Chicago. Ill. Jan. 2-If the state
board OF pardons and Governor Dunno
grant a Communication OF the life SEN
tence OF DR.. Haldane Cleminson. con-
victed four years ago by wife murder.
ne Will go to the leper colony in the
Philippines or elsewhere to exercise
his exceptional capabilities and nedi-
cal knowledge in the service of his fell
low beings" This is the pledge Glenn
inson will make when the case goes
before the state board.
Evidence in the form OF af.idavits
will be introduced TO carry out the
contention that DIR. Cleminson aid
not arrive at his residence until after
> O'Clock on the morning of May 81.
1909. when the body of his wide was
found: that the condition OF the body
proved Mrs. Cleminson had been
dead at least six hours prior 10 that
time: and that Mrs. CleminSon's
death was the result of suicide by
chloroform or of heart failure.
The chief evidence is given by a
Mrs. Anna Schmidt, since remarked.
whose affidavit affirms that she was
with DIR. CIeminson at his Office from
s p. m. on May 30. 1909. until nearly
O'Clock the next morning. and that
he was intoxicated at the time.
\ number of prominent physi-
clans, according TO the doctors law
yer are backing the effort to get
pardon for DIR. Cleminson.
DIR. Cleminson Is yet less than 80
years old" he said land is at the
height OF his powers. He is a bril-
liant man with wonderful capacities
and considered by many Chicago ply
sicians one OF the best doctors in the
state. He is at present allowed to
work in the hospital at the peniten-
tiary."

stating that the missing man had
gone through Rock Island enroute to
Aberdeen.
Found at Depot.
Deciding to abandon their search
here. the men fastened to the Rock

chasing tickets for Dakota. Johnson
leisurely walked into the room. The
brothers were overjoyed and proceed

take him back TO his home at once.

Friday was designated as Fire
prevention Day" as well as 'Arbor
land Bird Day" by the governor in the
effort to impress on the people of the
Estate how much of the enormous
annual FIRE loss is due to pure careless
Iness of one kind and another and, in
1.-THE words of the state fire marshal, to
make them realize the extent to which
fhere is direct responsibility for fire. !"
I'm this country the direct response
lbility idea will never be carried to the
dengths that it is in SOL foreign
countries where property owner is
piable for damages to adjoining prop
erty from fires starting on his prem
Uses, but we have reached the point
where deputy fire marshals can order
changes in buildings where conditions
are found to be unsafe and even order
the removal of buildings which unrea-
isonably increase the fire hazard. The
,people are being shown that the fire
waste can be cut down through their
cooperation and that they are assimi-
lating these lessons is shown by the
sentiment which permits the enforce
nlent of more rigid inspection laws in
all of the cities of the state and in
the acceptance of all regulations de
signed to decrease the fire hazard The
averages of the next ten year period
should show big decrease in the
number OF fires and consequent losses
due to preventable causes.

BRUINS MAY GET ANOTHER TERM
Mayor Will Also Name Members of the
Board of Park Commissioners and of
Board of Health-Latter Board to
Name Health Commissioner in May.

Mayor M. J. Scholey will make the
first of his commission appointments
before the next meeting of the COM
mon council and it will be up to the
council for confirmation at that time
This will be member of the police and
fire commission to succeed John Bruins.
Commissioner Bruins was named by
Mayor Scholey during a former admin
istration. He has made the statement
that he is not seeking reappointment
but his friends are making strong
effort to have him named to succeed
himself on the commission. Commits
sioner Bruins has been faithful in the
performance of his duties and has at
tended nearly every session of the
commission held since his appointment
Several other men have been mentioned
in connection with the appointment
1t is said that the re-appointment of
Commissioner Bruins would be entirely
satisfactory to the members of the
commission. The place on the fire and
police commission has not in the past
been considered one of the political
spoils of office.
At the same time Mayor Scholey
will have the power of naming mem
Der. of the board Of park commission
ers to succeed DR.. E. F., Rowell, who
was named to take the place of Ben
Eichelman less than year ago. DIR.
Rowell has been very active member
of the park board, but he is not max
ing any fight for a appointment. It
is understood that he would accept the
appointment if rendered to him by the
mayor
The term Of M. j. Isermann as a
member of the board of health will also
expire on the first of May and an APP
pointment must be made to fill this va
cancy. Mr.. Isermann was originally
named on the board by Mr.. Scholey
under former administration.
All of the appointments of the mayor
for these boards are subject to con-
firmation by the common council.
Meetings for reorganization of the
various boards will be held shortly
after the first of May. The work of
the boards has been of such a har-
monious nature during the past two
years that should Mayor SchoIey name
new members for all of them such ap-
Ipointments would in no way interfere
with the workings of the board, as all
of them are free from fractional feeling.
One of the first duties of the reor-
ganized health board will be the cleo
tion of commissioner Of public
health. This election will be subject to
confirmation by the council and the APP
pointee of the board must also have
the sanction of the Wisconsin state
board of health. 1t is expected that
DR.. j. j. McShane will be reelected to
this office without opposition and that
his appointment will be confirmed by
/ the unanimous vote of the council.

doubtful if the throwing away of the
lighted Smoke is called to mind as
being the origin of the blaze.
Perhaps some one lights lamp or
lantern, and with wave of the match
losses it aside. The flourish of the
match, OF course, is expected to put
out the blaze, and generally it does.
There may be spark left, however,
that will glow for little time and
ignite something against which it has
fallen. The result is a blaze, and Of
tentime a big one.
Perhaps the insulation has worn off
of some of the electric wires in a
house or other building. You delay
having repairs made, and the result is
a costly fire. Defective wiring is the
cause assigned in the record of the
FIRE chief, when defective headwork is
frequently the real cause.
Even the chimney fue comes in for
its full share of fires started. The
owner of a house may know his fiue is
IN bad shape, but here again nothing
is done until it is too late.
1t waste were not allowed to collect
in corners and byplaces; if chimneys,
heating and lighting apparatus were
all kept in proper shape; if men and
women were thoughtful in the use of
matches; there would be decidedly
fewer fires and far less loss Of life
and property.

State Fire Marshal Urges
Observance of Fire Pre-
yention Day on Friday.
HAS SUPPORT OF GOVERNOR

Officials of the city have been asked
to join in a state wide movement for
the observance Of Fire Prevention day
on Friday. This is the day set apart
by Governor McGovern for Arbor and
Bird day and "Fire Prevention Day.
as well. The following is the proclama-
ton of the state fire marshal:
Hon. Francis E. McGovern, the gov
ernor of our state, has by proclamation
designated May 1st as "Fire Proven
tion Day" as well as Arbor and Bird
Day." He concludes his proclamation
by using the following language: "But
while thus recognizing the value of
the beautiful we must not overlook the
Importance of security. Hence this
day is also designated as Fire Proven
ton Day; and / recommend that it be
set apart by all as day for clearing
away any unsightly rubbish and dis
posing of all infammable material that
may in any way add to the risk
from fire.,
/ Few persons, in all probability, re-
alize the extent to which there is a
direct responsibility for fire. Often
times the origin of the fire is unknown
and not infrequently the cause is laid
to spontaneous combustion. Yet the
chances are that if the facts were
known it would not be difficult to es-
tablish a human agency for the start
ing of the fire. If carelessness of this
sort could be stopped, the majority of
fires would never start.
One of the most fruitful sources of
fire is IN the waste heap. Of course, a
waste heap of itself is not going to
set anything afre; but it can offer a
mighty big assistance. And it is
through such assistance, often, that
the fire proves so destructive.
Some one throws cigar stub or a
cigarette into a pile of waste and pro-
| ceeds to forget about the incident.
Even when the fremen arrive, it is

The annual convention of the asses
sors of the county was harmonious
gathering and there was a disposition
shown by all of the assessors to make
the next assessment conform more
nearly to the demands of the state tax
commission and to the full value assess
ment lAw. There are glazing inequalities
In the county assessment just as there
are In every assessment, but a great
number of them can be corrected and
equalized it an honest effort is made
to get at the true value of the property.
A comparison of the sales records with
the assessed value of property shows
that there should be considerable in
creases in the assessed valuation of
many of the towns, but there is no
question but that the burden of taxa
tion would be more equitably distri-
buted if all property was brought to
the true value assessment.
