SEEK BODY OF CAPT. LINDTHRoP.
Racine Friends Think it Possible That
Body Will be Washed Up on
the Beach Here

Last Friday the Kenosha police re-
ceived a dispatch from the police of
Racine asking that they keep watch
to see whether or not body is washed
up on the beach here. They said that
if the body was that Of a man about
so years old, of dark complexion, that
they would deem it favor if the To-
cal officers would communicate with
them.
1t is just learned that Capt. Lin
throp, Great Lakes navigator, is the
man who is being sought. 1t is feared
by friends in Racine that he met death
in the waters of the lake, either by
committing suicide, or by falling in
accidentally, while on the way to Chi
cago.
Linthrop had been suffering from a
malignant disease and several weeks
ago his wife put him on board boat
bound for Chicago, where he was to
enter the marine hospital. The seaman
never arrived in the Windy City and
it is thought that in fit Of despond-
ency, caused by his physical condition,
he may have leaped overheard, but no
trace of the body has been found.
Friends living in Racine are of the
belief that if Capt. Linthrop's body is
in the lake that it.~wil wash ashore at
a point near Kenosha. Therefore their
request that watch be kept here.

MAY TRY PERCENTAGE PLAN
Big Companies Ready to Come to Ke-
nosha and Take Task of Building Off
the Shoulders Of Antlered Bunch
and Suggestion May Be Accepted.

The building committee Of the Ke-
nosha Lodge of Elks met at the club
rooms on Monday afternoon with Ar
chitect Messmer and considered revis-
ed bids for the building. The lowest
Of these bids was $124,000 and the
committee held that this, was a higher
price than should be paid for the
building and the architect was directed
to draw new plans and specifications to
be presented to the committee within
the next ten days or two weeks. This
will mean that the actual work of con-
struction can not be started until the
early spring Of 1917 and with CON
siderable time to utilize in preliminary
work. The members of the committee
will take their time and secure Just
the kind of plan it desires. The mem
bers of the committee believe that the
proposed building can be erected
for a hundred thousand dollars with
out cutting out any of the material
features of the plans.
Featured at the meeting ON Monday
afternoon was the suggestion that the
committee put mp the new club house
on the percentage basis. One Of the
greatest construction companies in the
country has offered to erect the build
ing with the understanding that the
lodge will pay to the company a
percentage of the cost of the building
for it's services.
This plan has been followed with
success in the erection Of several large
factory buildings in Kenosha and the
same company is seeking the Elks CON
tract. Several of the contractors
were in Kenosha on Monday, but
they were not given a chance to ap-
pear before the committee.
Several plans have been suggested
to the committee in regard to the new
club house. Members of the commit
tee feel that nothing is being lost if
the contract is delayed for several
months as they believe that the prices
Of building materials will not be any
higher in the spring than they are at
this time and that many of the CON
tractors have been forced to make
their bids high in order to safeguard
themselves against unknown building
conditions at the time the work is
actually started.

WAIT PRESIDENTIAL SUFFRAGE
It Is Intended by the W. w. s. A. to
Introduce a Bill for This In
Next Legislature.

When Mrs. II. NJ. Youmans, president
of the Wisconsin Woman Suffrage as
ISOLATION, makes an address one week
from next Friday before the Kenosha
County Suffrage league at its annual
meeting in the Hotel haywood, she viii
spend some little time explaining why
special bill will be introduced asking
for presidential suffrage, beside the reg
ular, all-comprehending suffrage bill
which is also to be introduced.
The presidential suffrage bill will rest
upon part of Section /, Article 2, of
the Constitution of the United States,
which reads as follows:
"Each state shall appoint, in such
manner as the legislature thereof may
direct, number of electors, equal to
the whole number of senators and rep
resentatives to which the state may be
entitled in the Congress. /"
In the past legislatures of the sew
eral states have selected presidential
electors in different ways. The legisla-
ture itself has chosen such electors, it
has designated the judge of the Supreme
court to choose such electors, and it
may, if so inclined, direct that both
women and men vote for such electors.
The situation is exactly the same in all
of the states of the Union and it was
under this constitutional provision that
Illinois women gained their right to
vote for the President of the United
States.

FOR BETTER SCHOOL METHODS.
p. J. zimmers, Former superintendent
Of Kenosha Schools, Blazes Trail
For improvements.

For improvements
Peter J. Zimmers, former superin-
tendent of schools in Kenosha, now
superintendent Of the Manitowoc, Wis,
public schools, is becoming widely
known in the educational circles of the
state He has just written an interest
ing and instructive article on The
training of pupils in right habits of
study through the proper conduct Of
the class period This article has
been published in the Wisconsin Jour
nal Of Education. Mr.. Zimmers, in an
introductory, says:
I" Although the public schools are
better and more efficient than they
have ever been in their history, there
is general DISSATISFACTION with them.
From all sides shafts of criticism are
hurled at them for their failure to do
thorough work in the fundamentals and
to train pupils in proper habits of
study. Y
He further says:
The investigation of the habits of
study Of thousands of school children
in the United States, made by Ida B.
Earhart, clearly shows that the schools
are not training pupils in right meth
DDS of study, thus failing in one of
their most fundamental principles.
"The Courts tests, given so widely
in the schools Of the United States,
show the effort made to measure in a
definite way the character Of the pu-
pills activity. The result of these tests
was an eye-opener to superintendent,
principals and teachers, as pupils were
found to be slow and inaccurate.
These widespread criticisms, so in
sistent and general, coming as they
have from school officials and laymen,
finally influenced this study of the I'M
DERIVING causes which prompted
them"
The article covers several columns
of space and gives a self-survey Of the
Manitowoc methods, observance of a
geography class, a language class, class
in arithmetic, a test in the hygiene
class, etc.

COUNTY TAXES TO Be LESS
Board Closing Up It's Work With IN
derstanding That Final Adjournment
Will Be Taken Friday Afternoon
Must Contract With Sheriff.

The County Board spent the entire
morning discussing the employment
of a county agricultural agent. The
matter is expected to be settled
before the day was over, but there ap-
peared to be considerable division
among the members of the board when
the adjournment to two O'Clock this.
afternoon was taken. District Attor-
ney A. L. Drury was before the board
this morning and explained to the
members the state law provisions in
regard to the agent and presented
resolution providing for an appropria-
tion of one thousand dollars for two
year period to pay the salaries and ex-
penses of the agent. The remaining
cost Of maintaining the work of the
agricultural agent will be paid by the
state. It was explained that the agent
would work under the direction of the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin and that he would
be expected to respond to calls from
farmers all over the county. In addi-
tion to taking care of the demands of
the farm he is expected to give some
attention to the work of getting schools
in the county in closer touch with the
educational program of the College of
Agriculture. 1t is said that the annual
cost of maintaining the Office will be
considerable over two thousand dol
lars SO that the cost to the county
will be a little less than half of the
grand total.
Nearly all of the members Of the
board from the rural districts appear
ed to be favorable to the new plan
and it seems with the support of a
number Of the city members of the
board. Many progressive counties in
the state have been employing such an
agent for several years and none Of
them have given up the plan. The
biggest question raised by the mem
bers of the board in the discussion to-
day was, GLOW Are We Going to
Back Up9" Many Of them feared
that if the system proved unattractive
after it had been tried out it would
be hard to get rid Of the agent. Dis
trict Attorney Drury held that if the
county adopted the plan it must be
ready to try out the work for at least
two years after which time it could de-
cline to make further appropriations.
The board is getting down to clos
ing up time and it is certain that the
adjournment will be taken on Wednes-
day afternoon. There is yet a tax levy
to make and the comforting informa-
tion is that the levy will be slightly
less than it was last year. Even with
considerable appropriations for high
ways for Willobrook and other county
purposes, the finance committee will
make an effort to keep the tax levy
close to the two hundred thousand dol
lar mark. It will run only few
dollars over this amount.
The board had hoped to make its
contract with Sherif-elect Hermann
today, but as he went to Waupun with
a prisoner the board will have to
have this work for the last day of
the session.
Nearly all of the work of the com
mittees has been cleared away and
there is little to delay the final
adjournment.
