Main Street Merchants Ask
Permission to burn Waste
Paper in the Alleys.
WOULD KEEP CITY CLEANER

Main street business men have trou-
bles of their own and on account of
these troubles they are planning to ap-
peal to the council for the amendment
Of the fire district ordinance In order
to get chance to burn waste paper.
Under the present fire regulations waste
paper may not be burned in the down
town districts of the city and the mer-
chants claim that it is impossible to
get men to haul it away and that most
of the waste paper from the stores is
left in boxes until it is blown by the
wind from one end of the street to the
other.
The proposed ordinance would give
the merchants the right to burn this
paper in salamanders approved by the
fire chief and at certain hours of the
day to be set by the chief. If neces-
sary members of the department could
be assigned to keep watch on the
burn ng of the paper and see to it that
there is no danger to buildings.
Zone must have some way to dis
pose Of this rubbish, " said a prominent
merchant in discussing the proposed or
dinance. "Children dig into the waste
paper baskets every day and carry the
paper from one end Of the alley to the
other. 1t is impossible for us to keep
watch all the time to prevent the paper
being scattered. Some Of us have been
burning this refuse in salamanders, but
we have been advised by the officials
that this viii not be permitted in the
future. We believe that careful
handling Of salamanders will offer a
way TO dispose of this rubbish and at
the same time provide for keeping the
city a lot cleaner than it is kept at the
present time.
The proposed ordinance is said to
have the sanction Of the mayor and the
fire chief and with this support it will
hurdle the council at an early
date.

INCOME TAX RETURNS INCREASE
Prof. Adams Predicts Larger Tax from
Individuals and Corporations.

The income tax returns will show de-
cided increases this year, according to
Prof. T. S. Adams of the state tax com
mission. He says that both the amounts
collected from individuals and from
corporations will be in excess of the
maximum amounts collected last year.
In spite of the change in corporation
rate of taxation made by the last ses-
sion of the legislature the returns from
this source will be about the same.
Prof. Adams attributes this increase to
the prosperity of the state last year.
AS the result of the work done by in
come tax assessors he says that Wis
consin has the best assessment of per-
sonal and real estate property of any
state in the union

NO CHANGE EXPECTED HERE
Year Just Closing Notable One in the
History of Park Avenue M. e. Church
Attendance at Beloit Conference is
Expected to Set New Record.

Methodist ministers in charge of a
half dozen churches in Kenosha county
are closing up their work for the year
at present in anticipation of the annual
which is to be held at Beloit beginning
Sept. 8 and continuing to Sept. 10th.
The conference will be the greatest
gathering Of the year for Methodists of
Wisconsin and more than zoo ministers
from the eastern and southern portions
of the state will be in attendance.
Bishop Quayle of Minneapolis who pre-
sided at the annual conference held in
Milwaukee last year will be in charge
of the Beloit gathering of Methodists.
It is expected that the gathering will
be notable from the standpoint of the
laymen of the church and it is expect
ed that more than $50 laymen will at
tend the sessions. Methodists of Be
lott have made elaborate arrangements
for the entertainment of the confer
ence and in this plan especial attention
has been given to the entertain
ment of the lay members of the
churches. At the Beloit conference
several big movements will be inaugur-
ated among the laymen and it is ex-
pected that large delegation of Ke-
MT L, / l.
ference.
While it is expected that there will
be many changes in the appointment
Of pastors of churches in the conference
for the coming year, it is not expected
that there will be any change at the
Kenosha church. The Rev. Peter Stair,
who has been in charge Of the church
for the past two years is very popular
with the members Of the congregation
and an unanimous request will be sent
to the bishop and the district superin-
tendent for his return.
The year just closed has been one of
the most successful in the history of
Park Avenue church. During the year
all branches Of church work have been
strengthened. The new addition to the
church has been completed and this
has brought with it strong social or
CARNATIONS especially among the young
people which have Gone much to in
crease the work done by the congrega-
ton. The report from the Kenosha
church this year will be one of the best
from any church in the conference.
It is possible that some changes will
be made among the ministers in charge
of the village churches in the county,
out all of the churches have had sue
cessful years.

Archbishop Messmer De-
clares Catholic Press Must
Decide on Suffrage Policy
VOICES PERSONAL OPPOSITION

Archbishop Messmer, in an address
before members of the Catholic Press
association in Milwaukee Thursday told
them that they n Ist use their own judg
ment in determining their attitude to-
ward the labor question and woman S
suffrage. Since these are subjects on
which the opinion of churchmen vary,
and since ecclesiastical authority has
taken no absolute stand on either, the
questions are open ones, he said.
f'The question of woman suffrage
consider to be the most important So
cial consideration of the day, - he said.
"I do not know any other social ques-
tion that so deeply affects and con-
Germs the interests Of human society
and of the whole human race. A
Catholic cannot avoid having views on
the subject.
1T personally feel that women were
not intended by the creator to exer-
else suffrage rights. do not think it
was intended by God that women
should have political vote, or that
she should mix in the general affairs
of society in the same way as man.
Their political or social rights are not
the same as those of men. But that
is only personal opinion. would
not come out authoritatively with this
view, because as yet there is no de-
clared position of the church toward
this movement. 1 believe that if Catho-
lie theologians would take up the ques-
tion they would find that tradition
would support them against giving
women equal rights with men. But in
the meantime you must be guided by
individual judgment and liberation"

Taxi Cab and Touring Car
Collide at South and Ash
land Avenue Thursday.
BOTH CARS BADLY SMASHED

An automobile collision took place
at the corner Of South street and
Ashland avenue just after six O'Clock
Thursday evening in which two ears
were badly damaged but which for
tunately resulted in no one being ser
iously injured. The damaged cars were
seven passenger car belonging to w.
W. Vincent, President of the Vincent
Award Company and taxicab owned
by the Wahlberg & Nelson Company.
Vincent was driving his car north on
Ashland avenue and the taxicab was
coming from the east. Both approach
ed the corner at a good rate Of speed
and both drivers made strenuous eff
orts to avert a collision but the cars
came together in the center of The
street. The Vincent car got off with
the tenders being torn off and the side
of the car being crushed in but the
taxieab was not so fortunate. The
entire front Of the cab was damaged.
The radiator was broken, both lamps
smashed and It was al but demolished.
Mr.. Vincent in speaking of the acct
dent declared that It was probable that
both cars were running too fast as they
approached the corner. Vincent made
an effort to stop his ear and put on the
emergency brake but the car slid al
most across the street and directly in
front Of the taxicah Both were
towed to the garage for repairs. Mr.
Vincent and his brother were in the
touring car and they both escaped
without scratch The driver of the
taxi also escaped uninjured.

SEEK AUTO THIEVES HERE.
Police Asked to Arrest Five Boys Who
stole Auto in Chicago and ditched it

The police of Kenosha received a
telephone message from the Chicago
detective bureau on Thursday evening
asking them to seek the arrest of five
Chicago boys alleged to be on their
way from Woodstock, ILL.,, to Kenosha.
The boys were charged with stealing an
automobile. The machine was taken
from the loop district in Chicago Thurs
day morning and detectives followed it
to point just south of Woodstock,
where they found the automobile in the
ditch. The boys had gone to Woodstock
and had there taken a train to Har-
ward announcing that they were COM
ing to Kenosha. The trains were close
ly watched but the band of boys did
not reach Kenosha. The Chicago de-
tectives intimated that the boys sought
may reside In Kenosha.

lions which were included in the same
measure as those which the governor
considered Objectionable would have
failed.
The governor call attention to all
these things in his message which was
really an able document on the APP
preparation question and explained
very fully the evils which the budget
system had burdened upon this legis-
lature. If the budget system is to be
continued there must be some kind of
rule providing that the budget bills
with all appropriations contained in
them be on the floor of the houses
at least six weeks before the final adj
journment is taken More than this
there must also be a pretty def
mite rule as to the form the budget
shall take and what is to be accom-
plished in each separate bill which form
the budget measures. Items left out by
accident from one bill must not be in
Guided in another measure.
1t is held a pity that the governor s
suggestion in regard to constitution
al amendment could not have been made
effective by the passage of an initial
resolution Oh the subject at this SEES
sion Of the legislature. AS matter of
fact, however, if it was really desired
to be so, the amendment can probably
be made so as to be binding on the
next session Of the legislature if the
proposed constitutional amendment is
adopted by the people requiring only
the single passage of constitutional
amendment resolution, the resolution
can be passed early the next session
and submitted to the voters at the gen
eral election,
The governor has called the atten-
ton of the public to vital question,
and question worthy a great amount
of study.

BEEN DETECTED YET?
Plain Clothes Men from Out of the City
are Busy at Work in Kenosha.


Have you been detected as yet2
There is a brace of half dozen de-
tectives working in the city and no one
seems to have any idea just what their
game is. They are moving with a great
deal of secrecy and seem to be investi-
eating everything from the soldiers
monument in the park down to the Ke
nosha river. The men have been at
work in Kenosha for several days and
thus far they have been able to keep
their mission complete mystery. The
members Of the police department pro-
fess to be ignorant of the workings of
the plain clothes men in the city. It is
probable that the mystery will all come
up in due time but in the meantime
some of the people are little on the
anxious seat and these people are bonn
harding every one with questions in
regard to the mission of the sleuths.

Senator Tells His Friends
That He VIII Not Seek a
Reelection This Year.
IS TIRED OF POLITICAL GAME /

Candidates for the republican nomin-
ation for the United States senate who
have been worried by disquieting ru-
mors that Senator Isaac Stephenson
was intending to be candidate to sue
ceed himself can rest more easily. SEN
ator Stephenson has no such intention
and has announced to close friends that
he shall retire from office at the close
of his present term and for the remain
ing years of his life be only an inter
ested onlooker to the political game.
The senator has been in Marinette
and during his visit there has talked
freely about his plans not, to be can
didate again. It is said, however, that
he declines to talk with anyone for
publication on the subject. In a con-
versation with friend who called Mr..
Stephenson s attention to a dispatch
in one of the papers containing the
information the senator is said to have
remarked:
''Let them guess. Others have caused
me to do considerable guessing in this
state Now l will let them guess
awhile.'
Coupled with the news that Senator
Stephenson will not be candidate to
succeed himself is report that there
may be an out and out conservative
republican candidate in the field
1t is said that since a contest between
Gov. McGovern and Lieut.. Gov. Nor
ris for the republican nomination has
become assured the conservative re-
publicans have been discussing the
question of placing a candidate and
that it is more than likely E. L. Phillip
or some other prominent conservative
will enter the primary fight for the
republican nomination. 1t is said there
will be conferences of some of the con
sentative republican leaders in Mil
waukee state fair week at which the
United States senatorial plans Of the
conservatives will be discussed.

ENGLISH VETERAN IN JAIL
Arthur Thomas Who Served With Lord
Kitchener in India Gets Into Jail

Arthur Thomas, giving his address
as London, England and claiming to be
veteran of the English army was ar
rested Thursday night by the local po-
lice on charges of intoxication. He
spent the night in the lookup. This
morning the veteran produced his pap
ers and convinced the police that he
had served for twenty-one years in
the English army. He had served
with Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener
in the India and South African cam
paign and his record showed eleven
years service in India. Thomas claims
that he came to Kenosha from Mil
YANKEE on Thursday and after secur-
ing a room at local hotel he imbibed
too freely. His papers showed that he
was pensioner of the English crown.
The police released him without hear
ing with the understanding that he
was to accept work in local factory.

PARCEL POST STAMPS A DRAG.
Postmaster Baker Orders Supply Plac-
ed in General Circulation.

Acting under the instructions Of the
inspector in charge Of the district,
Postmaster R. V. Baker this morning
ordered the supply of parcel post
stamps of the one and two cent de-
nomination placed in general circula-
ton and the stamps will in the future
be sold for use for general postage
purposes. The stamps have been drag
on the market in Kenosha and the sup
ply IS sufficient to last for a year or
more. The higher denominations will
be retained for use for parcel post
business. The business is a disappoint-
ment at the Kenosha office and it is
probable that these stamps viii also
be used for letter purposes later. The
issuance Of the parcel post stamps has
been discontinued by the postoffice de-
partment and it is thought that stamp
collectors viii make considerable pu1.
chases of the ones outstanding.

TO SECURE PENNOYER LAND
Commissioners are Assured That Splen-
did Lake Front Property just North
of City Can be Secured at Reason
able Price-Figuus on Other Parks,

The board of park commissioners at
their regular meeting at the citys hall
on Wednesday evening, took up the
problem of securing new parks for
Kenosha and within the next few weeks
some communication will be sent to
the city council asking corporations In
securing a complete park system, for
the city. The movement is one of the
biggest ever started by any board in
the city and it is thought that it Will
meet with the enthusiastic support of
the people.
The commission has not fully work
ed out the plans for the park system,
but an effort will be made to secure
parks on all sides of the city. At the
meeting on Wednesday evening the
members of the board took up the
problem of securing park at the north
limits of the city. The proposition
provides for the purchase Of the land
to the east Of the Pennoyer Sanitarinm
and extending to the north as far as
st. George cemetery, The owners of
the property have made a proposition
to sell this land to the city at price
which is decidedly attractive. DIR. n.
A. Pennoyer has been one Of the strongs
est supporters of movements to secure
parks and he has suggested several
times that this property be taken over
by the city offering it to the officials
without any profit to himself and others
interested in the ownership. The prop
erty extends along the lake shore for
a distance of nearly 9 quarter OF
mile. The river runs through it, max
ing it especially adapted for park pur'
poses. 1t is certain that the city could
purchase the property under an agree
ment which would furnish plenty OF
time to pay for it.
The board also is considering plans
for the purchase Of other property for
parks. II the Bond Is woods could be
purchased at a reasonable figure there
is little doubt but that the commission
would recommend tle purchase to the
city council.
Members of the commission and of
the common council have been closely
watching the Developments Of the park
system in Racine. That city has been
generous in its expenditures for parks
and it was declared that the people
would not sanction the work. At the
last city election the people by an
overwhelming majority voted to issue
more bonds for the purchase of public
parks and play grounds.
1t is thought possible that Kenosha
people would give the movement the
same sort of a reception. Just at pres
emf the commission has half dozen
projects in view. The plan for the
extension Of Eichelman Park is under
and the only thing that
holds it back is the cost Of construct
ing breakwaters which would make it
possible for the city to make land for
an extension Of the park.
DR.. E. T. Rowell, recently named as
a member Of the park board, took his
seat at the meeting on Wednesday
evening and he promises to be one OF
the most active members of the board.
