Son of Well Known COntrac-
tor Is Drowned While
Bathing in St. Joseph
River on Monday.
DEATH ENDS HIS VACATION

Edwin Schaefer, aged twenty years,
son of Gottlieb Schaefer, 800 Park
street, the well known Kenosha carpen-
ter contractor, was drowned in the
waters of the st. Joseph River at a
point ten miles from st. Joe, Michigan,
late Monday afternoon. Details Of the
drowning have not been received in
Kenosha but it is known that the young
man met his death while bathing with
party of his friends.
Young Schaefer, who had been en-
ployed as timekeeper on the Lincoln
School, had gone to st. Joe last Friday
to spend 9 week s vacation. He was
accompanied by his cousin, Reinold
Schaefer and after spending few days
at ST. Joe the two had gone to the
home of Mrs. Emily Dikeman, their
aunt, who resides on farm about ten
miles from st. Joe, on Monday morn
ing. The cousin returned to Kenosha
later in the day and it was only a few
minutes after he reached the city that
he received the telegram announcing
that young Schaefer had been drowned.
The young man was fond of the water
and the fact that the river was locat-
ed only short distance from the Dixie
man home had caused him to anticipate
a very pleasant vacation.
tfTell the folks that I will be home
on Saturday, - was the farewell mes
sage that he gave his cousin as the lat
ter drove away from the Dikeman home
on Monday morning to return to
Kenosha.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schaefer were pros
trated by the news of the drowning Of
their son and members of the family
at once hurried to st. Joe to bring
back the body for burial.
Young Schaefer was twenty years of
age on last Saturday and he had spent
much of his life in Kenosha. He was
a carpenter by trade and he had given
promise of being most successful
workman. The year had been an I'M
lucky one for him. Last May, while
working on the Lincoln School for
which his father has the contract, he
slipped and fell from the roof of the
building and suffered very severe in
juries. He was supposed to have re-
covered entirely from these injuries
and he had been back at work on the
building for some time before he de-
cided to take a vacation and spend it
in Michigan
The remains of the boy are expected
to reach Kenosha this afternoon and
announcement Of the day and hour of
the funeral will be made Wednesday.

TWO Dive BOATS ARE

Machiesport, Me-, Aug. Sat least
one submarine and possibly two are
lurking off somewhere On the New

Bremen-it is impossible to say.
The first craft was sighted off
Cross Island, on the Maine coast, in
the morning. Shortly afterward an.
other lookout on the same island
sighted what he believed to be an.
other submarine and a smaller one
Both submerged soon after coming In.
to view and did not appear again.
The first submarine vanished after
a warning signal had been sounded
from the lighthouse on Seal Island, a
British possession, to the keeper OF
the Grand Manan light also British
owned. Several short blasts were
sounded from the Seal Islands, after
which the submarine disappeared.

Local French Front Wound
ed Committee Raised This
Sum in the Month
of July.
NEED FOR SUPPLIES GROWS

The Kenosha committee of the Am
erican Fund for the French Front
Wounded is extremely happy over it's
good fortune in having received $1,000
in contributions to support its work,
since the first Of July. All of the
amount will be expended in the pur-
chase of supplies for the suffering
French soldiery.
ga cablegram was received at the
Chicago headquarters yesterday from
Mrs. Lathrop of the Paris headquarters,
stating the great need existing for rub
Der goods, socks, sheets and pajamas, :"
said one of the workers in the Kenosha
headquarters in the St. Matthew s
Guild Hall today:
THE cablegram said further that
the extended fighting at Verdun and on
the Somme front has absolutely cleaned
out their supplies and created an unpre
cedented demand for all kinds of dres-
sings and hospital supplies.
The Kenosha committee can use to
wonderful advantage any money that
Kenoshans may feel like contributing.
When we hear of the great prosperity
of this country, due, in a great measure,
to the European war, and when we
realize thai Kenosha has been enjoying
its full share of that prosperity, it
would seem as if, under these condi-
tions, we ought to do all that is in our
power to supply the crying needs Of the
wounded
Every pair of slippers with soles
means that one more man can get out
of doors. We sent 100 pairs of leather
slippers this week. Last month we
sent 5000 paper drinking cups and the
Paris office writes: A greatly appre-
ciated gift was the paper drinking cups
tuberculosis is rife in the hospitals
where the patients have been returned
from prison camps, and the doctors beg
for these cups and paper handkerchiefs.
We sent 5000 more this week and
5000 paper handkerchiefs. We also
sent 200 sheets, 200 pillow cases and
$40 ice bags.
While it may seem to some that we
are doing all that we should do, the
sum that has been contributed to this
work through the Kenosha committee
of the A. F. F. W, ranging in gifts
from ten cents to $500, amounts to less
than one mill on every dollar Of just
the increased profits in Kenosha due to
the great war, since its beginning.
We cannot do too much to show
our admiration for a people who are
fighting like the heroes of our childish
fairy tales. They know that they are
right and are giving their all in order
to secure the peace which their poster
ity will enjoy

TO Be READY DECEMBER |
Work on Water Plant Is Being Rushed
and Commissioners Are Hopeful They
Will Be Able to Occupy It by First
of December of This Year.

Pumps for the new Kenosha water
plant will be ready for installation on
the first day OF September This was
the promise Of the Allis- Chalmers Com
pany in Milwaukee to the members of
the Kenosha Board Of Water Commits
sioners who visited the plant on
Thursday afternoon and had chance
to see the big pumps for the Kenosha
plant in the making. The heavy work
is all completed and the pumps are
now being prepared for shipment.
eve will have them laid down in
Kenosha ready for installation on the
first day Of September was the report
from the. head offices of the company.
This assurance was a welcome one Of
the commissioners as it makes certain
that the opening Of the new pumping
station will not be delayed by the in
stallation of the machinery. The work
Of installing the big machines will 90
forward just as soon as the roof is on
the main plant building. The men
who install the pumps will probably
have to wait on the men constructing
the big building as it is not thought
possible that the roof will be on the
plant before the first of October.
cit is not going to be possible for
US to have the new water plant in oper-
alton by the first of November, but we
are hopeful that the plant will be ready
by the first of December said Super
intendent Brennan this morning. tFThe
water commissioners are doing every
thing in their power to get the plant
completed in order to relieve any
scarcity of water there may be in the
city. We are urging the contractors to
speed up the work and excellent forces
are employed on all the buildings. We
were well pleased with the fact that
there is to be no delay in the compile
ton of the pumping machinery. We
probably will not be ready for it on
the first of September but the work of
installing it will be started just as soon
after that time as possible. The con
crete work for the pumping plant will,
be completed in another two weeks and
the work on the filtration plant is 90
ing forward just as rapidly as possible.
The excavations have been completed
and we have the assurance Of the fl
tration company that it is not going to
delay the completion of the plant.
The work Of laying mains is going on
in all parts Of the city and we will be
ready to turn the water into the mains
just as soon as the plant is completed. J"

TRAINING FOR MADISON.
Candidate for Assembly Has His
Pocket Picked at the Merchant
Picnic on Thursday.

1t Attorney Henry J. Hastings is
elected to represent Kenosha county in
the Assembly this fall, it is probable
that one of his first acts will be to pro-
vide some adequate punishment for a
man who picks a pocket. Attorney
Hastings went out to the merchant s
picnic on Thursday afternoon. He
waited for the crowd to come but the
only crowd he got mixed with was the
one which gathered to get on the car.
He reached for his pocketbook to pay
his fare back to the city only to find
that some one else had reached before
he did. The pocketbook contained a
small amount of change. No report Of
the robbery was made to the sheriff. It
is just possible that the committee on
ways and means of the county Democ-
racy were out at the picnic getting a
campaign fund, but Mr.. Hastings de-
clares that he is not accusing any one.

FORMER RESIDENTS MISSING.
Insurance Companies Come to Settle
Losses But Effort TO Find People Who
owned Property in Burned Store
House Fails TO Bring Results.

There are a dozen people, probably
scattered all over the United States,
who do not know that they had a fire
loss on last Monday evening when the
Ladewig storage house was Quilted by
fire. These people had stored their
furniture away in the store house and
removed from the city and there is no
record as to where they are living.
Adiusters from the insurance com
panies have been in Kenosha to adjust
the loss caused by the fire, but this has
been impossible on account Of the i'm
possibility of the officials to locate the
owners Of the property burned. A half
dozen people who had property stored
in the big building left thier addresses
behind them. Twice as many more
just went away and left their furniture
and they have never been heard from
since. In some cases the storage
charges were paid in advance, but in
other cases the property was being
held for the charges and for the
return of the owners.
Tt is announced that the loss from the
fire will be between four and five thous-
and dollars and this loss is divided be-
tween some twenty people. The loss on
the building is put at two thousand
dollars and this is covered by insur-
ance. How much insurance covered the
furniture stored in the building is a
problem. Ladewig wants to proceed
at once with the rebuilding of the
building and for this reason search is
being made for the owners of the
furniture. Some Of the losers whose
names and addresses are known were,
former Mayor W. M. Farr, now living
in Albuquerque; former City Engineer
Robert Moth; Oscar Petersen, who is
living in Kenosha; Mr.. Steenrod, some
where in Cleveland; J. H. Floyd, New
port, MINI; Mrs B. M. Hermann Mil
waukee; Milton A. Kent, Los Angeles,
Cal; Dwight Smyth of New York City,
and Miss Clara Malhoit of haywood,
Ill. In some of these cases letters sent
to the people have been returned by
the postofice of the towns with
no address to which the letters could
be forwarded.
In the long list of people whose adj
dresses can not be found are the fol-
lowing: Frank Polimini, Frederick
Schulz, Mrs. Martin Hartman, j., H.
Schwartz, Mr.. Ostover, Mr.. Birkhouse,
Mrs. J. Il. Sanford, Carl Weinholz, G.
johnson and A. Lunchman. Several of
these people had household goods valued
at several hundred dollars in the storage
house. The name of one party who had
property stored in the building is
unknown and the furniture, which was
badly damaged by the fire was listed
simply as "Lot 1867
1t is possible that many of these peo-
pie had insurance on their furniture,
but on account Of the fact that they
can not be located it may be difficult
for them to collect their losses. People
knowing the whereabouts of these peo-
pie should communicate with the store
house officials at once.

DRURY NOT A CANDIDATE.
District Attorney Announces That He
VIII Let Others Fight for the
Republican Nomination.


District Attorney Alfred L. Drury,
who has made a splendid record in the
Office Of district attorney, is not going
to be candidate for reelection.
81 am not a candidate under any
circumstances, he said this morning
IT have had four years Of the work
and while I should like to continue in
it I feel that the demands Of my private
practice are such that I could not afford
to give further time to holding the
county ofie. There are already plenty
of candidates in the field and I have
no idea of further complicating mat
ters by taking out petitions at the last
minute. [ am very thankful to a lot
of my friends for promised support
but / decided to retire from office
some time ago and ] am going to
stick to this decision.
The retirement of Mr.. Drury from the
race will leave the Republican fight to
Peter Fisher, Jr., and Frank S. Sym
monds, both of whom have taken out
petitions. The administration Of the
Office under the direction of Mr.. Drury
has been a bright spot in the history
Of the county. No attorney ever had
so many criminal cases to deal with.
Mr.. Drury has saved the county thous-
ands of dollars by securing pleas of
guilty and it has been notable thing
in connection with his administration
that few criminal eases have come to
trial. In addition to this he has been
an able adviser of the County Board on
many questions and members of the
board without respect to political party
lines have paid high compliment for his
services. His private practice has
grown to be one Of the largest in the
city and he will give his entire time to
it after the first of January.
