CARNIVAL MAN SWIMS LAKE
Roy Hardy Made Trip in One Hour
and Half Yesterday.

Hardy, of the Corey carnival which
is now showing at Nymore, yesterday
afternoon was successful in his at
tempt to swim Lake Bemidji. Hardy
started from the city dock, his. inten-
tion being to swim to the CrOokston
Lumber company plant No. 2, dis
tance of just a trife more than two
miles. In order that he might have
some advantage of the wind, Hardy
swan more than half mile out of
his way, but nevertheless made the
distance of nearly three miles in one
hour and twenty-seven minutes. He
was followed by several men in a
launch and so high were the waves
that at times the swimmer was en-
tirely out of sight, only to bob up
again at a distant point. Easy, slow
strokes we're taken by the swimmer,
Hardy not wishing to exert himself
by the exhibition, not having been
in the water for three years, it be
ing in 1911 that he was one the star
high dive artists of the great Ring
ling brothers circus. Hardy is a
swimmer of much note and besides
possessing record for fifteen mile
swim, he was the holder of the New
York state championship for many
years. He is a heavy man, weighing
more than 230 pounds. Hardy claims
that he can easily swim to the outlet
in two hours, a distance: Of about four
miles.

Rider Tells Of Game.
H. A. Rider, executive agent of the
commission, in speakingso of the states
game, says:
I "Not-. every one in the state of
Minnesota is ware of the fact that
northern Minnesota is considered, by
non-resi dent hunters as Sbeing one of
the finest big game districts in, the
United States, and the thousands Of
lakes and streams afford unlimited
pleasure to the anglers who come to
Minnesota every year from almost
every state in the Union. Z
Protection Necessary.
'Too much cannot be. said of the
necessity Of protection Of both the
large and small game and fish. Five
or six years ago, partridges and
prarie chickens in the. southern and
southwestern parts of 1.-THE state had
become almost extinct, but through.
the efforts Of the present efficient
corpof game Wardens during. the past
three years the birds have Increased
rapid dly, and that locality is now con-
sidered an excellent field for small
game hunters. The western and
central parts of the state also abound
in small game Of every variety.
=: Conserve Big Game.
"a special effort is being made to
conserve the big game. Small re-
fuges, consisting perhaps of not more
than one township each, have been
proposed to set asaid throughout the
state, and the Superior game preserve
in the extreme northeastern part of
the state, consisting of approximately
100000 acres of pine covered
| wilderness, is an ideal home for
| deer and moose. One herd of Carl
bou was reported by a warden in that
territory and all the reports on game
conditions last fall were extremely
favorable. -
Attracts Vacationist. -
"One of the greatest attractions
! to the vacationist is the excellent
fishing in almost every county. The
clear, cold waters of innumerable
lakes yield the finest specimens of
bass, crappie and pike. In 1913 the
game and fish commission of Mimi
esota planted 166, 100000 pike fry
in the various lakes in the state, be-
sides bass and crappie. Thousands
of cans of trout fry have been plant
ed in the various streams and appar-
emily thrive as well as in mountain
streams. sE

Saturday was day of openings
among the new stores of Kenosha and
prominent among the new stores open
ed was the beautiful store of Block
Brothers at the corner of Main and
Wisconsin streets. The Block Brothers
store is one perfectly arranged for
merchandising purposes. It occupies
the room formerly occupied by the Fair
store with the second story of the
building offering an excellent space for
the display of goods. Neither time nor
money has been spared in the arrange
ment of the new store and it has every
possible convenience for the buying
public. The stock is a carefully Sc
lected one and contains everything in
the line Of mems, women's and child
ren's wear. Souvenirs were given at
the opening of the store on Saturday
and hundreds of people called to in
spect the new merchandise center.

PENDANTS girls employed in factories
of the city. The Investigation showed
that the moral conditions surrounding
the factory girls of Kenosha are well
near all that could be demanded.
Senator Teasdale was seeking and
not giving information. He gave out
nothing as to the result of his own in
vestigations or the investigations which
had been made by detectives under the
employ of the state commission. He
failed to state just when the commits
sion would be in Kenosha but intimat-
ed that the visit would take place late
in the spring or early in the summer,
During his stay in Kenosha the SEN
ator made pretty close inspection of
some of the hotels of the city. 1t is
certain that the commission has a large
amount of Interesting information IN
regard to abuses of the law in Keno

will be one of more than passing in
terest. The senator left for Racine on
Friday night expecting to spend sew
eral days making a similar investiga-
tion in Racine.

TELLS OF SHOCKING DANCES"
State Senator Comes From Sparta to
Pave the Way For a Formal Investi-
cation on Part of Commission in Ke-
nosha-Detectives Furnish Clues.

Armed with complaints in which it
had been declared that there was an
absolutely shocking condition of
affairs morally in Kenosha State SEN
ator Howard Teasdale Of Sparta, chair
man of the Wisconsin legislative com
mittee for the investigation of white
slavery, spent all day Friday in Keno
sha paving the way for the coming of
his commission to the city. During
the day Senator Teasdale saw men in
authority and many people connected
with organizations of social nature.
He admitted that he was "just smell
ing out'' conditions in Kenosha and
he did not have a great deal to say as
to his conclusions. He admitted that
the detectives of the vice commission
had worked in Kenosha and that they
had found conditions which evidently
had not been known to the local Of.
ficials or if they had been known had
been permitted to 90 unmolested. He
appeared to be especially interested in
the investigation of segregated vice IN
the city, in the causes of young girls
being led into vicious lives and the
remedies which the local officials would
suggest to secure a greater safeguard
about the lives of these girls.
Senator Teasdale had with him a let

dance held at one Of the public halls
on last Saturday night conditions of
most shocking nature were found So
far as is known the author of the let

officials interviewed told Senator Teas
dale that the fact that dances in Keno
sha were in need of police supervision
or police suppression was not news
to them.
Much of the time of the visit of
Senator Teasdale was spent with
Judge G. E. Randall, District Attorney
A. L. Drury and Pauper Commissioner
Jacob Saftig. The officials threw open
their records to the senator in order
that he might make the fullest posi-
BILE examination and get all possible
facts in regard to conditions in Keno

in the factory girls of Kenosha and
the records showed that few of the

Police Commission May Add
Woman to Regular POI
lice Force of the City.
GREAT NEED OF HER WORK

Kenosha is going to have a woman
police officer some time and it will
probably be in the very near future if
the members of the police and fire
commission can find woman in Keno
sha who can meet the requirements of
the office. President q. G.. Simmons
of the police and fire commission is
convinced that woman police officer
could do lot to aid in lettering con-
ditions in Kenosha. The matter of
having a woman on the force, was
mentioned at a recent meeting of the
commission and every member of the
commission now has his ewes open TO
find the right woman. The commits
sioners hold that a woman can do a
lot of things which man can t do
and that a woman police officer could
do much toward lettering conditions
for young girls in the city. The city.
of Racine is going to add woman to
the police department of that city and
already Milwaukee and Oshkosh have
women who wear stars The attorney
general of the state has held that the
police and fire commission have a per-
feet right to put women on police
forces. However, the women to be
named must have all the qualifications
demanded from men who go on the
force. They must be able to pass the
examination laid down by the commits
sion and must be able to show that
they have resided in the city for the
time required in the regulations.
Several women in Kenosha have
served in the past as aides to the
police department, but they have not
had any power to make arrest or serve
processes. None of these women would
have been eligible to police star as
they came to Kenosha from other
cities. It is probable that at the next
meeting Of the commission some steps
will be taken toward securing wom-
an as a member of the police de-
partment.

Judge Belden Grants Mrs.
Bertha Newman Unique
Alimony Judgment.
CLAIMED HUSBAND WAS CRUEL

"Let the wife be given the custody
of the one minor child and the automo-
bile. - This in substance, was the de-
cision of Judge Belden in the circuit
court on Thursday afternoon, when he
awarded Mrs. Bertha Newman of Sill
yer Lake divorce from her husband,
William Newman, on charges of cruel
ty and failure to provide. Mr.. and
Mrs. Newman were married at Silver
Lake in December, 1905, and according
to the complaint of the wife she had
no personal property. She declared
that the most priced possessions of the
family were the one minor child and
the automobile. She asked that she
be given both and the court after hear
ing the testimony in the case decided
in her favor and directed that the
judgment be drawn accordingly. At
torney A. E. Buckmaster appeared for
Mrs Newman while the affairs of the
husband were looked after by Attorney
Robert Buckley of Whitewater. Attor-
ney Buckley protested strenuously
against the wife being given the Gus
tody of the automobile, but the court
was firm and the judgment to the wife
will include the gasoline wagon. Mrs.
Newman in her complaint valued the
automobile at $3.50.
The decree of divorce is granted with
the prohibition that neither of the par
ties to the decree marry within year.
