kenosha Manufacturers APP
pear to Protest Against
Hull Bill at Madison.
SAY IT is UNFAIR TO PLANTS

Kenosha manufacturers had repre-
sentatives at Madison on Wednesday
afternoon TO appear before the judi
ciary committee of the assembly and
protest against the recommendation
foI passage of the bill introduced by
Speaker Hull, known as the "anti
discrimination law The bill prohi-
bits the purchase or sale of commodi-
ties in any section of the state at a
lower prise than in any other section
with a view of destroying competi-
ton. 1t is claimed that the law is di-
rected especially against lumber and
Kenosha manufacturers are deeply in
terested IN it on this account. Atto1-
ney Chester D. Barnes appeared be-
fore the committee on behalf of the
Kenosha manufacturers and made a
long argument against the recommen-
dation of the bill. The bill was also

opposed by r. 7. Emmerson, lepresent-
ing the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Milwaukee and by At
torney Quarles who appeared in the
interests of Ike lumber companies in
Milwaukee and in other sections Of
the state. The manufacturers have
suggested several amendments to the
law if it is to be recommended for
passage, but as yet the committee has
not decided to take any action on
the bill.

Merlin Hull of the assembly, support.

Oil Company was the father of dis.
criminatory tactics to kill competition
and that combines of creameries, ele-
vators, lumber barons and potato buy
ers had followed the same tactics in
this state, resulting in great injury to
many communities.
Assemblyman George Carpenter of
Baraboo spoke in favor of the bill and
introduced potato buyers Of Lodi, La

district to tell of their experience with.

not ready to make any proposition to
the city committee. Mr.. Theirs will
leave the first of the week for New
York to take up the matter with the
board of directors of the Central
Leather Company and he has promised
to give some response in tie matter
before the first meeting of the com
mon council in March. It is certain
that the company regards the opening
Of the street as very important mat
ter from the view point of the n. R.
Aliens Sons Company.
In connection with the discussion of
the opening of the avenue the ques-
tion of Strengthening Main street and
changing the location of the Main
street bridge was also taken up and it
is expected that the company will have
some proposition to make in regard to
this proposed Improvement. A petition
asking that the street be changed back
to its original lines will be laid be-
fore the council at an early meeting
and this has been signed by many Of
the leading property owners on Main
street. 1t is admitted that the cost
Of this change will b in the neighbour
hood of 100000, but it is said that
some of the men most vitality interest
ed in the plan have scheme for rails
ing at least part of the money need
ed. The Allen company is vitally in
terested in this change in the street
as it will have considerable effect on
the dock properties of the company.
It is understood that the United States
government engineers would not be
opposed to change in the street lines

to keep the harbor open and bridge

GIVE COLONIAL PARTY.
Members of Girls Guild Of Congrega.
tional Church Entertain.

Memories of other days, the days of
grandmother IS wedding and grand
mothers first party were recalled at
the parlors of the First Congregation
al Church on Friday evening when the
Girls Guild of the church entertained
at a Colonial party. In order to make
the party success attics and old
trunks in many homes in Kenosha
were searched and as a result many
gowns worn way back in the ante
bellum days were brought out to be
worn by the young women who be-,
longed to the guild. There were quaint
old gowns which had been worn by
grandmothers in Kenosha forty, fifty
and even seventy years ago and there
were ribbons and furbelows and old
lace which had been used as orna
ments way back in the days before
Southport was a village Some of the
dresses were wonderfully wrought by
the hands Of mothers and grand
mothers and many Of them recalled So
cial events which had taken place in
Kenosha fifty years ago. The coming
back of the old gowns gave the girls
Of today a chance to see just how
their mothers and grandmothers had
dressed. The Colonial party proved a
great attraction and very large
crowd Of the members and friends of
the congregation responded to the in
vitations. The evening was VERY,
pleasant one. There was music and
games and dainty luncheon was
served at the close of the evening.
The party proved to be one of the
most enjoyable events ever given by
the young women of the church.

COOPER WRITES LETTER
Informs Relatives of Missing Man That
Man Found Was Physician Search
For Missing Engineer to be Contin-
ued by the Government officials.

Hope that the long standing mystery
attending the disappearance OF An
thony Schaefer, a former Kenosha light
house assistant and later an engineer
in the navy, had been solved by the
finding Of man by this name in the
interior of Honduras has been blasted
by the receipt of letter from Congress
man III. A. Cooper, addressed to Charles
A. Tarbell, who had taken the matter
up for Mrs. Victoria Schaefer, the
mother Of the missing Kenosha man.
In his letter, Congressman Cooper de-
clsres that the man found was a prac-
ticing physician, and that he could not
have been the lost son of the Kenosha
woman. In his letter Congressman
Cooper says:
~ am in receipt Of your letter rela-
hive to dispatch from Consul Culm,
Of Ceiba, Honduras, reporting to the
State Department here that two Amer
leans Schaefer and Toilette, who were
reported lost in the interior of Hon
sluras, have been found alive and well,
and the desire Of Mrs. Schaefer of Ke-
nosha, mother of Anthony Schaefer, en-
gineer, reported missing from the U. s..
3. Des Moines at Colon, in 1909, to
know if the Schaefer referred to in the
dispatch was her lost son.
'EUpon inquiry at the State Depart
ment, [ was informed That the Schaefer
referred to is DR.. John Schaefer, rep
resentative of the American CONNER
cial Company, who had not been heard
from since December last. Evidently
he is not the son of the Mrs. Schaefer
residing in your city. Call on me when
j can be of service to you.
"Yours very truly,
EfHenry Allen Cooper
Friends of Schaefer will at once APP
peal to the War Department to have
them continue the search for the miss
ing man. They still believe that Schae-
fer was taken aboard some foreign yes.
sci when he disappeared at Colon in the
Panama Canal zone on November 9th,
1909. 1t is probable that Mrs. Schae-
fer win apply at once to the department.
for pension, claiming that her son
was killed while in service. If such an
application is made the government will
undoubtedly redouble its efforts to find
something further as to the fate of the
missing man.

There were four hundred bottles Of
