Members of County Board
of Supervisors Approve a
Plat and Fraternize at
the Court House.


The county board of Kenosha county
fraternalized for one day session up
at the court house this morning with
little of real interest to the general pub
lie to take up the time of the supervis-
ors. The call for the special session was
sent out to give the board chance to
act on plat of Hollywood subdivision
adjoining HomeWood subdivision in the
town Of Somers. The plat was given
the approval of the board at the session
this morning. A second plat presented
for approval by w. G. Hood was laid
over for action until this afternoon.
The members of the board gave their
sanction to Sheridan Road day for Tues
day and by unanimous vote accepted
the invitation Of the Wisconsin Sheridan
Road association to have part in the
ceremonies arranged for the day.
During the morning session William
F. Fisher, president of the board of
trustees of Willowbrook sanatorium adj
dressed the board in regard to some of
the immediate needs Of the institution.
The matter was held open until this aft
ernoon. The trustees are anxious to
have the work of constructing the hos
pital completed before the opening Of
the cold weather. This includes the in
stallation of windows on the big
porches, painting some of the windows
Of the building and minor additions
necessary to the comfort Of the patients.
The county board expects to make pro-
vision for this work so that it can be
done before the regular November meet
ing of the board.
1t was thought possible that the
question of the road bonds for the town
Of Pleasant Prairie would bob up at the
special session but up to late hour
this afternoon no mention of the Pleas
ant Prairie bonds has been made. AS
this is a special meeting the board
would have no power to make any ap-
preparation. Some of the Pleasant
Prairie road boosters are anxious to
have the matter disposed of but it is
probable that it will be laid over until
the November session and taken up in
connection with the other road program
About the most interesting thing in
connection with the session today was
the announcement Of Chairman Spartz
that he desired the whole board to make
a trip of inspection over the county
roads before the season is over. He
added to this the suggestion that he
would be host at dinner when the
inspection was made. While this matter
was not taken up officially by the
board it is certain that the chairman is
onincr to h11u q dinnar

Delivering the Goods.

The Republican Publicity Associa-
tion, through its president, Hon. Jona-
than Bourne, Jr., today gave out the
following statement at its Washing
ton headquarters:
In return for special legislation for
the benefit of comparatively few
people and against the interests of the
general public, leaders of four labor
unions are now endeavoring to deliver
the votes of their members to the Will
son administration. With frankness
never before displayed in the barter
and sale of votes, labor leaders assert
that the administration has used its Of
fetal power in the interests of these men
and urges upon them the duty of de-
livering the vote. The price has been
paid in legislation which provides for
an increased wage, and the administra-
ton expects the vote to be recorded.
"There is not even pretense that
the wage-increase was for the general
welfare. The argument is based upon
the fact that there was special legisla-
ton for special interests and that
those special interests should give the
desired reward in 'unstinted measure.
"Thus we have an assault upon the
purity of elections which no corrupt
practices act can reach. We are con-
fronted with the question whether it is
the duty of Congress to legislate for
the general welfare or for the inter
ests of few
"The composite citizen, with no
special interests to be served, but with
a beside only to promote the general
welfare, must decide at the November
election whether he sanctions the trade
of votes for wage increases, and
whether he will endorse an administra-
ton that compels the great govern
ment of the United States to acknowl-
edge the superior power of the repre-
sentatives of four labor unions.'

WENT ON FAMILY JAG.
Waukegan Man and Woman Bring the
Children Along and Land in
Court This Morning.

Joe Rennik and his wife, Mary Rem
mix, just naturally tired of the dry
ness of Waukegan and the surrounding
territory and they staged "family
jazz in Kenosha on Sunday afternoon
which from all reports of the police
department, was the most ornamental
thing of the kind that Kenosha has
seen in some time. The real feature
of the case was the fact that the man
and woman had two little children
with them. One of the children was
babe Of fourteen months and the moth
er was staggering along and falling
over the child when she was arrested.
The other little girl was with the faith
er and while his degree of intoxica-
tion was not so great as that of the
wife, the officer declared that he chad
a snout full Mr.. and Mrs. Rennik
exchanged compliments with each other
in the Municipal Court this morning
and then they had confidential chat
with Judge Randall at the bench. The
woman was fined five dollars and costs
and the husband dollar and costs
The court rather givorously expressed
his opinion Of their idea of bringing
up the children.

RACINE MAN ARRESTED.
Man Who Insisted on Taking Child
Into Guaranteed House Held
for DISTURBANCE.

Gregory Labotka, Racine man, was
arraigned before Judge Randall in the
Municipal Court this morning on
charges of making disturbance on
North Fremont avenue on Sunday af-
ternoon. Labotka, with a little child,
was walking about the quarantined
district and he insisted on taking a
child into a house. which was quaran-
tined for diphtheria. Labotka fought
with the police in an effort to take
the child into the house, but he was
finally arrested and taken to the lock-
up. The little child was cared for by
a friend while the man waited for his
trial. The officials of the health de-
partment declared that two other par
ties who invaded the quarantine dis
trict on Sunday escaped arrest, but
they may be brought to court later.

KENosHA MEN MEET DEFEAT.
Five Local Checker Players Try Con-
illusions With the Illinois Cham
pion at Racine on Sunday.

Kenosha checker players went up
against the real thing on Sunday when
five of them journeyed to Racine to
represent the Kenosha Checker Club in
a match against Frank Wendermuth,
champion Of Illinois. Wendermuth,
who is pretty close to a national cham
pion, agreed to meet ten men stimuli
taneously. Five of the number were
from Racine and five from Kenosha.
The Kenosha players included Arthur
Eastman, Alex Grignen, William Pha-
len, Ed. Cohn and John Gerry. East
man, Phalen and Cohn got a draw in
the match. The only game won was
won by Fender of Racine. After
this match the Illinois champion met
Wisconsin Champion Moore of Mil
waukee and defeated him.

FLAGS FOR NEW CITIZENS.

Patriotism of the right kind ruled in
the circuit court today at the regular
September Naturalization day. Judge
Belden made slight change in the
regular proceedings ana after the adj
mission of the various candidates to
citizenship he presented each of them
with pretty card bearing reproduc.
ton of the flag and under it the words
of my Country IT'S of Thee In
addressing the candidates for citizen
ship at the opening of the court the
judge made a strong plea for the highest
form of patriotism.
There were forty candidates for ex-
animation and it was expected that all
of them would be disposed of before
the day is over.

STREET CAR HITS TRUCK.
Collision at the Corner of Grover and

Serious Damage to Both.

One of the cars of the Kenosha
Electric Railway and big truck of
the Bohn and Hansen Moving Com
pany, colIided at the corner of Eliza
beth and Grover streets just after six
o'clock Saturday night and both of
the vehicles were pretty badly damag-

truck attempted to cross the tracks in
front of the street car and that the
driver of the truck was to blame. E.
Sumrhk, who was in charge of the car,
had his brake set but it was impossible
to stop the car. The street car was the
loser by the tilt as the vestibule was
badly shattered and the front part of
the car damaged, There were several
passengers in the car but they escaped
uninjured and the motorman did not
get scratch even though the broken
glass rained about his head. One of the
side boards of the big truck was split
