MAY BE IN CANADA
Third Of italian Murderers May
Have Fled Over North.
ernaBoundary
ARRESTED MEN NOT CITIZENS

Has Giaconino Foti, the third of
the alleged Winthrop Harbor murder-
ers, fled to Canada?
Is he in hiding. in some of the Can
adam Businesses, dreading the APP
proach of the officers of the law as
well as his crude mind is able, haunt
ed by the continual visions of the
dread crime inIwhichshe was at least
an accomplice?.
SoChief Swanbroughof Waukegan,
thinks.
Foti is one Of the3 numerous gangs
of importations fromDItaly into Can
ada. He came there somes time ago,
the chiefs informant says, and had
been in America only three months
when he took part, it is alleged, in
the box car slaughters at Winthrop
Harbor.
Chief Swanbrough will take steps
to learn the mans address in Canada
and if It is possible may take steps
towards his speedy extradition.
It is curious commentary on the
crime that Mortified the world that
none of the murderers is an American
citizen. None of them have been
here long enough. to take:Eout their
papers, the one longest here being
resident only matter of twenty
months.
Some are of the opinion that the
murders will arouse the friends of
the murdered so that In Chicago and
even In Italy, so far reaching is the
effect on some of these supposedly
ignorant people, exterminating feuds
will begin, not to 0end until every
member of the family of the alleged
murderers is bounded to his death.
The police interested in the case
fear that the man Parratri will flee as
soon as he is able to get out of the
hospital in thel fear that he will
eventually be Ekilled if he testifes
agsinststhe suspects now lodged in
jail. It is seriously thought that he
will be placed in restraint in the
county jail after he is conva1escent.

breaches FROM A CHAIR
First Apostle of Zion Appears Weak
and Discouraged

First Apostle of Zion Appears Weak
and Discouraged
Sitting in his chair and speaking in
tones inaudible to persons sitting in
the center of Shiloh tabernacle at
Zion City, John Alexander Dowie on
Sunday presented anything but the
same personality that has made him
famous. Weak in body and appar-
emily discouraged in mind, the first
apostle Sunday delivered his address
while sitting.
Dowie, on beginning his sermon,
stood in the center of the platform.
He had spoken but few words when
he apparently became weak, tottered
a trihe, and walked backward to his
chair, his voice growing weaker and
more inaudible. His action alarmed
the audience, as they feared their
leader was to encounter another para
lytic stroke. However, Dowie kept
on talking all the time in an effort to
reassure them, and he pulled his
chair near the front Of the platform,
where he continued his address in a
low tone of voice.
He explained that the cold he had
encountered in the Mexican noun
tains had caused a setback which
made him feel weak, and he should
not have braved the weather brlt that
he promised he would be there, and,
eff I did not come, they would report
me dead" said he.

WOULD UNITE ALL
Charitable Organizations Seek to
Form q Union to Secure More
Concerted Action
MANY POOR TO BE CARED FOR

Now that the winter season is get.
ting into full blast the demands on
the various charitable organizations
in the city are becoming very numer-
GUS and the leaders in this work are
making quiet plan for concerted ac-
ton. For years there has been need
of an association among the charit-
able organizations of the city and to
this end the men and women inter-
ested are working.
Among the org anizations interested
in this work are the various societies
connected with churches, the city
pauper committee, the relief conn lit
tee Of the local lodge of E1ks, and a
host of private individuals who do
work without ostentation. These
people have for some time had sort
of an understanding but the need of a
better organization is now felt.
There are about forty families in
the city who are practically receiving
their support from these different or
CARNATIONS for charitable purposes,
and if some plan can be, found to pre-
vent the duplication of gifts the poor
of the city will be better taken care
of and with minimum of expense.
At the present time there are many
people in the city who are too proud
to ask for the aid of the city during
the cold weather and these people are
in positive straits. These people
will, however, accept charity and to
them the organizations are bearing
aid. The lists of the people have been
carefully prepared and with an or
ganization among the bodies dispens-
ing this aid the work can be carried
on. The Christmas season is always
season for the work of these organi-
cations and it is planned to have this
organization completed before that
time.
In nearly all of the larger cities of
the state regular organizations known
as Associated Charities" have been
formed and they are largely in charge
of all the relief work in these cities.
The reports from the pauper COM
mittee show that there are more de-
pendents in the city this season than
in many previous years and if the
city were to be forced to take care of
all of them the pauper account would
be an exceedingly large one. The
other organizations are willing and
ready to bear their share of the ex-
pense, but they are DESTROYS of having
the money placed where it will do the
most good.
It is to be hoped that the various
societies interested will be able to hit
upon plan of organization which
will make it possible for the poor to
receive every aid demanded andat the
same time lift the burden as far as
possible from the shoulders Of a few
people.

A POOR MANS CHRISTMAS
Salvation Army Making Preparation
to Give Dinner for Poor of Kenosha

Salvation Army Making Preparation
to Give Dinner for Poor of Kenosha
The poor people of Kenosha are to
have Christmas dinner this year
which will be different from any thing
ever given in Kenosha in the past.
The dinner is to be given under the
auspices Of the new corps of the Sal
walton Army, and little boxes have
been placed all over the city for the
collection of funds for this purpose.
It is figured out that it takes about Is
cents to provide dinner for each one
of these poor people, and the mem
bers of the army are seeking the aid
of the people in raising the large sum
needed.
It is thought that there viii be at
least 300 children in Kenosha who
will have no Christmas dinner save
the one furnished by the army, and
for this reason there is chance for
every one 10 help. In connection with
tbs d4ner Christmas tree will be
given for the children

-Four Members Of the Council
Secure the Death Of Law for
Protection ofthe Children
COUNCIL VOTE A BIG TAX LEVY
Levy of Thirteen Mills Recon- mended
by Finance Committee is Adopted
by Unanimous Vote of the City
Council.-Other Business

The curfew bell will not ring in Ke-
nosha, or at any rate it will be many
months before it's clarion tones warn
the youngster that it is time for him
to get of the street and hike for home.
At the meeting of the commonIcounci1
last night four aldermen encompassed
the killing of this muchIdiscussed ordi-
nance, and the ringing of Ithe' curfew
must be deferred until suchI time as
council is elected which, will be
more in favor of suchArestrictions
upon the children.
Under the ruting'of thesmayor it re-
quired twelve votes for the passage
of the ordinance and there were but
fourteen members of the council
present. When the ordinance was
put upon its passage thereEseemed to
be no desire amongs the aldermen to
discuss it and the vote showed ten in
favor and four against thespassage of
the ordinance. q Those in the column
against the ordinance we're, Alder
men Pabst, Thomassen, Scholey and
mayer. ne tmdyOr declared the
ordinance lost. It is Epossib1e that
the friends of the curfew law will at
once take some steps to have the
matter reconsidered.gby the council
and anewsordinance will be brought
in, which may possibly meet with the
support of the aldermen iwho were il
the opposition last night.

memory Of the whole-sOuled and fair
way ~ which he has been treated
While at work ia this city.
Judge d. Z. Jones then brought a
fratennal greeting from Waukegan,
speaking Of the fact that Waukegan
sreJoiced with Kenosha in the opening
OF this new territory. He paid high
trionte to Mr.. Frost, and declared that
he had done much for Waukegan and
that ne was ready to do even more for
kenosha. He said that Waukegan
had found that Mr.. Frost was good
man to be mixed up with, and that he
always did exactly what he said he
would do.
Mayor r. G. Gade, Of Lake Forest,
declared that he was proud of these
animal gatherings given by Mr..
Frost, and his only desire was that
they should become semi-annual, and
that the lines be extended into Wis
consin just as rapidly as possible. He
stated that Lake Forest had come to
the point where it regarded the Chi
cago q Milwaukee road not only as
convenience, but as a necessity.
Mayor Peter B. Nelson, of Racine,
was next introduced, and he made a
ringing speech ia which he stated
that he was glad to see that the
Great American Order of Boosters
was still doing business, and that he
hoped that this spirit of boosting
would be continued until the Chicago
= Milwaukee tracks were laid into the
|cityof Racine. He gave a hot shot
for John /. Beggs, chasing him with
the band of knockers who had tried to
down the Frost plan by calling 1t a
"hot air" line. Mayor Nelson stated
that the city of Racine would meet
the Chicago & Milwaukee more than
half way In order to secure competi-
ton in the street railway business.
After 2 short talk by Peter Fisher
the host of the afternoon was intro
duced. Mr.. Frost was given a great
vsSion, the entire assemb1age stand
ms and responding to the toast to the
President of the Chicago & Milwau-
kees road. Mr.. Frost spoke of the
fact that this was the first time his
company had extended the lines into
Wisconsin, but that he hoped to build
to Racine before next fall and into
Milwaukee in the following year. He
said that it was the rule of the com.
pany never to ask for anything un-
fair, and that al effort was always
made to treat the municipalities with
fairness. He stated that he was proud
Iof the statements that had been made
by the preceding speakers, and ex.
pressed the hope that in his dealings
with the people of Kenosha he would
be met in the same spirit as the other
cities had met him. He stated that
the company was willing and ready
to meet any plan for improvements
which would be proposed by the citi-
zens, and that these improvements
would be made as rapidly as the bust
ness of the line justified.
/ The closing toast was responded to
by the Hon. Charles Whitney, OF
Waukegan, who spoke on the close
relationship that has always been be-
tween Kenosha and Waukegan, and
declared that this band of steel would
only make these friendly feelings
the stronger.
After the speech making was over
the members of the party left on the
special trains for their homes.

Committee.
The council decided to put stop to
all paving work in the city until the
opening Of the next spring on ac-
count of the fact that the weather is
now so cold that it is feared that the
concrete being used for the paving of
the alleys and streets will be rendered
useless. The city clerk was instructed
to order contractor Jones to stop the
work at once.
The report of the city treasurer
showed that the city was in better
financial condition than it had been
in many years and at the present time
there is more than 5000 in the bank
with all orders paid. This balance
will insure the payment of all the
current expenses up to the time that
the new tax levy is available.
