STATE GETS PLANS OUT EARLY
Specifications For All Work Planned in
the County Now in the Hands of the
Commissioner and All Work Will be
Completed by First of October.

Dirt is flying on the rural roads of
Kanosha county and every piece of
work for which contracts have been
let is now under course of construc-
ton Mockler and Darrow Of Wauke-
gan have begun the big work Of grad
ing and surfacing the Geneva road
with concrete. George R. Wade is
busy with excavations on the Somers
road and on the Burlington road in
the town Of Somers and Olaf Jorgen-
sen has started the work of macadamiz
ing the Salem road in the town of Sa-
lem. 1t is expected that all of this
contract work will be completed on or
before the first of September. The
county is doing its share and County
Highway Commissioner John Herzog
has big force Of men at work i'm
proving the Wilmot road in the town
of Paris and is organizing another
gang Of workmen to have charge of
the work Of Improving the Burlington
road in Paris. Work on all of the
roads will be rushed to completion as
rapidly as possible and it is the plan
of the commissioner to have all of the
work planned for the year out of the
way before signs Of frost in the fall.
There is not going to be any delay
on account Of plans and specifications
from the state department this season
and with the exception of one survey
in the town of Randall all the surveys
have been completed by the engineers
of the state highway commission and
all of the plans and specifications for
work are now in the hands of the high
way commissioner. The plans and
ing with concrete South Park avenue,
Sheridan road and the Lake Shore road
to the north Of the city have reached
the office of the commissioner. All
of this work will be let to contract
and it is expected that the contracts
will be awarded within the next ten
days and they will be awarded with
the understanding that all of the work
is to be completed by the first of
October. 1t is expected that the same
contractors now at work on the roads
in the county will bid for this added
work. Bridge plans for all of the
bridges to be built have been received
and this work will go forward with
out delay. The new highway commits
sioner has his work so well organized
that the only possible delay in the
completion of it will come from the
inability CT the contractors to get men
and teams. So far there has been no
trouble along these lines and none is
anticipated. In fact it is expected
that idle men in Kenosha will nearly
all be able to find employment on the
road work

Not a Single Clew Found to
Murderer of August Co
vella by Local Officers.
STRANGELY SILENT

More than a week has passed since
August Covella was shot down and
killed at the entrance to an alley in
the western part of the city and while
the police have been steadily at work
on the case since the night of the
shooting not single clew has been
found to aid them in the search for
the murdered of Covella. Half doz-
en- Italians who were in the neighbor-
hood at the time of the murder, have
been picked up by the police, but not
one of them has been able to give any
facts to aid the police in the location
of the murderer. In all such cases
which have come up in Kenosha in
other months there has been some fact
in connection with them which has
suggested clew to the police, but in
this case there seems to be absolutely
nothing. Chief O'Hare and his men
have made careful investigation in
to the previous life of Covella and
they have found nothing which would
indicate that the man had enemies who
would seek to take his life. In fact,
Covella appears to have been peace
able law abiding citizen and he does
not appear to have had any active part
in any of the Italian clans. The
Italians have been decidedly close
mouthed in regard to this crime and
not even a word of gossip has reached
the police to aid them in their search
for the murderer. Chief 0 'Hare seems
to be of the opinion that the man who
fred the shot which brought death to
Covella may still be in Kenosha and
that he is satisfied that there is little
chance for his identity to become
known to the police.
Frank Chippetta, charged with shoot
ing Frank Luciani Charley Frank,
was brought into court again on Mon
day but the hearing Of the case was
continued until Thursday morning.
Chippetta has made no effort to deny
that he shot Luciani and his attorney
has announced to the court that he
will enter a plea Of self defense as
justification for the shooting. 1t is
expected that the hearing of Chippetta
will go on at the adjourned date and
it is expected that the examination in
to the facts in the case by Attorney
Drury for the state will be made a
searching one. Luciani is still being
held as a witness for the state. He
was in the Kenosha hospital and the
officials feared that he might suffer
from blood poisoning but he has been
released from the hospital and is
thought to be out of danger.

MRS. wELLEs GIVES RECITAL.
Charming Entertainment for Benefit of
Girls Recreation Club Given Monday.

A large and representative audience
OF Kenosha music lovers attended the
illustrated recital given in Guild hall
on Monday evening by Mrs. Beatrice
Ives Welles. The Girls Recreation
Club was the beneficiary, and the pro-
gram was prefaced with brief his
tory of the club by Mrs Chester
Barnes. Mrs Welles had chosen as the
theme of the occasion Picture and
Story in Music. - Characteristic Sc
lections from Schumann, Mcdowell,
Wagner and other composers were pre-
sented with the admirable interpreta-
tions of the pianist Mrs. Welles was
in splendid form and delighted the en-
thusiastic audience with variety of
pianoforte numbers. Each series was
introduced with an Illuminating ac
count of the pieces to be played, with
the result that the audience was able
to follow the program with under
standing and sympathy. The rare
skill and keen insight displayed by the
pianist gave realism to the program
and contributed a memorable evening
to the music-loving people of the city.

Retailers to Conspire With
Draymen to Keep in Touch
With Kenosha People.
Join FIGHT ON CARNIVAL SHOW

The "floaters are to have difficult
ties in Kenosha in the future as at
the regular monthly meeting of the
Kenosha Retailer s Association held
on Monday evening plans were made
by which the officers of the associa-
tion will keep tab on the movements
of the floating population of the city
and by this tab the members of the
association will be protected against
worthless accounts. In order to keep
track of this class of the population
the retailers have decided to enlist the
services of draymen in Kenosha and
for regular fee the draymen are to
send cards to the officials of the as
ISOLATION giving them facts in regard
to every family moving in Kenosha.
If you move from one part of the town
to the other the association officials
will be at once advised OF the fact and
if you pack up bag and baggage and
go to some other city this fact will
also be listed with the officers of the
retailers and if you get away without
paying your current bills ~believe it
the retailers will know where to find
YOU This tab on all movers will be
of great value to the retail merchants
and taken in connection with CO.
operation with other associations in
other cities it will be possible for til /,
merchants to keep a pretty good rec
ord of the addresses of every one
moving from Kenosha.
At the meeting on Monday night the
retailers went on record as being un-
alterably opposed to the carnivals in
Kenosha. The officers were directed to
protest to the council against permits
being given for such shows, but before
the meeting was over the merchants
were advised that the council had
barred carnivals and the resolution of
protest was changed to one of thanks
and support in the efforts of the coun-
Gil to keep these people out of Keno
sha. No action was taken by the mer-
chants in regard to circuses or dog
and pony shows.
One Of the big features of the Re
tailer's Association is the annual meet
ing, reunion and outing and this is
to be held this year some time in July.
Committees have been named to have
charge of the big event. In the past
two years it has been held at Central
Park. This year suggestion has
been made that it be. held at Paddocks
Lake and be in the nature of re-
union of the farmers and the merchants
and their families. This plan met with
a lot of support at the meeting and if
proper transportation facilities could
be provided it is certain that Pad
docks Lake would get the big reunion.
The matter was left in the hands of
the committee and report will be
made at the next meeting o. the
association.
