AFTER ANNEXATION
CITY Attorney Pollard, rising to epro-
test against tho objection raised by
Attorney Smith. said that tho question
was relevant. for by it and others of n
SlEli.ar nature he expected to prove
that. even though IIenricO County was
deprived Of Il great deal OF revenue by

counties. hc thought that Henrico
would not be seriously handicapped I'm
putting into execution any iinaroial
schemes it had In contemplation.
Further objection to the admittance
of these figures was made By Mr.
Smith, who said that IIenrico was to
comparisons between it and other
counties situated under entirely diff
fcrent conditions wcre unfair He
said that tho cost Of road upkeep was
much more in Iicnrico than in other
counties. because OF the many roads
which led into Richmond; that it's
school buildings were OF a necessity
haud.omcr because of their near DroX-
unity to the magnificent buildings of
Richmond, and that the cost of polio
Ing the confines OF the county were
also great AS n reason for the lat
ter statement Mr.. Smith said that the
county surrounded tho very wicked
city of Richmond, which was prob
ably second in wiclScdness to Norfolk
and which. according to statement
by the Mayor, was unable properly 10
police its own territory ut tho pres

Members of the Kenosha Lodge Of
Elks had a rare 0ld-fashioned time at
the club rooms on Thursday when they
met-two hundred Of them. and all
members of the local lodge for the last
meeting with Judge G. E. Randall as
Exalted Ruler. There were lot Of
features combining to make the meet
ing a notable one. A class of twelve
candidates received the degree Of the
order, there was an election Of officers
and the work Of untangling the affairs
of the Princess Theatre under the man
agement of Frank 0 'Brien was started.
Roy K. Dorr who has served the lodge
in the capacity of Esteemed Leading
Knight for the past two years and
who has been one of the most active
of the workers in the lodge was unani-
mously named to succeed Judge Ran
dali as Exalted Ruler.
The herd gathered early and among
the big crowd it was notable fact
that in the assemblage was more than
forty of the fifty-four charter mem
bers of the lodge, The initiation took
up the earlier part of the meeting. DR.,
G. "A. Gephart and John Bjorn were
class orators and both Of them made
ringing speeches. Then came the cleo
tion of officers and Exalted Ruler Dorr
was given great ovation and he adj
dressed the herd thanking them for
the honor which had been conferred
and urging cooperation of all members
IN the work of the lodge. Retiring
Exalted Ruler Randall also made a
short talk in which he thanked the
members of the lodge for the manner
in which the members had supported
his plans during the past year and a
half. Judge Randall was received
with great applause as he began
his remarks
The question Of the payment Of the
debts left by the Princess Theatre dur
ing the management of Frank j. o.
Brien was taken up and it was an
nounced that while there was no obli-
cation on the part of the Kenosha
Lodge of Elks to assume these debts
that the debts wogld be paid and the
treasurer Of the Association was dir
ected at once to send checks covering
one-third of the claims to all the cred
itors. Other similar checks will be
sent as soon as the money can be raised
1t is the intention Of the lodge mem
bers that these debts be paid in full

Well Known Main st. Mer-

ACTIVE IN WORK OF BOOSTING

The annual meeting Of the Kenosha
Grosvenor hall Thursday evening. A
supper, at which were seated fifty mem
bers, was served prior to the meeting.
Election of officers for the ensuing
year was the order of business.
Jos. Pitts was elected president in
appreciation of his good work in con-
nection with the association and for his
general boosting of Kenosha. Mr..
Pitts meyer puts aside an opportunity
to further the interests of Kenosha
merchants. Other officers chosen were:
T. j. Dale, vice president.
H, G. Hansen, to succeed himself for
the third year.
Gus d. Theleen to succeed himself
for the third year.
Roy Platt, who has investigated the
workings of cooperative delivery sys-
TENS in other cities, made report to
the meeting. This resulted in q spe-
cial meeting being called for next
Wednesday afternoon, for all merchants
interested 1t is beginning to look like
cooperative delivery for at least eight
Or ten Of our largest merchants in Ke-
nosha; at least they seem to be willing
to try it out
Hereafter it is proposed to hold sup
pers in connection with the monthly
meetings, and during the winter months
speakers will be arranged for to talk
ON matters of common interest to mer-
chants.
The Kenosha Retailers association,
after two and half years of existence,
finds itself as strong, if not stronger,
than ever, and promises to be the real
live organization for the promotion of
matters of common interest to the citi-
zens at large.

new VICTORY FOR MARY ann
Kenosha Officials Will be Forced to
Make Many Changes in Order to Ac-
commodate Themselves to Order of
Court and Expense VIII be Large.

The use of voting machines at the
general election to be held throughout
the state on November 3rd may be
barred by the action of the Supreme
Court in Madison on Thursday when
decision was handed down holding that
machines could not be used in the city
of Milwaukee. No formal statement
has been received from the Secretary
of State but it is taken for granted by
local people that if the machines can
not be used in Milwaukee they will
not be used in Kenosha Kenosha may
be forced to go back to the old style of
voting. If such a demand is made it
will be on account of the Mary Ann
provision Of the election law The AT
torney General has held that voters
must be given the right to vote for
their second choice for the Office of
United States Senator and the Supreme
Court has held that the provisions for
second choice votes on Milwaukee vot-
ing machines is insufficient Kenosha
does not have the same kind of ma
will at once be taken up with the ofic
ials of the company making the ma
chimes. It is not thought that any OBJ
lection will be raised to the use Of the
machines in Kenosha but it is just pos
sible that an election where the ma
chimes were used following the decision
of the Supreme Court might leave a
cloud on the right of the candidates
elected to take their Office. The ma
chimes have been used in Kenosha for
more than ten years and it is certain
that the people of the city would lot
rather surrender their right to second
choice votes than the convenience OF
using the machines in the voting
booths. 1t has been so long since the
local election officials have handled the
old time Australian ballots that they
will undoubtedly find lot of trouble
handling them.
The city officials were considerably
interested in the matter this morning
and if the decision of the court is found
to apply to Kenosha it will be neces-
sary for the city to, get out entirely
new election supplies for the recording
and counting of the votes, Before any
action is taken the matter will be put
straight up to the Secretary of State
and the Attorney General. This is
just another Kenosha Indictment
against the "Mary Ann" and it is
certain that Kenosha officials will be
in the vanguard in demanding the re-
peal of this troublesome and useless
election provision.
