Federal Officials Headed for
Kenosha to See That Reve-
nue. Has Been Collected.
MUST HAVE STAMPS ON HAND

Saloonkeepers and others in the city,
who have been forced to purchase
llrevenue stamps and place them on
their goods have been tipped off, ac-
! cording to information received here
today, that within the present week
or the first Of next at the latest, in
| spectors for the federal government
will be through the city on tour of
inspection to see whether or not the
law is being lived up to by the local
/ merchants.
1t is not known where this informa-
ton came from, but it is declared to
| have been authentic and on hearing it
some Of those who have failed to date
to get their stamps hurriedly prepar-
ed to do so.
That there will be little trouble here
is thought by many who have been
watching the local situation. 1t is
averred that all of the local saloons
have secured their stamps and have
their goods properly tagged with the
/ stickers.
1t is thought that the government
will pay more attention to this class
Of stamps than to the others as in
several cities in the southern part of
| the state some saloons were discovered
where no stamps had been used at all.
In each Of these cases the men were
warned and permitted to got out and
secure the necessary stamps and affix
them to their goods. However, they
were told that if, ON the return of the
inspectors they were to be founl, with
out them they would be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law.
However, it is known that other
places besides saloons come under the
eye of the inspectors. Drug stores
and other places where stamps are
necessary are checked up and if any
violators are found they will be
handled in the same manner as the
saloonkeepers.
A man connected in close way
with the activities of the government
expressed surprise this morning when
he was informed that the fact the in
spectors were coming was generally
known among the business men in the
city.
II do not understand how this in
formation could have gotten out,'' he
said. II personally know nothing of
it, so cannot say one way or the other
whether the reports are true or not.
However, It would seem to me that if
the inspectors are coming they would
not have their visit heralded before
they arrive in the city. So far as I
know there is no reason to suppose that
there will be any violators found
here. -

HOLD DOCTOR WAS BLAMEL ESs
Jury After Long Consideration Declares
That Death of MRS. Nellie Pagh Was
Due to the Carelessness of Driver of
a Wagon of the U. S. Express Co.

The jury in the circuit court which
heard the evidence in the suit of DR..
George A. Pugh against the United
States Express Company, brought in a
verdict Friday morning awarding DR..
Pugh damages to the amount of 5000
against the company. The monetary
damages awarded in the case were not
near as valuable to DR.. Pugh as the
decision Of twelve men who had heard
all the evidence in the case and after
hearing it had found that he was guilt
less of contributory negligence in the
accident on August 81, 1912, which
had resulted in the death of his wife,
Mrs. Nellie Pugh. The verdict of the
jury was especially plain in removing
any sign of blame from the doctor who
was the plaintiff in the action.
The verdict of the jury was a
special verdict made up of many
questions, but the jurors answered all
Of the questions in manner to make
possible the collections of the damages
from the company. The jury held that
the driver of the delivery wagon of the
company had been. at fault in running
his wagon across the street without
carefully noting the approaching auto
mobile, that this error on the part OF
the driver had been the cause of the
accident which resulted in the death Of
Mrs. Pugh. The jury held that the au-
tomobile in which DR.. and Mrs. Pugh
were riding at the time of the accident
was not running at rate of speed to
exceed fifteen miles and that DR.. Pugh
had reduced the speed of the automo-
bile at the corner Of Pleasant and
Elizabeth streets just before the COLI
sion which resulted in the instant death
Of Mrs. Pugh occurred. It held further
that DR.. Pngh had shown no lack of
ordinary care in the operation Of the
automobile. In his complaint against
the company DR.. Pugh had asked for
damages to the amount of $4,000.
The attorneys representing the defen-
dant company had made strong eff
fort to show contributory negligence.
The attorneys for the defendant
company have served notice that mo-
tion for new trial will be made and
it is pretty certain that the case will
find its way to the supreme court. Tt
is declared that the case presents many
interesting legal questions which must
be passed on by the higher court.
Attorneys for DR.. Pugh seem to be
convinced that the verdict of the jury,
which passed on the facts in the case.
is so clear that the supreme court will
not be willing to set aside this verdict
on a technical question.

JEALOUS OF HIS HoNoRs.
Mike Kleist Insists He is the Only Real
Deputy Game Warden in the County.

Writing from Milwaukee, Mike
Kleist, the only dyed in the wool
deputy game warden of Kenosha
county, demands correction from the
Evening News. He insists that the
News was in error when it was stated
that Emil Fox, a Kenosha man, once
worked as an assistant deputy game
warden. Kleist declares that when
Fox aided him by reporting violations
OF the game laws he was working as a
deputy sheriff and not under any com.
mission from the state game warden.
The facts as stated by Mr.. Kleist are
entirely correct, but under the Wis
consin laws Fox was given the title
of deputy game warden when he was
known as a deputy sheriff. Kleist is
the only real properly state appointed
game warden in the county--yet.

GOES TO MADISON.
G.. Balcom Takes Position as Gallery
Clerk at Session of Legislature.

Kenosha is going to have at least
one representative employed in Madi-
son during the sessions Of the Wiscon-
sin legislature, as Thursday afternoon
Glenn Balloon received telegram
from Madison directing him to report
for service as a clerk in the gallery
Of the assembly. He left for Madison
at once. The position is one of the
best in the gift of the civil service
commission. 1t pays a salary of ninety
dollars a month during the continu-
ance of the legislative sessions and
Clerk Balloon will have an excellent
chance to study law making in Wis
consin on the ground floor. Tt is not
probable that there will be any other
legislative appointments from this
county as there is an unusually large
number of applications for places this
year and the officials are making an
effort to divide positions as far as pos
sible among the various counties Two
other Kenosha boys, who sought places
in the Legislature bureau, passed the
civil service examinations and they
may be called for service later.

order for the elevation of the North
Western railway tracks in Kenosha
should rot be promulgated within the
next thirty days. We have been at
work on the order and it is now being
put into shape for sending to the city
and the railway company" This was
the statement made by Railroad Com
missioner Harlow, who was in Kenosha
on a social mission on Wednesday
evening. Commissioners Harlow volun-
teered the further information that he
believed that the order of the commits
sion would be. pretty satisfactory to all
people concerned in the matter. Com
missioner Harlow has given a lot of
time to the problem Of elevation in
Kenosha and he is anxious to get the
matter fully closed up before the end
of his term on the first day of Feb
ruary. The order under the agreement
between the city officials and the rail
way company will provide that the
work of elevating tracks through Ke-
nosha be completed within seven years.
Under this provision it will be neces-
sary for the company to start the work
of elevating just as soon as the order
has been accepted.

PROUD OF THEIR WORK.
High School Boys Show Pride in Gavels
Made for Board of Education Chief.

A very interesting incident of the
school board meeting on Tuesday even
ing was the presentation to Mr.. Tanck,
president of the boar,7, of a block and
gavel, by Horace Boardman of the
sophomore class of the Kenesha high
school.
In his presentation speech, the young
man tola of the general plan of pro-
cedure, followed by Mr.. Kim, the di-
rector of manual training. All the boys
In the class were asked to hand in
drawings of the gavel, so that the
project was open to competition, and
was made class exercise of value.
Next came the problem of finding
suitable wood. The search left the inn
preston that fine black walnut is not
easily procured today. Bu5 finally, DR..
Rowell came to the rescue and furnish
ed supply of material of rare quality.
The boy. had black walnut for their
gavels and for the block beautiful
piece of bird 's-eye maple.
Then came the making of the gavels
according to the different drawings, and
the selection of the best in design and
workmanship, the honor falling &c
Horace Boardman, the speaker. In
well chosen language, he thanked the
school board for the opportunities af
fordet the boys for developing then
skill in the manual training shop, and
said That this gift from the class to
the president was only slight testi-
monial of their feeling of appreciation
President Tanck replied in a few
words complimenting the young man
upon the beauty of the gave and block
before him. He said that thus far in
his experience as president of the board
OF education, all the meetings had pass
ed off with such smoothness and har
mony that his knuckles ad been en-
tirely adequate as an instrument fol-
calling to order.
The board manifested their apprecia.
ton Of the pleasing incident of enthu.
siastic hand-clapping as The boy anc
his accompanying delegation of class
mates from the high school retired from
the meeting. Later the members of the
board examined other gavels that haG

WILL MAKE OLD ENGLISH SAUCE
Company Seeking Factory With Not
Less Than 10000 #. of Floor Space
and is Not Looking For Some One to
Give it Something For Nothing.

Kenosha may be able to secure the
location OF a great plant for the man
ufacture of food products. The
Guntrath Lorenzen & Co., of Chicago.
one of the largest manufacturers an6
importers of food products in the
country, is looking for a location fol
a big plant. The company has been
featured in the past as the distributors
of the liking Edward" Worcestershire
sauce and it is just possible that Ke-
point of the old time product and that
a factory in Kenosha will turn out
the product which has for generations
been manufactured in England.
The Lorenzen company has been i'm
porting lot of food products for
years and has built up great market
for these products and with the coming
of the continued war the company has
been all but forced out Of business on
account Of the impossibi1ity Of secur-
ing the products which have been ear
ried as staple lines for so many years.
American people still clamor for Eng,
lish sauce for their meats and the Chi.
cago company is being forced to find
way to give them to them. With
this end in view the Chicago company
is planning to build a big manufacture
ing establishment where these food
produces may be made. They plan to
make them under the same conditions
and from the same materials from
which they have been made for cent
uries in England but blown in the bot
tie will be the label Made in the u,
s. A." 1t is just possible that along
with it will be the inscription "Made
in Kenosha. "
F. G. Lorenzen, one of the managers
of the company, is now advertising. for
the purchase of a factory iii Kenosha.
He wants a building with at least
10000 feet of floor space. Such build
ing is not available in Kenosha at this
time, but it is not improbable that
within short time there will be
factory building on the market in Ke-
nosha which might meet the demands
of the Chicago company. The com
pany is one with a high rating. It is
not advertising for any bonus or free
gift, but the manager, who is Carrying
an advertisement in the 4" News" is
seeking to get into communication
with some one who has a factory
I,buildin0 for sale.
It is probable that the Kenosha In
dustrial Association will look into the
matter and seek to aid Mr.. Lorenzen
in his quest to get location in Ke-
nosha. This city is so well located to
take care of the big central trade that
it is declared to be an ideal location
for the company.

JOINS WITH LINCOLN SYSTEM
Twelve Lectures and Twelve Concerts
to be Given in Big Tent in Kenosha
During Coming Summer Best of
Talent to be Secured for Chautauqua.

Kenosha is going to have a summer
evening citizens committee which
had interested itself in this matter met
at the Office of the superintendent of
schools and closed contract with the
Rev. W. L. Ferris of Wheaton, Ill.,, for
a Chautauqua extending over six days,
to be given by the National Lincoln
Chailtauqua association. The dates for
the proposed series Of entertainments
have not been announced, but it IS to
be held some time between the middle
of July and the middle Of August Of
this year.
The Lincoln Chautauquas are famous
throughout the country and in the year
1915 this association will put a similar
series of entertainments in $40 cities
of the United States. The company
has long list of the best talent to be
secured in the country and it is declar-
ed that the, entertainments to be pre-
sented will be high grade in every re-
spect. These entertainments and leg
lures will be given in a LARGE tent IN
Kenosha, the location Of the tent to be
decided Lpon later.
A month before the opening Of the
entertainments the company will send
expert advertising agents to Kenosha
and an effort will be r1ade to interest
people in all the surrounding towns n
the Chautauqua.
The course to be given in Kenosha
will consist of twelve lectures and
twelve entertainments. At each session
there will be a lecture extending over
an hour and an entertainment Of equal
length. Many of the best known con-
cert and entertainment companies in
the country will be seen In Kenosha
during the course and the lectures have
been selected with especial view Of
finding men who will present subjects
Of general interest to the people of Ke-
nosha. Course tickets for adults will
be sold at $3.50 and course tickets for
the children at $1.00.
The citizens committee signed a for
NAL contract for the entertainments and
the detailed plan will be announced
later.
Mr.. Ferris today is taking the mat
ter up with the business men of the city
and he feels certain that the citizens
committee will have the hearty support
of these men in the enterprise
For years many people in Kenosha
have sought summer Chautauqua.
Many have gone to Racine to attend
the entertainments given by the Racine
Chautauqua. It is certain that these
people will rally to the support of the
new movement in Kenosha It has been
decided that any money which may be
made as a result of the sale of tickets
for the Chautauqua will be turned over
to the fund for the advancement Of
play grounds for the children of Ke-
nosha. In many cities the Chautauqua
have raised large sums of moneys.

GET A CLEAN BILL.
County Oficials Commended on Audit
of the County Books.

Kenosha county officials are given a
clean bill in the annual report OF the
auditor, Charles H. Winke, which was
presented to the county board at its
session this morning. In fact the re-
port Of the auditor indicates that the
records of Kenosha county are now in
better condition than ever before. A
year ago when the audit was made Mr..
Winke took more than six typewriter
pages to tell just what was wrong with
the department of highways and its
records. This years audit has only
fourteen lines given to the highway
department and it is declared that
everything in the department was
found to be in excellent condition.
No suggestion of changes in book
keeping methods are made and the au-
dit from start to finish is clean bill
for the officials.
Mr.. Winke in one paragraph calls
attention to some of the bills of Of
fcials and holds that these might be
reduced little, but there is no sugges-
ton Of incompetency or crookedness.
The audit contains a full report of all
the transactions of the county for the
year just closed and shows in detail the
expenditure of every cent of money
collected by the county taxes and as
fees from the various officials. The
audit is so free from errors that it is
expected that it will be disposed of at
a single session of the board.

Victim of Jokers Waits Two and a
Half Hours for Snipes to be Driven in.

That Anticipated gag of hunting
snipes is being pulled in Kenosha again
and Wednesday night and this morn
ing a victim Of bunch Of practical
jokers stood holding a bag on lone
ly road to the south of the city for
more than two hours while the other
members of the hunting party were

ground selected was along the road
east of the golf links and the leaders
of the party had set blazing light

remained until cold weather forced him
to give up the task. The other mem
bers of the party were found shooting
snipes in down town saloon. It is
claimed that this is the second snipe
hunt pulled off in Kenosha in the
present month and that when the last
victim was taken out he waited for
