Voters to Decide if Mayor
Peavey is to be Retained
Charles Peterson Lysager is
the Candidate to Oppose
Mr.. Peavey.

On next Thursday, June 5th, the
voters of the city of Wash
burn will have an opportunity of de-
Gliding whether or not Mayor H. HI.
Peavey shall be retained in Office, a
recall election having been called for
that day. Charles Peterson Lysager,
the west end business man. will make
the run against Mr.. Peavey and the
election will decide if the people
want a change or want the present
mayor retained.
Although the election is but week
away there seems to be very little
outward interest in the campaign, yet
it is said that the voters have been
giving the matter a good deal of
thought and study and that there
will be good vote out on election
day.
The recall election was brought
about by petition which was present.
ed to the council some time ago, con-
tanning the names of 191 voters Of the
city, asking for the recall of Mayor
H. H. Peavey. A petition asking
for the recall of Alderman Hans
Ambly was also presented to the
council and one for the recall of Al
derman George Fluck was also in cir
culation. In the case of the petition
Of Hans Ambly the City Attorney
ruled that the law in regard to the
recall of an alderman was faulty and
that signers equal in number to at
least one third of the votes cast in
the city at the last general election
must be obtained to this petition and
this number must be obtained from
Mr.. Ambly's ward. This of course
was an impossibility and the petition
against both aldermen was dropped
but it is said that the petition will be
taken up again as soon as the law has
been amended.
A special meeting of the common
council was called by Mayor Peavey
at which the petition for his recall
was taken up and an election was
ordered for Thursday, June 5th,
The voters who signed the recall
petition and who will help to carry it
through at electioir time, believe that
the affairs of the city have not been
conducted in the best way during the
past year and are desirous ofa change.
They hope to secure it through the
recall. On the other hand friends of
Mr.. Peavey, while admitting that
some mistakes have been made, be-
lieve that the present administration
has been doing good work.
Mayor H. H. Peavey. since Janu-
ary, has been spending most of his
time at Madison where he has been
acting as a member of the ASSEMBLY
for Bayfield, County, and he has been
giving very little interest to the
present campaign. Charles Peterson
Lysager, the opposing candidate is
likewise doing little to further his
candidacy and the campaign will be a
cleanly conducted one and there will
be few "sore spets" after it is over,
so far as these two candidates are
concerned.
Both men are widely known
throughout the city, having been be-
fore the voters number of times.
AS this is one of the first recall
elections attempted in the state since
the law was passed in 1911, the
election which will be held here mex
Thursday is attracting a good deal OF
attention.

Out on the Stage.

We we're afraid to start them on
the stage together from one side.
So BeuIah took Buster around to
the left and I had Billy on the
right, where they could see each
other across the stage. And while
the father and mother were doing
the tango we started the kids out
on their artistic career.
When they toddled out in front
of the footlights there was a great
hush fell on the audience, then a
roar Of delight went up that shook
the star pangled dome.
1t stopped the tango. and near
ly busted the show But the ac-
tors were equal to the occasion.
Each grabbed up a kid and went

"A sas City. 1 divided headliner
honors with Beulah Poyn-
ter. I occupied the eighth spot
in a ten-act program, not count
ing the moving pictures, which
were used as a chaser.
Number seven was taken by a
black face act. There was a man
and his wife and a helper. The
wife made up as an octoroon,
dressing her part with exquisite
grace. She sang, danced and add
ed a becoming dash of polite COM
edy to the bill.

And the funny part was that
she had two little boys-babies,
in faet-one aged two and the
other not much older, One they
called Billy and the other was
Buster.
When the mother went on she
left the babies in the care of an
oil black nanny, a sure enough
eolored person. otherwise those
babies. would have crawled up
stairs ad waddled out on the stage
and performed a little act of their
own.
But it was not long before there
were volunteer nurses, for Beu-

held Buster in her motherly arms
and l did as much for Billy.
Then it was that Beulah had a
big thought come to her all at
once out of the sky blue painted
ceiling of that wonderful Garden
Theater, where the stars twinkle
even at the matinees.
Here is the plot-and Beulah
nearly fell over herself with gig
glesome glee as she tried to ex-
plain the idea to me. Here it is:
We would send the nurse out on
an errand, while the act went on,
Beulah and / would black up the
two little kids and send them out
on the stage as the "Pickaninny
Twins"
So that night we corralled the
kids in my dressing room as soon
as the father and mother and the
artistic helper had gone upstairs,
and we surely got busy backing
up those youngsters. The babies
entered into the JOY of the thing
with histrionic abandon.

Yards-Loss Is Placed at
over 100000.

Michigan City, Ind, July 15.-This
city suffered property loss of over
100000 on Saturday, when the huge
lumber yards of the Haskell & Barker
Car company burned. The blaze was
seen by citizens of towns a hundred
miles away.
Appeals for aid were sent to nearby
cities. Chicago rushed fire companies
with their apparatus, under Battalion
Chief Edward Buckley, to the fire on
a special train.
In the meantime dynamite was sent
from Gary, Ind, and was used n an
attempt to check the flames.
The fire started in the south end of
The yards, near the Michigan Central
railroad. The fire company of Michi-
gan City responded at once. 1t was
handicapped by too few men, made
there were few hydrants in the vicin-
ity of the fire. The flames spread
quickly to the north.
Before the arrival of the Chicago
companies hundreds of volunteers car
ried lumber from the unburned parts
of the yard to a distance of safety.
The Haskell & Barker Car company
is owned by Miss Katherine Barker,
the property being held in trust by
the First Title Trust company of Chi
cago. 1t is one of the largest con-
Germs of its kind in the world and is
situated on the east outskirts of
Michigan City, east of the Michigan
Central tracks.
