SECRET COMES OUT
Papers in Kenosha Railway Suit
Wanted for C. F. Pfister
in Milwaukee
KNEW NOTHING OF GRATING

Charles F. Pfister one of the lead
ing stock holders and directors of the
Milwaukee Light, Heat and Traction
Company has given an emphatic
negative to the report that money was
used in securing the passage of a
street railway ordinance in Kenosha
by which the company in which he
was interested was to benefit. When
the papers in the old railway suit
were sent to Milwaukee on Friday of
last week it was supposed that they
would be presented to the Grand
jury to be used in an attempt to in
dict several Milwaukee men Who had
been interested in the road but in
stead of this it is found that they
were used in the preliminary hearing
of Mr.. Pfister, otherwise than as a
witness, which was held on Saturday.
The old Kenosha matter was taken
up by the attorneys and the entire
story brought out in the evidence.
Mr.. Pfster in response to the ques-
tons in regard to the SO called Bishop
franchise ordinance stated that to the
best of his knowledge not single
cent was paid to any one in or out of
Kenosha to secure the passing of the
ordinance and that the company nor
none of it's officials had ever entered
into conspiracy to secure the fran
chise by unfair means. He stated
that the company had dismissed the
suit against the city Of Kenosha on
account of the fact that the ordinance
was not in the form the company had
desired.
Mr.. Pfster was repeatedly ques-
toned on this point by half dozen
attorneys but he insisted that nothing
had been spent in Kenosha which
could be considered as graft or Doodle.
It is possible that the men who
were on the council at the time OF
the passing of the ordinance may be
called to Milwaukee to testify against
Mr.. Pfster.

ARCHBISHOP COMES
Archbishop Messmer of MiIwau.
kee Makes an Official Visit
to Kenosha on Sunday

Archbishop Messmer of the Milwau-
kee diocese paid his first official visit
to Kenosha on Sunday and confirmed
large classes of communicates at ST.
Georges and st. CASHIERS churches.
In honor of the visit of the head of
the church the day was made an his
torie one in Roman Catholic circles.
The service at ST. Georges church,
held at 10 O'Clock Sunday morning,
was one of the largest ever held in
the city and fully 1900 people crowded
into the church to hear the sermon by
the archbishop and witness the solemn
service of confirmation.
In the celebration at ST. Georges
church many visiting priests aided
the archbishop in the service. Faith
ers Gerend of ST. Francis, and Meyer
of Racine, acted as deacons, while
Father Malone of st. James church
and Father Bertram of st. Georges
church were sub deacons. The altar
was tended by Eugene Geh1 and
Joseph Widman of this city who are
now students at st. Francis seminary.
The class at ST. Georges church was
the largest in the history of the parish,
the number of new communicates ex-
ceeding 400.
After the solemn service at ST.
Georges church the, archbishop and
the visiting ministers were enter
tanned at dinner at ST. Georges par
sonage. At O'Clock in the afternoon
the Polish societies of the city ae-
companied by a band escorted the
archbishop to st. Cashiers Polish
Catholic church where the rites of
confirmation was given to class of
nearly 200. After the services the
societies escorted the archbishop to
the railway station.
Archbishop Messmer will return to
Kenosha week from Sunday to con-
firm classes at ST. James and the
Italian Catholic churches.

KNIPPLE THE STAR
Big First Baseman Of Kenosha
Team Wins Hard Fought Game
AgainstRammond, Indiana
HOME RUN THRILLS THE FANS

Big Bill Knipple, who officiates
Ifon the initial bag for the Kenosha
base ball team, with little timely as
sistance from Groth, the pitcher, won
game from Hammond, Indiana.
Sunday afternoon at the Breen park
by score of 8 to 2. It was one of the
fastest and most sensational games
ever seen on the Kenosha diamond,
and one that electrified the fans and
kept them shouting from the first
time the ball was thrown over the
plate until the last Hammond player
had been tagged in the ninth inning.
It was Knipple's day from every
point of view. It was big Bill' who
,ax.1s III Il the first inning whicn bfought
ia two runs, and it was the same Big
Bill'' who knocked the ball over the
left field fence in the seventh inning
and brought in the run that gave ke-
nosha the game. Incidentally knip-
PIE nit tire tail every time he came to
bat and had clean record of four hits
to his credit. He also played an en-
| i Va AOSS & d4AO at Al OoSSp OGkSAAG OA
ascouple of men who made vicious eff
forts to score.
Fifteen hundred people were out TO
witness the game, and all of them de-
clare that it was the best game of the
year in Kenosha. Groth was at his
best and struck out fifteen of the
Hammond batters and allowed but
four hits, one of which was of the
scratch order. Mears the much
touted pitcher of the Hoosier club,
proved to be pretty easy mark for
the Kenosha men and they'rapped the
ball out for total of eleven hits.
Freitag, an old Kenosha player, and
| his side partner, Frederickson, came
over from Beloit to play with Keno
sha, and both made good showing.
Freitag was given great welcome
by the local fans when he::came up to
bat for the first time and responded
with nice hit.
The Kenosha players with the aid
of Knipple brought in two earned runs
IN the first inning. Loeb1e led off
with hit and Laabs followed with
the same sort of an argument. Fred
Erickson went out, and then Knipple
appeared in the stellar role with a hit
i scoring the two men. Knipple.did not
i get in, as the next two men were re-
tired. The Hammond players got a
run in the first and tied upnthe score
with another in the fifth. In the sew.
enth Knipple came to the front again
and with two men out sent the bal
over the left field fence for home
run and the game.
| The Hammond team sput up.a great
game in the field, playing the nine
innings without an error. The score
of the game follows:

Petition in Circulation Asking the
Council to Provide for Send
ing Boys Home at Night
STREETS CLEARED AT 8 P. M.
Council Promises to Give the Law a
Serious Consideration and Alder
men Pledge Their Support for it.
Agent Karnes Leads Crusade

An effort is being made to have the
common council of the city pass a
curfew law to govern the boys of Ke-
nosha and the matter will be pre-.
sented to the council at its next meet.
ing in the way of petition which will
probably bear several hundred sigma
lures. The work of circulating the
petition was started this morning by
J. II. Karnes the local humane agent
and he is meeting with such a general
endorsement of the plan that it is
evident that the curfew law would be
very popular measure.
The petition asks that the council
pass an ordinance providing that the
streets of the city be cleared at
O'Clock every evening. The law is
directed toward boys under the age Of
E18 years.
During the last week Agent Karnes
has been making an examination of
conditions in Kenosha and his in
1vestigations show that nightly there
are hundreds of small boys on the
streets until long after the hour
named in the curfew law. These
boys gather in different parts of the
city and make night hideous for the
people residing in the neighborhood.
Added to this it is claimed that many
OF the crimes about the city are COM
m1tted by boys who have not as yet
passed out of their school days. If
these boys could be sent home every
night at 9 O'Clock or earlier their
parents would be better able to control
them.
Agent Karnes has already taken
the matter up with the members Of
the common council and they promise
to give the petition every possible
consideration. Some of the aldermen
have expressed themselves as being
in favor of the passage of such an
ordinance and nave pIedged their ala
when the ordinance is presented to
the council.
Several times in the past decade
efforts have been made to place a
curfew law in operation in Kenosha
and at one time the matter was laid
before the common council. At that
time majority of the members of the
council opposed the measure.
The main objection aimed against
the law is the difficulty of enforcing it
as it is claimed that such law inter
feres with the rights granted to a
citizen by the constitution of the
United States. Notwithstanding this
objection the law has been in success
full operation in many of the cities of
the state and has worked with great
success.
The work of Agent Karnes will be
followed with interest by the people
interested in the boys of the city, NJ

Charles Heating, arrested in Keno

ers NeWhouse and Nader, was taken
to Chicago late Saturday afternoon to
answer charge Of horse stealing.
keasing was given into the custody of
Detective J. c. Kehoe of the Chicago
Central station. When Kehoe came
for Heating he refused to leave Ke-
nosha without requisition papers but
after conference with Chief Reino1d
he evidently decided that it was ali
up with him and finally signed an
agreement to accompany the officer to
Cook county.
The horse and vehicle stolen by
Heating was the property of T. w.
keelin, wealthy Chicago hay and
grain merchant. It was stolen on Fri
day and Kee1in came to Kenosha on
Saturday and proved the property
and had It shipped back to Chicago.
It is probable that Heating will have
a hearing today and that lie will be
held for trial by the Chicago grand
Jury.
