CITY MUST WAIT
FOR NEW BUILDING
Rotary Hears Report of
G. S. Whyte on Visit to
Washington.
TELL OF CONVENTION

Kenosha will have to wait for an
indefinite time for the realization of
her hopes of a new federal building"
George S. Whyte, one of the ennis
saries of the city who went to Wash
ington some time ago, told the mem
bers of the Rotary club today.
st simply can't be DONE" said Mr.
Whyte. "You can't get the votes in
Congress to get an appropriation for a
Kenosha building and the best advice
that Judge Afford ard could get
was that the city will have to wait
until an omnibus bill is passed by
Congress making appropriations for a
building program. This will not be at
this session of Congress and Congress
man Dick Elliot of Indiana, at the
head of one committee, and Congress-
man Martin Madden of Illinois at the
head of another, both working on the
proposition declared that they did not
believe that it would be at the next
session of Congress.
"a Kenosha bill will never be passed
by any session of Congress, these con-
gressmen declared, because it will
never get votes enough. Kenosha has
our support and its cause is one with
a lot of merit in it, but it will have
to be tied up with lot of other
proposed appropriations if it gets
votes enough to go through"
Get Things Strengthened Out.
Mr. Whyte went to Washington ten
days ago and joined with Walter H.
Afford, president of the city council,
in a general assault on the officials
in aid of the proposed federal building.
They found that the treasury depart
ment had the wrong measurements of
the proposed site and on this account
had found it Unacceptable" but when
measurements were, corrected the Of
ficials of that department declared
their willingness to make a change in
the recommendation and give the pro-
posed plan support. Post Office Of
ficials were found to be strong in
their support of the proposed new
building, but they admitted that they
had no authority to guarantee appro-
priations which must be made by
Congress.
Reports of Convention.
In addition to hearing the report of
the visit to Washington, the Rotarians,
also heard reports of delegates to the
recent convention of the tenth district
of Rotary held at Appleton. These
reports were given by Mr.. Whyte and
President E. L. Shippee of the club,
who gave detailed reports of the vari-
Gus addresses delivered and the vari-
Gus entertainments planned for the
district convention. They told local
members of Rotary that the meeting
at Appleton had been most inspiring
and helpful meeting at which plans
for an onward movement by clubs in
this district were fully worked out.

Representatives of the Ford Motor Company
of Detroit, Negotiate for Dock Prop
erty in Kenosha.
Hint AT PLANS. FOR PLANT
Convinced of Good Rail and Water Shipping Facilities
of KenOsha Ford Company May Build
Assembling Plant on Site

While other cities have been at
tempting to interest the Ford people
in dock property, it is stated that Ke-
nosha is being given the most favor
able consideration due to the fact that
here the company find a combination
of the factors for which they have
been searching
Want Water, Rail and Rate.
A deep water front, where large
lake boats can dock, and discharge
cargoes of parts directly to the as
sembling plant, thus eliminating trans
fer and carriage, is essential. With a
water front plant boats may be load
ed at Detroit and shipped directly to
the doors of the assembling station.
Another important feature is the
accessibility to rail facilities. 1t is
understood chat the Northwestern
road has been approached with a view
to building connecting spur track
and freight yards at the plant, and
that rail engineers have looked over
the ground and pronounced it feasible.
The third factor is getting into the
Chicago freight rate district in which
Kenosha is located. This, it is said,
means saving of many thousands of
dollars annually on western shipments.
Other lake cities which have been
cunning" for the Ford plant are out
side this district and consequently are
not being considered.
Considering Hill Property.
1t is understood that the dock site
which the Ford company is now con-
sidering is the Van Ingen property.
This property begins at the Main
street bridge and runs a block north.
1t is part of the Hill Steamboat COM
pany's holdings, which is at present
not being used for docking. The Hill
steamers dock to the north.
Capt. L. L. Hill, secretary and treas
urer of the line, was out of the city
today and could not be located. Other
members of the firm stated that while
they knew that negotiations were be-
ing carried on, they were not in po-
s'tion to comment on the present
status of the deal.
1t is understood that a representa-
tive of the Ford company was in Ke-
nosha yesterday, and while he refused
to make any definite statements init
mated that his company were very
much interested and that the deal
might be closed at any time He in-
fered that the Ford company would
probably purchase other docking prop
erty furthre north.
An Associated Press despatch re-
ceived late today tended to confirm
the assertion relative to the northern
project. 1t reads as follows:
Duluth, Mimi. Henry Ford, the
Detroit manufacturer, has made a cash
offer of $650,O0O and payment of
$500 for unpaid taxes for the lake
front property of the Superior Coal
and Dock company, local concern,
according to Oscar Mitchell, Duluth
attorney receiver for the company.
Creditors considered the offer at a
meeting in the federal court at Column
bus, Ohio, last Saturday, according to
Mr.. Mitchell The property consists
of PIP acres of lake front property
with dock equipment. It's assessed
valuation is $307,675.

Fiery Cross Is
Only Sign Of
Kan MEETING

Kenosha county had its first fiery
cross on Monday night.
Motorists along the Wilmot road
have reported that fiery cross was
seen burning on the top of hill just
west of Pleasant Prairie on the Will
mot road. 1t is declared that there
was meeting of some members of the
Ku Klux Khan but no one can be
found who can give any further infor-
nation regarding the gathering or the
lighting of the fiery cross.
There have been several fiery
crosses seen in Racine county and
these have been taken as indications
of the increased organization work of
Khan leaders in that county.
Those who saw the burning cross on
Monday evening declare that it was
more than ten feet high and lighted
up the entire countryside where it
was placed.

Violin Figures In
First Christening

Madison, Wis. - Although it might
not have been Stradivarus or other
valuable violin--a fiddle which played
the dance music that was occasioned
by the christening of the first white
child born in Madison, Wis.-neverthe-
less is a cherished exhibit of Wiscon-
sin in the state historical museum at
Madison.
An account Of this incident in an
article. by Harold M. Griffin, state
university student, in forthcoming
issue of the Wisconsin Magazine, and
concerns the christening of Victoria
Wisconsena Peck, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eben Peck, the latter being the
first white woman to arrive in Madi-
son.
MIR. Griffin states in his article:
shortly after the arrival of the Peck
family in Madison the first white child
born there was to Mrs. Peck, Sept Ia,
1887. Mrs. Peck decided that the gov
ernor should christen it, so Governor
Dodge came up from Dodgeville to
name the child. After some delibera-
ton it was decided to name the baby
girl Wisconsin, after Wisconsin,, and
Victoria, for young Queen Victoria in
England who had just taken the throne.
"After the christening the party
made merry and danced all of the night
to the strains of Mrs. Peck's violin.
incidentally that same violin may nov
be seen at the historical library at
Madison
Later the Peck family moved to Bar
aboo Mrs. Peck died in 1898 at the
age of go. Victoria married S. A. Haw-
ley, her second husband, and lived for
time at Delton and Baraboo. She
died in Delton in 1922 at the age of
IS.

BUFFALOEs THRIVE in YUKON.

Ketchikan, Alaska-Veterans from
the Yukon territory who mushed into
the Ketchikan district recently were
optimistic about the importation of
twenty-four buffaloes from Vain
wright Park, Alberta, to game pre-
serve in central Yukon. They pre-
dicted that within a few years the
raising of these buffaloes would be
as profitable to the Yukon as the
reindeer industry has become to
northern Alaska.

ON TRAIL OF
TAX DODGERS
Paddy Wagon to be Called
Into Play to- Collect Per-
sOnal Taxes.
TO INBOUND AUTOS
Persons Who Can't Pay Tax on
Their Autos Will Not Be Al
lowed to Ride in Them.

Clamping down the lid on all Keno
shans who are attempting to dodge the
payment of personal property taxes
was started this morning when II. G..
Laughlin, director of finances of the
city Of Kenosha, set in operation the
machinery to force payment of the, de-
linquent tax due or seize the property
upon which it is assessed. When the
books were closed several months ago,
there was total of $4,000 IN delin-
quent personal property taxes yet to
be collected. Since that time one-half
of this amount has been paid and liens
against the property dismissed. There
still remains $4,000 uncollected and it
is to bring this into the treasury that
the drive has been started this norm
ing.
gs Police Serve Notice.
Director Laughlin is tired Of sending
notices through the mails to the de-
linquents in question. Several Of these
have been mailed to each person on
this list and all have been disregarded.
Now special notification form is be-
ing used which gives the delinquent
taxpayer twenty-four hours to pay the
tax and warns him that at the expira-
ton of that time the property will be
seized.
This notice is handed to a policeman
who is instructed to serve it on the
delinquent in person. If the dead-line
passes without the tax being paid, the
patrol wagon is summoned and police
are instructed to, go to the place in
question and seize enough property to
assure the payment of the personal
property tax.
May Take Automobiles.
In several instances the personal
property tax is assessed on auUomo-
biles. In such instances the automo-
biles may be seized and held for the
tax and even sold in the event the tax
is not paid within reasonable time.
Many of the delinquents are small
storekeepers and in such cases enough
of their stock or fixtures may be re-
moved and held or sold to pay the tax.
"We mean business" said Director
Laughlin, "and the best thing the de-
linquent can do is to pay the tax inn
mediately. 1t is unfair to make some
pay and let others escape. The major
ity of Kenoshans have paid bheir per-
sonal property tax and we intend to
see to it that the others do"
