Residence of Mrs. Mary Burke
ON Congress St., Entered
on Friday Evening
MAN MAKES GOOD HIS ESCAPE

The residence of Mrs. Mary Burke,
500 Congress treet, was visited by
burglars early Friday evening and the
malefactors managed to get away
with small amount Of booty. Re
port Of the burglary was made to the
police Office just after nine o'clock
Friday evening, but as yet no arrests
have been made in the case. Several
suspects are being watched and it is
expected that an arrest will be made
within the next few days.
There was no one in the house at the
time of the burglary. Members of
the household had gone out to attend
an evening church service and when
Mrs. Burke returned home just after
eight CLOCK she heard some one NOV
ing about in the back portion of the
house. She hurried to the home Of a
neighbor and called the police, but the
burglar had evidently heard the noise
caused by Mrs. Burke entering the
house and he left hurriedIy through
the rear door of the house. The burg
lar had made his entrance to the house
by cutting away a screen which had
guarded one of the cellar windows at
the rear Of the house and it is evident
that he had been in the house but a
short time when his presence was dis
covered. The only articles missing
were taken from the larder of the
house and it is not thought that the
man had time to get into the front
part of the house before he presence
was discovered.
The police were of the opinion that
the burglar band had left Kenosha,
but this petty work seems to indicate
that the members of the gang are at
work again.

ENFORCES NEW LAW
BOroysky Arrested on Charge
of Buying Junk from Boys
Pays 500 and Costs
MUST RESTORE The PROPERTY

The new law in regard to junk deal
ers purchasing property from small
boys was enforced for the first time
in Kenosha county in the municipal
court on Friday afternoon when Harry
Borovsky, one of the best known junk
dealers of the city was brought before
the court charged with buying a brass
tap which had been stolen from the
plant of the Kenosha Water Company
by four boys of very tender age. He
pleaded guilty to this charge and ad-
mitted that the boys had no permit
from any of their parents to sell the
property Judge Randall fined Borov-
sky twenty dollars and the costs Of
the action which was paid. Borov-
sky further at the order of the
court agreed to restore the property
which had been stolen and it is claim
ed that this will cost him $50 more
so that the total penalty in the case
will be in the neighborhood of $75.
Borovsky could have be arraigned
under the old law on a charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods but the officials
believe that the enforcement of the
new law will aid materially in putting
an end to junk dealers buying stolen
property from children. The four
boys were brought into court again this
morning and pafoled pending their good
behavior, They are all under six
teen years Of age and they were given
a good lecture by the court. Should
they be picked up under a similar
charge again it is probable that the
court would not be so lenient with
them.

TAKE PRIDE IN WORK STICK BY LEAGUE
kenoSha Included in Circuit
of the Lake Shore League
Re-organized on Sunday
CUT SALARIES OF PLAYERS

The Lake Shore League was re-
organized and placed on a sounder and
more substantial basis at a meeting of
the league held at the Republican
house in Milwaukee Sunday afternoon.
The experience of former years taught
the owners of clubs that a league of
this kind playing only one or two
games a week can not exist on major
league salaries and large guarantees.
There has always been an abundance
of young players in all of the cities
In the circuit, but managers have not
given them chance to display their
ability with the idea that it takes old
players to win pennants. In looking
over material in the various cities of
the circuit it was found that by giving
the home players a chance strong teams
could be organized in every one of
them without deteriorating the class of
ball that has been put up by this
league In former years.
1t was decided that each team be
limited to two outside players and the
balance of the team be composed of
home material. Seven teams were
represented at the meeting as follows:
Kenosha, Peter Breen; Two Rivers,
August Gloe; Manitowoc, Edward j.
Hoffman, Sheboygan, P. N. Van Han
die; Port Washington, John Kaiser, Jr,,
and I. J. Christiasen of Milwaukee
representing two teams of the Greater
Milwaukee league.
William T. Steinel of Milwaukee was
elected president of the organization !;
2. N. Van Handle of Sheboygan, vice
president, and John Kaiser, Jr., of
Port Washington, secretary and treas
urer.
There is still a vacancy in the cir
cult, and several cities have applied
for franchises. A committee was ap-
pointed to look them over and report
at the next meeting, which will be held
in the city on March 80.

Do farmers eat the proper
sort Of food {?

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten wears ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
tie should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten bv
themselves, their children and the
farm hands.
The regular size 10c package is not
as convenient for the farmer as the
large size family package at 25c. s.

BIG SUIT is SETTLED is NAN OF MYSTERY
Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway Pays $500
for Killing Jay Coder
PLAINTIFF DEMANDED $4,000

The suit of Mrs. Emma Coder, widow
Of the late Jay Coder, formerly of Ke-
nosha, who was fatally injured while
working as switchman in the yards
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Company in Milwaukee on the night
of August goth of last year, has been
settled out Of court and the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Company has
paid to Mrs. Coder $4,000 in full set
Element of all claims she may have
against the company. The suit was
brought against the road named and
against the Big Four Railway Company
and the amount of damages demanded
in the complaint was $4,000. No form
al release of the suit has been filed in
the circuit court here and the case is
still on the calendar for trial at the
March term of the circuit court, but
with the announcement that the set
Element has been made it is expected
that a-release will be filed with the
clerk of the court here before the term
opens week from next Monday. Mrs.
Coder has been living in Milwaukee
since the death of her husband, but the
action was brought in the circuit court
of Kenosha county as this county is
regarded as the home of the plaintiff.
The suit offered an unusual question
as the plaintiff named also the Big
Four Company as defendant on ac-
count Of the fact that the car from
which Coder fell was alleged to have
belonged to this company and it was
alleged that a defect in the car was
the cause Of the injury. The Big
-Four Railway Company had no part
in the settlement of the action but it
is thought possible that the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Company may
institute a new action demanding that
a part of the damages be paid by this
company. This will furnish some
very interesting litigation as such a
demand is without precedent in the
courts of Wisconsin,

The new industrial association gives
every indication of being a real live
organization of the business men with
all petty jealousy and sectional feel
ing barred-just such an organization
as this city has needed for years. The
lack of live, active, pushing business
men s ssociation in Kenosha has been
one Of the things that every investor
who ever investigated conditions in this
city has never been able to understand
and the lack of cooperation among
the business men of the city has re-
suited in industries and trade which
properly belonged here being diverted
to other cities. 1t looks as if the
new organization is going to ell long
felt want not only in advertising the
advantages of the city outside but
along many lines of activity in the
life of the city where the united efforts
of the business men can be productive
of much good and every man who has
any interest whatever in the building
up of the city should join it. At the
rate the membership lists are being
signed it is hoped that fully thousand
men viii be on the charter membership
roll.

START WORK SOON
"Great White Way to be Started at
Racine and Built to Kenosha

Agents Of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Realty Company promoters of
"The Great White Way who are now
working in Kenosha, declare that the
building of the great road way will be
started early in April and that the
first stretch of it will be built between
Racine and Kenosha. The work is
scheduled to start at Racine and it is
expected that the, roadway which is
to be located two and a half miles
west of the two cities will be complet-
ed as far as Kenosha before the end
Of the year. Kenosha men interested
in road building seem to be taking
kindly to the scheme of the company
and already more than fifty of the best
known men of the city have purchased
stock in the company. Five shares of
the stock are sold for ten dollars. The
agents declare that the roadway will
be completed from Milwaukee and Chi
cago within two years.

THIS CITY AS WORKING POINT
Graham Arrested at GAINESVILLE Goes
to Prison Without Telling Anything
of His Past Life or Giving His
Real Name.

The barring of the great swindle con-
nected with the, selling of moonshine
cleo is largely due to the arrest of
a Kenosha man. The government first
got its start in the investigation of
the mammoth swindle through the
story told by Graham when he was
arrested at GAINESVILLE many weeks ago
and the government officials are now
Seeking to know who Graham was and
is in order that they may get line
on him. Graham was the "mysteri-
GUS stranger'' in GAINESVILLE and when
he was arrested he informed the of
fcials at GAINESVILLE that he resided in
Kenosha and when he left GAINESVILLE
to 60 to TT. Leavenworth prison to
begin serving a. term of eighteen
months he still stated that his home
address was Kenosha. At the time
Of the arrest of Graham the Kenosha
police sought to solve his identity but
they found nothing that would satisfy
this curiosity.
Graham claimed at the time of his
arrest to have been connected with a
creamery here and it is now thought
possible that before the arrest of
Graham Kenosha had been one of the
distributing points for the "moon-
shine oleo. - AS soon as he had plead
ed "guilty" to charge of selling
colored oleomargerine at GAINESVILLE and
had been sentenced to prison Graham
shut up tight and failed to give out
anything in regard to the men con-
nected with him. He admitted for
some time that he and his confederates
had been selling colored oleo as butter
and that he made his headquarters at
Kenosha. Later Edward Klimis, the
confederate, was arrested in Milwau-
kee and his story before the federal
grand jury in Chicago has stirred up
one of the biggest investigations of
recent years. Klimis admitted that
he worked in Wisconsin under an as
sumed name and it is regarded as GER
tain that Graham who was said to be
la Kenosha man, was also working und-
er an assumed name. Federal au-
thorities have been in Kenosha several
times since the story was told to the
federal grand jury making an effort
to find out who Graham is. It is
thought possible that Graham was at
one time in ~business in Kenohsa, but
under his cloak Of silence and by the
aid of the speedy settlement of his
case he seems to have been able to
maintain the cloak Of mystery which
he threw about his identity so that
it has been impossible for either local,
state or federal authorities to solve it.
Graham is alleged by the GAINESVILLE
officers to have been decidedly clev-
er man and it is claimed that he made
hundreds of dollars in the short time
he worked at GAINESVILLE. It is furth-
er alleged that his shipments of color
ed oleo came from Kenosha. Tnvesti-
cation here fails to reveal the fact that
any packages alleged to contain but
ter or oleo are being shipped out of
this city and it is thought that the
arrest of Graham caused the supplying
point to be removed to some other
city.

MAKES BOYS SELF SUSTAINING
Parole Rules of the Institution are
Working Admirably and Few of the
Boys Sent to Green Bay Remain for
Their Full Tern.

A. F. Greenhagen, of Oshkosh, parole
officer for the Wisconsin State Re-
formatory at Green Bay, is proud of
the work that is being done by that
institution in the reformation of Wis
consin boys and while in Kenosha for
his regular official visit to paroled pri-
soners today he declared that the pa
role system as it has been worked out
at the reformatory was proving one
of the most successful systems ever
tried in connection with the manage
ment of the penal institutions. Mr..
Greenhagen is desperately in earnest
in his work and he is on the road all
the time looking after the fftyfour
boys under his control.
Kenosha county," said Mr.. Green
hagen, "sends as large a proportion
ate number of boys to the Green Bay
institution as any county in the state
outside of Milwaukee county and I
want to say right here that one Ke-
nosha prisoner on parole has given me
more trouble than all the other fifty
four under my management. Nearly
all of the boys that we have paroled
are working we'll and saving their
money. We are proud of the fact
that the Green Bay institution is self
supporting and I believe that it is the
only penal institution in the state that
is selfsupporting. We have there a
little over $50 hard working boys and
we are planning to build an addition
to the institution this year. For the
most part boys sent to Green Bay do
not remain long in the institution for
regardless of the term for which they
are sentenced we place them on parole
just as soon as they are properly train
ed and there are very few of them
ever taken back to the institution.
The number of boys on parole grows
larger each month and you would be
surprised to know the excellent re-
ports that are given Of these boys. In
my capacity I visit every one of the
boys once in six weeks and talk not
only with them, but with their par
ents and guardians and our institution
never loses its hold on the boy until
his term of work has EXPIRED
Mr.. Greenhagen stated that Joe
Catuso, the last of the trio convicted
On a robbery charge with Charles Gil
lotti, had been released on parole from
the Green Bay institution. He left
the reformatory last week and went
to Cumberland where he is now en-
ployed on a farm owned by Deputy
Sheriff Palmer of Baron county and
at the end of his term the deputy sher-
if has arranged to provide employ
ment for him. Catuso will probably
never return to Kenosha county as he
has no relatives to care for him in this
county.
There are at the present time twenty
young men and boys from Kenosha
county under the jurisdiction of the
Green Bay institution and according
to the report of Mr.. Greenhagen all
of them are making good inmates of
the institution.

TELLS HOW MUCH DIRT IN MILK
New Device Made by Babcock and Fars
rington at University Dairy School


rington at University Dairy School
A simple tester to show quickly and
accurately the amount Of dirt in milk
has been devised by DR.. S. M. Babcock
and Prof. z, H. Harrington of the
Agricultural Experiment Station at the
University of Wisconsin. The con-
struction and operation is. described in
IA new bulletin just published.
The new test involves fltering a pint
of the milk through an absorbent cot
ton disc which collects the sediment
A comparison Of these discs shows the
relative amount of dirt in different
consignments of milk Creameries and
cheese factories have needed such a
test for a long time, and the new de-
vice proves to be both inexpensive and
deficient as a means Of grading milk
according to the amount of dirt it con-
tains.
