VERDICT AGAINST JOHNSON.
$4,000 Personal Injury Suit Comes to
Sudden End in the Circuit Court.

The suit Of Frank Johnson against
the simmons Manufacturing Company,
claiming damages to the extent Of
$4,000 for personal injuries, came to
a sudden termination in the circuit
court late Wednesday afternoon when
Judge Belden from the bench directed
verdict in favor of the defendant
company. More than two days had
been spent by the attorneys in putting
in evidence and the court held that
the evidence submitted was of such a
nature as to make it impossible for him
to submit the case to the jury. The
attorneys for the plaintiff argued the
case a length, but tie attorneys for
the company declined 20 make any ar
gument, declaring that the evidence
showed clearly the assumption of risk
ard contributory negligence. No mo-
tions for new trial have as yet been
made by the attorneys for Johnson,
but it is expected that such motions
will be made or that an appeal to the
supreme court will be taken. The ease
had attracted considerable attention
among local manufacturers on account
of the nature of the claim of Johnson.

TOO CLOSE TO LIGHT STATION
Mayor Is Asked to Urge the City not
to Follow Course Outlined by Mem
bers of Special Committee May take
up Matter with the City Later.

The United States government is go
ing to take q decided stand against
the opening of an isolation hospital at
the building owned by the city on
Washington Island and Mayor Dan Q.
Head has received from the bureau Of
commerce and labor copies Of letters
which have been issued by the men
in that department. The objection Oh
the government is based on the fact
that the hospital will be located too
close to the government light station
on the island. In letters to the mayor
he IS asked to use his influence to pre-
vent the location of the isolation hos
pital in the building which has been
suggested. The special committee of
the council is still considering the
problem of the isolation hospital, but
no formal action has as yet been TAX
en-, although the city council has given
the committee authority to proceed
with the work of making such repairs
as may be deemed necessary to make
the building suitable for uses as an
isolation hospital. Mayor Head has
made public his correspondence with
the department. 1t follows:
March 10, 1913.
His Honor the Mayor,
City of Kenosha, Wis
Honorable Sir:
Protests have been entered with the
commissioner of lighthouses at Wash
ington, D. c., against the establish
ment of a contagious disease hospital
in the vicinity of lighthouse at Keno
sha.
This office respectfully submits the
inclosed copies of correspondence for
your information and files.
It is hoped you will use your infu-
once to prevent the establishment Of
this hospital in the location referred to.
Respectfully,
Lewis NJ. St6ddarf,
Inspector.

WHAT A MAN DEMANDS.
Pleases Big Audience at the Rhode
Opera House Last Night.

What Mar Demands" was full
ly and capably set forth at the Rhode
Opera House last night when the
Richardson Dramatic Club of Chicago,
presented a play under that title, and
under the auspices and for the bene-
fit of the st. James Charity Club.
Considerable. local interest was mani
tested because John Hegeman, Ke-
nosha. boy, vas to play the leading
role, and the rounds of applause and
numerous curtain calls attested to the
approval and pleasure Of the audience.
To single out any particular one of
the east for special mention would be
unfair as the members of the company
were equally clever and capable in
their several parts. The play might
be called problem play, and reminds
us very much Of "Mrs. Danes De-
fense, one of Mrs. Langtry' former
successes. 1t was interestingly told,
nicely staged and beautifully costum-
ed

JUNIOR PROM A GREAT SUCCESS.
High School Boys and Girls Have Great
Time at Annual Dancing Party.

High school boys and girls had a
great time on Friday evening when
the annual junior prom was held at the
Academy and it proved to be one Of
the most successful parties given in
the city during the year. The big hall
was decorated in a most pleasing man
lier, the colors being green and white.
The walls were hung with festoons and
the ceiling completely hidden with the
profuse decorations. In the center of
the hall was a large bank of ferns and
palms. More than three hundred peo-
pie attended the party and music for
the dancing was furnished by Becker S
orchestra of ten pieces. During the
evening punch was served by the
young ladies of the junior class.
While the party was given by the
Juniors in honor of the seniors mem
bers OF all the classes of the school
were present. The party is declared
to have been the most successful ever
given by the high school boys and
girls. The leaders on the committees
in charge of the successful party were
Earl Schmitz, Amy Wickam, Ken
meth Mainland, Minnie Skidd, Lester
Siedschlag, Kenneth Eastman and Rus
sell Benedict.

making loud call for the sewers for
more than a year and the contractors
have declared that the ground was in
such condition as to make it impos-
sihle to start the work. The commit
tee was instructed to view the ground
today and order the contractors to get
to work just as soon as possible. The
council refused to take any action in
regard to the Lyman avenue sewer and
this matter will be UP to the bonding
company. Instructions will be given
the company to start the work at once.
Efforts will be made to have all con-
tracted work in the city started at
once with a view Of having it en-
pleted at the earliest possible time.

vEToEs PFENN1G BILL.
Gov McGovern Kills Measure to Limit
Hunting Licenses for Aliens.

The Pfennig bill passed by the two
houses of the legislature and provid-
ing for limiting the issuance of hunt
ting licenses to citizens or to aliens
owning property, was vetoed by Gov
ernor McGovern on Friday evening.
The measure had been favorably con-
sidered by both houses by large ma
jority and Assemblyman Pfennig of
this city, who fathered the bill, is hope
ful that it will be passed over the veto
of the governor. In vetoing the meas
ure the governor held that it seemed
to be unfair to the aliens who were not
landholders. The bill had been strong
ly urged by officials Of all counties
with large alien population on account
of the failure of alien hunters to re-
spect the property rights of others.

L. N. DE DEIMAR INJURED.
Loses Foot as Result of a Railway
Accident on Monday.

Letters received in Kenosha today
announce that L. n. DeDeim2r, form
er keeper of the Kenosha light and
now in charge of the government light
house at South Haven, Mich, was
operated on az a hospital in South
Haven on Wednesday morning and his
right foot removed. The amputat or
of the foot was made necessary by a
railway accident. The light keeper
while walking near his home on last
Monday was struck by railway train
and thrown under car in such & nan
ner that his right leg was crushed.
Mr.. DeDeimar is over seventy years
of age and on account of this fact it
is feared that his recovery from the
accident and the subsequent amputa-
tion will be very slow.

FIGHT OVER RELIGIOUS TENETS
Conditions in the City are Such That
Officials from waukegan are Called
in to Quell Excitement and it is
Feared chat Bloodshed will Follow.

Crusaders who sought to STAN
pede employees of the Cook Electrical
plant in Zion City into becoming Zion
lists met with clubs and threats of ar
rest yesterday. One woman was ar
rested, another was knocked down aud
several men were slightly injured dur
ing the first onslaught from the town
marshal s forces.
The trouble has grown out of the in
sistent efforts of the Zionites, who
style themselves crusaders, to hold
open-air meetings near the Cook plant
The electrical workers say they do not
care for this attention and asked the
town marshal, John j. Hoover, to drive
away the religious enthusiasts who were
endeavoring to "save" them.
Yesterday morning S meeting was de-
voted to general and vigorous de-
Inunciation of the electrical workers
who use tobacco. In the midst of the
harangue the town marshal and his
men arrived. He ordered the crowd to
dispense, and when the men and women
refused to do so, he and his men
charged them with clubs.
The leaders of the Zionites continued
to read excerpts from the Bible while
others sang church hymns. Three ex-
horters were knocked down with clubs
as they shouted at the factory en-
|ployes. John Darling, blind man, is
said to have been injured by a blow
from a club.
Later a number of women formed in
line and attempted to march toward the
Cook plant, but were charged by Mar
shall Hoover and his men, who are said
to have knocked down Mrs. Sally
Mitchell, rs years old; Mrs. John Henry
and Miss Ellen A. Lloyd, who refused
to dispense when ordered to do so.
Miss Lloyd later was arrested, but
the others were allowed to go.
Acting Mayor w. F. Miller declares
he will swear in large number of
special deputy marshals if necessary tc
stop the crusaders street gatherings
while the leaders of the Zion church
retort they will appeal to the courts
for protection.

MILWAUKEE, KNIGHTS HERE.
Kenosha knights of Columbus Bowlers
Win in Second Match by SO Pins.

Kenosha Knights Of Columbus, who
reveI on the bowling alleys, had some
thing to amuse them on Thursday even
ing when a bowling team of thirty
two members made up Of the members
of the Milwaukee Council, came to Ke-
nosha to meet the local Knights on the
alleys, Every alley in the city was
called into service to provide place
for the bowIers and after the pins had
been slipping and falling for more
than two hours and half the careful
scorekeepers managed to figure vic
tory for the Kenosha Knights by a
margin of fifty pins. The bowling
game was just the start Of the amuse-
ment for the evening and after the
game was over the Knights and their
guests gathered at the Hotel Borup
where dinner was served at 1920.
Covers were laid for eighty people and
after the dinner was over there were
short talks by members of both the
Milwaukee and Kenosha Councils.
Some weeks ago the Kenosha bowlers
went to Milwaukee and lost the match
there. The score is now evened up
and arrangements are being made for
third tourney to be played on some
of the alleys in Racine.

NEITHER LICENSE REVOKED
Alderman Kisten of License Committee
Declares That Two Other Places are
Under Suspicion ana that Action will
be Asked when Evidence is Secured.

The city council on Friday evening
decided to try discipline IN an effort
to improve the conduct of saloons in
the city and to this end the license
of the saloon at SIT Milwaukee ayen-
lie was suspended until July LIST next
and that of Michael Kolowski, who had
a license for place on North Main
street, was suspended until the first
day Of May. Both places will be clos
ed up during the period of suspension.
The members of the council seemed to
favor this plan rather than the plan
of revoking the licenses.
Action on the Milwaukee avenue
place was taken on the motion of the
attorney for the Brand Brewing Com
pany, owners of the building and the
attorney made frank statement to
the council in which he declared that
the place was an unsatisfactory one for
the brewing company and that it would
be kept closed until the end of the
license period with the understanding
that by this time another place was
found and a man could be secured to
operate saloon who would meet with
the sanction Of the council. The Mil
waukee avenue |'hoodoo" as it is
known to the brewery will be aban-
doned and the property used for some
other purpose. This will be welcome
news to people in the neighborhood as
the saloon has long been an eye sore.
1t is understood that the members
of the council will make no objection
to the licensing of clean place and
it is not probable that there will be
any reduction in the number of
licenses.
A hard fight was made to prevent
the council disciplining the Kolowski
saloon. Attorney r. V. Baker appear
ed for Kolowski and make frank
statement in which it was admitted
that Kolowski had planned to sell the
place, but that the sale had been held
open until the first Of July pending
the action Of the council on license
to be granted to the new man. Attor-
ney Baker charged that similar trans
fers had been made on Main street
and on the west side of the city. He
made strong plea for KoloWski, de-
claring that the man had been suf-
ficiently punished by being forced to
keep his saloon closed for three weeks
and losing his business. Alderman
Kisten held that Kolowski was per-
fectly aware of the law when he at
tempted to sell the place, but he did
not push his former demand for a re-
vocation of the license. The plan
adopted to close the place until the
first of May was compromise and the
license committee seemed to be salts
fed with this arrangement.
1t is probable that the license com
mittee will act in the cases of other
saloons during the coming week and
the new council will probably have
some demands for revocation of IL
censes to consider early in May.
Alderman Kisten has declared that
he will play no favorites and that
every saloon man who attempts to sell
his license will be hauled before the
council and be forced to show cause
why the license should not be revoked.

The report that saloons in the
county kept open on election day
should be investigated and if substan-
tiated by evidence that is admissible
in court of law prosecutions should
follow. There is no reason that any
one can see why any saloon in the
county should be allowed any special
privileges to violate the law Keno
sha has adopted the policy of treat
ing all saloon men alike and it may be
remarked that it has been. found that
the great majority of saloon men are
perfectly willing to submit to any rea-
sonahle regulations 50 long as they are
assured that all competitors are held
to the same rules.

The bureau attention is respect

An isolated hospital, located less

keepers dwelling, it is considered
would constitute serious menace to
the health of the light keeper fami-
". Therefore, | respectfully recon-

There have been several reports of
people being bitten by vicious dogs
lately and while there IS no suspicion
that any of the animals are mad own
ers should tie up their dogs at the first
sign Of i'll temper. It would not take
much to start 'mad dog scare in
the city and that is something that
should be avoided if it is a possible
thing. A quiet check up by the police
to see if all of the dogs on their beats
are licensed might help some ia de-
creasing the danger of a scare.

The Honorable,
The Secretary of Commerce.
Sir:
/ have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 1st instant
inclosing communication from the
lighthouse inspector, Chicago, ILL.,, with
reference to the establishment of a
contagious disease hospital in the
vicinity of the lighthouse at Keno
sha, Wis
In your letter you request an opin-
ion of this department as to whether
your department would be justified in
making protest against the establish
ment of this hospital on the site said
to have been selected for the purpose
1t is noted in the statement Of the
keeper Of the above mentioned light
house, that it is proposed to locate this
hospital "A feet south of his, the keep
er s dwelling. There is also a state
ment from the keeper of the U. S. Life
Saving Station at the same place, who
says that this building would also be
near the life saving station.
In reply | have to say that it would
not appear proper or desirable to build
an isolation hospital so near the life
saving station and the lighthouse sta
ton at that place.
Respectfully,
(Signed) j. A. f. Curtis,
Acting Secretary.
