Kenosha tuberculosis Com
mittee Fears But One City
in Red Cross Stamp Sale
PUSH SALE FOR This WEEK

The city of Kenosha with a sale of
nearly 100000 Red Cross Christmas
stamps is very close to a prize winner
in the race that is being made in Wis
consin and during the next four days
the members of the local committee
and the children Of the city schools
will put forth every possible effort to
land the prize. Reports from the state
committee show that there is only one
city in Wisconsin which is ahead of
Kenosha and that is Madison The
lead Of the Capitol city is so small that
it will be an easy matter for the Keno
sha committee to land the prize and
for this reason every possible effort
will be made to get out $4,000 stamps
in Kenosha during the remaining days
of the crusade. Kenosha is far in the
lead Of Racine and many other of the
leading cities in the state, but reports
that have been sent in show that Madi-
son has a small lead over Kenosha
Madison has a larger population than
this city but if the Kenosha school
children are to land the prize lot of
work will have to be done during the
remaining days of the crusade. DR..
G.. Windesheim, the head of the COM
mittee is working night and day to
get the stamps moving for the last four
days Of the fight and he is confident
that with a little assistance Kenosha
can win over Madison and have a good
margin to go on. The stamps have
been sent to Kenosha for the final rally
and it is expected that not only the
school children but some Of the older
people Of the city will aid in the final
effort.
IF Kenosha can land the first place
in the state, the city will not only
secure a nucleus for the fund for
building a county sanatorium for in
durable consumptives, but the schools
Of the city will secure the Aero vac
uum system offered to the city selling
the largest number of stamps in pro-
portion to population. From now on
the fight for the sale of the stamps
will be a fight to the finish and if Ke-
nosha is to stand first, the people of the
city must buy literally during these
last few days.

applications, as there will be at least
$4,000 enumerators places to be filled
by the middle of March in prepare
tion for the enumeration beginning
April 18th.
Application forms with full in
structions for filing, and complete in
formation concerning the test and the
method of appointment, can be secured
by writing to D. Elmer Roberts of
Racine, the supervisor Of census for
this district. All applicants, proper
ly filed must be filed with the super
visors not later than January 25th as
any received after that date cannot
be considered.

WIFE LONG MISSING
Ernst Schultz Asks Divorce
From Wife Who Eloped
With Another Man
CHARGES Wife WITH CRIME

An echo of sensational elopement
from Kenosha was heard in the circuit
court today when attorney R. Y. Baker
fled suit for divorce in which Ernst
Schultz is the plaintiff and his wife,
Mrs. Alma Petersen. Schultz, the de-
PENDANT Charges of a most sensa-
tional nature are made in the bill for
divorce which is filed by the husband
and he asserts that his wife has been
missing from Kenosha since April 5th
of this year and that in this time he
has received no word from her. He
alleges that at the present time he
has no knowledge of her whereabouts.
Mrs. Schultz is charged with leaving
Kenosha in company with George Den
man, formerly well known married
man of the West side. At the time the
couple left Kenosha their actions
caused a sensation Mrs. Schultz and
Schultz were married at Sheboygan in
January Of 1908 and at the time of
the marriage the bride was not yet 10
years of age. Their home fife had
seemingly been very pleasant and on
the morning of April 5th of this year
Schultz bade his wife good bye and
went to work. She was busy at the
homework when he left the house and
seemed to be entirely satisfied with
her life. When Schultz returned from
his work his wife was missing. Later
it was discovered that Denman was al
so missing and people were found who
saw the couple leaving Kenosha to-
gether. Mrs. Denman never made any
report of the disappearance of her hus-
band to the police but Schultz at once
asked that an effort be made to locate
the couple. The police found that on
leaving Kenosha the couple went to,
Wheaton, Ill, where they lived togeth-
er as man and wife for several days
and after that they left Wheaton and
went to Davenport, Iowa. Since that
time all trace of them has been lost
and neither Schultz or Mrs. Denman
has made any open effort to locate
them.
Mrs. Schultz was member of one
of the best known families at Russell,
ILL.,, and the father and mother of the
woman have searched far and wide for
her without result.
It is probable that the case will come
up for trial at the March term of the
circuit court and that the evidence in
troduced will be of a sensational order.

LEWIS rs STILL IN RACE

"There is absolutely nothing to it,
I IN still in the race This was the
answer given by Capt. William, Lewis
when interviewed Monday regarding
a seemingly well founded report which
has been circulated to the effect that
the Racine manufacturer is to with
draw from the gubernatorial race.
Chow such report could have been
circulated is beyond my comprehen
sion. Since my return from the
European trip have held no confer
enees with any political advisers and
nothing has been said by me which
could be construed with any such mean
ing Certainly not! I am in the
race to the fnish.''
This settles question which has
been intruding itself upon the minds
of some of the state leaders during
the last few weeks. 1t has been re-
ported that Captain Lewis is to with
draw and this report it is understood
has been given considerable credence
in political circles.

Auto Driven by Peter Rhode,
Jr., Struck by Train on the
G. & NJ. E. Sunday Night
OCCUPANTS NARROWLY ESCAPE

Mrs. Peter Rhode, Mrs. George
Rogers of South Milwaukee, and Peter
Rhode, Jr., had most remarkable es-
cape from death just after five 'elock
Sunday evening when the automobile
in which they were riding was struck
by "a work train on the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric Railway at the
Prairie avenue crossing. The automo-
bile was wrecked but the three people
in the car managed to escape without
any serious injury. The work train
was running at such a high rate of
speed that it simply threw the auto
mobile to the side of the road and the
passengers were not thrown out. Mr.
Rhode stated this morning that the
damage to the automobile would ex-
coed $500.
Mr.. Rhode and the members of the
party had been to the home of Mrs
Fred Cummings just west of the rail
way tracks to spend the day and they
had started home at nightfall. The
automobile was not being run at a
high rate of speed and as Rhode ap-
preached the crossing he looked to the
north and south to see if a car was
coming and seeing nothing he, drove
on to the track. Just as he touched
the track the work train consisting of
two cars dashed into him. A second
before he mad seen the black mass APP
preaching from the south and he made
an effort to turn the automobile and
at the same time put on all the brakes.
The work train struck the front end
of the automobile just as it was reach
ing the tracks and tore great hole
in it. The car was running at such
a rapid rate of speed that it ran 200
yards before the motorman was able
to stop it. Rhode declares that there
were no lights of any nature on the
electric car and that is was impossible
for him to avoid the collision
As soon as the members of the crew
returned carriage was called and Mrs.
Rhode and Mrs. Rogers were sent to
the home of Joseph G. Rhode. For
three hours the men worked to pull
the automobile out of the ditch and it
was found impossible to get it down
town.

Children of the, Poor Gather
Around Christmas Tree at
Salvation Army Hall
SANTA CLAUS BRINGS GIFTS

Monday night was the most interest
ing night of the holiday season for the
poor children of the city, for at that
time more than two hundred Of the
little children of the poor gathered at
the hall of the Salvation Army to at
tend the annual Christmas tree enter
tainment given under the direction of
the members of the corps. It was
great gathering of children. They
came from all parts of the city and
pretty nearly every nationality was
represented. 1t was a great reception
given to the children by the members
of the corps Two big Christmas trees
had been set up in the hall and at the
back was a screen of white which was
completely covered with Christmas
presents. There were dolls for the
girls and horses and other TOYS for the
boys and hundreds of presents had
been gathered together to gladden. the
hearts and homes of the poor children.
There was a present for every one and
in addition to the toys there were or
anges and candy in plenty for all. The
Christmas tree supplemented the distri-
button of, gifts of food and clothing
made by the army on the night before
Christmas and it was the most success
full entertainment of the kind ever Civ
en- by the army corps in Kenosha. In
addition to the distribution of the gifts
there was a pretty entertainment of
music and recitations in which the
children entered with spirit
The annual Christmas tree entertain-
ment of st. Matthews church was also
held on Monday evening and crowd
of several hundred people, young and
old gathered at the Guild hall to take
part in the gayety arranged. There
was real Santa Claus to give out the
gifts and one of the features for the
evening was Punch and Judy show
put on by friend of the children.

Managers of the Northwest
ern Refuse to Advance
Wages of Firemen
MEN PRESENT UNITED FRONT

Locomotive fremen employed on the
Northwestern railroad met with fiat
refusal to their demands for an in
crease in wages on all large engines.
A general committee, headed by S. A.
Boone, representing all the fremen on
the system, held conference with
General Manager R. II. Ashton who
declared that no wage increase would
be considered by the railroad at this
time.
The first demands of the fremen
were for schedule of $3.50 per 100
miles on large freight engines and
1925 on passenger engines. The de-
mands later were modified to $40 for
freight engines. The present rates
paid are $3.50 on freight and 1926 on
passenger engines per 100 miles.
The Northwestern fremen will await
the action of the western federated
board of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen which
has been called to meet in Chicago
December q. The board represents
the firemen on every road running
west, northwest and southwest from
Chicago and has made demands On the
railroads for a general wage advance
of about IS per cent. The demands
cover approximately $4,000 fremen.
In the last general agreement cover
ing the western railroads, the men on
the Northwestern lines were not repre-
sented, but made separate schedule
for themselves. This time they are
willing to act with the men on the
other systems and present united
front to the managers. The demands
which were turned down yesterday
dealt only with special cases which
could not be handled in a general con-
ference. but the refusal Of the road
to meet them was taken as an indica-
ton of what is to be expected when
the general negotiations begin.

LIBERAL TO EMPLOYEES
Fred Hannahs of the Kenosha Crib Co
Follows Usual Custom

Fred Hannahs, president of the Ke-
nosha Crib Company was decidedly
liberal with his workmen this year
and the-distribution of gifts followed
a custom established at the plant of
the Kenosha Crib Company several
years ago. The gifts were all cash
gifts and each employee received
money at the rate of one dollar for
every year he had been employed in
the plant. Some of the men have
been in the plant for over eleven years
and to these men the gifts were de
cidedly large. The amount of the
gifts was more than $4o0.

BY THE BACHELOR GIRL.

Divorce is the @. E. D. at the END of
the matrimonial problem.
Marriage is voyage Of discovery
that starts for the sunny lands and
ends at the north pole.
Marriage is something like sailing
an airship; 1t looks so easy and fas-
cinating until you try it.
It's something of a shock to a girl
to marry a collier" and afterward
find that she has tied herself to a
ja1ler.
Many woman clings to disagree
able husband merely because he has
become a confirmed habit that she
can't shake off.
The thought that husbands and
wives shall meet in heaven is prob
ably what drives so many men to take
the downward path.
1t is difficult to decide which is
worse: spending your days waiting for
q husband before marriage, or spend
ing your nights waiting for one after
marriage.
Love is that stage of paranoia in
which man can't eat, becomes tnco-
herent in speech, has a sinking sensa-
ton in the pit Of his heart and is gem
orally given up by his frien&c.
After all, matrimony has it's advan4
tages; only married man can f1irt
with that perfect abandon that comes
from the consciousness that aGeaihg
worse can happen TO him.-Helen
Rowland in New York Herald.

TO UNITE ALL INSURANCE men
Agents May Aid the City in an Effort
to Collect Tax From Mutual Com
panies Handling Big Factory Risks
in Kenosha.

At the annual meeting of the Ke-
nosha Fire Insurance Board held on
Monday evening plans for a closer
union among the insurance men of
the city were discussed and it is
planned in the near future to give a
banquet at which plans for many in
novations in connection with the bust
ness will be discussed.
The Kenosha board is proving most
successful institution and it has done
much to bring the insurance men to-
gether and to secure better rates for
risks in Kenosha. There are many
problems which the insurance men are
to take up and dispose of, one of them
being the plan to aid the fire depart
ment of the city by the purchase of
fire fighting apparatus which is par
ticularly needed to cut down the losses
of the companies on household fixtures.
The treasurer of the volunteer fire
department is now collecting the fees
due to the department as the percent
age Of the insurance premiums and
the amount this year will be larger
than in any previous year. Under
the state law which became operative
a year ago one half of this amount
will be paid to the treasurer of the
fremen IS pension fund while the other
half will go to the volunteer depart
ment. The old plan for the retire
ment of the volunteers is being dis
cussed at this time but there is little
or no reason to believe that it will be
carried out. The members of the
volunteer department seem to be desir-
Gus of keeping the old organization
intact and the agents representing the
different companies in Kenosha are
taking no part in the fight The per-
centage of the premiums must be paid
by these companies and they have no
right or desire to dictate as to the
final destination of the money so col
lected.
The agents are urging, however, that
some effort be made to collect the same
percentage from the Mutual Compan-
les who write large lines of insurance
in Kenosha and it is probable that
this matter will be taken up by the
officials of the fire department and if
the money can not be collected from
the insurance companies an effort will
be made to have it paid in by the
factories themselves. In other years
the factories have paid small amounts
into the treasury of the department,
but the amounts so contributed have
not been sufficient to cover the amount
that the percentage of the premiums
if paid would bring to the department..
It is expected that some plan for
the collection of this percentage of
these premiums will be discussed at
the insurance men s banquet. A com
mittee is in charge of the banquet
plan and it is probable that the gath
ering will take place about the first
of February.
The officers of the local board as
named at the meeting last night are
as follows:
President-Charles A. Tarbell.
Vice President-Arthur Fl. French.
Secy. and Treas.-James r. Tullv.
