SENDS TWO TO MENDOZA.
Gilbert Strong, Old Resident of Somers,
Adjudicated Insane This Morning.

In the county court this morning
Judge Taylor handed down formal or
der adjudicating insane Gilbert Strong,
one of the old residents of the town of
Somers. The examination on the part
of physicians recalled the fact that the
man had been feeble minded for nearly
fifty years. He was ordered committed
to the state hospital at Mendoza for
treatment. The condition Of the
patient was in no way such as to arouse
fear among his relatives, but he had
become so much of care that it was
deemed best to place him under the
custody Of the state institution.
Judge Taylor also signed formal
order committing H. Fl. Sigafoos to the
state hospital at Mendoza for treat
ment. He has been an invalid for
several years.

HEALTH OFFICER GETS BUSY
Refusal of Garbage Collectors to Move
Garbage May Force Action on the
Part of the City-Look over Reduc-
ton Plant in Milwaukee.

The officials of the city were brought
face to face with the garbage problem
this morning when the health officer
received many complaints of garbage
being stored in yards about the city. 1t
is declared shat one Of the garbage men
is making an effort to force the city to
reopen the city dump, but this will
not be done and if it becomes necessary
for the city to open a dumping ground
it will be with the understanding that
the city will receive the revenue for
the collection of garbage For the past
two months the garbage question has
been smouldering in Kenosha and some
of the men who have been connected
with the business are determined to
force the city to aid them in making
good profits out Of the collection Of the
garbage. Every possible thing has
been done to make the collection of
garbage impossible.
DR. McShane this morning took up
the matter and is making an investi-
cation and it is possible that city
wagons will be put into service to col
lect garbage which some of the collec-
tors have refused to haul away. Some
time ago the council voted to close up
the city dump and at that time the COM
mittee on streets and alleys was given
power to act in the matter Of disposing
of garbage provided they believed such
action necessary. DR.. McShane held a
long conference with Chairman Hege-
man of the streets and alleys commit
tee this morning, but no formal agree
ment was reached as to the course to be
followed by the city. Alderman Hege-
man declared that If the storage Of
garbage proved in any way a menace
to health the street committee would
lind some way to take care Of it. If
the city hauls away the garbage reason
able charges will be made for the serv-
ice. For some time officials have had the
matter under consideration and it is
probable that the council will again be
asked to look into the question of NUM-
cipal collection and disposal of garbage.
DIR McShane has made a visit to Mil
waukee and has made an examination
of the Milwaukee garbage disposal
plant and he is of the opinion that a
satisfactory plant could be built in Ke-
nosha without very great expense.
Several of the collectors of garbage
have made arrangements to take care
of all the garbage Of their customers
and these men have shown no desire to
take offense at the stand taken by the
city. Declaring that their business was
a legitimate one they have gone out
and found their own dumping grounds
and they are making profit in hand
ling the garbage. The city has made
no appropriation TO erect a garbage
reduction plant or for caring for the
collection of it, but if it becomes neces-
sary the street committee feels certain
that idle teams of the city street de-
partment can be worked with a profit
to the municipality during the winter

DEATH OF EDWARD GERKE.
Well known Farmer Died in Racine
at the Home of His Daughter.

years, a well known resident of the
town of Somers, died at the home of

ter a short illness. The remains will

morning and short funeral service will
be held at the German Lutheran church
after which the remains will be taken
to Milwaukee for interment. The de-
ceased had resided in Somers township
for many years and was, widely known
to the people in that part of the county.
A widow and several children survive
him.

Something like $4,000 has been col
lected as the share of the state in the
proceeds of the boxing shows held since
the law legalizing boxing in Wisconsin
went into effect and the boxing com.
mission has the proud distinction of be
ing one of the few commissions whose
duties produce revenue for the state M
stead of consuming it. 1t is right that
the shows should support the commits
sion which regulates them but such a
large tax seems a little high. IT legal
lied boxing is a good thing for the
state it should not tax it so much and
It It is not good thing for the state
the fact that it is a revenue producer
is a poor excuse for permitting it to
so on.

President Wilson Names
Juneau Man to Succeed Ell.
NJ. Fink, Long in Office.
is DECLARED TO Be PEACE MOVE

Paul A. Hemmy of Juneau, chair
man Of the democratic state central
committee, has been appointed collec-
tor Of internal revenue for the eastern
district Of Wisconsin, including Keno
.sha, to succeed Collector Henry NJ
Fink. Mr.. Hemmy s name was sent to
the senate by President Wilson on
Saturday.
It has been understood for some time
that Mr.. Kenny would get this posi-
ton in an attempt on the part Of the
dominant faction in the democratic
party Of the state to correct some Of
the i'll feeling which has been aroused
in democratic circles on account Of the
continued appointment Of Wilson men
to all the good Offices under the govern
ment In addition to this it is hoped
by the Awkward element that by the
appointment of Mr.. Kenny, who in adj
sdition to having been a Clark man, is
quite popular in Dodge county, they
would be able to tie that strong demo-
cratic county to thcir chariot wheels.
On the other hand, this appointment
will put out Of joint the noses of T..
j. Fleming Of Milwaukee and State
Senator S. w Randolph Of Manitowoc,
each of whom was sure that he would
get this particular plum.
Senator Randolph was a warm adher-
ent Of the Awkward faction, having sup
ported Wilson for the nomination and
later in the Legislature last winter was
one of the few democrats who allied
themselves with Awkward and Davies
Mr.. Fleming based his hopes of getting
the collectorship on the influence Of
William Jennings Bryan. 1t was re-
ported that Mr.. Bryan, so deep was his
interest in Mr. Fleming, even went so
far as to take the matter Of his APP
pointment up with the president. !.
However, the result shows what has
been claimed all along that J. E.
Davies. is the supreme arbiter Of Wis
consin federal appointments and
through him John A. Awkward controls
the rewards which are to be given to
those who are on that side in the fac
tional struggle that is on in the state.
Mr.. Fink held the office twenty
years He was first appointed collec.
tor Of internal revenue by President
Harrison in 1889 and dropped by Presi-
dent Cleveland four years later. IN
1897 he was again appointed to the
same office, this time by President Nc
Kinley and has retained the Office since.
Out of sixty-fye collectors he, with Col
leetor Eidman of the Third New York
district, are the only ones still in Office
who were originally appointed by
President Hayes in 1877 and re-
appointed by President Garfield in 1881
and was removed by President Cleve-
land on change of administration four
years later.
Mr.. Fink was member Of the

war Of secession and vas badly wound
