.enoshans who had looked forward
summer vacation listening to the
VI of people indicted by the grand
y, are going to be disappointed, as
announced this morning that there
little chance for Judge Belden to be
* in Kenosha for any extended stay
more than month. If further in
tments are returned by the grand
" the defendants named in them
IL be arraigned before Court Com
sioner Buckmaster and the cases
ntinued pending the return of the
dye. The defendants may ask a
ange Of venue when the cases are
lied and it is understood that the
ldge has suggested the possibility of
ldge Quinlan coming to Kenosha to
ear such cases. Judge Quinlan will
'obably not be available for extended
,ssions of the court until after the
nd of the heated season. 1t is ex-
ected that Judge Belden will be back
Kenosha the middle of July to at.
md to long naturalization calendar
nd during the days that he is hearing
etitions for second papers he will be
valuable for the return of indict-
tents. No statement has been given
ut as to when the grand jury will re-
ume its sessions, but it is known that
he members of the jury consider their

Chief Closing Up Work.
Chief of Police O'Hare, who an
bounced on Tuesday that he would send
lis resignation to the Police and Fire
Commission on Friday evening, was
busy closing up the work of his term
oday. 81 shall ask that the resigna-
ion be effective on the first of July"
said the chief. Gwen the people who
ire most anxious to get rid of me
will probably not begrudge me this
week to clean up after so many years
n Office. want to make a statement
70 the people and / want to ask for
fair consideration of this statement
and it will be ready with my resigna-
lion to the commission. 1t will take
me about week to get the many mat
5ers now in hand in shape to turn
over to some one else aud | want to
give the successor in this Office who
ever he may be, every possible court
esq and make his work as easy as
possible No, l have no bitter ar
raignment of any one to make. My
troubles are individual and l haven't
anything to say about any one else"
No Candidate for Successor.
The chief declared that he had no
suggestion to make to the commission
as to who should succeed him as head
# the police department. "It's mat
r which is wholly up to the commits
On and l haven't even suggestion
20 make in the matter. When l leave
the Office l will be through and retired
and I do not want any one to think
that l would retain any string on the
afterward."
Members Of the police commission
today indicated that the resignation of
the chief would be accepted when it is
presented and they were emphatic in
their statement that no action would be
taken previous to its presentation.
cit would be unfair to the people
of Kenosha for us to rush in and sus-
pend Chief O'Hare,' said one of the
members Of the commission. "The
trial of the chief may drag along for
months and even for years and in such
case if he were suspended he would
remain on the payroll of the city. 1t
must appeal to any sensible man that
the commission is wholly justified in
waiting few days for the resignation
of the chief. Certainly such plan
would appeal to the taxpayers"
