HUSBAND SEEKS
INVESTIGATION
Police and District. Attor-
ney Question Witnesses
in Midwife Case.
MATTER IS DROPPED
Officials Believe that Testi-
mony Is Not Sufficient
to Push Prosecution.

An anguished husband, suffering be-
cause Of the death of his young wife,
brought an interesting story to the
district attorneys office this week,
resulting in thorough investigation.
According to the husbands story, he
believed that an unlawful operation
had been performed upon his wife by
a midwife, and believed that her death
had resulted.
The husband, father and brother of
the dead woman each in turn were
questioned. 1t is alleged that they
told of statements made by the young
woman upon her death bed, duplicating
the woman whom she charged had per-
formed an operation upon her.
Others Tell Another Story.
At the same time, other witnesses
were called, friends of the young wo-
man, and they, it is said, told another
and different story. Their testimony
would tend to exonerate the woman
against whom the husband directed an
investigation.
Because of the consideration due to
the dead young woman, her name has
not been made publlct especially since
the district attorney has come to the
conclusion that the testimony is not
sufficient to form the basis of a pros
ecution.
Girl Just Eighteen.
The young woman came to her death
recently as the result of blood-poison-
ing following miscarriage, according
to the report Of the physician who at
tended her.
The members OF. her family applied
for warrant at the district attorneys
office, demanding that the person who
they declared guilty for the young wo-
mans death be punished. The investi-
CATION did not bring cut enough evil
dence to warrant such a conclusion,
the district attorney held.

SOLONS BEATING BACK
TO PARTY BANNER
Strongly to Some Members
of the Legislature.

Madison, Wis.--In the present ses-
sion of the state legislature there
apparently is gone the feeling of re-
straint as between conservative and
progressive factions of the Republican
party that marked sessions of former
years. Since the beginning of the 1925
session, nearly month ago, there has
been noticed a desire on the part of
the progressives to fraternalize with
conservatives.
Leading conservatives, among them
Assemblyman Charles B. Perry and
Wallace Ingalls,, say they understand
the motives lying behind this friend
liness. They say it may be regarded
as a potential movement on the part
of some progressives to again come
under the party designation as Re-
publican without qualifying label
They point out that these friandly
progressives are inviting merger of
interest with that end in view. Pro-
Sressive leaders approached on the
same subject declined to comment on
their attitude.
Troubles of the pregressives in the
Wisconsin congressional delegation at
Washington, is being tread out of the
party" by the administration Republi-
cans, is caid by these conservatives
as reasons that have caused progress
sive Republicans in Wisconsin to seek
rehabilitation, There are persistent
rumors of coming break in the ranks
of the progressives, according to these
conservative leaders.
Two years ago the fractional lines
twe-s tightly drawn. Progressives and
conservatives seldom mingled, but as
a general thing maintained a mutual
aloofness, and in some cases, an at
titude of apparent hostility. There
was little fraternalizing in the legis-
lative cloakrooms and corridors or in
hotel Hobbies. In Legislative sessions
the lines were as tensely drawn.
The critical observer of the 1925
legislative session notes a distinct
change of attitude on the part of pro-
gressives. There remains some of the
lines of Cleavage, but a more tolerant
and friendly attitude on both sides
When issues are Joined on senate and
assembly floor there apparently is dis
played less of the bitterness of former
years and the battles have been for
the most part good natured ones.

Survey S h VS. KenOsha
Leads State in City Plan
ming Progress.
II FOR; | AGAINST
Kenosha Answers IL of the Is
Questions in the Affirmative
Showing It's Progress.

Kenosha stands ace high among the
cities of Wisconsin in the progress
made in city planning activities ac-
cording to the result of survey OF
Wisconsin cities which has just been
completed This survey shows Keno
sha leading the way in the movement,
q ayes" was answered to II of the
questions here with only one mo,
each eyes" denoting progress made IN
development and establishment of a
definite city plan. The one mo" is
in reality not negative answer as it
refers to whether or not changes have
yet been made in the zoning ordl-
nance and thus far no call for such
has come in Kenosha.
Milwaukee is a close second with
is eyes" answers and "No." Ra-
cine did not answer the majority Of
the questions merely reporting that
no city plan commission existed IN the
city.
The survey covered the following
sixteen leading cities Of Wisconsin,:
Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Madison,
Superior, Sheboygan, Green Bay, La
Crosse, Appleton, Beloit, Eau Claire,
West Allis, GAINESVILLE, Marinette,
Stevens Point, Ashland. The cities are
named above in the order of their
rank in population extending from
Milwaukee with approximately 100000
To Ashland with 10000. The survey
therefore covered 91O,7OO Of the urban
population of Wisconsin of 100000.
The questions asked covered the
following points:
al Does city plan commission
exist in the city and when was it ap-
pointed2
(2) Has city plan been adopted
and when2
Does the city plan provide for: CD

MEDICAL SOCIETY
URGES CHANGES
Meet City Officials and De-
partment Heads to Iron
Out Problems.
DEPLORE PATERNALISM

" Problems which mutually confront
members of the medical profession,
city officials, health and social well
fare workers were aired at a special
meeting of the Kenosha County Medi-
cal society at the Elks' club on Friday
evening. Members of the city council,
the city manager, and executives of
various city departments were invited
to meet with the medical men to dis
cuss these problems and attempt to
arrive at some equitable idea for their
solution. Considerable light on these
difficulties was shown for the benefit
of all concerned in a long and intense
ly interesting-and at times even
heated--discussion.
The medical society has prepared
a series of recommendations which 1T
is ready to suggest to the proper au-
thorties outlining what it feels to be
list Of improvements aimed at vari-
Gus city welfare departments. 1t
points out certain alleged errors and
misconceptions in the charitable
duties of the health department, the
social service league, the child well
fare departments, and certain acts OF
the city administration, and seeks to
get cooperation from all Of these
agencies in reaching a common agree
ment whereby these problems and
difficulties can be eliminated for the
benefit of all concerned.
To Investigate Thoroughly.
I MANY of these items pointed out
are Of purely a technical nature in
medicine while others are of more
general scope. The, medcala society,
for instance, seeks to curb consider
able of the charitable work being car
ried on by various agencies in Keno
sha, claiming that a great deal of it
is unnecessary, and alleging that much
of the rec clinical service being rend-
cred Kenoshans and beng paid for out
of funds contributed for charity is to
great extent distributed unwisely.
During the discussions the medical
professions side was presented by DR..
w. c. Stewart, who presided at the
meeting, DR.. G. F. Adams, Dr. J. F.
Hastings, Dr. C. R. Caughey, DR.. Thad
Ashley, DR.. C. H. Gephart, DR.. Cent?
Perry and DIR. T. j. Toner.
For the viewpoint of the organiza-
tions and departments to which sug-
gestions would be made, DR.. Gustav
Windesheim, City Manager c. M. 0s-
born, Councilman Hugh a e n,
George Maher, president of the Ke-
nosha Service league, and Mrs. Hazel
TING Nidey, secretary of the Service
league joined in the discussion.
Condemn Paternalism.
The gist of the argument condemned
so-called paternalism and socialism in
medicine as detrimental to the best in
terests of a community. State aid
medicine was pointed out as an instru-
ment which it behooved a community
to avoid entirely. Charitable work
should be confined entirely to INDECENT
cases alone, according to the recon-
mendations of the medical society.
The arguments pro and con opened
up large field for further discus
sion and upon the suggestion of Mr..
Maher, a committee consisting Of
three members of the medical society
will meet with the other organizations
interested and a thorough investiga-
ton of the points brought out will be
made. il was promised.
