JEFFERY COMPANY BUSY.
Big Demand for Pleasure Cars Keeps
the West Side Plant Humping
to Supply the Demand.

Jeffrey pleasure cars are more in de-
mand this year than ever before and
although it is getting along toward
the fag end of the season the big west
side plant is being operated to its ca
pacity in order to meet the fall demands
for new model Jeffrey ears. Next
spring it is expected that the demand
will be greater than the plant can sup
ply. The rapid increase in the truck
business of the company coupled with
the big demand for the new pleasure
cars has brought unusual prosperity to
the Kenosha automobile factory. Re
ports from agents of the company all
over the country indicate big awaken
ing Of the automobile business and it
is certain that the orders for next year
will be much greater than in any form
er year. Keeping up with the order
book is the hardest task that the super.
intendent of the big factory has.

SAILED MANY VESSELS HERE
Many Interesting Times in Kenosha Are
Recalled by Older Residents in Con-
nection With the Home Coming of
Pioneer Lake Sailor.

Many interesting memories of earl
Ter kenosha were being recalled by
pioneer residents of the city this after
noon in connection with the funeral
Of the late Captain Alonzo P. Read
who died in Chicago Friday morning
and whose remains were brought to
Kenosha this afternoon and laid at
rest in the Holiday plot at Green
Ridge.
Captain Read was for years one of
the most prominent of the men of Ke-
nosha and forty years ago he was one
of the most active men in the life of
the city. He was pioneer among the
vessel men on the lake and during much
of his life he followed the lake as a
master and sailor. He came to Ke-
nosha as young man and shortly after
he came to the city he went ON the
lakes. For forty-fve years he was ON
the lakes in one capacity or another.
At one time he was the owner of a
fleet of five vessels. In the early seven
ties Captain Read was the owner of a
fleet of vessels which sailed from Ke-
nosha as their home port and old timers
today recalled a great storm in which
Captain Read lost three of his vessels.
He was native of New York where
he was born seventy-four years ago.
While in Kenosha Captain Read was
married to Miss Marietta Holiday, a
daughter of William Holiday, the pion-
eer hotel keeper of Kenosha. Captain
and Mrs. Read were much known in
the younger social set in Kenosha in
the late seventies. The Holiday home
was at the corner of Market and Ann
streets at that time and it was known
as one of the centers Of social gayieties
in the city. Captain Read was at one
time the manager of the Kenosha Driv-
ing park and he was an active support
err of sporting events in the city at
that time.
The Read family removed from Ke-
nosh to Chicago little over twenty
years ago and Captain Read largely
extended his business on the lakes.
Fifteen years ago he was sailing a
fleet of five vessels out of Chicago. In
recent years he had lived retired life.
Surviving him are his widow, one
son Louis Fl. Read and one daughter,
Mrs. Grace Read Hyde, all of Chicago.
Many Chicago people came to Ke-
nosha late this afternoon to attend the
simple burial service held at the Gem
etery-

the Clark Realty Co. entered into an
extension with the Citizens Trust Co.,
for five years and agreed to pay $4,000;
that the note and mortgage were sold
to her; that $4,000 has been paid
leaving balance of $1,000; that the
Clark Realty Co. has failed TO pay in
terest on the mortgages and note and
has failed to pay the taxes for 1912
1913. She alleges that ON Sept. IL,
1915, she demanded payment. She de-
clares that Commissioner Kuolt is one
of the persons having claim of inter
est or lien upon the mortgaged premises.

LA RUE TAKEN TO PRISON.
Barber Waits in Vain For His Wife
To Come To His Rescue and
Seek Parole.

Tom LaRue went up to the state
prison at Waupun today to begin serv-
ing term of two years. He left Keno
sha just before daybreak in the Gus
tody of Undersheriff A. L. Fries Up
to the time he left Kenosh LaRue had
hoped for a parole. He had expected
that his wife would come to his rescue
but Mrs LaRue, who is supposed to be
with her son at st. Joseph, Mich, fail
ed to put in an appearance and LaRue
may be forced to serve his term. When
he started on the trip to Waupun he
was still just little hopeful that the
state board of control would make
possible his release after he had served
a part of his sentence. The officials
made an effort to get in touch with Mrs.
LaRue before her husband was taken
to prison but they were unable to To-
cate her. LaRue was greatly surprised
last night when he was told to get
ready for the trip to Waupun as he had
figured all along that the sentence was
sort Of a "joke.' The full import
Of the "joke" will dawn on him later.

MAKES BAD ADMISSIONS
Mrs. Clara Bohm Is Named in the Com
plant and She Is Declared to Be Ill
In Bed and for This Reason No
Warrant Was Issued for Her.

A real sensation developed in the
municipal court late Friday afternoon
when a warrant was issued on the COM
plant of George Bohm for the arrest
Of Edward s. Mack, well known Keno
sha man. Statutory charges are made
in the warrant and the name of Mrs.
Clara Bohm is mentioned. Mack was
arrested late Friday afternoon by Po-
lice Officers Clausen and Bradley and
held in the county jail pending pre-
liminary hearing of the case.
The story of the arrest of Mack
gathers interest on account of the fact
that within the past ten days he APP
peared in the municipal court as the
wronged husband in a divorce action
and he was granted decree of divorce
from his wife, Beulah Mack, after al
legations of infdelity on the part of
the wife. In the complaint against
Mack made by Bohm the offense nam
ed in the warrant is alleged to have
been committed on September 10th.
This was several weeks before the hear
ing of the divorce action in the NUM-
cipal court in which Mack had appear
ed as a plaintiff and made the serious
allegations against his wife.
After the arrest of Mack, Judge Ran
dali announced that he had not signed
the decree Of divorce for Mack and he
directed that the decree be held open
pending the outcome Of hearings of the
charges now brought against Mack. In
the decree for divorce Mack was grant
ed the custody of his two minor child
rem and it is possible that attorneys
representing his wife will appear in
court and ask that the divorce be set
aside and file counter demand in
which Mrs. Mack will demand the Gus.
tudy of the children.
(: After his arrest on Friday Mack was
INTERVENE by the district attorney
and it is admitted that he made admis-
sions relative to his relations with Mrs
Bohm. It is said that Mrs. BONN has
also made statements to her husband
duplicating Mack.
The district attorney declared this
morning that no warrant had been is.
sued for the arrest of Mrs. Bohm on
account of the fact that she was con.
fined TO her home with severe illness
which would make it Impossible fol
her to appear in court and answer any
charges. The husband Of Mrs. BONN
made no complaint in court for the
arrest of his wife.
Mack was arraigned in the municipal
court just after ten O'Clock this morn
ing and Attorney Fowler of Waukegar
appeared for him. A plea of "not
guilty. was entered and the hearing
of the ease was adjourned until next
Saturday. Mack was held in bonds OF
five hundred dollars for the adjourned
hearing and he returned to Jail. II
was said that bonds for him would
probably be furnished before the day
was over. Mack made no statement in
regard to the facts in the case at the
court hearing and his attorney was
equally reticent.

WAR TAX TOTAL rs BIG.
District Which Includes Kenosha Paid
S1,871, 1896 in the First Year
of Operation.


The war tax cost the eastern district
OF Wisconsin lot of money during the
hrst year that it was in operation.
Figures on the amount have just been
given out by Collector Paul Hemmy
of Milwaukee and they show a grand
total for the year of $751; 1896. Near
ly all of the tax was collected on wines
and beer sold in the district. 1t is
generally believed that congress will
re-enact the emergency tax law, for
even though the war ceased at an early
date, conditions would remain I'M
settled for such long period that gov
eminent revenues would not be suf-
ficient without the extra money thus
raised. The regular beer tax is one
dollar, but under the act is one dollar
and a half. Therefore, the figure
representing the special tax on beer is
one-third of the total of regular and
special taxes combined. The word
Wine' as used herein includes cor
dials and iqueurs This collection dis
trlct embraces the counties of Brown,
Calumet, Dodge, Door, Florence, Fond
du Lac, Forest, Green Lake, Kenosha,
KeWaunee, Manitowoc, Marinette, Mar
quette, Milwaukee, Oconto, Outagamie,
Ozaukee, Racine, Shawano, Sheboygan,

Langlade townships which formerly
were in Lincoln county.
