rs PROBLEM OF EQUIPMENT
State Health Board Representative De-
clares That Ice Companies Will Have
to Rebuild Boarding Houses During
the Coming Summer Months.

After trudging about the banks of
Kenosha county lakes ali Friday after
noon and fighting his way against the
binding snow storm, DR.. Hoyt of the
state board of health found comfort
able bed in a Kenosha hotel just before
midnight on Friday night DR.. Hoyt
was the "follow up'' man from the
state board of health sent out to see
to just what extent the managers of the
big ice companies had followed the or
ders of the board in cleaning up the
boarding houses and sleeping quarters
of men employed on the ice.
No, the companies have not COM
piled with the orders Of the state health
board" said DR.. Hoyt when he was
found at the office of Health Commits
sioner DR.. j. j. McShane this morning.
"They have done some things and are
trying to do others, but the condition
of those houses is still awful. 1t may
be q poor way to put it, but it has
clean up lousy bed by sleeping in it
one night. He will get lot of them,
but it takes time. That is just what
we are up against at the ice houses. 1t
'Iis a matter of equipment, summer job
and one that cannot be carried through
in the winter. Kenosha county is en-
titled to a little more consideration
both from the state board of health
and from the ice companies and she is
going to get it. These ice companies
lare beginning to realize that they must
fchange the equipment at the lakes in
this state. OF course lot of them are
rbetter than the worst and some of them
ARE better than the lot and some OF
them are in first class condition, but
Gnearly all of the ice companies are of
bfending against TIE state regulations.
yThe work that has been. done since the
pDrder was issued ten days ago does not
amount to great deal, but it showed
intent. The ice harvest is going to be
bver in few days and then the mat.
Her will be laid before the companies
with the understanding that the orders
lOf the board will be carried out during
the summer and the houses placed in
tcondition before they are opened next
season. It is matter of policing the
houses. There will have to be officers
ITO keep the places clean after they are
cleaned Up and properly equipped.
Later in the morning DR.. Hoyt con-
(ferred with District Attorney A. L..
tDrury but no plans for prosecutions
were announced. He gave Mr.. Drury
Efull report of conditions at the lakes,
tbut it was apparent that the state
Fboard felt that nothing could be done
Tat this time. Prosecutions would be
useless now to bring reforms, but the
lmatter has been so well lined up that
the ice companies will be forced to
make changes or the boarding and lodg-
dng houses viii not be opened again
mext season. The companies have been
given formal notice to this effect.

$4,000 FOR HOSPITAL PURPOSES
Final Account of Estate of Late Cath
crime Kaiser Filed in County Court.

NJ. P. Schmitz executor of the will
of the late Catherine Kaiser, formerly
of Bristol, has filed in the county court
his final account in the settlement of
the estate and the residue of the estate
is shown to be little over $4,000.
Under the provisions of the will of
Miss Kaiser this money is to be tend
cred to the Franciscan Sisters of st.
Louis, Mo-, to be used as the nucleus
of a fund for the erection of a hospital
in Kenosha or Kenosha county. This
Catholic order is given five years in
which to accept the gift. Should the
order decline to carry out the plans
mentioned in the will of Miss Kaiser
the money is to be offered to some
other Roman Catholic order and if
none of the orders of the church care
to build a hospital here the money is
to be turned over to the city of Ke-
nosha to be used for any purpose that
the council may elect. Thus far the
members of the st. Louis Sisterhood
have not announced any decision in re-
gard to the matter.

SEEK BARTH CHILDREN.
Son and Daughter of the Late John
Barth are Being Sought by Friends.

Friends of the late John Barth, who
died at his home on Lake avenue less
than week ago, are making an effort
to find some trace of two children of
Mr.. Barth, Charles Barth and Mary
Barth, who are supposed to be in Chi
cago but Of whom no trace can be
found. The brother and sister left Ke-
nosha many years ago and Mary Barth
has been married and has lived in Chi
cago for years. The brother, Charles
Barth, was some time ago in charge of
a news stand at one Of the elevated
stations in Chicago, but no trace Of
him can be found through any of the
newspaper distributing associations.
The two children have not as yet been
notified of the death and burial of their
father and friends are acting for the
father in seeking to notify them. Any
information as to the present where
abouts of the two people will be re-
ceived with pleasure by members of
the family.

Kenosha-Ra Co. Senator
to Introduce a Number
of Bills at Madison.
WOULD TAKE K|NKSOUT FLAWS

That complications and antiquities
resulting in prolonged litigation may
be removed from the general drainage
laws of the state, Senator G. Fl. Everett
OF Racine announced today that he is
drafting drainage code to correlate
all drainage laws on the books.
"The present system is SO cumber-
some and so fraught with legal difficult
ties that wherever an attempt is made
to establish drainage district under
the existing laws, it results ultimately
in litigation said Senator Everett.
This should not be so. This legisla-
ture should be able to pass a simple
drainage system that will make it pos
sible to formulate drainage districts,
apportlon the assessment and carry the
drainage scheme to completion with
OUT any resort to the courts. -
Senator Everett said he will also Of
fer bill, if no other senator does, to
provide for compensation to farmers
whose cattle have been destroyed as a
result of the outbreaks of foot-and-
mouth disease. Senator Everett is a
member of the state livestock sanitary
board and member of the state af-
fairs committee of the senate which
considers agricultural measures. This
measure, however, will not only pro-
vide for compensation to those own
ers whose cattle have been DESTROYED
In the past, but will be framed along
the lines of the present bovine tuber-
culosis law and to provide that the
state will compensate also for cattle
whenever they are destroyed for either
foot-and-mouth disease, tuberculosis or
other virulent disease which in the
opinion of the livestock sanitary board
demands the destruction of the cattle
to abate the plague. It is understood
that Senator Cunningham Of BeIoit is
also considering the introduction of a
similar measure.
Senator Everett will later this week
introduce bill providing that none
but citizens of the United States NAV
be granted hunting licenses. Still an
other will provide for the naming of
farms and their registration with the
register of deeds so that no other farm
er within the township may take the
same name for his farm.
81 believe that farmers should take
such pride in farms that they will
give their homestead particular name
such as Hillside, 'Sunnyside, valley
View etc. This gives the farm dis
tinct individuality and can lead only
to increasing regard of farm people
TO- farm life.n

-FOUR HAVE CHANCE FOR OFFICE
John G. Slater, James German, Walter
M. Burke and Calvin Stewart All Be
ing Considered With Sheriff Andy
Stahl as a Possible Dark Horse.

No appointment of postmaster in
kenosha will be made until after the
4th of April. This is the word that
has been sent to Kenosha by the
powers that be" in the distribution
OF democratic patronage in Kenosha.
The word is alleged to have come d.
rect from "Billyn Wolf of Lacrosse
and he is said to be the man who is
giving out the word on the appointment
OF Wisconsin postmasters during the
absence of Joseph E. Davies from the
state.
The delay in making the appointment
is due to the fact that the term of
Postmaster Robert V. Baker will not
expire until the 4th of April and no
appointment will be made until after his
commission has been inva1idated by
his serving out the full four year s
term. The delay will not make any
difference in the term of the new dem
ocratic postmaster as under the rule of
the department all appointments are
made for a term of four years and the
new man is assured chance to serve
out his term even though republican
president is elected at the next general
election. 1t is admitted that the race
for the Office of postmaster in Keno
sha is narrowing down and that only
-four men are considered any way in
the running. One is City~Attorney
John G. Slater. He is decidedly free
of entangling alliances and is being
supported for the Office by democrats
of all stripes and colors. He has not
been active in the fight for the office
and few if any petitions have been
circulated in his behalf. However, a
lot of strong letters have been sent to
Washington, to Madison, to Mayville
and to Chilly" Wolf at Lacrosse, urg-
ing that the city attorney be named.
Then there is former Mayor James
German, who has a very strong fol-
lowing and who is pretty we'll known
among the politicians Walter M.
Burke, who has been active in the
county democracy, is an open candi-
date for the place as postmaster and
like some of the others he has had
many endorsements sent in by promin-
ent men of all parties in the city. Last
in the list of possible appointees is At
torney Calvin Stewart who ran for
congress on the democratic ticket last
November. Mr.. Stewart has been men,
toned more prominently in connection
with the position in the last few days
and it is said that some of his friends
have been very active in his behalf
He has not been an open candidate for
the office, but it is said that he would
accept the position of postmaster if it
were offered to him. Andrew Stahl
the present sheriff and member of the
state central committee, is in pretty
close touch with the democratic lead
ers, but it is said that he is not MAX
ing any effort to secure an appoint
ment as postmaster.
The question has been asked as to
whether he would resign the office of
sheriff to accept berth across the
way. 1t can be said that Kenosha
county would have to get new sheriff
if Sheriff Stahl had chance to pick
new private office.
