Wisconsin on relation of Judge A. e.
Richter against Judge F w. Chad

by the last legislature creating the

EAsTLAND MEN FREEIeIVES DATA ON MEXICO
FEDERAL JUDGE AssoLvEs OWN.
ERs INDICTED FOR MURDER.
Rules Accused Need Not Leave Mich.
igan--Asserts Charge OF Con-
spiracy Not Proved.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb 21-Six
men charged by the government with
responsibility for the loss Of more
than SEQ lives in the Eastland disaster
do not have to go to Chicago to stand
trial
This decision was handed down on
Friday by Federal Judge Clarence w.
Sessions, sitting as commissioner
in the district court here. He denied
the governments application for a
warrant of removal for the defendants,
all of whom live in Michigan.
The finding of the court means
practically that none of the defend
ants will ever be placed on trial by
the government. There is possibil-
ity that if any of them journey into
other states than Michigan they may
be seized and another attempt at ex.
tradition made. but it is declared to
be a remote one,
The men, indicted here, who fought
extradition and defeated the govern
ment are William H. Hull, president
Of the st. Joseph Chicago Steamship
company; George II. Arnold, general
manager; Harry Petersen captain;
Joseph NJ Erickson, chief engineer
and Robert Reid and Charles c. Eek
lift, federal inspectors.
Judge Sessions, in his opinion, said
the government had failed utterly in
all attempts to show conspiracy and
negligence.
In making his decision the Judge
said:
The dead cannot be restored to
life. The sorrows of the living can
not be lessened by claiming other vic
TINS. The majesty of the law cannot
be upheld and vindicated by taking
men from their homes to stand trial
among strangers upon accusations
which there is barely a scintilla of
proof to sustain. The evidence in
this matter wholly fails to establish
the probable cause for believing any
of these defendants guilty of any
crime charged in the indictments.

STATE SHOWS UP WE'LL.
Wisconsin Health Conditions Much
Better Than in Many
Other States.

q A surprising amount Of neglected
opportunity by the larger cities of
America in the conduct of their health
departments is charged by the Russell
Sage foundation, reporting on the re-
suits Of a survey of 227 cities having
more than $4,000 population. In many
respects Wisconsin municipal health
administration does not suffer by COM
parison with the average conditions
reported for the rest of the country.
A fifth of the cities surveyed made no
inspection of school children. Nearly
all such cities in Wisconsin have school
nurses and health supervision of pup
lis. Over third Of the cities did not
offer the ordinary laboratory diagno-
sis for the commoner communicable
diseases. The same is true respecting
the cities in Wisconsin covered by the
investigation. Milwaukee, Kenosha
and Lacrosse, through full time health
officers, offer this advantage, and
Superior, Beloit, Oshkosh and Ashland
have limited facilities for laboratory
diagnosis. Madison uses the state
laboratory.

TO Be ISSUED WITHIN A YEAR
Interesting Historical Documents Now
Being Collected and Mr.. Lyman Will
Prepare Manuscript During Winter
and Springfield Time Pictures.

Plans are now being made for the
publication of 'EHistory of Kenosha. y
Not a history which will set down the
facts in regard to the lives Of a few
men who may be willing to pay few
dollars for the publicity that may be
given them in such work, but it is
going to tell the story of the founding
and growth of the city giving credit
where credit is due and telling at the
same time the absorbing story of the
history of Pike, Southport and Kenosha.
This history is going to associate lot
of valuable articles which were writ
ten by the pioneers and in addition to
this it will have a great fund of in
formation which has never been put
in print before.
Frank FL. Lyman, than whom Keno
sha has no other historian is to be
editor in-chief of the work and it is to
be gotten out under the direction of a
Chicago company which has been active
in the publication of many historical
volumes. 1t will take many months to
gather the data and complete the writ
ing of the book but Mr.. Lyman has
undertaken the task. He is now busy
associating great mass of historical
papers and interesting articles on the
history of the city and when he leaves
next week for Florida he will take this
mass of matter with him and the actual
work of preparing the history will be
started at once with the hope that the
manuscript will be ready some time in
the late spring or early summer Ly-
man Davidson of the Chicago company
has gone into the question and he in
sists that the story of Pike, Kenosha
and Southport will fill two massive vol
umes. 1t is going to be complete
history of the city from the time the
first man landed on the shores of the
Pike until today.
There will be men mentioned in
this work. said Mr.. Davidson, t'but
the mention of them will be because
of the fact that they did real things in
connection with the history of the city
and not because they were willing to
pay for place in the volume. We
are convinced that Mr.. Lyman is the
one man in Kenosha who is able to
write this history and write it right.
He will be assisted by an advisory
board of prominent men of Kenosha,
many of whom have been residents of
the city for many years. 1"
1t will probably be close to a year
before the first proofs of the history
are issued from the press. The volumes
will be- illustrated by many pictures
of interest in the history of the city.
These pictures have been gathered by
Mr. Lyman and other people Of the city
during long period of years and they
are of greatest interest.
The movement to have this real his
tory of the city has met with support
from many people and while the enter
prise is commercial one it will not be
expected to bring any great profits to
the men who are backing it.
