MYSTERY IN KENOSHA DEATH
Prominent Scandinavian Found Dying
in Park Laooon-PoIice and
Coroner Investigate.

Observation-Disclosures Johnson, aged
A, leader among Swedish-Americans
in Kenosha, was found dying in the
shallow waters of lagoon at Ander-
son's park, south OF Kenosha. He was
rescued from the water and taken to
d house nearby but he died without
regaining consciousness. The cause
of his death is a mystery and the po-
lice and the coroner are investigat-
ing. Johnson spent the night with his
brother and the two had parted at mid
night, the brother going to his home
and Johnson starting for his boarding
house. This was the iast seen of him
until he was found. An examination
of the body revealed several bad bruis-
es, but none of them was sufficient to
cause death. The mans money and
valuables were found in his pockets.

CLERKS INSIST ON
WASSERMAN TEST
RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF NEW
EUGENiC MARRIAGE LAW
is PROPOSED.
OWEN HOLDS UNNECESSARY
Attorney General Declares Highest
Scientific Test Was Not in Minds
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Believe
Courts Must Decide.

Milwaukee. - Although Attorney
the Wasserman test was not intended
by the legislature as feature of the
eugenic marriage law examination by
physicians, Wisconsin county clerks
i'll kilograms to local newspaper
state emphatically that they will adj
here strictly to the letter OF the law
A number OF the clerks in the princi-
pal counties have been asked their
construction Of the law and what they
will accept in the nature of physi-
reply Indicated purpose to deviate
not one iota from the reading of the
law, which, the clerks assume, in
cludes all of the recognized laboratory
and clinical tests for venereal dis
eases.
Attorney General Owens opinion as
given from Madison is in part as fol-
lows:
Reading the law as Il whole, it is
absolutely clear that the highest sci
entific test was not in the minds OF
the legislators and when the nature of
the WaSserman test is considered it
is plain that the legislature did not
intend that such test be applied before
a doctor could give the certificate re-
quired by law. | therefore advise that
any physician applying the ordinary
test at his command or at the com
mand of the ordinary practicing ply
stefan of the state may make the GER
tificate required by law, without hest
tatiOn or fear of the result"

Due to the Operation of Parcel Post
Which Has Cut Deeply Into
Express Business.

! Madison.-Final assessment of the
property of express companies doing

the assessment was found necessary.

pany in the present assessment is as
follows

are some twenty is fixed at $S78,000

SEEK SUCCESSOR
 FOR JUSTICE LURTON
NAMES OF MANY PROMINENT JURiSTS ARE SPOKEN OF FOR
 SUPREME BENCH.

Washington, D. C., July 13.-Al- though President Wilson has not be- gun serious consideration of the ap-
 pointment of a successor to the late Justice Lurton of the United States supreme court, it was reported to- night in circles close to the white
 house that he would lose no time in
 making a choice.
 Secretary Lane of the interior de-
 partment is regarded as more likely
 to be named than any of the many
 possibilities mentioned, in spite of
 the fact that the president is known
 to be very unwilling to break up his cabinet. Secretary of War Garrison and Attorney General McReynolds also have been suggested, but the fact that New Jersey already is repres sented on the court by Justice Pitney is believed to make Secretary Garri- son's selection highly improbable.

Freeport, N r., July 13.-The grand jury will begin tomorrow it's investigation into the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey. who was mysteriously shot in the office of Dr. Edwin Car man the night of June 30.
 Dr. Carman's wife is now in the Mineola jail charged with the crime. The physician will be the first wit ness called tomorrow
 While District Attorney Smith was comp citing the preparation of his evi- dence today, detectives made fruit less search along both sides of coun. try roads for the revolver used by the murderer. They followed the route which Dr Carman is known to have taken the day after the shoot ing, in calling on patients.
 Mrs. Carman's attorney examined in jail today Elwood T. Bardes, the prosecutions witness, who testified al the coroner's examination that he was passing the Carmal home when the fatal shot was fired and saw a woman whom he described bu tcould not identify, moving from the office window toward the rear of the yard
 The examination of Bardes, who has been locked up as a material wit ness, was the result of an agreement whereby Mrs. Carman will waive i'm munity and appear before the grand jury in exchange for the permission to examine Bardes. The doctor, wife will probably tell her story Wed nesday.
