Health Officials Have Fin
gers Crossed as Last Case
of Disease Disappears.
VACCINATIONS Win IMMUNITY

Kenosha is one of the few cities in
quarantine for the disease has been re-
moved and Health Commissioner Nc
Shane is hopeful that Kenosha will go
through the remainder of the winter
without the glazing smallpox cards be-
ing hung up on any other house in the
city. Three cases of the disease have
been in quarantine in Kenosha since
the new outbreak and while not one of
them have proved serious to the
patients they have caused the usual
stir in the offices of the health depart
ment. 1t was pretty well established
that the cases in Kenosha were import
ed from Milwaukee. Scores of people
were vaccinated and it is thought that
the vigorous action on the part of the
board of health prevented the spread
of the disease in Kenosha.
We have our fingers crossed yet, y
said DR.. McShane this morning "The
period for smallpox cases is far from
over and we would not be surprised if
other cases of the disease develop in
Kenosha before the days of hot weather
and open windows come. The mem
bers of the board have been careful in
watching the three cases which have
been quarantined and people have
eheerfully submitted to vaccination.
You see so many people have been vac
cinated in Kenosha in the past two
years that it is beginning to get hard
for small pox to find crowd of VIC
TINS here. There are individual cases
of the disease break out in nearly every
city and it is impossible to prevent the
coming of such cases. Health officials
in all cities are cooperating in this mat
ter, but sometimes vagrant case of
the disease will develop and escape
quarantine and when this happens
there is a lot of trouble all along the
line. We have sought to keep track
of all suspicious cases in Kenosha and
we feel that this has helped in prevent
ing spread of the disease. We have mott
fed health officials of other cities when
we had reason to suspect that the dis
ease was in their territory and we have
had immediate cooperation from such
officials. y
Kenosha is not entirely free of con-
tagious disease at this time. There are
several cases of chicken pox, one case
of scarlet fever and several other cases
of whooping cough and measles among
the children. However, the contagious
diseases have claimed but one victim
in Kenosha during the winter season
and this child died before physician
had diagnosed the case.

Industrial Commission Man
Seeks to Get Building Code
From Kenosha Council.
WOULD ENFORCE STATE LAWS

Sidney M. Williams, State Commits
sioner of Buildings under the Industrial
Commission, spent most of Monday in
Kenosha attempting to convince the
members of the Common Council of Ke-
nosha that the time had come for Keno
sha to safeguard building in the city by
the adoption of a building code.
Commissioner Williams is strongly ur-
ging upon the council the enforcement
of the code adopted by the Industrial
Commission for the use of cities in the
state, but some objection has been
raised to this action and many of the
members of the council are favorable to
a code which shall be made for Kenosha
and with a view of meeting conditions
in Kenosha. The matter is now in the
hands of the committee of building and
water works of the council and it is ex-
pected that some report will be made to
the council at the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Williams found many of the alder
men favorable to the enactment of a
building code, but he had not been
through the various fights which have
been made to secure such code for Ke-
nosha. He has submitted ordinances
which have been adopted in Madison
and other cities These ordinances are
for the most part similar to ordinances
that have been proposed in Kenosha in
the past. A short order code has been
sugge4ted to the members of the council
in which the state building code is
made a part of the ordinance. 1t is
held that if this code was adopted it
would not be necessary to read all the
long code in a council meeting. This is
the big recommendation for the adop-
tion of the proposed ordinance. It will
be a hard matter with election ap-
preaching to secure a quorum to sit
through the reading of code as long
as the state code. For five years the
members of the council have been at
tempting to secure one reading of an
ordinance proposed by representative
body of builders in Kenosha. but up to
the present time the code has not been
given a first readin- in its entirety.
There seems to be many objections on
the part of members of the council to
the adoption of any code. Many alder
men feel that the cost of building in
Kenosha at the present time is high
enough without the addition of any fees
to be paid to building inspector and
an ordinance regulating building with.
out fees for permits would be one which
would cost the city a considerable
amount of money to enforce. Many OBJ
iections have been made along lines of
limitations for buildings contained in
the various codes that have been sng-
gested. Some time ago a straw vote of
the members of the council was taken
on the question of adopting a building
ordinance and it secured a small major
ity, but not sufficient to guarantee the
passing of the ordinance. It is possible
that the eloquence of the State Commits
sioner of Buildings may change the SEN
timent of the members of the council.

Public Irresponsibility.

"Minors and children, following the
example Of their elders, flock upon the
tracks, engineers, cars and turn tables
and are ground to pieces or crippled for
life. Tramps and yeggmen travel
around the country, in side-door Pull
mans, robbing box cars and burning
ties, stations, bridges and timbers and
robbing farmers, country banks, stores
and postofices. In Canada, where steal
ing rides is crime punishable by fine
of $50 or two months in Jail, there are
very few tramps.
cit would probably cost the states
and municipalities less to enforce a
law against trespassing, than it does to
pick up and bury the dead and care
for the cripples.

Stricter laws and stricter enforce
ment for the prevention of trespassing
upon railways are urged upon the state
legislatures in "The Deadly Toll Of
Trespass on Railways" bulletin of the
national organization of manufactur-
ing, mercantile and engineering con-
Germs dealing with the railroads.
"There were,'' the bulletin declares,
"33,O00 persons under twenty-one years
of age killed or injured while trespass-
ing on railways Of the United States
from 1901 and 1910, enough to make
mile post for every mile around the
world"
Comparing the record of the United
States and the United Kingdom the
following figures are quoted:
Accidents to Railroad Trespassers
Killed Injured
United Kingdom 1901-10 ABA 1915
United States -. .1901-1O 5O,O25 53,427
Telling why this striking difference
exists, the explanation is given:
"1n the United States laws against
railroad trespassing are generally not
enforced.
SIN the United Kingdom persons
other than passengers or employees
found on railroad property are fined
ten dollars for each offense. "
When Titanic goes down, it is
pointed out, "and hundreds perish, a
thrill of horror runs through Christen-
dom. Thousands perish one at a time
and nobody pays any attention, not
even the neighbors.
Progress toward enactment of laws
providing effective penalties and
toward conviction and sentences for
those who wilfully expose themselves
to danger is said to be slowly spread
ing, while loss of life and damage as
affecting railways is increasing. France
Furnishes trespassers by fines up to 1919
and jail up to a month; Germany, by
fines up to $25; Canada by fines up to
$50, and imprisonment up to two
months. The Wabash railroad operates
a part of it's mileage through Canada.
In the year ending June 80, 1914, of
the ninety-four trespassers killed on
that road only three were killed in
Canada.
In the United States laws are few,
and even where penalties are prescrib-
ed, magistrates hesitate to impose them
as local authorities dislike to feed and
lodge convicted tramps" Trepassers,
however, "include little children and
wage earners living in the vicinity,
whose death or disability leaves fami-
lies destitute.
Elevation Does Not Stop Trespassing.
Elevation Of track in Chicago was
. resorted to at an expense of seventy
millions, which is expected to reach
one hundred and fifty millions. Tres
passers leap over city ordinance and
climb up on to the elevation in their
conscientious devotion to the pursuit
of being killed and manned. In three
months 800 arrests were made on the
elevated right of way of four systems.
Only sixty-seven of the offenders were
punished

BRUTAL GREED

THAT shocking marine disaster where
the excursion steamer Eastland
turned turtle at its dock in Chicago, and
drowned about l4OO passengers, chiefly
women and children, is one more illus
tr4tion of corporation greed, Of a cold
blooded exposure of thousands to death
in order to make money.
The boat was known to be unsafe by
reason of structural defects, having
several times before nearly upset, in
consequence of which it had been re-
peatedly sold, always for a less price.
Moreover, the boat was greatly over
loaded, so the District Attorney for
Cook County declares. Two officials,
the harbormaster A. F. Weckler and
his assistant, Lynn, say the boat was
loaded to double its safe capacity
Finally, it is shown that for at least
II minutes before the boat turned over
it began listing badly, but Captain
