BIG ENDOWMENT FOR
OHIO WESLEYAN

Delaware, o., March % Friday
of this week will bring to a close
the great forward movement cam
paign launched by the Ohio Wesley
an university eighteen months ago
for the purpose of raising an en-
dowment fund of half million dol
lars needed for the further develop
ment of this institution. The amount
to be raised is comparatively small
and there is every prospect that the
fund will be completed within a few
days.
Among the liberal contributions
to the fund was $125,OO0 from the
general education board of New York
City, $4,000 from Andrew Carnegie
and $1,000 from Bishop Bashford.

THINK ARREST A JOKE.
somers Saloon Men Plan to Fight
Against the Charges.

John B. Writ, John Neubauer, Peter
Steinbach and Joseph Weddlestedt, the
four Somers saloon men arrested on
charges OF violating the state laws by
keeping their saloons open on Sunday
were brought before Judge Randall in
the municipal court late Tuesday after
noon and all of the cases were continu-
ed until September Goth. The saloon
men have shown a Willingness to fight
the charges made against them by the
members of the Somers Town Board and
it is probable that they will demand a
jury trial. It is hard to see how the
men can escape being fined as the town
officials claim they themselves have
purchased the liquor in the various
places. The saloon men seem to think
that the arrests are joke and it is
evident that they hope to fix matters
up with the members of the town
board so that Sunday saloons will be
a possibility in Somers. The members
of the board and the district attorney
have declared that they will insist on
the enforcement of the law to the letter.

HURT IN A RUNAWAY
VIM. Rogers of Somers Suf-
fers Severe Injuries at
Jeffrey Plant Saturday
REMAINS LONG UNCONSCIOUS

William G. Rogers, a son Of William
Rogers of the town of Somers, met witr
very serious injuries in a runaway ac-
cident at the Jeffrey plant on Saturday
afternoon just before five O'Clock and
he is now in a critical condition at the
Kenosha hospital. Physicians in at
tendance state that his condialon is
such that he may not survive. He has
his right LEG broken just below the
hip, q compo,Td fracture of the left
arm a. the elbow and severe bruises
throughout the body. In addition to
this he has suffered terribly from the
shock of the injuries and it is feared
that he has suffered severe internal in
iuries. Rogers is employed by James
H. Karnes as steamster and on Sat
urday he was hauling some forms for
the Thomas B. Jeffrey company. It is
thought that one Of the boards on the
wagon broke and allowed the load to
oi@F Lo1Ndlo' ROSGfS WAS Thrown OIL
the wagon under the horses and they
became frightened at the, falling forms
and started to run. Before the team
could be stopped Rogers who held onto
the lines had been dragged for some
distance. 1t lis thought that he was
run over by the wagon and trampled
by the horses. The elbow at the left
arm was broken off, both bones being
splintered. AS soon as possible an am
biance was called and Rogers was re-
moved to the hospital. Since that time
he has been only partially conscious
and no connected story of the acct
dent could be secured from him.
The inquired man is thirty years
of age and widely known throughout
the county.

Idle Children in Kenosha to
be Reported to School Of
ticials by the Police
TO FORCE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

A new system has been adopted by
the police department of the city to
enforce the laws against truancy among
children and in the future the police
will keep a written record Of every
boy and girl in the city Of school age
who may be found idle on the streets.
The officers have all been supplied with
blanks which are made up to show the
name and address of the child, his
or her age and the names of the par
ents. These cards are to be used when
ever an officer may find child of
school age out Of school. The cards are
then turned over to the chief of the
department and by him reported to the
truancy officer of the city who is ex-
pected to check up the cards daily and
have the children either in school or
their parents in court to show why they
are not regularly attending the schools
of the city. The new work for the
police is a part of the new system of
"reports'' adopted by superintendent
of schools, Mrs. Mary D. Bradford. This
system is great card catalogue in
which the school history of every child
in the city will be kept. This history
will show just when the child entered
school and how regularly he has attend
ed. A checking of the cards at any
time will show just exactly the amount
of truancy in the city. The police have
been notified that it is the intention Of
the members of the board of education
to go into court and insist on the pun,
ishment of the parents of all children
who refuse to attend the schools.
The enforcement of the law promises
to bring a much better condition among
the school children Of the city.

FAIL TO MAKE PROPER RETURNS
Many Returns of Marriages Performed
in the City Never Reach the Regis
ter of Deeds and the District Attor-
ney May Act.

Register of Deeds, Leo NJ. Flasch
has discovered decidedly serious de-
feet in the return of vital statistics
of Kenosha county and it is claimed
that the troubles are caused on account
of the laxity of ministers of the city
in making returns of marriages per
formed by them and the register of
deeds has applied to the district attor
ney for an opinion as to what steps
ance of the law.
The law provides that all ministers
performing marriage ceremonies shall
within three days after the date of
the marriage make return to the
health officer who on the ninth Of each
month shall make a return of the rec
ords to the officials of the county and
state. The law provides a fine of from
$25 to 5000 for each violation Of the
law and it is declared that if prosecu-
tions were started under the law the
meagre salaries of the ministers would
be more than eaten up by the penalties
which the state would collect from
them. This of course does not apply
to all ministers in the city for the
great majority of them send in the re-
turn to the health official before the
wedding guests are dispersed, but it
is certain from an examination IF the
records that not over three reports in
five are filed within the time set by
the law and at least one report in five
never reaches the office of the register
of deeds.
The delinquency of the ministers and
others qualified under the law to per-
form marriages does not in any way
affect the standing of the couples mar
ried, but it leaves the records of the
county in bad condition. An ex-
animation shows that many licenses are
issued for which no returns OF mar
riages are made to the register of deeds
and this is due to the fact that the
ministers fail to make the returns.
This delinquency on the part of some
Of the ministers has extended over
years and as result many marriages
which are performed in the county
have never been properly recorded.
Some of the ministers make the re-
turns long after the time stipulated by
the law. Just at the present time mar
rage returns are being brought to the
register of deeds which should have
been filed at least nine months ago and
it is impossible for the official to keep
his records in anything like proper
form. The law strictly provides for
the collection of the penalty against the
ministers and the officials are deter
mined to make an example Of one Of
them i'll order to secure a proper OBJ
servance of the law. The law does not
provide for the starting of prosecutions
by the register of deeds and it will
be up to the district attorney to decide
just who shall start the prosecutions.

READY FOR SENTENCE.
P. J. Moulton Arrested as Forger Ready
to Take His Medicine.

P. j. Moulton, Norwich, Conn, store
keeper, arrested here Saturday night on
charge of uttering forged checks, has
notified the police that he will plead
''guilty" to the charges in the NUM-
cipal court and it is probable that he
will receive his sentence some time to-
morrow. Moulton has been IN com
munication with his friends and he
seems anxious to get into prison and
start serving his sentence.
p. H. Lyons of Chicago, arrested
more than three weeks ago, as pick
pocket and held for trial at the Septem-
Der term of the circuit court also de-
clared his willingness to plead "guilty"
Lyons has chafted against remaining in
jail and the conditions under which he
was arrested were such that he sees lit
tie chance of an acquittal when the case
comes for trial. 1t is probable that
both men will be arraigned and sent
enced on Thursday afternoon.
