Amusement for all Committee Inspectors Busy Testing the Grade of Liquors Sold By Saloons aud Drug Stores SALOONS APPREHEND DANGER Some of the Dealers Fear That Licenses May be Refused if Liquor is Found to be Below the Government Standard Kenosha saloons and particularly the liquor sold in them are undergoing an inspection and three officials of the government known as are in Kenosha Visiting the various places where intoxicating liquors are sold with a view of testing the liqours on hand The inspection is not only for the saloons but the work of the inspectors also takes in the drug stores and in fact every place where liqriors are sold The inspectors came to Kenosha on Tuesday afternoon and it will probably take several weeks to complete the test of all the liquors in Kenosha The inspectors came without any warning and in some of the saloons the men chused consternation by taking samples of the liquor offered for sale It is supposed that these samples wefe taken for the purposes of examination and that if it fails to meet the tests demanded by the government that there will be arrests for violating the government provisions in regard to the quality of liquors sold The government inspectors are especially on the track of certain blended whiskies which are alleged to fail to meet the requirements of the government pure food laws It may be months before the results of the tests are given to the public and in the meantime the saloon men will be in hot water Some of the dealers in goods seem to fear that the visit of the inspectors at this time may have something to do with the issuance of the regular government licenses which will go into effect the first of next month and they fear that the report of impure goods being on sale may result in the revenue officers holding up their permits This has never been done in Kenosha but it is admitted that the government is enforcing the pure food iqpre rigidly then ever before All of the Kenosha saloons have made application for government as well as city licenses and these licenses must be secured from the government before the city can issue licenses to the keepers of the various places In most of the saloons of the city the inspection took but a few minutes and the gravity test was regarded as sufficient to determine the purity of the liquors offered for sale The inspectors refuse to talk of the work being done in Kenosha declaring that any facts that the government sees fit to give out will reach the interested patties in due time and that the public would not be interested in the work of the inspectors One thing is certain and that is that the inspection of liquors at this tixe has been more general than in any former year in Kenosha- -Under the law the government would have the right to confiscate any liquor found in either saloons of drug stores which do not come up to the provisions of the federal pure food laws MERCHANT WEDS HERE Thomas B' Crawford of Chicago

the great contest that is on at golf courses throughout the west today for possession of the Tom Morris trophy The Kenosha club did not enter any team for the trophy it being' one of the few Wisconsin

the Western Golf Association KICK ON CARRIAGES Fifth Ward Residents Ask That Pearl St be KeptOpen for Workingmen People living in the Fifth ward of the city have filed a complaint with the police asking that carriages be forced to desist from blocking Pearl street just south of the Northwestern railway station It is alleged that the carriages block the street to such an extent that at times it is impossible for the workingmen to go to shops on the east of the Northwestern tracks The drivers of the carriages have called into question the right of the city to prevent their standing on the street along the railway tracks and it looks as if the fight may be a pretty one before it is settled CONLEY LOSES FIGHTS Order of Governor Nips In the Bud the Career of Kenosha Bantam Weight MOST FIGHT IN OTHER STATES The order of Governor Gillet putting an end to prize fighting in California will probably put a big crimp in the future of our own Frankie Conley the present bantamweight champion Governor Gillett has announced that his order will not only affect the Johnson-Jeffries fight but all other prize fights in California and he has named Conley in his open letter as a prize fighter The beating which the Kenosha boy gave Monte Attell a few weeks ago is one of the incidents stated by the governor in his letter directing his attorney general to stop the fight on California soil Conley had several battles on the fire for the next few months and all of them were to have been fought in California Only Tuesday Conley had opened negotiations for a forty-five round fight with Abe Attell and Attell was anxious to wipe out the disgrace of the family by defeating Conley In addition to this Conley was booked to meet Sam Keller the English bantamweight championship claimant at Los Angeles and it is expected that this fight will also be called off so far as California is concerned It is possible that the coast sports will be able to find some place where they can pull off these battles but if California clamps the lid down it is generally believed that there will be little moneys in the fighting business for another year at least Local fans who had planned to make the long trip to California to witness the championship battle were disgusted with the action of Governor Gillett in making the battle an impossibility in California sports have their ears to the ground anxious to hear of any change in the fight program NOTICE Section 4445 of the Revised Statutes of Wisconsin provides: That any person who shall wilfully expose any poison with the intent that the

be Placed on the Contractors Who Seek to Bid for the Contract Architect Joseph Lindl working with Alderman James Filbin and the other members of the council' committee on building and water works has

by the council and that the improvement of the (entral Engine House which includes the building of an entire front to correspond with the maintportion of the city hall will cost in thg neighborhood Only slight changes were made in the plans as referred to the committee with the sanction of the council and the committee was given power to act in the preparation -f the final plans and the specifications These changes have been made to make the building a'lit-tle more uniform with the postoffice building A small amount of ornamental stone finisli has been added to both the Market Square and Chicago street fronts of the building' and it is thought that this with the addition' tf a system of outside lamps 'will add'd great'dcaL to the beauty of tie finished structure The -details for the interior of tbl building follow the original plans for the building very closely Provision is made for four cells on the basement floor of the building and provision is made for an added cell room if one is needed at a later date The division walls of the building have been changed from brick to fire proof tile thus making it possible to make all of the offices a little larger This change is made with the full approval of the committee and it is certain that the plan will increase the utility of the building for the city The plans will not assign the various offices but this will be done by the council in most cases after the building is completed Alderman Filbin does not expect any delay in getting the work on the new building started and there will "be no limitations as to who will bid for the contract It is expected that practically all of the general contractors in the city will bid for the job and in addition that bids will be received from many contractors from other cities The whole matter is in the hands of the committee and it is not expected that there will be any disappointing delays in the work Aider-man Filbin declares that he expects to have the city hall ready for occupancy in nine pionths and this will be about the time that the lease the old county building now used as a city hall expires COMMENCEMENT TONIGHT Three Young Ladies to Receive Diplo-' mas From

Bristol Farm Hand Cut By Ail Italian At the Hillside Hotel CHARGE TUCKER WITH LARCENY Italian Alleged to Have Cut Accused Man Escaped After Being Badly Wounded by Tucker in Hand to Hand Contest There was a cutting affray at the rear of a saloon near the village of Truesdell in the town of Pleasant Prairie off Wednesday afternoon which resulted in two men being badly cut up and one of the injured men James Tucker a farm hand employed in the town of Bristol is now in the county jail Tucker was slashed with a razor in the right and left sides and at the back of the head It is said that he was cut by an Italian and the sheriff and his men are now seeking to arrest the Italian whose name is unknown No charge has as yet been made against Tucker but he will probably be held on a charge of petty larceny The whole trouble came up over the alleged theft of two ferrets from the Uihlein farm Tucker had been in the crowd attending the horse sale at the farm and just after four Wednesday afternoon he came to the saloon bringing with hinL a couple of ferrets which he offered for sale It-was alleged that one of them belonged to a foreman of a construction crew working near Truesdell and this man came into the saloon when Tucker was attempting to sell the ferrets and at once protested Tucker and the man cable to blows and at this time the Italian waded into the fight and drawing a razor he began slashing at Tucker The first time he struck him in the left side making a bad wound and this aroused all the fight there was in Tucker and he started after the Italian and after being cut several times he managed to secure possession of the razor which he turned on the Italian slashing him about the wrists and arms until the razor was broken Sheriff Gunter was at the Uihlein farm attending the sale and he was hurriedly called to the saloon He had no trouble arresting Tucker as he was weak from loss of blood but the Italian had escaped when the sheriff arrived It was supposed that he had been hidden by some of the members of the construction crew and for several hours search was made for him but not a trace of iim could be found It was alleged by witnesses to -e encounter that the Italian was ba wounded but notwithstanding wounds he managed to get away There is a lot of standing grain in the neighborhood and it is thought that the Italian concealed himself in the grain until nightfall ajid then secured medical aid and escaped District Attorney Baker will probably ask for a hearing for Tucker on a charge of pettit larceny 'late this afternoon and will have the case continued pending the efforts of the officers to locate the Italian While Tucker was badly injured there is no reason to fear ythat his wounds will result fatally It is claimed that the name of the Italian is not known to eveiF the members of the construction crew but he had worked about Truesdell for some time WEDS CHICAGO MAN Miss Edna Tegtmeyer and Geo Hilmea Married at the Home of the Bride
