JAMESON BOUND OVER

Bogns Salvation Army Officer Held to
Grand Jury on Charge of Larceny
A letter from DeKalb, Ill, states
that James jameson, the bogus Saliva
ton Army officer who is wanted in
this city on charge of having
swindled many dealers in railway
tickets, had pleaded guilty to the
charges against him and had been
bound over to the grand jury in that
county. The officers of the Army
have not as yet been able to recover
any of the tickets stolen, and it is
stated that the man had but one
ticket on his person when he was
taken by the DeKa1b county officials.
Kenosha people who were swindled
by Jameson have written to the prose
cutting attorney of DeKalb county
and he has agreed to make an effort to
recover the stolen property.

MANY BAD HALF DOLLARS

Kenosha Saloon Men are Being Victim
lied by Gang of esQueer'' Showers
Some of the saloon keepers in Keno
sha are Of the opinion than an organ
lied gang Of counterfeiters are at
work in the neighborhood of Kenosha
for in the last few days many bogus
half dollars have made their appear
ance in the ti1ls of the different saloon
keepers. The bogus coins are very
good imitation Of the coin Of the realm
and they are made in such manner
that the members of the gang have
little trouble in passing them.
Little counterfeit money has been
found in this section of the state DUR
ing the last few years and it was
thought that the raid on the counter
feiters at Burlington had put an end
to this sort of crirnina1ity in Kenosha
and Racine counties.

THE law plainly states that the
street cars shall be equipped with
vestihu1es by Nov. /, and as far as we
can see, the road has no choice in the
matter. The officials of the company
say they have the matter of obeying
the law "under consideration, but
suppose they should decide not to
obey it? Are the city authorities
willing to let it go at that or will
they go after the company and bring
it to time? There may be some loop
hole for the company to disregard the
plain intent of the trainers of their
franchise on the transfer questions
but looks as if the road could be
forced to put in the vestibules and II
ought to be made to dot.

If the new Chicago and Milwaukee
Railway company is liberal in the
matter of stations, sidings and switch
tracks, it will not experience much
difficulty in completing its right of
way north Of Kenosha. The people
of the section to be reached by the
new line, are badly in need of better
shipping facilities, and they will be
wise enough to meet the railway half
way in order to get them. Of course
the property owners will expect fair
price for the land taken for the right
of way, but we do not believe that any
attempt will be made to hold up the
company for an exorbitant price.

ALL talk of "boom' in Kenosha
should be discouraged. This city has
had no boom, and does not want one,
as any boom is invariably followed by
a reaction. The city has grown rap
idly, and its growth has been along
the safest and most conservative
lines. There has been no over infa-
tion of real estate prices, and every
advance has been fully warranted by
the increase in population. There
has been no discounting of the fu-
ture, either, and 40 city in the state
presents better opportunities for the
far sighted investor.

THE most serious thing about the
recent raid instituted by the District
Attorney in behalf of the public NOR
ais, is the allegation, made by one of
the women, who was brought into
court on charge of being an inmate
of a house Of i'll fame, that she was
promised immunity from prosecution
by man high in authority in the
city. Furthermore, the District At
torney evidently believed that there
was some truth in the Woman's story.
for he was willing to let her off with a
nominal fine. Further comment is
superfuous.

Chicago Man Held Under Heavy
Bonds for Attempted Murder
is Dying at kankakee
LEAVES ASYLUM FOR HOSPITAL
Old Man is Seized With an Attack Of
Pa1pitation Of the Heart and it is
Certain That He Will Never
Be Tried Here

Old Peter Achton, the Chicago man
who was arrested in the town Of Salem
on Labor Day on a charge Of having
attempted to kill his son, John Peter
Achton, will never be brought back to
Kenosha for trial and it is very prob
able that within the next few hours,
or days at least, he will be taken be-
fore the highest tribunal. Aehton is
dying. Some days ago he was seized
with an attack of palpitation of the
heart and the physicians attending
him have stated that he cannot re-
cover.
When Achton was taken from Ke-
nosha some time in October he was
taken to Chicago and immediately
adjudicated insane. He was sent to
the state hospital at Kankakee and
since that time his condition has been
critical. While he may have suffered
from mental trouble before, it is now
alleged that the confinement in the
jail and in the asylum has completely
unbalanced him. He was taken with
the heart trouble several days ago and
the physicians at once ordered him re-
moved from the asylum to a hospital
where he could receive the best pos
sible treatment. Should he ever re-
cover he will at once be returned to
the asylum.
While the officials of this county
are paying little attention to the con-
dition of Achton, his bond is still in
force here and the case against him
will be placed on the calendar for
hearing at the next term of the cir
cult court. The fact that Achton was
adjudicated insane in the courts of
Illinois would make it a very difficult
matter for him to be convicted in this
county even if the district attorney
should decide to force the case to
trial.
The bondsnen of Achton have not
as yet been asked to be released from
the esponsibility assumed by them
in securing the release OF the old
man, but one of them who was in Ke-
nosha today stated that they would
make slsch request to the court
later. The bond under which Achton
was held was $500, a portion of
which was left in cash.
John Peter Achton, who was stab
bed by his father, has entirely recov-
cred from his wounds and there is no
longer any danger that the wounds
will result seriously. It is probable
that should Achton be sarraigned the
charge against him would not be
greater than one Of assault and
battery.

THE work on the Panama canal is
proceeding as Systematically and
rapidly as any undertaking of the
same magnitude ever did and Chair
man Shonts of the commission is
right in saying that all the opposition
to the canal is inspired by those who
fear the competition. There is no
disposition on the part of the com
missioners to be1itt1e the difficulties
of the undertaking, but the people
are behind the project and it is going
through.

FORM NEW DISTRICTS
Father H. J. Roach Of st. James
Church Naming New Deaneries
for the Catholic Church
FOUR COUNTIES INCLUDED

Three new deaneries in the Catholic
archdiocese of Milwaukee were
created and deans we're elected at a
meeting yesterday afternoon of Arch
bishop s. 6. Messmer and his con-
sultors who are Father Roach, st.
James's church, Ken0sha; Father
Rainer, st, Francis seminary; Fatt,s.e
James J. Keogh, st. Johns cathedral;
Father Hyacinth Gulski, St. Hya-
cinth' church, and Father Peter Abb
be1en, Notre Dame convent, Milwau-
kee diocese.
Sheboygan county will constitute
one of the deaneries. Green Lake and
Green county, together, another, and
all of Columbia county will be the
third. The dean of the territorial
jurisdiction of Sheboygan county will
be Father Thil1, Sheboygan. Father
Czarnowislxy, Berlin, will have.charge
of the deanery of Green Lake and
Green counties. Father Morrissy,
Portage, was elected dean of of the
territory of Columbia county. Each
archdeanery is divided into rural
deaneries. and each deanery is divided
into parishes.
Among the principal items of bust
ness to come before the board of di-
rectors of st. Francis seminary at the
patrona1 feast of the seminary on
Jan. %, is project Of Archbishop
| Messmer for the erection of a library
building and plans for raising about
| $40, 900 which is deemed necessary tc
do the work. The archbishop feels
that more room is needed at the sem
mary and tn at rooms where books are
now kept will make two good dormi
tories. There is not room to accommo
date more than the $50 students nov
attending.
! According to the ideas Of the arch
bishop, reading rooms and extra
rooms could be made in new build
ing. Valuable books are now KEEP
near the roof of the building. In thu
event of fire it is not likely that an,
of these could be saved. The hnar
cia1 problem has stood in the way o.
the Improvement for some time, bn
it is probable that this year plan TO
securing funds will be outlined. TIL,
courses Of study at St. Francis
probably will be made more EXTENSIVE
by adding year to the present five
year classical course, and year Il
the three-year theological course.

Manager Russell Promises to Place
Proper Vestibu1es on Street Cars

Manager Russell Promis to Place
Proper Vestibu1es on Street Cars
Manager Willis Russell, of the Ke-
nosha Electric Railway company, has
announced that he will at once take
steps to have new vestibules placed
on the cars operated by the company
in Kenosha. It is the intent OF the
manager to see that these vestibu1es
comply strictly with the law. The
law provides that these vestibu1es
shall be on the cars by the first day of
November, and if some immediate
action is not taken it is. probable that
an effort will be made to force the
company to act.
Manager Russell has stated that he
will take the matter up with President
Arnold and the other officers of the
company at once.
