GERMANS AWAIT DECISION.
Fifty Kenosha People Born in Germany
Anxious to Become Citizens Of
the United States.

Fifty residents of Kenosha who hap
pened to be born in Germany are adopt
ing the policy Of watchfRl waiting.
These half hundred people, all loyal
to the nation in its time of war, have
filed petitions to be made full citizens
of the United States. Some of them
are ready to 60 to the army and fight
for their adopted country. Under the
ruling OF the courts their petitions
can not be heard until after the
Superior Courts have decided on their
rights to citizenship. 1t may be that
all of them will have to wait until
after peace is declared between the
United States and the German empire.
Clerk of the Circuit Court DeDeimar
was today 6rgging himself out from
under the mass of work connected with
the naturalization day on Monday.
His report will show that fifty-four
aliens were admitted to citizenship.

various stops, provision is being made

WORKED As BEET WEEDER
Injured Man Died Without Revealing
His Identity-It Was Discovered by
Bills Found in Lining of His Goat
No One Knows About Family.

A little band of friends at home
over in war-stricken Belgian are going
to wait in vain for the return of
wanderer who sought fortune in
great new country. Fiefil Pison, thifty-
eight years old and Belgian refugee
who had sought this country as a
haven, died at the Kenosha hospital
just after twelve 'clock this morning.
He had been found in semi
conscious condition along the tracks
of the Chicago, North Shore and Mil
waukee Electric Railway on Monday
night and Will he fingered all day on
Tuesday not once did he sufficiently
regain consciousness to tell the phvsi-
clans and nurses his name or anything
in regard to his life history The re-
mains were identified by Alderman
John Wade at the Misehler morgue
just after neon today.
Pison had been employed for some
time as beet weeder on the farm of
John LIGHTER in the town of Somers.
He had been accustomed to make pur-
chases for the farm and in the lining
of the coat he was wearing when he
met his death the officials found sew
oeal meat bills Thev traced these to
4rh Wade aarket and W idFusifiad
the remains. Little Is known in re,
gard to the man. Tt is believed that
he has wife and little children some
where in stricken Belgium, but he had
no close personal friends and to the
men he worked with he never told the
story of his life He had left the farm
in Somers early Monday evening and
had walked to Kenosha to make few
purchases for himself and other men
on the farm. He had been a prime
favorite with the children about the
farm and that he was thoughtful of
them just before he met fatal injury
was shown by the fact that he
was carrying home little bag of
cF ocolate candy.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the inquest over the remains.
The officials of the Chicago, North
Shore and Milwaukee road declared
that they have had no reports of any
one being struck by any train on the
road. Tt is thought that he was struck
by north bound train just before
eight O'Clock Monday evening. He
had been accustomed TO walk along
the track to and from the farm
and it is supposed that this was the
way he met death.

NORMAL SUPPLY 243,OOO
Council Asks New Order from Federal
Coal Administrator Regarding Fixing
Price That Coal Must Be Sold For
to Customers In Kenosha.

Kenosha has supply of one hundred
thousand tons of all kinds of coal and
needs one hundred and forty-three
thousand more tons to insure normal
supply for the winter. This was the
report made to Magnus Swenson, chair
man of the State Council of Defense
on Tuesday evening in response to a
telegram from the state council di-
rected to Mayor Charles Fl. Pfennig
1t indicated clearly that Kenosha was
short of coal and while additions are
being made to the great coal pile of
the city every day the coal must come
in mighty fast if, the Ken6sha supply
is to be received by boat and the deal
ers and the ultimate purchasers of the
coal are to secure the benefit of late
carriers. The letter which was sent
to the state official this morning
showing the amount of coal on hand
and the amount needed is as follows;
G Answering your telegram of yes
terday, addressed to Mayor Ghas. H.
Pfennig, the number of tons of coal
needed for the winter is as follows:
$4,000 tons hard coal for domestic use;
10000 tons hard coal for factory use;
$4,000 tons soft coal for domestic use;
10000 tons soft eoal fgT faetes ases
'The number of tons supplied since
April, the beginning of the coal sea-
son, and including the number of tons
on hand at the present time is as
follows: 10000 tons hard coal for do
mestic use; 1000 tons hard coal for
factory use; 4,200 tons soft coal for
domestic use; $4,000 tons soft coal
for factory use.
"On September 18th, I wrote to Mr..
William Fitzgerald, the federal coal
administrator, asking him to advise us
what steps could be taken to regulate
the coal prices in accordance with
prices fixed by the government, but as
yet have not received reply. Hard
coal is selling in Kenosha at $1,000
and $11.00 ton. IF you can give us
any information in regard to the regu-
lation Of prices, we shall be glad to
have you dc so"
The question of the coal prices in
Kenosha promises to be pertinent
question to come up for consideration
at the session of the County Council
of Defense this evening. Members of
the council are directing their ener
gies, not with view of in any way
compromising any coal dealer, but
with a view of having some definite
price fixed for coal in Kenosha with a
view of having all people treated alike.
Tt is not expected that any price that
may be fxe6 will in any way effect
contracts which have been made previ-
Gus to the fixing of prices by the Presi-
dent. It is possible that the price
fixed for Kenosha by the federal coal
administrator will be in excess Of the
amount now being charged. It is GER
tain that a lot of the Kenosha coal
supply must come into the city by rail
and coal coming in this manner will
probably pay freight rates which will
make necessary the full price fixed
by the coal administrator and posi-
bly, a higher rate.
