DEDIEMAR SAYS
mot THIS YEAR
Tells Friends They Are Too
Late to Put Him
into Race.
OTHER BEE is BUZZING

Benjamin M. DeDiemar, clerk of the
Circuit Court, is not candidate for
mayor of Kenosha this year, He made
this final announcement to commit
tee of his friends who visited him
this morning ready to take out his
petitions and see that they were cir
culated and filed by Monday.
~ am not going to run for mayor"
said Mr.. DeDiemar. "You know that
have this congressional bee buzzing
in bonnet and if should be elected
mayor it might interfere with my be-
ing candidate for member of con-
gress next fall" The genial clerk
smiled as he made the announcement.
"0f course" he continued, "if my
friends had come around some time
ago before things were all set, might
have been rip-roaring candidate to-
day, but things are all set and do not
care to play the dark horse part"
The announcement was regarded as
cleaning up the situation so far as the
primary for mayor is concerned and it
is expected that the race will be be-
tween Mayor Joachim, Charles E. Tur-
mock and Samuel Walkup.
"Has DeDiemar decided yet" was the
one interesting question heard about
the city hall this morning and there
was considerable relief for a tense
situation when it was announced that
the clerk was not in the race.

Plan Speaking
for Bridge Plan

The committee, under the leadership
of former Mayor Dan o. Head, in
charge of naming two minute speakers
to speak on the bridge question in the
theatres, met at the Elks Club this af-
ternoon and it was planned to outline
a full schedule of speeches for the
last two weeks of the campaign. As
the plans are to thoroughly cover the
city, it will require large number of
speakers and many prominent men of
the city have been asked to join in the
campaign.
The bids on the bridge opened by
the street assessment committee on
Friday are not regarded as highly en-
couraging as they indicate that tn
cost of the improvement when all T.
contributing charges are met will
somewhere in the neighborhood
100000, The Greiling Brothers co
pany was the lowest bidder on
work and the contract offered by
company will run pretty close to S.
600. Three bids for the work were
fered and all of them were more
500 600 higher than the bids
formerly.

SUITORS COME
ALSO LAW SUIT
Miss Emily Bagdonius Sues
Charles Dargis for
$1,000 Damages.
TILTED = GETS EVEN

Too many suitors are after the hand
of Miss Emily Bagdonius, a west side
young lady Of Kenosha.
This was revealed in one of the
strangest cases ever brought in the
Municipal Court in Kenosha this
morning when the young lady in ques-
tion sued Charles Dargis, also of Ke-
nosha, for one thousand dollars on
charges that he had damaged her repu-
tation and had caused her great hui
initiation and inconvenience. Fearing
that Dargis might attempt to leave
the city civil warrant was issued this
morning for his arrest and he was ex-
pected to be arrested early this af-
ternoon at the Nash Motors Company
where he has been employed.
At one o'clock when Deputy Sheriff
Peter Schulien went to the Nash
Motors Company to arrest the man, it
was learned that he was nowhere to be
found. A search is being made for
him and the officials hope to have him
in custody before evening.
Claims He Was Tilted.
The complaint reveals one of the
strangest stories of love and jealousy
that Kenosha has known in many
years. 1t declares that Dargis several
months ago showed his attentions in
very marked degree to Miss Bag
donius and when she refused them, he
laid clever plot to get even.
It alleges that Dargis inserted in a
Chicago Lithuanian newspaper an adj
vertisement describing the Kenosha
Lithuanian woman "as comely young
woman with fortune of $4,000 who
was anxious to become married"
Then Came the Suitors.
The complainant declares that fol-
lowing the appearance of the adver-
tisement she Immediately became pop
ular. Letters came by the scores from
Chicago and some of the insistent
suitors came to Kenosha and were
waiting for her at the door of her
home. She declares that the adver-
tisement has damaged her character
and caused her no end Of inconvenience
and humiliation in denying the atten-
tions of the unwelcome suitors.
No definite date has yet been set
for the hearing of the case, but it
is expected to be called in short time.

HANSEN ADMITS
RACINE CRIME
Homer Hansen Arrested
Here Admits Part in
Robbery.
BURLINGTON GIRL HELD

Homer Hansen, twenty-one year old
alias Alex Homer and resident of
Kenosha for the past two weeks, was
arrested Friday by Detective Rock and
Kautenburg and later turned over to
Sheriff Lutter of Racine county to ans
wer a charge of assault and robbery.
Hansen made partial admission OF
his guilt to the Kenosha police Of
ficers following his arrest and he was
expected to go into court in Racine
and plead guilty to charges there,
either late today or Monday.
The arrest of Hansen was brought
about by the confession of a young
woman, who is now in Jail in Racine
and who is declared to be well known
to Kenosha people. With man whose
name has not been revealed and a
woman known as Elinor Mutchie, said
to be from Burlington, and another
woman whose identity has not been
made known, Hansen is alleged to have
met Swan Nord, Racine taxicab
driver in a Racine saloon.

North Side Store
Menaced by Fire
Variety Store of William Creedon, Fl
North Main Street, Narrowly
Escapes Destruction.

Fire, which threatened to destroy
the stock of goods of William Cree
don, n North Main street, was ex-
tinguished by the prompt work Of
the fire department shortly before nine
o'clock this morning.
William Creedon conducts a variety
store at 81 North Main street the
greatest part of his stock being leather
and leather goods. Holes have been
bored in the lower window sash to
ventilate the front part of the store
so that the ice will not freeze on the
glass. But the holes had become
stopped up by the snow which had
blown into them and CONCEALED into
ice. The front window was filled with
shoes, wooden socks, canvas gloves,
rawhide shoe strings and number of
other infammable articles and for pro-
lection during the night, at closing
time last night, had been covered with
newspapers. When Mr.. Creedon opened
up this morning he took a red hot
poker and tried to thaw the ice out of
the holes in the window sash.
After working at this for awhile he
began to carry out the ashes from a
coal stove in a rear room and when
he returned from one Of the trips to
the ash pile he discovered the whole
front of the store in blaze. In at
tempting to extinguish the fire with
out notifying the fire department, the
flames got under such Roadway that it
was necessary to send in an alarm.
The fire department responded prompt
ly and thus saved the thousands of
dollars worth Of stock from being
totally destroyed.
"Had the department been ten
minutes late" said Mr.. Creedon, "the
whole store would have been destroyed.
The back room is filled with explosive
matter, such as shoe polish, oils for
the treating of leather, and such things
which would have rendered it impos-
sible to save any part of the stock if
the flames had once reached it."
1t is impossible, at this time, to es-
innate the loss, but it will amount to
several hundreds of dollars.

HOPE FOR SOME
NEW ROAD WORK
Highway Committee Hopes
Commission Order Will
Be Modified.
DECIDE NEXT WEEK

Letters are being sent out by the
Wisconsin Good Roads association in
terpreting the recent action of the
state highway commission in an
nouncing a reduction of work on high
ways for the coming season. The as
ISOLATION holds that the work on the
roads will be only partially curtailed
and that the curtailment will be linn
tied entirely to the building of con-
crete roads and that no interference
will be made in connection with the
building of gravel roads.
The association estimates that it will
be possible to build 1870 of the con-
crete roads planned, but this is not
the view of the state commission.
Where contracts have already been let
the work will go forward but the COM
mission has declined to make new con-
tracts. On this basis practically all
of the new work planned for Kenosha
county will be eliminated. The road
committee of the county will be in
session sometime next week for a
further discussion of the matter.
1t is estimated that under the old
contracts and with the cement already
allotted to Wisconsin the state can
build lao miles of concrete roads this
year. The mileage for Kenosha coun-
ty will be about two miles. limited to
the Geneva and Woodworth roads.
Revamping Plans for Work.
Highway Commissioner John Herzog
is revamping his plans for work in the
county now and at the same time is
working out new plans for the patrol
of the roads during the season. 1t is
planned to give especial attention to
the maintenance of all the roads in
the county. The county will have in
the neighborhood of $4,000 to spend
for road maintenance and it is expect
ed that this will be sufficient to keep
all of the roads in excellent condition
during the season.
The work on the roads will be start
ed just as soon as the weather will
permit and the applications for men
to have charge of the various districts
are now being received. Following the
road school on next Wednesday, more
definite plans will be announced.

Massacre Costs
Turks Boundary

London-There is a likelihood that
the Cilician massacre will cost Turkey
of what the treaty of peace would
otherwise have left her, according to
expressions heard in inner circles at
Whitehall, where allied foreign minis
tiers continue framing the Turkish
settlement. The proposed Western
boundary from Enos, on the Aegean
sea, to Vida on the Black sea, may be
abardcned and the line may be drawn
na;ca further east. This would limit
Turkish possessions in Europe to the
marrow peninsula north Of the sea of
Marmora.
