POOR ARE WELL CARED FOR
Business Men in Kenosha Declare That
the Christmas Season was the Best
in the History of the City-Sales
Set New Record for Town.

Kenosha had an old fashioned Christ
mas Saturday and the celebration of
the day continued over the double
holiday. For the first time in many
years Christmas Day brought to Ke-
nosha an old fashioned snow storm and
this added the Christmas feeling to
the celebration and every one made
merry. Services were held in the
churches of the city and notwithstand-
ing the snow storm all of these serv-
ices were well attended. At ST..
Matthews church and at ST.. Peter s
Chapel at Kemper Hall midnight serv-
ices were held to welcome the coming
of the day and at the Roman Catholic
churches early morning masses were
held. 1t was a great day for the
poor of the city as charitable organi-
cations kept working in the snow
storm Friday night until nearly mid
night and when the work was complet-
ed it is thought that every family in
the city had been properly provided
for.
Christmas mogning found the streets
deserted but during the afternoon
when the sun came out many sleigh
ride parties were seen about the city
and in the evening places Of amuse-
ment were crowded while hundreds of
other people attended the Christmas
entertainments held at the churches.
From business standpoint the
Christmas season was the best in the
history of Kenosha and business men
are united in their declaration that
The volume Of holiday business far
exceeds that done in any previous year
in Kenosha. 1t is certain that the
business done on Friday was greater
in volume than that done in any other
day in the history Of Kenosha. The
snow seemed to bring out the people
and at times during the afternoon the
Christmas buying was SO heavy that it
became necessary to lock the doors of
some of the stores in order to give
the clerks a chance to take care of
the customers.
It is impossible to give even an
estimate of the Christmas business
done in Kenosha but it is certain that
the mercandise bought for Christmas
this year would reach in value far
over 100000. Every line of bust
ness felt the increase and retail mer-
chants without exception declare, that
they are well satisfied with the holiday
trade. Some of the merchants found
a much larger trade than they had ex-
pected and stocks were entirely ex-

that he had known Mrs Fonda at least
a year and that they knew he expect
ed to wed her in the near future.

FIND BODY SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Body Had Been Frozen in the Snow
and Shovels Were Necessary to Re-
lease it-Man Left Home to Get
Pitcher of Beer for Celebration.

One Christmas celebration in Keno
sha had fatal ending as the body
of Louis Szyperak, who left his home
on Racine avenue just west of the
tracks of the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway Company on Friday night
at eight O'Clock to get a pitcher of beer
for the members of the family, was
found frozen in the snow $50 feet
north of the crossing of the railway
at North street Just after noon Sunday.
1t is supposed that the man was struck
by the fast train which reached Ke-
nosha at $40 Friday evening, but no
report of the accident was made by
the men in charge of the train and the
fact that the man had been killed was
not discovered until the frozen body
was found by Oscar Hansen, friend
of the family who took up the search
Sunday morning.
-Szyperak and the members of his
family were having merry Christmas
celebration on Friday evening and it
was just eight o'clock when he put on
his coat and hat stating that he would
go out and get pitcher of beer to
help the celebration along. This was
the last seen of him alive The wife
and children waited all night for his
return and when morning came they
told Of his disappearance to the neigh
bors, but no trace of the missing man
was found. Saturday night his disap-
pearance was reported to the police
and on Sunday morning the agony of
the widow and the children became so
intense that neighbors volunteered to
take up the search. Thinking it DOS
sible that the man might have been
killed by the train Oscar Hansen start
ed to walk north along the tracks. He
had gone but short distance when he
saw one of the boots Of the man stick
ing out of the snow. The heavy snow
fall of Friday night and Saturday
morning had completely hidden the
body from view.
Coroner Andre was hurriedly called
and he directed that the body be re-
moved to the Rutledge and Robertshaw
mofgue. When the men started to re-
move the body it was found necessary
to use axes as the body was frozen
into the snow banks on the side of the
railway tracks.
Szyperak was AZ years of age and
is survived by widow and seven
children. He has been a resident of
Kenosha for some time It is thought
that he was unable to hear the ap-
preaching train he suffering from de-

being blind in one eye he did not see

FIRE ON ROWLAND AVENUE
Residence of F. Markham is scorched
BY Fire Starting in a Closet.

The fire department was called out
late Monday afternoon on account of
a fire at the residence of Frank Mark
ham on Rowland avenue. The blaze
which started in a clothes closet on the
first floor of the building did damage
to the amount of more than $3.50 be-
fore it was extinguished. The origin
of the fire is a complete mystery. Mrs.
Markham was in the house at the time
but she had not been in the closet for
more than an hour before the fire
broke out. The loss from the fire was
completely covered by insurance. The
family of T. Tillofsen occupies the
upper fiat in the building but they
suffered no loss as result of the fire.

ARREST FOR HANSEN
Harry Hansen Taken by Police on
Charge of Giving Liquor to Minors

Harry Hansen Taken by Police on
Charge of Giving Liquor to Minors
Harry Hansen was arrested this
morning by Chief of Police O'Hafe on
charge of giving liquor to William
Lindstrom, minor The hearing of
the case was continued in the munich
pal court and Hansen returned to the
county Jail. 1t is just possible that
there will be some new developments
in the Hansen case as the father of
Hansen has notified the police that
Hansen himself is a minor. All of
the saloon men arrested on charges OF
selling liquor to Lindstrom admitted
that they sold liquor to Hansen who it
was alleged at the time was not a
minor. The father of Hansen says he
is twenty years old.

Old Row Between Legislative and Executive Branches
of Government Crops Up Over the Appointment of
Circular Supervisors Of Academy.

The old row OF the executive depart
ment OF the Government butting into
the business OF the legislative branch
and vice versa. is cropping out thus
early in the Taft administration.
In this particular instance 1t concerns
the board OF visitors to the Military
Academy at West Point.
The law regulating the appointment Of
the board of visitors has Deea quietly
changed and so far as the FIouss IS
concerned IT rests entirely with Chair
man Hull, OF the Committee on Military
Affairs, to say who shall be appointed.
In previous years the President, the
Vice President and the Speaker jointly
selected the members of the committee.
The President is deprived Of that right
in the new law and there is little chance
that prominent educators will find
themselves invited into the Congress
sional ranks. All members Of the Mill
tary Committee desire appointment to
the board because II gives them occa-
sional tunkets at Government expense
