81 per cent. In the same period the
number of farm managers WORKING
for wages or a salary decreased ~
per cent. The number Of tenants
however, increased 1853 per cent.
Ever since 1880, and probably far
ther back than that, the farms oper-
ated by tenants have increased faster
than those operated by owners. Ihir-
ty years ago tenant farms constituted
25.6 per cent of all farms; twenty
years ago they formed 2s.4 per cent;
ten years ago, 35.3 per cent, and now
thew constitute 81 per cent OF the
whole.
The increase in farm tenantry is
LARGEST in the states which constitute
the greatest farming divisions of the
country. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Minnesota and Iowa there has been a
decrease in the number Of owners
who farm and an increase in tenants

SCOUTS MUST PAY DUES.
Annual Dues Of Twenty five Cents to
be Assessed Against Boy Scouts.

According to statement just is
sued by Chief Scout Executive Jas.
E. West of New York, chief official Of
the Boy Scout movement, on and after
October l of the present year every
member of the organization will be re-
quired to pay annual dues amounting
to twenty-five cents. The order has
not yet been received officially by the
members of any of the councils of the
Boy Scouts in this vicinity, but they
will have formal notice Of the new
rule during the present week. The
order affects every member of the or
ganization in Waukegan, Zion City,
Kenosha and north shore towns. Some
hundreds of members are affected by
the order. The principle of indepen-
dence and "pay as you go'' is to be
put in operation by the National Boy
Scout council, according to state
ment by Chief Scout Executive James
E. West in Scouting, the official organ.
The dues are to be paid to the council
treasurer, fifteen cents to be retained
for local work and ten cents for main
tenance of the work nationally. The
council urges that each scout earn his
dues.

TAKE NO ACTION.
Judiciary Committee of Council Meet
to Consider Annexation Petitions.

The judiciary committee of the COM
mon council met On Friday evening to
take up the discussion of the various
petitions relating to the annexation
of the territory to the south and west
of the city. No formal action was
taken to frame a report on the petit
tions, but it is expected that the re-
port will be ready at the next meeting
of the council and that it will be an
exhaustive one, showing every possi-
bic fact in connection with the petit
tions. The meeting on Friday even
ing was given over to the considera-
ton Of the signatures on the new pc
tition. This showed that the petition
had been signed by one hundred and
fifty-seven owners and electors, eighty
five property owners, not electors in
the district, and seventy-two electors,
not property owners in the district.
The committee will now make COM
parison of the names on the two petit
tions in order to determine just how
many Of the people have signed both
petitions.

SPINA CAM T REMEMBER.
italian Charged With Attempted Muir.
Ger Pleads Lapse of Memory.

District Attorney A. L. Drury has
given Frank Spina, the Italian held
in connection with the shooting of Po-
lice Officer John Cyzak, long grilling
and it is certain that Spina will plead
as his defense lapse of memory. He
declared to the district attorney that
his mind had been a blank from the
Saturday afternoon before the shoot
ing until long after he was locked up
in the city lookup. He declared that
he had absolutely no remembrance of
any shooting at his house or of the
coming of the police department and
that the first that he knew of the
shooting was when the facts were told
to him after he had been arrested and
placed in the city lookup. The dis
trict attorney has prepared complaint
against Spina charging him with at
tempted murder and if Cyzak con-
tinues to improve Spina will be ar
raigned on this charge the first Of
next week.

FIRST UNDER NEW Law.
Mrs. Mezza G. Dorsey Arrested on
Charges of SANDER on Friday.

The first arrest in Kenosha under the
new law against SANDER, took place on
Friday evening when Mrs. Mezza C.
Dorsey, proprietor of the English
Court, was arrested on a complaint
sworn out by Mrs. Veronica Wagner,
formerly employed as a servant at the
hotel. The case was called before
Judge Randall this morning. Mrs.
Dorsey did not appear in person, but
she was represented by her attorney,
H. J. Hastings, who asked that an ad-
journment be granted. The language
alleged in the complaint was not of a
serious nature and under the old law
it would have been punishable with a
for use of abusive language.
It is probable that the case will be
settled up before the formal hearing
in court.

TEACHERS ENTERTAINED.
Young People of Park Av. Church Give

One Of the most interesting social
events of the week in Kenosha was
the reception given on Friday evening

seventy-tive of the teachers were pres

END OF OLD CASE.
Judge Taylor Grants Final Hearing
for Estate Of Missing j. Lynch.

The final chapter in case which
has been in the courts of Kenosha
county for nearly ten years was writ
ten today when Judge Taylor in the
county court, heard the final account
Of the administrator Of the estate of
the late John Lynch and directed that
the estate amounting to $4,000 be di-
vided among the heirs Of the late
William Lynch. John Lynch disap-
peared from Kenosha in 1892 and was
not heard from in many years. Some
time ago a petition was made to the
court for administration of the estate
on the claim that Lynch must have
died without the knowledge of his
family. A formal order declaring
Lynch illegally dead' was made some
time ago and the order today finally
disposes of his estate.

PORT OF MISSING MEN.
Many Requests for Searches in Keno
sha for Disa ppearing Men.

kenosha seems to be port of
missing men, and hardly day
passes, but that the police or the
sheriff is asked to make search IN the
city for some person missing from some
other city. The latest request is for
search for A. H. Casterton, forty
eight years of age, who is missing
from his home in Aurora, III. The
man left his home in Aurora on July
18th, stating that he was coming to
kenosha to work and nothing has been
heard of him since that time. So far
as can be learned the man never reach
ed Kenosha. He left behind him in
Aurora wife and five children and
the wife is urging the local officials
to make the search for him.

MORE KINDERGARTEN CRIME.
Police Pick Up Three Boys Charged
With Petty Thievery on Wednesday.

Kenosha seems to have an epidemic
of kindergarten crime ;, just at pres
emit and following the arrest Of four
boys under twelve years Of age week
ago the police on Wednesday afternoon
arrested three more boys of tender
age. The oldest was ten years of age
and Chief O'Hare ordered that the
boys be turned over t, their parents
for safe keeping rather than placed in
the Jail. The boys were charged with
the theft of a tricycle. and also with
taking quantity of canned goods
from basement en- West Prairie
avenue. The cases were not taken up
in court, the police officers having a
talk with the parents Of the boys
which resulted in promises of better
parental care.

taken by him to attend banquet
at which the chief of police of the
German empire, Won Madai, was pres
ent and was seated opposite to tall
gentleman with long whiskers which |
was later informed was the then Crown
Prince Frederick and later the emperor.
5. The enlargement of Emperor
William and Empress Augusta was
caused by the substitution as the
former favored the same.
6. When Emperor William the
First, (the grandfather), in later years
was prevailed upon to make amends
and recognize me the interests which
were opposed to this caused Hoedel to
shoot at the emperor. 1t was not the
intention to hurt him, but simply to
warn him. When several years later
the old emperor, yielding to the urg-
ings made another remonstrance,
Modelling shot him with bird shot to
give him another forcible reminder.
IF a revolutionary party wants to re-
move monarch, they send a sharp
shooter who does not miss his mark
and who uses bullet and not bird
shot. 1t was not the intention, as
stated before, to kill the emperor as
that would have brought the whole of
his family and English princes who
sided with him to revolt.

Use to her lamented consort.
This matter has had much publicity
and detailed statements have been de-
posted in all quarters of the globe and
| will get partial redress for the ter
rible wrong committed to me--but
what about the dead.
The present emperor against the
custom of the Hollenzollerns, never
goes to the family castle, the cradle
of his house Of rulers. He is the first
of his race that bought an estate out
side of his estate. He is to be pit
tied as much as I.
Those who believe in signs and
omens will find food for thought in
the fact that during recent earth
quake which shook part of Europe,
the facade Of the Hohllenzollern cas-
tie, fell in and the colossal statute of
German;la was thrown from another
caste in Stuttgarth.

Many Villages in the State Demand
Improvement of Roads in Their Linn
its and Fund Will be Exhausted in
Taking Care of These Demands

Chapter 776 of the laws of 1913 ex-
tends the provisions of the state aid
law to villages and to cities of the
fourth class having population of
FIVE thousand or less. It is provided
in chapter 668 that the main streets
in villages and cities of the fourth
class directly connecting portions of
road then on the county system of
highways shall be added to the county
system of prospective state highways
at the November meeting Of the
county boards.
Chapter 776 provides that villages
and cities may vote or accept sub
scriptions for the improvement of
streets in them, even though these
streets are not now on the system,
and that if they are afterward put on
the system of roads by the county
board, the improvements can be made
in 1914. Money for state aid improve
ments may be voted by the city council
or the village board, and no special
election is necessary. Inasmuch as
city councils and village boards may
be legally called together on few
hours notice, it is still possible to vote
for improvements under state aid in
1914 prior to September 1st, 1913.
These applications must be mailed to
the county cle,k on or before Septem-
Der 1st. The Wisconsin Highway Com
mission will furnish forms for appli-
cation to any city or village upon
post card request.
Officers of villages and cities should
read carefully chapter 776 and sub
sections 2, 8, and 5 of section
1317nl-4 Of the statutes, and also
subsection of section 1317m-4 Of
Chapter 668, LawsIof 1913. Copies of
these new chapter, are on file in the
county clerks ofises.
This new law is interesting to Ke-
nosha county, not only because of the
fact that it gives the towns and vii
lagos the right to claim state aid for
the improvement Of roads within their
own limits. but also and it can be said
oPt
the enforcement of the statute will
probably result in Kenosha county
getting no added appropriation for
road work. The amount apportioned
to the county at the first allotment
of the road money was a little less
than $4,000. 1t was expected that
this would be increased to at least
$4,000 by the second allotment Of
money not claimed by other counties.
The state highway commissioners
have sent letter to the county clerk
in which it is stated that there is SO
active demand for Improvement in
villages that there will be no second
allotment of road money this year and
if Kenosha county secures from the
state an amount equal to the amount
appropriated by the towns and by the
county it will be necessary to secure
it from some fund other than that for
state aid for roads and with the legis-
lature not in session it is not thought
that any further money can be secur-
ed. It is possible that with these
facts staring them in the face the
members of the county board will seek
to reduce the amount appropriated by
the county so that it will be the same
as the amount apportioned to this
county by the state, payment of which
