WET SUITS ARE NO BAR THERE
Hundreds Stand in Line Waiting for
Accommodations In Order to Get Into
Lake and Get Respite from Heat
See Chance for Real Investment.

Members of the Common Council
and other officials of the city wendell
their way to the Washington Island
bathing beach Saturday afternoon and
Sunday with view of finding out just
how much demand there was for such
a place in Kenosha. They had some
eight thousand answers. Three thous-
and of them in the way Of men, women
and children thronged the beach on
Saturday afternoon and evening and
the other five thousand sought a
respite from the heat on Sunday.
The beach was the most popular place
in Kenosha and the aldermen discov-
cred that .here is a chance to do real
service to the people by building an
up-to-date bathing beach and pavilion.
!" Are you going to take any action
along these lines?O one of the alder
men was asked. 3'I don It know, = was
his response, but I can say this that
there is no way in which a whole lot
of the people of Kenosha could be
served better than by building a bath
ing pier and pavilion which would
be in keeping" The bathing beach
never claimed such patronage as it had
on Saturday and Sunday. People came
from all parts of the city. Some of
them walked miles to get a dip in the
cooling waters Of the lake. They stood
in line and waited for long time to
get a chance to change their clothes
and there was such a demand for bath
ing suits that the wet suits taken off
by bathers were grabbed up before they
could be hung out to dry.
The facilities at the beach were en-
tirely inadequate to take care of the
people who wanted to use it. There
were not fifth Of the number of dress
ing rooms needed and little fellows who
had bathing suits were dressing under
the shelter of parsols brought by their
mothers. There were hundreds of
kids - in the water, but there were
thousands of men and women battling
in the surf during the two days. The
bathlng beach was shown not only to be
an amusement place for the children
but for the older ones as well.
The ideal location of the beach has
been shown and what is now needed is
for the city to improve the beach, put
out the necessary life lines and other
projections and then build municipal
pavilion which will be large enough
to accommodate the people who want
to use the beach, Tt is thought that
an expenditure of from ten to fifteen
thousand dollars would make possible
one of the finest bathing beaches along
the lake at Kenosha.
Members Of the council declare that
it is impossible to carry out the plan
this year, but that the matter will be
taken UP and considered at the time
the budget for 1917 is submitted to
the council.

covered floating in the lake, about two
miles east of Zion City Three youths,
Herman Hanson, Chester Jurgenson
and George Benson of Chicago had
been up in Wisconsin for vacation
and were returning to Chicago in their
canoes when they noticed something
floating in the water. At first they
thought the object was c log, but on
drawing nearer they discovered it was
the body of man. They tied a rope
to one arm and towed the body ashore
One lad then watched the body while
the other two boys went up to the Zion
City police station and informed the
police. The body was then brought up
to the station and placed in small
house in the rear. Relatives of a man
named John Soaring heard of the find
ing of the body and they believed that
he was the man who was missing from
the Marquette steamer No. Is, which
sailed on May LIST. Soaring had made
his first trip to Chicago as seaman
and was returning to Milwaukee when,
according to his daughter, it had been
raining and her father went up to
speak to the man at the wheel house
and it is believed that he slipped and
fell overheard. He was not seen again
till the body was discovered Friday.
Relatives of the deceased came to Zion
City on Saturday and identified the
body.

With Stealing Metal But Holds
Sentence in Allegiance.

on charge of stealing metal from the
plant of the Frank L. Wells Company,
was arraigned before Judge Randall in

The Supreme Court of the state is to
determine the facts in regard TO the
famous "Durkee claim" At the
August term Of the highest tribunal Of
the state the famous old case, which
has been hanging fire for many years,
is to come up for final determination
as an appeal has been taken from the
decision of Judge Belden confirming
the appointment of Henry J. Hastings
as administrator de bonis non of the
estate of the late Charles Durkee and
the hearing Of the appeal is to come up
at the August term of the Supreme
Court. The appeal to the higher court
is made by John A. Kuykendahl, who
was appointed by the District Court in
and for Salt Lake county in the state
Of Iowa some five years ago and it
shows that Norman w. Haire has sue
ceeded Kuykendahl as administrator de
bonis non Of the estate.
The papers in the appeal gather in
terest from the fact that they make
public the long list of men and women
who are responsible for this latest eff
fort to uncover the property of the
Durkee estate. Twenty-one petitioners
are mentioned and it is alleged that all
Of these petitioners are relatives of the
late Charles Durkee, the list Includes:
Leonard G. Blaisdell of Indianapolis,
Ind; George Durkee, DeForest, Wis;
Joseph Durkee, Harvey Durkee, Har-
riet Fluent, Ellen Church, Mary l..
Furness, Laura A. Huntington, Charles
e. Durkee, and Louisa Hoag, all Of
Charles City, Iowa; Martha K Durkee
and Bessie Durkee of Malone, New
York; John Durkee Of Little Rock,
Ark; Mary L. Hendrix of Rochester,
N. T.; Caroline G. Johnson of Indiana
polls; CharlessL. Boardman, Lorraine,
Ohio; Harriet Boardman, New York
City; Henry Boardman, Washington,
D. c.; Jessie H. Monaghan, Grand
Forks, North Dakota; May A. Fargo
of New York; Harriet Blaisdell, Indi-
annapolis, and G. S. Durkee, Saratoga,
New York.
The record in the case contains many
pages of printed matter, showing the
action Of the various courts which
have had part in passing ON the merits
of the cases connected with the naming
of men to administer the estate.
In the whole record no mention is
made of the alleged claim of the heirs
to the Durkee estate against the United
States government and no mention is
made Of the heirs to the estate residing
in Kenosha at the time the first petition
for the appointment of an administrator
de bonis non was made.
Most of the testimony quoted in the
brief is testimony to show the relation
ship of the heirs making the appeal to
former Senator Durkee. 1t is expected
that the action of the Wisconsin Su-
preme Court will bring some final adj
judication of the case and that the
Judgment of this court will be the end
of the case so far as the Wisconsin
courts are concerned. Henry J.
\ Hastings, who under the order of the
court, has been acting as administrator
has on several occasions admitted that
he has not been able to uncover any
Oew assets belonging to the estate.

Announces Varied Program to Drive
Away Dull Care and Show Beauties
of Kenosha to Visitors.

State retail merchants who come to
Kenosha the latter part of next month
to discuss problems surrounding the re-

ed with view of interfering as lit
tie as possible with the business ses-
sions of the convention, but it is going
to be some program and the committee
wants the visiting retailers to see all
there is to be seen of Kenosha. Of
course, the big industrial plants in Ke-
nosha are going to be considered and
most of the factory men have declared
their willingness to keep open house
during the days of the convention in
order to permit the people coming to
Kenosha for the first time to get some
idea Of just what a big town Kenosha
is from the industrial standpoint. Then
the fraternal orders in the city are all
going to keep open house during the
convention and some special provision
will be made, by every one of them to
provide entertainment for members of
these orders coming from other cities.
Several of the orders will have special
meetings during the convention while
others have arranged social events. AS
the convention of the retailers is to be
held at the Eagle 'sAClub house this will
be the center of the social activities
