the pay roll of the COM
pany by whom he viii be employed
and his time will be credited to the
sheriff. No guard will be required to
watch Shifter as he will be on his
honor and he will be expected to eat
and sleep at the county Jail. The
working out of the plan will be watch
ed with a lot of interest. Charles
Frank was sent to jail for a three
months term at hard labor on Thurs
day and it is expected that plan will
be worked out by which he will be able
to work out his sentence. Frank has
wife and child in Italy and under
the law portion Of his earnings must
be sent to them. Frank declared in
court on Thursday that he had not
been contributing to the support of his
wife and the operation Of the law will
probably bring the woman a very
pleasant little surprise.

Bob Head on Trip to Pana-
ma Spends Week at Vel
iOWst0ne National Park
UNDER SHADOW OF MOUNTAINS

Bob Head of Kenosha has left Vel
loWstone Park and is now making the
second leg of his trip to Panama and
is visiting at cities along the Pacific
Coast. The visit te Yellowstone Park
proved great treat, not only to the
Kenosha boy, but also to the other nine
teen boys who are making the trip as
the guests of the Chicago American.
Letters have been received from Bob
Head and are decidedly interesting.
In writing of the famous government
park he says:
II have been riding in coach for
two days and it has been raining all
the time, but / have been having a
peach of a time. We stayed at the
odd Faithful Hotel / have seen
thirty four geysers; last night we saw
Old Faithful with the flashlight on J;
it going up one hundred and fifty feet,
have sent so many postal cards
that my brain is numb.
| filed two bottles with geyser water
and it was so hot that | could not
touch it. / also took pictures of them.
And once [ put my handkerchief in
and it went down and then came up.
| put my hand in to take it out and
[ have blister OH my thumb and first
finger. We climbed the Rocky Noun
tains more or less for twentyfour
hours. There are squirrels on the front
porch eating out Of Cliffs hand. /
will send you a picture of them. |
have not been sick yet but the air is
thin. When 1 run upstairs I get
| winded.
| have bought few souvenirs and
! collected few pieces of rock. We
are not more than seeing distance from
| the mountains with snow on their tops
and with bears feeding in back Of the
hotel.
The hotel and train service is fine,
all first class. At the hotels we go
as high as $1.75 per meal. Tuesday
we sidetracked and went to theatre
= it was fine.
I have taken three dozen pictures,
including the 'tGreat Falls cold
Faithful, Jr.," "Old Faithful" f4The
Paint Potts. and Morning Glory, "
| also five deer and three bears and
| touched one bear.
The service is grand, but last night
twenty-one people got poisoned on
something at dinner at the Lake Hotel.
[ have been little weak since but not
sick yet but five in our party are on
| their backs with the doctor, including
Cap. / can see the Grand Canyoa

VOTED WITHOUT DUE WARRANT
Federal Bureau of immigration De-
mands Affidavits Showing Cause for
Such Action and Demands That Men
Get Second Papers.

Clerk of the Circuit Court Benjamin
DeDeimar this morning received from
the naturalization bureau in Chicago
an order to secure afidavits from six
residents of Kenosha to show why they
had assumed the rights of citizenship
without complying with the naturaliza-
tion laws. 1t is held that these men
have voted in Kenosha and have ex-
ercised all the rights of citizens with
out having been formally naturalized.
1t is not the intention of the depart
ment to lay these people open to prose.
cution for violation of the federal laws
but the department. viii insist that
these men become regularly naturalized.
The men are now asked to file with
the clerk afidavits showing by what
authority they assumed the rights of
citizens. Two of the men have already
fled the afidavits demanded and both
declare that they voted on represen-
tations made to them by prominent
politicians and Office holders who in
sisted that they were acting entirely
within their rights. All of the six men
came to Kenosha from European
countries as minors. They claim in
their afidavits that they were advis-
ed that the fact that they came to
this country before they attained their
majority made them citizens of the
United States and that they were not
classed with aliens who came after at
tanning their majority. The bureau
has insisted that all of these men must
take out declaration Of intention to be-
come citizens and that they must re-
frain from voting or from taking any
part in election until after they have
secured second papers.
The list sent to the clerk contains
the names of Herman Wachs, Carl Oh
son, Evar Olson, Martin Rupp, Joseph
Krebs and Frederick Borck. It is I'M
derstood that this is the first batch of
afidavits to be sent to Kenosha and
that the naturalization officials have
under investigation the cases of more
than fifty other Kenosha people who
have been exercising the rights Of
citizenship without warrant.
Under the holding Of the department
these people must get their first papers
and then wait two years before second
papers can be issued to them. Under
the former law which was in force
when the men came to Kenosha they
could have received both first and Sec
ond papers at the same time and with
out the long wait. It is said that all
of the people interested have been no
titled by the department to make
afidavits and prepare to make declara-
lions of intention.

POLICE COMMISSION MAY ACT
Claims Girls are Securing Rooms fors
Unlawful Purposes at Hotels and
Offices in Saloons are Used for
Accommodation of Women Drinkers.

Complaints are being made to mem
bers Of the fire and police commission
against the manner in which number
of saloons and hotels in the city are
being conducted and it is declared that
the commission at its next regular
meeting will be asked to send a de-
mand to the police department to either
eliminate the causes of complaint or
file formal complaints with the COM
mon council demanding the revocation
of the licenses Of these places. Five
places, including three hotels and two
saloons are included in the complaints
being made.
1t is asserted that one saloon is
operating a wine room under the guise
of Coffee" and that another one is
permitting the saloon to be made a
resort for men and young girls.
Charges against the hotels are that
they are renting rooms to young women
and that these rooms are being used
for unlawful purposes. This is not the
first complaint to be made against the
three hotels and it is probable that
similar complaints will be made to the
district attorney. The complaints are
of sensational nature and it is de-
clared that these places have repeated
ly violated the law and that the vio-
lations have been so numerous that the
hotels are being Stunned by the travel
ing public who fear raids from the
police.
Alderman Kisten Of the license com
rnittee of the common council has
started an investigation into these
places and it is certain that he will
act promptly if he secures evidence to
warrant the arrest of the keepers of
the places. The police have warned
every saloon man and hotel keeper in
the city against such violations Of the
law and there will be no excuse for
The men who may be caught in the
net now being spread.
Evidence secured in cases heard re-
Gently in the municipal court it is said
will be used to base prosecutions
against some of the people under sus-
picion and it is probable that some
formal action will be taken by the
police before the matter is formally
acted upon by the police and Ere
commission.
People who have been interested in
the protection of young girls of the
city are determined to secure a clean
up of these places and they will bend
tAeir efforts to put an end TO the drink
ing by young women in rooms con-
nected with hotels and bar-rooms.

JOIN STATE CRUSADE.
Kenosha Retailers Assn. to Aid in
Fight Against cake Advertising.

G. D. Theleen, secretary of the Ke-
nosha Retailers Association, was in
Milwaukee On Thursday and had part
in the organization of a state wide
fight against "fake advertising. 1t
is claimed that retailers all over the
state have been imposed upon and all
retail organizations have now combin-
ed to make a fight to put an end to
this sort Of advertising. The crusade
will be carried to every city in the
state and literature will be sent to
every dealer connected with the vari-
Gus associations urging their CO.
operation and explaining to them the
danger of this sort of Advertising
The crusade is simply part Of the
plan of the Wisconsin retailers to get
business on honest methods and it has
been promised wide support.

There is some disappointment over
the fact that the bids for the work on
the Burlington and Somers roads were
higher than those accepted for the
roads now under construction, but the
contracts will not be let unless the bids
come reasonably near the estimates of
the cost of the work made by the state
engineers. 1t will be remembered also
that the state engineers did not hesi-
tate to give their opinion that the bids
rendered by Contractor Wade for the
first of the concrete roads to be built
were too low and that the work could
not be completed under the specifca-
tions laid down by the engineers at a
fair profit under the contract made, so
that those figures hardly furnish a fair
basis for comparison of prices. 1t was
unfortunate also that there was not
more competition on these contracts,
but more of the local concrete contrac-
tors will undoubtedly take up this
branch of the business in the future,
especially as it seems to be pretty well
decided that this county is to go into
that style Of construction extensively.

The sentencing Of a gun toter' to
the county jail for three months under
the state law without the alternative
of a fine is expected to have very
good effect on the class that has de-
fed the efforts Of the police and the
courts to suppress this practice. They
may realize after a few more lessons
of the kind that the authorities are in
earnest In their determination to stop
the carrying of concealed weapons in
the city, no matter how severe measures
it may be necessary to use. Further
more if the penalties under the law as
it stands are not severe enough to stop
this practice when they are used to
the limit, way will be found to pro
vide severer penalties. The law vii
be strengthened to meet the require
ments of the situation as it exists in
this city.

ems many species with extinction. This
was the basis for the long campaign
waged by the Audubon societies of the

nal form the pending tariff bill dealt
an effective blow at the savage slaugh-
Ter by prohibiting the Importation of
feathers, wings, heads, tails, skins or
parts Of skins Of wild birds, except for
scientific or educational purposes. Lat
er this provision was enasculated.
