TAKE MILWAUKEE GIRLS HERE
Police Pick up Girls Who Ran Away
From Their Homes in Milwaukee.

Tired and hungry and without any
money to provide themselves with food
or shelter, two Milwaukee girls, Ella
Lipke aged II and Christine Peterson
aged Is, both claiming to live in Mil
waukee, were picked up by Police OH
Ger Christensen at the station of tue
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric railway
early this morning. The two girls had
gone to the station in order to get shell
ter from the night. They declared to
the police that they had run away from
their homes on Monday morning with
a view of making their own way in the
world. Monday afternoon the two had
earned 50 cents in Racine and on Mon
day night they went to a farm house
south of Racine where they found lodg-
ing for the night. Tuesday morning
they walked to Kenosha and sought
work at seyerai factories. Failing to
find employment they went without
food during the entire day. The girls
were taken to the county Jail and given
food and this morning their parents
came down from Milwaukee and took
them back to their homes.

DELINQUENT TAX LIST LONG.
Two Hundred Pieces of Property in
Kencsha County to be Sold for Taxes.

County Treasurer Philip Hartman,
Jr., has made up his annual list Of de-
llnquent taxes and in keeping with the
notice nearly two hundred pieces of
property in different parts of the
county viii be sold on account Of de-
linquent taxes at the annual tax sale
on May goth. Any of this property
may be redeemed by the payment of
the tax and the penalty on or before
the day of the sale. The towns Of
Bristol and Paris report a clean sheet
this, year and the large majority of
the delinquents are found in the city
of Kenosha Nearly all the property
returned from Pleasant Prairie and
Somers is property in the suburbs of
Kenosha. On the list from Somers is
a large number Of the lots in the Ke-
nosha Industrial subdivision. In the
city majority of the amounts claim
ed were assessed as especial assess
ments for paving, sewers and for
street sprinkling. Several of the de-
linquents have declared that they will
contest the collection of these taxes
in the court. Similar claims have been
made in other years, but the courts
have repeatedly held that the city has
right to make these assessments and
enforce collection Of them.

William Hurd Clendenin is
Elected Mayor of Zion City
by Margin of Six Votes.
LEADERS STOP CELEBRATION

The Voliva forces of Zion City, com
prising the "theocratic Z party, after 5
years of chatting under Independent )"
rule, came back at yesterday Is election
and elected mayor, city clerk, city
attorney, and two aldermen. With
three already in the council, this would
give control.
Whether the election will stand is
another, matter. w. Hurd Clendenin,
the theocratic candidate, defeated F.
d. johnson, by scant majority of 6
in total of 979. A flop of four votes
would have elected his opponent.
Also two years ago Clendenin was
elected by three votes, but on re-
count the honor was stripped from him,
and the Independents figure it is not
much harder to throw out six votes than
three.
The Zionites showed a disposition to
turn out and hold parade with brass
band, but Voliva ordered them to check
their enthusiasm, which babe fair to
bring out counter demonstration by
the independents, who have proved
themselves adept with fists, if not with
ballots.
Voliva s friends pointed thankfully
to the prospective removal of the city
marshal's portfolio from John L. Hoo
Yer, who has suppressed the Zionites
forcibly of late. "Capt. A. A. Walk
er, Voliva's body guard and former po-
lice chief of Hammond, is scheduled for
the job.
1t was announced also that if Glen
denim 8 election holds the one poolroom
of Zion City, where it is asserted to-
bacco is sold in defiance of the wishes
of Voliva and the ordinance his prede-
cessor elijah Dowie, passed years
ago, will be closed.
All is well, = said Voliva. If some
of our votes had not been thrown out
by the election judges it would have
been greater victory

HOPE FOR BETTER RESULTS.
State Highway Commission Sends Plans
for Portion of Work and Specifca-
tions Will be Out Within the Next
Few Days-Let Contracts May 1st.

1T has been definitely settled that a
large majority of the road work plan
ned for Kenosha county during the
coming summer months will be done
by contract labor. Highway Commits
sioner Mcclellan announced this morn
ing that he had decided to let con-
tracts for all the concrete work on the
roads of the county and that the
amount to be done by day labor would
be limited to the amount necessary to
keep the road machinery of the county
busy.
1--WE are going to contract just as
much of the work as is possible said
the commissioner, but it is our plan
to withhold enough of the work from
contract to keep the county gangs at
work. [ can not give out all the work
to be contracted at this time on ac-
count of the fact that as yet only a
part of the plans have come from the
engineers of the state highway com
mission. The engineers of the COM
mission are now at work on South
Park avenue making surveys and they
will make the remainder Of the sur
veys just as soon as this work is com
pleted. Two of the towns have become
little impatient and have made APP
plication to the state commission to
have the work started and the COM
mission has sent these complaints to me
with the response that the work in
these towns will be started just as
soon as the state department gets out
the plans. have the plans for the
Sheridan road and for the Lake Shore
road north of the city and expect the
plans for South Park avenue within
the next few days. All of these roads
will be concrete fourteen feet in width
and contracts on this work will be
asked just as soon as the state depart
ment has filed the specifications with
me. am hopeful that the work can
be started about the first of May. It
is definitely decided that work to the
estimated cost of $4,000 will be let
to contract
Many of the counties in the state
have found that it has been big saw
ing and that better work has been Sc
cured onNthe highways by letting the
work out to contractors. Under this
plan it will be possible to insHre the
completion of the work planned dur
ing the building season as the con-
tracts will all have provisions for COM
pletion of work under contract by the
end of the present road building sea-
son. The contractors will have about
five months in which to complete the
work. It is thought that the contracts
to be let in this county are sufficiently
large to prove attractive to contrac-
tors from other cities and it is ex-
pected that there will be considerable
competition in the race for the con-
tracts.

CLAIMS DAMAGE TO FACTORIES
Attorney Chester Barnes Representing
Kenosha Manufacturers Makes Lead
ing Argument Against Estate Mar
keting Bill at Madison on Tuesday.

Attorney Chester D. Barnes of this
city, representing the Kenosha Manu-
faeturer's Association, made the prin-
cipal argument against the bill pro-
posed by Governor McGovern provid-
ing for state marketing commission,
at Madison ON Tuesday. In his argu-
ment he was supported by many promi-
nent men of the state The bill was
assailed by representatives of retail
dealers associations in several parts
Of the state. The argument of Mr..
Barnes against the bill was care
fully prepared one.
He made the general charge that the
bill was arbitrary and unjust, especial
" so upon it's discrimination provi-
sions. 1t actually gives an outside
manufacturer the power and right to
ruin the business of Wisconsin man
ufacturer in his own state. He illus
trated this by asking what any of his
companies could do if, for example, a
Michigan manufacturer should open
salesroom in Lacrosse and begin sell
ing automobiles below cost. The Ke-
nosha manufacturer couldn t meet that
price under this law, unless he cut
prices below cost in every town in the
state, which would be ruinous. "I'd
like nothing better than tbs law"
said Mr.. Barnes, Yif ! were manu-
facturer in another state seeking
ss.iia!a market. = Ss
The amendment which Mr.. Mshcu
of'ered, providing that the market con-
mission could not fix prices, Barnes
said, amounted to nothing because
ether provisions of the bill not affect
ed by the amendment give the COM
mission absolute power to say when a
rate is just OF fair
Touching upon the questional feat
ures of the bill, Mr.. Barnes said
that it absolutely destroys the right of
any man to conduct his private bust
ness privately. "Have / lost my
right he said, "to keep my own priv
ate business to myself? Of course it
will be said that the public will not
know all about man s private bust
ness when he opens his books to this
market commission, but gentlemen, the
state of Wisconsin did not keep faith
about information secured through the
means of the income tax law, but pub
lished private facts broadcast! Have
any security that 1T would not open
my books TO my competitor? Don t
you see that if business concerns are
to know all the private facts about
their competitors, that the strong con-
Germ will get all the advantage; viii
know where and when to strike the
weaker one to drive him over the
brink
Prof. Commons replying to Barnes
statement that an outside manufacture
er was given distinct competitive
advantage over the Wisconsin manu-
facturer, said that conditions could be
remedied in the bill if such were per
mitted by it.

EXPECT move HERE soon
Milwaukee Company is Expected to ask
for Franchise for Lines TO Connect
With Interurban Line From Wauke-
gan to Kenosha

The Milwaukee, haclne and kenosha
Electric Railway Company seems to
have come out into the open in the eff
fort to secure rights for the extension
Of the interurban line through the city
of Waukegan and it is declared that
General Manager Mortimer and Gen
eral Superintendent R. B. Stearns of
the Milwaukee company, were in Wau-
kegan on Monday and held a confer
! ence with the members of the Wau-
! * cyan Municipal Commission. It was
declared that the conference was pre-
liminary to formal request for a
franchise through the streets Of the
city of Waukegan and it is expected
that this franchise ordinance will be
proposed to the people of Waukegan at
an early date. 1t is said that the Mil
waukee company is figuring on both a
local and an interurban service in
! Waul1egan with an arrangement SINH
lar to that now prevailing in Kenosha.
The Waukegan commissioners are
said to be favorable to the suggestions
made by the managers of the Milwau-
kee company and they are anxious to
secure the building Of line which will
practically parallel the Chicago and
Milwaukee road
The people Of Kenosha will be very
much interested in the operations of
the Milwaukee, company at Watkegan
for should the commission there grant
franchise for local line it is GER
tain that the long proposed extension
of the NJ R. and K. from Kenosba to
Waukegan with the ultimate plan Of
getting into Chicago will at once be
taken up. Manager Stearns has not
formally approached the Kenosha city
council as to a route to the south, but
the matter has been taken up in
formally. Right Of way owned by the
company at this time will make it
necessary to run the lines to the east
of the lines of the Chicago and North
western Railway Company.
The outlet from Kenosha will I'M
| doubtedly be the trouble maker for the
company. Some Of the routes proposed
are to make the new line an addition to
the present Ashland avenue line, MAX
| ing the run to the right of way owned
| by the company at Selma avenue; an
other proposed line is to run directly
south from Main street to the south
end of Park avenue and thence east
to the right Of way through the
| Country Club grounds. The other
route proposed is to run east on Mar
1 ket street to Exchange street and
then south along Exchange street to
the south limits Of the city.
| The Ashland avenue route would be
the one of least resistance for the
company to follow, but it is an open
secret that the company looks with
most favor on route down Park
avenue running directly past the Keno
sha City Cemetery. 1t is probable
that this matter will come up officially
before the Kenosha council within the
next few weeks.
