Miss Louise Lester, better known to
the picture public as Calamity
Anne" writes all her own scenarios
IN which she plays this character.
1t may be interesting to know that
Calamity Anne" is real character
whom Miss Lester encountered some
years ago before her advent In "moy
ies.r
The innate goodness OF this "dia-
mond in the rough" appealed to Miss
Lester and in real life, just as Miss
Lester portrays her In pictures, she is
always ready to sacrifice her own
comfort for the good OF others and in
variably gets into trouble lighting for
what she believes is right.
The powerful appeal OF this series,
aslds from the laughable comedy de-
picted by the lone woman with a jack
ass as her only friend, is the silver
thread of self-sacriice and goodness
running through the pictures that
appeal TO all.
Miss Lester popularity known in
this character and even In pictures
where she appears in entirely different
roles she is pointed out as Calamity
Anne"

Because Of the many complaints of
damage to parcels sent by parcels post,
the postofice department. made inves-
legations with the result that postmas-

postmasters are instructed to see that
parcels containing fragile articles must
be very securely packed and be mark
ed 'fragile. " If parcels are marked
9 fragile and do not contain fragile
articles they must not be accepted for
mailing. Perishable articles must not
be accepted for mailing when address
ed to offices beyond the limits of the

castings, pillow points, pieces of machin
cry, etc, should be wrapped to prevent
damage to mail and equipment by their

and mail contractors and their employ
es, who handle mail, are instructed to
handle it carefully and bags having
8 fragile tags attached must be hand

PRESENT TEMPERANCE CAUSE
Speakers of the Wisconsin. Anti Saloon
League Speak in Kenosha Pulpits.

Speakers of the Wisconsin Anti-Sa-
loon league came to Kenosha on Sunday
morning and presented the cause of the
league IN the various churches of the
city. Or. J. S. Lean of Milwaukee,
superintendent Of the Wisconsin organi-
cation, was In charge of the work dur
ing the day. No mention was made of
local conditions but lively interest in
the work III the state was attested by
the fact that large audiences greeted
the speakers at the various churches
DR.. Lean declared that the work in
Wisconsin was progressing and he as
serted that conditions were proving
brighter every day for the enactment
of an amendment to the constitution
Of the United States which would bring
a prohibition of the liquor traffic. The
largest meeting of the day was held at
Park Avenue Church on Sunday morn
ing when DR.. Lean spoke to a crowd of
more than $50 people. At this service
gifts to the amount Of 1858 were receiv-
ed for the advancement Of the work
and the total contributions during the
day amounted to close to $780,

Tony Martin Opens Fire on
Two Young Men on West
Market Street Sunday.
PLEADS IGNORANCE IN COURT

The unrestrained use Of fire arms
still seems to be the vogue on the west
side Of the city and Tony Martin was
brought before Judge Randall in the
municipal court this morning charged
with carrying concealed weapons after
a mysterious shooting ARRAY on the
corner of Rowland avenue and Mar
ket street just before midnight Sunday
night. He was fined SO and the costs
of the action and being unable to pay
was sent to Jail for term of sixty
days.
Martin gave the court very unsat-
isfactory story Of the shooting. Two
young men, John Moran and Stanley
Rowlas, were arrested at the same time
as Martin and they were arrested on
charges of disturbance. The men re-
fused to plead guilty to the charge and
asserted that they had nothing to do
with Martin and had never seen him
until he began shooting. The two men
were on their way to the west end of
the city and perfectly sober. just af-
ter they had passed the corner of Mar
ket and Rowland avenue Martin rush
ed out of the house and opened fire
with 2. revolver. The two men took
to their heels and later they were ar
rested along with Martin.
In court Martin declared that he had

story which would justify the shooting.

tackled on the sixty days in Jail. All
efforts to get any story out Of the
man were unavailing but the police are
continuing the Investigation. The
shooting caused lot of excitement in
this busy west side neighborhood aud
big crowd had collected by the time

fourishing the revolver.
Moran and Rowlas are insistent that
they had not known Martin and that
they knew no reason why he or any
other man should have opened fire on
them. The two claimed that they were
walking peaceably along the street at
the time the shooting took place. 1t
is not improbable that the charges
made against the two men will be dis
missed later III the day.
The weapon ordinance does not seem
to have made any great reduction in
the number of gun toters in Kenosha
and it is probable that an effort will
be made to have the court place even
heavier penalties on men arrested for
carrying fire arms.

LAST OF OLD KENOSHA FAMILY
Miss Frances Harriet Newell Crushed
Under Municipal Pier in California
City Saturday Was for Many Years
Prominent in Church Work Here.


Miss Frances Harriet Newell, aged
% years, long a resident of Kenosha,
and a sister of the late 0. S. Newell,
former mayor of the city and the late
Frederick Newell, met instant death
Saturday afternoon in the accident at
Long Beach, CAL, when the collapse
Of municipal pier there resulted in
the death of thirty-six people. Mrs.
Mollie Gates Of Oak Park, H., travel
ing companion Of Miss Newell, was.
severely injured in the accident and
died at the hospital at Long Beach on
Sunday.
Miss Newell was the last member of
the family of Theodore Newell which
had been prominent in the affairs of
Kenosha for many years. For the past
four years she had been an invalid and
she had spent much of her time in trav-
cling. She went to Long Beach some
four years ago and established resi-
dence there.
Miss Newell was daughter of the
late Theodore Newell, one of the early
pioneer presidents Of the village of
Southport, now Kenosha. She was
born in Kenosha in 1847 and shortly
after her birth the family removed to
New Haven, Conn.,, where Miss Newell
was educated. The family returned to
Chicago in the early sixties and after
the death Of the father Of Miss Newell
her mother and other members of the
family came to Kenosha where they re-
sided for many years. Miss Newell was
a woman Of high educational attain
ments and she took deep interest in
church work. She had been active as a
worker in the First Congregational
Church here for many years before 60
ing to California to make her home.
Mrs. Gates Of Oak Park had been with
her as travelling companion for the
past two years.
Miss Newell always took great in

cred this city her home. She made fire.
quent visits to Kenosha after removing
to California. No details Of her death
have been received here more than that
she was instantly killed in the collapse
of TIE pier and her body was not iden
tilted until Sunday morning.
The remains of Miss Newell will be
brought TO Kenosha for interment at
the family plot in the Kenosha City
cemetery and the funeral will probably
take place the latter part of this week.

The prices received by the city of
Racine for a bond issue last week were
not particularly encouraging to Keno
sha which is about to market some
more of its securities. There is one
point in favor of this city and that is
that the money is not needed immedi-
ately and there is a possibility that
the market may improve before it is
necessary to sell our bonds. It would
be a new experience for Kenosha and
one that would be decidedly unpleas-
ant to be forced to sell its bonds at a
discount.

FLAG DAY CALL OUT
American Association Urges
All Cities to Honor Ma
tionaI Emblem June Ia.
PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES TO join

To the president of the United States,
to every governor, to the boards of ed
ueation, to every mayor in the country,
to the newspapers and to the members
Of every patriotic society in the land,
has gone forth the call from the officers
of the American Flag Association that
Flag day this year be celebrated as
never before, Scores of these appeals
have been received in Kenosha and
members of the G. A. r., who are boost
ing for real observance of the day
here, have not waited for this official
Il, but had already made preliminary
moves in planning for the day. The
official call gives valuable information
as to the reason for Flag day. 1t is
as follows:
In accordance with its custom for the
past sixteen years, the American Flag
Association reminds you that Saturday,
June IA, 1913, will be the 136th ami
versary of the adoption Of the Stars
and Stripes as the flag of our country.
The public recognition of Flag day as
IA national anniversary each year be-
coming more general would seem to
make unnecessary any reminder to Sc
cure your cooperation in securing the
widest possible observance this year.
The governors of many of the states
have in the past, by their proclama-
tions, called public attention to the day
and ordered the flag to be displayed on
all public buildings, and invited their
fellow citizens to celebrate the day.
Mayors of cities for recognition of this
anniversary have in the past also or
dered flags to be displayed upon the
municipal buildings and by formal
proclamation or otherwise invited their
citizens to do the same ON private
buildings.

council 1t is said that half a dozen
locations in Kenosha now used for sa.
loon purposes are now under investi-
cation and the brewery men have sug-
gested that they will abandon these
locations as license places if the city
will make such changes in the saloon
districts as to permit the present pro-
prietors of these saloons continuing in
business. Of course it will be neces-
sary for the property owners to join
in the movement as under the present
law the council has no right to change
the location of. saloon license with
out the petition of the property own
ers or without it being shown that the
property is no longer fit for saloon
purposes The tendency of the coun-
Gil has not been favorable to the ex-
tension of the saloon districts, but it
is possible that under the circum-
stances that some changes will be
made. The attorneys for the brewery
agents have taken the matter up with
the chief of police and the mayor
Some action along this line is expect
ed at the next meeting of the council
The saloon men are now receiving the
formal notice for the opening Of the
new license year and every one OF them
will be given copies of the law and be
advised that any violations of this law
will be sufficient cause for revocation
of license rights.
