May 1t Please the Court:
In addition to the memorial pre-
sented by the Bar association, l trust
l shall be pardoned in making few
remarks and adding a word of per-
sonal appreciation and respect.
I first met Peter Fisher on July 4th.
1888. We both occupied the same plat
form at an independence Day celebra-
ton in the city of Waukegan. Mr..
Fishers address was on patriotism"
never forgot the lasting impression
his address made upon me, was con-
scious Of the fact that the words fell
from the lips of a true man inspired
by real American patriotism.
I next met him the following year
when he came to our city and became
associated with the late James Cav
anagh. The firm of Cavanagh and
Fisher became the leading law firm Of
this community and enjoyed large
and extensive practice. Rarely case
came into court in which the firm were
not retained on one side or the other.
Mr.. Fisher being the junior mem
Der of the firm naturally had charge
of great deal Of the firms business
before the lower courts, by reason of
which / was in contact with him al
most daily
Our associations ripened into last
ing intimate friendship, most cordial
and confidential without break or
flaw at any time. I knew him to be
absolutely honest in everything. ]
can vouch for it that he never would
take advantage of the mistakes of his
adversary; his stipulations never had
to be reduced to writing. He was gen
erous to fault. His charity knew no
bounds. Many times when pitted
against a young and inexperienced at
torney, he could have taken an advan-
tage legally, which would cause his
opponent embarrassment and expense
and possibly final defeat, but it was
contrary to his noble character, and
have known him repeatedly to sug-
gest to his young opponent the proper
course, advise him how to prove some
essential point which he had overlook
ed and consent to an adjournment ir
order that the litigation could be de-
termined purely and solely on its
merits.
The death of Peter Fisher affects
me, or should affect me more than any
other member of our present bar; it is
the severance Of one of the very last
ties binding the present with that past
which, counted in years, is but short
reriod hut when measured bv the

Police Sponge Squad Raid
ed IS Saloons in March
Found Nothing.
RAID PRIVATE HOMES
Small DistilIers of Moonshine
at Home Worst Offenders
but They're Fewer.

Certainly change has come over the
aspect Of Kenosha. Chief Logan adj
mitted as much this morning as he
handled a bunch of yellow papers,
which was the report of sponge squad
officials for the month of March, duly
typed and tabulated, and discussed an
article in Chicago newspaper, in
which Kenosha was referred to as a
coming "spotless town."
"Thirtyfve raids made in the month
of March and not one yielded evidence"
said the chief of the police department.
He indicated that he was fully pleased
with the report, which was made by
the old sponge squad, duly tried and
broken to the task of finding evidence
if there were any.
Raids on Glass A Permit Places.
The long list of fruitless raids made
by the police were on places selling
beverages under permit, such as sa-
looms and soft drink parlors. No won
der that the police sponge squad has
not made much noise lately with their
achieveme the reason being one
which he who runs may read: they
can't find anything. The sponge squad
still goes out making Investigation on
the complaints of citizens and also to
keep watch over the places allowed to
run by permit, but they cannot find
the slippery moon back of the bar or
in teapot or in glass water bottle as
formerly.
BY that same token, Kenosha's clean
up must have been more than skin
deep and the good work Of keeping on
the scrubbing brush is still going for
ward by the police.
Private Homes Worst VioIators.
Chief Logan stated this morning that
the battle against fragrant violators of
the liquor law had narrowed down to
one against private homes and private
distilleries. Moonshine is still beins
made, privately distributed and pri-
vately sold, he admitted, though not in
the quantity or on the same scale as
formerly. He declared that it was the
most insidious form of violation, as it
was connived at by part of the popu-
lation and hard for the police to ferret
out. But the sponge squad is still on
the job, ferreting out the moon and
finding it.

AID WIVES OF
MEN In PRISON
Poor Commissioner Finds
Jail Sentences Increase
His Work.
DEMANDS WERE HEAVY

"Daddy's in Jail. We need food and
COAL" is getting to be rather COM
mon request to be made to Poor Com
missioner Jacob Saftig, according to
the report for the last three months
of the activities of the city poor de-
nartment, which report was filed with
the city clerk recently. In the names
of those who have been aided re-
Gently by the city poor fund are the
wives and families of several of those
who were caught in the Cleanup net"
and who are now doing time either
at the county jail or at the workhouse
in Milwaukee.
Eight such cases are listed on the
reports and in nearly all of these in
stances the requests have been for the
maximum amount of aid offered by
the department.
Some Were Well Fixed.
"I don't understand some of these
cases." admitted Poor Commissioner
Saftig. Several months ago some of
these people appeared to be in pretty
good circumstances. I guess their
money went to pay fines. At any rate
have investigated and found that
each and every one of them is entitled
to the help that has been given them
There have always been a few
charges on the pauper lists whose
names were there because the bread
winner was serving time for some
crime or misdemeanor, but the big in
crease in number in these is declared
to be directly traceable to the recent
cleanup in the county.
Has Been Busy Quarter.
Poor Commissioner Jacob Saftig has
been busy man during the past three
months caring for the needs of the pow
erty stricken Of Kenosha, according to
this quarterly report filed recently
with the city clerk. The report shows
that this has been the busiest period
in the history of the department. Most
unusual is the fact that in the three
months the commissioner has been
asked to take charge of five burials
and to investigate many applications
for entrance to hospitals, showing that
the hand of sickness and death hit the
poor of the city heavily during the
past quarter.
The report in brief is as follows:
During the above period this de-
partment has taken care of four pa
TENTS at the -Kenosha hospital, four
at st. GATHERINGS Memorial hospital
six at the Isolation hospital and two
at the Carmelite Sisters Home.
We also took charge of five burials
and investigated eight applications for
Willowbrook sanitarium.
During the last period, we investi-
gated one hundred sixty-nine appica-
tions, accepted one hundred twenty
seven, refused thirty-one, eleven sent
to county agents, as county charges.
On Jan. 1, 1922, we had twelve in
mates at the City Poor Farm, taking
in one, discharged one, taken away by
death two. Therefore we have at pres
ent ten inmates at said farm.
Respectfully,
JACOB SAFTIG.
Poor Master.

must be put through to put an end to

Opposition on Some Streets.
Considerable opposition was record
ed to paving on some streets particu-
larly Racine avenue against which rep
resentatives of the MacWhyte com
pany and Charles Hastings spoke We
hemently declaring that the cost Of
taxpayers.
When petitions for other street paw
ing were placed before the council
there was general tendency to turn
these over to the new council and nc
action was taken on them.
There was considerable opposition to
the fact that the bids were made by
each contractor only for one kind Of
paving and intimations that a monopo-
ly might exist were made due to the
fact that there was little competition
evidenced in the bids.
Help Spanish War Veterans.
The council made an appropriation
of $500 to the convention fund of the
Spanish-American War Veterans who
are to entertain the state convention
to be held here June 1924.
A petition for the changing of the
name of Exchange street to Southport
Road was received and reported to the
proper committee. Another petition
for admitting the new tract just south
of the Burlington road was received
and reported to the proper committee,
There was no action taken on the pro-
posal to build an open ditch which
would drain the Heide-Bjorn subdivi-
sion, this also being laid over to the
new council.
Various reports were presented and
accepted to clear up the records of the
old council and these held the alder
men until a late hour at their last reg
ular meeting.
