HOTTEST NIGHT IN CITY.
People of Kenosha Swelter in Heat
When Lake Breeze Takes Vacation

Tuesday night was the hottest night
ever known in Kenosha. At any rate
the memory of the oldest citizen fails
to recall any time when the weather
reached the limit reached then. The
mercury in the thermometer stood at
81 degrees at midnight last night aud
the lake breeze was evidently away
on vacation as much of the earlier
part Of the night there was not a
breath of air stirring. The effect of
the hot weather was everywhere ap-
parent. The small parks along the
lake shore were thronged with people
but it was almost as hot at the lake
as it was in the western part of the
city. The lake breeze returned to work
early this morning and the weather
man promises colder weather for this
afternoon and Thursday.

sPINA SAYS DON'T CARE
italian Charged with Shooting Officer
Declares That He is Not Interested
in Disposition of His Case-Friends
Fail to Seek His Release.

John Cyzak, the wounded Kenosha
police officer, is comfortable in the st.
Mary's Hospital in Racine, but it will
be several weeks before he is able to
be back in Kenosha. He had slight
temperature this morning and physi-
clans are watching the case very close
ly fearing a possible development of
blood poisoning Cyzak is ravenously>
hungry, but tie physicians have allow.
ed him but little nourishment as they
fear that any large amount of nour-
ishment at this time might prove
hurtful to him.
On Monday afternoon Chief of Po-
lice O'Hare, Officer Feldschau and
Judge G. E. Randall went to Racine
and spent an hour with Cyzak getting
his story of the shooting The story
does not in any way differ from the
printet reports of the battle at the
Brockett street house. 1t is probable
that the statement of Cyzak will be
reduced to writing today. The of
icials do not see any danger of Cyzak
dying from his wound, but they de-
sire to be on the safe side. Members
Of the family of the wounded officer
were permitted 10 sec niIE in the hos
pital for the first time on Monday and
their coming did much to put him in
better spirits. Cyzak is anxious to
come to his home here, but the physi-
clans have absolutely refused to per.
NIT his being moved until his wound
has had a chance to heal.
Frank Spina held at the city lookup
on charge of shooting the officer,
has shown no desire for a hearing in
court. Spina has assumed a "don't
care" attitude and he declared on
Monday that he did not care when he
was given hearing or what he was
charged with. ct wouldn It care if
you had shot me,o he said to one of
the officers. 81 am no good any
way" No effort has been made by
the friends of Spina to secure his re-
lease from Jail and no effort has been
made to secure an attorney to defend
him when he appears in court.
Chief o Hare and his men are MAX
ing an effort to get some line On the
former life of Spina and detectives
connected with the Chicago force have
been asked to make an effort to find
some facts in regard to his life be-
fore coming to Kenosha. The police
here believe that Spina has criminal
record and they will make every effort
to uncover it before he is brought to
trial on charges of shooting Officer
Cyzak.

of ga over the first days enrolment
in 1912, and 1856 more than that in
1911.
As all the children Of compulsory
school age are not accounted for, it is
probable that this number will grow
during this week. The schools are
ming regularly today and children
should be promptly enrolled in order
that they may have an even start
with others.
People are asked to report by phone
to the superintendent all children of
school age seen loose upon the streets.

making fifteen schools in this building.
There are also fifteen schools in the
Columbus district, where it was found
necessary to rent the chapel at the
corner Of Rowland and Salem avenues.
Inc Columbus is twelve room build.
ing, hence it has again been necessary
to use the two basement rooms.
The number enrolled in the high
school is 339, which is an increase of
q over last year and 81 over the en-
rollment on the first day in 1911.
The enrolment is not yet complete and
will not be for several days.
The continuation school which will
be housed this year at the Deming
school had three full classes yesterday.
Glasses for the other days of the week

Carnival Strikes a Snag.

The proposed Moose carnival struck
"a snag when the petition for a license
for it came before the council. 1t de-
veloped that it was proposed to hold
the week show On the lot just south
of the Balm school and the members
of the council refused to consider the
proposition. A committee of the
Moose appeared before the council and
declared that the lodge had contracts
with the carnival company, but the
council refused to grant the permits
sion, The matter was finally referred
to the judiciary committee with power
to act provided the carnival company
secured another site for the location
Of the shows. This committee will
take the matter up with the lodge
committee later.
The annual report of the water com
mission for the year was presented.
1t showed receipts for the year total
ly more than $4,000 and of this there
was net profit to the city of more
than $1,000.
The city acted favorably on the de-
mand Of the industrial board of edu-
cation for an appropriation of $4,000
for the operation of the continuation
schools for next year and this amount
will be added to the tax levy.
The city attorney was ordered to
proceed al once to prepare an ordinance
to set aside the first residence district
in Kenosha under the new law. This
district will include that portion of
Exchange street between Deming street
and Park Row and the same portion
of Durlee avenue and Park avenue
This ordinance will be presented to the
council at its next regular meeting.
The council rescinded its action in
closing up the saloon at the corner of
Park and Church streets and license
for this place was granted to Joseph
Roetz. The aldermen refused to re-
open the question of granting IL
cense for the Academy on Wisconsin
street.
There was the usual amount of rou-
tine business before the council, the
meeting proving a decidedly extended
one.

MANY SIGNED BOTH PETITIONS
Committee on Judiciary is Instructed to
Make an Examination and Report as
to Duplication of Signatures May
Take Action at the Next Meeting.


annexation Of the large tract of ter
ritory to the south and west of the
city developed at the meeting of the
common council on Monday night and
almost without debate the members Of
the council without division decided to
lay the whole matter over until the
next regular meeting. This action was
taken on account Of grave legal ques-
tlons raised in connection with the
conflict of petitions.
The judiciary committee which had
considered the original petition which
asked the annexation of all property
from the lake to the .Rategan road af-
ter twice considering the petition,
brought in a report recommending
that all Of the property be annexed,
but before this report was prese nsGd
the new petitions asking for the an
nexation of the tract of land lying
between Park avenue and the west
limit named in the original petition
had been formally presented to the
council and had been referred to the
judiciary committee. Mayor Head
held that with this petition formally
IN the hands Of tne coasfncil II would be
out of order to act on the report Of
the committee on the original petition.
The question was raised that the fact
that more than a majority Of the peo-
pie who had signed the original petit
ton had also signed the second petit
ton and that the second signature
would invalidate the original petition.
This question was put up to the city
attorney and he insisted that he was
not just clear on the law in the mat
ter and he asked that he be given time
to investigate. Little effort was made
to rush action on the annexation as
the aldermen feared that any hurried
action might result in the entire mat
ter being killed by this technicality.
The short discussion of the matter
indicated that all the members Of the
council We're in favor of the annexa-
ton of the property to the west of
Park avenue. Scores of people owning
property in the territory were present
at the meeting, but there was no fren-
zied oratory, either on the part of the
aldermen or on the part of the prop
erty owners. Alderman Mueller of the
Judiciary committee declared that
while his committee had known Of the
existence of the second petition. it
had not been able to take any formal
action on it until after it had been
received by the council and referred
to his committee.
The men who have urged the second
petition had taken care to explain to
the property owners that the signing
of this petition by majority of the
signers of the original petition would
invalidate that petition and there has
been no effort to take advantage Of
any technicality in the matter.
Between now and the next regular
meeting the committee on judiciary
and the city attorney will make
careful comparison of the names on
the two petitions and at the next meet
ing of the council the decks should be
cleared for action. If the committee
report in favor of the annexation Of
the property the ordinances may be
passed and the property taken into
the city before the first of December.

ABANDON BREAKWATER PLANS
Contractor Wade Turns Over His Con-
tract for Paving Grand Avenue to G.
Petersen Construction Company
May Put Wires Under Ground.

The city council had the hottest
meeting in its history on Tuesday
night for with the thermometer in the
council chamber registering 81 de-
grees the members of that body
wrestled with city problems for near
ly four hours Monday night and at the
end Of the long session the perspiring
aldermen were all but exhausted. Eff
forts were made to make clean up
of lot of matters which had been
before the council, but little real pro-
gress was made.
The ordinance providing for the
clearing up Of the railway situation in
the city was given its first reading and
it will lbe further considered at a meet
ing Of the council to be held later in
the month. Before the franchise ordi-
nance comes up for final consideration
it will be published in the Evening
News for fourteen times, thus giving
every one interested chance to know
just what is contained in the ordi-
nance. It is thought that the ordi-
nance will pass the council without
opposition. The special committee in
charge Of the work has sought dill
gently to get all Of the misunderstand-
ings between the city and the company
cleared up and it is thought that this
ordinance has accomplished this end.
The formal surrender by the company
Of it's rights to build lines on North
Ashland avenue and Caledonia street
was presented to the council and ac-
cepted and adopted without division
Of the aldermen. This was demanded
by the committee before the formal
ordinance was considered.

Breakwater Plan Abandoned.

The long delayed report Of the com
mittee on harbor and breakwater in
regard to the plan Of securing a
brea kwater and park for the north
end of Lake avenue, was presented to
the council. The report held that the
people in the district east of Milwau-
kee avenue had shown an active OPP
position TO any plan for the building
of breakWater and that spectators
had bought up the property sought by
the city with view of realizing large
profits by selling it to the city. The
committee voiced its regret that the
plan could not DE carried out, but
recommended that all action taken by
the council to raise money by bonds
to build the breakwater be rescinded
and that the city let contracts for the
building Of a protection at the end of
Howe street to be built at once. This
will mean an expenditure for the city
