New Residence Of A. KreugeF on
Rowland Ave Badly Dam
aged by Incendiary Fire
CHIEF SEEKS GUILTY PARTY
Shavings in Nearly Finished House
Had Been Raked Into Pantry and
Fire Set to Them.-DamaGe
Amounts to 500

The Police Chief and the Chief OF
the Fire Department are Investigate
ing an alleged incendiary fire which
occurred lust after 10 o'clock Friday
evening at a new residence being
built by A. Kreuger on Rowland
avenue, just off Prairie avenue, and
the case promises to be most SEN
sational one. The fire was discov-
cred in the house by Alex. Wilson,
who turned in the alarm, and the
mem bers of the Department managed
to get to the house in time 70 save 1t.
The finishing touches were just being
put on the house and there had been
no fire of any sort in it. The fire
originated in the pantry of the house
and an investigation by the Chief and
Mr.. Kreuger revealed the fact that
shavings taken from other rooms OF
the house had been raked into the
small pantry and FIRE set to them.
Just after o'clock man was seen to
leave the house and run south along
Rowland avenue and short time
later the fire was discovered.
Chief lsermann, when seen this
morning, stated that there was no
doubt in his mind but that the house
was deliberately set on fire by some
enemy of Krueger's. "You See, said
the Chief, "Kreuger came up here
from Zion City and began work as a
contractor and he was put on the un.
fair list by some of the labor unions
on account of his attitude toward
some of the members and since that
time he has had a great deal OF
trouble with some of the union men.
I do not believe that this FIRE was set
by the union or with it's knowledge,
but do believe that some man who is
a fanatic on union labor went into the
house and planned its destruction.
We are close on The heels of the fell
low and I expect that he will be ar
rested. The matter has been laid be-
fore the police and they are aiding us
in the investigation of the case"
The case caused quite stir in
building circles today and most of the
men declare CndI Iucy 1cCA CeItd1u
that the fire could not have been
started by any rational union man
and that there was no reason to in
augurate such fight against Kreuger.
The fire badly scorched the new house
and the damage doneswas more than
q hundred dollars.
In connection with the fire Chief
Isermanu has taken occasion to ask
the people of the city who turn in an
alarm of FIRE to remain at the box un-
til the department arrives. If this is
done the department will be greatly
aided in discovering the cause Of the
FIRE

Congressman Gets Stereotyped Letter
IN Regard to Public Building
Congressman HI. A. Cooper, of RAJ
cine, has joined with E. G. Timme IN
the effort to rush the work on the
Kenosha public building and the
congressman of the district has been
in communication with the Secretary
of the Treasury in regard to the work.
A letter from the Congressman shows
that he has not achieved any greater
success than Mr.. Timme. The letter
follows:
To the Editor EVENING NEWS:
So many inquiries have come TO me
from Kenosha as to when work will
be begun on the new federal building
in your city that | beg to call your
attention to letter which have just
received from the Supervising Archi-
tect of the Treasury, which may be
of interest to your readers, and which
quote as follows, to-wit:
''Hon. Henry Allen Cooper, Member
of Congress, Racine, Wis:
'sSir: This office (office of the super
vising architect) acknowledges receipt
of your letter Of Sept. IL, making in
quiry regarding the drawings for the
proposed new postoffice building at
Kenosha, Wisconsin. tn reply you
are advised that following the usual
Office practice Of taking mp the
various buildings in the order in
which the sites we're vested in the
control Of the government, the build
ing at Kenosha, Wisconsin, mas been
placed on the list in its regular order
and has not yet been taken up.
cit is probable that the preliminary
sketches will be begun about the first
of February, and that after these are
approved by the Cabinet Board, as re
quired by law, and the necessary
working drawings and specifications
have been made, it will be late in the
spring of 1908 before it will be pos,
sible to begin actual work at the
site. Respectfully,
sGSigned) J. K. TAYLOR,
Supervising Architect. I
Very truly yours,

CARY AGAINST FRATs
Says He Believes High School Societies
Create Snobbishness

Following the denuneiation by DR..
Charles Mccarthy, Of university fra
ternities, State Superintendent of
Schools G. p. Cary, who was in Mil
waukee Friday to see President Chas.
McKenney, of the Milwaukee normal
school, expressed himself as con-
WINGED that high school fraternities
have tendency to instill a spirit of
snobbishness and declared himself in
favor of their adjustment.
81 am unable to speak at first hand
as | never belonged to a high school
fraternity myself, and have not been
engaged in high school work since
the fraternities came into existence in
the high Schools" said Mr.. Cary.
"From what have seen and heard /
am convinced that they have ten
dency to foster an undemocratic
spirit, and am in favor of their
adjustment. They influence the life
Of the pupil at time when he is most
sensitive to such influences. The
state school authorities have no power
to take action in the matter, how
ever, that being left to the local
authorities.

which opposition can be made to the
'frats.' 1t has been said that they

WILL PUSH HIS CLAIM
W. M. CoWeiI To Make New Effort
To Get Possession of vaIu.
able Lands tn Florida
CLAIMS PART OF GREAT CITY

Walter M. Cowell, of this city, is to
make another effort to secure posses
sion to property which he claims on
the strength of United States patent
and 1t is Just possible that the &C.
centric Kenosha attorney may yet
spend his declining years in af1uence.
The land in question lies in the very
heart of the city Of Jacksonville and
it is claimed by Cowell on land
patent issued by the government in
1891. Cowell has now placed the
matter in the hands of attorneys in
Racine and Kenosha and they have
been given power to go ahead and
get possession.
The story of the famous claim is a
decidedly interesting one. Back in 1891
Cowell went to Jacksonville where
he met man by the name of G. A
Mcbride AID the two men got to look
ing over the real estate records of the
city and discovered that one section
in the very center of the city had
never been claimed by any one and
that to all intents and purposes it
was still open for settlement. Both
Cowel1 and Mcbride had taken out
homestead rights and for this reason
they secured a negro by the name of
Hogan and with him they went to
Washington and acting for him they
secured a patent to the section of
land which afterward became known
as Hogan's donation to the city of
Jacksonville.
AS soon as Hogan had perfected his
title to the land patented, he gave
quit claim deeds to Mcbride and
claimed to themselves each taking
half interest. The deed from Mcbride
to Cowell was placed on record, but a
few days after Cowell had executed
the quit claim deed Mcbride disap-
peared and he has never been seen
since. It is claimed that he was shot
in fight, but no proof of this fact
has ever been established. AS the
records stand today Cowe1l has clear
title to all of the property, but as he
has once been driven from Jackson
vile by irate property claimants he
has been slow to return and claim his
rights. The matter is to be taken
into the United States Court and it is
possible that in this manner Cowel1
will be able to get possession.
The land is in that portion of Jack
sonville known as Springfield and it
lis assessed there at $3,OO0,00O. This
is said to be about one-thi1d of the
real value of the property.

CHILDREN RETURNED
St. Mary's Summer Home for
Children Closed for Season
Friday Morning
SEASON A SUCCESSFUL ONE

The Sisters of st. Mary closed the
sumner home here Friday morn.
ing and more than hundred children
who had been spending the summer
at the home left on special train for
Chicago to return to the pleasant
home on Jackson boulevard, where
they will spend the winter. The year
just closed has been the most sue.
cessful in the history of the home.
The children, more than hundred Ia
number, wereabrought to; Kenosha on
the first dayl.of july and they have
had three full months of pleasure
along the lake shore. During the last
week the weather has been so cold
that the Sisters we're forced to close
the home Eearlier than had been
planned. It had been planned to keep
the children in Kenosha until after
the middle of October and it is now
planned togmake an effort to have a
heatingsplant placed in the home be-
fore another season opens.
The visit of the children has proved
the hea1thfulness of the Kenosha eli
mate, as during the long period that
they have been in Kenosha there has
not been a case of serious illness
amongsthe children and the visit of
the doctor has been a rare thing at
the home. 81 During the summer the
regular school work has been carried
on. The people of Kenosha have been
most loyal in the support of the home
and nearly all the supplies for the
home have been furnished by local
people.
With the opening of the new year
it is thought possible that new
building will be erected on the
grounds owned by the Sisters for the
accommodation of large number of
children from Milwaukee. Two years
ago the Sisters offered one Of the Mil
waukee City Missions site for a
home for children from that city and
the people interested in the,work in
Milwaukee have been raising fund
for the erection of the home. 1t is
thought that sufficient fund will be
raised TO insure the building Of a
home to take care of twenty children
before the opening Of next summer.
Many prominent Milwaukee women
have been interested in the plan and
it is pretty certain that it will prove a
success.
