members of the Danish Sisterhood
there was a series of speeches in which
the members of the brotherhood receiv-
ed congratulations on the completion
of the new home. Short addresses were
made by Mayor NJ. J. Seholey, DR.. P.
2. NJ. Jorgensen, and Joseph Joseph
son, president of the Brotherhood while
fraternal greetings from the Racine
Chapter were extended by War Kirk
igaard one of the leading Danish resi-
dents of Racine.
After the set program of speeches
was over there were short talks by
members of the brotherhood who had
been active in securing the completion
of the splendid new home.
After the speeches were over the
hall was cleared and a dance inaugu,
rated which continued until early
morning
The Danish Brotherhood is one of
the Oldest and the strongest of the
Danish organizations in the city and it
numbers among its members nearly all
of the leading Danish residents of Ken
osha.

SPEAKERS THERE
Racine Brotherhood Sends a Delega
ton of Hundred to Extend Con-
CALCULATIONS to Kenosna Chapter on
the Opening of Splendid Home.

Saturday night was a red letter
night in the history of the Danish
Brotherhood of Kenosha as at that
time the splendid new home of the
brotherhood on Elizabeth street was
opened with all due ceremonies and
more than $50 Danes from Kenosha,
Racine and other cities were On hand
to attend the opening ceremonies. 1t
was one of the greatest gatherings ever
held among the Danish people OF the
city and the opening of the new build
ing was a notable event. The new
home Of the brotherhood has just been
completed at a cost of nearly twenty
thousand dollars and it is modern in
every way. A splendid two story
brick building with a hall 42x56 and
the ground floor used for store build
ings makes the building not only a
home for the brotherhood but rev.
enue producing building.
At the gathering on Saturday night
nearly every one of the 220 members
of the brotherhood in Kenosha were
present and with them came large dele
cations from Racine, Chicago, Wauke-
gan, Milwaukee and other cities. More
than hundred of the members of the
Danish Brotherhood in Racine came
down to attend the opening of the new
home and extend their congratulations
to the members of the Kenosha Broth
erhood. In honor of the event the hall
was deliberately decorated with flags
and bunting, Flags of Denmark and the
United States were to be seen all
about the room while the long tables
at which covers were laid fer more
than $50 guests were Respondent in
holiday decorations.
Many prominent men of the city
were guests of honor at the opening
banquet. Following the service of the

new ADDITION READY
State Expends $4,000 in Pre-
pairing for the Educa-
tion of the Deaf
OPEN TO CHILDREN OF STATE

The $4,000 addition to the school
house of the Wisconsin state school
for the deaf at Delavan will be com
pleted on January /, doubling the ia
eilities for actual instruction. With a
new girls dormitory completed last
spring, the school now has the finest
and largest equipment of any state
school for the deaf in America. Com
pletion of the new school house will
be made the occasion of a big cele-
bration, in which the state board of
control will participate.
"Not all of the parents of the deaf
and dumb children in Wisconsin have
yet come to appreciate the exceptional
facilities offered free by the state,''
said Supt. E. w. Walker. 'The school
is maintained by the state for the
education of those children within its
borders, who on account deafness, are
unable to receive instruction in the
common schools.
"Besides tle department OF academ-
ic instruction equal to that of the
grammar grades in the common schools
we have a high school department. and
in addition there are complete manual
training and domestic science depart
ments for boys and girls. Physical
training is given the attention it de.
serves.
"All deaf children of school age in
Wisconsin are admitted The state
pays board, room, washing, light, heat,
tuition, books etc. The expense for
one year to any child need not exceed
$500"
The teaching of actual speech and
Iip-reading is a feature of the Wis
consin course Of instruction. By this
means any deaf child can converse
with a hearing person without the use
of signs and is given an equal oppor-
turity with hearing persons in any line
of business, trade or profession.

was impossible for Miss Schroeder to
see his face. He> was cool and collect
olcaTed undJ Inns hau EoJ peen the irss
time that he had engaged In the hold
up game. As soon as he secured the
money from the young woman he laugh
ed and backed out of the station. Miss
Schroeder was so frightened that she
did not scream for help and the man
with a confederate who stood guard at
the outec door of the station had no
trouble, IN making away with their loot.
Veigel returned from his supper few
minutes later and the robbery was at
once reported to the police and every
available. officer was put to work on
the case with view of catching the
hold-up men before they got out of the
city.
George Hahn a motorman employed
by the Kenosha Electric Railway com
pany saw the two men connected with
the robbery standing on the platform
just before, his car left for the down
town trip walking up and down the
platform. One of the men wore a
black suit and black overcoat while
the second was dressed in overalls and
was smoking corn cob pipe. The
man in overalls was the man who deft-
ly handled the revolver and forced the
delivery of the funds of the company.
There can be no doubt but that the
men had carefully planned the hold
up OF the station and that they had
been waiting for some time to pull
off the crime. The similarity between
the hold-up3 of the station and the
hold-up of William Ii. Parry Jr., two
weeks ago has led the police to believe
that both crimes were pulled off by
the same parties. The police are hard
at work on the case and they hope to
make arrests during the day. It seems
possible that these hold-ups are the
work of local talent and efforts are be-
ing made to land the criminals.

age rights and tracks in Evanston and
for years ran suburban trains to that
city although the company did not seek
to build up much of business in that
respect. However, If the company has
made a deal to get the electric line,
the Evanston end of the line would be
a big asset and the company would
be placed in a position to compete
with the NORTH Western along the
North Shore in the suburban business
to a remarkable extent.
If the st. Paul does get che cleo
trio line as is the report, it will mean
much to Kenosha, it will mean that we
shall have competition in freight and
passenger service here between two
trunk lines and the help which such a
change would bring to the city cannot
be estimated.
It has been impossible to get any
thing definite on the matter, for in
such a deal, of course the officials are
very reticent. But, the fact that en-
ployees of the electric are talking of
the matter in way as if they believe
the deal has practically been settled,
indicates that there may be something
to it and that a big change in the
local railroad situation may result
about January LIST.

Declares Wife is Innocent

w. G.. Elsbury-Ingram, arrested in
Milwaukee on Friday on q charge of
larceny in connection with the theft
of watch from the home of Miss Eva
Wallace pleaded 'fguilty" to the
charge in the municipal court on Sat
urday afternoon and was sentenced to
pay fine of $25 and the costs of the
action or spend ninety. days in the
county Jail. The wife Of the defend
ant had been arrested on the same
charge but ,Elsbury-Ingram insisted in
court that his wife had no knowledge
of the crime and was not in any way
connected with it. The charges against
the woman were dismissed by the
court. The wife at once started out to
find money to pay the fine of her hus-
band but she declared that it would
be necessary to send cablegram to
England in order to raise the funds.

MASKED MAN DOES QUICK JOB
Miss Emma Schroeder in Charge of the
Office Forced to Give up Money at
the Point of Revolver-Men Make
Their Escape

Another daring crime perpetrated by
highwaymen was reported to the police
lust before nine O'Clock Friday even
inc when it was learned that the sta
ton of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway company at the west
end Of Elizabeth street had been looted
by two men who forced the clerk in
charge Of the Office to turn over all
the cash in the till of the Office. The
two men got away with total of a
little over twenty-seven dollars and as
yet the police have not been able to
get any clew to the identity of the
daring criminals.
The robbery of the station was per-
fect1y timed and it took place within
a few minutes after, a city car had
left the station for the down town
run and half an hour before the cars
on the Chicago and Milwaukee were
scheduled to arrive.

MAY SECURE Line THIS YEAR
Purchase of the Line Would Give Great
Trunk Railway Company Long Desir-
ed Entrance Into Kenosha and Other
Lake Shore Cities

According to statements OF employ
eeg of the Chicago & Milwaukee Elee-
trio Railroad company, they have heard
things which cause them to reach de-
finite conclusion that the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul rail road is taking
steps to purchase the entire line OF the
electric company.
In fact, they 60 so far as to state
that they are firm in the belief that
the railroad company will come into
Dossession of the electric road by Jan
uary list, and from then on, will have
entire control of the tracks, cars oper'
ating, etc, and that, ere long, ST.
Paul passenger traips viii be seen
passing through Kenosha via the West
Side line,
Tt Is a known fact that the st. Paul
has long wanted an entrance into
Kenosha but because of an agreement
with the North Western all efforts to
induce the company to extend It's line
here from Truesdel have proved futile.
However, there admittedly never has
been any agreement which would pre-
vent the railroad company from pur-
chasing any line which might run to
this city hence the fact that they may
have put through this coup and ar
ranged to get into this city and tap
the North Shore, is a logical way out
of it and step which many persons
have expectation years, in fact, when
Frost was promoting his big schemes
along the North Shore, it was felt
shat the st. Paul might even then be
back of him.
According to employees of. the cleo.
trio company, Mr.. Frost has lately re-
iterated his statements made some
time ago that, with the opening of the
new year, he would no longer be presi'
dent of the electric line, even fgur-
