JUDGE BELDEN HERE FRIDAY.
To Make an Effort to Clear the Calen-
dar in Kenosha.

Judge e. B. Belden will come TO
Kenosha ON Friday morning and at
this time an effort viii be made to
clear the day calendar of the court.
The calendar contains several cases,
including that of Kneip against the
city of Kenosha and that of the Mil
Yankee avenue property owners against
the Interurban Railway Company
The Kneip case is the first SET for trial
and if it takes up the entire day it IS
probable that the railway case will
have to go over again as Saturday IS
a legal holiday and no hearings will
be set for that day. In addition to
the two cases mentioned it is expected
that the court will take up the hear
ing Of a number Of divorce cases.
Half dozen mismated couples have
cases pending in court and the attor-
neys will seek to dispose of these. It
is not expected that any of the cases.
for divorce will be contested.

LITTLE ICE ON Lake.

Boats on West Shore Have Had Little
Trouble to Contend With This Winter.
Marine men claim that there has
been less ice on the west shore Of Lake
Michigan this winter than in many
years before. Not once have the line
boats been delayed and fishing tugs
only lost time when the weather was
stormy. One the east shore the condi-
tons are different. For miles and
miles the Ice is piled up in windows
from twenty to thirty feet high. The
steamer Nyack OF the Crosby line, IS
reported surrounded by ice. and that
all efforts to release the craft have
failed. The steamer Conestego is Ia
the same fix. Passengers have left
the ships and walked ashore on tie
ice. Fears have been entertained that
the boats might be crushed by the ice
and sink, meeting the same fate of the
Michigan, which in 1884 was crushed
and went Down.

1t was noted that while the State
Highway Commissioner gave no ink
ling of the probable decision Of the
state committee on the South Park
avenue case at the hearing held on
last Saturday, he quietly insisted that
the commission was supreme in the
matter and that it was the be-
lief Of the commission that what
ever decision the commissioner might
make, it would be upheld by the
courts. This was in reply to the
argument Of one of the attorneys
that the commission was deba1red
at this late day from taking the South
Park avenue road out Of the county
highway system because the state had
once consented to the Improvement Of
this road, money had been accepted
from private sources and taxes levied
for that purpose. In other words, the
acceptance of county system by the
highway commission is merely mat
ter of form and does not mean any
thing in particular, the commission
reserving the right to change its mind
at any Sime. This is one Of the points
in the state aid law that cannot be
settled too soon for e the contention
of the commission that its action is
not binding in any way is upheld
and it is admitted that some lawyers
believe it would be if an appeal was
made to the courts under the law as
it stands-those property owners who
propose to help along the good roads
movement in the state by forcing the
improvement of the highways adjoin-
ing their property by subscribing funds
for Improvement work are facing a
discouraging situation.

MAYOR HAS AN AL|BI
Mayor Head Ready to Show
That He Could Not Have
Caused Racine Accident
WRONG NUMBER the CAUSE

Mixing of numbers is a bad thing
some times and the failure of a firm
of lawyers to know that Wisconsin
issued automobile numbers every year
came near getting Mayor Dan Head
of Kenosha in wrong with the courts
of the city of Racine. The mayor a
few days ago received a letter from a
firm of Milwaukee lawyers notifying
him thai he had run down a little Girl
with an automobile and that the par
ents of the girl residing in Racine had
demanded satisfaction. The letter
stated that the accident occurred on
the 9TH of February and the mayor
got busy and found that he had per-
feet alibi not only for himself, but al
so for his automobile. The mayor was
in Chicago and the automobile was in
fthe factory at the time. However, the
letter from the Milwaukee attorneys
declared that it was the automobile
NAACA pOlO GuC uuulDCt tOt budU
had run down the little girl in Racine.
The mayor went out took look at
the number on his car and found that
it was combination Of three SKIES
and a two and he promptly notified
the lawyers that they had made an
error in picking their man to sue. The
attorneys found that they had looked
at the 1912 list Of state numbers in
stead Of the numbers of the present
year. The mayor is further able to
prove his alibi by the fact that the
old numbers for his machine are safe
ly stored in the executive garage on
Prairie avenue. However, the man
who has No. 737 for 1913 is in for it
and he will probably be sued for the
mi l1ies to the little girl. The story
on the mayor was going the rounds
of the city last night and some Of the
tales told insisted that the little girl
had been killed. The mayor desires
that he be set right.

ECHO OF OLD FIGHT.
County May be Sued FOR Collection of
Former Highway Commission S Bill.

County May be Sued FOR Collection of
Former Highway Commission S Bill.
An echo of the long drawn out eff
fort on the part Of the county board
to secure settlement Of the highway
bills contracted during the past year
was heard in the clerks Office this
morning when representatives of the
Waukesha Lime and Stone Company
came to Kenosha and made formal de-
mand upon the clerk for the payment
of 1913 alleged to have oeen due the
company for stone purchased by Com
missioner Williams last year. The
company was advised that the county
board made no provisions for the pay
ment Of this bill 1t is possible that
the former commissioner and the
county will both be named as defer
dants in suit for the collection Of
the amount. 1t is probable that
other bills outstanding will be treat
ed in q similar manner.

DIRECTORS PAY HIGH TRIBUTE
Express Deep Regret in Loss of Miss
CottreI Who has Worked Out Entire
Plan for Organization in Kenosha-
To Leave the City the First Of April.

MISS Louise C0JCrell, 10f bHe past
two years general secretary and officer
in charge of the work of the AsSo-
ciated Charities in Kenosha resigned
her position on Monday evening when
she notified committee of the board
Of directors that she would ask to be
relieved from her work in Kenosha on
the first of April. Miss Cottrell has
taken a great interest in the work in
Kenosha and she told the members of
the committee that she would remain
in the position until they could secure
a successor, but that she was hopeful
that she would be able to leave Keno
sha at the date stated in the resigna-
ton. She gave no cause for her re-
tirement from the work in Kenosha.
President George Allen of the or
ganization stated this morning that
the resignation had been accepted, with
many regrets on the part of the board
Of directors, but that an effort would
be made at once to secure some per-
son of long experience IN this work to
take the place Of Miss Cottrell.
Nearly all of the activities of the
Associated Charities in kenosha and
it has been a very active organization
cepters about the work and the insplr-
alton given by the retiring secretary.
Miss Cottrell came to Kenosha with
the organization of the "Charities
after a long experience in similar
work in Chicago and she at once plac-
ed the organization in Kenosha on a
working basis. No one in Kenosha is
better acquainted with how the other
half lives In her work she has TAX
en- into consideration every phase Of
the question of caring for the poor
Of the city and she has gone into
hundreds of families and has sought to
teach the lesson Of self support instead
of dependence. Miss Cottrell has in
tSItStoQ u6ISclI Ill WUIh IUI buc Ueb-
terment of the young girls Of the city;
she has taken an interest in the care
Of neglected children and has been in,
strumental in bringing parents who
failed to do their duty toward their
children into the courts. At her sug-
gestion children have found new homes
and children for whom homes could
not be found in the city were sent
to the state schools. The expense of
operating the Associated Charities IN
der the direction of Miss Cottrell has
not been large and all connected with
the institution have held that an I'M
usually large amount Of work has been
done with small amount Of money.
The directors of the association will
avail themselves of the offer of Miss
Cottrell and she will be left in charge
of the work until such time as a
wholly competent leader can be Sc
| c lred.
