theatres in the outlying districts Of
Chicago and she stated that she had
met Carpenter only month ago. Three
months before this Carpenter had been
divorced from his former wife who lat-
er went to New York and remarked.
The bride gave her age as forty, but
she did not look it. Mr.. Carpenter said
that he was forty-four. Mrs. Carpen-
ter first came into note as a church
singer in Indianapolis many years ago.
Later she went on the stage and for
years concealed her identity under the
name .The Girl With the Auburn
Hair L. was while she was singing
under this name that she met Carl G.
Fisher, who afterward became one Of
the millionaire leaders of the motor
car industry in Indiana. Fisher made
violent love to her and they became
engaged but later he changed his mind
and married another. Mrs. Carpenter
brought suit for breach of promise, de-
manding the record sum of 100000.
The courts gave her Judgment of
$4,000, but she compromised the suit
for half this sum and went into the
show business in Chicago. She has
been declared by critics to be one of
the Creates ballad singers that this
country has produced. She is woman
of wondrous beauty and expression.

Long Contested Suit Of Herman Piehl
Against Clarence Grow Settle

The long contested civil suit Of Her
man Piehl against Clarence Grow,
which has been on the calendar of the
circuit court for some time and which
occupied the attention of the Jurors in
that court for the past two days, came
to an abrupt ending with the close of
the session of court ON Thursday after
noon at which time attorneys for both
parties announced that settlement
had been reached Piehl in his suit
claimed that Crow had erected barn
too close to his house. Grow, after
fighting two days, settled the case by
buying the Piehl property. The price
is said to have been $4,000, this being
the value set on the property by wit
nesses who had been called in the case.
The order OF the court dismissed the
suit without costs to either party. It
might be said, however, that the pay
ment for jurors for two days and the
regular expenses of the court were
charged against the county.

M. Slattery, Secy., Wiscon-
sin Retailers, Addresses
local Members Thursday
SEES NEED OF ORGANIZATION

Kenosha recall merchants heard
lot about the value of organization at
the regular meeting Of the association
held at the Scholer and Funck building
on Thursday evening, when M. Slattery
of Milwaukee, secretary of the Wiscon-
sin General Merchants Association,
gave very interesting address on the
work that is being planned by the
state association and urged the Keno
sha retailers to cooperate with the
state organization in carrying out the
plans outlined. Mr.. Slattery declared
that results were being secured by the
organization of merchants and that the
merchants themselves were beginning
to realize the great good that could be
accomplished in the regulation of trade
by local and central associations. He
said:
Merchants are being organized all
over Wisconsin, and at the last session
of the legislature the power Of such
organization was felt in many ways. Il
Mr.. Slattery is an optimist and he
declared that he believed that within
few years the legislature Of Wiscon-
sin would be made up entirely of bust
ness men and that this happy condition
Of affairs would be brought about
through the activity of organizations
among, the merchants. He declared
chat the business men of the state are
taking politics more to heart now than
ever before and that they had begun
to appreciate that the success Of their
business demanded the election of bust
ness men to make the laws that are to
control trade in the state. He declar-
ed that business men make the best
law makers and that this fact had been
shown by the activity of other than
professional men in the recent session
of the legislature and the things that
had been accomplished as result of
these activities.
After the address of Mr.. Slattery the
merchants took up the discussion of the
one cent letter postage and it was de-
cided to have Wisconsin congressman
bombarded with letters urging their
support for the lower postage rate. 1t
was announced chat Congressman Coop
er, Brown, Frear and Lenroot had not
as yet committed themselves on this
question and an especial effort will be
made to reach these congressman. Al
ready the Kenosha merchants have sent
petitions to the postoffice department
in Washington urging a reduction in
letter postage.

Kenosha Manufacturers are
Given High Praise by State
Factory Inspector Evans
AID COMMISSION IN WORK

Manufacturers in Kenosha are given
a clean bill as a result of. the inveSti-
cation of conditions in Keuosha fac
tories just completed by State Factory
Inspector D. D. Evans Of Racine. In
spector Evans had been at work in Ke-
nosha for more than week and when
he left for his home in Racine on FEi-
day afternoon he declared that it was
pleasure for him to make an inspec-
tion in Kenosha.
"There is no place in my territory
where manufacturers are living up to
the spirit and letter Of the law better
than in Kenosha," said Mr.. Evans.
The manufacturers here look at the
state factory inspection law from a
common sense standpoint and they
were among the first of the manufact-
urers of the state to give support to
the law and to the officials in charge
of enforcing it. | did not find single
violation of the law in Kenosha this
year and in fact it has been two years
since I had anything to do with arrests
here. Every reasonable request of the
state department has been met in an
intelligent way by the Kenosha manu-
facturers and they are in many cases
going further than the law demands.
These men are men of big minds and
they appreciate the value of protecting
the workmen and they see also that
wise laws for the regulation of labor
are a good thing for their business.
There is no city which / visit in which
find conditions better than in Keno
sha and few of them can show as good
record
The only prosecutions that have been
made in this county for violations Of
the labor law, with single exception,
have been against the so-called small
er employers of labor. One factory
foreman was cited to- go into court on
account of violation of the law, but
this was settled by the payment of the
minimum fine and the conditions com
planned of were promptly corrected.
Members of the industrial commits
SION have seconded the sentiments
given by the factory Inspector and
these men have declared that many
suggestions of value in safe guarding
workmen in the state have been secur-
ed by visits to Kenosha factories
Nearly every bulletin issued by the COM
mission shows some contribution to the
cause of safety first" from Kenosha.

NO FORMAL ACTION IS TAKEN
Visitors Declare milwaukee, Men are
willing to Invest Money if Local
Support for Third Bank in Kenosha
Can be Secured Talk Politics, Too.

A preliminary meeting to discuss
plans for the opening Of new bank
in Kenosha was held at the dining
room Of the New Pork Hotel on Thurs,
day evening but no definite steps were
taken toward the opening of the new
institution. Judge John G. Karel,
judge of the probate court in Milwau-
kee, and former democratic candidate
for governor, came down to meet with
the Kenosha men, bringing with him
B. A. Patmythes, one of the minor of
6cials of the First National Bank in
Milwaukee.
The matter of the new bank for Ke-
nosha was discussed from several
angles. Among the Kenosha men pres
emit at the meeting were former Mayor
James German, John M. Kehlor, form
or Sheriff Andrew F. StahI and T. M.
Matthews. These men had attended
the meeting in answer to an invitation
from the promoters in Milwaukee and
none of them was interested in the
proposed movement. Financial condi-
tions in the city and county were dis
cussed at length and it was declared
that there was an opening for a bank
in Kenosha and that such bank
might prove profitable business in
vestment. The Milwaukee men declar-
ed that there were number of men of
financial standing in that city who
were willing to make an investment in
Kenosha if the proper support for a
bank could be secured among local peo-
pie but the Milwaukee men are unwill-
ing to take up the matter without this
support. Judge Karel came to Kenosha
as the representative of these men, but
he is also willing and ready to have
part in the opening of a banking insti-
tuition. The judge has a wide acquain-
tance in Kenosha and it was largely
through friendship for him that the
meeting was held.
At the conclusion of the meeting no
formal action had been taken, but with
She facts in regard to the situation
pretty well in hand, Judge Karel and
mis- associate returned to Milwaukee
and the matter will be taken up further
with the Milwaukee men interested
Local men who attended the meeting
declared that everything was of an in.
formal nature and that the public will
be fully advised when any plan for the
opening of the institution is matured
The visit of Judge Karel proved
quite interesting for the politically in
clined of Kenosha and many of his
warm political friends called at the
hotel during the evening to greet him
and talk politics The judge was not
talking politics under any circumstances
and he admitted that it was decidedly
early to discuss any plans for the next
state campaign. 1t has been given out
in Milwaukee that the judge will again
be candidate for governor on the
democratic ticket, but this statement
was given no confirmation during the
visit to Kenosha on Thursday night.
Local democrats are closely in touch
with the Karel candidacy and it is Ger
tain that should he come into the fielC
again he would have strong. support il
this section of the state.

WOULD BAR ALL MINORS OUT
Ordinance Suggested Would Regulate
Sanitary Condition of Places and give
the Mayor the Right to Revoke the
Licenses for Violations of Law.

At the next meeting Of the common
council the aldermen will be asked to
take some action on the passage of an
ordinance to provide for the licensing
Of dance halls in the city. The ordi-
nance will also provide for the proper
regulation of such places by the police
department and it is said that it will
have the full support of Chief O'Hare
and the members of the department
For long time there has been de-
mand for some fixed regulations for
such places in the city. In recent years
many dance halls have sprung up in
the city and these have been regulated
for the most part under orders of the
mayor and by the laws Of the state.
Conditions in Kenosha are such that it
seems necessary for the city to lay
down formal regulations for the man.
agement of all of these places. Other
cities have taken up the plan of reg
ulating the dance halls by ordinance
and it is declared that the plan is aid
ing materially in remedying evils that
have attended the management of these
places in the past.
The matter has been laid before sew
eral Of the aldermen by people in the
city who have made close study Of
the dance halls and they suggest IL
censing them and the passing Of reg
ulations prescribing certain rules COM
polling compliance with sanitary, fire
and police regulations of the city. It
is suggested that the mayor be given
the right to revoke the license of any
dance hall when satisfied that the
dances are run in disorderly, sugges-
tive or improper manner. 1t is asked
that the ordinance prohibit minors I'M
der the age Of eighteen years being at
any dance after ten clock at night.
The ordinance is asked to contain a
provision against the holding of public
dances on Sunday and to provide that
dance halls must be closed on all nights
save Saturday on or before two o CLOCK
in the morning. On Saturday night it
is suggested chat the closing hour BIZ
made twelve O'Clock.
It is held that all the regulations are
fair to the keepers of the dance halls
and it is thought that they would do
much to regulate dances in Kenosha.
Many complaints have been made
against the appearance Of young girls
at public dances Ia the city and it is
understood that the promoters Of the
ordinance are aiming especially at this
feature Of the public dance.
1t is probable that the ordinance will
also contain some provision against the
sale of liquor in dance halls and in
rooms adjoining them. Claims have
been made that liquor has been sold in
dance halls after the regular closing
hours as made by city ordinances, but
this fact is denied by the police officials.
