A HOUSE DIVIDED.
Two Families Residing in Same Flat
Make Trouble for the Police

IA House Divided was the title
of little comedy staged in the NUM-
cipal court this morning when Harry
Winn, residing at the corner of Strong
and West street, was brought to court
charged with making an assault on Mrs.
Anna M. Molter, who occupies an apart
ment in the same house. Winn was re-
leased on his own recognizance pend
ing the adjourned hearing of the case
on Tuesday morning. He was charged
with having brutally assaulted Mrs.
Molter. A daughter Of the woman who
insisted on her right to pluck the ap-
pies from the tree in the rear of the
fat is said to have been the cause Of
the trouble starting. The daughter al
legged to the district attorney that she
also was struck by VIM. This is the
second time that the same people have
been in court, but on the former occa-
sion Mrs. Motor was named as the
defendant.

PFENNIG STILL HEs|1ATEs
Friends Ready to Circulate His Peti-
lions for State Senator But He Fails
to Give Signal-Fa Farmers Show More
Interest il Crops Than Politics.

The last week of the pre-primary
campaign opened this morning and with
it came unusual activities among the
candidates. Under the ruling of the
secretary of state petitions for eandi-
dates may be fled up to midnight next
Saturday night and after this the can
didates will have full month 20 fight
out the primary campaign. Dark
horses" are now due to make their
appearance, but it is not expected that
there will be any extended number OF
eleventh hour candidates. in Kenosha
county
The social democrats on Saturday
afternoon secured petitions for all of
the seven offices in the county and it
was declared that these petitions would
be filed some time during the week,
Leaders of the Kenosha county re-
publicans this morning had petitions
ready to send out for the nomination
of Assemblyman Charles I'll. Pfennig as
"a candidate for state senator in the
Racine-Kenosha county district. AS
semblyman Pfennig has not as yet said
the word to get the petitions in cir
culation and he has declared to the men
urging him to get into the race that
he prefers to retire from political life.
Kenosha county is not being both
cred to any great extent by candidates
for places on the state ticket and these
men seem to think that there is little
hope Of getting any great support for
any one in this county. Men who are
candidates for Office have repeatedly re-
fused to have any part in circulating
papers for the state candidates insist
ing that they did not care to endanger
their own political advancement by
mixing in state row. This has been
true among both the republicans and
1.-The democrats and there is scarcely a
candidate for state Office who has re-
Iceived any petitions for this county
The democrats have in a measure lined
up behind Judge Karel of Milwaukee
in the race for the democratic nomina-
tion for governor, but even the support
given him has been of a maudlin ma
ture and no great enthusiasm is being
shown for him.
The petitions of Thomas M. Kearney
of Racine as candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator have been generally circulated
throughout this county and the demo
Gratis are strongly urging his candidacy.
Not single one of the republican can
didates for United States senator has
managed to get his petitions cireulat-
ed here and petitions sent to the county
have been returned without signatures.
The candidates are evidently DESTROYS
of holding up their strength to the last
minute and less tran a half a dozen
petitions have been filed by county cal.
didates and few of them have filed sig
natures enough to get their names on
the primary ballot. The efforts to inter
est the farmers in the campaign have
been of no avail as they are a lot
more interested in harvesting the bump
er crop of oats than in politics. 1t is
expected that the harvest will be over
in time to let the farmers vote at the
primary election.

SEND REPORTS TO MADISON.
Chief of Fire Department Must For
ward Reports of Insurance Adjusted

Chief Of the fire department, Henry
Isermann, has received demand from
the state fire marshal at Madison that
he send forthwith to the Office of that
reports Of all insurance ad-
justments made in Kenosha since the
first Of July and that in the future
such reports be forwarded directly to
the Office Of the state department in
stead of filing them in the Office Of the
chief of the department here. For
years these records have been left in
Kenosha and the state department has
collected its information by sending its
own representatives to the Offices of the
various companies writing insurance in
the state. No provision is made to pay
the cost of sending these reports to
Madison and it is probable that Chief
Isermann will refuse to comply with
the order of the state fire marshal and
insist that his men come to Kenosha
and make copies of the adjusters re-
ports. He holds that these records are
and valuable as a part of the
reEords of the local fire department.

The appeal Of the railroads to ship
pars to use every possible means to ex-
pedite freight shipments so that the
rolling stock Of the roads can be re-
leased for the movement of the bumper
crops will be responded to unanimously
by the merchants and manufacturers of
the country and they win help out the
railways by every means in their power.
They realize that the aforesaid bumper
crop has saved the country from big
ger panic than any it ever experienced
and they are even more anxious than
the railroads to get the money the crop
will bring into circulation.

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID.
Man Thought to be from Kenosha Com
mitted Suicide at Lansing, Mich.

Joseph Miller, thought to be- from
Kenosha and a man about forty years
of age, committed suicide at Lansing,
Michigan, on Saturday night or Sunday
by drinking carbolic acid. Nothing was
known about Miller in the Michigan
city and he was found dead in low
class rooming house. 1t was said by
the manager of the house that he had
been at the place for the last four days
and was supposed to have come there
from Detroit. He had several articles
in his pockets which had been picked
up in Kenosha and which bore the
name of this city. At the police de-
partment nothing had been heard in
regard to the suicide Of the man and all
the facts received were in short press
dispatches, So far as can be learned
no one by the name of "Joseph Mil
ler' is missing from Kenosha and it is
just probable that the man has no
connection with this city.

To all appearances the track eleva-
ton project is no farther forward than
it was three months ago. The state
railroad commission has set no time for
any further hearings in this matter, if
any are to be held and no intination
has BEEN given as to the date when the
formal order for elevation may be ex-
pected. The present city administration
has made no attempt to hurry matters
and tn commission appears to be con
tent to let matters rest as they arc for
the time being The truth of the mat
ter is that the com mission is over
whelmed with work and the probabili-
ties are that all matters, including the
Kenosha track elevation petitions, on
which there is not an insistent demand
for imm ,diate action are being put
aside until the commission has more
time to consider them.

SEEKS REPUBLICANS FAVOR
Well Known Salem Man Will Contest
With Frank S. Symmonds for Lead
ing Place on the Republican Ticket
Dark Horse Candidates Expected.

Frank j. Symmonds is not going to
have run away race for the nomina-
ton as the republican candidate for
member of the assembly from Kenosha
county as on Friday afternoon petit
lions were taken out for the nomina-
ton of D. j. Vincent of the town of
Salem and strong campaign is to be
made to secure his nomination.
Mr.. Vincent is widely known not
only in the city but also in all parts
of the county. He was born and raised
in the town of Salem and has spent his
entire life in Kelosha county. He has
been active in the political life of the
county, but this is the first time that
he has been candidate for county
office. As Mr. Vincent has been a
student of political conditions in Wis
consin his friends hold that he is es-
pecially well qualified to represent the
county in the lower branch of the leg
islature. His nomination is strongly
urged by the republicans in the towns
of the county as they hold that these
towns are entitled to representation on
the republican ticket. Mr.. Vincent has
served his town as town chairman and
for twelve years has been member of
the district board Of education in his
home district. He has been particular
ly free of fractional politics during re-
cent years and is assured hearty sup
port from the party.
With the announcement that Mr..
Vincent would enter the race as can
didate for the nomination for member
of the assembly, the party leaders in
Kenosha county are redoubling their
efforts to have Charles H. Pfennig
make the race for state senator in the
third district. Mr.. Pfennig has prom
Used to give his decision the first of
next week and if it is favorable one
his petitions will be circulated at once.
Mr.. Pfennig has insisted to the party
leaders that it would be his preference
to retire from politics, but his friends
are strongly urging him to make the
race for the state senate.
Both republican and democratic lead
ers are busy filing up what they con
slider weak places on the tickets and it
is not improbable that there will be a
number of new candidates in the race
within the next few days.
The social democrats have decided
to make final effort to get county
ticket into the field and the leaders of
that party are now at work securing
the list of candidates. AS the vote cast
by the social democrats was small in
the last general election only a few
signatures will be required to get the
names Of candidates on the official
primary ballot and these names could
be secured in the city in half an hour
after the list of candidates has been
decided upon. It is expected that some
formal announcement of the list of
social democratic candidates will be
made the first of next week.

While it is improbable that the Ke-
nosha health officers will go to the
length of attempting to divert milk
shipments to that city from this county
it is certain that they ere in full sym
pathy with the campaign of the Nit
waukee health officers to enforce tho
lew recently passed which forbids the
sale of any milk except that from cows
which have been tested for tubercuo-
sic in that city. In guarding the milk
supply it is a case of all for one and
one for all with the health officers aud
the Kenosha officials realize that they
may soon be in exactly the same kind
of fight as the Milwaukee men are
now waging There is nothing that is
watched so closely by the Kenosha
board of health as the milk supply of
the city and the advisability of asking
for the same ordinance that Milwaukee
is trying to enforce for Kenosha is I'M
der consideration.

GET MANY COMPLAINTS.
Police Asked to Arrest People Who
Throw Glass on Public Highways.

Throw VidSS on PuDllc highways.
The police of the city received an
unusually large number of complaints
today of glass thrown On the public
streets of the city and as result the
patrolmen have been given strict
orders to arrest any one who may be
found throwing broken g.-.ss on the
streets. Half a dozen automobile tires
were cut to pieces on the streets on
Saturday and Sunday as result; of the
glass being scattered about. Some of
the automobile drivers declare that the
throwing of the glass was done with
malice aforethought with a view of
causing automobiles to keep off of GER
tain streets in the city. The city has
an ordinance which makes it fneable
otfeA-, to throw broken - on the
streets and it is thought that few
arrests with good fines will result in
the nuisance being abated. Two cars
from out of the city were caught by
teh broken glass on Sunday evening
and the people driving them were fore
ed to remain in Kenosha over night
to have the tires repaired.

PLAN FOR CLAM BAKE,
Racine and Kenosha Elks to Unite in
Feed at Central Park This Summer.

Racine and Kenosha Elks will return
to the old plan of holding a joint clam
bake this summer and plans are now
being made for the big feed" which
is 70 be held at Central Park late in
August. James Ferris is chairman of
the committee in charge of the bake
and he will have sub committees from
both the Racine and Kenosha lodges.
Last year the Kenosha lodge was alone
in giving the bake, the Racine mem
bers of the order providing for bake
of their own. The PLAN was not pleas
ing to the members of either of the
lodges and this year members of both
lodges are unanimous for the joint
meeting. The date for the big gather
ing will be announced within the next
few days and the committee gives as
surance that it will surpass anything
ever given by the two lodges.

The Pomeroy street property owners
are making no mistake in circulating
TIER paving petition at this time and
property owners on other streets, who
contemplate improving their streets
next year should follow their example
1t is not probable that any more paw

the city in time to have the work com,
pleted this fall but there is every rea-
son for property owners contemplating
improvements to get their petitions in
to the council at this time. Plenty of
time should be allowed on all paving
Jobs. The streets should be given
time to settle after the preliminary
work of putting in gas and water con-

prices. The material men are always
willing to shade their prices a little
to keep their plants in operation dur,
ing the winter months and the contrac-
tors on paving should give the property
owners the benefit of these reductions.
There is no desire to hurry any proper

before they are ready for them, but if
they are going to have the work done
next summer they should be able to get
better iot fos less money by starting

some trace of julius Kulich aged
twenty-five years, who has been miss

appeared to be in the best Of health
and spirits when he left his home af-
ter supper Saturday evening and he
stated that he would retu-~, in a short
time. The wife made the appo i t, the
police this morning and she appeared
to be greatly distressed over the con-

absence from home. The police made a
search of the city today, but found no

GET SENATOR'S HELP.
Friends of LaFollette Expected to Aid
in Fight for Votes for Women.

There are quite number of the
close friends of Senator LaFollette
who are not in sympathy with his de-
sire to make the woman suffrage ques-
ton a prominent issue from the repub-
hcan standpoint in the coming cam
paign. The Madison contingent of La
Toilette leaders who are supposed to be
as close to the senator as any people in
the state, have been receiving numerous
questions during the last few days and
especially since the public announce
ment that Senator LaFollette desired
to- make the woman suffrage question a
prominent issue in the campaign, as
to whether it is true Senator LaFol-
let,e is really planning to make woman
suffrage one Of his battle cries in this
state. 1t is said the answers to these
questions have confirmed the statements
that the senator hopes the republican
party would take a firm stand in it's
platform for woman suffrage, and that
he is intending in any speeches which
he may mako IA Wisconsin this fall to
advocate the cause of woman suffrage
A Play for Future?
There are some LaFollette people
who are aware of the stand of, Senator
LaFollette in favor of the woman stuff
rage issue who believe the senator is
more or less playing for the future in
his support of woman suffrage, and that
one of the reason s he desires the wom-
an suffrage issue shall be raised in this
campaign is that he believes it will be
a popular issue at some future day, and
that its early discussion by him will be
to his political advantage in future
campaigns
The woman suffrage leaders through
out the state are very much pleased
with the information which is now be-
ing given out practically officially of
the decision of Senator LaFollette to
make fight for woman suffrage in
this state, and declare that it will
eventually help Senator LaFollette ma
terially and increase his strength as a
political leader in Wisconsin.
Suffrage Leaders Gratifed.
The woman suffrage leaders make the
statement that the sentiment for wom-
an suffrage in Wisconsin is increasing
daily, and they seem to believe that
there is no doubt that a bill will be
passed by the coming legislature which
will provide for the submission of the
woman suffrage question to the people
again, and that the second vote which
will be taken in the state on the wom-
an suffrage question will result in grant
ing to women the right of the ballot
1t is said that since the public an
nouncement of the attitude of Senator
LaFollette on the woman suffrage ques-
tion, a number of the prominent wom-
en- of the state who are believers in
woman suffrage have written to the SEN
ator congratulating him on the fact
that he has decided to become an open
champion Of the woman suffrage cause.
The woman suffrage leaders are just
at present canvassing candidates for
legislative nominations, to obtain their
views on the woman suffrage question
