TWO CLUBS ARE OUT
and Chicago Clubs
Expelled From Lake Shore
League Wednesday
OTHERS TO SEEK,FRANCHlsES

AT the meeting of the managers of
the Lake Shore Baseball League, held
at the Republican House in Milwau-
kee Wednesday night, the Waukegan
and Chicago teams, which had held
franchises in the league last season,
we're formally expelled, and these two
franchises will be offered for sale to
Wisconsin clubs. Milwaukee, Racine,
Port Washington, Kenosha, Sheboy-
gan and Manitowoc will remain,in the
league for next year and the circuit
will be completed by the addition of
two other Wisconsin clubs. Appleton
and Fond du Lac both had represen-
tatives at the meeting Wednesday
night, but no step was taken to accept
these clubs as members of the league.
Fond du Lac now has a team i'm the
State League and it is certain that
the city will not also get franchise
from the Lake Shore League. It is
said that Beloit and GAINESVILLE would
like to get into the league, but the
towns are so hard to get at that it is
feared that the other, teams in the
league would lose money at these two
towns on account of the heavy travel
ing expenses. The decision in regard
to the two teams to be accepted in the
league will be made at meeting of
the league magnates to be held in
December.
The franchise for the Milwaukee
team, which was held by the late Will
liam ]. Carney, was transferred to his
brother, Joseph M. Carney, who
stated that he would have a strong
team in the field next year, and that
in addition he would open park in
Milwaukee for the use of the Lake
Shore League clubs. This will leave
the league without single travelling
club and it will make the work of the
schedule committee much easier. The
schedule committee will begin work
early in January and the new sched-
ule will be announced by the first of
February. The playing season will
begin the last Sunday in April and
continue until the second Sunday in
October. Saturday games will be ar
ranged for some of the cities in the
league.

APPLICATIONS FALL OFF

Only Eight Aliens to Receive Citizen
ship in This County in March
Interest in naturalization among the
aliens of Kenosha county seems to
have fallen off decidedly since the
new law went into effect and Clerk of
the Circuit Court Waldo has received
but eight applications for second
papers during the last six months.
These applications will be taken up
in the Circuit on March 10 of next
year. Applications received up to
Dec. 10 will be taken up at the same
time, but after that date the appli-
cants will have to wait until such a
time as it will be possible to get the
Judge of the circuit court and the
United States district attorney to
come to Kenosha and make out the
second papers.

SEEK AUTO THIEF
Kenosha Police Urged to Look for
Harry Custer. Wanted in Chicago

Kenosha Police Urged to Look for
Harry Custer. Wanted in Chicago
Chief of Police O'Hare has received
letter from Captain O'Brien, of the
Chicago detective bureau, asking him
TO make an effort to arrest Harry Gus
ter, who is wanted in that city on a
charge of stealing an automobile val
ned at SIS, 300. Custer is said to be an
expert chauffeur and he was engaged
IN this capacity when he left Chicago
with the stolen car.
1t is claimed that the man went
north with the machine and it is sup
posed that he has stored it in some of
the cities along the North shore until
he can find some way of disposlng of
it. The city Of Kenosha seems to be
a haven for auto thieves and for this
reason the police think it possible that
Custer and the car Will appear here
later.

HAD INTERESTING MEETING
Bad Weather Causes Small Attendance
at Woman's Club

The fourth meeting of the Kenosha
Woman's Club came to order at the
usual hour, Mrs. Skinkle presiding.
The program for the afternoon opened
with three Italian songs by chorus
of wonen's voices consisting of Miss
Warrens, Miss Hansen, Miss Shep-
herd, Miss Aileen Shepherd, Miss
Winberg and Miss Wells, accompan
led by Mrs. Tanner. The songs were
"Caroli," French Pins" a peddler's
song, and "Marguerita," all charac-
teristic street songs of the Italian cit
les, very humorous and pretty, and
most pleasing1y rendered.
Mrs. w. P. Robinson read the essay
of the afternoon, "The Medici," and
Mrs. Graves led the discussion. It
was a matter OF regret that the ex-
tremely disagreeable weather pre-
vented many from enjoying the de-
lightful program.

PICKET A GROCERY
Union Men Send Men to Talk
With Customers Trading
at Karnes Brothers
KNOW NO CAUSE FOR ACTION

An unusual case of labor trouble was
discovered in Kenosha this morning
when it was reported that pickets had
been set to watch the grocery store of
Karnes Brothers on Rowland avenue
For the past three days men had been
placed about the store to talk with
customers, a nd it is claimed that they
were advised to take their patronage
to some other store.
No one seems to know who the men
were or their connection with any
other labor trouble now in the city.
interview this morning said: $50 far
as I know the pickets have been
withdrawn, but they we're about
the store for some time. do not
know who they we're or the reason
they had for picketing the store. It
would be hard matter for US to prove
that these men had asked our custom
ers not to trade with us, but this is
supposed to be the case"
1t is thought that this is the first
time that pickets have been thrown
out to watch any place of business
not connected with labor trouble.
Various stories have been circulated
IL regard to the men watching at the
store, it being stated by som that the
men were sent to the store on account
of the fact that groceries had been
sold by the firm tc boarding houses
where non-union men were being
given their meals. If this is the fact
the managers of the company seem to
be ignorant of it and they are selling
goods to all corners regardless Of the
use to which these groceries are put.
No steps have been taken to stop
the picketing of the store and no aid
has been asked BY the members of the
grocery firm for the purpose Of pro-
tecting their property or their bust
ness.

ENTERTAIN DR.. BROWN
Ruskin Club of First Baptist Church
Entertain for Retiring Pastor


The Rev. Harvey Dee Brown, who
will retire from the passionate of the
First Baptist church on next Sunday
evening, was the guest of honor at a
social given by the Rnskin club of
the church in the parlors of the
church Wednesday evening. Or.
Brown has been active in organizing
the club and had been most interested
in the work that had been done by it..
During the evening the members of
the club showed their appre ciation of
the work of DR.. Brown by presenting
him with a beautiful time piece.
Later in the evening there was pro-
gram and refreshments and the even
ing proved to be very enjoyable one
for all present.
The committee in charge of select
ing a new pastor of the church has
as yet issued no call to any one but
the matter will be taken up in the
very near future and it is expected
that the new pastor of the church will
be selected before the opening of the
new year.

LAY UP BIG BOATS
Steam Bar9es Adriatic and Rufus p.
Ranney Laid Up in Kenosha

Ranney Laid Up in Kenosha
Two of the largest boats on the
lake, the steam barges "Adriatic"
and Rufus P. Ranney," both sailing
out of Cleveland, O., as home port
have been laid up in the Kenosha
river for the winter and they will re-
main in port here until spring. With
the laying up of the boats the men
owning them have put large num-
Der of men at work to place them in
condition for the new season and the
work will continue during the winter.
For years Kenosha has been ia
vorite place for the laying up of
smaller boats and yachts, but this is
the first time that any of the larger
lake vessels have been laid up in the
Kenosha river for the winter.

CAN'T FIND DRIVER
Man Who Was Driving Tannery
Team Which Went Into the
River is Missing Now
he MAY ALSO HAVE DROWNED

Michael Savage, one of the en-
ployes Of the N. r. Aliens Sons
tannery, is missing and there is good
reason TO believe that the man has
been drowned in the dirty aters Of
the Kenosha river just west of the
Main street bridge. Savage was en-
ployed as teamster, and he was
driving the team which backed off the
breakwater into the river just before
8 O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. Both
of the horses were drowned but they
we're removed from the river short
time later. A search was at once in
stituted for the driver, but up to a
late hour Thursday no trace of him had
been found and the managers of the
company are in doubt as to whether
or not he drowned with his team or
whether he has run away and lis SO
frightened that he fears to make his
appearance at his boarding house.
The man has not been seen since the
accident at any of hiss accustomed
haunts.
Joseph Weddlestedt, the agent for
the Cream City Brewery in Kenosha,
informed the police this kmorning
that he had seen Savage sitting on his
wagon when the horses backed into
the river and that he saw the man
disappear into the river. Employees
of the tannery on the other hand
claim that after the wheels of the
wagon had gone off the Lbreakwater
they saw Savage at the horses heads
making an effort to keep them from
going into the river. They claim that
after the horses had fallenSinto the
river they saw Savage run into one
of the buildings and get his dinner
pail and stort north. The managers
of the tannery Thursday sent out
four men to search through the
Lithuanian settlements of the city for
the man, but they found nothing of
him. Savage was not at his boarding
house Wednesday night and none of
his fellow boarders had seen anything
of him.
The river was dragged Thursday,
but no trace of the man was
found. If he is not located Thurs
day the Kenosha Life Saving crew
will be asked to make, a thorough
search of the river about the place
where the team was drowned.
Little is known in regard to the
missing man. He had been employed
by the tannery for some time and had
been working most of the time as
teamster.
The man who was working with
Savage was found late Thursday after
noon and through an interpreter he
informed the managers of the plant
that he had talked with Savage after
the accident and that the man was
greatly excited. He claimed that he
was afraid that he would be charged
up with the value of the team and
that for this reason he had visions Of
working year for nothing and
started to run north. It is supposed
that the man is still running. He has
not returned TO his boarding house
and nothing has been seen of him by
his friends since that time. The
managers of the plant are still search
ing for him and it is expected that ne
will be located within a short time.
