GETS AFTER sCHoLEY.
DR.. Farr Answers Libels Circulated in
Behalf of Opponent.

Mat! Mat! my friend, l hope you do
not approve of your henchmen cir
culating the contemplate lies about
me, that are spreading over the city.
You know they are shameful misreprs.
sentations. You know that [ an In
eral, on the square, an honorable and
9 law abiding citizen. You know that
| am appealing to men for support and
that | am not and never will appeal tc
the vicious, or promise them anything,
to get their vote. Reports came in This
evening over the telephone that if
Farr was elected he would stop all pub
lie dances. This is almost too absurd
to notice. Now my church gives pub
lie dances at the Guild hall. Firemen,
BARRIERS, charitable societies the ElNs,
my friends the Hebrews, all and many
others give public dances. How absurd
to circulate that I would stop public
dances. However, if any public dance
was disreputable and stencil in the
public nostrils you bet [ would stop it,
because [ do not approve of such
dances and if for no other reason, than
to save me from being mobbed and
hanged. [ would certainly stop them.
These stories to have been effective
Mat, ought to have been circulated
later in the campaign. Remember l
appeal to the public for the support
and vote of men, not ours and fools.
| suppose the next pipe dream or
fairy tale will be that l stole sheep,
and even went so far as TO steal. the
pennies off from my dead grand
mothers eyes. t+tste.*-e
Truly yours,

Members of the Modern Woodmen
Of America from all parts of Kenosha
county came to Kenosha today and at
noon today met about the banquet
board at the Hotel Kenosha in a
" fellowship banquet" arranged by
members of the Kenosha camp The
banquet was preliminary TO the ses-
sions of the county camp which CON
'vened at the Woodman hall this after
noon. At the banquet covers were laid
for forty and representatives of every
camp in the county were present. The
dinner was informal and no effort was
made to interject long speeches or the
various issues to be taken up at the
county camp meeting. The few
speeches made were along the lines of
good fellowship and united action
among the camps of the county.
The session of the county camp was
called TO order by Glenn Huff, secre-
tary of the Kenosha camp, and thirty
two delegates were on hand to repre-
sent the six camps in Kenosha. The
camps represented included Pleasant
Prairie Bristol, Salem, Wilmot, Somers
and Kenosha. Tt is expected that the
county camp will be in session duriag
the entire afternoon and lot of mat
tiers of interest will be taken up.
OF course the. me5ter of first inter.
est is the stand that Kenosha county
will take on the proposed change n
the rates of the order. This is to be
the big feature at the session of the
state camp to be held at Fond du Lac
in May and of the head camp which
is to be held in Toledo in June. At
both of these sessions the matter of
change of rates will be discussed. For
the most part the Kenosha Woodmen
.tration of the head camp of the order
but there is some strong opposition 10
this management among the camps In
the western part of the county. The
probably place Kenosha county OH
record, Several sets of resolutions
Lave been prepared and it is expected
that one of them will be passed.
At the. session this afternoon two
delegates will be elected to represent
the county at the state camp session
at Fond du Lac and at this session
the delegates from Wisconsin to the
head camp will be chosen A strong
effort is being made by both factions
in the order to control the delegates
sent to the Toledo session.

Alvin Haubricht of Kenosha One of the
Boys Who Escaped Industrial School
The police officers of the city this
morning received telephone message
from the officials at the state reform
school at Waukesha notifying them
that four of the inmates of the school
had made daring escape from the IN
stitution on Tuesday afternoon. The
four boys included Alvin Hahbricht of
Kenosha and Raymond Rentz, John
Thompson and James Demmedd The
boys had been at work on the grounds
about the school when they made a
rush for the fence and managed to get
away before the guards could stop
them. All of the boys wore the uni
forms Of the institution and it is
thought that this will aid materially m
capturing them. It is though. posi-
BILE that the clipping inmates viii come
to Kenosha and the police are keeping
a close watch for them. Hanbrieht

REDUCE THE STATE TAXES
Assemblyman Pfennig Declares That
Appropriations Were Made in Good
Faith But He Would Be Favorable TO
Extending Time of Collections.

A formal petition signed by taxpay-
ers in all parts of the state, including
Kenosha county, was sent to the ;,ov-
ernor on Tuesday afternoon demand
ing that special legislative session
be called to provide for the reduction
Of the state taxes for 1915. It is gen
orally understood that the petition has
abeen circulated by friends of the pres
ent administration and that it is pre-
sented at this time with a. view of
aiding in restoring waning political
influence in the state. Governor Nc
Govern is expected to act on the petit
tion before the town and city elections
are held next week. 1t is thought that
with a special session, of the legisla-
ture several big appropriations made
at the last session Of the legislature
may be done away with by the repeal
of the laws providing for them. In
former campaign years it has been Gus
tomary for the governor short time
before election to remit portion or
all Of the state tax, but with the de
mahds of the state this year it does not
seem possible that this political dodge
can be called into use. There is an
uprising in all parts of the state
against the taxes and the state officials
fear the loss of political prestige as a
result of the continuance of this ont
Gag Scr some assurance that the sta5e
taxes for 1915 will be lower than they
were this year. The cry is not sec
tional one, but it is being. heard in
every part of the state. The rush to
cover among the men prominent in the
administration has been on for some
time and it is thought that the petit
lions for a special session of the legis-
latufe IS the elimination of this
movement.
Assemblyman Charles Pfennig when
seen this morning, said: 81 had heard
nothing of the proposed special SEES
sion until today and l have not given
the matter a great deal Of thought [
am of the opinion that the call for
such session arose with the admin
istration forces. This much can be said
and that is that If it is possible to
spread some of the appropriations
made at the last session over a four
year period / would not be adverse to
taking this action. These appropria
items were made in good faith by the
members of the legislature and after
they had been carefully considered by
the legislative committee on finances
If any mistake was made it was made
by this committee. l have no desire
to play politics with important state
appropriations, bnt at the same time
if anything can be done to relieve the
tax payers shall do my part to carry
out this program. There has been no
discussion of the matter among the
members of the legislature so far as
[ know and no one has approached me
from this county on the question of
holding special session.

ASK COUNCIL TO GIVE DOCKS
Merchants After Investigation Declare
That Coming Of Excursions Will
Stimulate Business in Kenosha Dur
ing Summer Months Of This Year.

The Kenosha Retailer s Association
has sent an invitation to the officers
of the Indiana Transportation Company
asking that company to make Keno
sha port for excursion steamers dur
ing the season of 1914 and assuring
the officials OF the company that the
association will use all of its infu-
ence to make it easy for the company
to get docks in the Kenosha harbor.
The action of the association was tax
en- after a committee of business men
had made an investigation of the bust
ness which will be brought to the city
by these boats and the members of the
committee hold that the coming of the
steamers will stimulate business along
many lines. A canvass of the Nam
street merchants indicates that they
are almost unanimously in favor of
the coming of the excursion boats.
The Retailers Association has also
planned to send a petition to the corn
mon council asking that the city grant
the Indiana Transportation company
the right to use such docks as the city
may have jurisdiction over without
charge.
One of the leading business men of
the city IN discussing the matter today
said: We have made a pretty close
sinvestiasipn into the matter and we
lfnd that the people who travel On the
excursions operated by this company
are Of much higher grade than those
who travel on the average lake excur-
sion steamer The steamer Theodore
Roosevelt is popular with high grade
people in Chicago. We find that in
other cities where these boats have
touched there has been a considerable
increase in business during the three
months that the excursions continued.
Of course the story of the crowd
spending $4,000 day are not true, but
we believe that these excdrsionists
would leave several hundred dollars in
Kenosha every day. 1t has been urged
that the managers Of the steamship
have about everything for sale that
the crowds want to buy, but it must
be remembered that the prices charged
on these boats are a lot higher than
those charged in legitimate business
houses and it will be only a short
time until the people on these excur-
sions find that it is lot cheaper for
them to buy their souvenirs in Keno;
sha rather than on the steamer. We
believe that it would be an excellent
thing for the city to give this plan a
tryout. 1t may be that another year
we would not want to continue the
plan, but certainly nothing can be lost
by trying it OUT
The officials of the company have
announced that nothing will be de-
manded from the city with the excep-
ton of dockage for the steamer while
she is in Kenosha and it is proposed
to run excursions out of Kenosha for
two hours each day during the summer.
The council will act on the matter
at the next regular meeting and if the
action is favorable the excursion boat
will make Kenosha as her port on the
first day of June and from then on
daily until the first day of September.

GAS And ELECTRIC CO OPPOSED
Company Objects to Clearance and
Width of subways and Demands
Plans Provide for Team Track to
Lead into Property Near the River.

engineering prohlems connected with
the plans for elevation of tracks
through Kenosha were under eonsidera.
ton by the state railroad commission
at the final elevation hearing held at
the city hall today. Engineer Iiud.ev,
chief OF the forces of the ,,ortb.
Western company, was on the stand
most of the morning and he presented
the final plans of the company for the
separation of grades in Kenosha. The
plans are not changed materially from
the original plans as presented No
more subways are provided aad tbe
subway proposed for Garden street is
not shown on the new plan. The idea
of changing the subway at Pearl
street is held to be impractical by the
engineers of the railway company and
they insist that a subway at Gerden
street under the present plans would
prove Little more than death tran y
This afternoon the engineers of the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Comnanv
were expected to take the stand and
show their objections to the proposed
elevation.
Nearly all the questions to Engineer
Lindley came from officials of this
company. A petition was presented
to the commission from the Kenosha
Retailers Association protesting against
tsfe proposed grade of Main street
bridge as shown in the plan for the de-
preston of THE tracks. The merchants
insisted that the tracks should be de-
pressed far enough to make it possible
to continue Main street on practically
the same grade as Pearl street.
The most serious opposition to ele:
Vatlon SO far seen In Kenosha was pub
before the commission by the Wiscou.
sin Gas and Electric Company. This
company objected to the width of the
'subways, the clearance provided and
also to the plans for the change in the
grade of Main street at the bridge.
General Manager Stearns was the star
performer for the electric railway com
pany and he held that the clearance
OF thirteen feet was not sufficient 70
provide for the operation of big inter.
urban cars in Kenosha. Engineer Lind
ley told Mr.. Stearns that in MANY
cases streets had been depressed to pro-
vide for the operation of certain tvpes
of cars and that he was of the opinion
that the electric railway company
could bear this portion of the expense
of safeguarding conditions in Kenosha.
Mr.. Stearns made a strong fight on the
change in Main street, holding that If :
the grade of the street was raised
there would be no provision for team
tracks from the property owned by
the company and used as location
of the power plant
f. The engineers admitted that the pro-
posed plan did not take into consider
alton the building of team track from
the plant to Main street.
: The company also sought to show
that the elevation of the tracks at
Main street would bring considerable
expense in connection with the relav-
ing of street railway tracks. This af-
ternoon the examining of witnesses
along the same lines was continued.
