DIVORCE BILL
GOES FORWARD
Bill Sponsored by KenOsha
Passes Assembly With
Record Vote Today.
NOW BEFORE SENATE

Whether Kenosha will continue to
be the Reno for the state of Wis
consin or not is now one step nearer
decision, according to dispatches
from Madison today. The Kenosha
divorce bill known technically as 257-
S, in Groduced by State Senator George
Hull Of this district, today passed the
assembly by record vote of n to II.
This is the bill sponsored by Keno
sha's representatives at Madison. 1t
now goes to the senate for final ap-
prevail and thence to the governor for
his signature. A survey OF opinion
among the senators shows considera-
BILE encouragement, according to Madi-
son advices. and it is expected that
the Kenosha divorce bill viii be passed
without great deal of opposition.
Todays balloting showed, it is be-
lieved, the influence which sKenosha
agitation has been playing on the
bill. When the bill was first intro
DIV OGHdbOT anu AClCAA
to the committee on the judiciary an
unfavorable report was returned.
Judge John Slater and District At
torney Lewis Powell, together with
others interested in the bill in Keno
sha county, appeared before the COM
mittee in Madison and asked for re-
hearing. This was granted, and when
Kenosha's side of the case was given
the committee, it was voted to return
the bill with recommendation that it
be passed Today's action confirmed
that decision.
According to the provisions of the
bill, all divorces must be tried in the
county in which the parties to the
divorce reside. This clause would
eliminate Kenosha county courts as
the place of action for the many Mil
waukee divorce cases that are brought
to the municipal court here. The bill
also provides that "every action must
be commenced in the county in which
the property or some part thereof is
situated, subject to change of the
place of trial unless the judge Of
court in some other county, upon APP
plication and showing reasonable
cause, enters an order changing the
place of trial to his court; but in
every other action whatever the
county that IS designated in the COM
plant shall be the place of trial
thereof unles the same be changed
by special order"
Before the bill reached the present
stage it was strongly opposed by as
semblymen from Milwaukee, who
claimed that the provisions of the
bill were Stacking the activities of
Milwaukee attorneys in offering i'm
mediate divorce suit service for their
clients. 4

Increased Demand
Need of Farmers

Madison.-C r)-Increased demand
instead of decreased production is the
real need to prevent agricultural de-
preston, Edward Nordman, state
commissioner of markets, declared In
a statement issued today.
The policy of curtailment of agri-
cultural production is failure, the
commissioner asserted.
"What can and should be done to
improve farm markets is to make the
demand for farm produce keep pace
with the supply" he continued. "The
problem of good markets is the prob
lem of justly compensating the in
diyiduals comprising the population
of country for the services which
they perform"
Taxation of land values instead of
farm or other improvement values
would make land cheap and bring
about fair wages and good markets,
he argued.

Men and Women Arrested
Found in Farmhouse
Saturday Night.
MEN TRY TO FLEE
One Falls in Water Box at the
Well and Another Gets
Tangled in Wire Fence.

1t was case of each man for him
self and the devil take the hindmost
Saturday night when the sheriff's men
raided an alleged ill-fame den on the
Grand View road in the township Of
Pleasant Prairie. Four women and
eight men were arrested.
In the tuMult and excitement that
followed the news that the claw
had arrived, and that the house was
"full of law to use the expression
used by colored woman during
similar raid on negro joint in Ke-
nosha, the men began to scatter.
One man plunged from the house
so wildly that he catapulted straight
into the watering box for horses at
the we'll; he took a plunge that gave
him an old-time Saturday night bath
at an unexpected moment. 1t cooled
his head but added fire to his heels
for he was out of the box and off
again before the laughing deputies
could catch him.
Sheriff Gets the Tip.
Sheriff Willems got the tip during
the past week that all was not going
forward as respectfully as it should
at a certain farmhouse on a well
known old farmstead on the Grand
View avenue road. Saturday night he
assigned Captain Steve Robinson, and
Deputy Sheriffs Nick Otto, Chef Bos-
letter and Tom Jester to the task
of raiding the place.
spare no one" said the sheriff,
"bring in every man and woman that
you find on the place"
The deputies obeyed orders, that is
they got all except two who were most
jealous in making their getaway.
The following women we're arrested:
Mrs Eva Meyer said to be renting the
place. who gave her address as pleas
ant Prairie; Louise Jackson, who
said she came from Rock Island, ILL.,,
Lucille Stevens, who gave her address
also as"Pleasant Prairie" but who said
she came from Iowa, and Villa Nc
Graw, who said her home was in
Aurora, Ill.
The following men were arrested:
Charles Pulich, 62S Pleasant Place,
Kenosha; Abe Eiseman, a railroad
brakeman with headquarters at Rond-
out, and six from Waukegan, Jack
Smith, Harry Wilson, Robert Sherman,
Charles Jones, Charles Olson, and
Merrill McCabe.
Falls into Barb Wire.
Besides the man who fell into the
watering box there were two who in
fleeing from the house ran pell-mell
into barb wire fence. The deputies
heard the creak of the wire and then
a volley of suppressed oaths, as the
victims nursed their bruises. One of
the men who tried to escape in this
wise was captured.
Mrs. Meyer is said to be the person
who rented the house. 1t is alleged
to have been used as an designation
place. 1t has ten or more rooms. Mrs.
Meyer said she was renting rooms to
the girls. She made no adequate ex-
PLANTATION of the presence of the mob
of men at the house at the hour of
eleven o'clock Saturday night when
the raid was made.

SHORTHAND MAY
BE ANNEXED
Model City to South Might
be Subdivision Not SUI
burb of KenOsha.
KENOSHA HESITATES
City Council Is Investigating
Situation Before Acting on
Proposal for Water Service.

Whether Shorthand, the model city
which is to be built along the lake
shore south of the present limits OF
Kenosha by the Mrs. Edith Rookie
Teller Mccormick interests, is to be
suburb or a subdivision of Kenosha,
is the question which is being con-
sidered by the city council now ac-
cording to information which was Sc
cured today This is being considered
in connection with the application
which the ,Krenn and Dato firm, the
agents for the Shorthand interests,
have made with The city of Kenosha
for the furnishing of water service to
that district.
It is understood that the way has
been left open either for the tract
to be developed as an independent city
with water service furnished by Ke-
nosha, or if necessary to secure water
service for it to be annexed to the city
as subdivision.
The cityJof Kenosha is hesitating be-
fore accepting either one OF these
propositions. The proposal has been
laid before the railroad commission
with a result that this body has hand
ed down a ruling which would es-
tablish rates for Kenosha to furnish
water service to the territory on
fairly profitable basis. The city, how
ever, is hesitating because no matter
how favorable this contract might be
with the contracting firm, as soon
as the tract became village or
city. even though there were only a
few residents, application might be
made to the railway company for re-
adjustment of the rates by these resi-
dents.
Kenosha could not then drop the
water service started and would be
forced to continue service at whatever
rate might be established.
The proposal of annexation also
brings another problem. If this large
tract is annexed, it would solve the
question of water service to fair
degree but this would also bring with
it a responsibility resting on the
city to furnish adequate fire protec-
ton to this district. If some property
owner desired to erect building at
the far south end of the Az mile tract,
the city would be under the respon-
sibility of protecting this in case Of
fire. It is therefore question as to
whether the city desires to accept
so large a subdivision.
The Shorthand problem has been
discussed by the council informally
several times. 1t is understood that
this discussion will be continued at
a meeting of the council as commit
tee of the whole on next Monday
evening.

Joseph Pluto
Admits Own Act
Man Found With Bullet Hole in Ear
Tells Police at Last That He
Shot Himself.

Joseph Pluto of Jenne street, who
lies at the Kenosha hospital recover
ing from a gunshot wound in the
right ear, told the police on Monday
that it was he and none other who
fired the shot. Pluto in his first state
ment tried to implicate his former

The police doubted Plute's first
story, and their continued question:
ing on Monday resulted in the state
ment from him that no one but him
self had fired the shot. He said life
had no more interest for him and he
wanted to end it all. Pluto secured

cipal court a week ago, charging in
fidelity, and secured also the custody
of his two-year-old child who now
