NAY NAME new CHAIRMAN
Officials of Committee Have signifiedA
An Intention to Retire from Leader
ship and New Ones May be Select,
ed When the Committee Meta

The Democracy of Kenoshs county
Is to face the necessity of securing newt
leaders at meeting which has been
called for the court house on next Sat
urday afternoon. This meeting is called
not to arrange details for the campaign
but to name ten delegates to represent.
Kenosha county at the State Demo-
cratic convention to be held in Milwau-
kee on July 10Th. The official call for
the meeting was sent out in the name of
the committee today. It invites not only
the members of the county committees
but also all Democrats interested and
there will be no careful scrutinizing of
credentials. The Democrats are facing !
one hard problem and that is the re- |
organization of the committee Tt will
be necessary for the committee to nameI
a new secretary as it is given out thatl
Walter M. Burke who has served in this3
capacity during the past few years ilIs
retire from it. Mr. Burke refused TOD
discuss the matter this morning more!
than to say that he was out of politics5
and that for this reason it would bel
unfair for him to stand in the way of
some one who could and would give al
real interest to the work of the com
mittee. The Democracy are also look
ing forward to Saturday with grave
fears. John c. Slater, the old wheel
horse of the party who has served in |
the capacity of chairman of the COM
mittee for many years has let it bed
understood that he is not anxious to-
handle the reins of Democracy duringj
the coming campaign in Kenoshas
county. Some of the Democrats ares
still hoping against hope that they wilIs
be able to settle all differences so tF.ats
Mr.. Slater will consent to remain att
the head of the committee. Mr.. Slaters
has said nothing more than he said att
the last meeting of the party when aftera
calling the meeting to order he took hiss
hat and left declaring that it would bel
unfair for man who was not certain9
that he would support the Democraticg
party in the coming elections to remainI
at the head Of the committee. It is ex-
pected that Chairman Slater will CALI
the meeting to order on Saturday after
noon and that after a temporary chair-9
man and secretary are named that hes
will announce his retirement from party
leadership.
It is possible that he will make al
statement to his fellow Democrats all
that time and this statement is to bel
watched with great deal of interests
Kenosha county has no candidates for5
state officials to offer to the conven-j
tion called for Milwaukee. It is expec+-i
I'd that the Kenosha county delegatesa
will be allied with the Husting factionl
of the party in naming the candidates.
FOR state offices. William Wolfe of
Lacrosse is a favorite with Kenosha;
county Democrats for the office off
United States senator and it is expect-I
ed that they will endorse Burt Williamsl
of Ashland as a candidate for Governor.
Reorganization of the committee for
the campaign will, however, be the MOST
interesting matter to come up at the
meeting on Saturday.

GOLD BUG WORKS IN KENosHA.,
Office of DR.. L. E. Kaltenbach Ems
tered by Thieves but They
Fail to Get Booty

The fGold Bug" was working in
Kenosha again on Monday night or
Tuesday and the Offices of DR.. L. E.
KaItenbach in the Scholer and Funck
building at the corner of Park and
Main streets was entered. The en-
trance was made by forcing open q
transom. Once in the offices the men
made search for gold, but DR.. Kali
tenbach had placed all the gold he had
in neighboring safe and the search
evidently did not yield any booty to
the thieves. The robbery was report
ed to the police this morning. It is
possible that other offices in the city
were entered by the same thieves, but
no reports of such crimes have been
made to the police.

A holiday jaunt from Chicago to
Kenosha on Tuesday ended in fatal
ty at the Adams hill just north of the
Waukegan Country Club grounds on
the Sheridan Road at noon when DR..
Leonard A. Lower, sixty years Of age
and well known Chicago surgeon,
was killed, and his wife, Mrs. Carrie
Miller Lower, former Kenosha wom-
an, met very severe injuries when the
automobile in which they were riding
left the road and plunged through a
guard fence down an embankment.
DR.. Lower and his wife were bur
ried under the debris Of their automo-
bile and DR.. Lower died as he was be-
ing removed to the McAlister hospital
in Waukegan. Mrs. Lower is now in
the hospital and il is declared today
that she will recover from her injuries.
Both Dr. Lover and his wife are
widely known to Kenosha people and
they had left Chicago early Tuesday
day with relatives in Kenosha. Mrs.
Lower is q daughter Of the late Cap
tain G. G. Milley and she had planned
to spend the day with her sister, Mrs.
Fred Parker, While DR.. Lower had
planned to visit with his sister, Mrs.
penriasta Isen, Jackson street, and
Mrs. Augusta Rpwald Of Market street.
They had planned to make the visit to
Kenosha relatives a pleasant surprise.
The automobile in which DR.. and
Mrs. Lower were riding was a machine
which they hal purchased about six
weeks ago and neither the doctor or
his wife were very familiar with the
operation Of it. Mrs, Lower was div
ing the automobile and the trip had
been made without incident until they
reached the Adams hill.
The road at the point was very rough
and DR., Lower fearing that his wife
was losing control Of the car, had
reached over and taken hold Of the
steering wheel. He loosened one of
Mrs. Lowers hands from the wheel
and the car turned quickly and crashed
through the guard rail and went over
the embankment to the creek below.
The automobile turned completely over
and landed in the water.
DIR. A. ]. Stone of Belvidere, H., was
driving along the road and he found
DIR. and Mrs. Lower pinned under the
automobile. Both were unconscious
when removed from the wreck. DR..
Lower was carried to the top of the
bank and placed in an automobile to
be taken to Waukegan, but he died a
minute later. Mrs. Lower remained in
dazed condition for many hours after
the accident, but at the hospital this
morning it was declared that her con
dition was such that it was believed
that she would recover.
Relatives of pr. and Mrs. Lower in
Kenosha heard of the fatal accident
early Tuesday night and it came as q
great shock to them.
Frank Lower, the only son of the
couple, is member of Battery B. of
the Illinois National Guard. He was
at once granted furlough and he hur-
Ned to Waukegan this morning.

CENIRAL 6R a hIIMAR TEAM
WINS FROM N 0RMALS I'M
ONE SIDED SCORE AT "Y''

The Central Grammar indoor base
ball team trampled all over the Nors
NAL school team yesterday afternoon
at the Y. NJ c. A., the game ending
with the score Is to in favor of the
grammar school boys.
Clarence Lane, crackerjaek hurler
of the Central grammar school, did
not occupy the box yesterday, as the
vfct0rs figured an easy game without
the star in the box. Leo de Roo, cap
tain and pitcher of the Normals, dis
played poor pitching yesterday, and
although given excellent support by
his teammates, failed tn stop his OPP
ponents from running up a large
score. Starting with the third inning,
the singers of the grammar school
batted de Roo to all corners OF the
field, to the delight Of their support
sers. Lee, q younger brother of Lai
Tin, tossed for the yietors, handling
the pill in great style, and for several
innings his opponents were unable to
.locate the bali as it shot over the
plate. A large number of students
from both schools, as well as outsid-
ers, witnessed the game yesterday.
This makes the second defeat the Nor
mails have encountered since the be-
ginning of the series between the two
schools. Central grammar stands on
top of the column with no games lost
and two victories to their credit, while
the Normals have lost two games.
The two teams will clash again next
