Associated Charities of Ken
osha Holds First Meeting
as Demanded by Charter
MONEY IS NEEDED FOR WORK

The first meeting of the Associated
Charities of E3nosha held under its
constitution, and in accordance with
the requirements of its articles of in
corporation by the state, was held
Thursday afternoon. A committee was
appointed to report at meeting to
be held next Tuesday, a list Of directors
SO that the required number shall be
reached. While 1t may seem to some
that the organization is proceeding
slowly, it should be borne in mind that
the work being done now is the foun-
dalton work for that which shall en-
dure for many years to come. We are
building not for today, not for year;
or a decade, but for a generation at
least. The advance is being made as
rapidly as is cnsistent with wisdom.
The matter of paid general secretary
is being carefully investigated, and &C
tion looking to the securing of such
an official and to renting an office which
shall be headquarters for the Associat-
ed Charities, will be taken in the very
near future, we believe. From every
direction come tokens of interest and
words of earnest encouragement; and
these will increase as more and more
the real nature and the practical value
of this movement, together with it's
wide reaching influence is realized. The
public will be kept iii touch with the
steps Of progress as they are made.
1t is a matter of qualification to
record that Kenosha Comnandery No.
80, Knights Templar, is the first or
ganization to send a contribution to
the society's treasury. The amount
of fifty dollars is in the hands of the
treasurer today. The first Offering
was that Of the amount received in the
offering of the last Thanksgiving Day
union service. The treasurer, Mr.. Will
lam Purnell, will be glad to receive and
acknowledge gifts to any amount, how
ever small, however large, to the many
and large needs of the treasury of

THINK THIEVES WERE AT MASS
Father Elskanlp Believes That Parties
Who Robbed the Boxes Concealed
Themselves in the Church During
Morning Service.

Report was made to the police on
Friday afternoon that the three poor
boxes in ST. George church had been
robbed some time Friday morning or
y early after dinner. The thieves are
supposed to have secured less than
a dollar in small change but they car
ried off one of the boxes. This is the
second time that the church has been
robbed in a fortnight and the Rev. B.
Elskafnp, pastor of the church is urg-
ing the police to take every possible
step TO arrest and prosecute the peo
pie to blame for the petty thievery.
The first robbery was committed dur
ing Christmas week and it is pretty
certain that both crimes were commit
ted by the same people as paddock
stolen at the time the boxes were open
ed before was returned by the thieves
on Friday and laid behind one of the
boxes. Father Elskamp when seen on
Friday afternoon declared it was his
belief that the thieves had attended
the church services at the church on
Friday morning and had concealed
themselves in the church until after
the people had left the building and
had then committed the crime. The
boxes are all located near the vesti-
bule Of the church and after they had
been looted it would be an easy matter
for the thieves to slip out of the
church and get away.
Father Elskamp believes that the
robbery of the boxes is blamable to
the nickel theatres. He asserts that
many of the boys are accustomed to
attending the five cent shows and that
now that they are out of work they
have robbed the poor boxes in order
to get the nickels to pay their way
into these shows.
st. George church is not the only
church that has suffered from the Wis
it's of these daylight robbers as a short
time ago the boxes at ST. James church
were robbed and at that time the
thieves got several dollars for their
trouble. On account of the continued
robberies of these collection boxes the
priests of the various churches have
adopted a plan of emptying the boxes
daily SO that at no time could the rob
hers secure more than few cents for
their trouble and for the chance they
take in committing the crime.

WAR ON CIGARETTES
Complaints Made to Supt. of
Schools Against Use
By School Boys
MAY DEMAND LAW ENFORCED

Complaints are being made TO the
school officials of the city of the fact
that school boys many of them under
the age of sixteen years have been
smoking cigarettes about the school
grounds and about the streets of the
city and these complaints promise to
result in more rigid enforcement of
the state law against the sale Of the
paper pipes in Kenosha. So far as
Kenosha is concerned the law has been
something of dead letter but Mrs.
Bradford, Superintendent of the city
schools has had this matter brought to
her notice in such pertinent way that
she may be forced to ask the officials
of the city and county to take action
to stop the smoking of cigarettes
among the small boys of the city. There
has been no great effort to prevent the
sale of the forbidden Smokes in the
city but the sale Of them has been car
ried on in sub-rosa manner and for
the most part there have not been any
great complaints on the dealers. 1t
seems that some of the dealers are sell
ing papers and tobacco to the small
boys and this has aroused the howl of
protest. Superintendent Bradford has
shown herself perfectly competent to
take up and fight out these infringe
ments of the law and it is pretty Ger.
tain that if she starts crusade against
the sale of cigarettes in Kenosha that
the sale will be stopped and stopped
effectually, However, the school lead
er is not pining for any such fight
and she believed that the smoking
among the school boys will be stopped
without court action. Under the law
the child under sixteen who smokes
cigarettes may be arrested and fined
as we'll as the dealer who sells him the
"makins. The matter has been dis.
cussed between the officials and it is
certain that formal action will be TAX
en- if the sale is not stopped and stop
ped without further delay.

sTNNETT CASE ENDED.
Former Police Officer Must Give Bond
to Pay for Support Of Child.

TO ray Tor support OF Child.
Former police officer Adolphus SIN
nett arrested at Marinette some time
ago on charges Of bastardy preferred
by Mrs. Anna Foth of this city will be
released from Jail just as soon as he
furnishes bond to secure the payment
for keeping the child of which he is
adjudged by the court to be the faith
er. He must pay the mother of the
child ten dollars month for an in
definite time and before he can be re-
leased from Jail he must furnish bond
to insure the payment Of this amount.
In addition to this Sinnett must pay
the costs Of the action amounting TO
$51. The court did not impose any fur
Their sentence on the former policeman
and it is pretty certain that this will
be sufficient to hold him for some time.
Sinnett has not as yet been able to
furnish the bond but it is expected that
some of his relatives will aid him In
meeting this provision of the court.

MANY EVENTS BEING PLANNED

Friday evening, February 8, the
school and it's friends will have one of
the finest lecturers Of this part of the.
country give a lecture on some Of the
most interesting phases of ancient
Greece. The lecturer will be Prof.
Wright of Beloit College, who is re-
cognized as one of the best Greek
scholars in the United States. He will
have with him some excellent lantern
slides to illustrate his talk, and these

penses of the lecture will be met by

ium. This will fill long felt want
and give the boys who take part in
the various athletics of the school
place to keep their suits. Locks will
be provided for each locker. The next
thing desired for the gymnasium is
some shower baths. We hope to have
these in the near future.

representatives of the senior classes

of the state. Miss Shepherd is work
ing with Miss Dewey who is graduate
of the Northwestern school of oratory
at Evanston, and with Prof. Lardner

among the prize winners, if not the one
to bring back to Kenosha the highest
honors. The title of Miss Shepherd s
selection is, "John Bagot's Repent

JONES and R|LEYIN FAST DRAW
Initial Show of the Kenosha Athletic
Association Draws Big Crowd and
Crowd is Enthusiastic over the Out
come of the Bouts.

Billy Ellison the Kenosha fighter put
it all over Fighting Edwards of
Milwaukee in the wind up of the in
itial show given by the Kenosha Ath-
letic Association at the Goldberg Aud
itorium on Friday evening but Edwards
managed to clinch and stall for eight
rounds and prevented Ellison from
landing knock out blow. Edwards
should be known as Wrestling Ed
wards for at every possible chance he
went to elinch and much of the bout
he was wrestling with the Kenosha
man. Ellison did large majority of
the leading and several times he had
Edwards on the ropes but he did not
seem to be able to follow up his ad-
vantage and land knock out. Ed
wards did not seem to want to fight
and kept away from Ellison all the
time. Ellison on the other hand had
the better of every round save the
first in which honors were about even.
The whole fight was good deal Of a
Glowing match for while Ellison
seemed ready to stand up md box he
could not prevent Edwards from rush
ing in and stalling and the referee was
kept busy breaking the fighters.
The real bout of the evening was the
second go between Young Riley (Leo
Crane), of Chicago and Harry Jones
of Kenosha 1t was rafting good
draw and had any decision been given
the Kenosha boy would have had
shade but it was such light shade
that no referee would have allowed it.
The two boys went into the ring at 1873
pounds and they fought until they were
exhausted. The first two rounds of
the fight, all Of which was with Jones
was a fast piece Of fighting. The two
boys mixed it and they mixed it right
and at the end of the round Jones had
the Chicago boy hanging on to the
ropes. In the third Riley came back
strong and landed on Jones for knock
down and Jones took the count. The
two fought furiously in this round but
after this both were so tired that
neither had strength enough to land q
knock out. Jones played for wind and
in the seventh and eighth rounds he
went after Riley again but he could
not land a wallop which would put the
visiting boy out. Jones gives evidence
of being real fighter and his conduct
in future will be watched with a great
deal of interest by Kenosha fight fans.
The first bout Of the evening was
between Kid Hertz and Willie Collins
Of Kenosha and the boys met at catch
weights. 1t was a rough and tumble
bout and Hertz was the popular choice
as winner. No decisions were rendered
in any of the fights and they were pull
ed off strictly in keeping with the law.
The first show of the new association
was success III every way. More
than four hundred people attended the
show and the auditorium proved to be
an excellent place for holding the
bouts. The big hall with the ring
pitched in the center Of it offers a
chance for staging fights before
crowd of $500 people and it is pos
sible that the success Of this first show
will lead the promoters to arrange for
some more pretentious shows in the
future. The crowd took kindly to the
bouts and the second 60 reused great
enthusiasm
