will be given on Thursday evening,
Sept. Fl Civil Engineer, A. W. Wynd-
ham of national fame, viii give a
stereoptiean lecture in the auditorium
of the high school on "The Strait of
Panama.
His years of experience on the spot
enable him to tell the people what
they want to known-facts not guess
work.
Mr.. Wyndham crossed the Isthmus
IN 1873 with Engineer A. W. Walker
of Jamaica in private survey.
In 1883 he was employed by the
French under Ferdinand de Lesseps in
the construction department. He was
on the spot in 1889 watching the dying
struggle of the French company. Again
in 1905 and 1906 he was in the canal
as a correspondent also working fo1
the United States commission in the
construction department. His publish
ed letters as man on the spot were
read with considerable interest in the
United States and foreign countries
and his illustrated pamphlet on the
canal construction is in big demand in
all parts of the world.
That Mr.. Wyndham is an authority
on this mammoth undertaking is be-
yond a question. AS an illustrator on
the subject he stands without peer
The proceeds of this lecture will &c

Industrial Commission Will
Seek to Aid in Enforcing
the School Attendance
FORCE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL

In outlining laws relating to compul-
sorry school attendance, the industrial
commission intends to cooperate with
parents, teachers and school authorities
in enforcing the law. Speaking of this
phase of the commission s duties, Tay-
lor Frye, deputy in charge of the divi-
sion of child labor, truancy and WON
an S labor in a statement made public
Saturday said:
''The last legislature placed part
of the responsibility for the enforce
ment of these laws upon the newly
created industrial commission. 1t is
the commissions desire to extend as
sistance in every possible way to the
end that every child in Wisconsin shall
have at least that elementary educa-
ton for which our laws SO literally
provide and upon which the future
welfare of the state and society as a
whole so largely depends.
''The law of this state requires that
all children between the ages of 7 and
Ia years, not physically or mentally in
capacitated, shall attend school as fol
lows: In Milwaukee, the entire school
year; in other cities, for eight months
in towns and villages for six months.
The law further provides that children
between the ages of ii and 16 years
who are not regularly and lawfully en-
ployed, shall attend school in like man
ner.
''Statistics show that there are more
than 100000 illiterates in Wisconsin and
the records show that during the year
ia0a-1910 more than $4,000 children be-
tween the ages of and IA years fail
ed to attend school and the required
length of time in this state.
s'These conditions should not con
tinue. Popular government has for It's
foundation the virtue and intelligence
of its people. The educational move.
ment is nation wide Child labor laws
constantly are being made more strict
because it is realized that it is better
for the chili to be in school than at
work.
ssIt is the desire of the industrial
commission to cooperate with parents
teachers, school officers and citizen;
generally in the better enforcement Of
She compulsory school attendance law,
in Wisconsin.

most of the crowd had left the field.
There Is no doubt of the interest of
Kenosha people in the airships. On
Saturday afternoon there were 1000
people paid admission into the grounds
anu twice as many more lined the road
and vacant lots adjoining the aviation
field.
In fact the. streets were so blocked
with people and automobiles that the
police had to be called to clear the
road so that the people who wanted
to pay their good money could get into
the field.
On Sunday the crowd was record
breaker for Kenosha and 1000 paid ad-
mission to the grounds while ten thous-
and were on the outside. The streets
for half mile from the grounds were
literally packed with automobiles and
in fact it seemed that there was four
times as many automobiles on the out
side as on the inside.
The managers of the Kenosha Motor
drome are entitled to high praise for
bringing the meet to Kenosha and be
it said for them that they did all in
their power to get the full show all
the time. However, the Curtiss people
could not deliver the goods as per pro
gram. One thing is certain and that
is in a meet of this kind the company
should have provided at least three
machines to take care of the program
that had been promised.

CONLEY COMES BACK
Kenosha Fighter Knocks Out
Patsy Kline at Los Angeles
Saturday Afternoon
TURNS DEFEAT INTO VICTORY

frankie Conley, the Kenosha fighter,
came back Saturday afternoon and
knocked out Patsy Kline of Newark,
New Jersey in the fourteenth round
Of what had been scheduled as
twenty round contest. The fight was
in the arena at Vernon near Los An
geles, the same arena in which Conley
had originally won recognition as a
fighter by his defeat of Monte Attell.
Conley made wonderful showing as
fighter for in the earlier rounds of
the fight it looked as if he was in
for one Of the worst beatings ever Civ
en- man Of his class. Kline boxed all
around him in the opening rounds of
the fight and in the first two rounds
Conley was in trouble. He, however.
managed to weather these early rounds
and after he had got his second fight
ing wind in the tenth round he dis
posed of the eastern fighter easily.
in the opening round of the fight
the Kenosha boy made a poor show
ing and Kline gave him wallop in
the very first round that foored him
and made him look like a loser. In
the second round Kline followed up his
advantage and it looked a lot as if
he was going to dispose of Conley be
fore the first five rounds of the fight
were over. After the fifth round Con-
!! ley began to get better and when the
tenth round was reached he was out
fighting Kline. It was the old showing
of Conley and he never began to fight
until after Kline had boxed himself
until he was so tired that he was I'M
able to withstand the wallops of Con
ley. Conley seemed to grow stronger
as the number of rounds increased and
after the tenth round he never gave
Kline minute S rest. He was boring
in all the time willing to take any
amount of punishment if he was able
| to land blow on Kline. In the four
teenth round Conley was rushing
things and Kline was evidently ex-
hausted. Early II the round Conley
landed right on the point Of the jaw
and tie yellow streak in Kline showed
lup and he went down for the count.
He got up at the count Of eight and
Conley gave linn another tap and he
fell over until the referee had counted
him sout.
At that Conely showed a great i'm
provement in form. He boxed better
and his staying qualities were just as
good as they were in the best days of
his fighting career:
| It is probable that Conley will now

There will be some good horse races
at the Kenosha Motordrome track on
Labor Day. The Racine fast ones will
be in form and expect to lower Keno
.sha's colors. NJ. D. Schmitt and J. L.
Milligan have put up 800 and they
both say they are right. Tom Scott
holds the stakes. There will be at least
twenty starters in the races and the club
is trying to get some runners and have
a quarter mile dash and running races.
Good prizes will be given. This will
probably be the last race in Kenosha
this season and is going to be cracker

HAD REFUSED ASSA|LANT DRINK
Walter 3. CEumpton Arrested on
charge of Assault With Intent to
Commit Great Bodily Harm an Hour
After the Assault was COMMITTED.

Joseph Loci, one Of the best known
mon Of the city and the proprietor of
a saloon on West Prairie avenue, was
the victim of a dastardly assault
just before eight O'Clock Sunday even
ing when he was stabbed in the neck
by man named Walter B. Crumpton.
Loef is resting easy today and will sur
vive his injuries and Crumpton is in
Jail awaiting sentence after pleading
guilty to charges of assault with intent
to do great bodily harm.
Crumpton was formerly soldier in
the United States army, but he had
lived in Kenosha for. some time. He
went to the Loef saloon Just before
the stabbing affray Sunday, night and
asked for drink. Loef, who has al
ways made it rule to refuse liquor
of any kind to an intoxicated man, at
once refused Crumpton anything and
told him to get out of the place.
Crumpton according to the story told
the police became abusive not only to
Loef but to other people in the crowd
and again demanded liquor. Loef or
dered him out of the place and started
from behind the bar to put the man
out when it is alleged that Crumpton
drew a knife from his pocket and quick
as a flash he made leap at Loef and
buried the blade of the knife in his
neck making a cut six inches in length.
Loef fell to the floor and in the ex-
element Crumpton escaped from the
place. DR.. William Pugh was called
to attend the injured man and seven
stitches we're found to be necessary to
close the wound.
In the excitement Crumpton made
good his escape and Chief of Police
0 Hare was called. The crowd had
started ont to hunt fer Crumpton and
O'Hare finally got line on him and
got on his trail. Crumpton saw the
chief of police first and started to run
FIe ran from Prairie avenue over to
the theatre on Rowland avenue and at.
tempted to make his escape by hiding
in the crowd about the theatre. Chief
O'Hare finally got the man and Landed
him in Jail.
The assault on Loci caused great ex-
element among his friends and it is
probable that had Crumpton been
caught in the neighborhood of the
Loef home that he would have had a
hard fight to keep out of the clutches
of The crowd. Loef suffered terribly
from his wound and from loss of blood
but this morning his condition showed
a marked improvement and it is not
thought that there is any danger of the
wound resulting fatally. The knife
with which Loef was cut was a long
bladed pocket knife.
Crumpton when brought before
Judge Randall this morning waived ex.
animation and admitted his gilt. He
will be sentenced before the day is
over.
Later-Crumpton was sentenced to a
term Of two years in the state prison
at Waupun and he will be taken to
prison tomorrow morning. After sent
ence was imposed Crumpton evidently
greatly surprised at getting prison
sentence declared that he would take
an appeal in the case.

The Democrats Of the House, with
the exception of &c. deserted the In
surgents. Monday. and aided the Re-
publican regulars to sustain Speaker
Cannon's ruling that proposed
amendment to the rules, offered from
the floor, does not constitute a ques-
ton Of high privilege. The proposed
amendment relatives to; the discharge
Of committees from consideration OF
bills. and the Speakers ruling merely
prevented action upon it at that time.
The vote sustaining the ruling is
hailed as a victory for the Speaker.
and as a reversal OF the House vote
OF last March. Last spring. the DEM
ocrats and Insurgents combined to
deprive the Speaker OF his control of
the Rules committee. We fail to see
how the vote Of the House on Mon
day. reversed the vote of last sspring,
burt possibly lack Of familiarity. with
House procedure explains such inabil-
ity.
AS to the failure Of all but 26 Dem
ocrats to aid the Insurgents on, Mon
day. it may be that they haven't for
gotten the campaign assertion of an In
surgent Senator to the effect that the
worst Republican is better than the
best Democrat. and are not disposed
to longer serve as the tail Of the In
surgent kite.
