WANTS WEDDING CERTIFICATE.
Man in Chicago Jail Seeks Certificate
of Marriage to Secure His Release.

Chief of Police Hare this morning
received frantic letter from Nicholas
Basile, who is now being held in the
Cook county jail in Chicago, on a
statutory charge, asking that the chief
come to his rescue by furnishing him
& copy of marriage certificate which
he declares was signed in Kenosha
some time last fa1l Basile declares
that he was married to Miss Carrie
Juliana, Kenosha woman and that the
ceremony was performed by justice
of the peace who had an office just
across from the city hall. He asserts
that proof of the marriage is all that
he needs to get him out of Jail, but that
he must have it quick. There is no
justice shop just across from the city
hall, but even if the man is wrong in
this claim in his letter the chief is
making an investigation of the marri-
age records of the county with a view
of getting the fellow out of Jail if pos
sible. The name of Basile does not
appear in the Kenosha directory and
no one can be found in the city who
knows anything about him.

road and what are the returns that the
investment yields to the community.
These returns are of various kinds.
First and foremost is the reduction IN
the actual cost of hauling, the plain
fact that it takes less time and labor
to haul load over a good 70. d than
over a poor one. Less obvious is the
effect of improved roads in increasing
the total output of community. In
the ease of one county in Virginia,
where particularly thorough records
have been kept, this output was more
than doubled, The farmers found that
with market always and readily ac-
cessible TO them, it paid to work the
land to its maximum production.
This explains the very remarkable
rise IN farm land values which nearly
always accompanies road improvement
The rise is not fictitious one of no
benefit to the man who wishes to farm
not to sell. The land is more valuable
because it can proftably be made to
produce more. In other words, the
money that goes into the road comes
back with interest from the land.

Curtis Allen Arrested at
Twin Lakes Fixes His Own
Sentence in Court Here.
HAD ENTERED HOTEL At NIGHT

Curtis Allen, forty-three years of age
and well known to the people of the
towns of Randall and Wheatland in the
western part of the county voluntarily
exiled himself from Kenosha county
for term of three years today and
under bond with a penalty of $500
he left Kenosha for Milwaukee with
the understanding that he is not to
return without the permission of the
judge of the municipal court.
Allen was arrested early this morn
ing at the Waldeck Hotel on Twin
LaFes. He had entered the hotel
through one of the rear doors and was
prowling about in the place when he
was found by John Cappelin, the pro-
prietor of the hotel and overpowered
and later turned over to constable
who brought him to Kenosha. Cappelin
was unwilling to prefer charges of house
breaking against Allen and it was ad-
mitted that he was intoxicated at the
time he entered the summer resort ho-
tel. Allen s wife and two daughters
have been employed at the Waldeck for
some time and they are said to be in
great fear that Allen will do them
bodily harm. Allen has been to the
hotel on several occasions and had
been ordered to stay away from the
place. 1t was alleged by people at the
hotel that Allen following quarrels with
his wife had made threats against her
and the woman has been in fear of
him for some time and had asked that
he be prevented from disturbing her
at the hotel.
There was no sigL of threats in Allen
when he was brought into court this
morning and he pleaded hard to escape
being arraigned on a criminal com
plant. He appeared to be willing to
do pretty nearly anything rather than
to get behind the bars and Cappelin and
the wife appeared to be satisfied in the
plan of having Allen sign peace bond
and agree to remain away from the
county. Allen hurried to accept the
suggestion and as soon as the bond
could be drawn he affixed his signature.
He was sick man and before he was
sent out of the city and coutny he was
taken over to the county jail and a
physician called to attend him. Later
in the morning he elected to go to Mil
waukee and Sheriff Achen saw to it
that he was put aboard train with a
ticket with no return privileges. Allen
has lived in Wheatland for NAM
years and his troubles with his wife
have been well known to the people
in that part of the county.

ROSA MAY Be AGAINST HIM
Local Politicians Still Busy Working
Out Plans for Primary Campaign and
Other Petitions May Be Taken Out
During the Next Few Days.

Congressman Henry Allan Cooper of
Racine will not be candidate TO. the
Office of United States senator in Wis
consin but will seek reelection to the
lower house of congress for the First
Wisconsin District. The petitions of
Congressman Cooper reached Kenosha
for circulation today and they will be
sent to all parts of the county. The
congressman left for Washington late
Wednesday night and he did not an
nounce his decision to keep out of the
race for United States sentaor until
few minutes before he left for Wash
ington. Up to that time it was de-
clared that the congressman had been
undecided. In seeking denomination
for the Office he has held for so many
years the congressman told his friends
in Racine that it would be impossible
for him to give the time which would
be necessary to make a canvass for the
republican nomination for United
States senator. Many of the friends
Of Mr., Cooper have been disappointed
by his decision. They believed that
this was the year for Mr.. Cooper to
get place in the United States senate.
Two years from now Senator LaFol-
lette will be candidate for re-elec-
tion and the man who opposes him will
have to make an exceedingly hot cam
paign to make it successful one.
The decision of Congressman Cooper
to seek a denomination for congress
will interest number of men in the
district. Judge Rosa Beloit, who
had been very active i'll the last SEES
sion of the assembly, has been ready
to take out his papers for member of
congress just as soon as Mr.. Cooper
made his decision It is not thought
probable that Rosa will oppose Cooper
for the nomination, but this is not at
all certain. Judge Rosa may decide to
come into the race as an opponent
of Mr.. Cooper.
The cleaning up Of the congressional
situation has caused the republican
leaders in Kenosha county to take a
greater interest in the nomination of
candidates for the assembly and for
state senator. Several meetings have
been held with prospective candidates.
d. j. Vincent of the town of Salem, is
being prominently mentioned as a can
didate for the republican nomination
for the assembly. The republicans of
the county are clamoring for represen-
tation on the republican ticket and it
is certain that the candidacy of Mr..
Vincent would meet with lot of sup
port both in the rural districts of the
county and in the city. Vincent is to
make a decision in the matter the lat
ter part of this week. Efforts are still
being made by the friends of John H.
Hegeman to get him into the race for
the nomination for member of the as
sembly.
The petitions for Assemblyman Pfen-
mig as a candidate for state senator are
not as yet in circulation, but his
friends are hopeful that he will make
final decision in the matter this week
and that this will be favorable to his
getting into the race against Charles
II. Everett of Racine.
