The county board refused to make
an appropriation for the memorial to
the Kenosha county soldiers who serv-
ed in the war Of the rebellion on the
ground that the board had no legal
right to make any appropriation be-
cause there had been no levy made
specifically for this purpose and the
whole matter will have to lay over for
another year but as many Of the mem
bers Of the board are known to be fav
orable to the plan of erecting memoir
ial it is probable that the failure of
the special committee to agree on the
form the memorial is to take had more
to do with the postponement of the
project than anything else. However,
the plan to erect the memorial may be
regarded as merely set aside for the
time being not abandoned entirely and
the committee selected to prepare the
record Of the soldiers of the county
can proceed with their labors with con-
siderable confidence that the money
for the memorial will be forthcoming
in time. probably at the next session
of the board. It would help lot if
in the meantime some agreement could
be arrived at as to the kind of mem
orial to be erected.

WOMAN rs DISCHARGED.
Mrs. Peter DeVries Charged With
Grand Larceny Released.

Mrs. Peter DeFries also known as
Pearl Davis was arrested on Thurs
day evening by Police Officer Henry
Feldschau on the complaint of Angelo
Mangan who charged her with grand
larceny. The arrest was the result of
dancing party at one of the outlying
resorts. The woman was alleged to
have frisked the pockets of Mangan,
but when the case was called in court
this morning Mangan was there and
declared that he did not want to pro-
secute the woman. Mrs. DeVries in
sisted that she did not even put her
hands into Mangan's pockets and she
was released when Mangan paid the
costs. Later Mangan was arrested on
a statutory charge and fined ten dollars
and costs.

corridors are in a deep cream with a
stairway hall III a tan with dado en-
ameled up five feet from the floor and
with decorated stencil border. The
same scheme is used in the reception
rooms, and vestibule.
One of the most difficult problems
confronting the committee was the ar
rangement of the color scheme of the
decorations and the puzzle has been
solved in a way that is exceedingly
pleasing to the eye.
The hospital will have It's own sys-
tenn of telephones with switch board
on every floor of the building and with
arrangements for portable telephones
in every ward and private room.
The installation of the elevator is
not as yet completed but when install
ed it will be one that can be operated
with ease by the nurses. It is. oper-
ated with electric power.
The building is to be lighted by cleo
tricity and the fixtures are Of a sim
pie design constructed so as to give
the best possible light. All of the fix
lures in the interior of the building
are of brushed brass while the lights
at the approach of the building stand

Much of the furnishings for the hos
pital are now being installed and the
greater part of the furniture is of
white enamel. It is expected that all
the furniture and linen will be on
hand and stored away in the large
store rooms and closets within a few
days.
Generous provision has been made
for storage Of this linen and every floor
of the building has large closets and
linen closets to take care. of supplies.

ROSES FOR SCHOLEY
Assemblyman- Mayor Draws
$2OOBouquetat Openingof
His Term at Madison
STILL KEEPS WIRES At WORK

Assemblyman- Mayor Scholey may not
have been elected to lead the democ-
racy in the legislature Of the state
but at that he is to have the honor of
being the first new member Of the as
sembly to get his picture in the paper.
Thursday afternoon Milwaukee papers
carried handsome picture Iof the
Mayor and told the story of great
bouquet of American beauty roses
which the Assemblyman received when
he took his seat at Madison on We'd
nesday. Here is one of the stories
sent out by the special writer's in the
Assembly at Madison.
"Mayor M. j. Scholey of Kenosha
who represents Kenosha county in the
state legislature, appears to be one. of
the prominent members of the assem-
bly, and was remembered by his con-
stituents when the assembly convened
yesterday. Mayor Scholey had strong
following in Kenosha county. That
fact was evidenced at the last cleo
ton when he as head Of the democratic
ticket in that county carried every
candidate for county Office, with but
one exception, into Office with him.
Then when Mayor Scholey took his
seat in the assembly yesterday he was
remembered by his constituents and
the men he carried into Office.
Hardly had the oath been admins
tered by Chief Justice John B. Win
slow to the hundred assemblymen in
a body, and the first call of the roll
started, when page walked down the
center aisle and Landed an immense
box of American beauties on the desk
of Mayor M. j. Scholey of Kenosha,
the democrat who was elected to re-
present the republican county of Ken.
osha in this assembly.
Evidently it is some honor repre-
senting that old republican county, or
is SO regarded by Mayor scholey's
democratic constituents, for soon af
ter the receipt of the roses the ser
geant handed him a sheaf of kilograms
from Kenosha, and just before his
name was called to go up and sign the
membership roll Clerk Shaffer called
him to the desk to receive another
bunch Of wires. :,

UNION NO SUNDAY CLOSING SEE WOMAN Burglar
Too Many Patrons of ?. O..
Want Mail Sunday to Make
New Plan Possible
OTHER CITIES CLOSE OFFICES

The Kenosha post office is not to
have any part in the big movement
that is sweeping over the country to
provide for the closing of post offices
on Sunday as it is declared that so
many patrons of the Kenosha post
office use the Office on Sunday that any
plan to close it would meet with deter
mined opposition. Clerks organizations
IN many cities are now conducting a
crusade to have the offices closed. At
Waukegan formal order has been is
sued permitting the closing of the of
fee all day Sunday and in Racine the
clerks and carriers of the Office have
sent out 5000 postal cards to take q
referendum vote among the patrons of
the office there. Keno sha clerks hold
that while they would be greatly in
terested in the plan and while they are
eager to secure the full Sunday holi-
day, they feel that Kenosha people
would not stand for the innovation.
Kenosha is a Sunday town in many
ways and one of the best patronized in
stitutions in the city on Sunday is the
post Office.
Postmaster John B. Maloney when
seen said: F'The matter Of closing the
office on Sunday has been discussed as
many times as the matter has been
brought up in other cities but it is
pretty certain that such a plan would
be decidedly unpopular in Kenosha.
Nearly every factory in Kenosha wants
its mail on Sunday, the same as any
other day and there are fully five hun
dred patrons of the office who line up
at the carrier windows every Sunday
morning to get the mail. In addition
to this there are scores who get box
mail on Sunday. The work of the
clerks in the Kenosha office is decided
ly heavy on week days and they are
as much entitled to the entire Sunday

country but we try to maintain the Of
flee for the accommodation of the PEG
pie of the city and I should be unwill-
ing to recommend the closing of the
Office against protest such as [ feel
certain there would be. +"
The Kenosha post office has total
of $4,000 patrons and it would be quite
task to secure the opinion of all of
these patrons. 1t is thought possible
that a majority of the residence pat
rons of the Office would be willing to
have the Office closed all day Sunday
but it is certain that the plan would be
opposed by business and professional
men who have made it practice for
many years to get their mail Sunday
morning. Among the foreigners Sun
day is great day for going to the
post Office and many of them do not go
to the office any other day in the
week. Several times in the past the
question of closing the office on Sunday
has been brought up but every time
the same result has been found.

OLD OFFICIALS REELECTED.
Usual Fines are Assessed Against Alb
sent Members and Most of the Meet
ing is Spent Laying Plans for Next
Years Meeting.

Plans for a big reunion of all the
pioneer fire fighters in Kenosha were
made at the annual meeting of the
members of the Kenosha Volunteer Fire
Department held at the council cham
Der at the city hall on Wednesday ev-
ening and if the plans of the depart
ment are carried out the reunion and
banquet will be one of the most unique
gatherings of the old timers held in
Kenosha in years. Efforts will be made
to have every one of the members of
the volunteer companies present at tie
the annual meeting. The volunteers
arc thinning out rapidly and some of
them have removed to other cities but
it is thought that all of them would
return to Kenosha for this event. There
will be no lack of funds to pay the ex
penses of the reunion as it has been
suggested that the money divided an
nually among the volunteers be used
to provide for this entertainment. All
Of it will not be needed but there will
be money enough to insure the success
of the venture.
The annual meeting of the volunteers
was attended by just fifty per cent of
the surviving members of the various
fire companies, the secretary's roll call
showing that twenty-three of the mem
bers of the various companies were as
sessed the usual dollar fine for being
absent. President George Wallis pre-
sided and the greater part of the ev-
ening was spent in discussing the plans
for the proposed reunion and banquet
to be held next year. This year the
volunteers received $17.75 each as their
share of the per cent of insurance prem
iuns collected by the city during the
year 1909. The amount paid to the
volunteers is not as large as in former
years as under the state fremen Is law
one-half of the amount collected must
be paid into the fremen s pension fund.
The reports of the various officials Of
the department. were read and referred
to the auditing committee after which
the officers for the new year were elect
ed. This was little more than a form
as the officials most Of whom have serv-
ed for years were all named for another
year.
The officers follow:
President, George Wallis; vice presi-
dent, Charles II. Goodman; secretary,
Fred w. Becker; treasurer, Charles G.
Brown collector, Philip Hartman.
A committee was named to have
charge of the annual reunion and ban
quet and this committee will work out
details and announce them at the close
of the present year when the directors
of the department. hold their annual
meeting.

TO MEET O'TOOLE.
Kenosha Bantamlweight Champion to
Box Before Philadelphia Club.

Articles have been signed for bout
between frankie Conley, the Kenosha
bantamweight champion and Tommy
O'Toole, the Eastern fighter, which
is to be pulled off before Jack o.
Brien s club in Philadelphia some time
in February. O'Brien has also agreed
to match Conley against Battling Mel
son for six round bout to be pulled
off before the same club later in the
year. Conley has long been anxious
to break into the Eastern clubs and
it is probable that he will be kept
busy fighting in Philadelphia and
New York if he makes good at the
coming battles. Conley will leave for
the East just as soon as his match
with Coulon at New Orleans is over.

VALUADLES WERE ALL PACKED
Return of Mrs. Herzog Just as Burg
lar Had Competed Work Prevented
the Looting of the Burglary
Mysterious One

The police of the city are Investigate
ing mysterious burglary which took
place at the residence of w. E. Her
zog, a we'll known bookkeeper at the
offices of the Badger Brass company
several days ago and the story gath
ers interest on account of the fact that
it is thought possible that the burglary
was committed by woman. There
was no one in the house at the time
the entrance to the house was made
and Mrs. Herzog returning home from
a card party just after five O'Clock
discovered the burglar or burglars at
work iii the upper rooms of the house.
The burglars had planned to make d
thorough robbery of the house and evil
IDENTIFY knew that Mrs. Herzog was
away and had gone to the house and
spent an hour in packing up silverware,
jewelry and other valuables. A large
amount of silver and plates had been
taken from the dining room of the
house and wrapped in paper and hidden
under the hall tree in the hall of the
house. Every room in the house had
been visited and in the upper rooms
bureau drawers had been dumped out
on the floor and everything of value
selected from their contents Mrs
Herz0g hearing some one in the house
ran to the home of neighbor and
summoned aid and when she returned
she found that the burglars had left.
Tie only clew to the identity of the
guilty parties was small foot prints in
the snow and these appeared to have
been made by woman. The case was
reported to the police and it has been
kept secret in order to give the Off
Gals chance to make the fullest pos
sible investigation. The burglars got
away with a valuable ring and fob
which had belonged to Mr.. Herzog
The fob was found in the snow in
front of the house but the ring seems
to be gone. The burglars had more
than 5000 worth of loot wrapped in
papers and blankets evidently ready to
be carried away when their presence
in the house was discovered Mrs. Her
zog is defender of her own sex and
she declared today that she did not
think that the burglary was the work
of a woman but that it was the work
of the gang of boy burglars who have
been working in Kenosha for the past
two years. No arrests have as yet
been made in connection with the case.

1t. is pointed out that there is one
feature of the postal savings bank law
to which little attention has been paid,
but which in practice is likely to prove
of considerable social service. That is
the provision of the law which makes
the deposits Of married women and chill
dren free from the interference or con-
troll of anyone save the depositor, The

many woman whose earnings are
Communicated by brutal and drunk

worthless father full control, the pos
tai savings bank will offer its aid for
the accumulation of financial indie
pendence. It will help put an end to
what has aptly been called the PAD
rome system. that obtains in too many
poor families, where everybody works
but father. y For this reason there

CHARGES AGAINST MORGAN.
Kenosha Man Sent to Federal Prison
Charged With Many Violations.

Albert M. Morgan the Kenosha man
recently sentenced to the Federal pris-
on at Fort Jay after being convicted
by a general court martial in the army
had many charges against him. The
report of the court martial was receiv-
ed By Chief of Police O'Hare this
morning and it shows total of eight
charges. Seven of these charges were
for securing money in various parts Of
Virginia through the issue Of worthless
checks. The other charge was for de-
sertion. Morgan was found guilty of
half of the charges. The record Of the
court shows that Morgan will be re.
leased from the Federal prison on May
% and the police have been instructed
to- send warrant for his arrest for
wife abandonment to the officials of
the fort for service at the time of his
release.

Richard Michel Found to
Have Been Caught by a
Fake Matrimonial ad
LOANS WOMAN HIS SAVINGS

Richard Michel Kenosha man who
resides at the Schlitz hotel was one
Of the star witnesses at a hearing be-
fore Federal Court Commissioner Mark
A. Foote in Chicago on Thursday af-
ternoon which resulted in Miss Eleanor
Rembrant and Louis A. Steinbrook be-
ing held to answer charge of using
the United States mails to defraud. 1t
is thought possible that the Rembrant
woman is also from Kenosha and that
the name under which she was held for
trial is an assumed one. The woman is
alleged to have caught several vic
TINS, among others Michel by the use
of q matrimonial ad and Michel seems
to have been willing victim. Kenosha
got it's first touch Of the story on
Thursday morning, when the police re-
ceiyed telegram from the police in
Chicago asking that Michel be inform
ed that "Louise Hartung'' was under
cago at once. Michel went down on
the early train Thursday morning and
later in the day learned how he had
been duped by woman. Michel ad-
1nitted that he had given the woman
800 after he had made arrangements
to marry her and another dupe Richard
Seifert who resides in Chicago had
contributed 5000 to the treasury Of the
woman. 1t is alleged that all the mon
.ey secured by the woman was turned
over to Steinbrook who used it to gam
BILE on the open board of trade in Chi
cage and the money has been lost.
There is no chance for any of the vic
Tins to recover any of the money that
was secured from them.
To Michel the woman was known as
Louise Hartung and on the stand Mich
ell stated that he had answered the
matrimonial advertisement of the wo-
man and that he had twice gone to
Chicago to meet her. He admitted
that on the occasion of the second visit.
the woman had declared to him that
she was short of funds and that he had
reluctantly loaned her 800. This was
the last time he had seen the woman
until he was called by the telegram
from the Chicago police.
The Federal officials are still investi-
eating the case and it is probable that
they will come to Kenosha with the
expectation of finding some other vic
tins of the man and the woman in
this city.
