OLD MEN RETAINED
Fire and Police Commission Makes Few
Changes in the Departments

The police officers of the city and a
goodly number of applicants for places
on the force went through their first
examination on last Saturday after
noon and as d result there will be some
immediate changes in the police force.
The old men who have been ordered
by the mem bers of the commission to
remain in service are Joseph c. New
house, Paul Pabst, Clarence Stevens
and Officer Hansen. The first new
man selected was John Wade who will
be on service tonight.
Officer Leik has not yet been re-
elected by the commission but it is pos
sible that he will be selected later.
Officer Jensen who has made good
record on the force was an applicant
for appointment, but he could not
pass the physical examinat ton on &C
count of his height. Officer Michael
Link did not apply for position.
Eight officers will be appointed in
all and the remaining three will be
selected from the eligible list within
the next day or two. Chief of Police
Reinold has not as yet applied for re-
appointment to his Office but he will
be given a chance to take special ex-
animation within a few days. The
other men on the eligible list have
not been announced but the list con-
tains a number of men who have given
the city good service as police officers.
After an examination of the police
officers and applicants had been con-
cluded the Commission went to the
Central Engine House where an ex-
animation of the fremen was held. It
was decided to keep all the present
firemen in Office for another year.
Chief Barr will also. probably be re-
tanned.
The city council has not as yet taken
the steps necessary TO fix the salaries
of the police, but they will fix these
salaries at the next meeting.
The police who have been selected
will report for duty this evening and
there is great rejoicing among them
on account of the selections made.
1t is the plan Of the commission to
keep close watch On the men and the
vacancies in the force will be filled by
promotions for good service.

TO BETTER RURAL ROADS.
Postoffice Departments Scheme For High
way Improvement.

PostOffice Departments Scheme For High
way Improvement.
The postoffice department has a
scheme under consideration which if
adopted, will help to do away with the
bad roads to be found in many parts
of the country. The plan is to have
inspectors appointed in the rural free
delivery part of the service whose duty
it shall be to determine whether the
roads over which it is proposed rural
carriers shall travel are fit.
At present the department is swamp
ed with the complaints of the rural
carriers about the condition of the
roads over which they are expected to
carry the mail. The department has
had no way of making the road super
visors better the condition Of the roads.
Now it is proposed to ask congress for
authority to abolish the rural routes
10 re-esta blish them until they have
been so repaired as to make 1t possible
fer an ordinary horse to drag an ordi-
nary vehicle over the roadbed in the
fail and spring months.
The duty of the proposed inspectors
shall be to examine all the roads about
which complaint is made. If they find
the allegations to be true, it shall be
their duty to notify the supervisor of
roads for the townships through which
the road passes, that unless it is put
into condition within the fixed time
the carrier service will be discontinued.
There are about $4,000 rural free de-
livery routes and on three-fourths of
them the roads are in bad condition
for about half the year.

FOR MEMORIAL DAY
Fred S. Lowell Post G. A. r.. Arrange For
Annual Celebration.

At the last meeting of the Fred s.
Lowell Post G. A. r. arrangements
were made for the annual celebration
of Memorial Day in Kenosha and the
day promises to be Memorial day in,
more ways than one.
The soldiers in the city are annually
getting less IN number but the old boys,
will again march to the cemeteries this
year and strew the graves of the heroic
dead with plants and flowers.
The great deeds of the Kenosha
county heroes will again be recalled
and thankful people will be permitted
to honor the memory of the dead by
graves.
The annual celebration of the day
will be held at the soldiers lot in the
city cemetery. 1t will be in keeping
with the ritual of the Grand Army and
the Rev. Florence Buck has been sell
ected to deliver the address of the day.
In the bringing back Of the memoir
les of the past the old soldiers will be
assisted by the city schools and on the
afternoon of Memorial day a service
will be held at the Auditorium of the
High School, under the direction of
the teachers of the school. This enter
tainment will be an ovation IN
Kenosha but it is designed to teach the
pupils of the schools new lessons in
patriotism. For many years the
schools of the city have overlooked the
celebration of Memorial Day but in
the future it will be made a feature of
school work. The service at the High
School will include songs and exercises
by the different members of the school
and an address will be delivered by
some well known orator.
During the year the ranks of the
veterans have been sthinned out by
death and several times the old COM
rades have been called out to bear a
comrade ia arms to his last long steep.
Many of these new graves in the GEM
etery hold the remains of men who
have been strong in the work
of the Grand Army and the day
will be sorrowful one for the veterans
on account of the memories of the past
that it will recall.

Ken0sha Interstate Base Ball Team
Opens the Season With Defeat at
Hands OF Sycamore.
THE NEW TEAM SHOWS UP WELL
Great Crowd Goes to the Park and Cheers
The Players In the First Game of the
Season-BalliOtt Makes Good Record

The first game of the season in the
Interstate Base Bali League. was play
ed at Grand View Park yesterday, and
a large and enthusiastic crowd of local
fans turned out to give the teams a
good send off. The locals went up
against the Sycamores, acknowledged
to be the strongest and fastest team in
the league, and although the home
team lost by score of ten to four, the
followers of the game in Kenosha are
by no means discouraged by the show
ing made by the home club. An un-
fortunate accident necessitated the
shifting about of the team just at the
last minute, but even with this handi,
cap the team as a whole put up first
class article of bali in spots. There
the men showed lack of practice, but
when the team gets down to business
and the men get accustomed to their
new surroundings, Kenosha will have
team that any club will have hard
work to beat
Inc team is painfully weak IN DaSe
running, and time and again fine
chances to score were lost by the run
ners being caught mapping, but this is
one of the faults of the team that
little good coaching and practice will
improve wonderfully.
Ballot pitched a good game with the
exception of one inning, striking out
eleven men and several times pulling
the team out of tight places by his
GOODNESS and perfect command of the
ball at critical stages. If he can put
up the game he did Sunday right along
the Kenoshas ought to land somewhere
near the top of the percentage column
before the season closes.
The local fans, while disappointed
at the loss of the initial game, are
pleased at the showing made by the
team as whole. When one or two
weak points are strengthened and the
team has little more practice, Keno
sha will be able to hold its own in any
company.
The score.

NEW PHONE LINE
Work is Started on Line Which WIN Con.
meet Kenosha with Pleasant Prairie

WORK is Started on Line Which VIII Con.
meet Kenosha With Pleasant Prairie
Eastern Pleasant Prairie is TO be
connected with the city of Kenosha by
an independent telephone line and the
work of setting poles was started in
the village of Pleasant Prairie this
morning. The poles are being set by
the workmen in the employ of the
Pleasant Prairie Telephone company,
a new company which has been Quiet
~ organized in the village during the
last few days. The makeup of the
company. has not as yet been made
public but it is said that many of the
leaders of the town are connected With
the company.
The Bristol Telephone company had
also planned to build line in Pleasant
Prairie and it was feared that hard
contest would result when the setting
OF the polls started this morning. The
Bristol people were on the ground but
they made no effort to prevent the new
company going to work.
The new line, which will extend ali
over the eastern portion of Pleasant
Prairie, is to be purely an independent
inc. 1t is being built along the
Geneva road and will connect with the
independent line recently completed by
G. d. Holt leading from his farm in
the town of Pleasant Prairie to the
city Mr.. Holt is said to be interested
in the new liue and is experimenting
the constructions
The line will not connect with the
Bristol line unless the new company
can make arrangements for a connec-
ton in kenosha and it is claimed that
the Bristol company is very much op
posed to such plan. The line will
touch portion of the county which is
not in any way touched by a phone
system at the present time and it is
thought that is will be one of the most
popular lines of telephones in the
county.
The work on the new line will be
pushed with the greatest possible speed
and it is probable that the line will be
completed by the end of the summer or
in the early fall. The company will
be fully organized during the coming
week and charter will be sought
from the secretary of state.
In the meantime in order to prevent
any other company coming into the
field the managers OF the Pleasant
Prairie company will continue the
work of building the line and will then
turn it over to the company when it is
properly chartered.
H. A. King is one of the promoters
of the new company and his store in
the village will probably be the central
Office of the company.

HIS NINETIETH BIRTHDAY
Dan Head Celebrates Noteworthy Ami
versary on Saturday.

Dah Htad Celebrates Noteworthy ami
versary on Saturday.
Dan Head one of the oldest and best
known pioneers of Kenosha, celebrat-
ed the nintieth anniversary of his
birth at the home of his daughter on
Park Avenue last Saturday. No special
celebration of the event was held but
many of the friends of Mr.. Head
gathered to extend their congratula-
tions to him and hope that he might
live to round out full century of life.
Mr.. Head has been connected with
Kenosha and its business interests for
more than fifty years. He has resided
IN the city since the days of old South
port and has watched the rapid growth
OF Kenosha through many stages.
Mr.. Head was born in Paris Town
ship, Oneida County, New York on
April 18th, 1913, he was son of John
athan Head. Mr.. Head was educated
at the schools of Oneida County and at
the age of eighteen years he learned
the s9ade of wagon maker and he
worked at this trade for several years.
In 1S43 he came to Southport bringing
with him stock of clocks. He fitted
up a wagon at the old Henry Mitchell
wagon shop and started to drive
through the country selling clocks.
During the winter months he was in
charge of a small store at Antioch,
III. With this beginning Mr.. Head,
during his long residence in Kenosha,
made 4 fortune.
Later IN life he returned to South
port and went into the mercantile bus
mess, which he continued until after
the Civil war. During the period of
reconstruction Mr.. Head went to the
South and assisted the government in
building up the farming interests
there. He was in charge of several
large plantations and his work during
the days of the struggle for recon
stfuction was of great value to the
ration.
During his life in the South Mr..
Head had many exciting experiences,
and several times the plantation was
raided by the Rebels but Mr.. Head es-
capped unhurt. His service for the
government in this regard was far
more value than the service given by
many of the soldiers ia the field.
Mr.. Head, after his return to Keno
sha, was in the foundry business, and
had the distinction of being the first
man to manufacture stoves in Wiscon-
sin. In 1875 Mr.. Head was one of the
organizers Of the Dan Head Banking
company, and the remainder of his
life up to the time of his retirement
was spent in this business. Mr.. Head
retired from active business life many
years ago, and has been living in Ke-
nosha and Utica, N. Y.
AS politician Mr.. Head was Re-
publican, and during his residence in
Kenosha he held many Offices of public
trust.

Villas GETS UMBRELLA.
Chicago and Kenosha Friends Come to the
Rescue of Fellow Railroad Man.

chicago anu h0nOSHa FRIENDS come TO the
Rescue of Fellow Railroad Man.
George B Villas, Milwaukee freight
agent of the Northwestern railroad,
last week left an expensive um brel1a
in the Office of the general superin-
tendent of the road at Chicago. He
telegraphed the general superin tend
ent from Milwaukee to forward the
umbrella to him here
"That was the general superintend-
ent's chance to play even with Mr..
Villas" said one of his Milwaukee
friends. "The official sent several tel
egrams to Kenosha railroad men, 'let-
ting them in and telling them that
Mr.. Villas wanted some umbrellas and
that he had given him the contract to
get them. Friday every train from
Chicago brought an umbrella to Mr.
Villas office-not SIS and $40 silk ones,
but the kind you get cheap in lots.
Saturday Mr.. Villas wired the general
superintendent: Umbrellas received;
thanks! think there are more to
come, though, before the Kenosha sup
ply will be exhausted. "-Milwaukee

Crooked Work is Charged in COnnec-
ton With the Burning OF Con-
gress Hall.
EXPLOSION 0RECEDES THE FIRE
Fire4aen Claim That the Building Had
Been Soaked With Gasoline and
Arrests are Promptly Made

Four men and woman are in cells
at the county Jail charged with MAX
ing an attempt to burn Congress hall.
the building owned by Fortune Bros.
Brewing company. The attempt was
made at half past one O'Clock this
morning and the fire and explosion did
damage to the amount of two hundred
dollars. The charges against the
quintette have not as yet been legally
made but the police are Investigating
the case and it is probable that some
action will be taken this afternoon.
According to the stories told by the
fremen the plot to blow up the saloon
was we'll formed and the prompt ar
rival of the fire department was the
only thing that saved the building
from being eaten up by the flames.
The men under arrest are all OF the
Polish variety and the names sched-
uled on the sheriff IS book are John
Stakes, John Johnson, Stanlius Luna
ties, Tony Simons and Mrs. Anna
Gabris.
The woman is the alleged proprietor
OF the saloon. The saloon had been
run by Michael Gabris and is licensed
in his name but it is claimed that
Gabris left the city and went to Chi
cago on Friday and has not been seen
in Kenosha since that time. The men
and woman were arrested by Officers
jensen and Pabst just after the explo-
sion occurred and it is claimed that at
the time of the arrest Mrs. Gabris had
the funds of the saloon tied up IN a
pocket handkerchief.
AS soon as the f1remen arrived at the
saloon they noted the odor of gasoline
and going into the building they dis
covered that the fire had resulted from
an explosion. The floor for space of
six feet square had been saturated
with the explosive and one of the Zig
windows in the front Of the building
had been blown out by the explosion.
The men who had rooms on the second
floor of the building had a narrow es-
cape but both of them escaped without
injury.
The police have been attempting to
IND VINO set the gaSoIlne 10 Ourn1nB'
but thus far they have not been able
to locate the man.
The stock of liquors in the saloon,
which we're said to be valued at about
a hundred dollars, were insured for
nine hundred dollars and this was
what first led to the fremen suspect
ing the men under arrest on the charge
of arson.
The Gabris saloon had been in exist
ence for some time and it has been
considered a pretty noisy place. 1t
was frequented largely by Polish peo-
pie. 1t is claimed that short time ago
an agent for Chicago brewery de-
manded that Gabris put in Chicago
beer or else give up his lease to the
building. At that time it is claimed
that the crowd about the saloon prom
Used to get even and it is possible that
this was the course adopted.
The case is attracting the attention
of all the police officers and they will
sift the matter to the bottom. In the
meantime the men charged with the
crime will 1anguish in jail.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The Sycamores were tonted as the
fastest team in the League, and their
work on the bases Sunday showed that
the dope was about right at that.
Manager Alleman promises a new
back stop for next Sunday, and if he
lands the man he is after visiting
teams will be kicking to have that
right field fence moveds back before
the season is over.
Racine was beaten, too, and that
helps some.
The umpire may have made poor
decision or two, but no one watching
his work could doubt that he meant to
be exactly fair.
Schoo1ey showed up well in the field
and his batting is above the average.
Luck broke against the home team
more than once, and Kenosha lost a
splendid chance to even things up IN
the eighth when, with three men on
bases and NOBODY out, Freitag gener-
ally so relia b1e-hit into double play.
The diamond was in good shape for
so early in the season.
The Club will lose some patronage
unless the management succeeds in
keeping the crowd away from in front
of the bleachers, The bleacherites
we're kicking hard Sunday on the way
the crowd piled up in front of them
during the last three innings.
