.BRAWL ENDS IN WlFE'S DEATH
Former Kenosha Farm Hand Beats
Woman With HIS Fist and She Dies
From Injuries inflicted - Schneider
Makes No Statement.

Charles Schneider who worked in sew
eral towns of Kenosha county during
the past few years is under arrest in
Chicago charged with the murder of
his wife Minnie Schneider. The muir
der is alleged to have taken place at
&c Peoria street in Chicago on last
Wednesday night and the woman died
from injuries alleged to have been in
fiicted by Schneider on Thursday morn
ing. The alleged murderer fled from
Chicago and went to Dekalb, I'll. but he
returned to Chicago on Saturday night
and Monday was arrested by the officers
Of the DesPlaines street station and
is now in Jail charged with murder.
Schneider has refused to make any
statement in regard to the crime. The
arrest of the man was made by De-
tective Alcott, Sergeant Blenan and
Patrolman Reed of the West Side Chi
cago police station.
Mrs. Schneider is said to have been
very beautiful woman and she also
was known to people in this county.
Schneider originally came from Indiana
but he had lived for some time in and
about Chicago and for several sum-
mers he had come to Kenosha to work
in the haying season and he had been
employed on several farms in the towns
of Somers and Paris. He was known
as hard working man and the report
that he is in jail for murder will I'M
doubtedly cause a. profound sensation
among the people of these towns. The
story of the murder as told by the Chi
cago detectives who made the arrest OF
Schneider shows the crime to have been
a most brutal one Schneider and his
wife occupied an upper fat on Peoria
street and it is declared that for some
time their relations had been anything
but peaceful. On Wednesday evening
it is declared that both were under the
influence of liquor and Schneider is
alleged to have charged his wife with
infdelity. There was brawl between
the two which resulted according to
the claims of the police in Schneider
attacking the woman. He struck her
repeatedly with his fist and it is
claimed that one of the blows fractured
her skull.
The woman was found in her apart
ments on Thursday morning. She was
barely conscious and shortly after she
was removed, to hospital she died
without making any statement to the
police.
Schneider is alleged to have left the
house soon after the fight with his
wife and it is supposed that he took
a train to Dekalb where be remained in
hiding until Saturday when he return
ed to Chicago and was arrested. He
intimated that he struck the woman in
self defense. Nothing is known in this
county of the family of Schneider and
he and his wife were the only members
of the family to visit the towns where
Schneider had worked

OPEN TWO NEW DEPARTMENTS.
Manual Training TO Be Extended To
the Graded Schools and Drawing TO
Be introduced Many Changes In
Teachers

Members Of the Board Of Education
and officials Of the city schools are
busy putting the final touches on the
arrangements for the re-opening of the
city schools for the new term a week
from next Tuesday and while the open
ing day falls on the same day as the
primary election there will not be an
added holiday in all Of the schools of
the city. The big army of school boys
and girls is getting ready to take up
the work for the new year and it is
certain that the registration in the city
schools this year will be far in advance
of that recorded at any formal opening.
During the summer months many
changes have been made in the build
ings New rooms have been made ready
for the reception of the children and
the old ones have been frightened up
by coats of paint and calsomine. New
departments have been installed, the
most notable being the new manual
training departments in two of the
schools of the city. This will make it
possible to offer manual training to
many of the students of the graded
schools who have not had the oppor-
tuni ty in the past. The commercial de-
partment Of the High School is to be
opened this year with wide scope
and with full corps of teachers. It
is to be made one of the most interest
ing and it is certain to be one of the
most popular departments Of the city
schools In addition to this there will
be Q. new department of drawing and it
Tit just possible that arrangements will
be made for the teaching Of music in
the schools. The plans can not be car
ried out at the opening of the term but
it is probable that the Board Of Educa-
tion will take steps to provide for
these departments at the first meeting
in September.
4 = +
There will be many changes in the
teaching force of the schools. Mrs.
Mary D. Bradford has succeeded Peter
j. Zimmers as Superintendent and she
has taken hold of her office with an
enthusiasm which promises to bri z
many changes both in the grades and at
the High Schools. Prof. Oliver S.
Thompson will succeed Prof. w. J..
Hooking as Principal of the High School
and he has already brought several in
novations into the High School. The
laboratory at the High School has been
reftted and equipped with a lot of
new and up-to-date apparatus and this
will make it possible for the men in
charge to teach science in way de-
manded by the best colleges In the
country.
There will be many new 1aces among
the grade teachers and several new
teachers have been employed to take
charge Of the different departments
in the High School. Two new Kinder
garten rooms will be opened in the
schools and these will be in charge of
competent teachers.
1t is expected that there will be an
unusually large increase in the number
Of children registered in these depart
merits. During the past few years-the
NUMBER of children in the sub primary
departments has been steadily in
creasilg and the recent school census
shows that the number this year will
be larger than ever before.

VIOLATED SMOKE LAW.

Charles e. Turnock Gets into a Glass
With Illinois Central Of Chicago.
Charles e. Turnock, Kenosha agent
for the Stoddard Dayton Automobiles
climbed into high class on Tuesday
when he was arraigned in the Munich
pal court in Chicago charged with vio-
lating the anti-smoke law. He was not
alleged to be as great an offender as
the Illinois Central Railway company
but it was alleged that he had allowed
his automobile to "smoke. y Mr.. Tur-
mock was arrested on Monday evening
just after he had purchased a new auto
mobile and had started with it to his
home in Kenosha. He was fined SIS and
costs. This is a new proposition for
the automobile owners of Kenosha who
visit Chicago and the arrest of Turnock
will probably have the effect of causing
other Kenosha men to be more careful.

Department would ultimately be very
important factor in the affairs of The
Realty Syndicate, and that at the pres
ent time they were doing particularly
fine work on exceedingly easy terms in
order to get about 100 contracts for
houses which can be Immediately
erected and shown as examples of the
Syndieate's workmanship in the future.
Our Building Department Will un-
doubtedly be great success con-
tinued Mr.. CrossIey. because we are
conducting it upon absolutely new
lines. Heretofore installment building
concerns have almost invariably fig
ured upon the cheapest possible con-
struction with the result that after a.
period of four or five years their
houses began to go to pieces. This fact
did not seem to bother them. for they
could easily start operations in another
neighborhood under different name
and do the same thing over again. The
Realty Syndicate. however, is in an
entirely different position. and has a
great deal Al stake; in fact. we figure.
that in 10 or 20 years we will be doing
an enormous amount of home building.
and must consequently be very careful
in all of our dealings at all times.
Contractors who have seen our houses
claim that we are going to the extreme
in this regard and that many eeOnO-
mics could be practiced which would
bring US greater profits. We differ
from them, however. in this regard, as
we figure that one satisfied home
builder will bring us an average of
two other builders, and out of the
three we will make more profit than
any unscrupulOus contractor could
possibly make by carrying out all Of
his shrewdly hidden economies
A great many people are taking adj
vantage of this building department
and several houses have already been
completed although the department
has been organized only a few months.
