COUNTY is INTERESTED.
Industrial Commission Awards 5000 to
Man Injured in Road Camp.

Kenosha county officials are taking
considerable interest in an order hand
ed down by the industrial commission
on Tuesday by which the officials of
Sank county were ordered to pay to
Mrs. Lottie Dorow the sum of $4,000
on account of the death of her husband,
John Dorow, who was killed by an ex-
plosion of dynamite while working at
road camp. The explosion was in no
way due to the work of the county of
ficials and it occurred after working
hours at camp maintained by the
county. The Kenosha officials are in
terested OIL account Of the possibility
that a similar claim may be made by
relatives of Henry Kramer, killed at
the village of Somers on July 5th. 1t
is asserted that Kramer at the time
of his death was not directly employed
by the county but was working for
an individual contractor. AS yet no
trace of the relatives of Kramer has
been found, but if it is seen that an
action for damages could be maintained
against the county there is little doubt
but that some relative will turn up.

PAY SEM|-M0NTHL
New Rule for Payment of
Employees of North West
ern Road Proves Popular
RAILWAY MEN TO SAVE MONEY

Employees Of the North Western road
are anx1ously awaiting the arrival of
the new pay day, which, from now on
is to be semi monthly instead of
monthly, as has been. the rule always in
the past.
Under the new state law, effective
July LIST last, the railroads and other
corporations in the state are obliged
to pay their men twice each month
instead of only monthly as has always
been the rule.
The employees therefore are waiting
eagerly for the change in plans which
becomes effective within the next
few days when their first semi monthly
pay checks arrive
Many of the men are pleased over
the change, while others are not so
jubilant.
We can save more money by get
ting it twice a month"; said one man.
Il prefer having it monthly for then
we get it in bunch and can use it
accordingly said another.
"The semi-monthly plan is far bet
ter for us because, by the monthly
plan, we have had to run bills and
everybody knows it is far more ex-
pensive to run accounts than to pay
cash for purchases, as will be the
case now that we have the money on
hand to do it with, said a third man.
Thus, it is case Of take your
choice" among the employees, some of
whom like the new plan, others being
found who prefer getting their pay all
at once.
The railroads and others lose money
under the new plan. In the past they
have always had employees money on
hand for about six weeks. This was
possible through holding back two
weeks pay and then paying by the
month Now they have to pay semi
monthly and all the time they can
hold the employees money is just that
period consumed in making up the
pay-rolls. Under the old plan, a
huge payroll held for six weeks
meant considerable in the matter of
interest.

FOLLOWS PAINTERS FROM CELL
Man Managed to Get Away Before the
Fact That He Had Left the Cell was
Discovered by the Officials and a
coun sy-wide Chase is on For Him.
(From Wednesday S Daily

.
Philip Kastnake, held at the county
jail pending trial on charges of burg
larry, escaped from the jail this morn
ins and is now at large with deputies
searching all portions of the county
and in surrounding cities in an effort
to get some trace of him. Kastnake
is supposed to have slipped out of the
county bastile some time between ten
and eleven O'Clock.
Painters have been at work repaint-
ing the interior of the cell room and
as there were few prisoners in the Jail
they were all placed in the large cage
in the center of the building. Just how
Kastnake made his get away is not APP
parent. During the morning the paint
ers We're going in and out of the diff
ferent departments of the jail and it
is supposed that the alleged burglar
saw his chance and slipped out with
INC VI 1hS PetAheOio anu HlduG SOOu HIS
escape before his absence was noticed
by the officials.
kastnake was arrested last Saturday
noon charged with the burglary of the
saloon of Joe Dark on Milwaukee
avenue. The case against him was
strong one and when the man was ar
raigned in the court he admitted the
charges against him and declared that
he was willing to plead guilty" lie
seemed to have horror Of serving
time in the county Jail and he declar-
ed to Judge Randall at the time of the
hearing that if he was left in jail he
would hang himself. Judge Randall
fixed his bail pending the adjourned
hearing at 81 500 and he returned to
Jail. He had been restless ever since
he reached the Jail, but he had given
the officials no reason to believe that
he would make an effort to escape and
had sought to be employed at any work
that could be found about the jail.
This morning Kastnake watched the
painters at work and he did not show
any aversion to jail sentence.
As soon as it was discovered that
Kastnake had escaped deputy sherirs
were sent to Waukegan and Racine and
others were sent out into the county
in automobiles with orders to pick up
any one who answered the description
of the escaped prisoner. Kastnake
had been in Kenosha for some time,
but he had spent much of his time
about saloons and The police knew lit
tie in regard to him. Every possible
effort will be made to secure him be-
fore the day of the hearing of the case
which is set for next Tuesday.

COMPLETE ROAD THIS WEEK.
North Shore Concrete Road is Nearing
Completion-Will Soon be Opened.

Kenosha county's first permanently
improved rural highway will be opened
for traffic within the next two weeks
as it is announced by the county of
icials this morning that the work
of constructing the fourteen foot
concrete. roadway on the north lake
shore road will be completed by
the end Of the present week. The
road will be forty-two hundred feet in
length. The funds provided for the
road did not make it possible to COM
plete the 1900 feet originally contracted
for. The concrete has now been laid
for distance of 1000 feet and this
portion of the road is now being
sprinkled with water daily and it will
be ready to turn over to the travelling
public within week. The new road
is said TO be entirely satisfactory, not
only to the highway officials, but also
to the property owners along the route
of it. The road will extend to point
beyond the st. George cemetery
grounds.

INITIATE LARGE CLASS.
New Camp of Sons of Veterans Re-
ceive Additions to Membership.


Tuesday evening was red letter
night for the local camp of the Sons
Of Veterans. At their meeting at G..
A. r. Hall class of eleven candidates
were given the rites of the order. The
camp was instituted in April of this
year with about thirty members. The
muster roll contained one hundred and
seven names and the meeting last even
ing was an effort toward having all
who had signed the muster roll duly
obligated before the charter roll is
closed At the present time there are
seventy three obligated and another eff
fort is being made to bring in a large
class for the next meeting, August 5.
The officers of Racine camp are to be
invited to take charge of the initiatory
work at the next meeting and at that
time the charter will be closed. The
camp is making a strong bid for first
place IN the state, IN size OF charter
roll, as Baraboo has the largest camp
with one hundred and fifteen members
and the boys are determined that Ke-
nosha shall outdistance this number.
The candidates who were initiated
were, Postmaster r. v. Baker, Judge
Geo. w. Taylor, Clerk of the Court B.
M. DeDeimar, R. M. Holderness, E. A.
Jackson, II. A. Thompson, Phil Har
man, Jr., L. J. Gilbert, H. F. Schwartz,

SEEKING TRIBE OF GYPsIEs
Little Catherine Winters, kidnapped
from Newcastle, Ind, Months Ago is
Said to be in Kenosha County-Local
Officials have no Clew to Whereabouts

Detectives from Chicago are follow
ing a network Of trails all over
Kenosha county today in an effort to
get some trace of little Catherine Win
tiers, daughter of prominent physi-
clan at Newcastle, Ind, who was kid
mapped from the Winters home III the
Indiana city many months ago and
who is now declared to be somewhere
in Kenosha county. Four of the Chi
cage detectives came to Kenosha on
the first train this morning and start
ed west from the city in automobiles.
The local officials have not been ad-
vised as to the facts in the case and
they declare that they are ignorant
of any cleW to the solution of the long
standing mystery being found in this
county. Rewards totaling several
thousand dollars have been offered by
the state of Indiana for the recovery
of the girl and the local police and
deputies have their ears to the ground
and will make an effort to find the
girl if anything turns up to give them
a clew to her present whereabouts.
1t was alleged at the time that the
girl was taken from her home that
she was taken by band Of gypsies
and this band Of gypsies has been
trailed from one end Of the country
to the other. More than a month ago
it was alleged that the gypsies were
in camp in the neighborhood of Lake
Zurich in Illinois, but when the detec-
tives reached this point they had fold
ed up their tents and disappeared and
since that time no trace Of the band
had been found It is thought posi-
BILE that the new clew has led to the
location of the gypsies in this county
In order to be on the alert the chief
of police this morning sent out tele-
phone messages to various parts Of the
county asking for information in re-
gard to the presence of any band Of
rovers but returns from the different
towns failed to indicate that any one
answering the description of the Win
tiers child had been seen in the county.
1t is just possible that the chase in
to Kenosha county is another wild
goose chase similar to scores Of others
that have been followed by the detec-
tives from Chicago in hopes of win
ming the big rewards, but information
from Chicago seems to indicate that
the officers have pretty good reason to
believe that the girl has been, If she
is not at this time, somewhere in Kc-
nosha county. There are scores Of lit
tie camps along the lakes of the
county and it is just possible that in
one of these camps the little girl may
be kept in hiding.
The report Of the coming Of the de-
tectives caused quite stir among the
local officials and it is certain that they
will do everything in their power to
aid in clearing up the long standing
MYSTERY

Is YARD men join STRIKERS
Men Submit New Scale of Prices and
Other Demands to Managers of Big
Plant This Morning and Further
Conferences will be held Later in Day

Strike conditions at the plant Of the
Simmons Manufacturing Company re-
manned unchanged today. The men
employed in the foundry of the plant
who walked out on Tuesday morning
are still out and the ranks of the
strikers have been swelled by twenty
five men employed as helpers about the
yards of the plant who went out late
Tuesday afternoon. No effort has been
made to bring general strike at the
plant and other departments are work
ing full time with no reason to believe
that any dissatisfaction on conditions
exists.
Several conferences have been held
between the strikers and the employers
but as yet no settlement Of the differ
ences has been made AS yet the
managers of the company have made
no proposition to the strikers. This
morning committee from the men,
after holding a long conference at
Columbia Hall, presented to the com
pany statement of their demands.
These included changed schedule in
prices for the foundry work on certain
beds made and demands for other reg
ulations as to hours of work. The
formal demand was not made public by
the company or by the strikers, but it
was stated that a fegmal statement
would be given cut on Thursday cover
ing every demand made by the strikers
and the counter propositions offered
by the company. The company still
maintains its willingness to arbitrate
any difference that may exist.
1t has ordered prepared a statement
showing just what has been earned by
the men now on strike during the past
few months and it is declared by Sup.
erintendent Rudd that this statement
will show that the men are being paid
wages in keeping with those paid by
any competing company.
Members of the striking force sent
representatives to the News Office this
morning and these representatives were
invited to present a statement Of their
side Of the controversy. This has not
as yet been furnished, bit it is ex-
pected that it will be submitted on
Thursday.
There has been absolutely no disor-
der about the factory and the men
on strike seem to be perfectly willing
to discuss their demands in an orderly
maner. A conference is scheduled this
afternoon and it is possible that an
agreement by which the men vii. re-
turn to work will be reached at this
time.

cape from Injury i'll Racine Tuesday.
Three we'll known Kenosha men,
Louis Plous, Dr.. VI. A. Bernstein and
DR.. Russakov, had narrow escape
from serious injury III an automobile
collision which took place at the corn
er Of Fourteenth and Villa streets in
Racine late Thursday afternoon. The
car in which the Kenoslla men were
riding was owned by Mr.. Plous and q
car owned by Hanley Brothers Of Ra-
cine and driven by fifteen year old
boy, crashed into it badly damaging
both Of the ears. Fortunately none Of
the Kenosha men was thrown IRON
the automobile, but all of them are
nursing slight bruises as a result of
the terrible akeup that followed the
collision Mr.. Plous and his friends
had spent an hour in Racine and were
on their way to Kenosha when the
accident occurred. They were running
south on Villa street and the car driv-
en- by Young Hanley was coming from
the east on Fourteenth street. At the
corner the chauffeur Of the Plous car
saw that it was impossible to prevent
a collision and he, swerved his car to
the west. Young Hanley seems to have
last his head completely and he ran
directly into the rear of the Plous
car. The axle Of the car was badly
bent and the fenders broken. The
Hanley car Jared even worse. Plous
and his guests managed to reach Ke-
ncsha in the disabled car, but it is now
in the shop for repairs.

SMOKING COMMENT HEARD IN
VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE CITY

Birmingham citizens in reference to
the smoke ordinance are becoming ep-
igrammatic, even as they are already
unanimously against 1t on account of
its alleged impracticability.
In a bunch yesterday afternoon were
John L. Parker, W. M. Drennen and
A. w. Nelson. Each of these gentlemen
has attained certain indefinite age
In spite of the smoke which infests
the city---and each, incidentally, has
had experience in the matter of gov
ernment
Said Mr.. Parker: Give us more bus
mess; smoke Will take care of it
self
Said Mr.. Drennen: Until we elimin-
ate the germ disseminating dust, let
the gernless smoke alone"
Said Mr.. Nelson: Il viii agree to toll
crate the smoke IL the city will ar
range it so that en- account of the
mud / will not have to employ a ball

BILL TO PROHIBIT

>-~~~~~~>>~-~~-~--~~--
indignites from some crank or fanatic
who simply makes the allegation that
he believes that the shipments of liquor
coming to him are for purposes Illegal.
The result is, that rather than take the
risk or publicity, and unpleasant COM
plications he will refrain from ordering
any liquor at all. and is thus deprived,
to that extent. of his personal liberty. :.
Indeed it is charged that the promoters
of the law have had this very idea in
mind. and that through itimidation by
threats of publicity, in dry communities,
they hope to put a stop to any shipments
whatever, for private purposes or other
wise.
1t is quite evident however. that the
law will pass. The national Legislators
seem to have made up their minds that il
a state or county passes prohibitory
law that it is the duty of the national
government to aid them in making that
law effective rather than to give aid and
succor to those who scheme to violate 1t
and tear it down. The wholesaler in one
state frequently aids In many ways his
customer in another state who Is engaged
in Illegal sale of whisky, and he rests
secure and immune protected by the laws
of his state, and is yet engaged in aid
ing and abeuing the violation of the law
in some other community.
Verify the uninterrupted passage to a
highball is becoming more and more diff
cult every day.
