I GET 1,000 SIGNATURES Appeal Is Made for Funds To Carry On Campaign for-New Form of Government. At 10:30 this morning a committee met Mayor Walter S.

Goodland at his office In the City Hall, and presented a petition signed by one thousand and ten freeholders of the city, asking for an election at which the voters can vote upon the 'question of commission form of government. In presenting the petition, the committee submitted the following communication, explanatory of the matter, which was received by the mayor: "To His Honor, the Mayor of the city of Racine: "In presenting this petition, containing approximately 1010 signatures, for ah election to be held, at which i the voters of Racine shall vote upon the commission form of government, it is the 8inoer! belief of the speaker that this Is the beginning of a new era of municipal government for the city of Racine. 9 "Between 200 and 300 cities in the United States have already adopted this form of city administration, and the results 'have 'been more than satisfactory. Those cities which have voted for it, have been eminently successful- lnr-nd-ucingTmanufactnrlng plants to locate "there. Besides attracting mercantile establishments and new.

residents because of the excellent service i of public officials In making an Ideal municipality. "These thousand petitioners represent 133 over one-fourth of the votes cast at the spring election of 1912, and every day adds to the number of these In favor. It Is not the purpose of these petitioners to cast any stones at the present or past civic adminls-tlon. The sole idea Is to put before the voters of Racine a strictly business proposition which experience has shown will eliminate many mistakes hitherto made because: of the system in vogue, not because of Individual unfitness. "Your petitioners believe it would be best to have the election hold at the same time as the Spring election, viz: Tuesday, April first, as In that way, If the voters decide favorably, there will be a year's time to educate ourselves In the matter and have placed In nomination men best fitted for their task.

"We thank you for your Interest in this matter and not only to receive what support jfou deem fit to give, but also the assistance of every cltiaen who has the interests of "best government at heart." Will Consult Burgess The mayor informed the committee that he would at once consult City Attorney Burgess on the legal aspect of the matter and that in all prob ability he would call for the people to vote on the question at the election to be held on April 1st. While the mayor did not commit himself as to whether he was in favor or against the commission form of government, he said that he noticed that sentiment was changing In favor flt and he was we 1J pleased with the communication of the committee. While those In favor of the commission form of government have no campaign fund at: present, necessarily, it wilt take some money to get speakers, hire halls, send out literature, etc. As the move is one entirely independent of party, the solicitation of funds is a more difficult proposition. Therefore, voluntary contributions -will have to be relied upon.

In the main, to finance the campaign. This being the case, the Journal-News will be pleased to receive any contributions" to "aid this movement, and furthermore will be glad to publish the names of those sending In money unless the contributor signi- ties otherwise. Any amount la welcome.

I LONDON, Feb. 3 The Balkan war will begin again at seven o'clock this evening unless the last peace efforts of the powers Bhould succeed or Turkey decide at the eleventh hour to surrender.

It has even been decided who shall fire the first shot, as Turkey has stated that she will allow her adversaries to take the aggressive. The immediate object of the armies of the allies Is the capture of Adrlan-ople and Scutari. For the present at any. rate the Bulgarian generals will simply try to hold the Turkish troops at Tchatalja. The Servians must keep many troops in Albania where a rising against the Invaders has been organized.

Albanians Take Field. It is declared that the Albanians with eighty thousand rifles under' the command of Austrian officers are taking the field and it is rumored that they have fought a battle at Dlbra, where the Servians lost heavily. The Albanians are said to be greatly Irritated by the wholesale arrests of thoso suspected of being interested In the provisional government. Correspondents are Barred While the possible renewal of the war may put a strain upon the co-operation of the European powers they have thus far worked in harmony and the departure of Prince Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsf uerst from Vienna with an autograph letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph to the Emperor Nicholas of Russia gives additional hope that they will do so until the end. The Turkish government like that of Bulgaria, will not allow newspaper correspondents to accompany armies In1 the field.

Civic Workers See Second Hull House For the Belle City Officials and members of the Central association are showing great Interest In the plan for consolidating all1 of the work-in a building near the Northwestern station. All are enthusiastic over the possibilities of extending the work for boys and girls, and It Is thought that every line of work will receive such a stimulus by the change as to mark a new epoch for social service in Racine. Some point to the fact that- Hull house and other famous neighborhood houses had small beginnings, and express the belief that Racine too can have a work of this kind that will not fall short of the highest standards of usefulness and humanity. The plans for the remodelled building are meeting with much favorable comment.

Some of the special features admired are the large amount of space available for classes for girls; the arrangement of the boys' quarters alt on one- floor so that they can be readily tupervlsed, and the separation of the general offices from the portion of the building gfven to neighborhood work. The meeting tonight at the library building at 8 o'clock is expected to determine finally whether the Central association shall undertake this venture. Not only members of the board and the standing committees are invited to It, but all citizens who feel an Interest In Racine and would like to see it foremost in feoclal and humanitarian effort.

Feb. 3 The government today Buffered Its first big defeat in the recent antl trust campaign, when the supreme court held that the officials of the United Shoe Machinery company had not violated the- Sherman anti-trust law by organizing that company. The court did not pass upon the legality of the system by which the company leases machines on terms that "no machinery be used. The action of the supreme court today grew out of the Massachusetts federal courts annulling one of two indictments brought against the shoe machinery company officials. The Massachusetts took the position that the Indictment did not state an offense under the Sherman law.

The government applied to the supreme court by virtue of the criminal appeals act of 1907, on the ground that It did state an offense. Machinery on The govarnment in the indictment alleged that Sidna W. Wlnalow, Edward P. Hurd. George W.

Brown, William Barbour and Elmer F. Howe violated the law, first by organizing the United Shoe Machinery corporation and second by a system of leasing their machines, whereby patrons were compelled to promise not to use any machinery made by 'independents and to use only that made by the alleged combine. The charge was that the shoe machinery corporation took over the business of the Consolidated and Mackay Lasting Machinery company, manufacturing sixty per cent of all lasting machines, the Kay shoe machinery company. manufacturing seventy per cent of all heeling machines and eighty per cent of all met allic-fastening machines and of the Ooodyeur shoe machinery company, manufacturing 80 per cent of all the welt sewing and out-sole-stltching machines. The government claimed this put about 80 per cent of the business of the manufacturing shoe machinery Into one concern and that, that being an "undue proportion," of the trade was a violation of the law.

Justified by Patent 'Laws It did not claim that there had been unfair competition as in the Standard Oil or tobacco cases. The shoe machinery officials declared the supreme court could not review the action of the Massachusetts courts because the criminal appeals act was repealed by not being included in the Judicial code, of 1912. Jt fdrther urged that the groups consolidated into the corporation were non-competing and 'that the leasing system was iustifled by the patent laws. Justice Holmes, announcing the unanimous decision of the court said that the lower court regardedthe indictment as merely referring to the organisation of the company, not to the "tying clause" leases. That being the case, he added, the supreme court must accept that Interpretation without question.

He safd this reduced the case to a narrow compass and pointed out the several groups combined in the' organization of the United Shoe Machinery company were non-competitive. The justice declared the Sherman law did not contemplate the doing of business by the smallest possible isolated unit3. i Two indictments were brought against the shoe machinery officials. The de- i clsion today concerned only one of these Indictments. Anderson Fails To Return As Actuary "MADISON.

It will cause no surprise to many If he refused-.
