CONTINUED TO JUNE TERM.
Judge Belden Issues Formal order Dis
posing of all March Calendar Gases

Judge E. B. Belden in the circuit
court this morning issued a formal or
der setting all cases undisposed Of at
the March term of the circuit court for
trial at the coming June term with the
further order that no formal notice of
the cases for the June term will be de-
manded from the attorneys. This order
will not necessitate the calling of jury
for the June term as all of the cases
for the consideration of the jury have
been disposed of. There are ten cases
left over from the March term and
these with number Of divorce eases
are expected to make up the calendar
for the June term. The June term is
usually Of little interest but the addi-
tion Of these cases to the calendar will
make the term busy one.

State Crop Report Declares
Conditions Much Better
than in Former Years.
FRUIT CROP TO Be A BUMPER

The state board Of agriculture $
crop report for May, the first issued
this year, indicates that conditions in
Wisconsin are much more favorable
than for the same month in 1912 Re
ports came from all but five counties.
"The general average condition Of
winter wheat is 80 per cent as against
So per cent in 1872 says the report,
prepared by Secreatry James G. Mac
Kenzie. 'SWinter rye is SO per cent
against 81 per cent; alfalfa 81 per cent
against 50 per cent; clover meadows
50 per cent against 81 per cent; timo-
thy meadows 81 per cent against 8S
per cent; pastures So per cent against
Sc per cent.
The acreage comparison is equally
encouraging with the exception of win
ter rye and barley. The increase is as
follows: Winter wheat, SO per cent, as
compared with 81 per cent in 1912;
spring whea4 81 per cent, against 90
per cent; spring rye, SO per cent,
against 50 per cent; oats, 101 per cent,
tire same as last year; clover meadows,
101 per cent, against "a; timothy mea-
dows, 90, against SO. The percentage.
Of acreage OF winter rye in 1913 is 90
per cent, as compared with 81 per
cent in 1912, and the acreage Of bar
ley in 1913 is 50 per cent, as against
102 per cent in 1912. The acreage of
alfalfa for 1913 is reported at 107 per
cent, showing a substantial increase.
The percentage of abandoned winter
wheat acreage for the entire state is
Ia per cent, and that of abandoned
winter rye acreage is per cent.
Fourteen per cent of the 1912 hay
crop was still in the hands of the farm
ers on May /, and the report shows
that IS per cent of the entire hay crop
of the state will be consumed on the
farms producing it. Sixteen per cent
Of the 1912 corn crop was still in the
hands of the farmers May /, and ga
per cent Of the total crop Of corn pro-
duced in Wisconsin will be consumed
on the farms producing it. The report
shows loss of silage amounting to
approximately per cent of the whole.
Soil conditions were reported generally
favorable, although there was very lit
tie rainfall during April. The soil CON
tanned sufficient moisture, however, so
that the growth of crops was not re-
tarded. Subsequent to the first of May
a general rainfall throughout the en-
tire state has improved conditions
materially.
9'The prospects for record breaking
fruit crop in Wisconsin were never
better than at the present times
The wages paid for farm labor
vary from $50 to $37 per month, the
general average throughout the state
amounting to So per month,

Hermann Demands Back Pay.

The meeting had a little humor in
jected into it by claim filed by Bern
hard Hermann, formerly street COM
missioner for the north division, who
made demand upon the city for 1918.
He claimed this was the balance of
his salary as street commissions. In
his claim he asserted that he was elect
ed a commissioner in April of 1911,
and that he was wrongfully and I'M
lawfully removed from Office in Novem
Der of the same year. Some of the
members of the council were in favor
of laying the claim on the table, but
it was finally referred to the commit
tee on claims. The former street COM
missioner was removed after a trial
before the council and the attorney
for the city has already held that he
has no claim for alleged salary earned
as commissioner.
The proposition of Harry L. Goldberg
to purchase seven feet of the property
to the east of the Central Engine
House at consideration of $1,750,
failed to meet with any great amount
of support. 1t was referred to the
committee on buildings and water
works. In his offer Mr. Goldberg stated
that the lot which he had purchased
from DR.. E. s. Meers was too small
to permit the erection of three stores,
but that with the added seven feet it
would be possible for him to erect a
! much more beautiful building and one

The contract for the dredging of the
harbor has been let and it is expected
that the work will be begun next week.
Right at the beginning it would be
well to have an understanding with the
men running the seows that the dump
ing is to be done at point far enough
out SO that there is not the slightest
chance of any of the refuse getting into
the intake of the water company. The
colonization process is working but it
will have enough to do to take the
germs out of the ordinary run Of lake
water without testing it with any of
the filth scraped from the bottom of
the harbor by the dredges.

RUBIN ASKS DECREE.
Well-known Painter Files Suit for Dt'
vorce from His Wife.


John j. Rubin, well-known painter
and decorator, has fled suit in the
circuit court demanding divorce from
his wife, Mrs. Minnie L. Rubin. In his
complaint served on Monday, the plain
tiff declares that he and his wife were
married at Chicago, Feb. Is, 1898. He
charges his wife with cruelty and with
repeated intoxication. The complaint
shows that there were no children born
to the union. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Rubin
are now living in Kenosha and it is pos
sible that the case will be contested
when it is called for trial in the circuit
court at the June term. The complaint
is fled by Attorney R. V. Baker, repre-
senting Mr.. Rubin.

OPEN ASHLAND AVE. AT ONCE
Council Closes up Contract for Motor
Driven Patrol Wagon Barney Her
mann Brings Little Comedy by De-
handing Salary for Time Of Duty.

The city council at its meeting on
Monday evening took the first step
toward the building Of the proposed
main sewer for the north and north
west sides of the city and the pre-
liminary plans for the sewer were
passed on by the council and the city
attorney was instructed to prepare an
ordinance for a bond issue of $4,000
to pay for the building of a portion
of the sewer. 1t is thought that this
work can be completed during the
present year.
The building Of the sewer contem-
plates the opening of North Pleasant
street from North street south as far
as Pike river and possibly further
south. Henry J. Hastings and Mrs.
Helen Trumbull have given written
agreement to the city to permit the
opening Of this portion Of the street
through their property. The prelimin-
airy plans for the sewer as adopted
provide for the building of thirty
six inch sewer from Racine avenue and
North street west TO North Pleasant
and south on North Pleasant street to
the intercepting creek. From this
point it is the plan to follow the bed
of the creek to the south and east
The plans do not include the closing
up Of the creek, but this will be kept
open for the carrying away of the
storm water.
The engineer has his plans in good
shape and he is hopeful that the con-
tract for this portion of the work can
be let by the first of August and this
would make possible the completion of
this portion of the sewer before the
beginning of the winter weather,

Postpone Ridge Street Paving.

The paving Of Ridge street, a pro-
posed asphalt pavement, was indefinite
y postponed on the report Of the
street assessment committee. A large
number Of the property owners who
had signed the original petition for the
paving of the street brought in re-
monstrance declaring that they had
signed for the pavement under mis-
representations. The committee held
that with the elimination of these
names from the petition it would not
have sufficient signers.
Christ Petersen was awarded the con-
tract for the paving Of South Chicago
street from Alarket Square to Park
Place and the contract for the compile
tion of the Lyman avenue sewer was
let to Andrew Thompson. Both jobs
are expected to be started at once.
The contract for the body for the new
3atrol wagon was let to the Peter
Pirsch Company, the bid of the com
pany being 5000. Under the plan Of
the council the completed wagon will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
This is a full 81 900 less than is being
paid for similar equipment in Milwau-
keo and other cities. It is expected
that the wagon will be installed be-
fore the first of August.
The street assessment committee
was ordered to ask for bids for the
connection Of the Park Row sewer
with the trunk sewer, the connection
to be made through the alley at the
west of the property owned by George
r. Pi1sch.
1t was midnight when the council
reached the consideration Of the under
ground wire ordinance, but the ordi-
nance was given it's first reading and
lit will probably be enacted into law
at the next meeting of the council.

Act on Street Vacation.

The council took formal action on
the ordinances providing for the vaea-
tom Of the stub ends of Cedar and Pine
streets and this action will open the
way for the opening Of Ashland
avenue to Caledonia street. 1t is ex-
pected that the street will be opened
within a fortnight, but before the
street will be ready for traffic it will
be necessary for bridge to be built
over Pike River. The building Of this
bridge is up to the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company and formal notice
to the company to build the bridge
will be served at the next meeting of
the council. 1t is the hope of the
council that the street will be opened
for traffic before the opening of the
winter No objection was made to the
vacation of either Of the stub ends Of
streets. This morning the n r. Allen
Company agreed to give to the city
property for the opening of the street.
Superintendent Daley of the North
western Railway Company was in Ke-
nosha on Monday afternoon and de-
clared that his company would take
immediate steps to remove the railway
tracks from the proposed new street.
In the opening of Ashland avenue the
council is carrying out project that
has been urged by people on both the
north and south sides of the city for
more than decade and it is carrying
out work which was declared to be
impossible by former councils. Under
the plan reached, largely through the
work of Mayor Head, the street is
opened with no cost to the AUDITING
property owners.

ing the fling Of further claims to the
next thirty DAYS.

NEW RESILIENT
AUTOMOBILE WHEEL

An Italian engineer has invented a.
process by which he claims that the
costliness and inconvenience of pneu-
matte tires for automobiles are abol-
ished, while all the advantages of
these tires are retained. The resil-
iency of the wheels is obtained by
pneumatic cushions arranged between1
the hub and the felly, so that the
driving force from the axle may be
communicated to the feliy through
these cushions. Lateral shocks are
absorbed by these cushions, it is
said, to greater extent than in
wheels provided with a single pneu-
matte tire on the outside. Accord
ing to an Italian periodical these
wheels were recently tested on six
scatter automobile and fully justified
the claims of the inventor, coming
successfully through tests of speed
running up to nearly 80 miles per
hour. Any local auto owner may set
a full description of this wheel with
photographs and drawing by max
ing a request for the same upon the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce
