Plan Made to Have Fun Cost OF Pro-

A little added pep is tn be put insoI
the city election in April as 1T was an
nounced up at the city hall this morn
ing that a new effort is TO be made TO {
build the bridge over Nhain stneet and
to build it with the consent and APP
prevail of the people.
Alderman Liner TuSke3son. chairman
of the committee on streets, alleys and
bridges, has asked the Wescatt En-
cheering Company in Chicago, design
ers Of the bridge, to prepare a new call
for bfds for the construction of aII the
work IN connection with the improve
ment OF Main street and it is expected,
that this will be ready for submission.
to the common council not later than
the first meeting in February. It is
then the plan of the committee to ask
bids on the work.
Give People FuIl1nformaslon,
seOtr plan, said Alderman TurkeI,
son this morning, 'tis to submit this
proposition to the people, for referen-
dunn at the coming city election. This

ment for the city with some DEFINITE
idea Of just what the Improvement is
going TO cost. Before the people are
asked to give their sanction to the plan
we are going to have the plans and
specifications submitted to bids and
when we 60 to the people we will be
able to tell them just what the proposed
change Of the map of Main street is
going to cost. "
Guesses Killed Former Project.
The chairman intimated that it was
the fact that the officials guessed al
costs which killed the former plans for
the construction of the bridge and the
Strengthening Of Main street 81 be-
heve the people want this improve
ment, continued the chairman, but
am convinced that they want to know
just what it is going to cost before
they vote to issue bonds to carry out
the work. -
Tt is said that many of the members
of the council are ready to support the
movement to refer the bridge project
to the people and that an active cam
paign will be made to secure the issu-
ance of bonds to carry out the pro-
ject. Under bids taken some time ago
the cost of the eompleted project would
have been little over half million
dollars. Since that time the. steel strike
has been settled and it is believed
that even lower bids for the coEAp4eted
work can be secured
No Interferenc from Commission
It is not expected that the Wisconsin,
Railroad Commission or the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric Company Will interfere
in any way with the carrying out of
the project. The manager for the cleo
trio company has already informed the
aldermen that his company is ready to
go ahead with the part Of the wOrlk as
signed to this company and it is
thought that all troubles over the
amount to be paid by the company can
be taken of at conference.
1t is also declared that local property
owners directly interested in the plan
will be willing to make concessions IN
order to have the work go forward

OPENS Veins
TRIES TO Die
John Taylor, Cock at Twin
Lakes Ice House Gets Tired
Of Life but Lands
in Jail.
ALL The RESULT OF A JOKE
Man Claims that Others About the Ice
House Had Threatened to Lynch
Him and That He Decided to
Beat Them to It.
ALL The RESULT OF A JOKE

The practical joke is still working
havoc in Kenosha county AS result
of one Of them, John Taylor, 80 years
old, claiming New Bedford, Mass, as
his home, is in cell at the county jail
recovering from two attempts to take
his own life. He is going to get well
but the officials fear that his mental
condition is such that it will be neees-
sary to have him examined and posi-
bly, he will be sent to a state instltu-
toin for treatment.
Taylor was employed as a cook at
one of the ice houses on Lake Eliza
beth, near Twin Lakes. and he was a
very sensitive fellow. Other men en-
ployed at the ice houses discovered this
fact and they decided to play joke
on him. There was mention made of a.
horrible crime against a small boy and
a declaration that there was going to
be lynching. Taylor could not tell
Just what it was all about and the in
vestigation Of Sheriff Meyer is as yet
incomplete.
Thought Lynching Planned.
At any rate Tsyler va Convinced
that the men at the ice house were GO
ing to lynch him. He saw the rope
and heard the story of the plans and
on Monday night he left his galley and
went to his room and slashed his throat
with a razor. He did not sever the
iugular vein and surgeons who were
called in were able to sew up the
wound. Then came more taunts from
the iokers and Taylor decided that he
would have to show the rest of them
that he was game" and on Tuesday
afternoon he opened the veins Of his
wrists with the same razor with which
he had attempted to cut his throat.
Then the joke began to get too serious
for even the workers at the ice house
and Sheriff Meyer was called and Tay-
Tor was brought to the county Jail here
for safe keeping.
Sobs AS He Tells Story.
Taylor was suffering from great pain
from his wounds when he was brought
to the county jail, but he was able to
tell his story to Undersheriff Ritter
and he sobbed as he declared that he
had been guilty of no wrongdoing at
any time. The officials are making an
effort to get into touch with some of.
the relatives of the man. Men at the
ice house declared that. there was no
basis for any of the stories told about
him to the best of their knowledge and
no report of any crime had been sent
to the county officials. The sheriff and
his aids are making further investiga
tions in the Twin Lakes region and it
is possible that some of the jokers may
be arrested. +.

Forty Prominent Men of the
City to Have Charge Of
Collection of Funds for
Near East Relief.
ADOPT TWO HUNDRED WAITS
Two Hundred People in the City Will
BE Asked to Pledge Five Dollars a
Month to Lift Burden of War from
Shoulders Of Armenians.

Prominent men Of Kenosha heard the
call Of the suffering people of Armenia
and other portions of the Near East on
Tuesday evening when they gathered
at the Mayor $ Office in response to a.
call Of Mayor Joachim, chairman Of the
Kenosha committee, and plans were out
lined to have Kenosha do her full share
in this great work of humanity. Pres
emit at the meeting were many of the
industrial and professional leaders Of
the city and all Of them pledged them
selves to do their part to raise the en-
tire quota asked from Kenosha. Mayor
John G. Joachim was elected as chair
man of the Kenosha relief committee,
the other officers being, secretary,
Ralph S. Kingsley, and treasurer,
Charles G. Brown.
TO Adopt Two Hundred Orphans.
Two hundred men in Kenosha who be-
heve that a child has a right to a
chance to exist, are going to be asked
to adopt this number of Armenian
children and save them from death To
do this means AN annual contribution OF
sixty dollars for each child.
Each of the forty men named on a
special committee to have charge Of the
collection of the fund in the city, is to
be held responsible for the support Of
FIVE of these Armenian children. Pledge
cards will be sent out in the near future
to all members Of this general commit
tee. There will be nothing to prevent
any Kenoshan taking under his wing a
whole family of orphans if he sees it
possible for him to contribute this much
to the fund but the idea of the COM
nittee was to Distribute as far as pos
sible this call for relief.
Kenosha Armenians to Help.
Armenians living in Kenosha, who
have for years been sending all the
money they could raise to aid the suf-
fering in their own country have an
nounced that they will make new sacri-
fees to aid the fund being raised here
and it is expected that portion of the
twelve thousand dollars asked from Ke-
ncsha will be secured directly from the
Armenians now residing here. The
list of the members of the committee
of forty in charge of the big cam
paign follows:

CLAMP DOWN LID

Action Of Congressman
Leaves Slight Hope for ke-
nosha Appropriation Dur
ing Present Session.
COMMANDMENT TO CONTINUE

Kenosha's chances of getting a
$600,oO0 appropriation from Congress
for a new post office building, did. not
look bright today as a message from
Washington announces that members of
Congress have reached an agreement
that no special post office bills will be
passed at this session. The agreement
was reached in consideration of the
big project for the building of the new
west side Chicago post Office. No men
tion was made of any other project but
the message from Washington declar-
cd that it was understood that action
on the demand for the Chicago appro.
priation was an indication Of what
would be done with other similar
appropriations.
