custom, walked into it and called Kn-
nosha as the next station. The car A.

Evidently Schlitz and his sister beHey-
eG that the car was pulling past the
kenosha station and before they could
be stopped by any one on the platform
beth OF them jumped from the train.

ance was called and the were removed

Dr. Robinson when seen this morning

the patients was encouraging and that
he had no doubt but that they would

Gov. McGOyern Sends Let
ters to All Chairmen in
Kenosha County Today.
ASKS ACTION ON new SESSION

Chairmen of every town in Kenosha
county was called to the aid of Cover,
nor McGovern in fighting the battle Of
increased taxation today when letters
signed by the governor were sent to
them urging them to lay the matter
of calling special session of the leg
islature before the various towns at
the spring election to be held on next
Tuesday. The action of the governor
is unique in the history of Wisconsin
politics. 1t is doubtful if the chair
men in KenoSha county will take any
action i'll the matter. With the letter
to the town chairnea the governor has
enclosed long letter addressed to the
people and he has asked that his let
ter be read before every town meet
ing and that the voters be asked to
show whether or not they are in favor
of a special session of the legislature
to decide on the reduction of appro-
priations. 1t is understood that the
governor will be bound entirely in the
matter of the special session by the
action of the town elections. The let
ter emphasizes the matter of highway
appropriations and it seeks to call a
halt on the great expenditure Of
money for highways.
The letter points out that special
session of the Legislature to deal with
the problem Of appropriations, es-
pecially those relating to buildings
and to highways, is being considered
by the chief executive. AS to the first,
the governor points out that by refus-
ing to sanction any building that was
not absolutely necessary by June Both
he will have saved approximately
$65O,O00. He has effected this saving
with the cooperation of the boards
concerned as follows: Through the
University of Wisconsin, 100000;
through the Board of Control, $171 900
and through the normal schools,
$4,000.
The five questions submitted, brief
ly summarized are: Is a cut in highway
appropriation favored, and if so how
much? Should the amounts due the
several towns, if uncalled for, be re-
served for at least three years instead
of being distributed in other towns
and counties as at present. Should
the provision through which individu-
ais, by subscribing certain amounts
car force local appropriations, be re-
pealed?
The last two questions deal with the
ACCESSIBILITY Of constitutional amend
ment permitting executive veto of
separate items in appropriation bills,
and the wisdom of a legislative rule, in
the event special session IS called,
requiring every appropriation to be
submitted in separate bill.

Aid. Thomey Submits to
TRANSMISSION of Blood to
Save His Child's Life.
OPERATION SUCCESSFUL ONE

Alderman Herbert Thomey Of the
ninth ward, submitted to an operation
for TRANSMISSION of blood at the Keno
sha hospital on Sunday with a view
of saving the life of his infant son
and it is declared today that the oper-
alton was successful one and that
the little boy is rapidly gaining
strength and health. The little son
was born only few days ago and
from the first he had suffered from I'M
proper blood circulation. Early Sun
day morning the baby was taken with
an attack Of hemmorrhage Of the
bowels and physicians called to attend
him declared that the only thing that
could save the life of the little boy
would be TRANSMISSION of blood The
child was hurried to the Kenosha hos
pital and DR.. J. H. Clearly, who had
been treating him, summoned a specia-
list from Chicago to aid in the opera
tion. Just before noon Alderman
Thomey went to the operating room
of the hospital and submitted to the
operation. Nearly a quart of blood
was taken from the arteries of the al
derman and pumped into the arteries
OF the little son and within a few
minutes the infant began to improve.
Sunday night its condition had so m
proved that it was taken from the os-
pital to the Thomey home and restored
to the arms of the mother.
Alderman Thomey did not suffer any
i'll effects from the operation and he
was able to be out on Sunday evening.
His great JOY in his contribution to
save the life of the little boy more
than compensated for all he had suf-
fered from the operation.
This is the second time within a
few months that operations for trans
fusion of blood have been performed
at the Kenosha hospital. In the past
these operations were decidedly rare
or account of the great danger attend
ing them, but specialists now believe
that these operations are the best
course in saving the lives Of infants.
Some four months ago l.. F. Bidinger
submitted to similar operation to
save the life of his infant child. The
little baby is now growing into healthy
babyhood and the success of the opera
tion was declared complete and Mr..
Bidinger suffered no bad effects from
his part in it. It s thought that the
operation for Alderman Thomey IS son
on Sunday viii prove quite as sue
cessful

Dealings of w. L. Essmann of Madison
in Kenosha Offices Being Investigated.

Dealings of w. L. Essman, former
superintendent of public property for
the state, are being investigated all
over the state and the investigation
is to include dealings between Kenosha
county officials and Essman when he
was in office at Madison. Letters sent
to Kenosha this morning asked that
receipts be sent to Madison and that
a careful list of all monies turned over
to Essman be made. While it is Gen.
orally believed that the state officials
are backing the prosecution of Ess-
man this does not appear from letters
received by the officials aud these di-
rect that the information be sent TO
a postofice box in Madison. All deal
ings between Essman and Kenosha
county officials were in connection with
the delivery of state property for the
use of officials in Kenosha.

WOULD INTERFERE WITH TANKS
Company insists That ultimate ;
Plan to Build Big Gas Plant Would
Be Interfered With by Sewer Along
the Banks of the Kenosha River.

Plans for the building of an inter
cepting sewer along the banks Of the
henosha river got hard jolt on We'd
nesday afternoon when City Engineer
Brennan and City Attorney John G.
Slater sought an easement for the sew
e. from the Wisconsin Gas and Ele3-
trio Company. The company owns a
large piece of ground fronting on the
river and now used as the site for the
gas tanks. The officials of the com
pany declined to sign an easement and
they gave the officials of the city no
encouragement that such an easement
would be signed later r.. B. Stearns,
vice president and general manager Of
the company took up the matter with
the city officials and he declared that
the building of such sewer would
badly interfere with the plans of the
company for the erection Of a new
gas plant on the site. This proposed
gas plant is the same one that blocked
the proposed plan for the building of
the switch tracks along the river. 1t
seems that the company has no imme-
date plans for the building Of the new
gas tanks, but the "ultimate plan
of the company is going to stand in
the way of all public improvements in
this neighborhood
The gas company is one of the real
offenders in the pollution of the Keno
sha river and it was one of the objects
Of this intercepting sewer to provide
for the cleaning up of the river.
Blocked in the long stretch of proper
tv owned by the company it will prob
ably be necessary for the city to seek
another route for the sewer.
1t is possible under the law for the
city to condemn a right of way for
the sewer, but should the gas company
seek to fight the case it is probable
that it, would be able to collect CON
siderable amount in damages before
the sewer forced it's way through the
land in question.
Engineer Brennan has already start
ed work on an alternative plan for the
sewer which will provide for running
it along Ashland avenue to Pearl
street and east on Pearl street. This
plan would not be nearly as acceptable
to the city as the former plan of fol
loving the lines of the river, but it
would make a good sewer and it would
take care of nearly all the sewage
planned to run into the sewer as form
erly planned.
IF the plan is changed the city will
undoubtedly insist that the gas com.
pany make independent plans to take
care of all sewage from the gas house
and provide for disposing of it other
than pouring it into the river.

on Sunday morning. The first was to
the home of John Murphy on Park

fire to the roof of the house and before

use of chemicals damage to the amount
of fifty dollars had resulted. The dam
age was fully covered by insurance.

due to burning cigar being thrown
