New Britain's election the other day was remarkable in more ways than the humping majority for the republicans. In one respect 1t appears to be a record breaker in this state in that more votes were boiled at the city contest than in the presidential battle of 1912. The total vote the ether day was 6,61S, while the total in 1912 was 6,390.-Bridgeport Post.

Probably local conditions had a good deal to do with influencing the New Britain vote just as local con- ditions had considerable to do with placing a democratic mayor at the head Of the city government in Hartford. When the republicans chuckle over New Britain they should not forget that Hartford is now on the political map of Connecticut as a democratic city.-New Haven Union. ...

There are a good many newspaper men in the service of the government, but most of them have laid aside their ay ocation so far as it conflicts with the public service. Representative J. Hampton Moore protests that MT. Bryan is an exception. The secretary, he says, sends beats to his Com moner" before he transmits the infor- mation to congress. This is some thing to look into.-New Haven Register.

PHOTOGRAPHS AS RECORDS.
Picture of Land Patent Issued Way
Back in 1847 Filed for Record

Possibilities Of the use of photo
graphs for public records were brought
to light in the Office of the register Of
deeds on Friday afternoon when a
photograph of a land patent issued by
the government in 1S47 was fled to
be recorded as a copy of the original
transfer. The patent which had been
issued by the government had been
lost and the fact that it was not
recorded clouded the title of the prop
perty in question. Efforts to secure a
copy OF the patent were made at
Washington and after considerable dis
cussion on the matter attorneys repre-
senting the present owners of the land
were given the privilege of making a
photograph of the patent in the rec
ords of the government This was
brought to Kenosha and recorded. The
photograph showed plainly every line
of the record. 1t is thought that
photography will be used extensively
IN the registers Office in the future to
save the trouble of making copies of
old time documents.

Kenosha, will go to trial in the United
States court in Milwaukee on the morn
ing of May 18th on charges Of sending
a threatening letter through the United

rested with Viii, pleaded guilty some
time ago and was sentenced to six
months in jail James Baer, another
Italian, held on the same charge. will
go to trial with Witt next month. AT
torneys for VIII are making an effort

claimed that Trotta would be able to
show that Viii was not directly con
nected with the writing of the letter.
Trotta has refused to come to America
to testify in the case on account of the
illness of his wife.

GIRLS RECREATION CLUB.
Many Plans Made for Entertainments of
Members During Coming Season.

The Girls Recreation Club is open
ing the season with indoor classes and
entertainment at the club rooms, and
outdoor activity by means of tennis,
yolRy ball, hiking and campfire squads.
The executive committee is considering
plan whereby a trained worker will
have charge of the work during the
summer who will have her permanent
residence at the club house, carry out
the rules and regulations, and have the
use of the girls. Lunches may be pre-
pared in the well ordered kitchen.
rest may be taken on one of the COM
Portable lounges, a piano and a victrola
IN the living room make music possible
and books, magazines and papers are
always available in the library. The
little fat is prettily furnished, sunny,
coy and complete in all the details.
The expenses are provided for wholly
by subscription of associate members,
payable monthly or yearly at the
Merchants Savings Bank. Sums from
ten cents up are accepted Groups Of
women pledge themselves for a speci-
fed sum, to be paid the first of each
month, one among them being the
chairman and collecting and deposit
ing the sum. This enables the directors
to carry on the work on a housekeep-
ing plan. A series of entertainments
has been arranged for Sunday after
moons which is proving of great inter
est and value to the girls and their
guests. On Easter Sunday, Mrs. Welles
gave most charming interpretative
music program, which merited unusual
enjoyment Mrs. Welles is now hard
at work preparing benefit to be given
for the club in the near future, the

YOUNG MEN ARE EuTHusED
Many Apply at the Employment Blu
reau For Blanks For Enlistment and
Others Go to Recruiting Offices in
Milwaukee and Chicago.

This is not a recruiting Office AL
derman Conrad Shearer, who is in
charge of the employment bureau of
the Manufacturers association Of Ke-
nosha, feels that it will be necessary
for him to hang sign like the above
III front of the Scholer & Funck build
ing for since the beginning of actual
warfare IN Mexico men have been com
ing to the employment bureau seeking
to enter the United States army. Sec
rotary Shearer is sending them to the
recruiting Office in Milwaukee, and it is
known that already several Kenosha
men have been recruited for the regu-
Lar service. These recruits are being
sent out of Milwaukee just as fast as
they pass the formal examination to
enter the service.
The lack of any sort of military or
ganization in Kenosha is being badly
felt by the men who want to get into
the fighting in Mexico. There are lot
OF men in Kenosha right now who are
ripe to enter the army The first shot
at Vera Cruz stirred the patriotism of
lot of young fellows and every day
the police hear of some young fellow
who has left Kenosha and it is prob
able that they can all be found about
the recruiting offices in Chicago.

war as they seem to feel that this will
make it possible for them to get into
the army without going through the
long apprenticeship that is required in
times of peace. If a recruiting office
was opened in Kenosha tomorrow it is
certain that it would be possible to get
nearly complete company of men
anxious to get into the fighting.
Foreigners in Kenosha seem to take
even a. greater interest in the war chan
the native born and majority of the
men who go to the employment bureau
seeking to use it as a recruiting
station are men who came to KenOsha
from some of the European countries.
Many of these men have seen service
IN their native lands and some of them
are soldiers of fortune who have fought
under several flags. The foreigners
seem to be attracted by the smell of
powder and the rush of battle and they
have declared themselves anxious to
get into the army. 1t is declared that
the recruiting Offices in the large cities
are so thrcnged that it is impossible
to send recruiting officers to the smaller
cities, and if Kenosha men want to 90
to war they will have to travel to Chi
cago or Milwaukee to enlist.

GET AFTER TESTERS.
District Attorney to Secure Arrest of
Racine Men who Misuse Highways.

District Attorney A. L. Drury has
sent letter to Racine manufacturers
OF automobiles notifying them that the
roads Of Kenosha county may no longer
be used for testing purposes and that
men testing cars for factories will be
forced to live up to all the road reg
ulations made for any other drivers of
automobiles. Many complaints have
been made to the district attorney of
the methods of the "testers" in using
the roads. 1t is declared that these men
have repeatedly violated speed limita-
tions and that in many cases they have
paid absolutely no attention to the
rights of other users of the roads.
Several accidents have taken place as
a result Of what is claimed to have
been the carefessness of these testers.
: If the letter does not bring immedi-
ate results said the district attorney
today, I'VE are going to arrest every
one Of these testers and force compli-
ance with I'll laws relating to the hand
ling of automobiles on the roads. p,

OTHER SUITS ARE EXPECTED
Company Has Sought to Secure Right
of Way without Court Action But
Several Property Owners Have De-
clined to Sell Land to the Company.

The first court action in connection
with the plans of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company for
the encouragement Of tracks in Keno
sha and the elevation Of the main
tracks through the city, was filed with
the circuit court of Kenosha county
today when the attorneys for the com
pany filed a petition for the condema-
tion of certain land in Block No. SO
Of the original map Of Southport. The
property in question is located near
the corner Of Orange and West Main
streets. 1t is owned by Mike Nakros-
ziz and Domizala Nakrosziz and it con
sists of single city lot. 1t is de-
manded according to the petitions for
depot purposes and for the arrange
ment of the yards Of the company.
Judge Belden has signed formal or
der fixing the hearing of the petition
for condemnation at Racine on the
morning of May 18th.
This is one of the pieces Of property
sought by the company in connection
with the building Of the new industrial
tracks. Efforts were made to purchase
the property, but no agreement could
be reached between the property own
ers and the land commissioner of the
railway company. There are num-
Der of other pieces of property which
have not been secured by the company
and it is understood that similar petit
tions for condemnation will be fled in
all of these cases The agents of the
company have declared that they would
prefer to secure all right Of way
necessary without going into court but
in some cafes owners Of property have
refused to place price on their
property and have asserted that they
do not desire to sell it to the railway
company or anyone else. The company
is now ready to start the work of re-
building the switch tracks in Kenosha,
but it must secure property for the
right of way before tracks can be laid.
1t is probable that one or two of the
property owners will put up deter
mined fight against the taking of their
property under condemnation proceed
iEgs, but it is expected that all of
these matters will be cleared up by
the latter part of the summer.
Engineers of the railroad commission
have been busy making survey of
the property in the city to be affected
by elevation of the tracks and the re-
port of this survey will be filed with
the commission in short time AT
ter this report is filed it is probable
that the commission will give attor-
neys representing the city, the North
Western and the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company chance to be heard.
The elevation of the tracks and the
order of the commission providing for
this work viii in no way interfere
with the rebuilding of the industrial
tracks and it is expected that this
will be well under way by the end
of the summer.

MRS. VALENTINE IMPROVES.

Mrs. Tony Valentine, the Italian
woman who was shot and seriously
wounded by her husband at their home
or Brockett street on last Saturday
morning, is improving rapidly at the
kenosha hospital and it is now thought
that she will recover. An X-Ray pict-
uHe was taken on Sunday and after the
plate of the picture has been develop
ed the surgeons will decide as to
whether or not an effort will be made
to remove the bullet. In the mean
time the police are busy searching for
the husband. A picture of Valentine
taken at the time of his marriage has
been secured and copies of this are be-
ing sent to other cities. 1t is reported
that Valentine is making an effort to
get back to Italy. The police have
been blocked in every effort made to
get any trace Of the missing man.

OPENS BINDERY HERE.
La Crosse Man Brings New Industry to
Kenosha and Fills Long Felt Want.

One of the long felt wants of Ke-
nosha has been filed by Otto Wolf of
La Crosse, an expert book binder and
book maker, who has opened a book
bindery on Park street just east Of
Main street. The bindery has been
equipped with the latest machinery
known to the art Of book making and
Mr.. Wolf will be ready to take care
of all the business of the city in this
line of work. He does not limit his
business to book binding but also has
machines for special ruling and for the
making of ledgers and all sorts of
books for records. The head of the
new Kenosha bindery is man of long
experience in the work, he having been
IN charge of bindery in La Crosse
for many years. 1t is certain that the
new bindery will be given large pat
ronage by Kenosha people, who in the
past have been forced to send all work
of this kind to other cities.

the regular regiments are being raised
