PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE
SHORT Of DICTIONARIES
No Funds Available to Buy
Them and Other Needed
Reference Books.

Public schools in the District have not
enough money available to meet their
present needs, say several of the head
school officials.
The lack of money was brought anew
to the attention Of the officials yesterday
when there was demand made for
thirty-three dictionaries. 1t was found
that there were but five dictionaries avail
able to meet the demand for thirty
three.
The cause of this, the ofiicials explain,
Is that Congress allows only 1000 each
year with which to purchase general
reference books, including dictionaries,
Bibles, current literature and books for
the eleven libraries in the High and Nor
NAL schools and the teachers libraries.
1t is said that the appropriation does not
begin to cover the needs of the schools
in this direction, and that the schools
are constantly hampered by the lack of
general reference books All books for
general reference have to be paid for out
of this fund Of 81 900 with the exception
Of q few books which are of a strictly
training schools.
1t Is desired by the school officials to
have every classroom equipped with q die
tionary for the use Of the pupils, but that,

Manual Training Laboratory Needs.
Another fund which is insufficient to
properly carry on the work for which it
is intended is the appropriation for man.
ua1 training. A fund of $4,000 must
cover all the laboratory equipment used
in the two manual training schools, all the
material used in the course Of these
schools and the cost of equipment for the
manual training in the graded schools, in
Guiding all branches Of this work.
Another school need which officials say
is urgent is new buildings for the East
ern and Western High Schools. Both of
the buildings now in use, it is pointed out,
are old. poorly equipped and wholly in
adequate for the needs of the pupils Cam
paigns are in progress under the auspices
Of the alumni of both these schools for
new buildings. and the members say that
they will leave no stone unturned until
Congress decides to make the desired ap-
preparation.
In the matter Of furniture, it is pointed
out, the schools also feel the lack of
money.

Do NOT THROW STONES,
WHEN CALLED AN APE
Judge De Lacy Rules in Case
of Boys Who Resented Girls
Use of Epithet.

When a lady calls a gentleman an
APE" the gentleman must run away
from her and shun her as II he were try
ing to escape an epidemic, according to
an edict laid down in the Juvenile Court
yesterday. afternoon by Judge DeLacy.
The maMSned gentleman must not resort
to throwing stones or threatening to
knock every one Of the lady's teeth out
II she daers open her mouth, otherwise
he may suffer the same fate that befell
three boys who were ad1udged guilty OF
throwing stones at Pauline Taylor q few
days ago.
William Simms, Ray Sullivan and AL
bert jackson were playing in the mouth
Of an alley in the northeast section
shortly after school let out one day last
week, when along came Pauline, switch
ing her skirts and looking very prim.
Called Her "Smarty Cat"
One Of the boys called her . "smarty
cat" and Pauline turned around and said
You're an ape, 50 therei''
Whereupon. according to Pauline, the
three boys began throwing stones at her.
One Of the stones hit her an ugly clip on
the head. She began to bawl. One of the
boys told her to shut up or he'd knock
every tOOtn from ner mouth, SO she says.
Judge DeLacy heard the story, crowded
with dire facts and strenuous denials and
then sentenced the boys to pay a dollar q
week to the court for five weeks. And
what seemed to bother the boys more
than anything else was the sentence to
beg Paulines pardon.
And remember, boys" he said in clos
ing, never throw stones at q girl again
II she calls you an ape, you run away,
rather than fight. You might fight a
man. but never fight q lady-not even if
she calls you q monkey"
Not Good at Counting.
Throwing stones brought George Bell. q
small colored boy, to court In q case In
which the court gave the boy the benefit
Of the doubt. A large policeman, who
spoke OF bringing the small boy in as a
capture said that George had COM
pletely demolished . ''for rent sign by
throwing stones At 1t.
Georges father and mother were on
hand.
How many children have your" asked
the judge.
Eight" promptly replied the father
What you talkin' about, man? He
got thu'teen chillun.' spoke up the
mother.
II amt good at countin'," was the
fathers explanation.
Because the policeman had no witnesses
Judge DeLacy dismissed the case.

CHANCE FOR JUDGE RANDALL
Atty. General Holds County Board May
Raise Salary of Municipal Judge

That the county board of any county
wherein is created county municipal
court where the judge is chosen by all
the electors of the county and where
there is no special provision to the
contrary in the law creating the court,
may increase the salary of the NUM-
cipal judge during his term of Office,
is held by Attorney General Gilbert
in an opinion rendered today in the
case of District Attorney John j.
Healy of Manitowoc county.
The situation is interesting in that
the instance does not come within
either the constitutional or statutory
provisions forbidding the increase of
the salary of a public officer during
his incumbency.
Attorney General Gilbert points out
that the constitutional provision which
declares that the compensation of any
public officer shall be increased or
diminished during his term of office
applies only to those officials who re-
ceive a. fixed salary from the public
treasury Of the state.

LIKE WEATHER REPORTS
Are Willing to Finance Small Lo-
cal Stations

Government weather reports are ap-
preciated by TIRE farmers and in the
rural districts OF Wisconsin. This is
becoming more and more apparent
every day, and if a person were to
gain access to the correspondence re-
ceived in the Office of Maj H. B. Her
sey, head of the government weather
department at Milwaukee, he would
readily understand the interest taken.
Lately there have been innumerable
letters acknowledgements as to the ad-
visibility of establishing local stations
in the towns and small cities of the
state. The farmers want the reports.
They have attained such good results
from those sent out by the general
office that they are willing to finance
small local stations, where purely To-
cal conditions can be studied and facts
secured as early as possible.

WILL MAKE NO PROTEST.
Kenosha Gas and Electric Co. Will
Make No Objection to Street Lights

The henosha Gas and Electric Com
pany will make no objection to the
installation of street lights by the
Kenosha Electric Railway Company
under the recent order of the Circuit
Court which provided that the Rail
way Company could make no extens-
ions IN any of their lines of business.
The Kenosha Gas and Electric Com
pany representatives declare that they
do not propose to stipulate anything
in the case but that it is not Their de-
sire to interfere in any way with any
plans for the proper lighting of the
city and so far as the plaintiff com
pany is concerned nothing will be
done to embarass the council or the
people in any way. It is expected
that the court will give the defendant
company chance to get in the lights
which have been ordered by the city
council.

Detectives of Northwestern
Railway Company Threat
EN- to Make Arrests
AFTER TRAIN GANGS GAME

Complaints have been lodged with
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
road, it is alleged that poker playing
for money is becoming noticeably
more popular on trains plying between
Chicago and cities along the north
shore, including Kenosha. 1t is said
that detectives will be placed aboard
the trains and that arrests will be
made wherever violations are discover
ed.
At one time poker playing was
rather common on the railroads about
here, but the stern fight which was
waged against the game caused it to
be abandoned for a long time. Whist
was substituted. Now it is said that
the game is once more leaping back
into popularity.
Direct charges have been made that
Kenosha men going to Chicago have
engaged in these games and have lost
considerable sums of money at vari-
Gus times. While the matter has not
been reported here it is said that the
Chicago police intend to make an in
vestigation into the charges.
One of the things which make it
rather hard to detect those who engage
in the game is the method of play.
Five cards are dealt out in the usual
manner, each man having contributed
a certain sum for the 'EJack Pot. -
The first man that can open the pot
announces the fact and lays his hand
face up on the board The other men
do likewise and draw as many cards
as are needed to make up their hands
Thus after the draw the hands are all
exposed and no further betting is al
lowed.
Naturally the man with the highest,
hand wins the pot. The fact that 10
betting is done makes it difficult for
an outsider to swear that the game
really is poker. The game is not
straight draw poker but is partially
Stud" poker.

Government Has Automatic
Device for Delivery of Mail
Pouches From Trains
NO MORE BOOTINGs OF BAGS

No more "bootings" for the long
abused mail bag
After more than quarter of a
century of. experimenting the postof-
flee department has adopted an auto
matte device for the delivery of mail
pouches from rapidly moving trains.
Within short time notices will be
served upon all of the roads transport
ing mails that from a certain date thew
Nhey will be required either to stop their
trains when delivering pouches or to
install the automatic device designed
and manufactured by f. III. Burr of
Atlantic, Iowa.
The Burr device won over nearly one
hundred other devices recently tested
on the Rock Island road. It's record
of performance through an entire year
of service is said to have been per-
feet. More than 1000 deliveries were
made at speed up to seventy miles
an hour. During the heavy Christ
mas mails as much as 500 pounds of
mail in twelve sacks was dispatched
from the car successfully while the
train was going sixty miles an hour.
The receiving box into which the
pouchers are automatically thrown is
from forty to eighty feet long, accord
ing to conditions. The end doors
swing outward and are hung at the
top. At either end of the box is a
post with an inclined rod which aids
as an automatic trip to trigger ex-
tending from the postal car. The trig-
ger releases compressed air from the
air brake system and operates the de-
vice upon which the mail pouches
are placed in the door of the car. In
this manner the automatic DISCHARGE
of the pouches from the door ALWAYS
is made in identically the same spot.

NO FIGHT ON PETITION
City Attorney Satisfied That No-License
Petition is Legally Signed

Liquor interests in Kenosha will
make no fight to prevent the question
Of license or no license being submitted
to the people at the spring election and
the formal notice of the special election
will be sent out by City Clerk Harring-
ton on Friday The law provides that
the notice must be posted at least ten
days before election. City attorney
Slater in speaking of the matter this
morning stated that he. was satisfied
that the petition had sufficient num-
Der of legal signers. The petition has
been examined by many people and this
view of the attorney is the one to be
followed by the city clerk in making
his decision to issue notice of the cleo
ton. Now that the list of the drys
has been given out it will be inter
esting for the Liberty League to file
list of the members of that organi-
cation.

Elizabeth street evidently is deter
mined to be thorn in the flesh of
the street railway company and it is not
improbable that the new suit started
by the property owners on that street
may be one that will seriously effect
the service of the company in the en-,
tire city. Elizabeth street property
owners seem to be shy of self sacrifice
when it comes to bearing a little an
noyance for the best interests of the
whole city.

YOUNG men ARE BEHIND MARX.
House to House Canvasses Being Made
in the Wards of the City and Or
ganization of Party Leaders Will be
Effected.

Candidates Of the Republican party
at the coming city election are not go
ing to allow any grass to grow under
their feeG and already the work of
organizing the party has been started
and the candidates feel convinced that
they are going to give the people some
surprises on election day. The fierce
fight of the Democracy at the pri-
maries is. not being lost sight of and
the candidates have been given assur-
ance that they will have the support
of lot Of people in the city who are
independent of party and who are con-
WINGED that the time has come to call
halt in the present administration of
the affairs of the city.
In order to get the work of organi-
zation better completed the candidates
plan to call a meeting Of the leaders
of the party and have them aid in
the work of the campaign. The fact
that the present city committee is dis
organized and Of little value in the
campaign is not disconcerting the men
named as candidates and they plan to
get cut and have committee Of their
own to aid them in the strenuous work
of the campaign. Frank A. Marx,
the candidate for mayor has already
started his personal campaign and he
is determined that every voter in the
city shall know just what he stands
for.
A great mass of the younger Repub-
leans of the city have taken up the
campaign with vigor and in some sec
tions of the city house to house cam
paign is being made in behalf of the
Republican candidate. The campaign
is not going to be a spectacular one
and the Republican candidates have
declared that they will seek no money
for a "slush" fund, but that they
will ask for the party to put up money
enough to bear the actual expenses of
the campaign and an effort will be
made to have men at every polling
place to act as challengers and men
to see to it that the Republican vote
is brought out.
Flushed with victory at the primary
Mayor Scholey has declared that he
is not to spend a cent in the campaign
and that he is going to leave his cause
in the hands, of the people. If the
mayor carries out this announced de-
termination there Will be lot of dis
appointed people in the city, but it is
probable that he will see the inroads
being made on his preserves by the
Republicans and get to work before
the campaign is very much older.
1t looks as if there is chance for
history to repeat itself in Kenosha and
this may be the time when the people
Of the city will tire of Democratic rnle
and turn in force to the Republicans
for relief.
1t is certain that the cause of the
Republicans will be injured in a meas
ure by the loss of party candidates
In some of the wards, but the candi
dates on the city ticket are planning
to put extra work in these wards with
view of getting out the entire Re
publican vote,
