ANOTHER BOAT
TO STOP HERE
Nicholson Transportation
Co. Of Detroit Sends
Boat Here.
LIKE THE LAKELAND

Kenosha learned late Friday after
noon that it was to become port on
another lake freighter line when a
representative of the Nicholson Trans
portation company of Detroit, was in
Kenosha making arrangements for the
freighters Of the line to be egularly
routed to Kenosha and is expected to
help in the carrying Of the automo-
bile and brass beds from this city
Before leaving Kenosha the repre-
sentative made arrangements for the
landing of the boat regularly at the
Baldwin and Simmons docks. He ex-
planned his proposition to representa-
tives Of the Simmons company and the
Nash Motors company and declared
that the line expected to carry only the
finished product Of these companies
bound for lake or eastern ports or for
the export trade.
Is an Established Line.
The Nicholson Transportation com
pany is an established company and
has been engaged in the lake traffic
for some time. Its promise to dock at
Kenosha is evidence that the expert
ment of lake shipping started several
weeks ago has been successful and has
attracted other steamship companies to
this city to get share Of the bust
ness.
Several months ago arrangements
were made whereby the steamer
Lakeland" would come to the Keno
sha dock to take on cargoes Of auto
mobiles and beds for eastern ports.
This boat has already made two trips
to Kenosha since the opening Of the
season. It is not the object of either
one of these companies to enter into
the general lake traffic business in
Kenosha but merely to help transport
the large output Of some of the fac
tories Of this city.

WAUKEGAN'S IRE
DRAWN BY sign.
Kenosha Sign at Wauke-
gan's Door Draws Fire
from Waukegan.
" ALL A MISTAKE"
Here is a nice kettle of fish.

Here is nice kettle of fish.
The "Waukegan Daily Sun" and sew
eral merchants Of Waukegan are all
"het up over a sign which for year,
it is alleged, has been at the door of
Waukegan calling attention to Keno
sha. The sign was placed on Wash
ington street in Waukegan at the west
limits of the city more than year
ago by a prominent tire company. 1t
is large open book sign with dis
tortful reference to the city Of Keno
sha.n
The "Waukegan SUM- more than a
year ago took matters into its own
hands. A letter was written to the
tire company claiming that while Ke-
nosha might like the advertising which
would come from association with
Waukegan, the Illinois city did not
like the combination.
A nico letter came from the tire
company in reply. 1t explained that
the people who had put up the sign had
mistaken Waukegan for Kenosha and
that the company would mmediately
make arrangements to move the sign
to Kenosha A year, however, has
passed and no one has come to move
the sign. Under the lead of ''The Wau-
kegan Daily Sun" number Of people
there are up in arms and declare that
they will take matters into heir own
hands and remove the sign at once un-
less speedy action is promised.
At Kenosha the story has caused no
end Of merriment. Kenoshans are. GER
tain that the men who placed the sign
must have imbibed more than Zone
half of one per cent" to have mistaken
Waukegan for Kenosha. They fail to
understand why Waukegan cannot APP
preciate real compliment and inti-
mate that if any objection to the sign
was to be made it should have eman-
ated from Kenosha.

FINDS BROTHER
DEAD in BED
Charles Shostak Found
Dead in Bed by Brother
at Garden ST. Home.
HEART DISEASE CAUSE

Charles Shostak, aged forty-eight
years, native Of Poland, but resi-
dent Of Kenosha for more than eleven
years, was found dead in bed at his
room this morning. The discovery that
the man had died in mystery during
the night, was made by his brother,
William Shostak, who had slept in the
same bed during the night. When the
brother awakened this morning just
after six o'clock he got out Of bed
and began dressing for the days work.
Believing that his brother was over
sleeping he went the bed and started
to shake him. AS he took hold of his
hand he discovered that he was cold in
death. Shostak hurriedly notified the
police and the coroner was called along
with physicians. The investigation in
Dictated that the man had been dead
for several hours. The remains were
removed to the Mischler mortuary.
There seems to be little doubt, ac-
cording to physicians, that Shostak
died from an attack Of acute heart
failure, but to assure themselves Of
the nature Of the malady post NOR
tenn examination was held this after
noon at the Mischief morgue. No
report from this had been filed at a
late hour this afternoon.
Worked All Day Monday.
Charles Shostak, who was employed
at the plant of the American Brass
company, had worked all day Monday
and had returned to the boarding
house about half past six o'clock in
the evening. He ate a hearty supper
and retired just after eight O'clock APP
parently in the best of health. He
was not complaining in any way. The
brother retired shortly afterward and
he told the police officers who inves-
tigated the case, that he had heard
nothing during the night which would
indicate that his brother was i'll.
Shostak came to this country eleven
years ago and had lived most Of the
time since then in Kenosha He was
widely known to the Polish born resi-
dents Of the city. His wife died in
Poland several years ago and he has
one son, Marka ShostQk, still residing
in Poland. Arrangements for the
funeral were not completed today.
Two brothers are in this country, one
Of them residing in Kenosha and the
other in Racine.

EQUITY LEAGUE
FAILS TOENDORSE
Conference at Union Grove
Fails to Give Favor to
Any Candidates.
FRANK HOLT PRESIDES
Fight Shy of Prohibition Cues
ton and Name Committee to
Confer with Labor Leaders.

Representatives of the League Of
Equity from Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties met for a conference over at
Union Grove on Monday afternoon but
the expected endorsement of candi-
dates for Office failed to materialize
and the conference adjourned without
recommending anyone for office. F. T..
OF the conference and it was under
stood when the adjournment was tax
en- that a second conference would be
called later.
A platform largely along the lines
followed at similar meetings in the
state was adopted and it will be sug-
gested to the state convention when it
meets in Milwaukee. A personal poll
Of the delegates present indicated that
they favored Atty Gen. John j Blaine
for governor and H. A. Cooper for
congress. The question Of naming
county tickets IN the two counties was
left to the executive committees with
power to act. A. G. Stoxen Of Bassetts
Station was named to represent the
county as a delegate to the state con-
vention to be held June 10th in Madi-
son, Wis.
Thirty-six delegates from the vari-
Gus towns in Racine and Kenosha
and they showed lively interest in
the proceedings but it was admitted
that the conference was something Of
disappointment to the promoters.
Not Ready for Platform.
The men present at the conference
read over the platform for state par
ty as proposed by the League of Equi-
ty, but they failed to give endorsement
to the platform. The planks dealing
with prohibition caused considerable
discussion among the delegates, but it
was evident that there was no major
ity opinion among the delegates and
they fought shy of going on record
either for or against the eighteenth
amendment. It was evident that the
league expects to gain its strength
from union of the farmers and the
laboring men and that any decision on
prohibition might prove dangerous for
the future Of the proposed organiza-
ton.
Committees to Confer.
It was the sentiment of the confer
.ence that the support Of the league
would be given to men whose records
in Office and whose opinions as stated
to the voters best correspondent with
the league principles.
Chairman Holt before the conference
adjourned named committee which
will confer with leaders of labor in
Racine and Kenosha county and seek
to find common ground on which the
farmers and laboring men Of the two
counties may unite.
1t was said that the lists Of support
ers. Of the league submitted at the
conference indicated that the league
would have considerable political pres
tige in the two counties at the coming
elections.
