Woman Much in Limelight
Alleged to Have Taken
Muriatic Acid on Mon
day Night Recovering.
POLICE find Her IN PAIN

Mary Pohlman Leickem, wife of
Peter Leickem, civil war veteran,
whose domestic troubles have been fea-
tured in many hearings in the courts
OF the county, tried the suicide route
on Monday night at her home on Gro
yer street but thanks to vigorous use
of stomach pump on the part Of DR..
Joseph d. Sullivan it is declared that
the woman is out Of danger today and
that she will recover. DIR. Sullivan
found that the woman had drank a
potion of muriatic acid and when he
reached her just after nine O'Clock
Monday evening he found her writhing
in pain. Three hours before this time
the husband Of the woman had gone
out of the house to get some milk.
when you come back you will find
me dead Mrs. Leickem is alleged to
have told her husband. Regardless of
the warning the husband hurried along
after the milk and when he came back
little later he found the woman with
ing on the floor. He at once notified
the police officers and the officers re-
sponded with the patrol wagon. 1t was
supposed that Mrs. Leickem had been
INDUCING in liquor but when Chief of
Police O Hare saw the woman he de-
clared that she was ii need of doctor
rather than a police officer. The Off
GERS aided Leickem to put the woman
to bed and later DR.. Sullivan was call
ed. It is declared that Mrs. Leickem
had the acid which she took in per-
fume bottle and DIR. Sullivan found
traces of the acid in a glass in the
kitchen Of the house. The woman re-
fused to make any statement more
than to declare that she wanted to die.
The throat of the woman was badly
burned by the acid but the physician
attending her declared today that her
recovery was only a matter of a few
days.
Mrs Leickem is still on bonds in the
municipal court where she was arraign-
ed months ago on a charge of shoot
irg at her husband. 1t is probable that
the incident Of Monday night will re-
suit in her husband taking some steps
to have her surren 5ered to the court
for trial.

Senator LaFollette to Garry
His Fight Against Repub-
lican Administration Into
This County This Week.
COMES UNDER OWN AUSPICES

Senator La Toilette has decided not
to slight Kenosha and announcement is
made this morning that the senior sen
ator will carry his advocacy Of party
division into Kenosha county on Fri
day evening when he will speak at the
Orpheum theatre. La Toilette has been
| seeking a date to come to Kenosha fol-
some time but men who haG formerly
been active in the support of Senator
"Bob' were luke warm this year and
| the senator sent several calls to Keno
sha before he found any one to take
up the matter and make arrangements
for his meeting. One of his old friends
| just for old sakcs sake-at the same
time protesting his lack of interest in
the coming of the senator arranged
for the hiring of hall and it is un.
| derstood that the senator will speak
under his own auspices here. The To-
cal Republican city and county com
mittee have not been approached in re-
gard to the meeting and Senator La
Toilette will speak in Kenosha as a
free lance.
The visit of Senator La Toilette to
KenosRa is regarded a personal mission
rather than political meeting. It is
expected that the senator when he comes
to Kenosha will avoid any discussion
of national issues that he vii give his
time to paying his respects &c The Re
publican administration in the state
and to opening up the old fires of fac
tionism in the state.
The senator uncorked new speech
up at Oshkosh last night IN which he
numerically lam :,sted Governor Phil
ipp. This time it was the industrial
commission that was the target. It is
understood that the speech will be used
in all of the large industrial communi-
ties which are visited by Senator La
Toilette and he will probably use it in
Kenosha
The value Of the workmen s compen-
sation act is one thing on which SEN
ator La Toilette and Governor Philip
agree but the senator now contends
that the governor is seeking to weaken
this act with amendments.
It is probable that the senator will
be given a respectful hearing in Keno
sha but his visit will be considered one
of personal nature rather than po-
litical meeting under the auspices of
the Republicans.

TREASURER CUTS OUT PHONE.

City Treasurer Steinmetz Declares
That People Must Come to the
Office to Get Tax Statements.
The telephone is under the ban in the
Office of City Treasurer Steinmetz and
there is not going to be any more ans
wers to demands for tax statements
over the telephone just now is the
busiest time Of the year in the office
of the treasurer and the telephone
calls are proving first class nuisance.
"We can not give out information in
regard to taxes by telephone said
the treasurer this morning. All of the
time of the clerks in the Office is tax
en- up with people at the window and
the people who want statements Of
their taxes must come here and get
them. We wish also that the people
would bring their receipts for the
former year with them as this will aid
us materially in finding the property
on which the taxes are assessed with
the least possible delay. We want to
be accommodating to the people, but
we must refuse to answer these tele-
phone calls in the future.'
