HEARING CONCLUDED TODAY
District Attorney Baker After IAN All
Day Fight in Courts Fears Nimitz
May slip Through Meshes Again-Re-
calls CIaussen case


The Kenosha officials are still wait
ing to secure the custody of John MIN
itz, the Highland, Ind. man wanted III
connection with the alleged thefts at
the plant of the Thomas B. Jeffrey COM
pany and although the fight for the GUS
tody of Nimitz was waged in the cir
crit court in Chicago all day Tuesday.
Nimitz is still out of reach and the
hearing was started again this morning
District Attorney Baker when he left for
Chicago this morning was hopeful that
the hearing would be concluded by
noon today but up to a late hour this
afternoon the officials had not returned
and Nimitz had not been registered at
the county Jail. The plan to have Will
liam NJ. Eyster witness in Chicago
was not carried out and Eyster did not
make any appearance in the Chicago
courts. AT the last minute the District
Attorney decided that his case in the
fight for the custody of Nimitz would
not be benefited by the appearance of
Evster and for this reason no effort was
made to have Eyster appear as a wit
ness, although lie had expressed his
willingness to so into court and tell
all that he knew of the alleged fradu
lent transactions. Every tecnicality of
the law is being invoked to secure the
release of Nimitz on writ of habeas
corpus and should this fight fail it is
certain that his attorneys will have
some grounds for fight against the
extradition Of Eyster on the warrant
charging him with grand larceny Chief
Of Police, O'Hare accompanied the Dis
trict Attorney to Chicago again this
morning and will be in readiness to
take his prisoner just as soon as the
Chicago courts decide that he is to be
turned over to the Wisconsin officials.
When he left for Chicago today the
District Attorney was not at all hope
full Of a successful outcome of the case.
TIL fight for Nimitz is a repetition of
the fight made years ago for the extra
dition of Gustav L. Claussen who had
been arrested in Chicago on charges of
attempting to bride members of the
Common Council of Kenosha in an
effort to secure the passage of street
railway ordinance. 1t will be remem-
bered that Claussen won his fight and
never was brought to Kenosha and the
attorneys for Nimitz are taking prac-
tically the same course in fighting
against his being extradited on the
charge of grand larceny. Tt is certain
that District Attorney Baker will fol-
low up the Nimitz case with vigor and
that the effort to get him to Kenosha
county for trial will not be abandoned
until the last provision of the law has
been exhausted.

The members of Pike Woods camp Of
the Modern Woodmen held the first big
meeting of the autumn season at Castle
Hall on Tuesday evening when class
Of candidates was initiated the new
ritual of the order being used. This
is the first time that the new ritualistic
work had been exemplifed in Kenosha
county and large delegations of mem
bers OF the order came from the various
camps in the county to witness the
work. Delegations were also present
from several of the camps in Racine
county. The new ritual is regarded by
the members of the order as a great inn
provement over the old work and it
promises to make the limitations Of the
camp decidedly popular. Following the
initiation the members of the order en-
ioyed luncheon and informal smoker.
In connection with this meeting the
plans for the organization Of 'FTen
Thousand Club" were discussed and a
letter from Head Consul Talbot was
read, showing the plans for the club.
The plan is to raise 100000 for the
maintenance of the tuberculosis SAM
tarium Of the order at Colorado Springs
and to this end 10000 members Of the
order have been asked to pledge them
selves to pay SO toward the fund The

month for term of ten months and in
return for this payment they will be as
sured the care given at the sanitalium
Should they be forced to seek treat
ment for consumption. The reports Of
the sanitarium showed that it was ac-
comprising great work and notwith-
standing the fact that Kenosha Wood
men recently contributed $3.50 for the
furnishing of a cottage at the Sanitar-
ium, many Of the members have been
enrolled as members of the Ten Thou
sand club and in this manner the
Kenosha camp is expected to double its
contribution to the work.

SEEK TO SOLVE MYSTERY.
Kenosha Police Aid Milwaukee officers
in Seeking identify of Dead Man.

Police of Kenosha have been asked to
aid in solving the mystery surrounding
the death of man whose body was.
found in clump of woods six miles
north of Racine on Sunday morning.
Three bullet wounds were found near
the heart. The presence of a revolver
beside the corpse led to the theory of
death by suicide, but the fact that the
five chambers of the revolver were emp
ty has mystifed the police. The man
had not been dead more than twenty
four hours, in the opinion of the cor
oner.
The man appeared to be about 25
years old. He was dressed in a black
suit and wore a gold watch, gold cuff
buttons and diamond stud. He had
1920 in his pockets.
On his person were also found several
street car tickets of, The Milwaukee
Electric Railway and Light company, a
ticket on the Chicago Milwaukee cleo
trio line from Milwaukee to Kenosha, a
picture postal card of himself signed by
E. j. Coughlin showing the holder had
deposited 25 cents on the purchase of
photographs from Edward Lutzenberger
a photographer at 307 Third street, Mil
waukee.
Lutzenberger said Sunday night that
Coughlin was solicitor for him, but
that his description did not answer to
that Of the dead man.
Another card bore the name of G.
Hackhart, while an envelope, with an
undecipherable name, had the address
"Tomahawk road, Wauwatosa !" Still
another card bore the address Station
G. R. R. l. The picture postal card was
addressed to August Berling, United
hotel, New Haven, Mo.

PLAN PERMANENT GROUNDS
Proposition For the Purchase of Bond
Woods discussed at Annual Meet
ing And Many Favorable to the
Plan.

I The annual meeting of the Kenosha
Play Grounds Association was held on
Tuesday evening at the Offices of Cav
anagh and Barnes and large number
of the members of the Association were
present at the meeting and took part
in the interesting discussions of the
plans for the advancement of the work
during the coming year. The most i'm.
portant business of the meeting was
the election of five members of the
Board of Directors and the following
were chosen: Charles G. Brown, Per
kins G. Torrey, Mrs. a. II. Lance, Mrs
Mary D. Bradford and Mrs. Sophia B
Bachelor. The reports of the officers
of the work done during the past sea
son were not presented at the meeting
and they will be presented at another
meeting to be called just as soon as
the new list of officers have been elect
ed by the Board of Directors.
The most interesting portion of the
meeting on Tuesday evening was the
discussion Of plans for the opening OF
more play grounds. The members OF
the Association are favorable to the Sc
curing of permanent play ground fo1
the children of the city and it was sug-
gested at the meeting that the plans
of the Kenosha Woman S Club to secure
"Bond Woods as a park be taken uE
by the Play Grounds Association and
that an effort be made to secure this
splendid tract of land as a permanent
| play ground for the children of Ken
osha. The piece of land is admirably
situated for the uses and it is large
enough to offer room for one Of the
best play grounds to be found in the
state of Wisconsin. There is about
twenty-five acres in the plat under con
sideration and this would offer chance
for the laying out Of base ball, foot
ball and tennis fields and if thought
necessary a public golf links could be
laid on the field. Most of the leading
cities of the country are now provid.
ing public golf links for the use of the
people and it is certain that Kenosha
should not be behind these cities.
The discussion Of the plan to secure
this land for play ground purposes was
wholly informal and there was no dis
cussion of the ways and means to Sc
cure it. The Woman s Club had sought
the property as a public park and it
was believed that the city council would
join with the club in securing funds
for the purchase. It is thought that
the council would be just as willing to
aid in securing the property for a pub
lie play grounds.
The many objections that are being
made against play grounds in resident
districts of the city have caused the
members of the Association consider
able annoyance and sooner or later it
is certain that the play grounds will
have to be located in the suburban dis
tricts of the city.

Features Of the Days Dealings In All
