swINDLED IN CHICAGO.
Woman With t'Tango Walk" Gets
Money From Two Kenoshans.

A telegram from Chicago declares
that Samuel Sampson and his brother
Joseph, both residents of Kenosha were
the victims of "tango walk rob-
Der in that city on last Sunday night.
The name of neither of the men APP
pears in the Kenosha directory and it
is not thought that they were from
Kenosha. Here is the way the Chi
cage dispatch tells the story of the rob-
berry:
"She had what you call one of them
tango walks said Samuel in describ-
ing what followed to the police. "She
slipped around on Sans side and
brought out his pocket book from his
pocket. Sam thought that was the way
the tangoers in Chicago acted. Se
he just naturally slapped the lady on
the mouth, laughed and grabbed the
pocketbook. Then she slipped around
by me and the first thing I knew my
wallet was gone and so was that
woman. 1t has $33 in it. I guess
we III go back to Kenosha. Chicago
doesn't seem to be any place for us. =
The police are looking for the woman
with the tango walk.

TAX PAYERS DEMAND RESULTS
No Formal Action Will be Taken by
Protesting Town Officials Until After
Investigation of State Highway Com
mission; May Then be Taken Care of.

There is every reason to believe that
the Kenosha highway muddle will get
into the courts of the county and state
as notice has been served on members
Of the county board, including the
chairman, that work will not be per-
mitted in the county next year under
the same conditions as prevailed dur.
ing the last season. Officials of the
towns of Somers and Pleasant Prairie
have both given notice that injunctions
will be sought to prevent the expendi-
ture of road monies in these towns I'M
less some better system is worked out
by the state highway commission and
the county board.
1t is known that several towns in the
western part of the county are dissatis.
fed with the work that has been done
and these towns are expected to join
the eastern towns in protest to the
courts if such becomes necessary. In
Somers and Pleasant Prairie a very
large amount of money is to be expend-
ed during the coming year for high
way work. Aroused by record break
ing tax levy the people of these towns
are prodding the officials to action
against existing systems OF road build
ing and the officials have been given
to understand that provision must be
made for the most economical possible
way of spending the money that has
been raised for road work.
Officials OF the towns are not PLAN
ming to take any action until after the
formal hearing Of complaints by the
state commission which hearing is set
for February 18th and they believe that
at this time there will be better I'M
derstanding as to what the county may
expect in the future from the state
commission along the lines of actual
assistance in the building and accept
ance of highways in the county. The
state is showing a great interest in the
hearing slated for this county and it is
not improbable that the entire mem
bership of the commission will come to
Kenosha to sit on the complaint.
Every feature of the Kenosha com
plant against the state commission is
to be laid bare at this hearing and the
members of the county board believe
that they will be able to show the
members of the state commission the
feeling of Kenosha county people
toward state aid. Should injunction
suits be started by the towns the work
Of building roads might be delayed for
years as these suits would bring into
dispute the ertire question of state aid
in the building Of highways.

HOLD HAVEN FUNERAL TODAY
Remains of Hugh Spear Haven Placed
in Private Vault at Monrovia.

kilograms received in Kenosha this
morning announce that the funeral SER
vices over the remains of the late Hugh
Spear Haven, who met death in the big
Pacific coast floods on Monday morning
will be held late this afternoon at Mon
rovia, Calf. The services which will
be under the auspices of the Los Ange-
les lodge of Elks, will be held at the
Haven home. The remains will be
placed in a private vault at the Mon
rovia cemetery and it is possible that
some time later they will be brought
to Kenosha and laid at rest in the Ha-
ven family plot in the city cemetery.
Kenosha friends of Mr. Haven have
had great difficulty securing any facts
in regard to his death on account of
the interrupted wire service at all cit
les on the Pacific coast. The first mes
sages received from Mrs. Haven reach
ed Kenosha this morning. It is thought
that on account of the interruption of
all rail service that it was decided to
place the remins Of Mr.. Haven in the
vault.

Kenosha Co. Milk Produc-
ers Hold an Enthusiastic
Meeting on Tuesday.
GET new men AS DIRECTORS

A very enthusiastic convention Of
the milk producers of Kenosha county,
was held at Woodman hall in the vii
lage of Bristol on Tuesday. Though
the roads were not the best, the milk
producers of the county were well
represented, there being about $50
farmers present. A number of topics
Of vital interest to the dairymen were
freely discussed The main feature of
the occasion was the election of two
directors to represent the county in the
great milk producers association.
Frank T. Holt was elected to succeed
p. II. Tobin in the eastern half of the
county and Joseph Toelle succeeds VIM.
Klein in the western half Of the county.
Albert E. Jack, secretary Of the Milk
Producers Association, was present
and gave an interesting and lengthy
discussion on organization and the bene-
fits derived therefrom. Mr.. jacks
talk ought to have impressed the farm
ers with the necessity of a better or
ganization in this county. The pro-
ducers hope that this meeting will be
an incentive to wake up the dairymen
of this section and they declared that
any fair minded person will admit that
the organization has already materially
benefited the dairy farmers Of the Chi
cago district, but far greater good may
yet be done if every man producing
milk in this great territory will but
lend his assistance. 1t was urged that
every milk shipper and every patron
of bottling plant appoint himself a
committee of one to see that each milk
producer in the county becomes mem
Der Of the Milk Producers Association.

DIES IN MYSTERY.
Officials Unable to Find Any Facts in
Regard to Frank Zelis.

Frank Zelis. supposed to be twenty
nine years of age, died at the Keno
sha hospital on Tuesday afternoon. It
is supposed that he had been suffering
from some form of tuberculosis, but he
had been at the hospital only a short
time before he died. The pauper com
missioner found him living in an old
building in the Ridge street neighbor-
hood, but he could find out absolutely
nothing in regard to the man. 1t is
not known where he was born or if he
has any friends or relatives in this
part of the state. People at the house
where he had lived declared that they
knew nothing in regard to him. The
body was removed to the Mischler
morgue and the funeral was held this
afternoon with interment at the Keno
sha City cemetery.

old PRINCIPLE DIsREGARDED
r. Palm, Organizer Of Party in Keno
sha County, Declares That $3.50 of
the Members of the Party Voted
Against Commission in Referendum.

Socialism is to lead the opposition to
the adoption of the commission form of
government in Kenosha and the long
remembered demands of the soap box
orators for the referendum and the re-
call have been abandoned by the local
socialists in the discussion of this plan
of government for Kenosha and it is
stated on the authority of r. Palm, the
organizer of the party for Kenosha
county that at referendum held dur
ing the past few days eighty-fve per
cent of the socialists of Kenosha voted
to oppose the proposed new plan Of gov
eminent In announcing this decision
of his party Mr.. Palm insists that the
socialists are still believers in many
of the things provided for in the COM
mission form of government but they
do not believe that these things should
be put into practice in Kenosha. He
asserts that the question has been sub
mitted to all branches of the social
democratic party in the city with the
exception of a few foreign organiza
tions, which showed no interest in it.
Already the literary bureau of the
party In Kenosha is busy and it has
prepared large number of arguments
against the commission form and these
will be submitted to people as the cam
paign progresses. Men who have been
prominent in the advancement of the
socialist party in Kenosha in past
years have been very favorable TO the
commission form of government, but it
is declared that these men have left
the city and that the present member
ship no longer reflect their views. Mr..
Palm insisted that there was only one
or two of the men who are considered
favorable to the adoption of the new
form of government.
It is not known how strong vote
the socialists will be able to muster in
the fight against the commission form.
In the past few years socialism has not
made any great advancement in Ke-
nosha and it is not thought that the
voting strength of the party in Keno
sha would exceed 800 voters. It is
known that the leaders of the party
have vigorously opposed non-partisan
rule for cities on account Of the fact
that in many Of the cities the coming
of non-partisan rule has removed the
possibility of the social democrats Sc
curing offices. It is not thought that
there would be any great chance for
the social democrats to secure office in
Kenosha under the commission rule.
The action of the social democrats
has in no way disconnected the leaders
in the fight to secure the commission
form for Kenosha. These men had ex-
pected union of many elements
against the proposed change and they
had not considered the socialists as be-
ing favorable to the plan. The action
of the socialists will give leadership to
the opposition to the law and under
their leadership the campaign will go
forward. It is certain that the social
lists will urge fully their views of the
proposed change in government.
