Vice Commission of State
Asks Aid of District At
torney in Kenosha.
MAY NOT HAVE HEARING HERE

District Attorney A. i. Drury is in
receipt of communication from the
Wisconsin Vice Commission, resting
him to answer various guess IL as to
the moral conditions in Kenosha county
SO as to aid the commission in deter
mining whether or not it will be neces-
sary to pay visit here.
The information is desired to rein
force statements made by Senator
Howard Teasdale, chairman of the com
mission, who paid a two day visit here.
The only recommendation made by
Senator Teasdale was that an ordinance
governing dance halls should be passed
by the city council.
The commission asks large number
OF questions in its communication, re-
lating to the moral condition of the
community, such as how many girls and
young men were arrested for statutory
charges, the causes of their downfall.
and their occupations and religions.
Some of the questions are:
Cd Are girls and women permitted
to frequent saloons and wine rooms?
(2) Should girls and women be per-
mitted in wine rooms and saloons with
the opposite sex9
81 Does the prevailing sentiment
in Kenosha county uphold the strict
enforcement of the moral laws?
(4) Are saloons open on Sundays
and election days, and are persons
selling liquor to minors punishedg
(5) What, in your opinion, is the
cause of the non-enforcement of laws
on moral questions?
The communication winds up by ask
ing whether the vice commission can be
of any assistance to Kenosha county.

ORGANIZE MARCHING CLUB.
Men of Park Ave Church Plan to At
tend Great Sunday School Meeting.

The executive board Of the Park
Ave. Methodist Men s Bible Class last
night voted to effect the organization
OF a marching club among the men of
the Sunday School for the purpose Of
participating in the big men S parade
during the international convention of
the Sunday School Association to be
held in Chicago, June 1880 This
parade will probably be the largest
Sunday school demonstration ever held
1t is expected that fifty thousand men
will be in line on Friday evening,
June 26. The Park Ave school is TAX
ing hold of this proposition with en-
thusiasm and will undoubtedly send
large delegation Of men as there are
over two hundred men connected with
the school.
This convention will undoubtedly be
the largest and the best Sunday school
gathering ever held. The general in
terest in the Sunday school today is far
in advance Of what it ever was before.
Greater advances have been made in
Sunday school work in the last five
years than in any previous fifty years,
and this convention will be full of
living issues. From present indications
there will be at least $500 delegates
and alternates with full quota from
every state and province in North
America, and, in addition, several
times as many visitors as delegates.
The international Sunday School AS
ISOLATION is INSTRUMENTATION and is
perhaps doing more than any other
agency to promote a practical spirit
of unity and fellowship among the
various Christian bodies The differ
ent Sunday schools of the city will
probably be largely represented at this
convention.

ARRESTS TO FOLLOW ORDERS
People Demand That City Provide a
Place for Dumping Garbage to be
Taken From Back Yards and Alleys
in Connection With Cleaning up Plan

Mayor NJ J. Scholey and City Health
Commissioner John j. McShane, start
ed out this morning on an inspection
of the city with view of forcing the
cleaning up of the plague spots. ("
More than a hundred verbal notices to
clean up have been given out by the
health commissioners and owners of
property where these notices have been
given have been instructed that if the
orders are not complied with arrests
will follow. The mayor and the health
commissioners today gave their atten-
ton to the streets and alleys of the
city and probably tomorrow an inspec-
tion of back yards viii be made. Many
complaints against the unsanitary con-
dition of yards in the city have been
received by the officers and these COM
plants will all be investigated.
The first snag that the officials have
run up against in their effort to secure
the cleaning up of the city is the de-
mand for a public dumping ground A
lot of people who have received no
tees to clean up their premises have
declared to the officials that they are
unable to pay a dollar a month for the
removal of garbage, but they have de-
clared their willingness to comply with
the order if the city provides place
where garbage may be dumped This
matter will be brought TO the notice
of the council at the next regular meet
ing. The members of the council seem
to be firm in their plan not to provide
dumping place to be used by the
regular garbage collectors, but it is
possible that some place viii be pro-
vided for the dumping Of garbage
Chief Isermann is getting into the
cleanup day program and he is sending
out warning demanding greater
care in burning Of rubbish. The de-
partment was called out this morning
on account Of a fire in rubbish and
many other calls are expected unless
the people show great care in handling
the fires.
Mayor Seholey plans to issue a form
citS~oclamatton later in the week de
clar Of next Tuesday Clean Up
Day IN Kenosha.

EARLY RISER TO THE RESCUE
P. G. Torrey Reaches the Building Just
After Six O'Clock and Manages to
Save More Serious Damage Records
Soaked But Not Seriously Damaged
(From Wednesdays Daily


That thousands Of dollars of dam
age was not done to valuable records
at the Kenosha county building by
floods this morning was due to the fact
that Kenosha county has an early riser
in the Office of register Of deeds. P.
c, Torrey, who fills this office, formerly
lived on a farm and while on the farm
he contracted the habit of getting up
with the birds. The birds were a lit
tie late this morning on account of the
overhanging clouds, but at that Mr..
Torrey was up with the first lark and
after he had provided his own break
fast he found nothing else to do but
work and he hurried along down to
the court house. He was the first man
to enter the building and when he got
as far as his own Office his progress
was impeded by stream of water
coming from the vault. He hurriedly
opened the vault and found an inch
and half Of water covering the floor
and the water was pouring through the
time getting to the court room on the
second floor and he found a portion of
this flooded and the water pouring
down through the floors. A broken pipe
in the men s toilet room adjoining the
jury room was causing all the trouble.
The register of deeds lost no time get
tingar<s sdelv Of Il ,sasss ~ eAlrsrs lelGghgfs
and before seven clock all of them
were busy clearing away the rubbish
and sweeping the water out Of the of
fees. The water was shut off in the
basement and the janitor was secured
to aid in the work.
The most damage from the food was
done in the office of the register of
deeds. In the vault in this office are
hundreds of almost priceless records
and a number Of these were already
water soaked when Mr.. Torrey arrived
two hours before the usual time for
the officials to get to work. He man
aged to rescue a lot of the records
from the rising waters and the ones
which had been under the dripping
water were stripped of their covers
and put out to dry. In the office of
Clerk DeDeimar the water had torn off
the decorations of the ceiling, but the
law library at the east end of the Of
fee had not been damaged by the
water. The clerk declared that he had
an inch and half Of water on the
floor of the Office.
1t was lucky thing that Register
of Deeds Torrey arrived so early in
the morning for in another hour the
entire building would have been food
ed and great damage would have
resulted.
II don't think any very serious
damage has been DONE, said Mr.. Tor
rey, "some of the books and records
are a little bit soaked, but | think that
they will dry out and not be perma-
nently injured. The heavy covers on
the books proved great help in saw
ing them from more serious damage. =
County Agent Jones is busy investi-
eating the cause of the flood. Plumb
ers were at work at the building on
Tuesday and the water had been turn
ed off for a part of the day and it is
thought possible that the water was
turned on before the work of making
repairs was completed.

Washington, d. c., April 20
The peace ENJOYS of the South Am
erican nations today appealed to
both Mexico and the United States
to agree on an armistice as the next
step to avoid war. The request
was personally present to Secre-
tary of State Bryan and wired to
Dictator Huerta at Mexico City,
There may be hitch in this line
of procedure General Carranza
has so far declined to have any
part in the mediation programmed
that he is anxious to make war
with the United States, but be-
cause he holds that mediation
will put new letters on him in his
fight against Huerta in Mexico.
Reports from many Mexican
coast cities announce the arrival
of refugees from the city of Mex
leo, most of whom are Americans.

request of Commander Tweedie of
a British cruiser Huerta has agreed
to allow Americans to depart from
Mexico, but he has declined to fur
nish an escort to insure them safe
travelling to Vera Cruz.
Rumors from various Mexican
cities tell of citizens of the United
States being taken prisoners and
assaulted, but most of these reports
lack confirmation.
Admiral Fletcher has formally
notified the navy department of
the establishment of civil gov
eminent at Vera Cruz with Robert
T. Kerr, a Chicago lawyer, as gov
ernor.
The army and navy continued
with plans to meet any eventuali-
ties, but interest in their move
ments was overshadowed by that
evinced in the work OF the repre-
sentatives of the South American
republics. The three peacemakers,
proceeding cautiously, are gather
ing all possible information from
both American and Mexican
sources, with the object of reach
ing middle ground from which they
may project their next move.
Realizing that practically all the
civilized nations Of the world are
watching the progress of the at
tempt at pan-American diplomacy,
they are careful to distinguish be-
tqsae..x sf good
Offices and what ma az alop lat
er, IT the stage of actual mediation
is reached.
It has been suggested that the en-
voys' next move might be to ask
the Huerta and the Washington
governments to set out terms On
which they would proceed to media
ton If the line is followed it was
suggested the diplomats speedily
could develop whether solution of
the situation by peaceful means
were possible.
