WORK OF COMMITTEES READY
Veteran Chairman Declares That it is
His Plan to Have the Work of Nc
vember Session Finished in Eleven
Days State Works Out Road Plan.

Regardless Of the excitement attend
ing the election John I. Yule, the vet
eran chairman of the county board was
busy today getting ready for the SEES
sion which opens on next Tuesday and
he has a new slogan ready. 1t is,
Complete the Work of the Board in
Eleven Days. Mr.. Yule has been the
consistent foe to long sessions of the
county solons and he has cajoled the
members with threats and spurred them
on with offers of dinners in order to
have the work of the board completed
on record time. Notwithstanding eff
forts in the past it has been custom
airy for the sessions of the board to
continue to the full number of days
allowed by the state law and usually
just few days more.
This year Chairman Yule is starting
things early and he has sent out a call
demanding that all bills against the
county be filed so that they may be
placed in the hands of the committee
on the first day of the session on next
Tuesday. There will be no delay of
the board getting down to work this
year as the officers have been elected
and the committees appointed so that
all that remains to be done is to dis
tribute the work and have the commit
tees get busy. Chairman Yule holds
that with these arrangements it should
be possible to close up the work of the
November session in eleven days.
There is a lot of discussion among
the board members as to just what IS
to be done to unravel the tangle about
the road work, but it is thought that
this will all be worked out by the state
highway commission and report sent
to the county board which will make
it possible for the board to dispose of
the road question in single session.
Since the court decided against the ac-
ceptance of gifts toward road building
by Wisconsin counties, the state COM
mission has been busy with the attor-
ney general and it is expected that
some plan will be worked out which
may be followed by all the counties in
the state. The members of the local
board seem to be willing to base the
levy for highway Improvements on the
amounts regularly appropriated by the
various towns in the county. 1t is ex-
pected that the report of the state
commission will be sent out within the
next few days. In the meantime Chair
man Yule is making strong effort to
get the other work ready for the COM
mittees so that there will be no delay
in getting the board meeting out of
the way.

A BIG SUCCESS.
Ant Can't Club of Congregational
Church Presents ''His Uncle john

An appreciative audience greeted
the Anti-Can't Club of young men at
the Congregational church last night
il their first appearance on the drama
tic stage. The play was His Uncle
john" four act college comedy, in
Y. hich the plot revolves around the Wis
l. of his uncle John to Jack Sanderson,
after the latter has married, while in
college, and contrary to his uncle's ex-
press command. Jack s friend comes
tc the rescue by pretending when the
uncle is present that he is the husband
and Jack only a boarder; but the APP
pearance of other friends not in on the
secret causes much numerous confu-
sion, an dthe plot to fool the uncle is
finally laid bare. The parts of the two
young women and the landlady were
very realistically taken by Albert Har-
tig, Harold Curtis and Dean Buckmas
ter. With their conscious gracefulness
and little feminine touches they kept
the audience chuckling. Carl Winde-
sheim slipped without effort into the
part OF the typical Jolly, easygolng col
.lege man; his friend, Walter Perkins,
proved himself capable of being a
friend indeed, making the most Of his
assumed role of husband, taking evil
dent delight in the real husband s dis
comfture. Russell Mainland locke 1
and acted the dignifed part of side
whiskered Uncle John, all unconscious
Of the trouble he was producing. Will
liam Voltz, the blunt football friend,
played the innocent part of letting in
the light on the whole plot. There was
never minute in the play when the
audience was not laughing, often to the
point of drowning the words from the
stage. The whole cast made decided
hit. Credit is due to Mrs Faville for
weeks of successful training for the
parts.

WATCH INFANT PARALYSIS.
Four More Guarantees for the Disease
Established on the West Side.

-Four new guarantees for infant
paralysis have been established by the
city board of health and DR.. j. j.
McShane is showing considerable anxi-
ETY. about the spread of this dread
disease among the children. He de-
clared today that the cases so far dis
covered had been light cases of the
disease and that he did not expect any
deaths from the cases now in quaran-
tine All four guarantees are on the
west side of the city and in widely
scattered districts. Sudden deaths of
children in Kenosha in the past few
weeks have elected great deal of in
terest from physicians and every case
of this kind is now being very closely
investigated by the health officer. The
ouarantines for infantile paralysis are
being maintained with the same yigor
IS has been shown in cases of scarlet
fever anu diphtheria and the officials
are inclined to believe that the disease
among the children is worthy Of their
hardest efforts.

tired out to celebrate. The election has
emphasized the independent spirit of
the voters in the county. 1t is certain
that the use of paper ballots cut con
siderable part in the outcome of the
day as the voters found it easier to
split the ticket under the old form of
voting than on the machines.
There was little soreness among the
defeated candidates and their friends.
There never was a campaign in Keno
sha county more clearly fought out and
the election leaves nothing to be re-
gretted by the candidates. The new
men will go into Office next January
with a feeling that they will have the
united support of the people of the
county.

Notable Tribute Paid to Former City
Official at st. George Church Today


All that was mortal of the late
Matthias Greenwald, former president
of the common council and former
president of the board of water com
missioners was laid at rest in St.
George cemetery just before noon to-
day and people of Kenosha paid a not
able tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased city official. In the long cor
tege which followed the remains to
their last resting place were many of
the officials of the city. The police
department was represented by pla-
toon of officers in full uniform, the
mayor, city officials and members of
the common council attended the fun
eral in a body and six members of the
council acted as honorary pail bearers.
Members of the water board and mem
bers of the fire department were also
present at the funeral and large dele
cation of the members of the Kenosha
lodge of Elks turned out to show re-
spect to the memory of the dead. The
high mass was celebrated by the Rev.
Father Nickel, pastor of st. George
church, and it is seldom that so large
crowd had gathered at any church
in the city to pay tribute to the mem
DRY of any man.

MAY GET MORE MONEY LATER
Counties of the State Fail to Claim
Full Appropriation for Road Work
and Kenosha County May Share in
Second Allotment to be Made in 1915.

Kenosha county is TO have the full
amount claimed for the state for the
building of highways in 1915 as County
Clerk Russell HI. Jones this morning re-
ceived from the commission state
ment of the apportionment of the road
fund. This year the amount appropri-
ated by the state is sufficient to meet
all demands and the total for Kenosha
county is $13,253. The possibility Of
this amount being increased later is
shown in the formal notice from the
state commission. The formal allot-
ment of the money for road work is as
follows:
October 80, 1914,
Mr.. Russell 81. Jones, County Clerk,
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:-The Wisconsin Highway
commission on or about October LIST,
1914, received from you notice that
the following governmental units in
Kenosha county had raised the amounts
given below for state aid road and
bridge construction in 1915, under the
provisions of Section 1317m-15 to
1317m-15, inclusive, of the statutes.
The amounts hereinafter stated are
exclusive of the state and county aid
petitioned for by the various towns
under the so-called "force clause" of
the state highway law. This is due to
the fact that the supreme court has
declared this portion of the law uncon-
stitutional, and we have been directed
by the attorney general not to grant
any petitions originating under the
force clause; except where the towns
share of these improvements was pro-
vided by voluntary action of the cleo
tors at town meeting.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-11-05

The amounts raised by the units of
government as above demand $4,000
in state aid for roads, and $653.00 in
state aid for bridges, a total amount
of $13 ,253.00.
The total of the requests for state
aid for roads and bridges from all the
counties in Wisconsin for 1915 work
is 81, 1908, 17201. Inasmuch as the
amount available from the state to
meet these applications is $1,250,000,
there are sufficient funds available to
meet the applications from every
county in full, and there is hereby al
lotted to Kenosha county the sum of
$13 ,25300, which is the total amount
of state aid requested.
Inasmuch as state aid is granted in
full upon all applications, the county
board has no option but to vote an
amount equal to the total amount vot-
ed by the towns, villages and cities in
the county, and to allot to each unit of
government the full county and state
aid called for by their appropriations.

the distribution by the Wisconsin

Forty-One True Bills.

Over in Minden, where jury term of
the Second District Court was convened
on the third Monday in June, there seems
to be plenty to claim the attention OF
the Judge, District Attorney and mem
bers Of the local bar. The Grand Jury
has finished its labors for the term, hav-
ing investigated seventy-two cases and
found forty-one true bills. Three para
graphs from its report read as follows:
"We have carefully and diligently in
quired into total of seventy-two cases;
found forty-one true bills; returned
eighteen no bills, and have continued
eleven cases with instructions to the
District Attorney to file bills of informa-
ton, if the law and evidence justify him
in SO doing.
"We have had large number Of wit
nesses before US and have experienced
great difficulty in securing evidence
sufficient to indite in many cases in
which we verify believe that the law has
been violated. We find this especially
true as regards violations of the prohibi-
ton and game laws. We would especially
urge the good and law-abiding citizens
of Webster Parish to exercise great
diligence in experimenting and bringing
