manded at any future time.
The idea of opening a club house for
Socialists has long been considered by
the members of the Social Democratic
party in Kenosha For ten years the
club has been holding regular meetings
and in that time it has taken into its
membership many of the advocates of
socialism in Kenosh.l and the surround
ing territory. The Kenosha organi-
cation of the party is regarded as one
of the strongest in the state and it is
among the first to seek to bring about
a closer union of the members by offer
ing them the privileges of club house.
A meeting is to be held on Monday
evening at which time the plans for
the improvement of the building will
be talked over and after that meeting
more definite plans will be made public

Social Democratic Club TO Use
University School as Club
House in Near Future
LEADS OTHER CLUBS OF STATE
Property is Purchased on Friday and
Will be Improved as Soon as the
Present Lease Expires-To
Make Many Changes

The Social Democrats of Kenosha
are to take a step far in advance of
that of other political organizations in
Kenosha as the members of the Social
Democratic Club are planning to cen
vert the old University School build
ing at the corner of Prairie avenue and
Ashland avenue into club room which
will serve not only as a place for the
holding of the meetings of the club,
but as well as club home for the
Social Democrats of Kenosha and the
surrounding territory.
The property in question was pur-
chased on Friday by F. w. Nohling of
the Kenosha Mercantile Company, but
it is admitted that the purchase was
made for the Social Democrats Of the
city. The officials Of the party are as
yet not ready to announce their plans
and they will not be able to occupy
the building until the lease held by the
present occupant expires in October,
but the general plan of the club house
has been made public.
The building, which is one of the
most substantially built buildings in
the city, will be entirely overhauled
The lower floor will be converted into
a club house and in this part Of the
building will be installed reception
rooms, library, card rooms, and posi-
bly, a. billiard room The entire upper
part Of the building which is now used
as lodging house will be converted
into hall. This will give the club a
hall with seating capacity of from
$50 to 200 people. This hall is design
ed to be used not only for the meetings
of the club, but for public gatherings
for the discussion Of political ques-
lions. 1t is understood that the money
for the improvements at the club house
has been pretty well provided for al
ready and that sufficient money will be
raised to make the club house one of
the most charming for convenience and
for arrangement in Kenosha. While
the building is little small for this
purpose it is thought to be large
enough to accommodate the member
ship for the present time and there is

SOCIALISTS FAVOR RESOLUTION
Want Convention Called for Purpose of
Remodeling Constitution of State

The leaders Of the Social Democratic
party of Wisconsin are planning a cam
paign for the calling Of constitutional
convention to be called for the purpose
Of remodeling the constitution Of the
state There is now resolution be-
fore the legislature asking that con
stitutional convention be called, but
there is much opposition to it and the
general belief is that the resolution
will be defeated. II
Two years ago resolution for the
remodeling of the constitution was
passed in the assembly, but was de-
feated in the senate.
The Socialists believe that this is
one Of the most important measures
before the legislature, as they think
the time has certainly come when the
constitution of the state should be
remodeled
Should the constitutional convention
be called the Social Democrats will
ask great number of changes in the
constitution, which would enable the
legislature to legislate along broader
lines for the people.
The Social Democrats feel that if a
constitutional convention is called it
will enable a great many amendments
to be Incorporated in the constitution
which cannot now be secured because
of the difficult machinery of passing
constitutional amendment resolutions
by two legislatures and then securing
their submission to the people.

KEPT SECRET SIX MONTHS
MIR. and Mrs. George nj. Becker An
nounce their Marriage at Waukegan

Announcement was made Wednesday
evening of the marriage of George M.
Becker, the we'll known newspaper
dealer and Miss Matilda Kitzrow, a
well known young woman of the city,
and although the marriage occurred
nearly six months ago the happy cou-
pie are today receiving the congratu-
lations of their friends and relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Becker were married by
Father Schultz at St. Mary's Catholic
church in Waukegan on the afternoon
of Christmas Day and while several
times since then their friends have
suspected that the marriage ceremony
had taken place the two had studious-
ly denied it and no one had been able
to find out the facts in connection with
the little romance Mr. Becker and
his bride had been sweethearts for
many months and on Christmas Day
they quietly slipped away to Wauke-
gan and were married. They return
ed to Kenosha before the festivities
Of the Christmas dinner were over and
Mrs. Becker went to the home of her
aunt on Caledonia street where she con
tinued to make her home. Mr.. Beck
er continued to reside at the home of
his mother. The two were often to-
gether, but they insisted that they
were not married. Mrs. Becker con
tinued at work at the Chicago -Kenosha
Hosiery Works until the first of the
present month when she resigned her
position. Mr.. and Mrs. Becker are
now at home to their friends at 274
Maiden Lane and they will have the
hearty though tardy congratulations of
many friends.

GET SHILOH PARK
Englishman Who Worked With
Dowie ForecIoses Mortgage on
Pleasure Grounds in Zion
WILL TURN 1T INTO LOTS

Charles III. Donnelly, judge of the
Circuit Court Of Lake county, has en-
tered decree empowering Samuel
Stevenson to sell land in Zion City,
commonly known as Shiloh Park, to
satisfy a mortgage which he now.
holds against the city which was
granted by the late John Alexander
Dowie as part payment of Judgment
granted the former in Judge futile IS
Court some three or four years ago.
The original judgment amounted to
something like one hundred and seven
ty-fve thousand dollars. DR.. Dowie
paid the larger part of the mortgage
and gave Stevenson twenty-five thous-
and dollar mortgage on land which he
had designated as Shiloh Park.
At the time of Dowie S death Samuel
Stevenson was unable to collect the
mortgage. He filed suit against John
A. Lewis, executric ct al, in the Cir
cult Court for the foreclosure of the
mortgage.
Lewis and land owners in. the vicini-
lty of the park fled objections claim
ing that the land had been designed as
a public park and that Dowie had no
right to vacate and mortgage the
property. Zion City residents claim
they hold conveyances on the land adj
joining the land designated as a pub
lie park and that they would not have
purchased the land had they known
that the land would have been later
sold to pay mortgage. Stevenson
answers this objection by asserting that
the many residents Of Zion City who
own land in this vicinity do not hold
conveyances or deeds on the land but
merely hold nine-hundred and ninety
nine year lease.
Following the entering of the de-
cree for the sale of the land to pay the
mortgage held by Stevenson attorneys
representing Lewis filed a prayer for
an appeal to the Supreme Court. The
prayer was granted and a bond of
fifteen hundred dollars required by the
Icourt.
The defendants are given sixty
days to file certificates Of evidence.
ELAN L. Clarke, master in chancery.
reported in favor Of the sale and it is
probable on this and other evidence
That Judge Donnelly based his actions.
Zion City residents, who own land in
the vicinity of Shiloh Park were great
ly angered when they learned that the
decree had been entered, but they have
not given up hope as they believe that
the Supreme Court will not permit the
sale of the land to pay the mortgage.
Shiloh Park is one of the most beautiful
pieces Of land in Zion City. The park
was originally the camping ground Of
the Dowieites on their first invasion in
to the White Dove City The park
was fenced off and has earned the name
of Shiloh Park ever since that time.
DR.. Dowie himself named the park
"Shiloh Park. y
