Law Abiding Members of
Nationality in Kenosha De-
mand Better Protection.
WANT COUNTRYMEN DISARMED

Leaders among the Italians of the
city and many of them are substantial
law abiding citizens are making pro-
test to the city and county officials
against the continued shooting ARRAYS
among Italians and are demanding that
some adequate move be made to secure
the removal of revolvers, knives ami
other weapons from the homes of Ital-
ians in the city. Their protest has been
made to the chief of police and they
are determined to carry it to the judges
OF the courts in the county, if neces-
sary.
Italians in Kenosha who are law
abiding citizens are tired of having
their regulations damaged by this con-
tinuous gun play, said one of the lead
ing Italians in the city this morning.
"We want the carrying of guns by
Italians and all other people stopped
and the leaders of the italian people in
Kenosha will be the first to give aid to
any movement which will put an end
to these continued blots against the
name of the italian people. These men
are not representative of the Italian
people and there are lot of US who
feel that the time has come to demand
action. We believe that if necessary
every italian home in the city should
be searched for fire arms and we will
give every possible aid to the police
officers if such thing is done. These
men were not permitted to carry arms
In their own country and lot of them
have mistaken liberty for license to
kill. The sooner every revolver is
taken from people in Kenosha the bet
ter the law abiding Italians will like
1t. We believe that every man caught
carrying revolver should be given a
limit sentence at hard labor and that
just as heavy sentence should be i'm
posed on the man found with a knife.
There may be feuds among the Italians
but the better element among us are
in favor of having these feuds discon-
tinued.'

CONFERENCE AN INFORMAL ONE
J. M Cleveland Traffic Manager for the
P. M. Steamers Declares Steamers
Will Not Quit Kenosha Harbor Under
Any Agreement With Older Line.

Captain L. L. Hill Of the Hill Steam
boat Company and J. M. Cleveland,
general freight and passenger agent
OF the Pere Marquette Steamers, have
united in making a formal denial of
a report recently given out which in
dictated that the two companies were
making an agreement by which the
squabble over business in Kenosha
would be eliminated. Both Of the
transportation leader declare that en-
tirely too much publicity was given
to an informal conference between
Captain Hill and Mr. Cleveland re-
Gently held at the Hotel Borup and
both assert that the conference was
not an "oficial conference but it is
admitted that there was a discussion
of conditions in Kenosha and that this
discussion was along the lines of the
elimination Of competition. Both of
the managers agree that the publica-
tion of the proposed plans were prema-
ture and both asserted that nothing
had been done to carry out an agree
ment along the lines stated. Captain
Hill declared that he did not desire
to discuss the matter more than to say
that any announcement was premature
and that nothing had been agreed upon.
Mr.. Cleveland declared that he had re-
fused to entertain propositions which
would result in the Pere Marquette
steamers withdrawing from the Keno
sha port.
"The conference between Captain
Hill and myself" said Mr. Cleveland,
twas an entirely friendly discussion of
conditions in Kenosha and I had no
power to speak for the officials of the
Pere Marquette steamers. The alleg-
ed proposition of Captain Hill that we
give up the Kenosha business and ac-
acept instead of it unrestricted fruit
carrying business is not to be consid-
cred and I informed him that I would
not take this matter up with the of
ficials of our company. We have come
into Kenosha and we expect to re-
main here
This is the present status of the boat
line controversy, but it can be said
that there is nothing to prevent either
Of the managers changing their minds
later.
Business men of the city have been
watching the competition between the
two companies with considerable inter
est and these men are anxious that
out of it be worked out a stable and
confirming service for the city. Such
a service is now being furnished by
both Of the lines, but the business men
seem to fear that the business here is
not sufficient to support both compan-
les and it is an open secret that some
agreement which would result in a
union of the interests would be
welcomed.

DAMON AND PYTHIAs SPLIT.
Men Who Had Worked Together for
Three Years Damage Each Other Eyes.

Damon and Pythias fell out on Mon
day. The two had been members of
construction gang for three years
and had shared each other IS bunk in
the tent, had borrowed money from
each other, and had even courted the
same girl, hut Their came an end to
everything and it came when the two
men met in battle royal out on West
Prairie avenue Monday evening.
They went for each other strong and
Damon, who In real life was Dan Wal
ers, came into court this morning with
a black eye which extended all over
his face while Pythias, who gave his
eral name as Jack Ragel, had a badly
bruised face. The two told their story
to Judge Taylor declaring that for
three years they had lived without a
squabble. They proclaimed their love
for each other and their extreme sor-
row that they had been mixed in a
common street brawl. Judge Taylor
with the facts of the real Damon and
Pythias in mind released them on the
payment of the costs and they left the
court arm in arm after making a pool
of their funds to settle with the clerk.

Dwelling House Takes Fire
From Lighted Cigarette
Thrown on Rear Porch.
4 ESCAPE UNDER DIFFICULTY

The fire department. was called out
just after one O'Clock this morning
on account of a bad fire in the home
of Mrs. NJ. Koeneman, 800 Pearl street
and before the blaze had been ex-
tinguished damage to the amount of
more than $500 had resulted. It is
said that the loss is fully covered by
insurance. Mrs. Koeneman and her
daughter and two roomers living, in the
house escaped from the burning build
ing under difficulties. The fire must
have been burning for some time be-
fore it was discovered and it is
thought possible that it was caused
by one of the roomers of the house
throwing a lighted cigarette on rear
porch. The flames burned through the
walls of. the house into one of the
rooms in which a lamp had been left
on table. The lamp exploded and
threw burning oil all over the house.
Mrs Koeneman and her daughter were
sleeping in the room where the lamp
exploded and they knew nothing Of
the fire until they were awakened by
the report of the explosion. The wom-
ans and her daughter and the other
two roomers in the house escaped in
their night clothes. When the depart
ment arrived the fire was spreading
rapidly to all parts of the house and
two streams of water were necessary
to fight the fire. The house is owned
by Otto Windorf and the loss on the
building is covered by insurance.

NEW SALOONS HAVE TROUBLE
License Committee May Decline to
Recommend ANY Increase in Number
of Licenses Regardless of Large In
crease in City Territory.

Local men interested in the liquor
business have set up the claim that
the city of Kenosha is now entitled
under the state law to issue l04 saloon
licenses. This is based on the recent
action of the United States Census
bureau in formally estimating the pop
ulation Of the city at 26,062 people and
the liquor men hold that the city is
entitled to issue one saloon license for
each $50 people. In past years the
number Of saloons to be licensed has
been limited to the number allowed
under the last national census, but this
is the first time that the national GEN.
sus bureau has given formal estimates
of population following the taking of
national census.
At the present time the city has
ninety-six retail liquor dealers Licenses
this being two more licenses than
would be allowed under the figures Civ
en- out by the government at the time
of the taking Of the national census
However, the number is not in excess
of the number of saloons in existence
at the time the Baker law went into
effect The members of the council
have each year refused to increase the
number of saloons. At the present time
there are unusual conditions confront.
ing the city. With the annexation OF
new territory there will cone into the
city five more saloons and this would
bring the total in the city up TO 101
to say nothing of licenses which may
be demanded from wholesale dealers in
beer and other liquors. If the law is
TO be followed as in other years and the
number of saloons limited to the mum.
Der allowed under the population fig.
ures of 1910 the council committee will
have to weed out some of the saloons
or refuse to grant licenses to the places
to be brought in from the town of
Pleasant Prairie. The members of the
be tickled to death to have chance
to issue these licenses for another year
but as the new territory will automa,
tically become part of the city on
June l9th-barring court action--it
would be impossible for the town to
claim the license fees for another year
There is no reason to believe that
any of the saloons now in existence in
the city will give up their licenses un,
less forced to by the committee fail.
ing to recommend a granting of a new
license and the estimated population
plan seems to be in the nature of a
life saver for the saloon men. The APP
plications for license will be fled with
the city clerk during the month of
June and the council will hold special
meeting on the last Monday in June to
grant the licenses. The committee on
licenses has not been sleeping and the
manner of operation of every saloon in
the city is well known to the chairman
and other members of the committee
If all of the licenses now operative
are renewed this year some of the
proprietors of saloons will be forced to
show the committee that during the
coming year their places will be run
more in keeping with the laws and the
ordinances than they have been run in
the year just closing.

LOWER OLD GLORY At SUNSET.
Good Form as Explained by Veteran
Bodies Here for Memorial Day.

Criticism of carelessness in connec-
ton with the exposure of the United
States flag on buildings in Kenosha to-
day caused veterans to point out that
it is distinctly chad FORM to fly the
flag at night as well as day. 1t was
also suggested that Kenosha might do
well to take hint from the army regu-
lations and lower the flag at shutdown.
The following rules governing the OBJ
servance of the flag, formulated by the
Sons of the Revolution in the state of
New York and given general circula-
ton, are suggested by veterans for
consideration by the people of Keno
sha:
The flag should be hoisted at sunrise,
at least not before sunrise.
The flag should be taken down at
"retreat" or shutdown. In military
parlance this is the "last gun
On any festive occasion civilians
should stand at attention when the flag
is taken down and should uncover at
the playing Of the 'star spangled Ban
nerD
When the national colors are pass
ing on parade or in review, the spec
tator should if walking, halt, and if
sitting arise and then stand at atten-
tion and uncover.
When the flag is shown at half staff
as sign of mourning it should be
first hoisted to the top and then low
cred to position and preliminary to low
ering it from half staff it should first
be raised to the top.
On Memorial day, May 30th, the flag
should fly at half staff from sunrise to
noon and from noon to sunset at full
staff.

MUST 4AY FOR DAMAGE TO JAIL.
VIM. Bother Agrees to Pay for Damage
Done to Cell in City Lookup.

William Bother, who claimed he was
q Kenosha man, fingered long over the
wine on Monday. He fingered so long
that when the police officers finally
found him and took him to the city
lookup he was in fighting mood and
there being no one in the cell to fight
with Bother took it out on the equip
ment of the cell. Before his enthusi-
asm could be restrained he had done
damage to the amount of a good many
dollars. This morning he was in the
municipal court sorry and penitent.
Judge Taylor heard his story and the
story of the damaged lookup and de-
cided that the man could show his
penitence by paying the police depart
ment ten dollars to repair the damage
at the lookup and paying fine of a
dollar and costs. Bother made good.
