ARRESTED IN CHICAGO.
Kenosha Boys Charged With Grand
Larceny Taken by Chicago Police.

John WSncek, aged IL and Frank
Wincek, aged IA, two Kenosha boys
who disappeared from the city a week
ago yesterday have been located in
Chicago and they are being held at the
Juvenile school in that city pending
the coming of Kenosha police officers
who will bring them to Kenosha to
answer charges of grand larceny. The
two boys were picked up by the police
of Chicago several days ago and at
the time claimed that they were from
Lorraine, Ohio. Later the men in
charge of the station discovered that
the boys had been living with their
uncle John Wincel in Kenosha and
they Immediately notified ,Wincek that
they were being held in Chicago. The
uncle who had been searching for the
boys for the better part of a week lost
no time in securing warrant for their
arrest on charges of grand larceny It
is alleged that the boys when they dis
appeared from Kenosha week ago
took with them $32 in American money
and $50 in Austrian money all the pro-
perty of the uncle. 1t represented the
savings of some time and as it disap-
peared at the same time that the boys
disappearance the uncle connected the
two disappearance and demanded the
arrest of the boys.

TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS SOON
Funds of the City Fail to Warrant
Addition of Men to the Force at the
Present Time But Appointments May
Be Made in January.

The Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners of the city have certified
to the City Clerk new eligible list of
men for the police and fire department
as result of the examinations held
two weeks ago and this list has been
turned over to the Chiefs of the two
departments to be used in making APP
pointments to fill vacancies and fill the
new places on the two forces. At the
present time there is one vacancy on
the police force and three new men are
to be added just as soon as the fnan-
cial condition of the city will warrant
it. There are no vacancies on the fire
department but the department. will
also have three new men in the near
future. On the, list of eligibles for
police officers are the following: Henry
Tyson, Matt j. Wade, Anton Pecnic.
These were all selected out of list of
ten candidates examined by the board
at the recent meeting and the commits
sion is still seeking men to put on the
list in order to give the Chief of the
department chance to fill vacancies
as they may occur. In addition to the
three named the names of f. Bunge
and Joseph Borowski are on the elig-
ible list for police positions these
names having been placed on the list
in July of this year and they remain
eligible to positions for one year. The
three men named are well known. Pee
mic has been in the saloon business in
Kenosha for some time and has wide
acquaintance among the foreigners in
the city. For this reason he has been
strongly urged for a place on the force
and it is declared that he has the
support of the Mayor and a number Of
the city officials. The men certified as
eligible for places on the fire depart
ment include Henry began, who is
now regular member of the force
at the Central engine house, William
Honecker, Charles Upham and Lee Mi
ner. The last named was one of the
star players on the Kenosha football
team and he passed high examina-
tion before the Board of Fire and Po-
lice Commissioners.
The collection of the taxes may
makeSit possible for the Chiefs of the
two departments to add the new men
to the forces during the month of
January but it is pretty certain that
no new men will be added without
consulting with the committees OF the
council. These committees are favor
able to the addition of the new men
just as soon as the city has money in
sight to provide for the payment Of
them.

"Kenosha Institute Of Wire
less Telegraphy" to Be
Opened With New Year
PROF. EDWIN LAMB IN CHARGE

Kenosba is to be one of the first
cities in the northwest to have school
of wireless telegraphy and the new in
stitution is to be opened with the first
of the new year at 119 Milwaukee ave-
nue.. It is to be under the patronage
of the United Wireless Telegraph COM
pany and will be under the direction Of
Edwin S. Lamb. The arrangements for
the opening of the new school are now
being completed and it is expected that
a dozen students will be entered at the
opening day Of the school. Mr.. Lamb
who is to be in charge of the school is
a graduate of the New York Institute
of Wireless Telegraphy and was for
| time an instructor in that institution.
Prof. Lamb has made several inventions
in t. Q field of wireless which have prov.
ed Of great value to the science and he
is regarded as one of the best posted
men in the west on the subject of the
new form for the transmission of mes
sages. Since his return from New York
two years ago he has operated an ex-
detrimental station here and has been
sending and receiving messages over
instruments of his own manufacture.
The interest in wireless is steadily in
creasing ana there is big demand for
wireless operators IN fact this demand
is SO large that the few schools in the
country have not been able to turn out
students enough to meet them and it is,
certain that the graduates of the Ken
osha school will have no trouble in Sc
curing positions. 1t is possible that the
new Kenosha institution will go into
the correspondence school method and
that Kenosha will seek to teach thou
sands of students of wireless by mail.
Prof. Lamb is enthusiastic over the
outlook for the school and he believes
that in few years it will become one
of the most noteworthy educational in
stitutions of the city.

Walter Wells, Son of Well
known Manufacturer Webs
Miss Elizabeth Lyle Ivy
WEDDING A SURPRISE TO ALL

There was futter in Kenosha this
morning caused by the announcement
of the marriage Of Walter Wells, son of
Frank L. Wells, the well known manu-
facturer and Miss Elizbeth Lyle Ivy
which was celebrated at Memphis, Tenn.
at half past eight O'Clock Wednesday
evening The first news Of the we'd
ding came to Kenosha this morning in
a telegram addressed to the father of
the groom. Mr.. and Mrs. Wells will
leave Memphis this evening for Chi
cago and after spending a week in
Chicago will come to Kenosha to make
their home.
The bride is the daughter of well
known cotton broker in Memphis and
she has never been in Kenosha. Mr..
Wells first met Miss Ivy two years
age when he went to Memphis on a
business trip. A year ago the an
nouncement of the engagement
of the young people was made
but no time had been set for the
marriage. Mr., Wells left Kenosha for
Memphis last Friday evening and
planned to spend the holidays with his
sweetheart. When he left Kenosha
he told his father that there was one
chance in hundred that he might be
married before he returned from his
visit but he told none of, his other
friends or relatives Of his plan and the
first they knew of the wedding was
the Geographic announcement this
morning Miss Ivy has been well
known in the younger society Of Mem
phis and she is said to be beautiful
and charming young lady. Mr.. Wells
is associated with his father in the
Frank Wells company. The young
people will make their home in Ken
osha and will be at home to their
friends after the first of February.
While the announcement of the mar
riage will come as a great surprise,
many Kenosha friends will be pleased
to extend congratulations and Mrs.
Wells is assured the heartiest sort of
a welcome to her new home.

In another column of this issue will
be found the full statement of Head
Clerk Halves of the Modern Woodmen
Of America relative to the charges
which have been made against the
head officers of the order. The state
ment is lengthy one but in justice
to the officers of the order we hope
that it will be carefully read and con
sidered by every Woodman and by
AL who have read the attacks on the
order in the papers. The Woodmen,
will, of course, use their own judgment
as to the statements purporting to
give the motives actuating the men
who fled these charges. 1t may be
remarked in passing that the Kenosha
county Woodmen almost without ex-
eeption have the fullest confidence in
the honesty, integrity and ability of
the officers of the head camp.

there are no Kenesha claims against the
company.

HOUSE SOAKED WITH KEROSENE
Flames are Discovered However, Be-
fore any Serious Damage is Done.
State Fire Marshal May be Called to
Make an Investigation.

The police and fire departments of
the city are investigating mysterious
fire which was discovered just after
ten clock Wednesday night at build
ing owned by Felix Ameche and located
at the corner of Rowland avenue and
Park street. Thus far the cause of the
fire has not been discovered but the
conditions are such that the police and
freIren seem to think that it is possible
that the fire was a case of deliberately
attempting to destroy the building. The
fire was discovered by merchant police
officer Charles Rottman. It had been
burning for short time but the door
leading to the rear portion Of the build
ing was a mass of flames There was
no fire in any other part of the build
ing and the C" ndition of the blaze seem
ed TO indicate that the fire had been
started on the outside Of the building
The door was burning away on the out
side and the flames had not penetrated
to the inside of the building when dis
covered. The building has recently
been fitted up for use as meat mar
ket and it was to have been opened
within the next few days. There had
been no fire in the lower part of the
building on Wednesday and the only
fire in the building was in fat above
the meat market. The people who re-
sided in the fiat were at home at the
time Of the blaze and they were routed
out of their beds at the time the fire
men were summoned. The loss from the
fire was not in excess of $40. The
main interest centers in the effort to
discover the cause of the blaze and
the State Fire Marshal may be asked
to look into the case. Ameche is the
proprietor of saloon on Rowland ave-
nue. short distance from the building
which was on fire and it is thought
possible that some enemy of his had
arranged to destroy the building.
After completing an investigation in
to the fire this morning Chief Isermann
said; There is no doubt but that de-
liberate effort was made to burn the
building and even this morning the
odor of the kerosene thrown over the
rear of the building is very noticeable.
We have examined a number of people
who were seen in the neighborhood of
the building last night but we have alb
solutely no clew as to the identity of
the people who set the fire. 1t was
lucky that the fire did not get better
start but this was probably due to the
fact that the, kerosene thrown on the
building had been mingled with water
and it was slow to catch fire.
The chief declared that the most rig
id steps would be taken to ascertain
the people connected with the outrage
and secure their punishment.

The strangest thing about those
wholesale election frauds in Adams
county, Ohio, is the rapidity with which
the guilty parties are being convicted,
fined, and disfranchised. That is the
hopeful sign, for it shows that the
Adams county people still believe in
clean elections and the sacredness of
the ballot and when the present house
cleaning is completed, Adams county
will emerge from the purifying process
with an electorate better qualified to
vote than many Of the counties and
communities now holding up their
hands in holy terror at the extent of
the corruption shown there, which have
never made any attempt to- punish
open election frauds in their own pre-
cincts and which would have difficulty
in securing convictions if they did.
What was written centuries ago about
the mote and the beam applies in this
