READY FOR FIGHT IN COURT
Street Assessment Committee to Adver-
tise for New Bids at Once and an Eff
fort will be made to have Improve
ment of Street Completed by Oct. !,

The city council sat tight in the paw
ing controversy with Contractor George
R. Wade on Monday night and demand
ed a showdown of the Wade contention
by resembling the contract which had
been made for the paving of Salem ave-
nue. and by directing the street assess
ment committee to advertise for new
bids for the work 1t is possible that
the city will be called upon to defend
its action in court, but it is ready to
defend it and the resembling of the
contract is expected to make it pos
sible to get the street improved this
year. Under the plan of the street as
-sessment committee the bids for the
paving of the street will be opened the
last Friday in June and if the contract
is let by the council at the first meet
ing in July any contractor who is will
ing to carry out contract will have
time enough to complete the work,
The resembling of the Wade contract
came after the correspondence between
Wade and the street assessment com
mittee had been sent to the council by
the committee. In this correspondence
Wade had declared to the committee
that he was determined to defy the
city council s orders and pave the
street with Poston Payer brick provid-
ed this brick stood test made by the
city. City Attorney Slater was called
to give an opinion in the case and he
held that under the contract Wade
could use nothing but Barr brick on the
street and he held that this contract
was we'll known to Wade before it was
signed. Attorney Slater also held that
the city would be acting within it's legal
rights by resembling the contract on ac-
count of the fact that the work had
not been started within fifteen days, as
demanded by the contract. Formal or
der to start the work had been served
on Wade by the committee on May 1st.
The action of the council in resembling
the contract was taken without division.
Then came the tragic part of the Incl
dent. Attorney R. V. Baker, who has
acted as adviser of the contractor in
the controversy took the floor and with
great vigor and expression served notice
on the members of the council that
Wade would fight in the courts. He de-
clared that Frank NJ. Hoyt of Milwau-
kee had been retained to conduct the
court action against the city on the
part of the contractor and that the city
would be forced to pay damages for in
terfering with the carrying out Of the
contract.

Balk as the conservative may at the
tendency of the government of organic

nevertheless in which the stanchest

Baker held that Wade had beea de-
layed in doing the work on account OF
the action of the council in refusing
to allow him to use the Poston
Payer brick in the work, but he
did not state that this interior
ence had in any way prevented
the contractor from putting in the curb
or the concrete foundation for the
street. Not bit of work has been done
toward the carrying out of the contract
more than the shipping of a couple of
ears of brick into the city. The brick
has not been tested by the street as
sessment committee but Contractor
Wade was assured by the council that it
would be tested.
Mayor Head showed unwillingness to
permit any debate of the question after
the action of the council and limited
Attorney Baker in stating the case of
the contractor. The mayor evidently
was of the opinion that if the city YVES
to fight the contractor the courts and
not the floor of the council was the
place to begin and finish the battle.
In resembling the Wade contract the
council took the only steps which APP
peared to lead to the completion of the
pavement this fall. The property own
ers had demanded the use of Barr brick
in the paving of the street and the con
tractor had offered this brick and had
then declined to furnish it. Nothing
was done to bar Mr.. Wade from bid
ding on the contract at the new letting,
but if any contract is made with him
an effort will be made to draw ons
that contains no loop hole.

A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.
Henry L. Southwick Reads Richard
the Third" at the Coliseum Monday.

Only the highest praise has been
heard for the entertainment given at
the Coliseum last evening, when Henry
L. Southwick of Boston, read Shakes
peare's Richard III. The size of the
audience gave proof of the belief
that there are in Kenosha large
number who, in this age Of the moving
picture and the modern problem play,
still enjoy the classical drama.
AS was expected from an artist of
his rank, the reading was of high
order. To the pupils of the high school,
who have been studying the play, it
was marvellous revelation of the
characters protrayed by the great
dramatist, which characters are, as
the speaker showed in his Introductory
remarks, as much the creation of
Shakespeare imagination as of act
ual history.
To all, the reading was an impress
SlVe eAnloltloh Oh the powers u
great actor whose art is supported by
broad historical knowledge, and rare
literary appreciation, The high school
is deserving of much credit in bring
ing man of Mr.. Southwick s ability
and standing to Kenosha.
The program was opened by the
teachers quartette, consisting of Miss
Nelson, Miss Evans, Miss Truax and
Miss Cameron, who gave two delight
full selections. This quartette is fast
winning favor and appreciation, and
is deserving of the warm applause
they received.

LEASED TO MILWAUKEE CO.
United Amusement Company Secure 10
Year Lease on New Building Which
will be Built with a View of Use for
Either Pictures Or Vaudeville

The southwest side of the city is to
have new theatre as this morning
Walter NJ. Burke signed contracts for
the erection of a new show house on
the north side of Elizabeth street just
west of Rowland avenue. The theatre
will be a one story building of brick
and fire proof material and it will be
completed at cost of a little over
1000. The building is built with
the understanding that it will be oc-
cupied by the United Amusement Com
pany of Milwaukee, theatrical or
ganization controlling theatres in sew
eral cities Of the state as well as in
Milwaukee. This company has taken.
a ten year lease on the building and
under this lease the theatre is to be
ready for occupancy by the first day
Of August. The theatre will be 80 by
124 feet and it will have seating
capacity Of seven hundred people in
the auditorium. Provision will be
made for tie building of gallery
should an increased seating capacity
be demanded. The theatre will be
fully equipped with a stage and dress
ing rooms. It is the plan Of the COM
pany holding the lease to use it as a
moving picture theatre when it is
opened, but it is possible that later it
will be used as vaudeville theatre.
The plans provide for modern theatre
building in every way and Mr.. Burke
declares that it will be a notable ad-
dition to the amusement places of
the city.
The Milwaukee company has for
some time been interested in Kenosha
moving picture houses and it holds
the lease on the Lyric Theatre on the
southwest side. 1t is possible that this
little theatre will be closed after the
new building is completed, but the
company may decide to continue the
operation of both of the houses. The
demand for the "movies' is univer
sal and it is claimed that the neigh
borhood picture theatres erected in
other cities have been doing notable
business and bringing many dollars in
to the pockets of the managers. There
seems to be no let up in the popularity
Of the picture shows and it is claimed
that in many cities the demand for
picture shows is driving the legitimate
theatrical companies out Of business.

WILL ESCAPE TAX.
Estate of John Lynch who Disappeared
Many Years Ago Will not Pay Tax

One estate in Kenosha county is to
escape the payment of the state in
heritance tax as thus morning Judge.
Taylor in the county court held that a
state inheritance tax was not properly
collectable against the estate of John
Lynch. The man was declared legally
dead by the court and there is consid-
cradle doubt as TO the time of his death
but the court holds that the presump-
tIon was that he died seven years be-
fore the petition was fled and that un-
der this ruling the estate would not be
subject to the tax. The state is not
sustaining a heavy loss by the ruling.
The estate of Lynch is shown by the
final account of the executor to have
amounted to $32S5.10, and after the le-
gal exemptions have been made the
amount of tax as computed would be
just twelve cents. The final account
in the estate will be heard at the Sep
TENDER term of the court.

We never open days mail with
out being informed that there is a
tremendous popular demand for some
thing or other that we have been re-
garding as quite negligible. If we
believed all the letters and circulars
we should have to imagine the entire
population of the United States as
sembled in perpetual mass meeting,
formulating demands; but we do not
believe them.
For instance, we do not believe
there is any popular demand for one
cent letter postage. Why should there
be8 About one-third of all the let
ters in the country are sent from the
six largest cities. Some big city bust
nesses- especially mail order houses,
publishers, department stores, sub
scription book concerns-might reap a
benefit from reduced letter postage;
but the postofiee department even now
barely self sustaining, If letter
postage were cut in half it would be
necessary to increase rates on other
classes of mail, which increase would
be borne by the public, or there would
be big deficit in postal revenues,
which deficit would be paid by the
public. Postal rates in the United
States now are the cheapest in the
world when distances are considered.
The rural per capita expenditure for
letter postage is about fifty cents a
year. Reading and writing go to-
gether. The rural household into
which little second class mail goes is
one out of which little first class mail
comes. A saving of twenty-five cents
in letter postage would be more than
offset by an increase on second class
mail and merchandise. Some book
sellers have long had mistaken no
tion that if magazines could be made
more expensive through increased
postage, more books would be sold;
but any increased cost of magazines
through higher postage would fall up
ON the consumer, without affecting the
book trade. Saturday Evening Post

LITTLE GIRL KILLED
Katherine Gleason II Years
of Age Meets Death in
Bristol on Sunday.
RIFLE ACCIDENTALLY FIRED

. One of the saddest accidents ever
known in the town Of Bristol took
place late Sunday afternoon when
Katherine Gleason, the twelve year old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Gleason, was shot and killed by her
little brother. The little girl was shot
through the heart by the accidental
discharge of an automatic twenty two
calibre rife.
Just after four clock Sunday af-
ternoon Mr.. Gleason had started to go
to the pasture of the farm to drive up
the cows for the evening and his
daughter had gone with him. The lit
tie boy, only four years of age, crawl
ed up into the back part of the spring
wagon. The rife had been placed in
the wagon some time before and the
father had not known that it was there
until after the start for the pasture
had been made. The little boy had
taken up the rife without the knowl-
edge of the father. Katherine was sit
ting on the seat of the wagon watch
ing her little brother, She called to
her father that the child was playing
with the rifle and just as the father
stopped the horse to take the rifle
away from the child it was exploded.
The bullet pierced the heart of the
little girl. She was carried to the
house and DR.. A. j. Lowe of Pleasant
Prairie, called but she died within a
few minutes after the shooting and
she had been dead for some time when
the doctor arrived.
Coroner H. c. Millager was at once
notified Of the accident and he went
at once to the Gleason home and made
an investigation. The story Of the
father was sufficient in the belief of
the coroner and he did not call a jury,
but signed the death certificate, giving
the. cause Of the death as acciden-
tai. /" The little boy who had been
the cause of the tragedy was heart
broken. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Gleason
were hysterical following the death of
the little girl
The Gleason family is prominent in
the southern part of the town Of Bris-
toll and little Katherine was a great
favorite with the people in that neigh
borhood. Her tragic death on Sunday
afternoon has cast pail over the en-
tire neighborhood.
