Kenesta Pcop'e Cautioned
to be OH Lookout for a
Smooth Magazine Worker
POLICE ASK FOR INFORMATION

If a young man of the following de-
scription comes to your frtnt door AMI
offers yon an enticing proposition in
the taking Of subscription to a mag
azine, invite him into the house, and
then excusing yourself for moment
back into another room and telephone
for the police.
Twenty years old, feet and inches
tall, 145 pounds in weight, light brown
hair, clean shaver, and rather good
looking.
Roy West is the name he is known
by to the police who have been looking
for him for some time past. He is de-
clared to be one Of the best subscrip-
ton takers in the country and is re-
ported to have cleaned up several
hundred dollars in cities along the
north shore within the past few weeks.
The Kenosha police have been noti-
fed of the mans nearness to the city
and for the past two days they have
been on the lookout for him. The In
ternational Magazine company offer a
reward Of $25 for his arrest and con
viction. West represents himself as
being representative from their of
fee and in so doing has swindIed
hundreds of people.
Chief O'Hare declares that the people
can aid the department materially by
using care in the way they transact
business with strange agents and by
calling the attention of the depart
ment to the fact that an agent is in
the city whenever one is seen.

PAY STATE TAXES.
All Towns and City Have Made Settle
ment With County Treasurer.

The fact that tax claims have been
met promptly this year is shown in that
all Of ohe towns Of the county and the
city have paid the state and county
taxes to the county treasurer and Treas
ur3 Harm: is planning to make his
settlement with the state treasurer on
Satarda. of this week. The check to
the state from this county will be the
largess tax check sent in years, the to-
tai reaching $133, $685. This includes
all claims of the state against the
county. In addition 70 the regular state
tax and the highway tax the county is
paying to the state large claims for the
support of the various institutions for
the care of insane, feeble minded and
the criminal class. Notwithstanding
the big drain made on the city by the
payment of state and county taxes
there is still a good balance in the
treasury.

two precincts was less than fifty. The
fourth ward with large foreign vote
showed only a little over a hundred
votes against the commission form.
Foreigners who voted had been pretty
well lined up against the commission
form as the DOGGY Of monarchial'
government had been held before them
since the days that the petitions ask
ing for the election were filed. These
people were given to understand that
commission form meant a return to a
form of government such as they had
left behind them in the old countries
of Europe and this was sufficient to
unite them against the movement.
The plans of the friends of the com
mission form have not been in any
way thrown down by TIE result of the
election on Tuesday and already plans
are being laid for an organization of
men in favor of the change and this or
ganization will begin an educational
campaign at once with view Of re-
submitting the question to the people
at an early date. These men feel that
an excellent start has been made and
that at the next submission of the
question the people will be more ready
to welcome it,
The campaign has meant a lot for
municipal advancement in Kenosha.
Many men who only regarded the gov
eminent of the city as a necessary evil
have come to take new view and
these men are beginning to see that
the proper management Of civic affairs
may be made a great good.

.FAv0Rs USE OF CONVICT LABOR
Shows Audience of Kenosha Men How
System Has Worked in Illinois and
Colorado and Urges Wisconsin to Fol
low suit-Talks to Auto Cl,sb Also,

Kenosha people who are interested
in the proper solution of the big prob
lem of securing more and better high
ways had chance to get new ideas
from a man from another state on
Tuesday evening When William e..
Edens of Chicago, president of the
Illinois Highway Improvement Assoc
citation, spoke before the Men s Club
Of ST. Matthews church. Mr.. Edens
gave a decidedly thoughtful address
on roads and road making, spoke
sttongly for state aid and for the use
Of the convict labor in building state
roads.
He gave many interesting incidents
which he had picked up in the investi-
CATION of the road work in other states
which showed the value of the big
movement for better roads He told Of
the success of state aid in building
roads in Colorado and Illinois and
emphasized the plan for the use of the
prisoners of the state prison in road
building. He advocated the employ
ment of these men under the honor
system aud commended that this not
only made men of the prisoners but
it made good roads for the state. lle
spoke of the long experiments that the
state of Colorado had made in build
ing roads with convict labor and de-
clared that under the honor system
there fifty per cent of the prisoners
had been worked on the roads and that
but one per cent of that number had
ever sought to escape. Good engineers
he declared were one Of the real
necessities of good roads and the EN-.
ployment of men who know how to
build roads was the first and real solu-
ton of the good roads problem.
The meeting was attended by many
of the members of the Kenosha Auto
mobile Club and by majority Of the
members of the Kenosha Comfy Board,
a lumber of the members sanipg from
the rural districts of the county to
be present at the meeting.
After the meeting was over Mr..
Edens was the guest of the automobile
club at an informal session at the Elks
club and he gave to the individuals of
the club many helpful suggestions in
regard to plans to be followed to make
the road movement more popular with
the people at large. He urged that
that the people give their fullest CO.
operation to the great movements for
securing better highways and insisted
that this cooperation was the great
est aid possible in securing intelligent
work and lasting improvement Of the
highways.
The meeting was one Of the most
successful held by the club this season.

Crane Farm Near Uaion Grove Is Said
to Have Been Purchased by State rs
Site For 100000 Institution Which
Will be Built at Once.

Kenosha county is going to have q
G. eat state institution OIL its very Dor
ders as the state board of control at
Madison on Tuesday afternoon voted 20
locate the new state home for the
feeble minded, which is to be built by
the state at cost of 100000 on the
Crane farm four miles west of the vii
lage of Union Grove.
The site picked was that inspected
by the state board some time ago, the
old Crane Farm and all the adjoining
land in that section. The tract Of land
lis about four miles west of Union
Grove, oetween that place and Kan
sasville. The land will average about
500 per acre for the $40 acres, which
I is : medium price for land in Racine
county. The place is said to he ideal
for home such as thai contemplated,
for there is plenty of room for expan-
sion and the price for the land not
exorbitant,
Wate1tcwn was the chief competitor
of Racine county for The home, and
made a strong plea to the state board
However, the work of the Racine com
mittee was energetic and the facilities
offered at WATERFOWL were not as good
as those in Racine county. In addi-
tioI the land and location were not as
good as Raoine's and the price was
higher. The site picked now contains
land which il among RI most prosuc-
tive in the sCate.
The hoare. of control examined the
land very closely, making several
visits to Racine county. That they were
entirely satisfied with it is evident
from the fact that 1t was chosen over
seventeen others offered and that the
deliberation was shor9.
The state legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the initial expenses of the
home ard grounds at the last session
of the legislature, but ultimately the m
stitution will cost much more tban that
amount. The monthly payroll Of an
institution like that contemplated is
about $4,000 month, besides the sun
dry osher running expenses. This will
mean an influx of money in this section,
besides che prestige which goes with
such state building.
Among the concessions obtained from
the railroad company was one that a
spur line would be built around the
buildings upon their completion in or
der to haul the freight, coal and farm
produce, also that every passenger
train passing the Kansasville station
would stop there. A more commodious
station and rest room will be built, ard
"a decided effort will be made to make
the state institution an important place
in regard to railroad facilities. These
promises Of the railroad went a long
way in persuading the board of control.
1t will be possible to get coal to the
state home cheaply.

Kenosha Pianist Gives Not
able Recital at the Rhode
Opera House Tuesday.
RESPONDS TO MANY ENCORES

Miss Dora Heyman played her way
into the hearts OF large audience of
Kenosha people at the Rhode Opera
on Tuesday evening when she appear
ed in recital and it proved to be one
of the most notable musical events of
several seasons in Kenosha. The
charming playing Of this young Ke-
nosha artist and she is real artist,
was greeted with enthusiasm and she
was forced to respond to repeated en-
cores. Her playing was characterized
with every feature of artistic work.
She showed wonderful appreciation
of the best things in music and played
with q technique, unobtrusive, but
wonderful and with a touch seldom
seen in concert work in Kenosha.
Her program was one particularly
adopted to the audience. 1t was Just
popular enough to meet the demands.
Notable among the numbers on the
program was the playing OF the Theme
,nd variations, A Major by Paderew-
ski. There was four Chopin numbers
IN the program and the playing OF
the Et,ide Op. 25, No 2, brought into
play the splendid technique of the ar
fist. Her work along this line was
wonderful and yet it was plain that
the technique was only incidental to
the reproduction of the music Miss
Heyman showed wonderful ability in
the playing of the Twelfth Rapsodie
with which the program was closed
This number was one of the most
pleasing on the whole program and it
was played with a sense of apprecia-
tion unusual in an artist of short ex-
perience on the concert stage.
The impression made by Miss Hey
man was decidedly favorable one.
