CLEAN UP BAD MESS.
Work Of Clearing Away Ruins of Petit
Malt House Completed on Friday.

Superintendent r. E. Mailer and his
force of workmen on Friday afternoon
completed the work of clearing away
the ruins of the elevators of the M. H.
Petit Mailing Company, ruined by fire
early in March. The last work was
the removing of two badly damaged
cars of the Northwestern Railway
Company. This was completed by
means of a wrecker and wrecking
crew. With the debris left by the fire
cleared away it is expected that the
work of adjusting the insurance on the
plant will go forward more rapidly.
1t is expected that the salvage from
the burned plant will bring more than
$4,000. The directors Of the company
have made no decision as to the re-
building of the plant and no decision
will be made until the final settlement
is reached with the insurance com
panies.

ORDERS THE CASE DISMISSED
Jury Had Given Johnson a Verdict of
$4,000 and This Later Was Cut to
S14oo by Presiding Judge-Case I'M
portant to Manufacturers of State.

Frank E. Johnson, Kenosha man
who sued the Aetna Insurance Com
pany in the Milwaukee courts to Sc
cure damages for the loss of his posi-
ton following an injury, has lost his
fight as the supreme court of the state
on Friday afternoon handed down a
decision reversing the decision of the
circuit court in the case and directing
that it be dismissed. The suit was
one in which manufacturers through
out the state had taken great inter-
est as it brought to the courts new
problem in damage suits following per-
sonal injuries. The suit of johnson
against the insurance company has been
in the courts of the state for more
than three years. johnson was award
ed verdict of $4,000 damages when
the case was heard by jury in the
circuit court of Milwaukee county. but
Judge Fritz, who had presided at the
trial of the case, held that the yer.
diet assreturned by the jury gave dam
ages which were excessive and he re-
duced the amount to ST 400. The in
surance company fled an appeal from
this decision Of the court.
Johnson sued the company for what
was termed pernicious activity on the
part of officials of the insurance com
pany to have johnson lose a position
which he had held with the Simmons
Manufacturing Company of this city.
johnson several years ago was en-
ployed as a polisher in the plant of
the Simmons company and while in
such employment he received an in
jury to one of his eyes. Efforts were
made to settle the case by representa-
tiVes Of the Aetna Insurance Company
with which company the Simmons
company had carried liability policy
on men in the employ of the company.
Johnson remained at work in the plant
of the company. He refused offers Of
settlement made to him by the officials
of the company declaring that the
amounts offered were not sufficient to
compensate him for his injuries. Some
time later he was discharged from the
employ of the company and after his
discharge he brought the suit against
the insurance company. He alleged in
the suit that he had been discharged
at the orders Of the officials of the in
surance company after he had refused
to settle his claim for damages. The
hearing of the case continued for more
than week in the circuit court and
many Kenosha witnesses were called.
Attorneys for Johnson also started
an action against the Simmons com
pany, but this action never came to
trial as the attorneys elected to try the
case against the insurance company.
johnson is at present in charge of
shoe shining parlor on the west side of
the city.

NOT TO VISIT KENosHA.
Senator Teasdale of Vice Crusade Fame
Says Kenosha is Already Cleaned Up.

In less than two weeks the white
slavery committee created at the last
legislative session will be conducting
further hearings in the state. Sena-
tor Teasdale said today that the com
mittee will hold long hearing in Mil
waukee, but that an abundance of in
formation had been gathered by special
Investigators on the conditions. He
says he has found the moral tone in
Racine generally good and compi-
ments the cities of Kenosha and Osh-
kosh in the recent '.cleanups."
Senator Teasdale spoke strongly to-
day against the segregated district
idea. He said that in three years the
convention of the chiefs of police of
the United States had changed from
seventy five per cent being in favor of
the segregated district, to only one at
the last national convention in favor
OF the segregated district idea. Aside
from the dance hall investigation,
which Senator Teasdale announced
yesterday would be undertaken, he an
nounced today that so much informa-
tion had been given to him about the
conduct of cabaret shows that these
would be included in the probe.
Senator Teasdale believes the com
mittee will be able to conclude its
work in the next two months and
that two months will be spent in writ
ing the report.
"It isn't going to be report of
glittering generalities," declared Sen
ator Teasdale. "We are going to use
names and places.'

MANY GATHER At 4 DINNER
R. B. Lang of Racine Is In Charge of
Ritualistic Work and Short Address
es Are Made by Many Prominent
Masons of the City.

Fifty members Of the Kenosha Coun-
ell of Royal and Select Masons gather
ed at the Masonic Temple on Friday
evening to attend the formal cere-
monies in connection with the dedica-
tion of the council and with them were
many visiting members from Racine
and Milwaukee. Acting under the
authority of the Grand Council Past
Illustrious Grand Master r. B. Lang
conducted the simple but impressive
ceremonies of dedication and turned
over to the council the formal charter
issued by the Grand Council. He was
assisted in the work by Henry J. Hast
ings, who acted as Grand Marshal, and
Edward F. Randall, acting as Grand
Chaplain.
Following the ritualistic ceremonies
of dedication of the council Thomas
S. Scott was installed as the first
Thrice Illustrious Master of the Keno
sha Council and with him the full staff
of officers.
The dedication of the new council
was made notable by the presence of
many of the older members of the Ma
sonic order in Kenosha. After the
ceremonies were over there were short
addresses by many of the local and
visiting members of the order. Mr..
Lang spoke especially of the happy re-
lations which had existed between the
Masons of Racine and Kenosha during
a period of more than half a century
and he declared that it had been a
great pleasure for the Racine Masons
to furnish to Kenosha the charter
members for both the Council and the
Commandery He declared that the
severing of relations of these members
with the Racine body had in no man
ner taken any of the interest which
Racine Masons had in the Kenosha
bodies of the great order.
Thrice Illustrious Master Thomas S.
Scott, Harry 0. Whitbeck, Past Thrice
Illustrious Master of the Racine Coun-
Gil, Col. w. W. Strong, Clarence E. Re-
mer, John M. Kehlor, Henry J. Hast
ings and Judge Clifford E. Randall
were among the other speakers of the
evening At the conclusion of the
ceremonies dinner was served in the
parlors of the temple at which covers
were laid for more than fifty.
The dedication proved to be most
enjoyable affair. 1t closed with an in
formal smoker. Plans have been laid
for a large increase in the member
ship Of the council and it is thought
that within a short time the member
ship will be increased to a hundred.

Brother Of Mrs. O. L. Ire
nary With u. S. Army of
Invasion in Mexico.
WAS WOUNDED At SAN JUAN

In the list of Uncle Sam IS soldiers
now on Mexican soil and in Mexican
waters waiting the order to begin
shooting, is Sergeant Walter J. Colvin,
a brother of Mrs. Otis L. Trenary and
well known to many people in Keno
sha. 1t has been good many years
! since Sergeant Colvin was in Kenosha
as a civilian, as for the past fifteen
years he has followed the fortunes of
the flag in lot of different countries
and In almost as many different en-
gagements. He is now first sergeant
of Battery j. of the Fourth Field Ar
tillery and with the other members Of
his company he is on the transport off
Vera Cruz awaiting the order to land
and begin actual operations against
Huerta and the Mexicans.
The Fourth Battery was one of the
first to be ordered to Mexico with the
outbreak of hostilities For three wears
the battery had been at TT. Sam Hous-
ton on the Mexican border just waiting
for something to develop in the trou-
bic between Mexico and the United
States and when the formal order came
for the troops to move the Fourth was
one of the first to start for the trans
ports.
Colvin while he has been in the army
for long time, has not seen as much
OF the monotony of army life as many
OF the soldiers of Uncle Sam and he
has been kept pretty busy. He was
one of the few American soldiers to
see service during the Boxer uprising
in China. Then he was with the army
of invasion which went to Cuba dur
+ ing the Spanish war in 1898 and he
was one of the men who brought back
with him mark of the struggle. At
the battle of San Juan Hill Sergeant
Colvin was shot through the thigh and
this wound kept him out of active
service for some months. After he re-
covered he was a member of one of
the batteries sent to the Philippines to
aid in the fight against the insurgents
there and he saw several years service
IN the islands. He has seen consider
able service at border posts.
Letters from Sergeant Colvin indi-
cate that the soldiers are anxious to
get into Mexico and clean up the
situation there.

NO WORD FROM HIM IN MONTH
Relatives Are Anxious Lest He May be
the Victim of Enmity Against Amer
leans in Mexican Capital-Won High
Place in Railway Work.

People residing at Somers Station
are watching with great deal of in
terest the development of events in the
City of Mexico on account of the fact
that Everett Thompson, brother of
n. E. Thompson, station agent for the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail
way Company at the village, is one of
the Americans in the Mexican capital.
Mr.. Thompson admitted this morning
that he was considerably worried about
his brother as he has received no word
from him In more than month re-
CARELESS of the fact that he has sent
several messages in an effort to ascer-
tain as to whether or not he is safe
Everett Thompson is one of the
Americans who made good in Mexico.
He is now general superintendent of
the National Railway in Mexico and
he has held this position for the last
two years. With his wife and two
children General Supt. Thompson has
resided in the city of of Mexico. He
paid his last visit to Kenosha county
a little over a year ago when he spent
some time in Kenosha as the guest of
w. w. Vincent, president of the
Vincent-Alward company. General Sup
erintendent Thompson is now nearly
fifty years Of age and he has had an
important part in the development Of
Mexican railways in recent years. Like
a lot of men who have reached high
posts in the railway world he began
life as a telegraph operator. Later he
served as a train dispatcher in the en-
ploy of the Northern Pacific, Santa
Fe and Chicago and North Western
Railway Company. He gave up his
work out in Nebraska ten years ago
and went to Mexico and went to work
as train dispatcher. He applied
some American brains and lot of
American vigor to his work and as a
result his advance was rapid until three
years ago he was made general super
intendent of the big Mexican Railway
Company
Thompson has been in close touch
with political movements in Mexico
and his relatives are inclined to be-
lieve that his semi official position
would prove a safeguard for him in
case of serious trouble in the Mexican
capital. He was an ardent supporter
of the Diaz administration in Mexico,
but he has written little in regard to
his feelings toward Dictator Huerta
and his associates. His letters in past
months have indicated that conditions
in Mexico have been very unsettled,
but in none of these letters has he ex-
pressed any fears of personal danger
to himself or his wife and children.
None of the lists of refugees from
Mexico City contain the name of Mr..
Thompson or the members of his family
and it is supposed that he has decided
to remain at his position regardless of
war and rumors of war;

PLAN FOR COMMENCEMENT.
Kenosha Hospital Training School to
Graduate Glass of Six Young Ladies.

Plans have been completed for the
annual graduation exercises of the
Kenosha Hospital Training School for
Nurses and the annual commencement
exercises will be held at the Park Ave.
NJ. E. church on the evening of May
10Th. The year just closing has been
notable one for the training school
and the class to receive diplomas will
be made up of six young ladies. The
class is not as large as last year and
this is in part due to the recent change
in the course of the school from two
to three year course.
The program for the commencement
exercises has not as yet been issued,
but some well known expert on hospital
work will be invited to make the
annual address. There has been a
steady growth in the work of the hos
pital training school and this advance
has been particularly pleasing to the
instructors and to the members of the
Board of Directors of the Kenosha
Hospital. The young women who have
graduated from the Kenosha school, are
meeting with success in the profession
and this fact has done much to make
the school popular with the young
women of Kenosha and the surrounding
territory who desire to take up nursing
as profession. 1t is declared that the
training of the Kenosha school is equal
if not superior to that offered in the
leading hospitals of the country.
The list of graduates in the class of
1914 includes the Misses Mabel z.
Alexander, Mildred Hansen, Christine
Heide, Emma L. Kruckman, Josephine
R. Loomer and Elizabeth Mach erland.

veloped in the municipal court this
morning at the hearing Of CONSTANT
Korcekie and Wanda Polochansk, two
Russians arrested on statutory charges
The couple was arrested at 665 Garden
street late Friday night by Police
Officers Cyzak and Beth. When the
woman was brought into court she in
formed the judge thai the charges were
true and declared that she had lived
with the man for two years in Utica,
n. Y, and for nearly year in Keno
sha. The man in the case, scarcely
more than a boy, declared that his re-
lations with the young woman had al
ways been of legal nature. Judge
Randall adjourned the hearing of the
case pending a further examination into
the facts. The young man and his
friends charge that he was the victim
Of a conspiracy.

Maj. Chas. J. Symmonds of
Kenosha Ordered to Join
Troops in Strike District
SON TO ENTER WEST POINT

Major Charles J. Symmonds of the
United States army, passed through
Kenosha today enroute for TT. Robin
son, Neb., to join his squadron of the
18th Cavalry of the U. S. Army and he
carried with him orders from the war
department to proceed at once to the
Colorado strike regions. Two com
panies of the Twelfth Cavalry are
now in the strike district and two more
companies have been ordered there at
once. This will be the first assignment
to Major Symmonds since he was adj
vanced in the line few months ago.
He reported to the army headquarters
in Chicago for orders this afternoon.
While in Kenosha Major Symmonds
announced that another member of the
Symmonds family is to have place in
the United States army as his son,
Robert E. Symmonds, has just passed
the examinations for presidential APP
pointment to West Point. There were
eighty applications for the examina-
tions and the former Kenosha bow
passed the examination with rank of
fifth. AS the president now has eight
appointments to make it is certain
that young Symmonds will be among
the new cadets at West Point with the
opening of the new year. It has been
one of the ambitions of Major Sym
monds to have his son a student at
West Point and he was elated over
the success of the young man in Sc
curing so high rank in the examina-
tions held at Washington.
