Chief of the fire department, Iser-
mann was just as emphatic in his OBJ
iections to the Sunday afternoon rush.
Nothing like it was ever seen before
in Kenosha and the department was
greatly hampered in its efforts to
reach the fire. The people in automo-
biles and on motorcycles failed to pay
an attention to the Changing of bells
and the sounding of the horns. They
simply wanted to get to the fire first
and paid no attention to anything
else. :"
The mad rush on Sunday afternoon
was one of the things which the of
ticials sought to prevent short time
ago \by ordering the fire whistle
silenced except on second calls. 1t is
probable that some new plan viii be
worked out which will make another
rush like the one on Sunday an inn
possibility in the future

The sheriff of Racine county and
several of his deputies came to Keno

seeking some trace of two men who
were wanted in connection with a cut
ting ARRAY which took place at Lake

of the men who was cut is in hos
pital in Racine suffering from very
severe wounds. 1t was alleged that
two of the men who had taken part in
the fight fed from Lakeside and start
ed toward Kenosha. Automobile par
ties were organized and sent out from
the Racine police department to search
at many points between Racine and
Kenosha and the sherie and his aides

Chief O'HARE ORDERS ARREST
Directs Police to Arrest Every Person
Who Interferes With Progress of the
Fire or Police Department in Future
Truck Stopped by the Rush.

The lives of hundreds of people in
Kenosha were endangered on Sunday
afternoon just after three clock when
there was a mad rush in response to
call for the fire department to the
corner of Newell street and Prairie
avenue. A lot of grass in the neigh
borhood of the plant of the Cooper
Underwear Company had been set on
fire and when the alarm sounded there
was mad rush Of automobiles, motor.
cycles, bicycles and other vehicles west
o.. Prairie avenue. So great was the
congestion of traffic on the avenue
that it was all but impossible fcE the
fire department to get to the fire. The
streets running parallel with Prairie
ave- ere almost as badly congested
and that there were no collisions in
which people were injured is regarded
as a rare piece of luck. The fire was
OF no consequence.
Chief of Fol1ce O'Hare declared this
morning that there would have to be

was called. "I just want to ask you
why there is this mad rush every time
there is a call for the fire or police de-
Dartment? Is is because the people
want to see something for nothing or
is it just to get in the way of the
men who are paid to patrol the city
and protect the property against fires.
The way people rushed to the fire call
or Sunday afternoon was outrageous
1t not only hampered the fremen, but
many of the people in the automobiles
were in peril of their lives. On three
occasions accidents were avoided only
by great presence of mind on the part

Albert G. Frost, former head of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric road

Some of the political enemies. of
Mayor-elect M. j. Scholey have intimat-
ed that an effort would be made to en-
join him from taking Office on account
of the fact that he failed to file an
election expense account as provided
by law. Mr.. Scholey has been elected
to Office by large majority of the vot-
ers of the city and any effort to set
the will of the voters aside on tech
nicality would be frowned on by lot
of people who did not support Mr..
Scholey at the election. The votes of
the people and not technicalities are
usually taken to elect mayors in
Kenosha.

LIFE FUND GROWING.
State Insurance Plan Seems to be Meet
ing With Favor of the People.

Wisconsin has issued three hundred
policies of life insurance and the life
fund contains $7,129. No loss has been
sustained since the new form of life
insurance has been put into force
State Insurance Commissioner III. L.
Ekern says that the plan has now pass
ed the experiment stage and the prac-
ticability and permanency of it are as
sured. The state does not guarantee
the solvency of the life fund it sim

by law. Next November the electorate
will vote on proposed amendment to
the state constitution enabling the
state to engage in all kinds of insur-
ance, life, fire, casualty and other
kinds, and guarantee the losses. Com
missioner Ekern believes that under
conservative laws the state can furnish
absolutely safe insurance to it's citizens
at less cost than the private companies.
Circular Letter Sent Out.
Commissioner Ekern sent a circular
letter to all town meetings held last
Tuesday. The letter was read to the
voters and in many cases the project
was approved
In the letter the commissioner an

policies of life insurance, and that the
