In Preparation for Tuberculosis Day
Ministers Will Make Report.

A tuberculosis Census of thousands
of churches in various parts of the
country will be taken in September,
under the direction of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis The census will be
part of the preparation for the Fifth An
nual tuberculosis Day to be observed
during the week of November goth.
The ministers of several thousand
churches will be asked to report on the
number of deaths from tuberculosis in
the last year, the number of living cases
in their parishes on September lst, the
number of deaths from all causes, and
the number of members and communi-
cants. These figures will be made the
basis of an educational campaign, which
will eliminate in the tuberculosis Day
movement, for which occasion sermon
and lecture outlines and other forms of
tuberculosis literature will be distrib-
uted free to ministers.
Last year nearly $4,000 churches,
schools, and other bodies took part in
the tuberculosis Day observance. The
movement had the endorsement of lead
ing church officials of every denomina-
ton. More than 1900 anti tuberculosis
societies scattered all over the country
will work this year to make Tuberculo-
sis Day a success.

STATE MAKES s792,o4o OFF OF FISH
Catch of Lake Trout Increases Half a.
Million Pounds in the Year 1913.

How important are Wisconsin s COM
mercial fisheries as an economic factor
appears in figures just compiled by
Supt. Ja,les Nevin of the fish commits
sion In his annual report. For the year
ending December 81, 1913, the total
catch of food fishes marketed by com
mercial fishermen from the waters of
the Great Lakes under the control Of
Wisconsin was 1,722,061 pounds of a

sin boundaries are required to secure
a fishing license and must, at the end
OF each year., make report to the
state, giving the result of their year IS
work. During the year 1913 some l.

ENFORCE COLLECTION IN COURT
Auto Club Wins Suit Brought Against
Frank Newman in Municipal Court.

The right of the Kenosha Automobile
Club, a corporation, to collect subscrip-
tions of money made to funds to pro-
vide for the improvement of roads in
Kenosha county, has been upheld in the
municipal court by Judge G. e. Randall
in his decision of the suit brought in
the name of the club against Frank
Newman, farmer in the town of Som
ers. Newman subscribed a Hundred
dollars toward the fund for the i'm
provement of the Burlington road and
this amount was advanced by one Of
the members of the collecting commit
tee. Later Newman refused to pay on
the grounds that he had not authorized
the advance of the money. The suit
was formally brought in the municipal
court and after considerable delay
Newman and the club members stipu-
lated to refer the case to Judge Ran
dali without q trial The court held
that Newman was legally bound to pay
the subscription and without word he
turned a check over to the judge for
the amount and for the costs Of she
action in court. The victory Oh the
club is regarded as valuable psece-
dent in the collection of subscripeaons
in the future.

EXPENSE ACCOUNT RULING.
Failure to File Statement Does Not
Prevent Placing of Name on Ticket

A failure to file an expense account
as required by law does not affect the
right of candidate to a place on the
primary ballot, but affects only the
right Of the candidate who receives the
highest number of votes in the primary
and who would otherwise be entitled to
be certified and to have his name placed
on the election ballot as the nominee
of his party. This opinion was rem
dered to District Attorney Charles F.
Morris of Iron River. The inquiry was
whether candidate who had filed his
papers but no expense accounts is en-
titled to a place on the primary ballot.
The opinion holds that while he can
have his name on the primary ballot,
should he receive the highest number
Of votes, he can not be certified to a
place on the election ballot.
If the disqualification occurred I'M
der such circumstances and attended
by such publicity that a number of
voters equal to the plurality received
by such candidate in the primary could
be said to have voted for the candidate
with knowledge of the disqualification !"
says the opinion, " the candidate receiv-
ing the next highest number of votes
would be the nominee.

OFFERS NEW SELLING SCHEME
Ford Company Offers Dividends to Pur-
chasers if Maximum Output is Sold.

You have to hand it to the Ford for
unique methods of craftsmanship for the
little car Of the common people, the car
bought by the man who can just about
afford a good horse and buggy, is al
ways doing something out of the ordi-
nary. The latest feature was an
nounced by Ford agents all over the
country today. This was drop in price
Of every model turned out by the com
pany amounting to about sixty dollars
and in addition to this guarantee Of
dividends ii the Ford business reaches
certain point during the year ending
August l, 1915. This is sort of div
idend earning proposition for The people
who buy the Fords at retail. It provides
that if the company reaches the maxi
mum output of 100000 cars before the
end of the year every purchaser will re-
ceive cash dividend or cash rebate on
his purchase of from $40 to $50. This is
sure some scheme for selling Fords.

GET ON ACCREDITED LIST.
Police and Fire Commission Add Three
Names to Police List.


The police and fire commission of the
city at its meeting on Friday evening
at the Office of the mayor added a num-
Der OF names to the waiting list for
positions on the police department. A
half a dozen candidates for places on
the force were examined and three
gained place on the accredited list.
John 3. McGovern, an automobile test
er who passed. the examination with
honors, will probably be added to the
force in the capacity of driver of the
patrol wagon. John Rategan and
Charles Rock were placed on the wait
ing list for places on the police force
and as additions to the force are to be
made within a short time it is prob
able that they will secure an early APP
pointment The board declined to take
any action to grant permission to Emil
Fox to carry a revolver as night
Waterman, holding that the members
of the board had no power to grant
such rights to any one. The commits
sioners spent considerable time dis
cussing conditions in the city at the
present time, but no formal statement
was given out as to plans made along
these lines. One thing is certain and
that is that the commission has
strong hold on the workings of the po-
Ice and fire departments at the present
time and that some vigorous orders
will be issued to the forces within the
near future.

DOLLAR BILLS PROVE 4 MAGNET
Unknown Men or Boys Break Rear
Window of the Store and Work With
in Stones Throw Of Police Head
quarters Booty Valued at $500.

Burglars got busy at the "Wear-U-
Well store on Market Square for the
second time in year, on Friday night
or early this morning and according to
the statement Of the proprietor of the
store they got away with merchandise,
JeWelry and money to the value of more
than hundred dollars. The store is
located within stone IS throw Of the
police office and on the beat of all of
the officers of the department, but the
TACT that the place had been entered
was not known until the store was
open for business this morning.
The burglars made their entrance by
breaking open a window in the back
door of the store. This door had been
protected by a storm door and after
the men were safely in the place they
closed the storm door and shut out all
evidences Of the burglary. Evidently
heavy iron CRATE which had been
used as protection for one of the rear
cellar windows had been used in smash
ing the glass in the door. The dollar
bills which have been used to lure Gus
toners to the store by display in the
front window were the first booty to
be secured by the burglars. There was
lot of the dollar bills in the window
but the proprietor does not know Just
how many of the crisp dollar bills were
picked out by the burglars. They made
themselves perfectly at home with the
store after they got in and boxes and
cases were torn out, underwear. shoes
and shirts were scattered all over the
store and it is evident that the men
were in the place for. some time. They
broke open a number of drawers but
failed to make an effort to get into
the cash drawer or into the safe. In tle
safe was a considerable sum of money.
On former visit to the store the
men made an effort to break open the
safe, but it stood the test. The pro-
prietor of the store believes that this
burglary was committed by the same
people who entered the place on the
former occasion. The police are not
long on clues in making their investi-
CATION OF the crime, but they found one
thing which may aid them. One of
the burglars after he got out Of the
building stopped long enough to change
his shoes and he left the old shoes lay
ing on the ground at the rear of the
store The police are now seeking to
find the man who had badly worn
pair of shoes. The one clue indicates
that the burglars were from among the
younger population.
The burglars got a big lot of plated
JeWelry out Of the cases in the store
and it is expected that this will make
its appearance later and lead to the ar
rest of the people who entered the
store The proprietor of the store has
declined to quit using the dollar bills
as an advertisement in the window and
he was at the bank early today and
got a new supply of the crisp bills to
be used in the window.

FRIE-TD.- ARE ANXIOUS.
Kenosha People Who Have Relatives
Abroad Ap- - TO Government.

"a
The war clouds in Europe brought
considerable anxiety to number Of
Kenosha homes today on account of the
fact that a number of Kenosha people
are now in European countries and eff
forts are being made to locate them
with view of securing their return
before the ports of the great European
nations are all closed by the threaten
cd warfare. Robert Allen is some
where on the continent and his brother
Chester Allen appealed to the state de-
partment today to aid in locating him
and securing for him safe transporta-
tion home. Miss Marie Heating, well
known teacher in the city schools, is
in Rome and she had planned to said
for home on August 28th in order to
be able to reach home before the open
ing of the new school term. Mrs. An
ma Borkenhagen is now in Paris. All
OF these people took passage on
Italian ships and as yet no move has
been made to prevent the sailing of
the ships. It is probable that all of
the Kenosha tourists will cut their
trips short in order to get out of the
war threatened ports before they are
closed. There is absolutely no danger
to any of these people as all are under
the protection of the United States
representatives in the various countries.

The tuberculosis census of thousands
of churches which is to be taken in
September will give the National So
ciety for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis statistics on which to base
a strong plea for the observance of a
national tuberculosis day. Tt is impos-
sible to over estimate the educational
value of these "days" for they bring
tens of thousands Of people whom it
would otherwise be hard to reach into
close touch with the work of the society
and arouse an interest that is felt
throughout the year.

4Eenosha is one of the cities response
BILE for the marked decline in the num-
Der of deaths from typhoid fever in the
state as shown in the quarterly report
of the state board of health for the
number of cases of typhoid in this city
in the past three months has shown a
marked decrease from the number for
the same period last year. This is con
ceded to be due to the chlorination of
the water supply of the city and the
Judgment of the water commissioners
in ordering the installation of the
colonization plant has been indicated.
Typhoid fever is filth disease which
can be spread only by ignorance or
carelessness and the time is coming
when a death from typhoid will be as
much a subject for investigation by the
authorities in order to fix the response
bility therefor as any cases the coroner
investigates nowadays.

the buildings. The municipal govern
ment offers an annual prize for the most
artistic building erected on the several
business streets, and supplements this
prize by exempting the building from
taxation for a certain number of years.
Again, under the building regulations,
each new structure must harmonic in
architecture, height, and material with
its neighbors. Thus no one and two
story cheap buildings are found to mar
the general effect on the Avenida. -

MAY SECURE COMPETITIVE BIDS
Several Companies Manufacturing
Standards and Lights Are Anxious
to Come TO Kenosha and Bid on In
stallation of Lights to Belong to City.

Business men in the down town dis
trict of the city have revived the fight
to secure ornamental lighting systems
for the down town streets and the
lighting committee of the common
council viii be asked to reopen the
matter and make an effort to find some
plan for the installation of the lights
which will meet with the support of
the business men and the members of
the common council The former coun-
Gil apparently had the plan all worked
out, but when bids were asked for the
installation of the lights and furnish
ing the current these bids were held to
be too high for consideration and the
whole matter was dropped. Since that
time the committee of the Kenosha Re-
tailers' Association has been busy and
several companies have asked for the
privilege of coming to Kenosha to bid
ON the installation of decorative
lighting system.
There is no doubt but that the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company would
be willing to furnish current for these
lights even if they were installed by
another company, but it has been the
contention of the company that it
would be more satisfactory to all con-
cerned for the equipment to be installed
and owned by the company furnishing
the current for operating the lights.
Business men who have interested
themselves in this matter insist that
the price charged by the company for
installation is much too high and that
other companies will be willing to in
stall the lights of the very latest pat
tern at lower rate. These men also
contend that it would be the best plan
for the lights when they are installed
to remain the property of either the
city or the business men directly inter
ested. Private installation of the
lights on one or two of the streets has
been suggested and while the plan
meets with the sanction of large num-
Der of the business men there is no
street on which the property owners
are unanimous in favoring the lights.
The men who have taken the leadership
in the matter declare that there can
be no private installations made with
out the agreement of all property own
ers to share a part in the expense of
maintaining them.
The city council in the former years
went long way to make possible the
il stallation of these lights. Through
the efforts of the members Of the coun-
Gil special act was passed by the leg
islature which gave the council the
right to make contract for such lights
and assess a portion of the cost of
maintenance to the property owners
and part to the city at large. Many
petitions were filed on this basis and
these are still pending before the
council.
The new contract offered by the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company fixed
a rate for the installation of the decor
alive lights, but it was held that this
price was higher than the business men
desired to pay for the service.

The demand of the chief OF police.
made in his semi annual report to the
council, for the addition of three more
officers to the force in order that the
new territory annexed to the city may
be given semblance of police protec-
ton, is regarded as an exceedingly mod
est estimate of the needs of that sec
ton of the city along that line. The
chief himself does not pretend that
three extra men will enable him to-
have this territory patrolled as it
should be patrolled-twelve patrolmen
would be nearer the right number-but
his requisition for only this number of
men shows his willingness to get along
the best he can with as few men as
possible. 1t is possible that the views
OF the chief as to the small number of
men he can get along with in that ter
ritory will not coincide with the views
of the people there as to their right
to adequate police service and that
they themselves will make a demand on
the police and fire commission and on
the council for more officers. Such a
demand is certain to come if there is
any outbreak of crime in the annexed
territory, and the people are not like
ly to be pacifed with any explanation
that they are getting as much protec-
ton as other sections of the city. Pc
lice protection was one Of the principal
things that made so many of the people
in the annexed territdry so anxious to
get into the city and they are likely to
demand that they be given more service
than three additional men will provide
for them.

Tt is possible to find places within
the city limits where the noxious weed
law has not been enforced, but as a
general rule the city has been well
cleared Of the noxious weeds that do
damage. Bear in mind also that it is
the fault of the people in the neigbor-
hood that these places have not been
attended to for a report to the street
commissioner of the district or the al
herman Of the ward will get results.
