Theatre Goers Sunday Evening.
Shipman Brothers production of
"The Prisoner of zenda" drew large
crowd to the Rhode opera house Sun
day evening and the play gave uni
versa1 satisfaction. There was just
enough of the clang of arms and the
swish of petticoats to take the fancy of
the Kenosha crowd and the play was
given the warmest of receptions. The
play was adequately staged and the
producing company was one Of the
best seen in Kenosha during the

Thomas B. Alexander, in the dual
role of Rudolph V and Rudolph Ras-
sendyll made a decided hit, as did

the evening both Mr.. Alexander and
Miss Ellison were forced to respond to

REPLIES OF THE ALLIES
To the Latest from Castro Do Not Put Any
thing in the Way Of Ar
b1tration.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE joint re-
ply of the powers to Castro's qualified
acceptance of arbitration was handed
to the United States ambassadors at
Berlin and London yesterday and re-
ceived by the state department here
later. 1t does not put anything adj
ditional in the way of arbitration and
does not abandon any of the orig
inal reservations
Separate responses to Castro's last
proposal came from both Germany and
Great Britain. In many respects they
were similar and named certain con-
ditions regarding the matters under
consideration on which an understand
ing will have to be reached before
the case is submitted to arbitration.
Both replies have been sent to Castro
through the intermediary of United
States Minister Bowen at Caracas.

Contractors and Builders OF the City
Met Monday Night and Formed an
Association for Protection.
ALL CONTRACTORS INTERESTED
New Association Starts Out With Charter
Balloon Elected First President.

a long cherished dream of the con-
tractors and builders of Kenosha has
become a reality, as Monday night
twenty-five of the leading members of
the trades in Kenosha met at hall at
307 Main street and organized the Ke-
nosha Contractors and Builders Asso-
citation. The new association starts
into life with charter membership of
twenty-five and the members of it
state that within month every con-
tractor in the city will be added to the
rolls.
The association is purely one of mu-
tua1 benefits. For years the petty
jealousies existing between the con-
tractors have made it almost impossi-
bic for them to live in peace in Keno
sha, and there has been lot of cutting
of prices so that at present it is al
most impossible for contractor to
take job at a price allowing a reason
able profit. Besides this point the
members of the different unions allied
with the building trades have made
life miserable for the contractors and
this new organization will in meas
ure seek to meet the demands of union
ism with counter irritant and if pos
sib1e holds the demands of the work
men within reasonable figures.
Many of the contractors were not
present at the first meeting held Mon
day evening, but all have signified
themselves as favorable to the organi-
cation and they will undoubtedly be
added as soon as an opportunity is
given for new members to come into
the fold.
The idea of this association came UP
among the Mason and Carpenter con-
tractors several years ago and Build
ers' Exchange was formed, but this
Exchange never fulfilled the purpose
for which it was formed and it has
long since been a dead letter. The
new association is organized on d
firmer basis and there is more of de.
mand for it than at any previous time
The Painting contractors were repre-.
scented at the meeting Monday night
and it is expected that they will join
with the carpenters and masons in
the near future and become factor ir
the new association.
The work of the association will be
outlined at a meeting to be held on
next Monday evening, when the Con,
stitution and Bylaws of the associa-
ton will be arranged for.
Members of the association when
seen this morning stated that the asso
citation was not formed with any idea
of increasing the price of building in
the city, bat for the sole purpose of af-
fording some form of mutual protec-
ton for the contractors. The officers
of the new association are as follows:
President-James K. Balloon.
Vice President-Fred Larsen.
Secretary-Peter Knudsen.
Treasurer-W. F. Howard.
Sergeant.at-Ar Smith.

Sioux City, Ia, Jam because he
was angry at his 11-year-old school
mate Victor Ross, an 11-year-old boy,
drew a knife ON Frank Paul in the
presence of pupils and teacher and
stabbed his victim seriously in the
back. He then attacked the Paul
boy, and only the interference of Min

A warrant has been sworn out for the
youthful assailant, and he will be
