Of Considerable Importance for Next
Sunday Night at the Rhode

Theatregoers of Kenosha that are in
terested in drama should be pleased to
know that the engagement of Thomas
b. Shea for Sunday night, March 28th,
will undoubtedly prove to be the dra-
matte event Of the season. Mr.. Shea
comes highly recommended as an actor
of unusual versatile ability. Messrs.
Cohan and Harris, the managers of this
well known dramatic star are directing
the tour, and have decided to place
this excellent actor in an American
drama of the very strongest type at
popular prices. Mr.. Shea comes to the
middle west practically unknown on
the one night stands, but in the far
east the New England States he has
traversed and played for the past
fifteen years, and has won praiseworthy
criticisms from both the press and pub
lie as being an actor Of tried and ac-
eepted ability. The different heroic
roles in which he has appeared during
his stage career are Richelieu,' DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" "Mathias, -
i" Napoleon, "Othello. - "Mephisto-
heles,' and "Ajax' of 9'The Soldier
of the Cross

SNEAK THIEVES CAUGHT
Young Men Caught in Act of Plumber
ing Robinson Store Sunday

Three young men belonging to well
known west side families were caught
In the act of stealing from the count
ers of the Robinson book store Sun
day morning and forced to disgorge
! their plumber. For some time the
proprietor of the store has been miss
; ing small articles from the counters,
such as post cards, periodicals and in
fact any small articles that could be
easily picked up and concealed and a
trap was set into which the thieves
fell Sunday morning. The young men,
none of whom is over twenty were
caught with the goods on them and
there was no chance for them to make
any defense. In consideration of the
fact that this was evidently a first
offense Mr.. Robinson refused to prose
cute them and they were released after
being given a scare that will keep them
straight for some time. Many of the
merchants of the city are continually
complaining of the depredations Of this
class Of sneak thieves, but as the mer-
chants almost invariably refuse to
prosecute when they catch any of them
the police are powerless to interfere
and the thefts will probably continue
until the merchants are finally forced
to change their system of dealing with
this class of offenders.

High Tribute Paid to Officials of Com
pany Which is to Remove Here

Racine papers of Monday night give
a great deal Of space to the fact that
the Racine Refrigerator Company of
that city has decided to locate in Ke-
nosha and all the papers look upon the
removal of the plant as hard blow to
the city of Racine. It is stated in
these papers that at least hundred
families will follow the company to
Kenosha and these people are now MAX
ing arrangements to find homes in this
city. It is of interest that Peter B.
Nelson, the well known attorney and
former mayor of the city Of Racine,
will transfer his residence to Kenosha.
Former Mayor Nelson is the president
of the company and he stated on Sat
urday evening that his duties would de-
mand that he make Kenosha his home.
The city Of Kenosha and it's people will
be most glad to welcome President Mel
son and his employees as citizens of Ke-

ALONE IN THE BOARD
Mayor Refuses to Discuss
the Action of the Members
Further Development.

Matt Weirup today rendered his res

The resignation of Charles X. Seaman
has already been sent to the mayor, as
was told in the EVENING NEWS yes

the board Mr.. Weirup, like Mr.Seaman,
refused to discuss the matter except to
say that he was always ready to do his
that he was always ready to do his
part. He intimated that more might be
heard later.
The mayor refuses to discuss the
designations and says he had not decid-
ed who to name in place of those who
have stepped out.
In view Of the fact that the old board
has been criticised somewhat for it's
inactivity and as two of the members
have now resigned there is some in
terest to know what Mr.. Rossi will do.
1t is realized that if shade tree COM
mission is to accomplished anything at
all now is the time for it to be busy.
1t is possible that there may be further
developments in the next few days.

of Houses Where Thefts
Occurred Recently.
POLICE ON THE LOOKOUT

Although the sneak thief who has
been at work in this city for the past
week is still at large the police have a
clue which may lead to the arrest of the
guilty person, who is believed to be a
boy
At 6:25 O'Clock last night Mrs M.
+. Kemble, Of 1887 Market street,
whose fat was robbed last Monday af-
Eernoon, telephoned to the police sta
iion that there had been a young man
In the vicinity all the afternoon who
was acting suspiciously. Patrolman An
hrew Jensen was detailed by Sergeant
McDermott to investigate but, when he
IaEeached the house, the youth had dis
appeared.
Mrs. Kamble said that the follow
was about sixteen years old, of medium
height, had very red face and wore a
brown suit of clothes and small cap.
As Mrs. Kemble s and Mrs. Gordon A.
Baldwin IS apartments at Market and
First streets were robbed in the same
manner by a sneak thief this week
there was good reason to believe that
the youth who hung around the two
apartment houses yesterday afternoon,
might be watching for another oppor-
tunity, An effort is being made to To-
cate the suspect.

afternoon of aiding and abetting the
kidnapping of Billy Whitla from the
school at Sharon, Pa. The jury In
the case retired shortly before noon
and took one ballot and reached a
verdict, which was delivered as soon
as court reconvened after dinner.
While waiting for the verdict Mrs.
Boyle declared that she would COM
NIT suicide before she would go to
the penitentiary.
The woman was very angry and de-
clared that she and her husband had
not been justly treated 1--WE have not
been permitted to tell the whole sto-
ry" she cried. Everything ought to
be heard and thrashed out"
No Witnesses For Defense.
In striking contradiction to this plea
was the fact that she declined to 90

Miller, produced no witnesses I'm her
defense.
In his address to the jury Mr.. Miller

MOTHERS DAY
IN THIS CITY
A White Carnati0E should
Be Worn by Everybody
Here Tomorrow.
GRAND ARMY ORDER

Tomorrow is Mothers Day and In
this city> and every city, town and
hamlet in the United States mothers
who are living and mothers who
have passed into the Great Beyond
will be honored. The movement
was inaugurated last year by Miss
Anna Jarvis, Of Philadelphia, and
the second Sunday In May has been
set aside as day on which to pay
tribute to motherhood.
If you have a mother living do
something to please her tomorrow
Give her bouquet Of flowers, pres
ent Of some kind, make her feel
happy, as you do not know what
moment you will be deprived of the
privilege.
Remember what you owe to your
mother; think of the sacrifices she
made for you; think of how she loves
you and all that she gave up for you.
No one ever made the sacrifices your
mother did and If you have the pro-
per spirit you will wear white car
nation tomorrow, as that has been
chosen as the symbol to be worn in
the memory of mother. This Is the
second Mothers Day and it would be
pretty sight If everyone in the
nation would wear a carnation to-
morrow, at any rate let everyone in
Perth Amboy wear one and show
that we have regard for filial wor-
ship.
Major Dandy Post, G. A. r., has
received the following letter:
Through the instrumentality Of
Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia.
Pa, last year the second Sunday in
May was observed or set apart as
Mothers Day and services were held
in many churches and between five
and six millions of persons through
out the United States celebrated the
festival. On the second Sunday in
May this year the day will be OBJ
served universally throughout the
land and will be universal fete day
for filial worship The white carna-
tion has been selected to be worn in
memory of Mother. Comrades, there
is no class of men living whose
mothers were as patriotic, loyal and
heroic as your mothers from 81 to
'65. No mothers ever made such
sacrifices as your mothers did, and
the commander-in-chief requests you
on the second Sunday in May to wear
in the lapel of your coat a white
carnation. or other white flowers to
honor the memory of your own
mother, II deceased. and in rever-
ence for her If living.
by order Of Henry M. Nevius,
Commander-in-Chief, @. A. r. ON
cial: Frank o. Cole, Adjutant Gem
eral."
