Leaders in Boys Religious
Work Hold an Interesting
Conference Wednesday.
Formulate PLANS FOR WORK

Representatives Of more than fifty
churches and religious organizations
in Racine and skenosha counties met
at the First Methodist church in Ra-
cine on Wednesday afternoon and
evening for a discussion Of the best
plans for work among the boys of
the two counties.
The meeting was the first of the
kind ever held in the two counties
and there was great interest shown in
it and plans were discussed and out
lined which are expected to bring
notable results in work among the
boys Of Racine and Kenosha counties.
The conference opened with devo-
tional exercise after which w. III.
Wones of Milwaukee, state secretary
of the boys work in the Y. NJ. G.. A.,
addressed the conference and lie de-
clared that the work among the boys
was the most important work to be
done by the religious organizations of
the present time. He outlined the
work proposed to be done by the as
ISOLATION and urged the, most hearty
cooperation from all bodies of rehgi-
Gus men and women.
George w. Hinckley Of Maine, who
has national reputation as worker
among boys, gave an address on the
subject: 'fThe Challenge of the
Church to the Older Boys" and
David r. Porter of New York, also a
national worker, gave the response
"'The Challenge of the Older Boy to
the Church. - In the two addresses
the work that the church is doing and
the short comings of the church work
ers in reaching the boys were fully
brought out.
Following the discussion of these
addresses there was a dinner given
in honor Of the delegates after which
there were a number of conferences
at which programs Tor work among
the boys were taken up and discussed.
These programs provided for the or
ganization of clubs among the boys in
the various communities and the car
rying out of various plans to increase
the interest of the boys in religious
work.
In the evening session there were
addresses by David R. Hinckley and
David r. Porter.
1t is expected shat the conference
will result in a great revival of work
among the boys of the two counties.
The movement is in no way sectional
and on Wednesday afternoon confer
ences were held in all parts of the
state at which the work among the
boys was the principal topic Of discus
sion.

In a way the appropriation made by
the council for visiting nurse is an
experiment, but there is little doubt
but that a test of the plan for a
period extending over six months will
show that certain kinds of inspection
work which must be done can be done
better and cheaper by visiting nurse
than in any other way. If the city
is lucky enough to secure the right
kind of nurse she will be able to
make herself absolutely indispensable
before the present appropriation is ex-
hausted. These nurses seem to be
: able to get at facts in regard to un-
safe sanitary conditions that are COM
monty hidden from the officials of the
health departments of the cit, IS and
they have done much to improve con-
ditions in a quiet but most effective
way in every city that has enlisted
their services. The nurse will, of
course work under the direct super
vision of the health department and
be given the full powers of an officer
of that department. but the poormaster
and the principals of the schools will
have the right to call on her for any
special Investigations that they think
are needed.

Industrial Commission Be.
gins Work of Enforcing
Law Against Overtime.
FACTORY MANAGERS WARNED
Arrests are Started in Northern Part
of State and Assistant Factory In
spector Kept Closely in Touch With
Employers of Women in Kenosha.

The industrial commission of the
state has started a rigid enforcement
of the law limiting the number of
hours that women and girls may be
employed in Wisconsin and agents of
the commission have been sent broad
cast through the state to make prose
cutions of factory managers, store
keepers and other employers of women
and girls who permit the girls to work
for a period of longer than eight
hours a day. The first prosecutions
were made in the northern part Of the
state where the commission insisted
that the factory owners be fined ten
dollars and costs on each offense.
The new law has been in effect
since the first of last July but the
commission has shown willingness
to allow the employers of this class of
labor to adjust their business to the
provisions Of the new statute and for
this reason arrests have not been
made sooner. Copies of the law and
interpretations Of it by the commits
sion have been placed in the hands of
the employers in Kenosha well as
in other cities and there is no longer
any reason for the violation of the
law..
Factory Inspector D. D. Evans of
Racine has been in Kenosha many
times in the past few days and he has
been keeping close tab on the en-
ployment Of girls and women in the
city. He states that most of the peo7
pie in Kenosha have cheerfully com
piled with the law, but it is known
that there are some violations and it
is pretty certain that the violators
will land in court i'll very short
time. Conditions in the stores were
readjusted months ago so as to make
it possible to bring the hours of EN-
ployment within the law and it is now
thought that the only violations in
the city are in places where only one
or two women are employed. Many of
the employers of the women have ap-
piled to Judge Randall of the NUM-
cipal court for an Interpretation Of
the law and he has aided these peo-
pie in understanding its provisions.
The industrial commission is given
entire power to enforce this law in
chapter 548 of the laws of 1911, which
limits the hours of labor for women
to ten hours day for day work and
eight hours for night work. The
maximum number of hours for night
work per week is forty EIGHT and for
day work is ffty-fve. Hours of en-
ployment in manufacturing and mer-
camille establishments must be posted
where customers may see them. A
violation of this act makes the vio-
lator guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction he may be punished
by fine of not less than SIS nor
more than 800.

BAZAAR A GREAT SUCCESS,

Total Receipts for Bazaar Given by
ST. Thomas Church Reach to S3,448.
The treasurer in charge of checking
up the funds taken in at the bazaar
given by the members of st. Thomas
church at Grosvenor Hall last week
has completed his work and the total
receipts of the fair were $3,44S.50.
OF course there were heavy expenses
connected with the management of the
fair, but the building fund of the
church will receive a goodly sum of
money as a result Of the bazaar. The
Rev. Father Malone and the members
of the church have expressed their
thanks to the people of the city for

In telling the Irish Fellowship Clul

In telling the Irish Fellowship Club
about the work being done in the pub
lie schools for the training of the deaf,
blind, crippled and truant children OF
Chicago, Mrs. Young, the superinten-
dent of schools, touched upon an ex-
cellent development of the public
school system. She showed the good
results that have come from the state g
recognition of the right of these child
rem to live at home rather than in
institutions while hey receive their
elementary education il special rooms
Of the public schools.
The "subnormal children" as these
detectives are called, include, accord
ing to the figures presented by Mrs.
Young, 243 deaf, SO blind, $50 in the
subnormal department, 155 cripples
and 81 in the truant rooms. For each
of these in the public schools the state
pays a sum considered the equivalent
of the excess over the cost of edu-
eating similarly normal child.
The best policy is to educate the
unfortunate products of our day, so
that they shall be comparatively use
full. The public schools are doing good
work in this respect and the state law
is proving its worth,--Record-Herald.

The system for highway improve
ment worked out by the board of
supervisors is believed to be as nearly
satisfactory as any that could have
been devised under the conditions with
which the board had to deal. In any
matter of this kind it is impossible
to satisfy everybody, but the results
arrived at by the board indicate that
the majority at least of the suporvi-
sors appreciated the Importance of the
problem before them and worked with
the sole view of securing the greatest
benefits to the greatest number of
people.

Dave MANHOOD, Arrested in
This County, Tells New
Horse Stealing Story.
CLAIMS TO HAVE STOLEN MANY
Man Declares He Stole Thirty-four
Horses in Less Than Year and Even
Admits He Had Part in Killing of
Man in Michigan

David MANHOOD, the horse thief ar
rested by Chief of Police Owen Q Haze
at the 3ull Frog Inn just south of Ke-
nosha on October 18th, has made a
new confession at Waukegan which
indicates that he is one Of the most
sensational criminals captured in this
section of the country in many years.
According to MANHOOD during the
year which is now rapidly drawing to
close, he has stolen at least "a
horses, every one Of which he sold for
high prices, ranging from 500 to $3.50.
According to a statement made to
Sheriff. Green some time ago, Law
hood had not always contented himself
with horse stealing. He admitted that
he had been mixed up in case over
at Coldwater, Mich, where an Italian
was killed and another wounded.
| Three years ago this summer, about
one half mile west of the depot at
Coldwater, Mich, the body of an
Italian was found. He had been
known to have cashed five pay checks
on the railroad and was thought to
have about $500 on his person.
At that time another italian, Sam
Taffet, was arrested but evidence was
not strong enough to warrant holding
him and he was released. MANHOOD is
said to have confessed that he and
two others were the ones who perpe-
trated the crime.
A partial list of the horses stolen
during the year past was given TO the
sheriff by Mawhood In none of the
cases did Mawhood know the names of
those from whom the horses were
stolen, or to whom they were sold.
lie claimed that he stole a horse
from a livery stable, under conditions
similar to the case here, at Sycamore,
drove the horse to Rochelle traded for
another better horse and rig at Ro,
chclle, and drove to DeKalb, where.
he says he sold the outfit for
about $175.
lie stole a black mare from Hobart,
Ind, and sold it for about 800. From
Woodstock, he obtained sorrei. horse
and drove with it through Darlington
selling it to farmer three miles west
Of thai village foc 500.
The finest horse of the number, he
says, he stole from the home of Sena-
tor Barr, six miles from Joliet. This
horse, Mawhood claims, he sold for
the price of $500.
From Chicago at the corner of Ar
mour avenue and Fiftieth street, Nav
hood says he obtained horse and
wagon which he sold.
He stole four horses from Joliet.
from pasture, herded them into
Chicago, where he sold them to a
horse dealer, named E. 4 Kaufman.
These later, he, together with Manner
and Birch, two other members of
the gang, were shipped to St. Louis
and accompanied the horses there.
The last horse stealing episode was
the taking Of the horse and rig from
the Austin Courson livery. He drove
it to Kenosha and then turned west.
They were captured at Bull Frog Inn,
roadhouse, by Chief Of Police 0 'Jlare
Of Kenosha.
