IWO License Plates
on All Motor Cars
Inspector Bell Brings Warning to All
Automobile Owners Wanting to
Escape Fines.

The state Of Wisconsin is going to
enforce the license plate law to the
letter according to announcements
brought to Kenosha today by Homer
G. Bell, state automobile license in
spector, fair-player and gentleman.
Unwilling to attack without warning,
he is issuing the following ultimatum
before beginning Prosecutions in Ke-
nosha county:
There are hundreds of moto, cars
and trucks being operated throughout
the state with only one number plate
attached. In many cases a plate has
been lost on the road, or has become
loose and is taken off by the driver ana
placed under the seat of the machine /;
but number of instances have come
to the attention of the authorities
where more than one car was being
operated upon one set of license plates.
Determined to check such abuses of
the license law, the department of
state has instructed inspectors to
prosecute all cases where cars are
found operating on only one license
plate, unless the driver can show evil
dence that duplicate plate mas been
applied for.
"The law provides that a license
plate must be firmly attached to the
front and rear of each motor car or
truck, in a conspicuous place, and kept
reasonably clean. BY furnishing salts
factory proof that a license plate has
been lost, duplicate plate may be
obtained from the secretary of state
upon payment of fee of 80 cents"

NEW DATA FOR DIoGENEs.
atistics on Honesty Show that WO-
men are More so than Men.


BY United Press
New York-f Diogenes were still
running around with lantern look
ing for an honest man he would find
him among these classifcations: Fat,
married or hot tempered
This statement was made today by
an authority B. Joyce, presi-
dent of the National Surety company,
whose business it is to insure mems
honesty.
Joyce's concern furnishes bonds for
employees in positions of trust and he
pointed out, IF it were not for the
fact that most persons are Inherently
honest we couldn't continue in bust
ness"
married men, because of the re-
sponsibility Of their families, are more
honest than bachelors in the ratio of
about six to one" Joyce said
Fat men are naturally of more
contented disposition and are less liza
BILE to prey on society.
"Hot tempered men usually find an
outlet for their harmful impulses in
unrestrained language and rarely take
what doesn't belong to them"
AS regards races, Joyce placed the
Chinese first in honesty, with Anglo
Saxons next. Women, he said, appar-
entity are superior to men from the
standpoint of honesty, seldom stealing
unless prompted by love or actual pow
erty.

new COAL PRICE
HELD TOO HIGH
Committee Rejects Bids
for Coal to Make up
''Coal Pile"
WATER BOARD ACTS
Baldwin Gets Contract for 1900
TtOns of Coal to Be Used at
Municipal Water Plant.

The decision of the city to put in a
coal pile" TO supply demands of the
needy people of the city during the
coming winter, went into the discard
this morning after the pauper commit
tee had made an investigation into coal
bids received on Monday evening and
the committee decided that rather than
buy at the price named in the bids a
chance would be taken in buying coal
at carload lots. The committee had
asked for bids on two thousand tons
Of lump coal with a preference for
Illinois coal. The lowest bid received
was bid of 1852 a ton for Harris
burg three-inch nut coal. This was
from the Badger Fuel and Supply com
pany. The committee held this morn
ing that the price was not sufficiently
attractive to cause the city to make
extensive purchases at this time
There was not wide variation of the
bids for the coal and the price ranged
from $7.38 for West Virginia coal de-
livered by boat to the docks to 1852
for the Illinois coal, r. O. B., Kenosha
1t was held by the committee that a
handling price of a dollar a ton must
be added to this price. Indiana coal
was offered at rate of $5.73 ton,
but this bid did not appear to be at
tractive. 1t had been expected that the
coal could be purchased in two thous-
and ton lot at price much lower than
in carload lots. The members of the
committee declared that the price
asked at this time was higher than
had been paid for small purchases Of
coal in recent weeks.
Baldwin Gets Water Works Contract.
The Baldwin company of Kenosha
was awarded the contract for the 1900
tons of coal to be used by the water
department during the coming year at
contract price of $587 for West Vir-
GINA splint screenings. The coal is to
be delivered at the docks in Kenosha
and tits claimed that delivery at the
docks will result in a large saving in
handling charges. $5.37 was the best
price at which the Illinois coal was
offered to the water board and it was
the idea of the board that this price
with handling charges would make the
cost of the coal at the plant consider
ably higher than the cost of the
eastern coal. 1t was said that the
eastern coal was preferred for use by
the water department.
It was interesting to note that the
best prices on coal were offered by
local companies and that out of town
companies seeking the contract with
the exception Of the firms selling coal
from the Indiana miles, all asked a
higher price than the local companies
Council May Act Later.
The council may later order the
pauper committee to ask for new bids
for supply of coal for the use OF
the poor, but it is thought probable
that some arrangement can be made
locally to take care Of all of the de-
mands for the city.
The board of water commissioners in
addition to letting contracts for coal
took up considerable routine business
Extension of mains was ordered on
Edward street and on Seventh avenue
