REFUSE TO CHANGE
kENOSHA VOTES DOWN COMMITS
SION RULE BY sol MAJORITY.
Only Second Ward Favors Proposed
Change-No Campaign Was Made
BY Board Rule Champions.

kenosha.-The commission form
OF government was defeated in Ka-
nosha by a majority of sol votes.
The vote was more than 1000 be-
low normal. Only one ward, the
Second, voted in favor of the new
form and here there was 173 to 81
for it. The north wards, largely
made up of Germans, went against
the commission and the Eighth ward
showed a vote of 804 to As against it.
There had been no organization
among the promoters of the new
form of government while on the
other hand the entire saloon element
worked early and late to defeat it.
In the residence wards the vote was
close. 1t is expected that scores of
petitions will be placed in the field
for nomination under the old coun-
Gil system.
A sensation was caused when the
council voted, 9 to Z, to refuse the
Chicago & Northwestern the right to
elevates its tracks in the city. Of
ficials of the company, after year
OF demands from big shippers and
Mayor Head, agreed to the plan.

MEXICAN ATTEMPTS
LIFE Of j. s. OFFICER
Shot That Assassin Fires Shows
Lind in Peril.
NAVAL LIEUTENANT TARGET
American, Accompanied by His Wife
and Friend, Was Riding In Car
rage When Bullet
Hit Seat.

Vera Cruz, Feb 14.-President Will
sons special envoy, John Lind, was no
titled Thursday that an attempt had
been made by some Mexican in the
most prominent street Of Vera Cruz to
assassinate Arthur B. Cook, flag lieu
tenant Of Rear Admiral Mayo Of the
United States battleship Connecticut. It
developed at the same time that Mr..
Lind himself, the personal envoy Of
President Wilson in Mexico, was in
danger and that he was being guard
ed constantly day and night by blue
jackets from the American feet.
Lieutenant Cook was fired at from
ambush The bullet passed through
the woodwork Of his carriage, struck
him in the left hip and fell into the
carriage seat. His injury consisted
merely of a bruise, the woodwork hav-
ing destroyed the bullets force. 1t is
not believed the attack was the result
of a deliberate plot, but the sudden act
of some desperate, who, seeing Lieu
tenant Cook in a brilliant uniform,
mistoOk him for an American naval Of
fiCeT Of high rank.
Quiet arrangements were made re-
Gently to secure the personal safety of
Mr. Lind. Until a few days ago he
was in the habit of taking long walks
alone in the outlying country.
When Lieutenant Cook was attacked
he was on the way with his wife and
Miss Ethel Mckenzie to the steamship
MORO Castle, on which the women
were to sail for the United States. The
three had been dining with Admiral
Mayo aboard the flagship. 1t was ten
o'clock at night when the bullet was
fred. The party in the carriage heard
the shot at close range, but its result
was not learned until Lieutenant Cook
alighted at the wharf and found the
bullet in the carriage seat. He re-
ported the attack later to Admiral
Mayo who notified Mr.. Lind and Con-
sui Canada. Mr.. Lind informed Gen
eral Mas, Huerta's military command
er in Vera Cruz, but made no formal
demands. He will officially inform Gen
eTal Mas later that the arrest of per-
sons assaulting or attempting to as
sauIt American officers or civilians is
q matter of small consequence, com
pared with personal responsibility of
the general for such outrages.

Mas that he personally will be held

SUIT TO DISSOLVE ROADS
Government Seeks to Compel the d.
vorcing C. p. & S. p. Roads.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 13.-The
United States government filed suit
in the federal district court to com
pei the divorcing of the Central Pa
cific from the Southern Pacific road.
The petition alleges that the defend
ants are restraining and monopolizing
trade and commerce in the transpor-
tation of persons and perty. The
Southern Pacific owns the Sunset
route operating joint rail and water
service between New York city and
Pacific coast terminals. A fleet of
ships known as the Atlantic Steam
ship lines also runs between New
York and the gulf ports, giving the
road an unbrOken line of transporta-
ton from New York to the Pacific
coast. The Central Pacific owns rail-
roads operating from Utah to San
Francisco and lines in California and
Oregon.

Mrs. M. E. Bond Declares She
Was Assaulted in Hotel Room.
SOUGHT TO AID HUSBAND
Witness In $4,000 Damage Suit
Against United States Senator
Forced to Admit Futile
Quest for Office.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. IA
Mrs. Minnie E Bond told a jury in
the district court here Thursday of
indignities which, she declared, she
suffered at the hands of United States
Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma.
She described in detail an attack
which she alleged occurred in a Wash
ington hotel, March "a, 1913. She is
suing for $4,000 in damages. Three
other witnesses, DR.. ]. H. carp, Kirky
Fitzpatrick and T. z. Robertson, also
testified in confederation of Mrs. Bond.
Mrs Bond was on the witness stand
the greater part Of the day. According
to Mrs. Bond, she met the senator IN
Oklahoma several years ago and went
to Washington last spring when her
husband, Julian Bond, was a candidate
for appointment as internal revenue
collector here.
The complainant said she visited
Senator Gore in the interest of her
husbands candidacy several times at
his Office. On two occasions, she de-
clared, he seized her. Because of the
AOI1DSl VI 1lIC11 oDOuk ILC SOAc@IO1 .
Office she refused, she said, to make
further visits there and by mutual ar
rangement, met him at her hotel,
March "a.
Then, she alleges, he caught hold Of
her, threw her across a bed, and in her
efforts to free herself, her eyeglasses
were broken, her face scratched, and
Ora oF bor bopdo 1oooro+od On orOcS-
examination she said her health had
been impaired since.
Mrs. Bond was closely questioned by
attorneys for Senator Gore as to her
acquaintance with politicians in Okla
homa, laying the foundation, it is be-
ieved, for introduction of testimony in
support of their contention that the
suit is the result of political con
spiracy.
Senator Gore is a candidate for re-
nomination at Oklahoma primaries in
August. Mrs. Gore, wife of the sena-
tor, sat directly opposite Mrs. Bond
throughout the day and the two wom-
en- frequently looked at each other.
DOC, they set a trap for me and
walked into 1t, Mr.. carp teSt1hed SEN
ator Gore said to him. 81 want you to
see Mrs. Bond and get her out of
town"
All of the witnesses heard in sup
port of Mrs. Bond admitted that they
failed to accomplish the purpose of
their visit to Washington last spring
appointment to federal positions.
Mr.. carp declared he had been prom
ised one of three positions Mr. Fitz-
patrick sought appointment as an as
sistant attorney general assigned to
the department of the interior, and Mr.
Robertson said he was there hoping to
obtain a place in the interior depart
ment If Robert A. Rogers was named
as secretary.

Vessels Caught in FIoes In Lake
Michigan.
Chicago, Feb IA 12-hour strug-
gle to release two big lake steamships
from the binding ice-f1oes of Lake
Michigan resulted in nothing but the
imprisoning of a third steamship.
Now there are three awaiting help.
Stuck tight as thumb-tacks in a
drawing board-and looking like that
when viewed from the roofs of Grant
Park skyscrapers-the Alabama, the
Arizona and the Kansas are imbedded
in the thickened surface of the lake,
powerless as insects on fly paper. The
more the engines pound, the more Sc
curely the boats are wedged in among
the broken bergs.
Efforts to release all three of the
vessels began at daylight today. But
without a change of the wind, which
the weather bureau does not predict,
it is said that little can be done.

Senate Provides Method for States
Which Have No Law Upon Senators.
Washington, Feb. 13.-Without a
roll call the senate passed a bill to
provide a temporary method for the
nomination and election of senators in
states that have not legislated to car
ry out the seventeenth constitutional
amendment for the direct election of
senators. An amendment to make the
measure apply only to elections was
defeated 81 to 16. The law would be
effective only until the various states
provide their own machinery for NOM
mating and electing senators. Where
no such methods are provided, the bill
would make the state laws for nomi-
mating and electing state officers ap-
plicable to senators.
