MODERN COLD sTORAGE LIANT
New Buildings TO Be Erected on RIDGE
Street and VIII Be More Modern Than
Plant OF Same Company in Racine
TO Ba- Completed This Summer.

The big Chicago packers have final
ly recognized the meat appetite of the
people of Kenosha and Armour & Com.
pany, the biggest one man concern in
the world, operated by j. Ogden Ar
mour, today broke ground for the cree
ton of great branch house and cold
storage plant on Ridge street, just off
Market street, which when completed
and equipped will mean an expendi-
ture Of more than 100000 on the part
of the company. The big plant is to be
completed during the present summer
and George R. Wade has the first con-
tract for the grading for the side
tracks which are to be built into the
plant. The purchase of the real estate
was made through Mayor Charles FL.
Pfennig and the managers Of the Chi
cago company have assured the mayor
that it would build in Kenosha the
most modern branch plant owned by
the company.
FfI understand that Armour & Com
pany is TO put up the most complete
up-to-date cold storage branch house
that can be built, " said Mayor Pfennig
this morning. "The plant will have au-
tomato refrigerating machines and it
it estimated that the expenditure in
this branch-house and cold-storage
plant will be anywhere from hundred
to a hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars It is planned to make it more
up-to- date than what has been called
the model plant Of the company in Ra-
cine.''
The completion of this plant will mean
that Kenosba will have the best posi-
BILE supply of meats from its own
branch plant. At the present time
nearly all of the customers of Armour
& Company are supplied from the Ra-
cine plant There has been considerable
objection on account of the fact that
meats from Kenosha were hauled in
trucks from Racine. The erection of
the plant does not mean that cattle
will be shipped directly from the
products of the big Chicago packing
viii be slaughtered directly from the
slaughter houses to Kenosha in refrig-
orator cars and held here for the mar
ket. With the building of the plant
in Kenosha it is expected that the
company will make bid for lot of
business throughout the county which
has not been on its books in the past
years.

official advices received by the

it reared and turned stern up and
then disappeared. The name of
the steamer Is withheld by the

that it was not the Mongolia
which was reported to have sunk
German submarine on Tuesday.
The department report was made
by one of the United States con

probable that further details in

SUBSIDIARIES ALL WRONG
Dayton St. Woman, However, Erpphatso
In Her Statement That He Claimed
to Represent the Department and
Demands That He Be Prosecutsd..

Jimmy Madison believes in stimula~
| ton of business. At least this is the
claim that District Attorney Peter
Fisher makes against him in a COM
plant filed in the Municipal Court this
morning and which James is expected
to answer some time during the day.
Madison is pretty well known in Ke-
nosha. He has been cleaning a lot of
catch basins IN recent months and it
is said that the business lacked pep
and that he decided to put pep into it.
The method alleged to have been fol-
lowed was original 1t may have not
been entirely under the law, but the
police officers who arrested him de-
| clared that it got business moving with
as much ginger as when the gum slot
machines were set up in a saloon.
Madison was in court early today, but
the trial Of an assault and battery case
which appeared to hold the boards for
most Of the day, made him sit and wait
before he made his defense IN court.
District Attorney Fisher 10 his com
plant alleges that Madison attempted.
to represent himself as an official OF
the Kenosha health department. The
complaint is hased ON story told by
woman who lives on Dayton street.
She declares that Madison came to the
house and insisted snat he was going
to clean the eatcbbasin. She thought
I
that the sts 5asir lid not raed
cleaning and tosd James SO, but he WIS
obdurate. The woman said that Madi-
son declared that he was a representa-
tive of the board of health and that
she must get the basin cleaned or have
more trouble than Stacker who failed
to register for the selective conscrip-
ton. The woman went to the police,
the police to the district attorney, and
Jimmy went to jail. He insisted that
the suggestion Of a clever artifce to
stimulate business was all mistake.
cit may be' unused District Attor-
ney Fisher, "but I have in mind the
fact that there is letter at my Office
from Racine referring to rather extern
sive operations of Madison in that
city. He had compound to keep
eatch-basins clean in Racine. The men
who wrote to me declared that the com
pound looked lot like common ashes
out of furnace. Of course, the Racine
business has nothing to do with the
matter now before the COURT
Madison was right at home with his4
customers when he got into court as
it was admitted that he had cleanedi
a lot of catch basins for the men stand I
ing about, Among others who held re-
ceipted bills for his service was the
district attorney. Mr.. Fisher hurried !
to explain that the prosecution would
not be any the more vigorous on ac-
count of the fact that he was one of
the catch-basins which had been sclean-i
ed. Tt was not indicated that the /
Racine officials had any formal charge
to bring against the Kenosha man.
Madison may be able to laugh the
case out of court on account of the
fact that there is such a large num-
Der of people who are alleged to have
personal reasons for being able to-
appreciate the Joke.

Find Man Dead
In an Ice House

Sheriff Jacob Hermann was notified
just after seven O'Clock this morning
that an unidentified man had been
found dead in one of the big ice houses
Of the Consumers Company at Twin
Lakes. 1t was declared that the man
had probably died during the night and
probably from natural causes. Coroner
Fl. G. Millager went to Twin Lakes
early today and made an investigation.
There was nothing to indicate that the
man had died from violence and it is
probable that he had died from heart
failure. Up to late hour this
afternoon the identity of the man had
not been established.
