R SEEKING NEW ALLIES TO BROOK NO DELAY
Children to Be Interested in
the Great Battle Against
Spread of Consumption
CHILDREN CRUSADE POPULAR

The children of Wisconsin are rapid
ly being enlisted in the crusade against
consumption.
Recognizing the necessity of inter
esting the young people in the battle,
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation has inaugurated "The Crusade
of the Double Red Cross for child
rem under personal direction of Har.
vey Dee Brown, Phi. D., general lectur-
er of the society, who has devised a
campaign to cover the entire state this
year.
Already 10000 boys and girls have
received instruction in the rudiments
of the prevention, cure and eradication
of tuberculosis through DR.. Brown IS
talk entitled 1.-THE Crusade of the
Double Red Cross" which is consid-
cred happy method of presenting the
subject to children.
The success of the children's crusade
has led the society to issue neat GER
tifcate handsomely printed in two
colors, to be pasted on the inside COW
er of school books as a constant re-
minder of the duties of the young
crusader. It certifes that the holder
has been instructed. Each child is
provided with a certificate at the close
of DR.. Brown s "lesson'
The work with the children will be
confined for the next few weeks ex-
clusively to Milwaukee schools, where
an evening lecture for both children
and their parents will be combined
with the daily instruction in the
grades.
"While the people of today are re-
ceiving benefit from the battle against
consumption, it is the coming genera
ton, said Dr. Brown, ''that will de-
rive the greatest benefit, and to whom
we must look for the soldiers who are
to capture the last stronghold of the
disease. The children of today will
be the ones who shall establish the new
standard of cleanliness and care in per-
sonal habits, SO that when they reach
the prime of life all will be safeguard
ed from the terrible scourge. We ap-
peal to parents to help us to interest
the children in this crusade, and we
expect the children in many cases to
interest and inform their parents con-
corning the presentation of the dis.
ease"

Well Known Manager of Hos
iery Works is President of
Board of Education
CONTEST ENDS ON 4TH BALLOT

George H. Curtis, well known SUI
perintendent of the Chicago -Kenosha
Hosiery Works, was elected president
of the board of education on the or
ganization of the new board at a
meeting held at the city hall on Tues
day evening and his election will
probably bring new regime to the
work of the board. Mr.. Curtis will
succeed w. j. Thrienen who has been
at the head of the board for two years.
The election Of Mr.. Curtis was brought
about by combination of Republican
and Democratic members of the board
who favored a non-partisan organiza-
ton. The election of Mr.. Curtis did
not come without a contest and four
ballots were necessary to secure an
election. The members of the board
who had been closely allied with the
Thrienen administration were favor
able to the election of w. j. Craney
and on the first three ballots taken
by the board the vote stood eight for
Craney and eight for Curtis. On the
fourth ballot one Of the Craney men
switched to Curtis and made possible
his election.
Mr. Curtis has been member of
the board for some time and has al
ways taken a great interest in the
schools. He has been a member of
many important school board commit
tees and is in close touch with every
interest of the board. In accepting
the office of president of the board,
the new leader declared that his work
of presiding officer would be nom
partisan and he urged all the members
of the board to join with him in an
effort to make the year just opening
the best in the history of the schools
of the city.
Michael Donahue who had served the
board in the capacity Of clerk dur
ing the year in a decidedly acceptable
manner, was reelected to the office, he
receiving II votes on the first ballot.
The other members of the board vot-
ed for Miss Ella Powers who has been
for some time the clerk in the Office
of the superintendent of schools.
Before the new board was organized
meeting of the old board was held,
but little business of an important ma
ture was transacted. The matter Of
opening the Columbus school came up
and it was decided to open the build
ing on next Monday morning, but
there was no action taken on the ac
ceptance of the building by the board
and this matter will be taken up at
the May meeting of the board. There
was a short discussion of the bills of
janitors but this brought nothing of
public interest. School Commissioner
John Corcoran the only member of the
old board to retire made the motion
that the board adjourn sine die. The
organization Of the new board. follow
ed at once and the meeting was over
before nine O'Clock.

MEN ARMED WITH REVOLVERS
Find Eugene Miller Seemingly Ignor-
ant German Hidden in the Store Of
Drove Him to Crime

The people of the village of Somers
had some real excitement at midnight
Monday night when posse of the
men of the village led by James Mel
son, the deputy sheriff of the village.
arrested Eugene Miller, seemingly an
! ignorant German in the very act of
robbing the general store of Bullamore
Brothers. Miller was brought to Ke-
nosha several hours after his arrest
and is being held at the county Jail
pending an examination. The arrest
Of the man was a thrilling event in
the life of Somers. The prisoner
claims to have recently worked in Chi
cage and Milwaukee, but it is evident
that he had been hanging about the
village of Somers for some days and
the officers are not certain that he is
clever rogue.
Miller gained an entrance to the
Bullamore store by breaking the glass
in one of the front windows and his
presence in the store was discovered
by number of the men of the village
who had been attending social en-
tertainment Finding the glass in the
window broken the men placed guards
about the store then summoned Deputy
Sheriff Nelson and the members of the
firm. The men hurriedly armed them
selves and seven of them entered the
place in search Of the burglar. Miller
had been in the store earlier in the
evening and had purchased a loaf of
bread, but it is thought that he made
this purchase for the sole purpose of
getting the run of the store The
man had concealed himself so effective
ly that twice the members of the posse
armed to the teeth passed him, but on
the third round he was found crouched
in corner Of the store. Nelson
personally made the arrest and when

zle Of the revolver of the deputy
pressed against his head he threw up
his hands and made no effort to put ar
a fight. AS soon as possible convey
ance was secured and he was brought
to Kenosha and lodged in jail.
At the jail this morning Miller de.
clared that he had been in this country
but few months and that he had been
forced to commit the crime on account
of the fact that he was hungry and
had not been able to get any work OF
anything to eat. He declared that
he had not eaten for four days and
that passing the store he was seized
with determination to break into
the place and get some bread and
other food. The big window was
smashed with rock and the man
crawled into the store through the
broken window.
