BUILD SEWER ALONG RIVER
Plant Will Take Care of Every Bit of
Refuse From the Tannery and it will
Pass Through q Septic Tank and then
be Thrown Into the City Sewer.

The officials of the N. R. Allen s Sons
Company and Sanitary Engineer Nor
ton, employed by the company to solve
the long vexed problem of cleaning the
Kenosha river from pollution so far as
the big tanning plant is concerned out
lined their plans to Mayor Head, City
Engineer Brennan and members of the
common council and the board of health
at a meeting held at the Office of the
city engineer on Tuesday afternoon.
The plan that is proposed by the com
pany is regarded by the officials as one
that will meet every demand of the
people. The company hopes to begin
the work Of installing the plan probably
this year and it will be completed some
time in the spring. The working out of
this plan is largely dependent on the
city building sewer along the south
and west banks of the river.
Engineer Norton has gone into the
problem at great length and he believed
that his plan will result in the tannery
removing all the blame that has been
placed on the plant for the pollution
Of the river. He plans to build a sewer
of sufficient size to carry all the sew.
age of the tannery on the north bank of
the river running to the south Of the
tannery buildings and along the dock
lines. This sewer would be started at a
point just west of the Main street
bridge and be laid west and north fol-
lowing the bend of the river to the
northermost point of the tannery plant.
Into it would be entered every pipe
leading from the tannery buildings so
that it would be impossible for the
company to place any sewage into the
river without tunneling ovel their own
sewer. The plan provides for the build
ing of a septic sedimentation plant
somewhere at the north end of the plant
and along the banks Of the river This
tank would be large enough to purify
all of the sewage senta out from the
tannery and following its being purified
by treatment with lime it would be
pumped from this septic tank into the
city sewer on the west side of the
river. When the water finally reaches
the sewer it will be so free from i'm
purities that it will in no way pollute
the lake when it is emptied into it from
the city sewer. There will undoubtedly
be a large amount of sediment to be
removed from the tank daily and it is
declared that in many places this is
eagerly sought by farmers for use as
fertilizer. If there is no demand for
this refuse it may be either burned or
shipped away from the plant.
The plan was described at length to
the officials and they were given the
assurance that similar plans had been
used in similar institutions in this and
other states and that it had been found
entirely satisfactory in disposing Of all
sewage of such plants.
City Engineer Brennan is busily at
work on the plans for the sewer to fol
low the west bank of the river and if
this sewer is built it will be possible
with the aid Of the tannery plant to re-
move every bit of sewage now being
poured into the river by the various in
dustries along the banks and from city
sewers.

CHRISTIAN CASE GOES OVER.
Former Kenoshs Man Settles Domestic
Relations with Court Agreement.

The case Of the state of Wisconsin
against Walter E. Christian, formerly
well-known Kenosha man now residing
at Lemont, ILL.,, was to have been called
for trial in the municipal court this
morning but when the case was called
it was put over the term and announce
ment was made that court agreement
had been reached between Mr.. and Mrs.
Christian which was satisfactory to the
officials of the court. The agreement
provides that the case be continued
with the understanding that the defend
ant will make proper provision for the
support of the wife. While the condi-
tions of the agreeemnt were not made
public it was declared by court officials
that it was a S'liberal" one. 1t is not
probable that the case will be taken
up again by the court if the agreement
is lived up to by the defendant.

MANY CLASSES BEING FORMED
Officials Are Forced to go to Other Cit
les Seeking Competent Men ard Wo-
men to Act as Instructors Domestic
Science Glasses Popular with Women.

The evening schools of the city
opened on Tuesday evening and so great
was the registration of students on the
opening that the industrial board was
swamped and Mrs. Bradford, superin-
tendent of the schools and Clerk Of the
industrial board started out this morn
ing on hunt for competent teachers to
have charge of the score of classes that
are to be formed. On the first night
of the school fully 800 people, all over
Is years of age, appeared to register
in the various classes and a large mum
Der of them were people of mature age
who sought instruction in English and
other branches offered by the school
There were full classes of twenty of
Italians, Pplanders, and Armenians and
the evening schools of Kenosha will be
a melting pot in which will be found
representatives Of nearly every nation
IN the world
The number of students appearing
for registration was largely in excess
of the anticipation Of the officials in
charge Of the school and of the large
number most of them paid the two dol
lar fee required for entrance. The
number of women was nearly as great
as the number Of men and these women
all showed an interest in the domestic
science classes. The kitchen at the
high school is capable of taking care OF
twenty pupils at time and classes Of
twenty were formed for Tuesday and
Thursday evenings and to accommodate
others it was decided to open the kitch
en- at the Frank school for evening
classes and classes In domestic economy
will be established there for the same
evenings.
The board has been exceedingly for
tunate in taking care Of the instruction
Of the Armenians by securing the serv
ices Of Miss Pasha, graduate Of the
English College of Turkey and wo-
man Of great ability. She will have
charge Of all Of the classes among the
Armenians and it is expected that these
classes will stand high in the evening
schools.
It is now expected that the registra
tion at the evening schools will be close
to the 500 mark before the term is we'll
advanced. The classes will all be form
ed before the end Of another week and
courses will be offered in every branch
demanded by the night students where
competent teachers can be secured to
handle the subjects. 1t will take lit
tie time to adjust the conditions in the
evening schools but it is certain that
education will not be denied any Of
the applicants for places in these
schools.
For the most part the instruction will
be taken care of by experienced teach
ers and these have been selected from
the various nationalities with a great
deal of care.

WOULD ENLARGE TERRITORY |
Council VIII be Asked to Annex Large
Tract to the West as Well as to the
South and West of the City-Prop-
erty Owners Seek Cooperation.


Before che smoke Of the recent an
nexation battle has cleared away peo-
pie living in the suburban Sterritory to
the south and west Of the city are con-
sldering plans for the annexation Of
their homes to the city and it is GER
tain that the annexation problem will
again come before the present council
the part of the property owners to re
duce the size of the territory to be Of
fered for annexation to the city, but
on the. other hand plans being formu-
lated today provided for considerable
increase in this territory.
The new petitions are to include not
only the big territory in the last petit
tion, bue also territory to the west of
the city and north Of Prairie avenue.
Harry L. Goldberg hes come out as the
leader OF the people in the big terri
tory to the west of the city between
Prairie and Grand avenues and he has
petitions ready to ask for the annexa-
ticn Of this territory to the city. lie
has conferred with leaders in the ter
ritory turned down by the council on
last Monday night and insists that he

tion of his property to the south and
west Of the city unless the property to
the north Oh Prairie avenue is includ-
ed. This property inelures the plant
of the Thomas B. Jeffery Company,
large portion Of which is in the town
of Somers. It also includes the Bulla-
more subdivision and the subdivisions
made. by several members of the Han
nan family. It is understood that Mrs.
James Hannah, who owns large tract
of the territory is ready to sign a pc
tition for annexation and that this is
true of many owners of property in
the BulIamore and Goldberg subdivision.
The property in question added to
the property named in the former an
nexation petition makes & tract of land
with a geographical area almost equal
to one-half Of the present land within
the city limits. The people living in
the original territory slated for annexa-
tion do not seem to look kindly on the
plan to tack this new territory onto
the petition, but it may be found neces-
sary to take such step in order to
get the requisite number of signers.
The people who own property in the
territory are well nigh disgusted and
it is feared that the enthusiastic cir
culators Of petitions will have some
trouble showing these people that the
petitions will get better consideration
than the former petitions. Some of
the people have openly declared them
selves against any further effort to get
into the city and the people who are
opposed to aInexation feel certain that
remonstrance at this time would get
a much larger number Of signatures
than on the previous occasion. The
work Of circulating the petitions will
require considerable time, but the
promoters Of the new petitions believe
that they will be able to get the petit
tons for the entire territory named be-
fore the council by the middle of De-
cember or the first Of January.

LICENSE REVOKED BY JUDGE
Defendant is Barred from Practice Of
His Profession in Wisconsin and Sem
fenced to Pay a Fine of $3.50 with an
Alternative of Three Months in Jail,

d., David NJ. Munro was convicted
of performing a criminal operation in
the municipal court by jury late.
Tuesday afternoon and this morning
Judge Randall imposed sentence. The
sentence was the revocation of the IL
cense of Munro to practice medicine
and a fine of $3.50 and the costs of the
action with an alternative of three
months confinement in the county jail
of Kenosha county.
d. Munro heard the sentence of
the court just before noon and before
he was taken to Jail to begin his sent
ence, after he had declared that it
would be impossible to pay the fine as
sessed by the court, the defendant
made a long and rambling statement
to the judge. The statement had no
bearing on the case on trial. Before
he made his statement the doctor had
been practically advised that he would
be barred from practice and he made
no reference TO the proposed sentence
in his plea to the court. The plea was
an arraignment of government officials.
The defendant in dramatic manner
declared that he had been bringing out
facts IN regard to irregularities at
Washington when he had been barred
by the court, but he declared that
charges which he had made against the
officials of the postoffice and war de-
partment were now on file liz Washing
had been promised on charges which he
had made. The doctor ran to SMILES
and declared that he was like spider
and had for years been spinning net
TO catch the fiies' in the govern
ment service and that he felt certain
that the efforts were to succeed.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Ran
dali said nothing of the rambling plea
which had been made by Munro. He
insisted that the crime of which Munro
was convicted cou1d not be passed
over lightly and expressed sorrow for
the condition of Munro. He held, how
ever, that it was his opinion that he
should not remain n the practice of
medicine following such conviction.
The fine was the minimum under the
provisions of the state statute and the
Jail sentence was much smaller than is
usually given when such fine is as
sessed. Judge Randall declared that
he desired to deal with the case in all
kindness as he felt considerable SYM
pathy for the defendant on account Of
his condition and on account of trou-
bles of every nature which he AeA
passed through in past years.
AS soon as sentence was imposed
DR.. Munro turned to the deputy sheriff
in charge and declared that he was
ready to go to Jail. CT have already
imposed too much on the friendship of
others to hope that can raise the fine
by the court and you can take
me to your JAIL" was his final retort.
Tt is declared that friends Of Munro
will make an effort to raise money to
pay his fine by subscription and one of
these men was at the court room with
in ten minutes after the doctor had
been sentenced and secured a state
ment of the total amount to be paid
for his release. 1t was declared by
this man that Munro would be releas-
ed from jail before the day was over.

ter was trying TO arrange the spirit
ualistic compact. On the one side the
genial skeptic and on the other the old
Scotch doctor. metaphysical, earnest as
a Zealot and yet as practical and kindly
as Peter himself, In passing 1t ls well
to pay homage to the wondrous skill as
an actor OF Joseph Brennan. who I'm
persopated the doctor.
In the second and third acts Peter
Grimm is a ghost. 1t ls true that the
author has tried TO give the ghost
character. but 1t Is difficult TO give a
character 10 one with whom you are
not acquainted. And David Belnsco
doesn't know much more about ghosts
than any of the rest OF us, despite his
convincing argument in this play. Neither
does David Warneld. and as no books
OF department have been written as to
the way in which n ghost should act,
Warlieid is compelled TO act the ghost
in his own way with spiritual guidance
from Belasco. UnquestIonably 1t Is DIFF
hcult TO be both a human being and a
spirit at the same time, and yet this Is
the trifi!ng feat that Warfield must per-
not forgotten to have his little joke as
when he was alive. Nothing creates q
fellow feeling so contagiously as joke
and. naturally, q ghost who can laugh
and jest is not a bad sort. But some
how the jokes are CHASTITY because Peter
cannot share them with anyone.
In spite of the argument OF the play
and the ofttlmes reiterated statement OF
ton into a state infinitely more desir-
able, there is an incuraple melancholy
a bout the last two acts. II is the lot OF
humankind not TO find delight In death
and there are no spirits that come from
the other world TO tell the millions that
death is better than life, however true
the message may be.
The play is such spur TO speculation
that one finds oneself as 10th to quit
the subject as DR., MACPHERSON is to quit
thinking and talking about spiritualism.
The audience at the Salt Lake last
night appeared completely enthralled by
the play At the conclusion OF each act
they demanded that David Warfield ap-
pear before the curtain, but the best that
they could obtain was q speech from
one OF the cast, who stated that owing
to the character which Mr.. Wariield as
sumed he did not feel justified in step
ping out OF the character to make a
curtain speech.
