WATER FOR CITY CEMETERY.
Board of Water Commissioners Decide
to Aid Cemetery Ass II. at Meeting.

Board of Water Commissioners Decide
to Aid Cemetery Ass II. at Meeting.
The Board of Water Commissioners
at its regular meeting on Thursday
evening voted to accept the proposition
of the Kenosha Cemetery Association
to extend water mains into all parts of
the city cemetery. Already mains have
been run through the cemetery and
with small pipe it is figured that the
water can be carried to every corner
of the cemetery at cost not to exceed
$500. The proposition of the Cemetery
association is to guarantee the commits
sion water rents equal to an eight per
cent interest on the investment. The
water will probably be extended to the
cemetery during the winter months and
it will be of great value il keeping the
cemetery in shape next season. No
other business of public interest was
taken up at the meeting of the commits
sion.

AN OLD RESIDENT OF CITY
Deceased is Supposed to Have Been on
His Way to the Home Of His Sister
When Struck by Train Death Causes
Sensation on North Side of the City.

The entire north side Of the city was
shocked late Monday afternoon when
it became known that the man who had
been literally ground to pieces under
the North Western train at Middle
street earlier in the afternoon was
Philip Maurice, one Of the best known
residents of that section of the city.
Mr.. Maurice had left home just after
eleven O'Clock and he did not return
for dinner and after waiting until after
two clock the members of his fam
lily instituted a search for him. It was
known that he had spent part Of the
morning with his brother, Peter Maui
rice, manager for the Fortune Bros.
Brewing company, and members of the
family called up tb brother and asked
him to aid in the search An hour after
the mangled remains OF Maurice had
been picked up along the tracks, his
brother heard of the accident and think
ing it possible that the dead man might
be his brother, he hurried to the Han
sen morgue and notwithsta ding the
fact that the body was terribly man
gled, he was able to satisfy himself of
the identity.
Friends Of Mr.. Maurice can not ac-
count for his DEATH Half an hour be-
fore he met death on the tracks he had
been at the Quandt barber shop. He
had his hair cut and was shaved and
then left the shop and started west on
Middle street. He had planned to go
to the home of sister on West Middle
street to get some chickens and it is
supposed that he was on his way to her
home at the time the accident occurred.
The deceased was widely known in
Kenosha. He was son Of the late
Frank Maurice and was born in Racine
county, Dec. Ii, 1852. He came to Ke,
nosha as a young man and for MAN.
years was employed as a teamster in
the yards Of the Kenosha Lumber com
pany. He took great interest in the
political life of the city and at the
last city election he was candidate
for the Office Of alderman in the Sew
enth ward. He was one of the Oldest
members of the Heiss Court of the
Catholic Order of Foresters and had
taken an active part in. the work of
this order in Kenosha. He is survived
by his widow and one adopted daugh-
ter.

The leaders among the foreign born
residents off the city should second the
efforts Of Clerk Of the Circuit Court
DeDeimar to inform the aliens who
made their declaration Of intention to
become citizens prior to September
9th, 1906, that their right to file their
applications for second papers under
this declaration expires the same cate
this month. If they fail to make APP
plication for second papers before the
9th they must make a new declara-
tion of their intention to become citi-
zens and wait two years before APP
plying for their second papers.
While che great majority of these ORR
ginal declarations were made at the
behest Of politicians and were made
merely FOR the purpose Of securing the
right to vote, there must be many men
amolg those making them who would
now be desirable citizens and who f,ll-
~ intend to take out their second
papers and these men should not be
allowed to lose any Of their rights
through ignorance Of the law. Not
much stress has been laid on this point
by those who have been expounding the
meaning of the naturalization laws to
the aliens of Kenosha and some of
them are going to be very much dis
appointed when they finally make their
applications unless the warning issued
by the clerk reaches the people for
whom it is intended. The federal
naturalization officials have no au-
thority to waive any of the provisions
Of the law and plea of ignorance
will not be accepted as any excuse for
failure to comply with its provisions.

Harold Peterson Thrown from Bicycle
Struck by Auto has Knee Cap Broken.
Harold Peterson, twenty years of
age and the son Of the owner of Edel-
weiss Park, met with severe injuries
just after noon today when he was
run down by an automobile near the
corner Of South and Main streets.
The automobile was one Of the factory
cars of the Thomas B. Jefery Com
pany. Peterson was riding his bicycle
and was coming west on South street
and the automobile was running south
on Main street. Just as Peterson came
onto Main street the front wheel Of
the bicycle was struck by the automo-
bile. He was thrown to the pave
ment and sustained fracture of the
left knee cap He was taken to the
office of DR.. H. B. Robinson and later
to his home on Lyman avenue. It is
probable that he will be laid UP for
some time as result Of the accident.
People who witnessed the accident de-
clared that it was unavoidable, the
driver Of the car not being able to see
the bicycle until it was too late for
him to stop or turn the automobile

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1918.

The information that this county
need look for no more road money
from the state than its apportionment
of the regular appropriation amount
ing in all to a little under $4,000
comes as a rude shock to the good
roads boosters who had been counting
on about seven thousand additional on
the division of the state road money
not claimed by some of the counties,
but there is nothing to do but re-
adjust plans to meet the changed con-
ditions. The new law which permits
towns and villages to claim state aid
for road Improvements within their
own limits is responsible for the dis
appearance of the expected funds.
So many claims have been made under
this law that whatever money is left
in the state aid fund unclaimed by the
counties whose appropriations for
road work have not been large enough
to exhaust their share of the state aid
money Win have to be used to meet
the demands of the villages and towns.
The plans for road work in this
county next summer were figured on a
basis Of shout $4,000 aid from the
state and there will be few people
even those most interested in the i'm
provements who will not now think it
better to neduce the county appropria-
tions and subscriptions to a 100000
basis and wait until the state can
meet its pro rata share.

TO COOPERATE WITH CITY
Commission Seeks to Find All Facts
Possible in Regard to Men Who Are
Wards of the City at the Poor Farm
in the Town of Somers.

Poormaster Jacob Saftig has been
put to work by the Wisconsin Indus
trial Commission and under orders
from the commission the poormaster
is making a census of the inmates at
the Kenosha poor farm. This census
when completed will bare al the secrets
of the Lives of the direlicts who are
now wards of the city at the farm
north of the city limits and it will
give the commission something to
work on in administering the pension
law in this section of the state. This
is the first time that these facts have
been secured in regard to the poor
farm inmates and they promise to be
decidedly interesting.
The report must be made out to COW
er every person admitted to the poor
farm regardless of the time he re-
mains there and the statistics are to
be Of continuing nature. They must
show the name, the number of times
admitted to this or any other aims
house, age and nationality of the per-
son in question. 1t shows the number
in the poorhouse in 1913, the number
of patients who die in the poorhouse
and the many transfers which may be
made to other institutions AS far as
possible the statistics must show the
actions ef the patients after they are
discharged from the institution.
The commission seeks especially to
discover facts in regard to the mar
riage relations of inmates of such in
stitutions. The blanks will show
whether the inmates have been mar
ried or divorced or if they have de-
serted or abandoned their families.
All defects of physical nature in the
inmates must be shown in the report
and if any Of them are suffering from
diseases this must be shown. The re-
port takes up the question of drunk
enness and inmates who are habitual
drunkards must be so listed. In con-
clusion the blank must show the list
of the members of the family of the
inmates and their present residence
and occupation.
1t is thought that this information
will result in the city and state CO.
operating to secure the care of these
unfortunates by members of their
families. 1t is certain that inmates of
the Kenosha poor farm have relatives
who could care for them, but they have
so far refused to make these facts
known. The poormaster expects to
have lot Of trouble in securing the
facts sought by the state, but it is
thought that by examining papers in
the possession Of the paupers that all
the questions may be answered.

Judge Belden Grants Delay
in Effort to Secure Great
Drainage Canal.
WILLIAMS A COMMISSIONER

Circuit Judge E. B.. Belden in Racine
on Monday conducted the Norway-Do-
yer and Root river drainage hearings
in the county court room Of Judge Heck
in the temporary court house. The
chief question raised in the remon-
strances against the proposed work on
the Norway Dover canal is, that the
work as laid out by the commissioner
will not come up to the requirements
of the petition. The claim is that there
will not be sufficient fiowage without
the removal of the Fox river dam at
Rochester. Upon agreement of the at
torneys of both sides the court post
poned the hearing until Oct. is to in
vestigate in the meantime the allega-
tions Of the demonstrators. Attorneys
Hannaford and Browne of Milwaukee,
represented the DIRECTORS and William
D. Thompson appeared as the attorney
for the petitioners.
The Root river drainage hearing was
also postponed until Oct. IS, after a
commission was appointed by Judge
Belden to make an investigation of the
proposed drainage canal. The canal is
practically continuation Of the pres
ent Yorkville- Raymond drainage line,
and is to start at in the middle of Paris
township in Kenosha county and run
north to the Yorkyille- Raymond canal
and terminate near the Racine county
line. The commission appointed by
Judge Belden Monday morning is to go
over the territory to be covered by the
new drainage canal, and then render a
report at the next hearing. There are
large number Of demonstrators who
would not have the new ditch laid, but
none was present in court Monday.
The attorneys for the DIRECTORS decid-
ed to, wait until the commission has
made it report before entering protest.
Palmer and Cuttings represent the op-
posing faction. Attorney Peter Fisher,
Jr., of Kenosha, represented the petit
TONERS. The commissioners appointed
by Judge Belden numbers two from
Racine county and one from Kenosha
county, as follows:
James L English of Norway town
ship, George Beaumont of Dover town
ship, Racine county, and G. E. Williams
of Bristol, Kenosha county.
