ga Earthquakes
During june Month

Toxic Toxic had a surfeit of
earthquakes during June. Between the
second, and fourteenth of she month GA
were recorded on the seismograph,
many Of them of sufficient force TO
waken the hardened citizens of the
capital and send them scurrying under
door jarnhs, which are considered the
safest places when mother earth de-
cides TO readjust herself. Most of
these shocks originated in Kashima
Bay, which is in the earthquake zone,
and fortunately did no damage.
Dr.. Fusakichi Omori, authority on
earthquakes and volcanoes, has as
sured the people that, despite the re-
cent restlessness of the earth which
will continue fer some time, Toxic is
a region comparatively free from dam
ger. The shape and formation Of
Japan, according to DR.. Omori, make it
peculiarly susceptible to underground
disturbances. The volcanic zone lies
along the inner Japan sea side of the
arc formed by the islands. with an of
shoot at right angles in the direction
of Mt. Full. The earthquake zone lies
along the outer, Pacific slope CT japan

the canned peas in the whole United

portance that the destruction be

the damage to this years crop at
from s to 20 percent.
"The loss in the northern part of
the state this season was considerably
less than in the southern, the expert
said. SIN some southern fields sit was
waste of time to cut the peas, while
in many northern fields the yield was
way above average"
Seven workers were transferred,from
Madison to Columbus, center Of the
industry at the height of the sseason
to combat this insect. OF dozen
insect powders tried inSthe Columbus
fields, nicotine dust and calcium Ecya-

Electricity Plus
Ingenuity Does Trick

That old chestnut about Necessity
being the Mother of Invention" has
again proved true, according to re-
ports from our correspondents in Rus
STA. We hear so much about starva-
tion in that White Wasteland and
turn so sympathetic an ear to appeals
for the Near East Relief that we have
come 70 picture the people as rather
budding in groups, without work,
without food, without hope.
They may be without food and
many of them undoubtedly are with
out hope, but in. at least one COM
munity we know of they are NOT
without work, due to the ingenuity of
an American and the kindly Offices of
electricity. ra4ls,
1t seems that the Trans Caucasian
Government prohibited gambling.
This threw upon the market quanti-
ties of billiard balls which could be
bought up for song. But of what
use are billiard balls when no one
any longer plays billiards? No use
whatever At least that is what most
people thought until one of the direc-
tors Of the Near East Relief conceived
e happy thought.
Starving Russians, unmarketable
billiard balls. and saleable articles of
personal adornment seem to have no
bearing whatever upon each other.
In reality they proved corelative.
Children with. a marked artistic apti-
tude worked out new and charming
designs, then electric drills were in
stalled and soon the once worthless
billiard Balls were transformed into a
score of - unusual articles of adorn-
ment, as we'll as into powder boxes,
umbrella handles and all those other
hundred and one triles dear to the
heart and the purse of the souvenir
questioning tourist.
Even very lovely and unique neck
laces were evolved from scraps of
ivory and were eagerly purchased at
what would seem the amazing sum of
six and half million rubles. Trans
lated into the currency Of the United
states, however, this amount really
to only about $3.50. Not so expensive
after alk9aiAndo surely we'll worth the
price when lit is remembered that
every memento purchased meant both
work and bread to a little community
that is doing its level best to rise
above conditions into which the for
tunes of war and the greed of men
had plunged it unawares.

Western Improvement Co.
Filed Formal Demand
for Damages for Delay.
BLAMES GAS COMPANY
Says Holding Up of Improve
ments to Get in Gas Mains
Caused Loss to Company

The Western Improvement company
of Racine, which has contracts for the
paving with asphalt many OF the
streets of Kenosha, has filed an un-
usual claim against the city. The COM
pany has served formal notice on the
city that it will claim damages on
account of the fact that the work OF
the company has been delayed IN the
Improvement Of streets in Kenosha.
A long list of streets is named In
the complaint made by the company to
the city but it is said that the claim
for damages will be based on delays
on LYMAN avenue and Florence ave-
nue.. The delay it is declared was
caused on account of failure of the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric company
to install mains under the streets In
time to get out of the way OF the paw
ers. The paving company does not
stipuIate in its formal notice to the
CITY the amount of damages to be
claimed but the notice is given at this
time in order to safeguard the rights
of the company when. the final settle
ment is made with the company.
Company Not NotiAed.N
s'This is not a liability against the
city of Kenosha," declared City Man
ager C. M. Osborn, this morning"
The gas COMPANY was RoIr7 all0 ~ /
fed by the city to put in all of these
service mains and if there is any
liability for the delay in completing
the work, it is not for the city to
meet. While the company has named
a great many streets on which delays
are alleged to have occurred the most
serious delays were on Layman and
Florence avenues.
s'On the first named street the paw
ing company had completed the grad
ing work and was ready to go ahead
with the laying of the concrete foun-
dations when the workers were stop
ped in order to permit the workers for
the gas company to lay service mains
'The laying of city water mains
has caused slight delay in the paw
ing work on North Pleasant street and
North Prospect avenue, but l do not
think that this delay caused the com
pany any loss"
First Complaint of Kind.
This is the first formal complaint
of the kind to be fled with the city
in which paving company has claim
ed damages for delay. Many times
contractors in charge of public. i'm
provement work in the city have
threatened to file such claims for dam
ages but this is the first time that the
test of the rights of the contractor has
been suggested. 1t is not improb-
able that the matter will have to be
settled in the court.
The city is now adopting the plan
of having all service pipes Installed
under street Ito Abe improved in the
fall, previous to the letting of the
contracts for 4paving.

Not to be Bonded

Madison, Wis.-The law passed by
the 1898 session of the legislature,
now Chapter 1923 of the Wisconsin
statutes, requiring all detective agen-
cies to file bond of $4,000 with the

agencies which have power to make

day by Assistant Attorney General
Winfield w. Gilman to Secretary of
State Fred r. Zimmerman. Neither
does the law apply to railway police

Charge.

Paris The American embassy is
seeking information about John Louis
Ayotte of Sheboygan, Wis, who is
serving sentence for arson. The en-
bassy's object is to present an appli-
cation for clemency to the French
government as instructed from Wash

When a doughboy in France, Ayotte
married Nine. Larinier, Chalenssur-
Saone and took her home with him,
but they returned to France on urgent
appeals from the girls father. Father
and son-in-law were unable to agree.
Then a barn on. their farm burned
down and Ayotte was convicted of ar
son. His friends feel that he didn't
have an adequate defense Lecause of
his lack of knowledge of the French
law. The French government has in
formed the American Aid society that
it will release Avotte if it finds there
are extenuating circumstances and he
promises to return to the United
States if he is released

ESCAPE
SERIOUS INJURY
County Treasurer, Wife
and Sister-il2-Law In Bad
Motor Accident.
CAR TOOK TO DITCH

County Treasurer Thomas S. Scott,
Mrs. Scott and her sister, Miss Anna
Fitzgerald, had narrow escape from
serious injury on Friday afternoon
when the Cleveland sedan, driven by
the county treasurer, collided with
big car driven by O. Jacket Of Forest
Park on the Telegraph road two miles
north of Everett. Scott, in an effort
to prevent an accident, took TO the
ditch but his forethought failed to
bring the expected result and the carr
driven by jacket crashed into the
Scott car bending the front aXel, strip
ping off the tenders and throwing the
occupants of the Scott car against the
sides of the automobile. Miss Fitz-
gerald sustained a badly sprained
wrist and several bad bruises. Mrs.
Scott was bruised and suffered Sc
verely from the shock of the accident.
Mr.. Scott had only few slight bruis-
es. Mr.. and Mrs. jacket, who, were IN
the other car, escaped without injury
but their automobile wss pretty badly
wrecked. The Scott car was towed to
North Chicago and the Jacket car to
Lake Forest. The members of the Ke-
nosha sparty returned to Kenosha in
taxi-cab.
Parked Car Cause Of Accident.
An automobile parked on The con
crete road was the cause of Che col
lision. Neither the car Of Scott or
that Of Jacket was being driven at an
excessive speed. Scott was going
south with his car, running between
twenty and twenty-five piles an hour,
jacket was driving north and he had
stopped just short time before on
account of the car baing parked in
the road ahead of him.
"I do not think that jacket was driv-
ing more than ten miles an hour" said
the county treasurer this morning.
"Ha evidently did not see me coming
and he shot out from behind the 9TH
er car and I had no chance to avoid
the collision. I was going between
twenty and twenty-five miles an hour
and I went to the ditch and went full
speed ahead. Even then I could not
get away from the other car and it
came on us side-swiping the fenders
off and wrecIing the front axle. jacket
did not get away very easy. His car
Was so badly damaged that they had
to tow it to Lake Forest"
Both Mrs. Scott and her sister were
feeling the results Of their injuries
today and it is probable that they>wiH
be indisposed for several days.

WEST SIDE FUEL
YARD HIT BY FIRE
Blaze Causes
Damage of $4,000 to Su-
perior Fuel Company.
SWEEPS REPAIR SHOP

Fire of mysterious origin broke out
late Friday afternoon in the repair
shop of the Superior Fuel Co., STA
Superior street, and before it was un-
der control by the fire department,
had done damage estimated at more
than $4,000. The blaze was discov-
cred by mechanics who were working
on a truck in the shop at the time,
and it spread so rapidly that the en-
tire yard was threatened. There was
not sufficient time to remove a newly
painted buggy or the truck from the
shop. The buggy is total loss, while
the truck is badly charred. The shop
was Quilted and part of the roof was
burned off.
The alarm was responded to by en-
CINE 3, hose company A and truck 2.
Two lines of hose were. immediately
gotten into play on the burning struc-
ture, one-story frame building. 1t
required half an hour to check the
flames, which were unusually savage,
being fed by the oil-soaked timbers.
To Investigate Cause.
John j. Schwartz, chief of the fire
department, will conduct a further in
vestigation into the cause of the FIRE.
The possibility of faulty wiring hav-
ing set it, was eliminated yesterday.
Men working about the plant at the
time declared that no one was smok-
ing and that there was no exposed
gasoline. The possibility that it was
caused by spontaneous combustion Of
oil-soaked rags and waste will be con-
sidered by Chief Schwartz.
As soon as the alarm was given, the
entire Office force began removing
time cards, the company books and
other valuable papers to a place of
safety. The Office is adjacent to the
repair shop.
