WOMEN WOULD BE DELEGATES
Wisconsin Women Will Seek Represen-
tation in Delegation to National
Conventions.

The question whether Wisconsin wo-
men will have representation in the
state delegations to the national polit-
zeal conventions, which will meet next
summer to nominate candidates for
president and vice president of the
United States, is one absorbing in
terest and Importance. 1t concerns al
most equally the women Of the state,
the political parties and society at
large.
Although by action of the recent leg
islature, women of Wisconsin may vote
for presidential electors, who in turn
elect the president and vice president,
women may not according to ruling
of the Attorney General, vote for dele
gates to the national conventions at
the election held early in April. This
ruling does not, however, in the minds
of many people, prevent women sitting
as delegates in the conventions. Wis
consin women have in some counties
served as registers Of deeds, county
clerks, etc, although they had no vote
for these offices. There is the highest
authority for believing that women are
eligible to sit as delegates in the ma
tional conventions.

DUNSEY ASKS

Sensational Crime is Recalled Today
When Harry Dunsey Asks Governor
for Communication of Sentence.
At Madison today a request for ex-
ecutive clemency was presented to
Governor Phillip to secure the commu-
tation of sentence of Harry Dunsey,
the Racine young man who with Lawr-
ence Hochguertel was sentenced to Is
years in the penitentiary for assault
ing and robbing Julius Splitter of Ke-
nosha. Last June, Hochguertel was
granted q communication of FIVE years
off his sentence when his case was
brought to the attention Of the gov
ernor and it is believed that this much
will at least be done for Dunsey, as he
appears to be the less guilty of the two.
The request for clemency recalls the
crime which was one of the most SEN
sational ever committed in Kenosha
county. Hochguetrel and Dunsey en-
gagged julius Splitter, a Kenosha taxi
cab driver, to take them to Racine

the city limits, they brutally assaulted
Splitter, Hochguertel striking the Ke-

iron pipe. They left the Kenoshan in
the car for dead but they were cap
tured a short time later and brought
back to Kenosha for trial

Land Increases In Value

The average value of land in Keno
sha county, according to estimates
made by T. A. Polleys, tax commission
er of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company, is now $13S.75. His
annual report on land values for Wis
consin counties shows that there has
been a steady increase in the value Of
land in Kenosha county. In 1909 it
was placed at $4,000 an acre, in 1914
it had crawled up to $111.00, and this
year it is placed at $138.75. Racine
county's acres are estimated to have
an average value of $173.75, as com
pared with $l17.25 FIVE years ago and
$1,000 in 1909.
In the valuation of farming lands
Kenosha is ranked as the ninth county

CITY TO HAVE
A LIVE EAGLE

Kenosha is going to have a real live
golden eagle as the first inhabitant of
the Lincoln Park zoo. This was evil
denced this morning when Mayor
Joachim received letter from Adrian
". DeGuire, the Kenosha man now at
Sunmount, New Mexico, that he had
shipped the bird to Kenosha and that
it was to be a present to the city,
DeGuire in true Daniel Boone style,
captured the eagle several weeks ago
when he slipped up on it and 'fput
salt on it's tall as he explained in a
former communication to Kenosha The
Mayor is not certain that the "lord
Of the air. will like his new habitat,
but he is planning to make as nice a
nest for him as possible. It is prob
able that the eagle will be kept in
the hot house until spring when new
cage will be built for him in Lin
coin Park

mortality from most Of the leading
causes gives this state claim to title
as a Glass A commonwealth, with the
health of citizens one of her highest
concerns.
In measles, Wisconsin and ten other
states showed decreases over 1916.
Wisconsin was lowest Of all the states
in the area with 20 while the average
for the area was 1913.
The third lowest typhoid death rate
is credited to Wisconsin (5.2 per 100,-
600 population). This record is led
only by Minnesota and Massachusetts.
Measures to safeguard purity of water
supplies and to dispose of sewerage
in non-harmful ways are known to be
responsible in a large degree for this
notable achievement.
Fifth place in low tuberculosis NOR
tality was held by this state. Lowest
death rates were: Utah, 43.3; Kansas,
SOS; Washington, 81.7; Vermont, 904;
Wisconsin 9S.3. Maryland's was high

forms of tuberculosis.
Second place in low deaths from
acute nephritis and Bright S disease
goes to Wisconsin. A rate of 69.6 is
given, being bettered only by Washing
ton with 46.1. This rate for the whole
registration area was 1914. 1t is in
creasing from year to year.
In deaths from diarrhoea and en-
teritis lin children under ~. Wiscon-
sin was fourth lowest with a rate of
SO.3.
In violent deaths, which comprise
one Of the leading causes, Monatna was
highest with a rate of 204. Wisconsin
stood second lowest with GIT. North
Carolina held the honor position with
669. In this list suicides are exclfud-
ed.
In influenza deaths in 1917 Wiscon-
sin stood only two points below the
average for the registration states,
with rate of 15.5. Beloit, Wis, held
claim to the second lowest city rate
in the national area, with 5.4, which
was bettered only by Torrington, Con.

before the great epidemic.
In scarlet fever mortality Wisconsin
was third highest, exceeded only by
Montana and Michigan. Massachusetts
had the highest rate in cancer mortality
with 1888, and South Carolina the low

The tables show continuous increase
in this death rate throughout the
country.
OF all the states in the area, Wiscon-

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1919.

The proposal Of the city council to
collect money enough for sewer assess
ments to pay for the sewers might be
considered move along efficiency lines.
Just because some one paid seventy
cents for a foot Of sewer in 1890 seems
to be a mighty poor reason to be
charging the same rate now. If any
other kind of business would attempt
to sell at 1890 prices the bankruptcy
court would get it before the day was
over.

Merchants Wait for Orders.
Kenosha merchants, while preparing
to obey the fuel administration Is order,
were waiting today for official confr-
nation of the order to reach Kenosha.
Horace g. Maddox, secretary Of the
Retailers Association, was in commune
cation late Tuesday with T. w. Proctor,
of Chicago, the federal fuel admins
TRAITOR for the northwest district, who
said that he had not yet received any
confirmation of the drastic fuel order
and that merchants might wait to obey
it until this order officially reached
Kenosha. He declared that he would
notify Secretary Maddox as soon as
the order reached him officially.
Members of the Retailers Association
were pointing out today that the order
would touch every store in Kenosha
and not merely the members of the
Retailers Association. This associa-
tion is planning to adopt the plan used
in Chicago to remain open only from
II O'Clock noon until 6 o clock in the
evening as soon as the order officially
reaches Kenosha.
Ready to Fall in Line.
Representatives Of the merchants de-
clare that they appreciate the efforts
of Mayor Joachim to secure city wide
enforcement of the order but that they
do not believe that they should be ex-
pected to fall in line until the order
officially reaches the city. Today the
stores did not make any changes in the
schedule but they are prepared to OBJ
serve the provisions Of the order on
Thursday in the event that the inves-
tigation shows that they are expected
to close their stores.
