DIPLOMATS LAUGH At
BRyANS CHINA SCHEME
Few. if Any. Powers Expected
to Join United States in
Recognizing Republic.
SECRETARY is IN A HURRY
Wants to Act by April 8, When
Chinese Convention Meets,
and Hopes Government
Will Not Stand Alone.

! Washington. April 3.-Further in
curry among diplomats in Washington
supports the intimation. made in these
dispatches this morning. that few. If
any. OF them are likely TO respond with
any degree Of cordially to Secretary
Bryan's invitation 10 join the United
States i'm the recognition Of the Chinese
Republic. which was announced OK
clusivoly i'm The Tribune.
! All the diplomatic representatives, in
vited TO Mr. Bryan's Office replied po-
litely and -committally that they
would take pleasure in submitting his
unique proposal 10 their respective
governments. but it is impossible to
find any one Of them who expects his
government will reply in accordance
with Nh Bryan's desire.
/ Amusement was expressed in the De
partmcnt OF State to-day that The
Tribune should have been able 10 an
nouuce the proposal which the Score
tary submitted TO the diplomats ycster-
day. and should have learned the att
tude of the foreign representatives
toward the proposition. Mr.. Bryan adj
mittcd that he had not received reply
from any one of those he invited 70

he appeared 10 have been somewhat de-
ccived by the polite reception accorded
his proposal and TO bee still hopeful Of

but Mr.. Bryan fondly hopes that some
at leas; Of the great powers will join

plated.
The impression Of the diplomatic
corps. taken as whole. is that Mr..
Bryan is making himself somewhat
ridiculous. 80 power is likely to raise
the slightest objection TO the pursuit by

think proper. but il IS regarded as diff

Secretary Of State TO bring other
nations into the equation otherwise
than on the hypothesis that he mag
ines that 10y so doing he can establish
the position OF this country as more

COURT TERMS CHANGE
New State Law Hits Old
Court Traditions in Keno
sha County Circuit Court
NO JUNE TERM IN The FUTURE

Judge Belden is now holding the
concluding sessions of the last official
June term of the circuit court for
Kanosha county for the new law pass
ed by the state legislature to provide
for a new calendar for circuit courts
of the state has eliminated June terms
for Kenosha in the future.
This does not necessarily mean
that we will not hold court in Kenosha
county in June in the future" said
Judge Belden this morning. The
new law has simply provided for two
terms in a year and the June term will
be merged into the March term. The
cases which are left over at the end
of the March term will be taken up
as at present in June and the new law
will not make a great deal of differ
ence so far as the summer term of the
court is concerned. y
The June term is not the only one
to be hit by the new law. The old
time September term of the court is
taken away entirely and instead of it
Kenosha county in the future will have
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1913-06-19

an October term of the circuit court.
The September term is tradition
among the lawyers. and to many of
them it has been something of a night
mare. Often cases were called in Sep
TENDER when the weather was so hot
that attorneys sweltered trying cases
in the court. Under the law now in
effect the fall term IN Kenosha county
will be held in the latter part of Oc-
tober, the law providing that the term
begin on the second Monday in Octo-
Der. This will remove the hearing Of
the eases almost entirely out Of the
heated season and past the annual fall
fair season so that there will be moth
ing to delay the eases when the term
opens. The change in regard to the
spring term is the advancing of the
opening of the term one week making
it open on the second instead of the
third Monday in March as has been
the rule for years. The changes all
meet with the sanction of the bench
and bar in this county and it is
thought that the program under the
new law viii be a popular one. The
law is now in effect and the next term
of the circuit court for Kenosha
county viii begin on the second Mon
day in October

Leaders of Suffrage Cause
Hope to Get Referendum
In Wisconsin Next Year
SEEK AMENDMENT or new BILL


The woman suffrage question is by
no means settled so far as this legis-
lature IS concerned and there is yet q
possibility that either Gov. McGovern
will have to interpose a second veto or
that there will be a referendum in No
yember of next year on the question as
to whether women shall be allowed to
vote in Wisconsin
The governor himself has placed the
woman suffrage question in issue be-
fore the legislature again. The bill
which was introduced at his behest by
Senator Burke which provides for "a
referendum on the woman suffrage
question in November, 1916, is not the
same bill as a measure providing for
a referendum in 1914, and therefore can
be legally admitted to the legislature.
Once before the legislature, it is
the belief of the friends of woman suf-
frage that nothing can prevent the Of
fering of an amendment to the bill MAX
ing the time for the referendum on the
question of woman suffrage November
OF next year. An amendment to this
effect is to be offered to the bill, and if
by any chance it should be rejected on
a floor ruling that even a amendment
cannot ba offarod which oop4o;nc +bo
same subject matter as bill which has
previously been acted upon by the leg
islature, another amendment will be Of
fered to hold the woman suffrage refer
endum at the time of the judicial cleo
tion next year.
The friends Of woman suffrage claim,
too, that they will muster enough votes
to put the measure through the legis-
lature with a referendum fixed for next
year.
In fact, the woman suffrage forces
are well organized for the battle and
there is more than an even chance that
there will be forwarded to the COVER
nor a second time bill which pro-
videsi for referendum next year on
the subject of woman suffrage.
The woman suffrage people have
been keeping quiet in regard to their
plans and did not intend they should
become public until next week. The
situation, in the fight, however, de-
veloped to such an extent Friday and

A patron Of the street railway COM
pany advances the theory that the small
new cars just put into service on the
local lines are the ones promised four
years ago and that they were better
adapted to meet traffic conditions then
than they are now. It will be remem-
bered that the officers of the company
as long ago as that assured the members
Of the council that new equipment had
been ordered" and was to be put in
30 service Immediately" Although
the present management of the street
railway company cannot be held &C
countable for the shortcomings of its
predecessors, the railway officials can
not blame the city authorities with past
experiences in mind for not being par
ticularly prone to rely on promises made
to them by the managers OF the public
utilities.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1913-06-19

The railroad commission has set
July 2nd this time as the date for the
hearing Of the complaints of the city
of Kenosha and the city officials are
hopeful that there will be no disap,
pointment this time. 1t is needless to
state that they have been ready with
their case since the first date was set
by the commission. Some of the pleas
made and the evidence presented by
the city win lose force because of the
continued delays in the hearing on ac-
count of the fact that some Of the
matters on which the complaints Of the
city of insufficient service were based
have been to considerable extent
remedied by the public service cor
porations in the past few weeks, but
it will be good policy for the city to
carry out the hearing ON behalf of the
city as originally planned. 1t cannot
be denied and there is no disposition
On the part Of the city to deny that
the service furnished has been improv-
ed in the interval between the fling
Of the complaint and the time of the
hearing, but-and it is a very big but
the city has no guaranty Of the per-
manance of the Improvement. In the
light of previous experiences with the
public utilities it would be lot safer
TO have an order from the commission
covering the service that the city
must have. TIE city did not make
these complaints until it was forced to
and it can lose nothing by carrying
out the original plans made for putting
the local situation up to the commits
sion.

MRS. WooLLEY GETS DIVORCE.
Prominent Woman Formerly Well
Known Here, Granted Decree in Paris.


Members Of the older families of
Kenosha were greatly interested today
in 4 report from Paris, France, that
Mrs. Harriet Hale Woolley, very promi-
nent In Chicago and one time a resident
Of Kenosha, had been divorced from
her husband, Clarence M. Woolley, in
Paris. Nothing had been known among
tho friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Woolley
of any recent difficulties and the an
nouncement that divorce had been
granted to the wife caused stir in
Chicago society. Mrs. Woolley was
formerly Harriet Hale, a granddaugh-
ter of Samuel Hale, one of the best
known Of the pionee residents of Ke-
nosha. After her marriage to Mr..
Woolley she resided in Chicago and for
years she had occupied commanding
place in the social and musical life
of Chicago.
The Woolieys were members Of many
of the well known clubs in and about
Chicago and they have been much in
the public eye on account of their en-
tertainments. Mrs. Woolley is now
said to be at the home of her sister,
who resides in Italy.
