TAKE CENSUS OF WINGED TRIBE
Government Orders an ofdcial Count
of All Birds in the United States.

A, bird census Of the United States
is the latest suggestion from the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The counting should begin this
month and every bird lover throughout
the country is invited to assist.
In the announcement the depart
ment says: "The object is to deter
mine how many pairs of birds of each
species there are, comparing these
figures with those Of subsequent cen
suses, thus it will be possible to ascer-
tain whether the present state and fed
eral laws are effective and game and
insectivofous birds increasing or di-
minishing in numbers. Voluntary OBJ
servers are relied upon to furnish most
of the desired data to the department =
The first step of the department was
to ask $50 Of its correspondents to act
as census agents in different localities.
They will select their trained observers
and following an outline of informa-
ton furnished by the department, will
take the census.
Correspondents will be asked to Sc
lect fairly representative territory in
their localities, and to note, among
other things, the kinds of and pairs
Of birds actually nesting within a
restricted plot. And the census tax
ers are warned not to include birds
which come into that territory sim
ply for breeding purposes.
Each correspondent is asked to go
out early in the morning to count
the male birds-for that is the hour
they do most Of their singing. Suf-
frage is to bear no part in the bird
counting, however, for the department
has decided that after migration is
over and the birds are settled in their
summer quarters cit is safe to CON
slider that each male represents a
breeding pair

BOARD SHOWS CONFIDENCE
Members Vote Unanimously For Re-
election of Competent Official Who
Has Done Much to Make Kenosha a
Healthier City-Work for Hospital

DR.. John J. McShane, who has served
in the capacity of commissioner of pub
lie health IL Kenosha since the enact
ment of the new health ordinance was
reelected to his position at meeting
of the board of health held at the
city hall on Friday evening. The men,
bers of the board showed their conf
dence in d.. McShane by giving him an
unanimous vote. In addition to this a
resolution was passed asking the COM
mon council to change the term of the
health commissioner from one to two
years and that the term of DR.. Me-
Shane be made for two years. The
election by the board of health is SUBJ
ject to the confirmation of the common
council and subject to the sanction of
the secretary of the state board Of
health.
Dr. McShane has made conspicuous
success in the position of health coms
missioner of Kenosha and his work in
the city has attracted the attention of
not only the members of the state
board of health, but of health commits
sioners in all parts of the state In the
two years that he has been in charge
of the department. he has reduced the
work to system. Under his manage
of the death rate in Kenosha and the
reign of contagious diseases in the city
has been ended. He. has introduced
many new methods in dealing with
great problems of the public health in
Kenosha. Under his administration
frequent tests have been made of the
lake water and changes in the pumping
station have been made with view
of making the water more safe.
Perfect quarantine conditions have
been provided as a result of his vigor-
Gus treatment of patients suffering with
contagious diseases and while there
have been complaints from quarantined
people his methods have shown their
value in the results attained. DR.. Me-
Shane has introduced into his depart
lhent plan for the inspection of all
diaries about Kenosha from which milk
is supplied to the people of the city
and no licenses have been certified by
the department until the source of the
milk supply has been investigated.
No other business of Importance was
taken mp by the members of the board /
of health at the meeting on Friday
evening. It is expected that within the
next two or three weeks joint meet
ing of the council committee on health
and sanitation and the members of the I
board of health will be held at which 1
time plans for the building of the iso-
lation hospital on the city farm viii be
taken up. The members of the board T
are anxious to have this hospital COM
pleted during the summer months, so
that it will be ready for service in case
there should be an outbreak of con-
tagious diseases during the winter
months.
1t is probable that within the near
future the board will recommend to
the council the passage of several ordi-
nances to provide for more sanitation
in buildings erected in the city.

Supreme Court of State Puts
Seal Of Approval on the
Wisconsin Eugenics.
MILWAUKEE RULING REVERSED

The supreme court Wednesday sus.
tanned the constitutionalty of the eu-
genics marriage law, reversing the judg.
ment of the Milwaukee county court
which declared it invalid. Justics Mar.
shall and Vinje dissented from the ma
jority opinion of the court.
The eugenics marriage law requires
male applicants for marriage licenses
to undergo blood tests as a condition
to granting Of a license, and was en-
acted by the last legislature.
Alfred A. Peterson, Milwaukee, was
refused a marriage license last January
by County Clerk Louis G. Widule, upon
failure to present certificate in com.
.pliance with the law. Peterson started
action to test the constitutionality of
the measure and Circuit Judge Eschwei.
Ter declared the law unconstitutional.
The district attorney upon request of
the attorney general appealed the case
to the supreme court with the result
that the measure s validity was upheld
In the case of Peterson, it was shown
that four physicians refused to make
the examination on the ground that the
fee named was insuficient for the tech
nical test known as the Wassermann
test which was considered necessary to
comply with the law.
The opinion says that the law is sus-
ceptible of two interpretations, but the
supreme court will give it the construc-
ton that sustains its validity.
In view of all these facts and in
view of the fact that the legislature
wished to reach practical and possible
results, says opinion, it seems un-
reasonable to suppose that they intend
to prescribe tests which the great ma
jority of the official examiners were not
able to make. We prefer to construe
the words recognized test as intended
to refer to test recognized and used
by the people who were to make them
This construction sustains the law
makes it reasonable, accomplishes its
evident purpose, provides for a guard
to marriage fully as effective in the
vast majority of cases as the applica-
ton of the Wassermann test. We have
not been able to appreciate the force
of the contention that the law inter
feres in any respect with religious lib
erty. We know of no church which
desires its ministers to profane the mar
riage ties by uniting man afflicted
with loathsome disease to an innocent
woman. =

INJURIES PROVE FATAL.
Dies as Result Of Wounds Received
When Gasoline Car Jumps Track.

John Butterworth of Chicago, sec.
ton hand employed by the North
Western railroad company, died at st.
Mary's hospital in Racine on Friday
as the result of injuries which he sus-
tanned ON Thurday when a gasoline
handcar on which he was riding jumped
the track near Berryville.
The body was removed to the Bayer-
man & Krug morgue, where it win be
prepared for burial, and will be shipped
to his home in Chicago. The funeral
will take place from his home in Chi
cago on Sunday afternoon. Butter
worth was q man 81 years Of age, and
was employed in the elevation depart
ment of the railroad, which is at pres
ent arranging to elevate tracks near
Kenosha
He had started for Racine in the
gasoline hand car Thursday morning,
and as he wished to get there as soon
as possible, was going at a high rate
Of speed. When he was opposite tbs
Hansche farm at Berryville, the gaso-
line car jumped the track and Butter
worth was pinned under it. People who
saw his predicament, rushed to assist
him and took the handcar off his body.
He was taken to Racine by a Case
tester.

WOULD CHANGE PROCEDURE.
Judge Taylor Asked to Give His Sane
tion to New Probate Court Plan.

County Judge George W. Taylor has
been asked to give his sanction to a
change in judicial procedure in
Wisconsin relating to the hearing of
contested cases in the county courts of
the state. Under the present rule these
cases are decided in the county courts
and in case of an appeal the appeal
must be taken to the circuit court.
Judge Sheridan of Milwaukee has sug-
gested that a change be made and that
in the future all contests be heard in
the circuit court. Another suggestion
is that the cases be heard in the county
courts as in the past and that the law
of judicial procedure be changed so as
to make possible an appeal directly to
to the supreme court from the county
court. Judge Taylor declared that he
was favorable to plan which would
give a direct appeal from the county
court to the supreme court, as he was
convinced that such plan would great
ly lesson delays attending the settling
of estates where contests are filed. The
change will be discussed at
the annual meeting of the Wisconsin
State Bar association to be held at
Green Bay next week. A number of the
Kenosha attorneys viii attend the ses-
sions at. Green Bay.

MAY REDUCE TERM LIMIT.
Judge Randall Sought as Advisor for
Shorter Term at Industrial School


Judge O. f. Randall Of the munich
pal court has been asked to give his
opinion of a plan for changing the
length of term of boys sentenced to
the industrial school at Waukesha and
he has declared himself in favor of
changing tho age for the release of the
boys from twenty-one to eighteen
years. At the present time bows sent
to that corrective institution must re-
main under its jurisdiction until thew
attain the age of twenty.one. It is
claimed that this is unfair to the bows
An incident of the unfairness is shown
by the fact that boy Of ten wears Of
age was sent to the institution after
he pleaded guilty to stealing PLANK
to make spring board at a swimming
hole. For this terrible crime this
boy is forced to serve eleven years.
This is longer sentence than would
be given to the most hardened criminal
for deliberate case of grand larceny.
1T is said that the officials of the in
stitution are not only in favor of
terminating service of the bows at the
age Of eighteen years, but that they
are also in favor Of much more liber-
al construction of the parole laws.

One of the things that will immedi-
ately follow the addition of the large
territory just annexed to the city will
be increases in the police and fire de-
Ipartments. For the size of the forces
employed these two departments were
covering more territory before the an
Inexation than they are asked to cover
IN any other city in the state and it
lis, simply impossible to. give adequate
police and fire protection to the en-
!larged city without increases in the
forces of the two departments.

that money paid into the city treasury
for the vacation of street ends in the
ward should be expended in the ward,
on the ground that no representations
to that effect had been made to the
people of the ward when the matter
was being adjusted. If this claim of
the fourth wasders had gone through
there would undoubtedly have been
