WOULD PROVIDE INSPECTOR.
Health and Sanitation Committee of the
Council to Recommend Safe
guarding Food Supply.

Members of the Kenosha Board of
Health met with the members of the
council committee on health and sani-
tation at the City Hall on Friday af-
ternoon to discuss plans for the en-
ployment of a laboratory assistant for
the department with the understanding
that such an assistant will also act as
an inspector for food products in the
city. The inspection of milk and meat
has been urged vigorously before the
Common Council during the past few
weeks and the recommendation Of the
committee will be that the city provide
at once for the employment of an ex-
pert to have charge of this work. The
suggestion is that the employment be
made subject to the sanction of the
City Board Of Health and the Wiscon-
sin Board of Health. It is said that
the services of such an official can be
secured for from a thousand to twelve
hundred dollars year.

Object to Underground Work
on Pomeroy Street.

George I'll. Cook, general manager Of
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany in Kenosha, held a conference
with Mayor Pfennig and the members
of the committee in charge of the IN
foreground work in the city at the
mayors Office this morning at which
time the company fled a formal pro-
test against the installation Of under
ground conduits for lines Of the com
pany on Pomeroy street. The com
pany holds that the revenue received
from this street is but nine hundred
dollars a year and that the cost of put
ting in the conduits would exceed
seven thousand dollars. Tt is claimed
that the investment would be so great
that the interest on it would be far in
excess Of any profits that the company
could hope to realize from the street.
The committee will have report for
the Common Council at its meeting on
Monday evening.

Was INJURED LAST MARCH
Woman Who Filed Suit Against North
western for Damages for Personal
Injuries Says That Stairway at
Station Is Public Menace.

The courts of the county and state
are to be asked to declare the stairway
in the main waiting room of the Chica-
go and North-W Railway station
menace to public safety.
This is the demand of a suit fled in
the Circuit Court by Calvin Stewart on
behalf of Mrs. Hannah S. Himstreet of
Kenosha who demands that the COM
pany pay her $4,000 as damages for
personal injuries received when she
plunged down the stairway on the af-
ternoon of March 16, last. She asserts
that she suffered permanent injuries to
her left arm and shoulder and that the
injury would not have occurred had it
not been for the negligence of the COM
pany in not providing proper protec-
ton for the people using the station.
Mrs. Himstreet had been passenger
on one of the trains of the company
and when she reached Kenosha she
went into the station to await the COM
ing of her son. She walked over to the
window to watch the passing of a train
and not knowing of the existence of
the stairway she walked so close to it
that she slipped and fell to the bottom
of the subway below She was taken
to the Kenosha Hospital and she re-
manned in the hospital for more than
five weeks under the care of physicians.
She holds that the company failed to
maintain a Stairway" sign in the
station and that the location of the
stairway so near to the window made
it menace to public safety.
There have been many people injured
as result of the stairway at the
North Western station. Falls to the
subway have been common, but this is
the first time that any case has been
fled in the Circuit Court with view
of forcing the company to pay damages
for injuries to passengers who fell on
the stairway. 1t is said that several
cases where damages were claimed for
such falls were settled out of court. In
recent months the company has provid-
ed better protection for the stairway.
The suit is to come up for trial at
the next term of the Circuit Court and
the result Of the trial will be watched
with interest. It is probable that if
Mrs. Himstreet RECEIVERS against the
company that several other similar
cases will be fled.

CHARGE THREATS TO KILL.
Walter Sterno is Arrested on Serious
Charge Following Complaints of
Girl He Would Marry.


Walter Sterno, Pole, pretty well
known among the people of his ma
tionality in Kenosha, faced Judge
Randall in the Municipal Court ills
morning on a serious charge. Joe ap-
pears to be an ardent lover and it was
all on account of this fact that he got
into court. He had been paying his
respects to Sophia Joe, but the young
lady evidently did not warm up to his
suggestions that they be married and
she alleges in her complaint that the
ardent sweetheart told her that he
would kill her if she continued to re-
fuse to marry him. Miss Joe, who is
decidedly comely, insisted to the po-
lice that she did not want to marry
Sterno. When the man was arrested
he showed a willingness to plead
"guiltyo to the charges made by the
young woman, but after the case was
brought into court this morning he
showed a desire to think it over. The
young woman declared that she was
much annoyed by the threats made
against her life and that she feared
that Sterno would carry out the threat.
Sterno declared that he was just
-,aking fun but the officers refus-
ed to look at it in this way The case
may be disposed of this afternoon.

stunning her and demolishing the bed
on which she was sleeping Other mem
bers Of the family were huddled in the
beds badly frightened and feared to go
to the relief of the young woman when
two minutes later a second bolt of
lightning struck the house, throwing
Mr.. and Mrs. Rohr out of their bed
and demolishing the wood bed in which
they were sleeping.
Miss Rohr suffered terribly from the
effects of the lightning but is was de-
clared this morning that she was out
of danger. Helen and Louise, other
children of the family, were sleeping
in another room and they were stunned

LOTUS BEDS IN FULLEST BLOOM.
One of Very Few Such Displays in the

Auto Parties from Here go There.

Many automobile parties from Keno

there are in bloom many beds Of lotus.
This flower which takes thousands to
Japan every year grows there in great
numbers at that lake, and the beds
there, are among the very few in Amer

1t is stated fhat there is but one
other in the United States which can
rival the Lake county rarity. Scores
of persons come from distant points

line GOES TO new COMPANY
Company Plans Many Changes Hopes
to Run Cars Into Chicago Within
Few Weeks - Johnson Is Temper
airy President of Company.

The Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway Company is going to make
fight against trespassing on the lines OF
the company in Racine and Kenosha
county and Wednesday afternoon p. N.
Muldoon, the assistant claim agent Of
the reorganized company came to Keno
sha and made an appeal to the officials
of the city and county for the arrest OF
all people trespassing on the lines of
the company. Signs reading Keep off
this right-of-way" have been put up
along the tracks in both the city and
county and Muldoon declared that he
is going to demand the arrest of all
people who decline to heed the signs.
''I suppose Kenosha people do not
believe in signs any more than the peo-
pie in other places, but we have come
to the place that we must enforce the
laws against trespassing on our right
of-way. Hundreds of people are ex-
posing themselves to danger on these
tracks every day and we want to stop
it. We have given orders to police
officers to arrest every person trespass-
ing and if the officers fail to act, we
will get out warrants and force the
people to give up the use of the tracks
as walking places. We want to pre-
vent the loss of life just as far as pos
sible. The company has put up these
signs and it is going protect its right
of-way just as much as possible
Muldoon brought the information
that the road has been transferred to
the new company and w. 0. Johnson
who was receiver of the company for
many years has been named as tempo
rary president Of the new company. It
will take several months to work ont
the official directory Of the new COM
pany, but it is understood that Mr..
johnson will only serve as executive
officer for short time. The formal
transfer of all the properties of the
company was made on Tuesday and the
new company is now in charge.
cit will take a little time to get
everything organized under the new
management, - said Mr.. Muldoon, "but
it is the idea of the company to meet
the people of the various cities half
way in everything that pertains to the
operation of the road. We want to
satisfy the people just as well as it is
possible for us to do it. The men who
are taking hold of the road are prog
ressive men and men who want to make
it a real benefit to the people as we'll
as an earning proposition to its stock
holders. "
Muldoon was asked as to what the
chances were for the cars running into
the loop district in Chicago "This
matter is pending and we hope to have
the plan worked out within very
short time. Certainly the cars will Ill
timately run to the loop, but I can not
say just when this new traffic will be
established. 1t may be in a month and
it may take longer time butt s com
ing"
The withdrawal of the road from the
receivership was made without any big
noise and announcement of it has not
been made in the cities through which
the road operates more than ir the fact
that deeds for the transfer of the prop
erty have been made matter of record
in the various counties.
