Washington, D. C. = An adjusted
pension bill" designed to remove in
equities between gratuities now paid
veterans Of the several past wars was
passed today by the Senate.
introduced by Senator Bursum, Re-
publican, New Mexico, the bill was de-
scribed by him as substantially the
same as that which President Harding
vetoed last session. The pension bu-
reau estimated it would cost an adj
ditional $55, 100000 the first year.
The bill sprovides a. fiat rate of $72
a month for veterans of the Mexican
and Civil wars as compared with the
present basic rate of $50 and makes
the allowance for each dependent So
per month instead Of from So to Sc.
A new provision, said to have been
inserted to meet objections which led
to the veto last year, provides that
widows of Civil war veterans must
have consummated their marriage pri-
or to June 81, 1907, in order to be
eligible for pensions. The bill car
ries graduated scale for these bene-
ficiaries ranging from $50 per month
at so, to $45 at IA.
There is also graduated scale for
Spanish-American veterans based on
disability ranging from $50 month
to a maximum of $50.

TWO MORE WARDS
MAY BE DIVIDED
Movements on Foot to Di-
vide LIST and 9Th Wards
Into Precincts
FOR FALL ELECTIONS

Movements have been launched among
voters of the first and eighth wards OF
the city to secure a division OF each of
these wards into two precincts, accord
ing to information available at the Of
flee of the city manager this morning
At the request of voters from each OF
these wards, petitions asking for these
divisions have been drawn up and will
be put into circulation shortly. 1t is
anticipated that these petitions will be
presented to the council within few
weeks.
The petition asking for division of
the first ward suggests that the NorthS
western railway be taken as the divfd-
ing line in that ward; all of the dis
trict lying east of the railway is to be
in precinct "a" with the voting place
at the Durkee school, the present poll
ing place for the entire ward; adj that
portion Of the ward lying west of the
railway IS to be in precinct 1B" with
the voting place at, the Deming school
on Dayton street.
The eighth ward vies with the ninth
ward for having the most territory of
any ward in the city and it is not in
the least strange that voters of that
ward should seek to have it divided in
to two precincts. The petition which
has been drawn up suggests the follow
ing precincts for the eighth ward:
Precinct CAP: That part of the ward
lying north of the center line of Limit
street and west of the center line of
the C. & N. w. R. r., with the voting
place at the Grant school on Fairfield
avenue.
Precinct "B": That part of the ward
lying south Of the center line Of Limit
street and east Of the C. & N. w. R. r.
with the voting place at the Gillett
school, the present polling place for
the entire ward.
City Manager Osborn stated that
there would probably be no opposition
en- the part of the council to the plan
of dividing these wards inasmuch as
each Of the wards has more voters than
is set in the maximum prescribed by
the state laws and that each of them
is entitled TO division into precincts in
keeping with the law
The second, fourth and ninth wards
have recently been divided into two
precincts each and this has proven a
great boon to the voters in the ward.
The division of ward into two pre-
cincts entails an additional cost of $50
for, each voting day on the city, but it
is maintained that the convenience to
voters is worth this additional expense.
All wards have been divided only upon
petitions filed by the voters in the
wards. The proposed division of the
first and eighth wards, if passed by the
council, would become effective in time
for the primary and general elections
in the fall.

VOTE TO BUY A
new SCHOOL SITE
Council Acts on Boards
Proposal to Secure How
land Avenue Site.
FOR FUTURE USE

At special meeting of the city
council held at eleven-thirty o'clock
this morning favorable action was
taken on a proposal to purchase a site
for new school building to be located
on South Rowland avenue. The meet
ing was called at the request of the
school board which submitted rec
ommendation that the site in cues
ton be purchased at the prices named
in options. secured by the city several
days ago.
The site which was ordered pur-
chased consists of three parcels of
land, all located on South Rowland
avenue. The site would include six
acres and would give ample room for
the erection of a large school with
proper playground facilities.
The three pieces, of land are owned
by Sydney M. Jones and wife, Richard
Griffith and wife and Charles Mau.
The Griffith tract is the largest and is
to be bought for $14,500; the Jones
tract is to cost the city $4,000 and
the Mau parcel $4,866, the prices all
being based on the varying sizes of
the strips of land. The total cost of
the site will be $22,866. The council
authorized the school board to take
up the options which have been Sc
cured on the property.
No immediate plans are under way
for the erection of school building
on the site which was ordered pur-
chased today. The purchase of the
property is done with an idea of look
ing to the future and the carrying out
in the proper time of the provisions
laid down in the school survey made
by the citizens committee and en-
dorsed by the voters when the large
school bond issue was favored at the
nnlls

VOTERS FLOCK
TO THE POLLS
Unexpected Interest De-
velops i'm Election Held
in KenOsha Today.
MANY LOCAL RACES
Interest in Several Wards Is
Intense Because of Close Race
for Ward Offices.

Much to the surprise of many of
the election prognosticators many vot-
ers were focking to the polls in Ke-
nosha today to take part in the state
wide election of delegates to the ma
tional conventions of the leading po-
litical parties and in the election of
city officials. Unexpected interest de-
veloped in the election at the elev-
enth hour with a result that voting
was much heavier during the early
hours today than had been anticipated.
Close races for certain ward Offices
was assigned as the cause for this in
most of the polling places. This was
especially true in the Fourth ward
where a hot race is on for constable,
in the First ward where a close race
is expected for county supervisor and
in the Sixth ward where there are rae
es for both county supervisor and
school commissioner. At all of these
wards there had been large number
of early voters; at the other wards
the vote had been considerably in ex-
cess of that polled at the same hour
for primary election two weeks ago.
interest III COUNCIL mace.
One of the eleventh hour develop
ments was interest in the vote for
councilman at large, three of whom
are to be elected today. There are
four candidates: w. H. Afford, H. E.
Barden and John Burns, all members
of the council seeking reelection, and
Martin Schmidt, whose name was writ
ten in as a candidate at the primary
election.
Indications this afternoon were that
relatively heavy vote would be cast
throughout the city and that no re-
turns from the election would be avail
able until late hour tonight, possibly
not before midnight. The tangle on
the number of delegates at large to
be voted for will make the ballots
rather difficult to count and will prob
ably delay the securing of returns
from the wards.
Women Take Part.
It was noticeable that the women of
Kenosha were taking an interest in
the election today. At several of >the
voting places, committees of women
were stationed to keep check on the
women voting. During the afternoon
these committees kept the telephones
busy getting out the women vote in
the ward.
The polling places are open until
eight o'clock this evening and it is an
ticipated that there will be heavy vot-
ing at the last hour.
