DEALERS REUSED
BY PARKING Law
Kenosha Retailers Have
Spirited Discussion Of
New Parking Plan.
TOULME IS PRESENT

Members of the Kenosha Retailers
association showed their interest in
the proposed ordinance for the estab-
lishment Of stringent rule against
the long parking Of automobiles in the
business district, when they voted at
their meeting on Tuesday evening in
the Chamber Of Commerce assembly
hall, to investigate the plan more
thoroughly and take steps to safeguard
the interests Of the merchants, what
ever these may be discovered. to be.
There was an enthusiastic group Of
dealers present at the meeting and
they Joined in spirited debate over
the advisability Of the proposed ordi-
nance.
The merchants we're not unanimous
in their decision on the law but the
majority believed that it would work
great hardship on the merchants to
establish five-minnte parking rule
unless the city established convenient
parking places in the downtown dis
trict such as the Pacini lot or part
Of Market square.
Name Committee to Act.
The retailers finally named com
mittee which is to visit every dealer
which would be affected by the rule
and secure his opinion on the ordi-
nance. The report will then be sub
mitted to the retailers and later every
member Of the council will be visited
by the committee to inform him Of
the action of the dealers.
A nominating committee with Charles
Goodman as chairman was also named
to prepare a slate Of delegates and al
ternates to represent the Kenosha Re
tailers association at the coming state
convention in Milwaukee. They are to
report at the next meeting when the
election will be held.
Dealers Greet Secretary Toulme.

the meeting was short address by

to the city the use Of the property at
the corner of Chicago and South
streets for use for parking space and
the city will make an effort to secure
the use of the Charles Pacini property
at the corner of Maip and South
streets. It is planned to have lights
properly installed at these two places
and the city will employ men to have
charge of guarding parked automobiles.
The matter of carrying out the sug-
gestions in regard to the use Of the
two places was placed in the hands Of
the committee on judiciary and ordi-
nances with power to act
Put letters on Palmists.
The council put heavy letters on the
people who practice fortune telling
and palmistry and read the future by
various plans known to "astrologers, 7
as the ordinance Off the regulation Of
"peering into the future" was passed
by a unanimous vote of the council.
1t provides that no fortune teller,
palmist or astrologer may work at his
or her trade in the city without being
licensed and the fee for the license is
placed at $25 month. The ordinance
provides a fine Of $50 for violation Of
the ordinance with a jail sentence as
the alternative.
It is believed that the proposed IL
cense of $25 a month will practically
drive all Of such people from the city.
It was declared that it would be par
ticularly applicable to the gypsy tribes
giving the police of the city new and
easy manner of getting rid Of such
people.
Police Ask More Pay.
The members Of the police depart
ment sent a unanimous petition to the
council, asking for an increase in pay.
They asserted that the demand was
necessary on account of the constantly
increasing cost of living. The sched-
ule as proposed was: Assistant chief.
5000 month; captains, sergeants.

BLACK RIOTS RACE
IN TEXAS VILLAGE
Dusky Rifemen Fire on Whites After
NEGROES Have Been Burned
at the Stake.
(By United Press)


Paris, Texas Race clashes in which
more than hundred shots were fred,
broke out here today following the
lynching Of Herman and Irwin Arthur,
negro brothers, who murdered J. H.
Hodges and his son, William and hid
their bodies in an abandoned negro
hut near Paris, where they were found
Friday evening. An alleged confession
wrung from the negroes shortly before
their bodies began scorching, said:
1--WE didn't want to work on Saturday
and Mr.. Hodges said we could either
work or move off the place. We didn't
move and Mr.. Hodges and his son
came to the house to make US move"
The two negroes were burned to death
after mob had stormed the jail and
gained entry to their cells. They were
taken to the fair grounds where an
oil-soaked wood-pile had been prepared
at the foot Of fag-pole. Later their
charred bodies were tied to automo-
biles and dragged through the streets
of the negro quarter. The latter out
rage fired the blacks to revolt. Auto
mobiles returning from the lynching
through the black-belt were fired upon
by dusky snipers barricaded behind
ramparts Of stones and broken furni-
ture. The mayor and the fire chief,
who went to the negro quarter to quiet
the blacks were met by a volley of
rife bullets They escaped injury and
fled to the town square. A mob Of
negroes hastily formed and followed
them. They were met in the square
by a detachment of whites all armed
More than hundred shots were ex-
changed before the negroes were re-
pulsed and driven to their homes in
the black belt. State guard troops
have been summoned from Houston to
put Paris under martial law.

Rocky Road to Dublin Is
Threatened in Petitions
by Property Owners.
NO CAUSE FOR DELAY
Property Owners Hope Council
Win Provide for Repaving of
Main Street at Once.

The Rocky Road to Dublin" may
become only bitter memory to Keno
sha people as it is announced this
morning that two petitions have been
placed in circulation demanding the
repaving of Main street from the
bridge to South street and asking that
the work of repaving be completed this
year, regardless of the cost of mater
ials and labor Alderman Fred Palm
green of the streets and alleys COM
mittee of the council announced that
the petitions for the repaving of the
street had been placed in circulation
and it is said that a lot of the prop
erty owners are ready to sign the pc
titions and demand immediate action
on the part Of the council.
Street in Rough Condition.
For the Main street Of a town The
old Rocky Road" is in horrible condi-
ton. 1t is declared, however, that the
orgy Of sewer building will be COM
pleted within the next few days and
that there will then be nothing to pre-
vent permanent paving of the street
with reasonable assurance that it
will not be torn up before the asphalt
on top of the brick has had a chance
to set. The men employed by the
street railway company have about
completed their work of lacking up the
old rails agar and thev have e9pend-
ed considerable time and money in put
ting the brick back into position but
it is not thought that the railway com
pany will interpose any objection to-
the tearing out of this work and re-
placing it with permanent roadway.
Palmgreen OF His Plan.
Alderman Palmgreen admitted on
Tuesday evening that he had aband-
oned his idea of asking for the widen
ing of the street by taking a small
portion off each sidewalk. at is evil
dent that the rest Of the people do not
believe the carrying out of such plan
would be of any value" said Palm
green, "and am willing to permit
some of the wise ones to point out
better way to make the street wider.
Certainly something should be done
and if they do not like the plan have
suggested, they should propose bet
ter one" The foot-and-a-half plan was
not even presented to the council at
its meeting on Tuesday night.
Suggests New Plan.
Some effort has been made to secure
individual action to widen the street.
The mayor on Tuesday urged Adolph
Epstein of Epstein Brothers to set the
fashion for the rest Of the street by
setting back the building line for the
proposed new Epstein building dis
tance of five feet. eff we could just
get every property owner putting in
new front to agree to set it back five
feet" said the mayor, at would not be
long until we would have carried out
the plan to make the street wider"
Members of the council held that
there would be no cause to hold up the
repaving of the street for the compile
tion of the bridge as the lines for the
street will not be affected at any point
south Of Pearl street.

The city council at its meeting on
Tuesday evening voted to put the city
of Kenosha solidly behind the protest
of any increase in the rates to be
charged for gas to the people Of the
city and by a unanimous vote the coun-
Gil directed that the city attorney, the
mayor, and the chairman of the coun-
ell gas and light committee advise the
railroad commission that the city de-
sired to be heard before any petition
for rehearing was granted on the
petition of the Wisconsin Gas & Elec-
trio company for increased rates for
gas Mayor Joachim declared that in
creases which nd been granted the
company were too large in comparison
with the service rendered eve mast
as city fight this matter out for the
people, declared Mayor Joachim. 1T
Is matter in whsch the city is inter
ested and we must be properly repre-
sented and contest any proposed in
crease in the rates"
AS yet the petition for rehearing
on the rates has not been filed by the
company, but the commission will be
advised that the city will protest
against any increased rate. 1t is ex-
pected. that. officials Of other cities will
Join in the movement to prevent fur
Their increases in gas rates until the
company shall give assurance that the
quality of service shall be such as to
warrant the present rates.
Limit Parking Privilege.
The council without division went
on record as being favorable to limit
ing parking Of automobiles in the
downtown district of the city when it
adopted the report Of the judiciary and
ordinance committee which provided
that no parking of automobiles should
be allowed on Main strict from the
bridge to South street; Market, Park,
Wisconsin and South streets, Between
Main and Church streets; Church
street, from Park place to Market
square; and the north sides of Market,
Park Wisconsin and South streets, be-
tween Maiden Lane and Main streets.
While the committee report was adopt
ed unanimously, the city council will
be called upon to pass an ordinance
before the provisions Of the report can
be properly enforced 1t is expected
that an ordinance providing for the
proposed limitations will be ready for
the consideration Of the council at the
next meeting.
Mayor in Heated Debate.
The mayor was rather vigorous in
his discussion of the plan for limiting
the use of the streets as parking places
for automobiles. "You aldermen are
poing to be buttonholed," said Ellis
Honor" "and when these fellows come
after you, just tell them that you are
eoing to do something for the benefit
Of the people Of Kenosha, even if it
does interfere with some Of the pri-
vate interests Of few downtown bust
ness men"

MAN NEAR DEATH
Chicago Man in Fit Of Jeal-
ousy Tries Suicide at Sill
verlake Resort Tuesday.
SOAP SAVED HIS LIFE

The village of Silverlake had the
excitement which comes with real
domestic tragedy on Tuesday night
when man who had come to one Of
the resorts at the lake, took a dose
Of Paris green. He is declared to
have swallowed two tablespoonfuls of
the potato bug poison and he was
found in room at one of the resorts
writing in pain and near to death A
generous dose of soap suds given by a
local doctor, is believed to have placed
the man out Of danger. The deepest
secrecy was maintained in regard to
the identity Of the man and as to the
story Of his. troubles. It was declared
today that the man was out OF danger.
At Silverlake it was said that the
mans name was ]. L. Herrick and that
his home was in Chicago. He was
about thirty years of age and his wife
"a decidedly comely young woman, had
come out to Silverlake and had ac-
copied employment as waitress in the
resort in question. The man followed
her from Chicago and it was declared
that he was insanely jealous. On
Tuesday he demonstrated with the
young woman on account of alleged
friendliness between her and one Of
the guests at the resort. The young
woman protested that the husband had
no cause for complaint. Later he
went to theiD room and took the Paris
green. The man at first refused to
take an antidote of soap suds but he
finally reconsidered and drank the
liquid. It was said that the young
woman would take her jealous husband
back to Chicago, probably today, if he
is able to travel.

Take to Courts
To Defeat Suffrage
(By Associated Press. J

Washington Proceedings asking
that Bainbridge Colby, Secretary Of
State, be enjoined from issuing a
amendment to the constitution rati-
fed were instituted today in the Dis
trict of Columbia Court by Charles

the Constitutional League of that city.
The papers seek also to prevent Astor-
ney General Palmer from enforcing
the amendment and ask him to show
cause on July 18th why the amend
ment should not be declared improper

that it is said that the ratification in
West Virginia was secured by fraud
and that the proposed ratification by
Tennessee would also be illegal. The
attempt to block the amendments
through the courts came as COM
plete surprise to its friends.
