TO APPEAL BIG SUIT.
Supreme Court to Pass on M. J. O'Don-
nell S Claim Against Telephone Co.

Supreme Court to Pass on M. J. O'Don-
nell s Claim Against Telephone Co.
The supreme court of the state is to
be asked to pass on the claim of M.
j. O'Donnell, the Kenosha attorney,
against the Kenosha Home Telephone
Company, as it was announced today
that the suit of Attorney O'Donnell
against the company recently decided
against h in the circuit court will
be appealed to the higher court at once.
O'Donnen claimed eanages - the
amount of $40, 200 for violation of con-
tract and the amount is still growing
and will continue to 49,, until the
suit is decided by the higher courts.
He alleged failure on the part OF the
company to live up to its contract. In
the trial of the case before Judge w.
B. Quinlan the court decided against
Attorney O'Donnell, holding that the
regulations which the compan- had
made were reasonable" regulations
and that they in no way violated the
contract with him. It is expected that
the argument of the case will be heard
in the supreme court during the sum-
mer months.

mittee on account of the great interest
he has shown in the harbors and break
waters, and Alderman Willems was
given even a more important appoint
ment as chairman on public grounds.
Alderman Gundlach of the eighth ward
was given the important place as chair
man of the railroads and Transports
tion committee and Alderman BounsaIl
another new alderman drew the chair
manship of buildings and waterworks
SO long held by former Alderman
Filben.
Discussion of committee work took
up considerable time during the meet
ing and Alderman Shearer was feat
ured IN an address to the council on
the demands Of the finance committee.
He made strong plea to the members
of the council to follow closely lines
OF economy as suggested by the mayor
IN second inaugural delivered at the
meeting. He urged that every com
mlttee seek to stay as near as possible
within its appropriations for the year.
He showed that strict economy would
be necessary to make possible the COM
pletlon of the year without a very
large deficit.
The reorganization of the council
seemed to be an entirely satisfactory
one to large number of the members
and 1t is certain that the committees
as named will bring harmonious year
of work IN looking after the affairs of
the city.

meeting of the council.

meeting of the council.
There was little business of impor-
tant to come before the council at it's
first working session. The old question
Of the paving Of Ridge street from
Prairie avenue to Grand avenue came
up again with new petition which is
declared to bear the signatures of a
majority of the property owners inter
ested. 1t asks that the street be paved
with brick, on concrete foundation
and with an asphalt filler The petit
tion was referred to the street assess
ment committee to report on the sufi-
cheney of the signatures at the next
meeting of the council.
Petitions were received asking for a
residence district to include the terri
tory in the Second and Third wards
bounded on the west by Bond street,
on the north by Dayton, on the east
by Chicago, and on the south by Strong
street, also for a district including both
sides of Edward street from Prairie
avenue to Salem avenue Both petitions
were referred to special committee
on residence districts named by the
mayor and composed of Aldermen
Sh- arer, Gundlach and Bounsall.
Without objection the question of
electing street commissioners for the
year was laid over until next Monday
evening. A number Of new &pplica-
tions for these positions were received
and the members of the council wanted
more time to investigate the qualifca
tions OF candidates.
The continuation school board sent a
communication to the council asking
that new polling place be found for
the Third ward. For years the base
ment of the Deming school has been
used, but this is now used as a shop for
manual training students and the work
of the school has been badly interfered
with by the elections. The matter was
referred to the committee on buildings
and water works.
Cleaning of the streets of the city
at night was discussed under the lead
of the mayor and it is probable that
this plan viii be followed and that the
old street sweeper viii be put into SER
vice again starting with the first of the
new month.
The council is to be more dignifed
in the future as Mayor Scholey an
nounced ruling that in the future
an alderman to gain the recognition
of the chair must rise. The rule was
followed closely at the meeting on
Monday evening.
The council meeting proved a big
drawing card and the lobby was crowd
ed by friends of the new mayor. 1t was
an appreeiative audience and after
things got working properly there was
applause for everyone. It is not ex-
pected that the council will draw any
more crowded houses as the exciting
work is all over and the council is now

The birds have returned from the
south these many days now, and for the
months of spring and summer, clear
into the frosts of fall, they will all be
with us. Some of them, the hardest
and most courageous, stick it out, fair
weather or foul, and it is as much a
sign of spring to see these old friends
stir about as it is to see the first of
the migratory focks. The people OF
the United States may well congratu
late themselves on theit friendship fol-
the birds.
The Mclean bill, passed by congress
a year or so ago, was practically the
beginning of what appears to be de,
veloping into worldwide legislative
campaign in behalf of the birds. Since
this bill became law many states
have strengthened their statutes and
now foreign governments are taking up

SEEKS MISSING HUSBAND.

Mrs. Angelina Molinaro Asks Police to
Find Man Who Disappeared Week Ago.
Mrs. Angelina Molinaro, residing at
524 Market street, applied to the po-
lice for aid this morning in searching
for her husband, Tony Molinaro, who
disappeared from home on last Tues
day and from whom she has heard
nothing. Mrs. Molinaro seems to be Of
the opinion that her husband has de-
serted her and the four minor children.
He took with him suit ease contain
ing his clothes. Molinaro is twenty
eight years of age and has been in
Kenosha for several years. The police
think it possible that the missing man
is in Racine.

One of the minor MY GERS to which
the Retailers Association should de-
vote little of its attention is the col
lection of the regular licenses from all
peddlers who invade the city. The
members of this organization live in
all sections of the city and it should
be an easy matter for them to get
early information of the invasion by
the travelling merchants of any part of
the city. With the present small force
it is impossible for the police depart
ment to attend to all of the details
of police work in all sections of the
city at all times and it is pretty GER
taini that some Of the peddlers are get
ting through their rounds occasionally
without paying their license fees. BY
simple system of reporting, the asso
citation could keep an absolute check
on all the peddlers and a report to the
police would result in all of the ped
dlers being forced to contribute or get
out. And it is the class Of travellers
who try to dodge the license fees that
most need looking after. If Kenosha
once gets the reputation of looking
closely after the collection Of its IL.
eense money, however, it will not be
long before the fakirs take its name
off the lists of cities that can be

Council Also Refers to New Committee
on Public Health the Question Of

Mayor M. J. Scholey at the meeting

strongly the cooperation of the mem
bers of the council, the health depart
ment and every property owner of the
city in the fort that is to be made to
give Kenosha thorough cleaning. I'm
der the orders of the mayor, backed by
the council, the committee on streets
and alleys of, the council and the city
health officer have been ordered to
search out the dirty places of Kenosha
and they are to be cleaned up before
next Tuesday. The city wagons will
be kept busy disposing of refuse from
lawns and alleys and it is the plan of
the mayor and the council to make this
the most thorough cleaning that Keno
sha has ever had. Mayor Scholey
strongly urged the cleaning up of the
city as the best possible way to elimi
nate disease.
The cleaning is not to be limited to
str Gets and alleys and lawns as reso-
luton was passed by the council direct
ing the committee on health and santa
tion to take Immediate steps to secure
better conditions for the Kenosha river
and as a. new broom is supposed to

committee will get results where other
committees have failed. No plan has
been suggested for the cleaning of the
river and this matter is left up to the
judgment of the committee, which is
expected to report at the next regular

FIND BODY OF MRS. HEMMEN.
Woman Who Disappeared from Wauke-
gan March 18th Met Death in Lake.

The body of Mrs. Selma Hemmen of
Waukegan, the wife Of John Hemmen,
Waukegan photographer, who disap-
peared from home under mysterious
circumstances on March 18th, was
found floating in the lake at Lake
Forest just after four o'clock Monday
afternoon. The body was badly de-
composed and it is thought that it had
been in the lake since the day that the
woman disappeared from her home
Many kenosha people had taken an in
terest in the search that had been
made for RS. Hemmen as it was at
first thought that she had come to this
city. 1t is supposed that Mrs. Hem
men committed suicide by leaping into
the lake while demented. The body
was taken back to Waukegan late Mon
day afternoon and the funeral will be
held on Wednesday afternoon The
unfortunate woman was known to
many people in Kenosha.

Every now and then somebody who
wants to impress the world with his
superior wisdom launches an attack up
on the inaccuracy, sensationalism and
general moral turpitude of the mod
ern newspaper.
The next morning he looks eagerly
for report of his remarks, and prob
ably little later, discussing some other
topic, bases his views upon the infor-
nation that has come to him through
the columns of the very medium he af-
fects to despise.
Collier s Weekly in its current issue
prints the following as the utterance
OF a distinguished Democrat:
Nothing can now be believed that is
seen in newspaper Truth itself be-
comes suspicious by being put into
that polluted vehicle. The real ex-
tent of this state of misinformation is
known only to those who are in situa-
tions to confront facts within. their
knowledge with the lies of the day.

he who reads them.
President Wilson, Secretary Bryan
Champ CLARKE No; none of these. It
was Thomas Jefferson who thus de-
scribed the newspapers of his day-the
good old days of conservative, scholarly
Journalism we so often hear praised.
And yet the republic survives and
the newspaper remains the bulwark of
liberty and the greatest agency of
public enlightenment, in spite of its hui
man faults and its unjust detractors.-
