In the first place we. shall have to assume
that the players equal in skill, since the fact
Harry has won two games out Of three does not
prove that he is the better player, because II
they were evenly matched one OF them would
have to win the third game. Now. reasoning
on this assumption we can. allow Harry and
Billy one game each Of the next two games,
making it necessary for Billy to win the last
two games it he is to win the match. But
he has only one chance in four Of winning
any given two games In succession, leaving
Harry the other three chances. Thus Harry
is entitled to three-fourths of 4s cents, s6

A NEW RECORD
FOR DAN PATCH
He Does Neat Trick at Oklahoma
CityLou billions
Failure.

Dan Patch, the PAGER who is making Mime
apols famous, broke the ha1f-mile track record
at Oklahoma City yesterday by making the mile
in 2:03. The time by quarters was :301.
l :00h, 1:31h and 2:08. This Is the fastest mile
ever done on half-mile track by a trotter or
PAGER. The record UP to yesterday was s20SA,
which Dan Patch himself established year ago
at Birmingham, Ala.
In making his fast mile, Dan Patch broke at
the three quarter stretch and the pacemaker
got away ahead. but reliable old Dan was soon
jogging as steadily as battleshtp on a smooth
sea. ssz5 ~: rs 81
About the same time that the king Of PAGERS
was breaking records, Lou Dillon, at the Memphis
track, tried to equal or beat her track record Of
2:01 on a mile track. The best she could do
was 2:0S. As the conditions Of the track and
weather were perfect, there is some debate among
horsemen as to whether or no Lou Dillon ever
went the mile in 2:01.

OF HoBos
Squad OF Policemen Led by Chief Rel
mold Drive "Weary WiIIies" From
the City Limits.
THEIR OLD CAMP is BROKEN UP

One OF the most unique parades ever
seen in and about Kenosha was aSpar-
ade of hobos inaugurated by Chief Of
Police Reino1d and six members of
the Kenosha force, on Tuesday after
noon. For some time a gang of hobos
IN camp on the western limits of the
city has been the source of all sorts
OF trouble to the people of the western
part of the city, and Tuesday after
noon it was decided to rout the gang
at any cost. i3
The officers went to the scene Of
the camp and with Chief Reino1d as
commander, and Officer LEXIS, the
biggest man on the force, as his first
lieutenant, the fight began. The
hobos, twenty-eight in number, were
routed from their homes in the box
cars along the tracks and forced to
line up. It was the strangest parade
ever seen. There were all sorts of
men. Married and single, widowers
and divorced, all of them beating a
life out of the 1ong-suffering public.
For months they had been in camp
in the cars along the western line
and some of them resented the in
trnsion of the officers in their happy
home. When the march was finally
started some of the men objected
strenuously and hung back. Then
the police officers brought their clubs
into action and couple of s1aps
across their backs brought the Weary
Willies to marching time in great
order. On to Pleasant Prairie or any
other old place, and the police kept
them marching until they were we'll
out of sight of Kenosha.
When the police started to return
to the city some of the men became a
little tired Of walking and began to
sit down along the track. Then the
chief mustered his army of policemen
and after mark had been set up tar
get practice followed After the first
fusi1ade from the revo1vers of the
half dozen policemen, the tramps sud
denly found reason to hurry, and
there was a great scattering. They
took to the fields and to every avail
able place for shelter and in half an
hour there wasn't hobo in sight.
The men have been notified that if
they attempt to establish another
camp ON the limits Of Kenosha, they
will get a more serious bombardment
from the officers.
Chief Reinold is determined to
break up this nest of hobos if it is
necessary to slaughter one or two Of
them in order to get rid of them.
They have made Kenosha headquar-
tiers for the past three or four years
and have become menace to the
community.

John Evans, a Former Well Known
Feed Dealer, Accused OF Sending
Obscene Matter Through Mail.
GRAND JURY CONSIDERS CASE.
Evans is Said to Have Admitted His Guilt
and it is Possible That an Indictment
Will Be Returned Against Him,

The secret about the sending of OBJ
scene matter through the mails at the
Kenosha office is out at last, and it is
claimed that the Federal Grand Jury
now in session at Milwaukee is con-
s1dering the matter and will probably
bring an indictment against John
Evans, Kenosha man, on charge
OF sending an improper letter to Mrs.
Maggie Leutritz.
The matter is said to have been
taken up before the Federal Grand
Jury at it's session on Monday after
noon, but nothing can be given out in
regard to the case until after the
grand jury returns it's batch of indict-
ments to the United States court.
The sensation of the Kenosha post
office has been carefully guarded by
the officials and for this reason it was
impossible to discover the people ac-
cused of the crime until the matter
had been formally taken up by the
grand jury. Witnesses from Kenosha
appeared before the grand jury yes
terday but they decline to make any
statements, more than that they were
summoned to give evidence against
Evans.
The incident on which the charge
against Evans is based, occurred
many months ago. For several days
Mrs. Leutritz had been bothered by
the receipt of letters of decidedly
improper nature, and after some re-
Election the matter was placed in the
hands of the Chief of Police Later,
the chief referred the matter to the
postmaster who in turn, turned the
letters over to the United States in
spectors. Inspector Ralph Bird came
to Kenosha and after a little investi-
cation Evans was connected with the
case. Evans has made no effort to
defend himself in the matter and it
has even been stated by people in
authority that he is ready to plead
guilty to the charge in the United
States court.
It is claimed that the letters will be
introduced in evidence in the case
but they are still being held from the
public.
Evans was formerly we'll known in
Kenosha but it is stated that he has
recently removed from the city and is
now residing in Chicago. He was for
several years employed as coach
man for one of the best known fami-
lies in the city, but more recently he
had been engaged with his brother in
the flour and feed business on Market
street.
The air Of mystery that has been
placed about the case has caused the
people of the city to watch it with
more than ordinary interest. The
final settlement of the case will prob
ably take place within the next few
weeks. Evans will probably be
forced to pay heavy fine.

THE next legislature will be called

THE next Legislature will be called
upon to enact some new and effective
license laws for the state, and if ever
law was urgently needed to protect
our home merchants from the unfair
competition of pedd1ers and "fre
sale" sharpers now is the time. A
recent decision of the Supreme Court
knocked out the present pedd1er tax
law, and the news that Wisconsin is
an open field must have travelled far
and fast, for the state is being overrun
by itinerant merchants who evidently
propose to take the fullest advantage
of what to them is a heaven-sent OPP
portunity. Even the most rabid "free
trader" will admit that the home
merchant who pays his share of the
running expenses of the city is en-
titled to protection against this kind
of competition, and the public is
surely entitled to protection against
what is little better than out and out
swind1ing.

POLITICIANS who have "taken no
part in the state fight announce
their intention of sitting on the fence
until after the national convention
meets and decides which set of dele
gates to admit. It is possibly too
much to expect that any Of them
would risk losing votes by making a
decision before then, but after the
question of party regularity is once
decided they should be invited to
climb down on one side or the other.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1904-05-26

The next member of the Legislature
from Kenosha county should be in
structed to work and vote for a change
in the naturalization laws of the state.
1t is not asking too much to require
would be citizens to reside in the
country long enough to have someidea
of who and what they are voting for
before giving them an equal share in
the government. Look at the situa-
ton in Kenosha. If any child of
eleven years of age who has had the
advantages of our public schools does
not know more of our institutions and
laws than the men who hold the bal
ance of power IN municipal elections
in this city, he is either phenomena11y
slow to learn or he has not improved
his opportunities, and yet he is re-
quired to wait ten years before he is
intrusted with the ballot. The great
est danger which threatens this re-
public today is the supremacy of this
foreign vote.'' The same. conditions
which prevail in Kenosha today will
soon be general all over the country,
unless preventative measures are
taken by the several states, and Wis
consin should lead IN passing more
stringent naturalization laws.
