PLANNING BIG FIGHT
Saloon Men Of The State Organ
izing to Meet the Prohibition
Movement in Wisconsin
KEN0SHA MEN ASKED TO AID

All saloon men in Kenosha have re-
ceived letters today urging them to
attend meeting at the Anti Prohibi.
ton League of Wisconsin, which is to
be held in the Blatz hotel in Mi1wau-
kee, Jan. Ia and IS. The liquor in
terests of the state seem to be stirred
as never before and in the appeal
that these Interests are sending out
to theKsa1oon interests, it is evident
that strong effort is to be made to
secure some legislation more favora-
bic to saloons at the coming session
are thoroughly scared by the move
'ments that are being started in various
parts Of the state and notwithstand.
ing the fact that it is year before
the Legislature meets the state or
ganization has begun the work of fos-
tering q sentiment in favor of more
lenient treatment of the saloons. The
Anti Prohibition League has already
begun active work and it is the plan
OF the leaders of the league to hold
meetings to combat the force of the
work being done by the Wisconsin
Anti-Saloon league in the larger
cities of the state. The letter to the
saloon men shows that there is no
longer any doubt as to the feeling of
the liquor men and the letter starts
out: Realizing the extreme danger
of the coming Leg stature enacting
unjust laws which would prove serious
consequences to the liquor interests
of Wisconsin and the necessity of
prompt action for the protection of
our interests some thirty representa-
tive retail liquor dealers from ali
parts of the state have formed this
league"
Kenosha men attended 9recent
meeting held for the formation of the
league and it is certain that the local
interests will be represented at the
meeting next week. Kenosha is re-
garded as one of the towns on the
firing line in the fight for the suppress
sion Of the liquor traffic and the
saloon men here will adopt ali possible
methods for defense.

IS HELD FOR TRIAL
Louis KarsChot, Arrested for Rob-
bing the Fair Store, is Held
to the Circuit Court
COMPANION SAID TO BE MYTH

Louis Karschot, arrested on Mon.
day on a charge of burglarizing the
Fair Store, was held for trial on
charge of burglary ia Justice Nc Car
ron's court on Tuesday afternoon.
Bail was fixed at 81. 900, and the man
returned to Jail to await hearing at
the March term of the Circuit Court.
Karschot has given out that his real
name is Alexander Kerkoff, but he
declares that the remainder of the
story told to the police is true. He
still insists that he had a confederate
when he robbed the store, but he has
told so many conflicting stories that
the officials have been convinced that
the story of confederate is false, and
that Karschot or Kerkhoff was alone
guilty ia the burglary. The man who
was alleged to have been with Kar-
schot when the store was robbed has
been eagerly sought by the police,
but the officers ia Racine and Keno
sha have been able to find no trace of
the man, and it is thought pretty GER
ldAn thdt lac OAu AOl gu LulO NdC10G Oh
the morning following the robbery.
He has given several descriptions of
the man who is alleged to have been
with him, and he has told so many
stories in regard to him that Chief
O'Hare declared this morning that
the other man was myth, and that
KarsChot was alone guilty.
1t is thought possible that this ia
not the first crime of the kind that
Karschot has been connected with
and the police are seeking to End
something of his record in other years
He is decidedly taciturn in regard &c
his past history, but he insists that he
has been in this country for only
little over year, and that he had
been in Kenosha but a short time
when he entered the Fair Store. Il
is thought that Kerschot will go be-
fore the Circuit Judge as soon as pcs
sible and plead guilty to the charges
against him and accept his punish
ment.
The police claim that the case
against him is SO strong that it would
be impossible for him to escape being
convicted if the case were brought to
trial

Prof. J. c. Monaghan, Of Norte
Dame, Speaks Before Large
Crowd at Opera House
OUR LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
Speaker Declares That This CountrS
Leads in Resources and Raw Ma
teria1s, and She is Second to
Germany Only in Schools

Prof. ]. c. Monaghan, of South
Bend, Indiana, widely known
throughout the country as student
and professor of political science and
political orator, spoke at the Rhode
opera house on Tuesday evening
under the auspices Of the Kenosha
chapter of the knights of Columbus
and the lecture was one that charmed
and instructed crowd Of no less than
seven hundred people.
Prof. Monaghan is one of the men
who has been in close touch with the
principles of economics as applied in
this country add he spoke as one hav.
ing authority. His lecture america
the Land of Opportunity" was one of
the best lectures ever heard in Keno.
sha and many times during the hour
and half that he spoke he was IN
terrupted by applause.
To ana1yze the lecture of last night
is impossible; to summarize It is to.
destroy its completeness. 1t was
necessary to hear it to fully appre-
ciate it's full value. Prof. Monaghan
spoke of America as the land of his
birth and gave critical review of
the opportunities which this country
is presenting to the young men. He
declared that the nation with raw
material and with schools was bound
to forge to the front and that America
today had more of this raw material
than any other country in the world.
He spoke of the schools of the nation
and while he admitted that Germany
was still superior to the United
States in educational industries that
in short time this country would
assume it's rightful place at the head
of the world of learning.
Mr.. Monaghan spoke of the ques-
ton of war with japan and declared
that such thing would be out of the
question on account of the fact that
the United States so far exceeded
Japan in wealth and resources that
the japanese people would appreciate
the impossibility of long maintaining
a struggle against the powerful re-
sources of this country. He spoke of
the recent financial furry and de-
-clared that there was no cause for the
existence of such furry and that
the lack of confidence of the people
had been foolish mistake. He spoke
of industrial conditions and declared
that every day capital and labor were
drawing closer together. He urged
the young men of the country to take
the.ballot as their greatest opportunity
and by it make of this United States
the greatest and grandest nation On
the face of the earth.
Prof. Monaghan was formerly a
Professor in the University of Wis
consin, but at present he is at the
head of the Department of Political
Economy at the University of Notre
Dame.

Officers and Directors to- be Elected
Friday Evening

Friday Evening
The annual business meeting of the
Young Mems Christian association
will be held on Friday evening, Jan.
10. at eight O'Clock. At this meeting
reports of all committees will be given
covering the activities of the associa.
ton for the past year and four direc-
tors will be elected.
Following are the names of six men
who have consented to have their
names used as nominees. L. M.
Theirs, M. M. Mattson, A F. Westine,
Walter Cavanagh, c. M. johnson and
H. H. Maddox.
The above list is submitted as a
suggestion-any man in the city may
be voted for. The four men who are
active members of the association re-
ceiving the largest number of votes
will be declared elected.
Mindful of the fact that the direc-
tors have the responsibility of carry
ing into effect the principles of this
organization the committee urges
that all who are entitled to vote shall
do 1.-THE best men are needed and it
would be an act Of discourtesy to fail
to vote. A ballot box will be placed
in the Association building during
the day for the accommodation of
those who are unable to attend the
evening meeting.
