festival are already beginning a cam
paign for the great northwestern fes-
tivity that has in view cooperative
movement among all the cities and
towns of in the state and along the Co
lumbia river basin. The following let
ter has been sent out to Commercial
organizations by the committee on out
side cooperation:
The board of governors of the Rose
Festival Association, of which | am
member, has assigned to me the duties
of outside cooperation. by this is
meant cooperation with outside cities
and towns in the state of Oregon and
the Columbia river basin.

of the Oregon Development League
ana MIR. G. c. Chapman, of the Port
land Commercial club. 1t is the inten.
tion of this committee to cooperate

that shall meet with THEN full ap-
proval, and will be genuinely helpful

what we can do for you aud your com
munity during the coming lose festival
that will be beneficial to you aud your
interests. | would like to have your
suggestions as to what we can do dur
ing the rose festival Rrd in our rose
festival plans that will be help and

pleasure If you would communicate
with me as soon as possible, stating
yCur IDEAS so that | may bring il up

people will, all told, view the parades
and rose and flower exhibits and will
be upon the streets of Portland during
the festival, large part of them
strangers, and it appears to us that
the resources of the county divisions,

peal to you. However, this is only
suggestion and we want your sugges-
tions first.
Our desire is to give to Portland ard
to the Oregon cepntry the best possible

AFTER "JoB BROKERS. /"
Police Seek Men Collecting Fees From
Unfortunate Workmen in the City.

District Attorney Drury and the
members of the police department are
making an investigation into the work
of alleged "job brokers" who are prey
ing on the unemployed men Of the city
and it is claimed that certain men in
the city are making considerable money
by taking it from unemployed men I'M
der promises of finding them employ
ment. The "job broker' insists to the
workingman that the money is neces-
sary in order that he may buy drinks
and presents for the .foremen Of the fac
tories in order to get their names on
the pay roll. One man reported to the
police that he had paid '1broker1 So
for his job and that he had not reeeiv-
ed it yet. 1t is probable that arrests
will be made on these charges and that
the cases against the job brokers will
be prosecuted with vigor. There is a
state law which provides prison SEN
tence for men employed in factories
who receive money tc get men jobs and
this law viii be kept working overtime
if the district attorney gets any real
evidence on traficing in jobs in Ke-
nosha.

HEAD OFFICIAL AS SPEAKER
Large Glass of Candidates Will be mi
tiated Into the Ritualistic Work of
the Order at Closing Session Tonight
Many Camps to be Represented.
lFrom Wednesdays Dailxl


Members of the Royal Neighbors of
notable gathering at Odd Fellows hall
on Church street today when nearly
three hundred women, representing the
camps Of the Royal Neighbors in Ra-
cine, Kenosha, Burlington, Union
Grove, Corliss, Kansasyille, Bassetts
Station, Pleasant Prairie, Salem, Som
ers, Bristol and Wilmot came to Keno
sha to attend school of instruction
arranged under the direction of Mrs.
Eva Childs of Hanover, Wis, chairlady
of the board of managers Of the order.
1t was the first school of the kind to
be held in the two counties and it at
tracted to Kenosha the leaders in the
work of the Royal Neighbors in all Of
the towns and cities of the two
counties.
The visiting delegates were given a
most cordial reception by the members
of the Kenosha Camp Of the HNeigh-
bors" and the morning was given over
to the reception of delegates and the
arrangement of the progrom for the
day. Mrs. Childs spoke informally
with the members of the various teams,
outlining the objects of the order and
showing the necessity of the full ritua-
listic work being carried out. The dele
gates came early and at the morning
session of the school more than two
hundred women were present.
1t was a day for hard work and
there were no social features connect
ed with the sessions during the day.
The visiting delegates thronged the ho-
tells and the restaurants at the noon
hour and hurried back to the hall for
the afternoon session at which time
Mrs. Childs took up the exemplifcation
of the work for the instruction of the
members of the order. A lot of mat
ters interesting to the order were taken
up at the session this afternoon.
The convention closes with session
this evening at which a class of fifty
candidates from the twelve camps in
the two counties will be initiated into
the mysteries. of the order under the
direction of Supreme Chairlady Mrs.
Childs. She will be assisted in the
work by the Racine degree team which
is declared to be one Of the best drill
ed teams in the order.
The Royal Neighbors are auxiliary to
the Modern Woodmen and the camps
in the two counties have as their mem
bers many of the best known women in
Southern Wisconsin. The organization
has had great growth in the past few
years and it is declared to have more
members in the two counties than any
of the other insurance organizations
for women.

MIGRANT RENTAL SUFFICIENT
Members of Board of Commissioners
Will at Once Secure Plans and Speci-
fications for New Intake and it is Elk
pected Work Will Start Next May.

The board of water commissioners
met in regular session at the Office of
the city engineer on Tuesday afternoon
and following the formal action of the
council III arranging to pay annual
hydrant rental of ten thousand dollars
the company all plans for the in
crease of rates charged to the patrons
of the company were rescinded. The
state railroad commission has been no
titled of the action of the council and
it is understood that this will bring to
an end all consideration on the part of
the commission regarding the proposed
increase in rates. The water commits
partment to send out bills to flat rate
customers at once and these bills will
be the same as have been charged in
other years. No increase in rates had
ing water by meter and the old rates
will remain in effect.
In considering the question of the
increase in rates for the Kenosha COM
pany the state commission has made a
lot of very interesting statistics in re-
gard to the workings of the Kenosha
Municipal Company and while it is not
| expected that any decision will be
| made on the proposed increase in rates
the commission will file copy of its
report with the members Of the com
mission and the council in order that
both bodies may be advised of just
what the water works is doing.
The first payment of hydrant rental
will be made by the city after the col
lection Of the taxes in 1915. This
$4,000 with the $4,000 that the city
council has borrowed of the water
board will make total of $4,000
which will be available for use in build
ing the new intake for the water com
pany. In addition to this the company
| will have considerable amount of
profit derived from the payment Of
water bills during the present month
and the fund for the intake will be
further swelled by the payment of the
semi-annual rentals in May of next
year. 1t is not expected that the actu-
al work of building the intake will be
started before the middle of May and
at that time all of the plans and speci-
hcations will be ready and the work
will go forward. The members of the
commission hope to have at least
100000 on hand at that time as a
nucleus for the fund
1t will probably be necessary to is
sue mortgage certificates to the amount
of close to 100000 and the $4,000
annual hydrant rental will be pledged
for the payment of these certificates.
It is probable that the bonds will be
made to extend over period of from
fifteen to twenty years and with this
period the amount contributed by the
city in the form of rentals will be suf-
ficient to meet the principal and inter
est as it falls due. The members of
the water board do not seek to put into
the general fund of the company any
of the amount received from the city
as hydrant rental.

GET INSANE MAN IN CHURCH.
Man Known Only as Stanley Found
Praying at Polish Church Last Night.

A Polish boy known only as "Stan-
ley" is detained at The Kenosha
county Jail pending an investigation
into his mental condition. He. was
picked up at the Polish church just af-
ter ten o'clock Tuesday night and he
appears to be suffering from a reigi-
Gus mania. Efforts to find the identity
of the young man were futile. The
Rev. F. R. Czerwinski, pastor of the
church took great interest in the case
and he spent more than an hour at the
jail this morning making an effort to
discover the name of the young man.
All he could discover was that his first
name was Stanley The young man
is supposed to have gone into the
church some time during Tuesday af-
ternoon and late in the evening Father
Czerwinski heard some one moaning in
the church. He called the police and
they found the young man evidently
engaged in prayer. AS soon as his
identity is established formal petit
ton viii be fled with the county Judge
asking for an examination into his
mental condition.

Meeting of Refrigerator Co.
Creditors Adjourned Until
Last Day of the Month.
WILL PERMIT REORGANIZATION

The meeting of the creditors of the
United Refrigerator Company which
was scheduled to be held in the United
States court on Tuesday, was adjourn
ed on the request of the receivers nam
ed by the court and it is expected that
the adjourned meeting will be held in
Milwaukee on the morning of Novem-
Der 30th. In the meantime the credi-
tors committee and the committee
composed of the stockholders of the

fort to secure reorganization of

President Peter B. Nelson has sent
personal letter to every one of the
stockholders urging that they CO.
operate in the effort that is being made
20 put the company on firm financial
basis and it is declared by members of
the stockholders committee that there
has already been a generous response
from stockholders in subscriptions for
the proposed preferred stock to be is
sued by the company. The receivers
recently named by the court have not
sought to interfere in any way with
the work of these two committees and
the receivers have notified the court
that they are ready to turn the plant
over just as soon as the company can
be re-organized and assurance given
that the creditors will be paid in keep
ing with the suggested settlements
The plant is now prac tically shut down
but there is a corps of men at work
in the field installing products of the
company. This force will be kept al
work pending the settlement of the big
question of the future of the plant.
1t is declared that many of the ere,
ditors and even some of the ones who
filed the petition in bankruptcy are
willing and ready to accept a com
promise of their claims If assurance is
given that the amount agreed on in the
compromise viii be paid at time speci.
fed, Local stockholders of the com
pany are taking up the matter as one
of local pride and these men believe
that they will be able to raise money

United States court on November 30th

Politicians Cheek ever All
Amdavits on Which Votes
Were Cast at Election.
TINE FOR RECOUNT IS OVER

For the past ter days men employed
by political partiSA have been busy
checking over the ce cast in Kenosha
county al the last general election held
two weeks ago today and while the re-
port Of these men shows lot of inter
esting things there will be no recount
of the ballots demanded and there will
port of the checkers shows that botF'
parties were guilty of irregularities
in the casting of the vote, but there
is nothing in these Irregularities TO
warrant the belief that there would pc
any change in the outcome of the
election by recount. The time has
expired for demanding a recount of the
ballots and the only way that the re-
suit could be changed or reviewed
would be by contest of the election in
the courts and it is regarded as GER
tain that no such contest will be
started.
Affidavit voting was very much IN
vogue at the election two weeks ago
and the report of the checkers shows
that more than Geven hundred voters
cast their ballots without registration.
In many cases the law against signing
more than i've of the afidavits was
violated but it was violated by mem
bers of both parties. Afidavits were
found which had been signed by men
whose names do not appear anywhere
in the tax and if they are free
holders they have been able to prevent
this fact becoming known to the as
SCISSORS Of the city. Some of the aft
davits were found to have been signed
by but one property owner, but it APP
pears that the man who depended on
them to get vote in was successful.
The list of the afidavits and the
freeholders who signed them has been
prepared with great deal Of care and
it is being held by the political work
ers for future action. Of course it
would be possible to bring prosecutions
for perjury against men who signed
these afidavits as freeholders without
having property in the city, but there
is no desire on the part of the politi-
clans to press these matters.
Certificates of election have been is
sued to men shown to have been elected
on the face of the returns and the cleo
ton will soon be forgotten matter.
There is no reason to expect any action
on the part of the state republican
committee so far as Kenosha county IS
concerned as Governor McGovern has
practically conceded his defeat by
Husting and it is not expected that the
recount will be extended beyond the
counties now engaged in the 7ecounting
of the ballots.
