COMMISSIONER IN CHARGE.
It is Expected That All the Evidence
Necessary in the Matter Can Be
Taken Within Single Day of the
Time of the Commissioners

The railroad commission has set
Wednesday, March 18th as the date for
the hearing on track elevation In Ke-
nosha and the hearing will be held at
the city hall. 1t is expected that Com.
missioner David Harlowe will be in
charge for the commission, bait as the
matter is a most important one it is
expected that at least one of the other
members of the commission win come
to the city to be present and aid with
the taking of testimony.
At this hearing every person, firm
and corporation interested in the ele-
walton of tracks in Kenosha will have
a chance to be heard. 1t is expected
that the city attorney will represent
all property owners in the city who
desire to be heard. Property owners
on South street and Hansen street are
expected to appear In body to de-
mand that the commission provide a
subway for both of these streets in
the general plan of elevation. 1t is
also expected that a number of prop
erty owners will appear to seek the,
installation of subways at other points.
The formal order for the hearing
was issued today and it is expected.
that within the next few days the en-
gineers of the commission will come
to Kenosha to make complete surveys
of all the territory affected by the pro-
posed elevation. The survey made by
the engineers of the commission wiltl
be one of the most valuable exhibits to
be used by the commission in the de-
termination of the final order. In this
survey the nature of all the streets in
the city will be shown and In addition
the commission viii be given a chance
to know just what demand there is for /
subways on the various streets men
toned While the time for prepare +
tion for the hearing is not am too
long the city attorney has had the
matter under consideration for the
past two weeks and he will have his
facts all well in hand for presentation
to the commission
With hearing on March 18th it is
thought that the commission will be,
able to issue the final order for eleva-i
ton on or about the first of MAY,

SEEKING MISSING WORKMAN.
VIM. Leonard Disappeared Last Monday
Morning and Can Not be Found.

The police Of the city were appealed
to this morning to make an effort to
find William Leonard, twenty one years
of age, who left his home on Ridge
street on last Monday morning at six
O'Clock and who has not been seen
since. The request for activity among
the police was made by sister of the
missing man. Leonard had made his
home with his sister and he appeared
to be in good health and spirits when
he left the house announcing that he
was going to his regular work at the
factory. He did not return at the noon
hour and later the sister made an in
vestigation and found that he had not
been at work. The man did not take
any of his clothing with him. The sis
ter believes that Leonard had been sick
and had concealed the fact of his i'll
ness from her. She thinks it possible
that he may have committed suicide
OF have met with foul play So FAR
the police have not been able to find
any trace of the missing man.

City Treasurer Nearly $780,
900 Short in Collecting
Taxes for the Year.
DEL|NQUENTs ARE WARNED

City Treasurer Steinmetz is facing a
big job to collect the delinquent taxes
in Kenosha this year and with a rec
ord tax levy the amount remaining
unpaid at the closing OF the books will
be larger than in former years. At
present there is outstanding little
over $4,000 in real estate taxes. The
largest single amount outstanding is
$500 and it is believed by the treas
urer that at least half Of the delin-
quent real estate tax will be turned III
before the books are surrendered to
the county treasurer on March 10th.
He has set next Tuesday as the last
day for the payment Of this real estate
tax. Of course all of the real estate
tax will be paid as the property Of
delinquents will be sold at the tax
sale to be held in May and in this
way the city will get all of the amounts
uncollected For the most part the
outstanding real estate tax is due from
taxpayers who own small pieces of
property and not little Of the out
standing tax is due for special assess
ments levied under the order of the
common council.
The outstanding personal property
tax this year is about the same as in
the last two years and the collection
of this tax has always been big pro-
blem to the treasurer and the finance
committee of the common council.
Under the law the list of delinquent
personal property taxes must be turn
ed over to the Chief of Police for col
lection and he is given full power TO
seize any property which he can find
and which will be sufficient to meet
the amount claimed as personal taxes.
The collection Of taxes with the patrol
wagon has been tried out in Kenosha
during the past two years and the city
will adopt this plan within the next
ten days. There is a lot of people
who have refused to pay personal
taxes who are well able to pay them
and the treasurer will see to it that
these taxes are collected.
The list of DELINQUENT income taxes
is q little longer than it was last year
but there are no large amounts on the
list. For the most part the lists are
made up of amounts varying from a
few cents to a few dollars. 1t will be
up to Sheriff Achen to make the col
lection of these taxes. Last year
County Treasurer Harman was decid-
edly successful in the collection Of in
come taxes and it is expected that
with the practice gained last year he
will be able to collect every cent of
the tax this year.

Atty. Gen. Owen Says When Bond Is
Preached State Should Sue.

When the bond of saloonkenper is
violated it shall be the duty of the dis
trict attorney to bring an action in the
name Of the state 10 recover the
amount due the state.
This is the opinion of Attorney-Gen-
eral Owen in an opinion given to David
Bogue, district attorney of Columbia
county. Although saloonkeepers of the
state have always been required to give
a bond of $4,000 investigation discloses
that there has never been an action
started FOR recovery in case of a viola
ton by saloonkeeper. The statute
was somewhat ambiguous as to who
should begin action.
"The correct practice in such cases,
it seems to me,o says the attorney
general, lis for the party who is in
possession of the evidence to lay it
before the district attorney and the
district attorney should then make
and sign the complaint and bring the
action in the name of the state. It is
the duty of the district attorney to
prosecute such an action as soon as he
has sufficient evidence in his possession
to show that the bond has been
preached.

State Board of Control For
mally Decides to Adopt
Colorado Plan Here.
kENOSHA TO SEEK LABORERs

County Supervisors of this county
who are interested in the work of road
building received notice this morning
from the State Board Of Control that
it had formally decided that prisoners
ct the state prison at Waupun will be
worked on the roads of the state dur
ing the coming season. 1t is expected
that there will be a big demand for
the work of the convict gangs and the
local committee is anxious to have
one of the first applications come from
Kenosha county The State Board of
Control has not as yet designated in
what part Of the state the convicts
will work and it is understood that
the labor will be apportioned in keep
ing with demands sent out from the
different counties. Troubles over SCI
curing labor were so great in this
county last year that the officials be-
lieve that this will aid materially in
solving the big problem of road work
for the coming season. The State
Board has decided that the prisoners
will be worked under the .shonor sys-
tenn which has been proved success
full in both Colorado and Illinois. The
men will be put to work first on the
roads about the city of Waupun where
the prison is located and later their
work will be used in improving the
roads leading to the new woman S re-
formatory near Fond du Lac
Only men with clean records at the
prison will be permitted to join the
road camps and they will have as a
supervisor one of the officials of the
prison. 1t is not expected that the
state will seek to collect any wages
for the employment of these men but
that their working on the roads will
be a part of the general scheme fol
lowed by the State Board of Control
in finding work for the convicts. It is
said that more than 400 able bodied
men will be available for road work
with the opening of the new season.
1t is probable that the question of
getting some of these men to work in
Kenosha county will be taken up at a
special meeting of the county board
to be held after the spring elections
in April.

FOURTEEN TO SHOW AUTOS
Motorcycle ana Bicycle Dealers to Join
to Make Show in Coliseum Big Sue
cess Manufacturers Showing Inter
est in the Proposed Plans.

Plans are being made for Kenosha S
first automobile show and it is to be
held at the Coliseum on Ashland ave-
nue. some time during the month of
April. The dates for the holding of
the show have not as yet been form
ally decided upon but it is probable
that the dates selected will be April
10th and 18th, Final plans for the
show will be completed at a meeting
of the dealers to be held on Sunday
afternoon. Peter Rhode Of kenosha
and Frank Griffith of Racine have been
in charge Of the promotion Of the snow
and they have been given every assur-
ance that it will be success Four
teen dealers in motor cars in Kenosha
have expressed a willingness to exhibit
at the show and in addition to the au-
tOmobile men there will be exhibits
by dealers in side lines connected with
the automobile and the motorcycle will
also exhibit. The agents have taken
the matter up with the manufacturers
and they have shown some interest in
the Kenosha show. The Jeffrey Com
pany and the J. T. Case Company have
agreed to have a factory exhibit at
the show. 1t is certain that every
inch of space in the Coliseum will be
taken and that the balconies will be
called into service to take care Of some
of the exhibits. The promoters of the
show are planning to have the Coli
scum remodeled in order to meet the
demands for the show. It will be ne
cessary to put in new entrance and
this will probably be on the side of
the building. It is planned to have
the decorations most elaborate and the
promoters feel certain that the show
will prove most attractive one. 1t is
declared that more than three thous-
and people from Kenosha attended the
recent automobile show in Chicago
and this indicated that there was a
great interest in the automobile in Ke-
nosha.
The show in Kenosha will be one of
the first to be given in the smaller
cities of Wisconsin. Milwaukee is the
only city in the state that has an an
nual automobile show and many of the
dealers in the smaller cities have peea
considering the plan for boiling an
annual exhibit of thar new models.
The success of the Kenosha show
will be watched with a great deal of
interest by dealers in other cities.
Plans have been made for wide adver-
tisement of the show to be held in this
city. 1t is expected that it will prove
attractive not only to the people of
Kenosha city and county but that it
will also bring to the city many people
from Racine and other counties sur
Local agents for the different auto
mobile companies have their new mod
els in stock at present and they hope
that the trade will be greatly stimu-
lated by the proposed show

follows: Two or three pounds of arsen-
ate of lead to fifty gallons of water,
to be sprayed with Bordeaux pump.
This spray is better than paris green,
according to Prof. Sanders. To fight
the sucking insects kerosene emulsion
should be used. The receipt for the
emulsion follows: One gallon of soft
water, one-fourth pound Of soap and
two gallons Of kerosene In order to
make spray of this emulsion it should
be mixed with six parts of water.

The state law passed at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature provides that
school boards shall elect teachers at the
May meeting, but following the custom
established some years ago the Keno
sha board will elect the teachers at its
next meeting The Kenosha board de-
cided long ago that in fairness to the
teachers contracts for the next year
should be offered them early in the
spring so that if for any reason any
Of the teachers were let out here, they
would have an opportunity to place
themselves in other cities before all of
the desirable positions were taken and
it is the intention to continue this
policy unless it is found that the con-
tracts entered into are not binding be-
cause of the passage of the state law.
The teacher IS committee of the board
and the superintendent of schools are
pleased with the present teaching staff
and contracts for another year will be
offered all of the teachers now in serv-
ice in the schools. 1t will be good
thing for the schools if all of the pres
ent teaching staff decides to remain in
Kenosha for there is nothing so detri-
mental to the schools as frequent
changes of teachers. If any of the
teachers have made up their minds to
resign their position, it is expected
that they win show their appreciation
of the fairness of the board and make
their intentions known to the board at
once in order that the board may have
plenty of time to secure properly quail
fec teachers to fill the vacancies.

PAYS FINE But NO MARRIAGE
Man Who Had Been Arrested on statu-
tory Charge Willing to Wed Com
planning Witness But the Court and
District Attorney Call Halt.

The much abused eugenics law relat-
found friends in Kenosha county in just
one case and this was bror ght to light
in the municipal court this morning
when friends of Luigi Romantini, an
Italian, arrested some time ago on
charges of a statutory nature sought TO
secure his release. The Italian was ar
rested on the complaint of Teresa Gil
otti and when he was first brought into
court he expressed a willingness to
marry the young woman. This seemed
to be the happy solution of the case
and RoI1antini was sent out to get a
marriage license. He applied to ply
stefan for certificate of health and
failed to get one. Without the certif-
cate the marriage was out of the ques-
ton. Romantini returned to the court
and declared his willingness to marry
tie girl in any method that the officials
might see fit to approve. 1t was de-
clared that acting under the instruc-
tions of the attorney general at Madi-
son, case in Waukesha county had
been disposed Of by common law mar
riage.
After making careful investigation
into the condition of Romantini and the
young woman, neither Judge Randall
nor the district attorney would counten-
ance the common law marriage. They
declared that they believed that it
would be much better to have Roman
TIM appear in court and pay fine than
to have him married to the young wo-
man under a common law or any other
form of marriage ceremony. They held
that if the eugenics law had any vir-
tue in it this was one case where the
provisions of the law should be en-
forced and that to permit common
law marriage in the case would be an
offense against the common health.
The young woman appeared to be will
ing to marry her Italian lover, but it is
certain that the court will not permit
such marriage.
This is one of the very interesting
developments Of the eugenics law and
the officials of the various counties in
the state have been planning to have
the legislature make some new law to
cover just such cases as the one in the
court here. Romantini did not appear in
court today, but it is expected that he
will plead to some charge on next Mon
day.
