MEYER GRANTED
NEW EXAMINATION
Industrial Board Orders
Another Medical Test
for Former Sheriff.
INJURED ON DUTY
Order Is Received Today by
Morris Barnett, District
Attorney, from Madison.

Joseph Meyer, former sheriff of Ke-
nosha county, who was injured while
taking Joseph Paren to Waupun to
begin serving four year sentence for
burglarizing the home of G. W. Nash
here in Kenosha, won another trick
today in his fight to get compensation
for the injury which occurred while in
the line of duty.
A letter from L. A. farrell of the
Wisconsin industrial commission which
was received today by Morris Barnett,
district attorney, ordered that the
former sheriff be sent to DR.. Edward
Quick of Milwaukee for second
physical examination.
The first examination which was
made Just after he was released from
the hospital and shortly before his
trial here, resulting from the grand
jury shake-up, was never carried to
completion by the state due to the fact
that he began serving his sentence
before the findings could be made.
Had Ribs Broken.
According to the evidence in the
case Meyer had Paren on the train,
when the latter asked to be taken to
the wash room. Catching the sheriff
in an unguarded moment the prisoner
bounced upon him and began beating
him, after snatching the sheriff's re-
volver and handouts.
The sheriff, despite the fact that he
was severely injured and was suffer
ing from several broken ribs at the
time, prevented the escape of the pris-
oner and succeeded in delivering him
to the penitentiary.
After returning to Kenosha he was
forced to spend several weeks in the
hospital, but he claimed that in addi-
ton to having had his ribs broken, he
had sustained internal injuries which
incapacitated him for life. 1t was
then that the first examination was
made.
Paren was recently released from
prison and returned to Kenosha VOW
ing that he would stage his comeback
where he had fallen.
Although he was sentenced to serve
four years in the penitentiary, he was
granted a parole several months ago

HerriOt to Have
Working Majority

Paris While the governmental cris-
is continues to be- acute, the prospec-
tive Premier M. Herriot, is at least
through the decision of the Socialist
party congress which in the early
hours of this morning unanimously
adopted resolution pledging him So
cialist support.
The question of President Miller
and's tenure of office, however, re-
mains as confused as before, the only
thing which appears certain being
that he will resist to the end all eff
forts to force him out. Doubt is ex-
pressed in some quarters whether the
Radicals are willing to go so far as
to create a. precedent whereby the
president would have to resign when
evor the party he favored was beaten
in the elections.

MILLER EXPLAINS
MILK FINDINGS
City Chemist Tells How Re-
suits of Monthly Tests
Are Arrived at.
MAY MILK EXCELLENT

An explanation of the grading OF
milk samples which are taken from
licensed dealers who sell milk in Keno
sha and tested each month was made
today by Henry F. Miller, city chemist
and bacteriologist. Mr.. Miller said:
"There has been considerable ques-
tion in the minds of the general pub
lie as to just how we come to make the
findings of the milk samples in the
laboratory. People want, and are en-
titled to, clean, wholesome milk, free
from dirt and bacteria of injurious ma
ture. OF course, all foodstuffs contain
certa kinds Of bacteria which are not
only harmless but positively health
full. 1t is the duty of the laboratory
workers to protect the public from the
harmful species.
"The number of bacteria in milk
gives an indication of the method in
which the milk has been handled. 1t
does not indicate the kind of bacteria.
Milk that has been kept too warm or
handled in an unclean way will rapid
ly, cause milk that contains only, for
example, 10000 bacteria per cubic GEN.
timeter to increase in short time to
four or FIVE hundred thousand or even
millions of bacteria per cubic cent?
meter. Such numbers would indicate
very bad conditions. Milk containing
10000 up to $4,000 or possibly 1907
900 bacteria is permissible, without in
dicating any danger, The usual aver
age of good milk will run between 10
and 80 Thousand.
"The sediment grade of milk is de-
termined by filtering one pint of milk
through a special cotton disc. The re-
sulting sediment is classified into four
classes as follows: Clean milk, that
does not show on the cotton more than
a few visible particles of foreign mat
ter; fairly clean, where not more than
six particles of visible dirt are visible;
dirty milk, where there is considerable
visible dust, dirt, hair or other foreign
particles; filthy milk, where the cotton
disc is obscured by dirt.
at will be noticed that the term
fairly clean indicates only very
slight visible sediment, but not quite
perfect"
The result of examinations of milk
samples for the past month is as fol-
lows:
BF-Per cent butter fat.
BC-Bacteria count

Sacrifice Monkey to
Test Electric Chair

-"Ronquillo,' m on k e y
which long has been pet around the
Luneta police station, has been sac
rifced on the altar of science. The
Philippine government more than
year ago adopted the electric chair as
means of executing condemned muir
derers, and in order to test the eff
cheney of the apparatus, which re-
Gently was received from the United
States, Ronquillo was commandeered
as the first victim. 1t required FIVE
seconds to kill the monkey.
Officials have announced that the
chair is ready to be used for the cleo
trocution of nine murderers who have
been held in Bil:bid prison awaiting
the installation of the apparatus. The
Philippine Islands is the first country
in the Far East to adopt the electric
chair for the execution of murderers.

GLORIOUS FOURTH
IS NOW PROPOSED
Movement on Foot for Ke-
nOsha to Have an Old
Fashioned 9TH.
FIREWORKS AND ALL
Suggestion Made Band Concert
with Fireworks Feature the
Celebration Here.

An old fashioned Fourth of July
celebration for Kenosha this year
doomed up as a possibility today when
it became known that there was
movement on foot TO back such a pro-
ject for this city. 1t has been sug-
gested that it would not be out OF
order for all Kenosha to join IN stag
ing a band concert and display of
fireworks in the evening which would
recall the good old days when the
GLORIOUS Fourth" always drew
throngs to Kenosha.
The program suggested is that a
moderate display of fireworks to be
staged either at the Lincoln park or
at Eichelman park be provided all to
be done by experts with no danger
whatever connected with the pyrotech-
mic display. Such program could be
secured for total expense of $500,
which would provide for several most
elaborate set pieces to stir the pa
triotism on the nations birthday.
Break the Monotony.
Those who are pushing the project
maintain that for years the Fourth of
July has come and gone in Kenosha
without any form of celebration. AS
consequence scores of people plan
to leave Kenosha for the holiday. 1t
is anticipated that the provision for
such an observance of the day would
keep many home folks in Kenosha and
would attract many others here.
In order to stage such celebration
it would be necessary for merchants,
manufacturers and others interested
to donate to a fund to be collected
to defray the expense of such cele-
bration.
City Is Not Opposed.
While the city of Kenosha officially
is not ready to launch on project of
backing such a demonstration, it was
stated by officials that the city would
be willing to do everything in its
power to aid in such a sane and SEN
sible celebration of the holiday The
band concert and fireworks program
is being adopted by many cities in the
state and merchants and business men
are rallying to its support.
1t is probable that such proposal
may be laid before the various civic
organizations for backing in the near
future.

ANNI1IS CITIZENSHIP.

New Orleans.-After residing in
New Orleans virtually all his life, be-
lieving himself to be an American
and exercising citizens suffrage,
William Dixon Seymour has learned
in federal court that he is British
subject. Seymour was born in Mexico
of British parentage and his father
was naturalized by the confederacy
during the civil war.
The discovery that he was British
subject was made when Seymour at
tempted to obtain a passport to visit
Europe. 1t was denied by the state de-
partment upon the ground that he
could not prove his American citizen
ship. At the same time it was held
that rights granted by the confereracy
were not legal.

Man and Bear Mix
Skeletons and Gun
Tell of Conflict

Missoula--A relic of a fight in
which man and bear each lost his
life has fallen into the hands of Pat
Palsey Of 725 Holmes street, who
acquired the article from Alex Dom
nelley, fire patrolman of the East Sell
way forest. The relic is an old cap
and ball pistol, covered with the rust
of years, and was found by Mr.. Dom
nelley on top Of the Selway divide,
near the Mountana-Ida state line.
The gun, which has three charged
chambers, was found among the
bones of the man and bear, and the
finder believes that the gun tells the
story Of mighty struggle for life in
which both contestants lost. The bones
were bleached white, which leads to
the belief that the fight took place
many years ago, and this belief is
strengthened by the apparent age of
the gun, which is Of a type first manu-
factllred prior to the Civil war.
Mr.. Paisley has removed part Of the
rusi from the barrel of the weapon,
and With theiai Of glass the follow
ing words are discernible: "36 cali
sbre pr Colonel He hopes that
further polishing will reveal the name
spfl the owner of the gun, which nanght
give clue TO the identity Of the skel-
elui.
The bones Of the man and beast
were found about three miles from
the spot where, two years ago, the
keleton Of rnan, with both arms i'm
prisoned in steel bar trap, was dis
covered by men patroIing the fire
lines. The identity of this unfortu-
nate man remains mystery, as prob
ably will that of the skeleton whose
'ony hand clasped the weapon, now
but the relic of lost fight.
