ths,t it looked more like smallpox. =
"All of the seven members of the
Stein family have been vaccinated
and they are isolated and the depart
ment is in close touch with every
move made There is absolutely no
cause for am one to become alarmed
IF it is & case of smallpox it is prob
able that Stein contracted the disease
from some person coming from another
city to work at the factory. Several
men have been In his department for
only few days and it is possible that
any one Of these brought the disease
The men who worked with Stein are
being vaccinated this afternoon and I
do not anticipate any spread of the
disease.
The Kenosha health commissioner
took all of these precautions before
the coming of DR.. Stoddard and his
actions were all confirmed by the
representative of the state board. Of
course the appearance of the disease
in one of the most densely populated
districts of the city will cause some
alarm, but the care of the Stein
family and of the health department
is certain to make almost impossible
any spread Of the disease.

WILL HEAR PROPERTY OWNERS
City Must Get the Consent of Major
ity of the Owners of Dock Property
Before Government Will Make Any
Changes III Existing Harbor Lines.

The United States government will
not interpose any serious objections
to the plans that have been made for
the Strengthening of Main street as
on Monday afternoon Mayor Dan 0.
Head received letter from the secre-
tary of war in which it was stated
that the plans for the Strengthening
Of the street and the changing of the
location of the Main street bridge had
been carefully examined by the gov
eminent officials and that no serious
objection was found to them. The
moving of the bridge will demand
changes in the lines of the harbor as
established by the government and the
mayor was advised that before these
lines could be changed it would be
necessary for the city to secure the
consent Of a majority of the. property
holders owning land abutting the har-
Dor. Before the government finally
passes on the proposed changes it will
be necessary to have new plat of
the harbor lines made and this plat
will receive the sanction of the gov
eminent. The secretary of war in
sists that the removal of tle bridge
must be done in a manner to insure
the free use of the harbor for
navigation.
The question of changing the loca
tion Of the bridge has been taken up
with number Of the owners of dock
property and it is said that the n. R.
Allen IS Sons Company has consented
to the changes being made with the
understanding that it will accept dock
property now covered by the bridge in
return to the property to be taken
for the new location of the bridge.
The Allen company owns nearly
half of the dock property affected by
the proposed change in the lines.
Other companies interested are the

FRANK STEIN IS The PATIENT
Well known Employee of Simmons Com
pany Thought to be I'll with Dread
Disease at Home on Park Avenue
Local Health Commissioner Acts.

The first quarantine for smallpox in
Kenosha In many years was establish
ed this morning by Commissioners of
Public Health John j. McShane at
703 Park avenue, where Frank Stein,
well known employee of the Simmons
Manufacturing Company, "a years of
age, is thought to be suffering from
the disease. All members of the Stein
family who have been exposed to the
disease are under the strictest posi-
Bile quarantine and Dr. McShane this
afternoon ordered for the city $50
vaccine points to be used in the vacci-
nation of the employees of the Sim
mons company who have been work
ing with Stein. The patient was taken
i'll several days ago and DR.. G. H.
Beemer, who attended him, at once re-
ported the case to the health depart
ment as a suspicious case.
DR.. McShane was unwilling to take
a chance and he at once ordered the
house closed up on last Saturday but
the smallpox signs were not put up
until this morning. This morning DR..
Stoddard of Milwaukee, one of the
representatives of the state board of
health, came to the city and he made
careful examination Of the case and
found it was so close to the border
line between smallpox and chickenpox
that he held that the city department
should quarantine for smallpox.
The members of the Stein family
showed every willingness to comply
with every order Of the health com
missioner and the house had been care
fully isolated since last Saturday
morning when a question as to the
case was raised ~ am not at all
convinced that Mr.. Stein is suffering
from smallpox said DR.. McShane

case of chicken pox, but the disagno

The $4,000, more or less, fourth class
postmasters who believed themselves
safe in their jobs Notwithstanding the
change in administration because they
were "under the civil service had a
rude shock when they read the execu
tive order requiring all of them who
wish to retain their positions to take
the civil service examina tions and there
is suspicion that this examination order
is the first step in ousting them from
their jobs. With the old political war
horses holding offices, who have always
believed that to the victors belong the

tainty and most Of them would prefer

ders the double killing battling mys-
tery 10 the authorities is brought 10

When the bodies were discovered near

heard the woman's scream and the shots.
but who old not see the shooting. IL was
believed from the clrcumstantial evidence
that Nichols had killed the woman and
then committed suicide This verdict
would probably have remained unchanged
but for an autopsy on the body OF Nich-
OILS. made At the request OF T. G. Wll-
son, an old friend OF Nichols.
The autopsy performed today domon-
srated. according 10 the attending phy~
sicians. that II was virtually impossible
Tor Nichols TO have shot himself, in
lictlng the wounds found. one shot pass
ing through the heart. the other two
close TO that organ, the weapon used be-
Ing a i6-cal!ber single action revolver.
II was evident that as Nichols lay on
body and into the ground There were
no powder marks on his clothing. as II
seems certain there would have been had
ne fired the shots himself.
The conclusion OF tho official finding
OF the physicians reads:
Because OF tho shock that must
have accompanied each shot from a
45-caliber, ten-lnch barrel gun. as
well as the absence OF powder marks,
it would seem almost beyond the
realm OF possibility that the wounds
could be self-intlicted.

Examination OF the body Of Mrs

shot twice. one bullet passing through
the heart, the other inf1icting a wound
in the right breast Powder marks on
her clothing over the wounds and
round the woman's neck indicated that
the shots were fired at close range. Her

feet that Nichols had never owned or
