Board Of Education Decides to
Buy Site at Corner of Grand
Ave. and Rowland Ave.
PLUMBING BIDS UNAcCEPTED
Matter of Contract for the New West
Side School not Taken up by the
Board of Education on
Tuesday Evening

After many weeks of Wrangling the
members of theI board of education
have made a definite decision in regard
to siteEfor the proposed west side
schoolsand the committee in charge of
purchasing site has been instructed
to close asdeal for the;purchase of two
and a half acres of land from the
Balm estate. The land is located in
the town of Somers at the corner of
stipulated Eprice is ST., 500, $500 more
than thes original proposition of the
managers of the estate. Since the
proposition was made year ago the
price of land in this.s section of the
city has materially Increased in price
and the managers of the estate were
unwilling to allow the board to take
advantage0of the lows offer made last
year. The purchase lis to be made
with the understanding that the
property bes annexed to the city by
the present owners. Steps have al
ready beens.taken for the annexation
of the site and there is little doubt but
that the purchase will be concluded
within the next few weeks.
The board of education spent much
time at the meeting Tuesday evening
discussing this purchase. A PROPOSE
ton was received from the trustees in
charge of..the sale of the Rice property
Offering a site on Grand avenue just
east of the Balm site. This tract of
ground had frontage of 259 feet on
Grandsavenue 'and contained little
more land than the Balm tract. It was
offered at a price of$2, 500. The mem
site was about as valuable as the other
it would be only business to take the
cheaper of the two.
No action.swas taken in regard to
signing the contract Efor the new
school building and the matter was
not brought !, officially before the
board. The members of the board
favorirg tllescontract seem to have
no desire tos!force the nand of Presi-
dent Theirs.

plumbing in the new building, but one
of them pwas 0presented by School
ComnissionersSu1livan and he stated
that as he was a member of the board
he wou1dcnotsssbe able to accept the
contract. Hesfna1ly withdrew his bid
and as only, twois bids remained the
board decided Ito lay the matter of
plumbing contracts over until later.
It was announced that the contract for
the heating inHthe new building was
still unsigned and it will be held until
the general contract is disposed of.
The committee on building reported
that the motor at the school
was giving general satisfaction. This
is the only electric motor in the city
schools and it is Gclaimed that the
Weiskopf school has been the warmest
building in the city.
The board received and accepted
the designations of Miss sHi1lesheim,
Miss Ryan andkMiss Anna Stevens,
and the committee was instructed to
fill the vacancies. EMiss Stevens was
forced to give up her work on account
of the serioussillness of her mother.

THERE is said to be great rumpus
on in Washington because certain Re
publican members propose to give the
people of Arizona and New Mexico a
chance to vote on the proposition to
unite the two territories and admit
them as one state, and all the power
of party discipline is being used to
whip these members into line and
make them vote for the statehood bill
as party measure. We hope that
they will stand firm, and leave the de-
cision to the people of the two terri
tories. The most powerful opposition
to the proposition to admit Arizona
and New Mexico as one state, comes
right from the two territories, and if
the people there are not competent to
decide the question for themselves
the new state ought never to be ad-
mitted, anyway. Why force state
hood on them?

THERE is considerable feeling de-
ve1oping all over the city that Presi-
dent Frost should build on the streets
on which he already has franchises
before asking for any other privi-
1eges. If he desires to change the
plans made by Mr.. Arnold, let him
surrender the franchises he now
holds on those streets which he does
not intend to use, aud ask for others
on the streets where he is ready to
build Immediately. The idea Of tieing
up the streets for long term Of years
by giving the street railway company
a franchise covering themvwhich it
has no present intention of using for
anything except to block possible
competitions not popular. If the
council listens to public opinion it
will not give the street railway com
pany any franchise that it does not in
tend to use Immediately. The people
generally favor the extension of the
railway, and President Frost is in no
danger of ''hold up" if he takes
them into his confidence, explains his
plans, and asks only for what is nee
essary to carry them out.

MEYERS rs DISCHARGED
Kenosha Man Will Not be Tried on
Charge of Violating Postal Laws

United States Judge Joseph v.
Quarles yesterday handed down a
decision sustaining the demurrer
entered in the case Of the United
States government against Charles
Meyers of this city in which he held
that the indictment against Meyers
was defective and the defendant was
discharged. Meyers was arrested
many months ago on a charge Of
opening letter which was not in
tended for him. The letter which
contained a check for $500 had been
intended for another Charles Meyers,
who was visiting IN Kenosha at the
time. Meyers and his attorneys held
from the first that his action in open
ing the Letter did not constitute a
cause for action and this opinion has
been upheld by the court.

The tests of samples Of pork sub
mitted to the U. S. inspectors and to
the state health department show
trichinae germs to be present in an
unusual number of instances. There
is always a chance that some of the
diseased meat may escape the vigil
ance of the authorities and be offered
for sale and while there has been no
trichinosis reported from this vicinity
in many months, it is as likely to ap-
pear here as anywhere and every
consumer of pork should take extra
care to see that the meat is thoroughly
cooked before being eaten. A little
care may save somebody serious
and perhaps fatal illness.

The United States is building son

The United States is building some
new war ships that are expected to be
the very finest things of the kind
afoat, and when they are completed
this country will be in the front rank
as naval power until some other
nation builds something better. Then
we shall have to go to work again to
regain our standing by building more
ships. This is competition-on con-
stantly increasing scale of expendi-
ture, too and it is fortunate that this
nation is prepared to stand the pace
set by its rivals.

Kenosha
A CRIMINAL WITH SENTIMENT
Ben Boyd, NOW Serving Term in the
Penitentiary, Demands Pictures

y
Ben Boyd, arrested in Kenosha
many months ago on a charge of
stealing chickens, has sent unique
request to 1.-THE sheriff of the county.
At the time of the arrest of Boyd he
had in his pockets pictures of his
wife and baby, and when he was
searched at the Jail these pictures
were taken from him and placed in
one of the boxes allotted for the pris-
oners. Later it was discovered that
Boyd wasIan escaped convict, and he
was sent back to, Michigan City, Ind,
to serve out an unexpired term.
Today the sheriff received a letter
from Boyd, who is still in prison at
Michigan City, demanding the return
of the pictures of his wife and baby.
He states in his letter that these pic
lures are very dear to him.
In the annual clearance of - Jail
the pictures were r-ispIaced, but the
sheriff and his assistants are making
every effort to find them. It is posi-
BILE that Boyd would have a right to
bring suit to recover his pictures.

Two Kenosha basketball teams won
Tuesday night in games with outside

Lincoln Turner's on their own floor at

while the Working Boys defeated the
Racine Second Intermediates in the

of q to d. The boys played much
better than in any previous game and
their team work was entirely too
much for the Racine players.
The contest at Chicago was a very
clean and we'll played one, being fast
at all stages and especially during
the last ten minutes of play wheI the
Kenosha five threw six field goals.
