FORMER HEAD Of LOCAL LINES
Was in Charge of Negotiations For Elk
tensions Of the Lines and His Retire
ment Finds Nothing Accomplished
Along the Lines of Local Extension.

Walter Kuemmerlein, division man
ager of the lines Of the Milwaukee.
Racine and Kenosha Electric Railway
Company and formerly manager in
Kenosha, has resigned his position the
resignation to become effective on
June 10th. Mr.. Kuemmerlein will go
to Los Angeles where he will accept
position with traction company.
The retiring manager has been active
in the operation of the Racine and
Kenosha interurban lines for the past
fifteen years and several years ago he
was made division superintendent and
placed in charge of all the lines in
Racine and Kenosha. He has recently
not been connected with the operation
of the Kenosha local lines, but has
maintained the management of the in
terurban lines running to the north
limits of the city.
Mr.. Kuemmerlein was sent to Keno
sha as manager of the Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway following the purchase of
the local lines by the Milwaukee com
pany and he remained in charge Of the
Kenosha lines for nearly two years.
In recent months the Milwaukee of
ficials of the company decided that
Kenosha was entitled to a resident
manager and the work formerly under
the direction of Mr.. Kuemmerlein was
placed in charge of G. FL. Cook, the
resident manager Of the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric Company. Under the
management of Mr.. Kuemmerlein the
new "Pay-As- You Enter" cars were
put into service on the Kenosha local
lines. Mr.. Kuemmerlein was also ac-
tive in closing up the old controversy
over the Ashland avenue bridge. It
is probable that some Milwaukee man
viii be named as division manager Of
the i,terurban lines. Kenosha people
are hopeful that some one will be nam
ed who will be able to clean up the
troubles in Kenosha and make posi-
Bile the entrance of the interurban cars
to the heart of the city.
People living in the northwest por-
tions of the city are strongly urging
the extension of the local lines to the
northwest of Grand avenue, but it is
stated by officials Of the company that
no plans have been made for such ex-
tensions at this time. Mr.. Kuemmer-
lein was in charge of negotiations along
this line, but the final decision in the
matter was left up to the officials of
the company in Milwaukee and they
have evidently decided that the field
was not profitable one. Many other
extensions of the lines have been sug-
gested by petitions sent to the com
pany and these will probably be acted
on some time in the future, but there
is little reason to believe that there
will be any new lines built during
the present year.

Kenosha Elks to Send Delegation to
State A1eeG Of The orae1.


State MeeG OF The ora64
Thirty-fve Kenosha EIks, all in their
best bib and tucker, will leave next
Monday for Wausau to attend the
annual meeting of the Wisconsin State
Elks Association. This will be the
first year that the Kenosha lodge has
been represented by an organized uni
formed marching club in the big pa
rade and it is expected that Kenosha
will make one of the best showings
made by any city at the state meet.
Some of the Elks in other. cities are
anxious to have Kenosha entertain the
next state conven.-. Of the order.
The local lodge has not as yet issued
any invitation to the state Elks, but
the matter will be taken up and de-
cided on at the next meeting to be held
on Thursday evening. Kenosha lodge,
while one of the most active of the
Elks in Wisconsin, has never enter
tanned a state convention.

HISTORY OF WISCONSIN OUT.
Prominent Kenoshans Have Fun Read
ing Stories of Their Fame in Print.


A lot of men of prominence and
wealth in Kenosha are having a lot of
fun with each other over their auto
biographies as they appear in a His
tory of Wisconsin, " which has lust
been issued by Milwaukee company.
The history was planned to be a nota-
bic story of Wisconsin an he y eae
men of the state. Like nest of these
works it is a collection of sketches of
men who were willing to pay the
amount asked by the solicitor to Sc
cure the publication of their pictures
and sketch of their Hves. MANY
characters notable in Wisconsin do
not appear in the volums and the
stories of the lives of some of the
men, particularly some from Kenosha
county, are wonderful to read. The
beauty of it all is that the men them
selves were given chance to read
these obituaries Some of the Ke-
nosha men are alleged to have been
so disconnected over the grandiloquent
tale of their accomplishments, With
dates and mis- spelled names
that they have declined to pay the
stipend assessed against them as the
price Of prominence.

lay OVER EXTENSIONS.
Water Commission Declines to Act on
Demands for New Service.


Demands for New Service.
The board Of water commissioners
met in regular session at the city hall
on Tuesday evening and the most i'm
portant matter to come before the
board was a number Of petitions de-
the extension Of water mains
into the new territory soon to be an
nexed to the city. No action was TAX
en- on any of these petitions, the mem
bers of the board holding that the Pc
titions should not be considered until
the territory was formally annexed to
the city. Tt is expected that there
will be an unusually large demand for
extensions this summer. The financial
report of the commission shows a bal
ance Of more than $4,000 and it is
thought that much of this will be re-
CURED to build the extensions which
will be necessary to take care of de-
mands for water. No other matter OF
came up for the considera-
tion Of the members Of the commission.

F2ATE8NILS GUT BIG FIGURE.
Thousands Of Kenosha Men and Women
Get Policies in Fraternal Societies
and This Cuts the List of Policies in
the Old Line Companies.

Kenosha was not an expensive city
for the big insurance companies Of the
nation during the year just past and
statistics Of life insurance paid dur
ing the year just issued by the Insur.
ance Press of New York shows that
kcnosha ranked way down in twenty
first place among the cities of Wis
conain in comparison of the amounts
paid by insurance companies during
the year, In Kenosha $37,750 was
paid to benefciaries Of insurance poll
cies. Kenosha failed to have single
policy Of ten thousand dollars or Of
even half this amount and the little
less than 100000 paid by the com
Panies was all paid in amounts rang
ing from few hundred dollars to
$4,000 Insurance men in Kenosha de-
clare that the city would rank much
higher in the amount of life insurance
carried and that the low amount paid
by the insurance companies is due to
the healthful conditions in Kenosha.
In addition to this many of the in
suranee men claim that many policies
paid in Kenosha during the last year
were policies written by fraternal or
CARNATIONS and these policies are not
included in the list given out by the
insurance companies.
Kenosha has for years been known
as one of the cities of the state in
which fraternal organ.-4ons found a
fertile field and nearly every one of
the big fraternals has an organization
here. Tt is asserted by people in a
position to know that no less than Ave
thousand men of Kenosha and no less
than eight hundred women of the city
are members of insurance organi-
cations and the fact that these men
and women are paying dues to these
organizations has had a tendency to
cut down the amount of cold line,
Insurance carried in the city. If the
amount paid to Kenosha heirs by these
fratornal organizations was added to
the amount paid out by the old line
life insurance companies it is certain
that kenosha would be we'll up in the
list of Wisconsin cities.
During the past year there has been
some tendency to pull away from the
fraternal organizations and many men
have given up their insurance in the
fraternals to take up more expensive
insurance in the old line companies.
Notwithstanding this fact the new re-
cruits secured by the fraternals have
more than made UP for the assertions.
Rate wars and legislation have cut
deeply into the ranks OF the fraternals
and The leaders in these organizations
have been kept busy seeking new mem.
bers in order to keep their memberships
up to the former standards,
The amount Of insurance paid ia the
leading twenty of the Wisconsin cities
during the year 1913 was as follows:

BAILEY MURDER TO GRAND JURY
NEGRO MAID SAYS MRS. CHAPMAN ENTERED REAR KITCHEN
 DOOR FOLLOWING SHOT.
Detectives Following a Clue to Locate Two Women Who We're in the Doc tors Office at Time of Murder.

Mineola, N Y., July 14,-While the grand jury today was hearing nine witnesses tell what they knew aboul the mysterious murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey and the actions Of Mrs. Flor ence Conklin Carman just before and just after the crime, detectives were running down clue District Attor- ney smith said he believed wou d lead to the finding of the two strange women whom Mrs. Carman and her sister, Mrs. Ida Powell, said they saw hurrying away directly after Mrs. Bailey fell to the floor of IDr. Car mans office in Freeport with butt let through her heart
 These women the district attorney asserted, may offer corroboration to the testimony of Elwood T Bardes at the inquest and the story told the grand jury today by Celia Coleman, d negro maid in the Carman home.
 Bardes' statement that he saw q woman dressed as Mrs. Carman was dressed walk away from outside q window il Dr. Carman's office immc Ediately after Bardes heard crash of ass and the report of a revolver was responsible for Mrs. Carman's arrest
 The negro maid today, according to reliable authority, said that after she heard the tinkle of breaking glass and inc report of q revolver, her mis tress hurried into the kitchen through the hack door and went upstairs. At the inquest the maid denied she had seen Mrs. Carman the night of the murder from dinner time until fifteen minutes after the shot was fired,
 when she said Mrs. Carman was in her room.
 pr Carman's story, it is understood, was much the same as the one he told at the inquest. The murdered womans family and relatives were called to tell of her actions the day of the murder and of how they were informed Of her death.
 George Colder, patient in the Carmaa house at the time of tho murder, has changed his story since the inquest, at which he said he was sure it was Mrs. Carman he saw walk through the hall just prior to the mur- der, and that he was also positive he
 saw her on the porch and in her hus- hands office while Mrs. Bailey's body
 was lying on the floor. His revised assertion is that he is not sure the woman he saw was Mrs. Carman
 The district attorney said Colder had
 at first made an honest mistake.'

r HE use of crape fin the decoration of costumes designed for mourn ing wear led up to it's use in the mak- ing of dress accessories. Then came the all-crape blouse and now we have the all-crape gown. This is an eX- treme of the style which is very strill- ing inasmuch as it is so unusual.
 But there is no good reason why so beautiful a fabric as crapeashould not be used in the making of gow-s. Neckpieces, muffs and other access sories made of it proved how adapt able it is for garments as well as millinery.
 This gown is cut with @ rather mar row draped underskirt and an outer garment having a rather long basque, which gives the effect of a tunic. This is worn over an uEder-bodice of plaited white chiffon having a high collar in black. There is a girdIe of folded crape and the ornaments, which simulate large buttons, are made of narrow folds of crape also

rich fabric, folds, covered cords, tucks and plaits. very neatly made of the material, provide the best of all dec orations. There is something about the distinctive character of this un- usual product which precludes much ornamentation.
 In the construction of apparel for mourning it should be borne in mind that extremes of style are inappro- priate. Conservative designs in dresses and hats are in good form always and in mourning costumes they are imperative.
 In the matter of decoration. also, the forms that show careful workman ship and express a sedateness in choice are consistent and therefore beautiful.
 In millinery there is a wider range in choice of trimmings, but, after all, none looks so we'll as forms of flow CTS, buckles or ornaments made up fin crape used with neatly laid folds and plaits.

r VERY little girl has a right to play l. in the water and 10 learn to swim and be as much at nome inNit as her brother is. The adventurous spirit of boyhood takes him out with his fol- lows and if water is within reach he is apt to learn to swim. Girls make splendid swimmers. and the mere knowledge that they possess this ac- complishment keeps them from get ting panicky when joining in the water sports of their companions.
 The most noted swimmer in this country is Miss Annette Kellerman Quite likely there are numbers of men who swim as well and have as much endurance. But no one of them can do better, and no one of them can look half as well as this sister to the mermaids. The exercise develops all the muscles of the body in the most uniform manner. The pleasure of swimming and the tonic of cool water are both healthful
 Nothing could be better designed for the little girls water sports than the simple onepiece garment shown in the picture. It is cut in two pieces, consisting of the perfectly plain waist and the bloomers. But these two
