AFTER TOBACCO MEN
Parents Complain Thai Cigarette
Papers are Being Given to
Small Boys
NEW STATE LAW YET UNTRlED

For the first time since the passage
of the anti-cigarette law a regular
complaint of violation of the law has
has been made to the police Of Ke-
nosha, as Wednesday the parents of
three boys of tender age filed COM
that the boys were securing tobacco
and papers for the manufacture Of
cigarettes and asked the police off,
Gals to make an effort to discover the
source of the supply and prosecute
the dealers.
The boys we're taken into the sweat
box, but they declined to tell where
they had secured the papers for maxi
ing the cigarettes and insisted that
they had picked them up in the
street. They admitted that they had
bought tobacco at fruit stores about
the city. There is no punishment for
the sale of tobacco to boys regardless
of their age, but the law provides a
heavy penalty for the sale or gift Of
the papers to the boys.
Chief O'Hare made the rounds of
the various stores last night and
found that neither cigarettes or cigar
cite papers are offered for sale in any
of them. 1t was found in some ca SEES
that men OF mature years had been
buying the paper pipes direct from
the manufacturers and through local
dealers, but it is held that this is per-
missable under the law and that it
would be impossible to make any
prosecution along this line.
The men who handle the tobacco
seem to be sending the cigarette
papers to Kenosha just the same as
when the law was not in force. but
the dealers do not give them away.
On the other hand the papers are
dumped into the trash boxes to be
burned and the boys make the rounds
Of these boxes and gather them up
and use them. The police will make
an effort to force the dealers to burn
all papers sent into the city, as it is
thought that this is the only way to
prevent their falling into the hands
of the boys.
Up to the present time there has
not been single prosecution in Wis
consin where an arrest was made for
violation of the anti-cigarette law
and there seems to be little reason to
believe that there will be a test in
Kenosha. The law has done much to
prevent the sale of the cigarettes to
young boys and the police will make
an EFFORT to secure the cooperation of
the dealers in making it impossible
for these boys to get the makins.

Unknown Men Fire FusiIIade of
Shots at Racine Automobiles
tuesday Night
PEOPLE IN CARS ESCAPE
Unknown Men Driving Along the Road
in Buggy Open Fire on Three
Automobiles and Then Es-
cape in the Darkness

The police officers have received
word from the police of Racine that
a report has been made to the officers
there that automobiles owned by
Frank Bull, Stephen Bull and Vernon
Rogers we're fired on by unknown
parties mile north of the brick yard
on the Wood road on Tuesday eve
ming. 1t is alleged that bullets
whizzed over the heads of the occu-
pants of the cars and several of them
narrowly escaped being killed. In
the automobiles we're dozen of the
most prominent people of Racine.
Detectives we're hired to look into the
matter and an effort was being made
to keep the matter quiet, but it leaked
out through the Racine police on
Wednesday afternoon.
The three machines had left for
Kenosha and were running along the
road at a pretty good rate of speed
when the occupants Of the first
machine noticed horse and buggy
coming along the road. AS the auto
mobile passed, the buggy drew to the
side of the road, and at the same time
there was a crack of rifle and a gun
shot whizzed over the heads of the
people in the automobile driven by
Frank Bull A regular fnsillade of
bullets followed in close succession,
and the men drove hurriedly away.
One of the bullets pun ctured the tire
of the car driven by Vernon Rogers
and the tire exploded with loud re-
port.
All the machines were stopped and
an effort was made to capture the
men who had fired the shots but in the
excitement attending the shooting the
men drove hurriedly away, and it is
supposed that they took some road
leading off the Wood road, and made
their escape.
This morning report was sent to
the officials, that fourth machine
had been fired on at the same time as
the assault on the Racine autoists.
It seems that there is a band of peo-
pie, in Kenosha and Racine counties,
who believe in rifle law in regard to
automobiles, and they have started to
enforce law in this manner several
times. The police officers Of the two
counties will leave no stone unturned
to secure the arrest of the guilty
parties, and if they are found they
will be charged with attempted MUIR
der. It is thought that the men who
fired the shots were Kenosha county
men, and that they live some where
in the neighborhood of the shooting.
Last night officers from the two coun-
ties were out in the town of Somers,
making an effort to get some clue to
the identity of the men, but they re-
turned to Kenosha and Racine, with
out attaining results. A liberal re.
ward will probably be offered for the
arrest and conviction of the parties.

MRS CLARENCE SNYDER DEAD
Racine Woman Well known in Kenosha
Died at the Milwaukee Hospital

Racine Woman Well known in Kenosha
Died at the Milwaukee Hospital
Late Wednesday afternoon the sad
intelligence reached Kenosha that
Mrs. Clarence Snyder of Racine, died
ia the Milwaukee hospital at Milwau-
kee at 2:35 Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Snyder was operated upon three
weeks ago and the operation in itself
was eminently successful, but her age
and lack of vitality prevented re-
cnperation and for several days 1t has
been known that she could rot live.
She realized this fully and was pre-
pared for the end when it came. at
the time of her death her husband.
her son, Clarence, andsher daughter,
Mrs. C. H. Collins, of Racine were at
the bedside.
Mrs. Snyder was born in Racine 81
years ago. Her maiden name was
Isadore Scribner and she came of one
Of the prominent early families of Ra-
cine. Practically all her life has been
spent in the city of her birth, where
she has scores of friends who al
though knowing that death has been
near for some time, will nevertheless
deeply mourn her loss.
She is survived by her husband,
Clarence Snyder, we'll known in
surance man, one son, Clarence Sny-
der Jr., who arrived from St. Louis a
week ago, and has been with his
mother since, and two daughters,
Mrs. C. H. Collins of Racine, and
Mrs. Henry Bates of Boston.

ALIENS HOARD CASH
Thousands of Dollars Tied up by
Workingmen Of Kenosha Who
Do Not Use the Banks
P0ST0FFICE GAINS BUSINESS

The boarding of money is regarded
as one of the greatest evils with
which the financial and commercial
institutions Of Kenosha have to con-
tend by the men who are managers
and owners Of these concerns accord
ing to their own statement.
This does not for a minute mean
that these men are not encouraging
economy or saving habits. The
banks themselves are the great ex-
ponents and apostles of the savings
system-it is the habit Of boarding
money away in places where it cam
not be used IN circulation which these
financiers are fighting.
1t is recalled that the Italians killed
at Winthrop Harbor last year had
several hundred dollars hidden on
their persons.
'1We have here in Kenosha a very
large class of people, composed most
ly of aliens, who have a habit Of
boarding their money, and as direct
consequence, there is not half enough
ready money in the city to run its own
bus nesses,' said one of Kenosha' S
bankers today.
"These people are for the most part
foreigners, distrustful of. the banks
and the like. Being distrustfu1 they
stow their savings away in one place
or another. Walls, mattresses, purses,
money belts and every other con-
ceivable device is called into use to
secrete and preserve this money"
"Another peculiar hab bit these peo-
pie have developed is the habit of
scraping together quite consider
able sum, then purchasing money
order at the postofice.
"They keep these money orders a,
considerable time, then go and have
them cashed. In this way the money
is tied up just the same as if it were
hid away in a sock"
sThere is no telling how much money
the thousands with these peculiar
traits have boarded away in Kenosha.
There must be thousands of dollars.
Track laborers have been found with
from $500 to $500 in their belts and
the wages they earn do not compare
at all favorably with the wages
earned by some of the factory en-
p1oyes."
1T is not so much how much
money there is hidden away, anyway"
said he. 1T is the good it could do if
it we're in circulation IF thousand
workmen earn SIP week and deposit
50 in the bank. that So will pay a
quarter of their wages next week.
and still they have it. The other So
have been spent with the merchants,
who in turn put it into circulation so
that part of their wages is all right. =

LOST ALL IN EARTHQUAKE
Chas. Schulz Comes Back From San
Francisco for Visit With Relatives

Chas. Schulz Comes Back From San
Francisco for Visit With Relatives
Charles Schulz, former Kenosha
boy, who has been working at the
plant of the Union Iron Works at San
Francisco for the past two years, is
here for a short visit with friends
and relatives in the city Schulz was
in San Francisco at the time of the
recent earthquake and the house III
which he was living was completely
wrecked. Schulz escaped from the
house uninjured, but all of his cloth
ing and personal effects were de-
stroyed by the FIRE which followed the
quake. Schulz claims that he has
managed perate from his losses
and will return to San Francisco in a
few days to continue in his old posi-
ton. Hestates that San Francisco is
rapidly recovering from the losses of
the quake and that the new city will
be the greatest city of the Pacific
coast

MAY INCREASE PAY
Postmaster General las Recon-
mended Higher Salaries for
the Postal Clerks
ASKS FOR LARGE AMOUNT

C1erksi in the Kenosha postoffice may
soon receive notices of an increase in
salaries, as Assistant Postmaster
General Hitchcock has announced that
he had recommended a sum which
permits Of increased salaries
While there is no certainty that the
sum will be allowed or that the Keno
sha postal clerks will have their sal
aries increased, yet there is reason to
believe that the amount will be al
lowed and some of the Kenosha postal
clerks can figure on increases in
salaries about January /.
If the amount recommended by Mr..
Hitchcock is allowed, it will permit
increased salaries to rs per cent of
the clerks in the grade below 5000,
about SO per cent of the clerks receiv-
ing 5000 and $1,000, about 40 per cent
of those receiving from ST., 100 to
200, and about 80 per cent of those
receiving more than ST., 200.
In each of the grades above named
there are some in Kenosha and the
superstition is that major portion of
the clerks here will be benefited. The
Kenosha Office is one Of the best pay
ing IN the country, although the bust
ness dropped off somewhat last year,
yet for the number of clerks employed
the showing of the Office is an excel
lent one, and if salaries are to be in
creased in other cities Postmaster
Maloney will 40 doubt cndeavor to
have the salaries of his assistants in
creased the same proportion as are
salaries Of clerks in Offices in other
cities.

Polish People of kenosha to be Asked
to Give to Fund to Secure Privileges
The large Polish population of Ke-
nosha will be interested in hearing
of a report from Berlin that Polish
residents Of the United States are to
be appealed to for contributions to
help carry on work of the organiza-
ton engaged in trying to induce the
German government to grant priv
ileges to Poles living In the eastern
provinces Of the empire, especially
to secure the concession of allowing
the use Of the Polish language in con-
Quoting religious instructions IN the
state schools.
Two emissaries sailed today from
Bremen for America to take charge
Of the campaign for contributions
from American Poles.
The school strike organized to en-
force the demand Of Polish children
that their native tongue be used in
religious instructions in the schools
is spreading and the parents are ac-
lively supporting their children in
the strike.
Miloslaw, 5ilesia, was the scene of
an armed conflict between Poles and
the police yesterday. A meeting of
the Poles bearing arms was surprised
by the police and all the participants
arrested after struggle. Among
those captured was Herr Koscieski,
a member of the Prussian house of
peers, and Chrzanovski, member of
the reichstag. ALI the participants
have been indicted for treason.
