Twenty Employees Of the Consumers
Company Quit Work and Stop
Shipments at That Station.

Shipments of ice from the village
Of Salem were stopped on Friday after
noon on account of strike among the
employees Of the Consumers company
there, and it is declared that every
employee in the houses of the company
is affected by the strike. Fear was
expressed that the strike might spread
to other houses in the neighborhood.
The men are demanding an increase in
pay. just at present most Of the men
are employed in handling surplus ice
which is being shipped to Chicago and
other cities. The Consumers company
declined to meet the demand of the
men and an effort is being made to fill
the places made vacant by the strike.
Most of the strikers reside in the vii
lake of Salem and they are employed
during much of the year by the company

tity of Men Who Robbed the
Smith JeWelry Store.

The three men taken into custody by
the police department in connection
with the cracking Of the safe at the

self in the store some time On Wednes-
day afternoon and remained in hiding
until after the place was closed up in
the evening They hold that it looks
like the robbery had been carefully
planned and that the man did not es-
cape through a back window as had
been suggested. Search for the jewelry

VETS START FIGHT NOW.
Big Posters Contending Against Dry
Wave Make Their Appearance
in Kenosha Today.

Kenosha "wets" have started theil
battle against the dry wave in Keno
sha and this morning many of the bill
boards Of the city were preaching ar
guments against prohibition for Keno
sha. The big red, white and blue pos
ter is headed Prohibition Not Cure,
It is a Mistake" Tt is said that these
posters will be placed all over the city.
AS yet the petitions asking for the
referendum on the liquor question
have not been submitted to the city
clerk. They may be submitted any
time between now and ten days before
the third of April. Leaders of the dry
forces seem to be keeping their own
counsel and it is declared that they
have as yet made no plans for the pre-
seatation of the petitions but that they
are quietly organizing for the battle at
the polls. The leaders Of the move
ment have not been announced. The
liquor men by their work in posting
the city have given the assurance that
they are not sleeping on the job.

Judge Taylor Who In 1911
Married Hungarian Count
to Chicago Blonde Finds
His Work Didn't Last.
NOBLEMAN SUED FOR DIVORCE

When Judge Geo, W. Taylor had thu
honor in 1911 of marrying the only mem.
Der f Austrian Hungarian nobility ever
married in Kenosha, to Miss Maude
Inman of Chicago, he little thought
that the honeymoon trail that began
in his Kenosha office would eventually
lead to the divorce court.
Counts fairly thronged Kenosha that
day. The groom was Count Kalman I.
Csaky. His best man was his eounsin.
Count Szechenyi and one of his wit.
nesses was Count Alex Boraky, Austro.
Hungarian consul to America. The
other members of the wedding party
were well known Chicagoans, friends
of the bride.
Although the Countess Csaky is said.
to be a wealthy woman in her own
right and aside from the estate of her
titled husband, she, like any woman
who is not countess might do, under
similar circumstances. is asking fol
alimony. just how much is not stated.
Perhaps she has the feeling that when
the jury sees her they will put higher
limit to what the expenses of an ex
countess should fttingly be, than She
herself would do.

Success of the Kenosha Au-
tomobiIe Show Is Assured
When Committee Find
Most Of Space Sold.
GO LIMIT ON DECORATIONS

What promises to be the biggest
auto show yet held in Kenosha, is well
underway, plans and organization work
having been going on quietly for the
last several weeks. Yesterday the adj
vertising matter began to appear in
all parts of the city, and upon inquiry
it was found that the space for ex-
hibitors on the ground floor of the big
Coliseum had all been let out, and that
the allotments for accessory exhibits in
the balcony were fast being taken up.
There is still about one hundred feet
Of space left in the balcony, but this
promises to be all taken long before
the doors are opened on the fourteenth.
The secretary of the Retailers Asso-
citation, when seen this morning, stated
that he believed the show this year was
going to be more popular than ever
before, as the interest shown by ex-
hibitors and those back Of the project
was at top notch.
1t is planned to have no exhibits on
the lower floor other than local dealers.
However, every car sold in Kenosha
has already arranged to show, which
means that the public will have an I'M
equalled opportunity of comparing
all the various makes of ears right
side by side.
The committee have decided to go
the limit in decorations, and have let
the contract for this work to the larg-
est decorating company in the middle
west. This work will cost several
hundred dollars and will be along the
line of patriotic display. Over fifteen
hundred mammoth flags will form part
of the scheme of ornamentation, and
with flowers and streamers it is ex-
pected the decorations alone will at
tract hundreds to the skoW.
Special features are being arranged
for each night, all of which will be
announced later.

Few Criminal Cases Dis
posed Of In Circuit Court
During the Year Just
Closed.
WORK GOES TO LOWER COURT

Kenosha county is growing better or
more and more cases are being dis
posed of in the Municipal Court for
the statistics Of crime filed by
Clerk of the Circuit Court B. NJ. De
Deimar with the secretary Of state
shows large reduction over former
years of the criminal cases heard in
his court.
The report shows that during the
year 1916 but 10 criminal cases were
noticed ON the record of the Circuit
Court fo1 Kenosha county. It shows
further that there We're but two con-
victions during the year, one after a
trial by jury and one on a plea of
guilty. Seven cases Of a criminal ma
ture were pending in the court at the
beginning Of the year. and the end of
the year found nine cases awaiting dis
posal. There was no murder case tried
during the year, but one case in which
murder is alleged was found on the
docket at the close Of the court year.
There Were three cases in which yari-
Gus degrees Of homicide were charged
and all three of these eases were still
pending at the end Of the year. In all
of the cases the defendants were held
pending some sort of settlement of the
case or because the court had not been
able to get the case to trial. Ten
eases where felonies were charged were
found on the calendars Of the court for
the year. Four Of these were old cases
carried over from the former year and
six new actions were started. Two
convictions for felonies were register
ed in the court during the year. One
defendant was acquitted after trial
by jury, one case was dismissed by the
court and in one case the district at
torney asked for the discharge of the
defendant. Several defendants named
in the nine cases pending at the close
of the year are out on good behavior
and in two eases the trials have not
been held on account of the fact that
the defendants either escaped or for
feited their bonds.
The record for crime in the Munich
pal Court has not been prepared but
when it is ready for the consideration
of the secretary of state it will show
that fully eighty percent of the Grim
inal cases started in Kenosha county
are being disposed of in the Municipal
Court. The percentage of the eases
disposed of in the Municipal Court has
been growing steadily larger and it is
certain that in short time the Circuit
Court will have a decidedly shorter
criminal calendar and that the work
of the court will be given over almost
entirely to the hearing of civil actions
and cases in which murder is alleged.

ARREST DoNLoN IN MILWAUKEE.
Eenosha Man Wanted on Charge of
Wife Abandonment Arrested in
Milwaukee This Morning.

G. J. Donlon, formerly well known as
cigar manufactures in Kenosha, was
arrested in Milwaukee early this morn
ing on a warrant charging him with
the abandonment of his wife and three
minor children in Kenosha. The war
rant was issued in the Municipal Court
here on the complaint of Mrs. Augusta
Donlou, who alleged that her husband
abandoned her and the children On the
10th of January. Friends of Donlon
claim that he has been suffering from a
nervous breakdown and on account of
this breakdown he was sent to a hos
pital some time ago. Members of the
Kenosha police department. were sent
to Milwaukee this afternoon to bring
Donlon to Kenosha and he will be ar
raigned in the Municipal Court on
Monday morning. He was formerly
prominent in the cigar business in Ke-
nosha, but his illness forced him to
give up his work some time ago

S INTERESTED IN CIVIcs
New Appointee to the Commission Has
Shown Deep Interest in Advancing the
Affairs Of City and He Will Add
Strength to the Commission.

Robert S. Cooper, president of the
Cooper Underwear Company and one
Of the best known Of the manufacturers
of the city, will succeed e. G. Simmons
Rs a member Of the, Police and Fire
Commission Of the city. The formal
appointment Of Mr.. Cooper was an
nounced by Mayor Charles Fl. Pfennig
this morning and he has announced his
willingness to serve the city in this ca
pacity. While the law does not pro-
vide that the appointment to this board
be confirmed by the City Council,
Mayor Pfennig will send his appoint
ment to the council on Monday night
and it is certain that confirmation will
be voted without objection.
4he appointment of Mr.. Cooper is one
which will meet with universal APPROX
al in the city and it is thought that
the mayor could have found no better
way Of filing the place left vacant by
Mr. Simmons. Commissioner Cooper is
p rHan with large interests in the city
and he has been a consistent fighter
for betterment of municipal conditions.
Like Mr.. Simmons, he has taken great
interest in the work of the various
boards Of the city and his interest has
been decidedly of the constructive
natune. He has taken great interest
in the municipal politics, not as an
office. holder, but with view of secur-
ing the best possible men in Office He
has served for a year as a member of
the Endustial Board Of Education and
his advice and counsel has been valu-
able in bringing the work of this de-
partment OF the schools to high grade
of efficiency.
Members of the commission expressed
their satisfaction over the appointment
of Mr.. Cooper as member of the
commission and it is certain that
he will be warmly welcomed by the
other members of the board,
Many names were suggested to the
mayor for the position, but after can
vassing all of them he decided that Mr..
Cooper was the best man for the
position.
The new commissioner is named
for the unexpired term of Mr.. Sim
mons and his appointment will expire
in July of 1919.
The members of the commission will
hold their meeting the last Friday
night in March and at this time Mr..
Cooper will be formally received as a
member of the commission.
There is no doubt but that She new
commissioner will have plenty of work
to do as it is thought that during the
coming year ga effort will be made to
work out the plan of building a new
police station for the city. Mr.. Sim
mons was one of the most ardent advo-
Gates of modern equipment for the
police and fire departments and it is GER
tain that Mr.. Cooper will be just as
ardent supporter of modern methods
and modern equipment in his work on

st attribute this condition to Mr.
Winther's position as an engineer in
the commercial car field, and also to
the fact that this new production is
the direct result of his observation
extending over many months of truck
operation in the recent American
expedition into Mexico,
"The conclusions Mr.. Whittier ar
rived at in his observations of the
use of trucks in Mexico were verified
by the observations of United States
army engineers and those of other
truck builders as well.
"The strange part of the whole
matter is that the faults which de-
veloped in The Mexican service, under
what were wartime conditions, are the
very faults which have been experience
ed for years by commercial car users,
but we have in the past laid the blame
of these matters at the wrong door
that of the user, not the builder. Mr..
Whittier, in producing his new military
duty truck, has not only produced
truck which meets military requirements
as we now know them, but he has pro-
duced truck which will stand up.
'F.This truck is beautiful in finish, but
it's greatest beauty is its efficiency, and
believe the advent into commercial
use of military standards of truck CON
struction, as shown by the Mexican ex
petition, will result in cutting motor
hauling costs and the great boom in
truck use."

MAY RECOVER FOR
KENOSHAN'S DEATH
Relatives of Miss Frances Harriet
Newell May Recover from the
City Of Long Beach, Cal.

The administrator of the estate of
the late Miss Frances Harriet Newell,
former well known Kenosha woman,
may recover damages from the city of
Long Beach, CAL, on account of the
tragic death of Miss Newell, who died
from injuries received in the collapse
of municipal pier there in May of
1913. The Supreme Court of Califor-
MIA on Friday handed down decision
in which it held that the city of Long
Beach, California, was liable for the
death of forty people killed in the ac-
cident. Suits aggregating 3,500,000
have been filed against the city of
Long Beach and the decision Of the
court will make possible recovery in
practically all of these suits. 1t is I'M
derstood that no formal suit has been
brought by the relatives of the Keno
sha woman, but it is expected that fol
lowing the holding Of the court such an
action will be filed.
