AMERICANS SEE
 BULL FIGHTING
TWO BOXES WERE OCCUPIED BY MEMBERS OF UNITED STATES DELEGATION TO PAN-AMERI- GAN CONFERENCE.

Mexico City. November A-The bull fighting season in Mexico opened this aft ernoon with Mazzantini, the famous Span ish matador, in the arena.
 Many prominent people in the social and political world of Mexico, Excluding cabinet ministers were p1csent Two boxes were occupied by some of the members of the United States delegation to the Pan-American conference and par ties of Mexican friends. General Rafael Reyes, the Colombian delegate. and the so-called peace commissioners of his country, occupied a box together. The other South American delegations were literally represented.
 Though the performance did not come up to expectations and 1t is generally conceded that Mazzantini had lost much of his agility and skill with advancing years. the fight was remarkable for slaughter of horses, no less than twelve being gored to death.

NEGRO MOB OF 200
 LYNCH A NEGRO
FRANK THOMAS SHOT AND KILLED A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY BECAUSE HE COULD NOT PAY HIM THIRTY CENTS.

Shreveport, La, November 24 The particulars of a sensational murder and lynching have just reached this city from Hernadon plantation, about eight miles below Shreveport on the Bossier parish side of Red river
 The most curious feature of this affair is that the men who did the lynching were negroes. and strung up one of their own race. The lynching was attended with all the sensational details which generally go to make up the history of such events. The negro avengers not only determined upon the summary exc cution of their victim, but took him from the hands of a white officer for that purpose.
 The killing which led up to the lynch ing occurred Saturday night.
 Frank Thomas. a negro employed on the Amelia plantation, shot and killed a 14-year-old negro boy named Wilburn over a debt of 30 cents. The two were driving home together in a wagon. When they reached point between the Amelia plantation and Mulhaupt place about 1 miles from Shreveport, Thomas demanded 30 cents which Wilburn owed him. The boy did not have the money and so in formed his companion. Thomas there upon drew a pistol and shot the boy dead. The killing was witnessed by a number of excited negroes.
 This morning Deputy Sheriff Holmes arrested Thomas and was proceeding to- ward Shreveport with his prisoner when a mob of 200 negroes and five or six white men suddenly appeared in the road. took possession of Thomas and promptly strung him up to the limb of a tree. where the body was left hanging until this evening.
 This was the first daylight lynching in these parts for many years.

Madame Friedland Gives an Entertaining
Talk Before the Woman's Club.


At the Simmons public library, last
evening, Madame Fried1and, a learned
lady from the land of the Muscovite,
1ectured instructive1y and entertain
irg1y before the Woman's Club of
Kenosha, on that interesting subject:
FThe Embodiment of the Art of Music
in Russia" She referred to Dargo-
mishsky, Ba1akireff, Kuy, Borodine,
Mussorgsky and Rmsky Korssa-
koff, who were pioneers in Russian
national song, and to Schaikofsky and
Rubinstein, the composers of the mod
ern era.
Russian music is little known and
little understood, yet it has reached
high standard. Previous to the time
of Michia1 Ivanovich G1inke the music
of the Muscovite people was of the
most primitive order-ditties and
catches from the Greek and the Ita1-
ian. Glinka, the founder of the
Russian school of music, was born in
1904 and died in 1857. At the age of
thirteen he was student of music; in
his seventeenth year he was COM
poser VI COuS1uCIdO1C ICuOWu; III 4OoO-
1888 he studied in Italy and Germany.
He devoted himself to operate COM
position, was the author of ''Life for
the Car, the story being taken from
the invasion of Russia by the Poles
early in the 18th century. This was
the beginning of Russian national
song, and the opera was given after
the defeat of Napoleon in 1872. G1inka
also composed numerous songs and
romances.
Considerable Russian music is pre-
scented on the opera boards of Europe,
and the speaker hoped that the time
will not be long till Russian songs will
be sung in ''the land of the free and
the home of the brave.''

ments that Kenosha has been favored
with is scheduled for April End at
the Park avenue M. E. church. The
G1ee club of Lawrence university at
Appleton, Wis, while on their Eastern
vacation, will tour the southern part
of the state giving series of concerts
such as only a college g1ee club can
give.
College boys are everywhere well
come because OF the good fellowship
that they represent as well as the jolly
songs that they sing. Kenosha is well
represented at Appleton by some of
our best young people so that an ad-
ditiona1 interest is lent to the coming
of the G1ee club.

ST. JAMES CHURCH RELIEVED OF s5ooooo OF INDEBTEDNESS

indebtedness that has hung over the
church for so many years.
The announcement of these splendid
gifts to the church was made at the
service Sunday morning, and the trus-
tees of the church will meet this even
ing to make arrangements to accept
the gifts.
The struggle of the st. James church
has appealed to many in Kenosha.
While the congregation is one of the
largest in the city it is composed large
1y of poor people, and the building of
the church left large debt unpaid.
For several years the people of the
church have been working to reduce
the debt and some ten thousand had
been raised, but large amounts were
used up in the payment of interest and
taxes, and the debt did not grow ma
teria11y less.
At the last annual meeting of the
church the debt was $15,055, in the
shape of bonds bearing an annual in
terest of six per cent. When this an
nouncement was made Mr.. Simmons
went to the pastor of the church and
told him that he would be willing to
assist the church to reduce the debt to
an even ten thousand dollars, and in
order to secure this reduction he told
Father Roche that he would give one
half the necessary amount if the re-
mainder could be raised among the
members of the congregation.
Father Roche took the matter under
consideration, and, finding that the
people of the church were not in con-
dition to pay so large sum, he took
from his private funds savings of
many years as miuister-and told
Mr.. Simmons that he was ready to &C
cept the offer.
The money will be paid at once and
the church debt will be reduced to ten
thousand dollars.
Mr.. Simmons has decided to help the
church further, as at the meeting last
evening he proposed plan for the re-
funding of the church debt so as to
issue new bonds bearing interest at
the rate of four per cent.

John Yule Will Permit the Company to
Make Connections on Park Avenue
A truce has been declared IN the old
fight between John T. Yule and the
Wisconsin Telephone Company and as
a result the company will be permitted
to make connections on Park avenue
without any objection from Mr.. Yuie.
The president of the "Kickers" only
made this concession, however, after
the company had signed contract de-
c1aring that the making of the connec-
ton would not in any way prevent
Mr.. Yu1e from calling up the questions
involved in the fight in the courts. He
saws that the fight will he finished IN
the courts soon.
1t seems that Mr.. Yu1e has gone into
the matter deeper than any former con-
testant against the company, and has
secured legal opinions in regard to the
difference between "pole" and a
sssaw-log.'' He claims that while the
ordinance of the company authorizes
it to erect ''po1es', no reference IS
made to "saw-1ogs", and that accord
ing to the dictionary the alleged poles
are not poles but saw-1ogs. The fight
promises to be a very interesting
one,
