is FREED AFTER Is YEARS
Immigrant Woman Wins Long Fight
for Freedom of Her innocent
Spouse.

The ffteen-year fight of a wife for
the freedom of her convict husband
was told by Joseph Ellins. who was
pardoned last month by Governor
Deneen after serving fifteen years for
a murder which he maintains he never
committed. At the time of the trial
Ellins, a resident of the country for
only a year and ignorant of the laws,
was induced to plead guilty through
an interpreter. He had saved enough
to pay his wife's passage to America
and she was on the way to join him
when he was sent to prison.
Thomas Sheehan, a farmer living
near Heenanyille, then a prosperous
mining camp, was the man who was
slain. He had penned up a few hogs
running at large and owned by Slavish
residents. This led to a saloon brawl
between Sheehan and number of the
angry owners, in which Sheehan,
when attacked, shot Ellins through
the cheek. Sheehan was chased into
a field and so severely. beaten that
he died.
Ellins was arrested with others and
advised by them to plead guilty.
When sentenced he insisted he had
not taken part in the attack outside
the saloon
Mrs. Ellins on her arrival obtained
work wherever she could and began
the long fight for her husbands free
dom, using every effort to enlist the
aid of others.

MAY NOT CALL JURY.
Few Cases Slated to be Tried at Com
ing April Term of Municipal Court.

1t is beginning to look as if the
April term of the municipal court will
be all shot to pieces this year. The
term is scheduled TO begin on next
Monday morning but as yet the jury
has not been summoned and Judge
Randall declared today that there was
little reason to believe that formal
summons would be issued. There is
but one criminal case for trial and the
principal witness for the state in this
case has disappeared. There are a
number of old abandonment cases on
the calendar, but all Of the defendants
are on their good behavior and these
cases will not be called. There are
but three civil cases noted for trial
and it is probable that all Of these
will go over until the summer term Of
the court.

Over Alps by Automobile.

It will soon be possible for the
tourist to go over the Alps by auto
mobile. All the details have been ar
ranged for the establishment Of an
electric stage service, the amount IN
Volved in the purchase of equipment
and material and in good improve
ment being about a half million dol
lars. The line runs from Airolo by
way of the Bedretto valley and the
Nufner pass, ending at Ulrichen, in
the Valais region, with q total length
Of twenty-five miles Considerable
work will need to be done in enlarg-
ing the routes SO as to make them
suitable for automobile traffic, and a
bridge is to be built over the Tessin
river. The new electric automobiles
have capacity for twenty-five passen-
gers and make the trip in two and
one-quarter hours. on ordinary and
one and quarters on express
service; running twelve to twenty.
two miles an hour. Three trips will
be made per day in each direction,
during all seasons when there is nc
snow on the roads.

MEEaE NEW TROUBLE.
Railway Company to be Forced to Sc
cure Vacation of Alley for New Barn.

Railway Company to be Forced to Sc
cure Vacation of Alley for New Barn.
The Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light Company has met with new de-
lay in its. effort to build a car barn
and terminal station at the corner of
Garden street and Ashland avenue and
today it IS declared that property own
ers in the neighborhood are elamoring
for an injunction to prevent the COM
pany closing up an alley to the barn
side. The alley is not plated on the
city map, but old deeds to the proper
ty made strict provisions for an alley
running into the property seventy feet
east Of Ashland avenue. If the COM
pany is forced to open this alley all
plans that have been made for the
erection Of the terminal station and
car barns will have to be changed.
The company is planning on an expen-
diture of $4,000 for the plant and it.
is probable that they will at once ask
the council to take some action to va
cate the alley. At that there are grave
doubts as to whether such move
would be successful or not.

FRUIT BOUQUETS FOR EATING
Edible Nosegays Take Place of Flow
ers at Many Social Functions
in New York.

Fruit bouquets are replacing those
composed of flowers at society func-
tions in New York. They are arrang-
ed in the old-time nosegay shape, the
different colors in circles, and the
whole framed in or mounted on white
lace paper. These fruit bouquets are
used at luncheon and dinner parties;
a bouquet is usually provided for
each guest. Small bouquets of nuts
and raisins are also placed by the
side of each guests plate.
An attractive arrangement of small
fruits includes red apples with tiny
comfits. The apples are placed in
the center and formed into pyra-
mid, and the comfits are arranged
round them in two or three circles.
Two kinds of grapes, the clear, dark
red and pale green translucent varie-
ties, make a most attractive bouquet
The bouquets are, Of course, frequent
ly eaten.

The circuit court is still busy hear
ing the evidence in the suit of Frank
johnson vs.. The Simmons Manufactur-
ing Company, on demand for dam
ages to the amount Of $4,000 for per-

clared today that the plaintiff will not

Dining With. George.


Horace Binney, the famous Philadel-
phia lawyer, used to- tell story of
how when boy he dined with Presi-
dent Washington. The executive man
sion in this city was on the south side
Of Market street, between Fifth and
Sixth. Mrs Washington's grandson
lived with his, most august grand
parents, and he was a playfellow of
young Binney; who resided on Market
street, just opposite the stately home
of the president. One evening Binney
was asked to remain to dinner, Gen
eral and Mrs. Washington and the
young grandson being the others, pres
ent. The future great lawyer said that
during the entire meal not a single
word was uttered by either President
or Mrs. Washington, while he set in
silent awe of the grandeur, and espe-
cially the commanding personality CT
the father of his country. Philadel-
phia Ledger.

jury TRIALS IN The WAY
Court Declares That All the Time Nee
essary to Hear Important Cases will
be Available After Monday Morning
Commission May Render Decision.

The hearing Of the railway cases
got another delay this morning when
Judge Belden was forced on account
of the press of jury trials to make an
other adjournment Of the hearing, both
ON the petition for condemnation and
on the suit brought by the property
owners to restrain the Milwaukee com
pany from operating cars on Milwau-
kee avenue.
cit is very distasteful to me to be
forced to adjourn this hearing which
had been set for Friday said Judge
Belden today, "but the matter is one
of such Importance and so many people
are interested in the hearing of it
that it would be unfair to take it up
on Friday with possible interruption
of the hearing by a jury trial. It will
not be possible to clear the jury cal
endar by Friday morning. However,
the matter must come up on Monday
morning. / have directed the clerk to
notify all persons interested that we
will take up both Of these matters on
Monday morning and by that time /
expect the calendar will be in such
shape that we can give all the time re-
CURED for such an important case
The property owners are planning to
make a determined objection to the
proposed condemnation proceedings
and the attorneys for the company
have prepared extensive briefs to show
that this is the real remedy that the
company has a right to demand under
the law. The attorneys for the com
time in the trial of the suit for in
junction if the petition for condemna-
ton meets with favorable action from
the court.
It is just possible that between now
and next Monday morning the state
railroad commission will hand down
some formal ordef in regard to the
stopping of the cars on Milwaukee
avenue. The work of the commission
is now being cleaned up and recently
the commission has handed down deci-
sions of complaints which were heard
at the same time as the complaint of
the city In regard to the operation Of
cars on Milwaukee avenue. The com
mission has notified the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric Railway Company
to make changes in some of the cross
ings in Racine county and it is ex-
pected that similar orders will be is
sued in regard to country roads cross
ed by the company in this county.
If the commission hands down a de-
cision directing the company to stop
cars at frequent intervals it is thought
that the carrying out Of the order will
do much to relieve the streets of con-
ditions here, but it is pretty certain
that the property owners will insist
that the suit brought be continued with
a view of establishing the rights of
the property owners in case of future
controversies.
The property owners have fully or
gained now and their fighting blood
is up and they have declared that if
necessary the action will be taken to
the supreme court of the state. 1t. is
possible that their objections to the
condemnations win be made the basis
for long court fight.

Towns Must Expend $500
on Single Roads in Or
der to Claim State Aid.
MUST CONTINUE WORK

All townships voting state aid for
highways must expend at least $500
on every piece of road built under the
state aid law in order to secure their
proportion from tn. state, according
to ruling Of the state highway com
mission which has just been received
by the various town. clerks.
The commission S reason for such
an action is to obtain greater economy
in the construction of state aid high
ways. That the order may work some
inconvenience to the various townships
is at once plain to the supervisors, as
it has been the practice in the past to
divide the appropriation into two or
las many different pieces of road. Thus
in the case Of a town which votes to
raise 5000 to build two separate strips
of road, with the equal appropriations
from the county and state there would
be 5000 for each piece of construction.
But according to the commission there
shall be no state aid given where the
town does not contribute at least $500
which would preclude any such ar
fangement as outlined above.
In some towns a vote was taken at
their town meeting providing where
3
the money should be expended. This
was done for the roads to be built dur
ing the coming season at the town
meeting of 1912, but the commission has
declared that their ruling shall be eff
fective this year and next, which will
mean that the towns will find it neces-
sary to make an amendment to con
form with the order.
The letter as sent out reads in
part as follows:
( cat meeting held March 20, this
commission unanimously voted not to
give state aid in 1913 and 1914 to any
piece of road surfaced with concrete,
SbOu6 SJdNGl SAd1O3 IOI WuOSO lIl-
provement less than $500 has been pro-
videG by the town. 1t will therefore
be necessary, if the town last spring
divided its appropriation for 1913 in
to amounts less than $500 for any piece
of surfacing work, to redistribute the
money in accordance with the above
and to observe strictly the same rule
as to appropriation for 1914. This rule
was made by the commission in the ins
terest of economy in construction and
in accordance with the intent Of the
state aid law and must be complied
with
The commission also calls attention
to the fact that the state will pay its
full one-third of the highway money
this year to the various districts and
one-ffth of the bridge money accord
ing to a special act of the legislature
making such a provision.

PEOPLE DEMAND ACTION.
Delay in Building Sewers or west Side
Arouses Property Owners.

People residing in recently annexed
portions of the city to the west of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Railway, are
making a concerted attack on the al
dermen demanding the completion of
the sewers in this part of the city. In
most cases the contracts for these sew
ers were let more than year ago and
the property owners allege that there
has been unnecessary delay, The city
engineer today declared that these
sewers had been held back for the com
pletion of the sewer on Charles street
and that with this work completed it
would be possible for the contractors
to proceed at once with the building
Of auxiliary sewers. It is probable
that the work on the sewers on both
the north and south end of Superior
street will be stated within week.

MUST SHOW GOOD REPUTE
License Committee of the Council Elk
pected to Begin Investigation of the
Probable Applicants at once-H Health
Department to Examine Saloons.

Licenses for saloons in Kenosha for
the new year win not be issued by
the council until the last Monday in
June, but already the members of the
council have begun to make an in
vestigation of the men now in the
business in the city and between now
and the time that the saloon men file
applications for licenses an investiga-
tion will be made of every saloon in
the city and every man who seeks a
license will be investigated.
Mayor Head has already announced
that he will retain Alderman August
Kisten at the head of the license COM
mittee for another year and this fact
gives the assurance that the licenses
will be recommended only after great
care. Leading saloon men of the city
have declared their confidence in Al
derman Kisten as head of the license
committee and these men have openly
declared themselves favorable to the
rather vigorous action taken by the
alderman of the fifth ward to get rid
of Objectionable saloons in Kenosha.
1t is admitted that there are some
ten men in the business in the city at
the present time who have failed to
operate their places in keeping with
the rules laid down by the council
Some of these men have permitted
gambling in the places and others have
permitted the saloons to be the resort
of women of questionable character.
These men will be brought upon the
carpet before the new licenses are is
sued and will be forced to give the
aldermen some assurances that they
will reform their methods before new
licenses are issued to them. It is de-
clared that several places in the city
regarded as unfit for use as saloons
will receive early notification that
members Of the committee will not
recommend the renewal of licenses un-
der present conditions.
Before the applications for licenses
are passed on this year the board of
health will be asked to make an in
vestigation of all buildings in the city
used for saloon purposes and it is ex-
pected that the board will demand
many changes in the places.
A test of the strength of the coun-
ell as to the maintenance of clean
saloons will come on next Friday even
ing when the members of the council
will act on the revocation of the IL
cense Of two saloons. One of them is
located on Milwaukee avenue just
south of Union Park, while the other
is the saloon owned by Mike Hollow
ski on North Main street. Both places
have been closed FOR more than two
weeks pending the action of the coun-
Gil. The owners Of both places have
retained attorneys and it is expected
that hard fight will be made to re-
tain the licenses. Alderman Kisten
has declared that he will insist on the
revocation of both licenses.

ASSESSOR TO MAKE RETURNS
People who Failed to File Statements
Will be Forced to Appear Before the
Board of Review-Increase in amount
Of Income Tax Expected This Year.

There were many Kenosha people
delinquent today when assessor Of In
comes, Joseph E. Dalton, closed up his
books for the new assessment. Sew
eral hundred Of the peopl to whom the
income assessment blanks had been
sent failed to return them and all OF
these people will be subject to an as
sessment made by the assessor and
they will have little chance to protest
against it. The work of making these
assessments will be started on We'd
nesday and the assessments will not
be made public until next fall when
the records are returned from Madison.
The corporations in Kenosha all COM
piled with the law and forwarded
statements of their income for 1912 to
the state tax commission before the
first day of March. The individual
statements were due today and they
will at once be forwarded to the state
statements filed this year will be com
pared with the statements Of year
ago and if the commission sees any
chance for error in the new state
ments it is probable that they will be
promptly returned to the taxpayers
for correction. -aau
The list Of assessments made by the
commission will not be made public I'M
til some time in September and no
formal notice Of the assessments will
be sent to the people who are to pay
the taxes. The list will be filed with
the county clerk and the taxpayers are
expected to go there and examine the
list. Before the list is finally passed
upon the board of review for the
county will be in session for from ten
to twenty days to hear objections to
to the tax assessed.
1t is expected that, the amount of
the income tax collected in Kenosha
this year will be considerably larger
than last year. A systematic search
has been made by the assessor and
many new names have been placed on
the income tax roll
This year the actual cash received
by the city from the collection of the
income tax was a little over $4,000
The amount had been estimated at
$4,000 by the finance committee and
the difference represents the amount
of the tax uncollected. Of course it
is expected that much of this money
will still be collected. Some of the
people of Kenosha promise to increase
their personal property assessments in
the city this year with view of hay
ing the money left in, the. city instead
of a portion of it being paid to the
state. 1t is just possible that the state
tax commission will make a ruling
which will make it possible for the
city to receive larger proportion of
the tax collected.
1t has been proposed to give the col
lecting district ninety per cent. of the
tax with five per. cent going to the
state and the same amount to the
county.
