be was up and about the farm and as
sisted the other men with the morning
chores. When he came to the house for
breakfast he complained of feeling
weak and he lay down on the bed. He
died few minutes later. Death was
the result of paralysis of the heart.
The deceased had resided in Kenosha
county for many years. He was born
in Wales, April 1, 1847. He was a
stone mason by trade and he came to
Kenosha in 1860 and had since made
his home in the county. He had never
married but for years had made his
home with his brother.

LAW CAN'T BE ENFORCED.
Measure Forbidding Boys Under Is to
Hunt Has No Penalty.


Because of inability to enforce the
law enacted by the 1915 legislature
which provides that boys under Is years
of age cannot hunt, the conservation
commission has appealed to Attorney
General Owen. The commission con
tends that the law cannot be enforced
because there is no penalty attached.
Mr.. Owen points out that this would
be up to the legislature to remedy, but
suggests that violators of the law could
be sent to the Industrial Home for
Boys.
The number of hunting licenses issued
in Wisconsin so far this year is about
ten per cent less than for the similar
period last year. In Milwaukee county
,424 licenses were issued in August,
and / ,463 in September, against 1868
in August and $3.50 in September of
1914. The deduction in the number of
licenses is attributed tn unfavorable
hunting weather and increasing restric-
tions.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD
Men Who Have Capital Are Interested
In Company and Reorganization May
Be Formed to Operate Plant Under
Present Ownership.

Stockholders of the National Fly
Paper and they number many well
known people of Kenosha, met at the
knights of Columbus hall on Thursday
evening to make some decision on the
future of that company The discus
sion was largely informal and no final
decision was reached in the matter, but
it is said that there is a strong
probability that the plant and all
other assets of the company will be
sold and that the purchasers of it plan
to operate it and make of it one of the
real interesting, if not one of the real
big industries of Kenosha.
The affairs of the company have
been in state of unrest for some
time. Lack of capital which would
make possible competition with some of
the big concerns in the same line of
business has caused the company to
be dormant for several years, but the
meeting of the stockholders on Thurs
day night, while not representative Of
majority of the voting stock, was
enthusiastic and it is probable that
some plan will be worked out to put
the company on new basis or trans
fer it to another company. The ques-
tions which came up for discussion
before the stockholders on Thursday
night included:
Choosing a committee or committees
stockholders and creditors of the com
pany. A
To arrange an adjustment with all
the creditors of the company for the
payment of their claims.
For the purpose Of considering a
proposal to sell the plant, assets and
property of the company for cash.

MUST WORK OUT OWN PLANS
More Rigid Enforcement of the Law
May Be Worked Out Later In Con-
nection With Nation Wide Plan to
Better Conditions of Lake Men.

Secretary of Commerce Redfeld to-
day made public the following letter
relative to the enforcement of the Sea-
mems Law upon the Great Lakes:
To collectors of customs on the Great
Lakes and others concerned:
Your attention is asked to the follow
ing letter which / addressed to the Su-
pervising Inspecting General of the
Steamboat Inspection Service on Sep
TENDER 81, 1915:
Ny attention is called to the fact
that the requirements Of the Seamen s
Law upon the Great Lakes take effect
but tWentysix days before the closing
of navigation upon these waters, and
that upon the one hand there may be
cases i'll which it will be improbable to
make the necessary changes upon the
vessels to provide accommodations
which will be necessary under the new
law while they are continuously in ac-
tive service during the present fall, and
upon the other hand that the continued
and incessant use of all available yes
sells will be necessary as late in the
season as possible in order to transport
the enormous crops of the northwest
for the prompt movement of which the
rail facilities of the country may for a
time be insufficient
The problem which your force Of in
spectors must face during November
will be that of enforcing the law with
out, upon the one hand, suspending the
traffic or, upon the other, permitting
themselves to be blinded by the tenn
porting methods of any who may wish
to save present expense in the possible
thought that changes in the law may
be secured during the coming winter.
Both Of these extremes are to be care
fully avoided.
The question may in part resolve
itself into one Of good faith. The yes
sci owners have had ample notice and
are obligated to do all possible to be
ready to meet the law when it takes
effect. Your inspectors should there
fore look to all to obey the law and,
in cases where that obedience may not
be complete, will report the facts which
will be considered by the department on
the particular merits of each case The
failure on the part Of vessel owner
to take every practicable step toward
the preparedness for complying with
the law will not be considered an excuse
for the lack of such compliance. Those,
however, who in good faith do the ut
most practicable to be ready and who,
when the law takes effect, are striving
to comply with it will be given the CON
sideration that the facts may warrant
when considering penalties for noncom-
pliance.
(signed) William G. Redfeld
Secretary.

MUST ENFORCE THE LAW.
President of Board of Education Asks
Police to Guard the Scaool Houses.

w. j. Threinen, president Of the
board Of education, has made formal
demand upon the police department of
the city for the enforcement of the law
regulating the speed of automobiles in
the school districts Of the city. These
districts have all been properly mark
ed. In his letter to the department,
President Threinen says:
CAT a recent meeting of the COM
mon council, the board Of education
was given permission to erect road
speed signs to protect the children of
the schools. The speed maniacs' do
not seem to heed the signs, and the
school board requests the police de-
partment to see that the law in regard
to speeding past school houses is
enforced. y
Acting Chief Feldschau at once no
titled all officers to make arrests of
any people violating the provisions Of
the law

DR.. HARBERT ABANDoNs PLAN
Upon Protest of Associated Charities
Gives Up THANKSGIVING Work.

DR.. Helen Harbert has abandoned her
plan to gather Thanksgiving dinners
through the school children and dis
tribute them to Kenosha' s poor, until
q future time when the contributions
are more urgently needed.
She gives up the idea because of pro-
test on the part of the board of con
troll of the Associated Charities and
other officials doing charitable work
The protest was based upon the facts
that the number of families needing
that kind of aid will not be as great
this season as IN some preceding sea
sons; that the teachers will have extra
burdens placed upon them by the de-
tails which they would necessarily have
to carry out and that often the exces.
sive giving at one time of the year
makes it difficult for help to be found
later for INDECENT families.
Certain gifts Of clothing, specifically
needed by certain families, the doctor
will distribute as originally intended.

.B|GRANGE IN KENOSHAINCOMES
Tax Is Assessed on Amounts Ranging
From Six Cents to Over S87, 900 and
the Total Tax to Be Collected Is
More Than in 1914.

Incomes of Kenosha people subject to
taxation range from six cents to $751;
l976.50 this year. This is shown by the
annual individual income tax roll which
was filed in the office of County Clerk
Russell Fl. Jones this morning and
which is now open for inspection of
the curious minded people who want to
know just how much John Smith or
Joe Jones makes or wants to go further
and find how successful the aforesaid
Smith and Jones have been in evading
| the Income Tax assessor and the State
Tax Commission.
| The total of the individual income
taxes to be paid in the city of Kenosha
this year is a little larger than it was
last year. The total is $40,254.63 as COM
pared with $3S,04275 in 1914 and $780,
23l.99 in 1913. The corporation income
tax roll is still in the hands Of the state
tax commission but it is expected that
it will be certified to the county clerk
within the next few days. While the
record of the income taxes is public the
officials are discolraging the printing
of the total taxes assessed against in
dividuals as it is declared that it gives
too much publicity to the private bust
ness of people. In lieu of publishing
the roll it is left on file at the office OF
the county clerk. 1t is mostly interest
ing to insurance agents who find in it
an excellent guide to the men and wo-
men in Kenosha who should be able to
buy insurance.
Looking over the roll is interesting
for it shows lot of unusual things.
There are lot of men who have been
rated as prominent in the business
and social life of the city whose names
are not listed in the long roll. There
are lot of others listed but the amount
| put opposite their names would be a
/ great surprise to the people who meet
! them daily. There are lot of men in
| Kenosha making big salaries and the
tax roll shows some thirty in the city
who have incomes to be taxed at more
than twenty thousand dollars year.
The report of the income assessor will
not bring a great deal of comfort to
the members of the finance committee
of the common council as the individual
income tax will add little to the tax
roll next January The city is entitled
to seventy per cent of the amount col
| lected but before the income taxes are
paid the individuals will have the
chance to deduct the total amount paid
for personal properly tax. 1t IS ex-
pected that the city will get about
| $4,000 net from individual income
taxes. The corporation income roll will
probably add some $4,000 TO the in
come tax total but much of this will
be properly deducted after the payment
of personal property taxes of the big
corporations in the city.

Very Favorable Reports Here.

A committee of FIVE citizens, of
Cleveland, Tenn, accompanied by E.
E. Bawsel, w. X. Boardman and Gray
Gentry, high officials of the Cumber-
land Telephone Co., spent this morn
ing in the city investigating the new
service of the company here with a

H. M. Linn, the owner and publisher
of the Cleveland Journal and Banner;
Charles Harl, president of the Mer-
chants Bank Of Cleveland; George
Hahn, leading grocer, and Lee Nc
Doris, clothing merchant.
The citizens of Cleveland are dis
pleased with the service that they
have been receiving. The telephone
company has made them an offer to
put in the common battery system
and give them much improved service
if the citizens will agree to an in
crease in rates to the price that is
charged here and at Murfreesboro.
The city council appointed the COM
mittee of Ave to go to these towns,
secure written statements from the
users of the phone service, and bring
back written report Of their find
ings.
The gentlemen not only interview
ed the principal business men of Co
lumbia, but they were also carried
through the new telephone building,
which made their eyes glisten and
their lips smack To say that they
were delighted with it is but putting
it mildly.
The party made the trip by auto
mobile from Murfreesboro, arriving
here Tuesday night The East Ten
nesseans we're highly pleased with
the country between here and the
Rutherford county seat, and were loud
in their praise of Columbia and its

tlemen left for Nashville shortly be-
fore noon, where they will confer
with the heads of the telephone COM
