Russian Seeking Divorce Alleges Wife
Threatened to Kill Him.

Joel Kleinan, well known among the
Russians of Kenosha, has fled a suit
in the circuit court demanding a di-
voree from his wife, Molly Kleinan, on
charges of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. In his complaint the husband
alleged that he married his wife in
Russian in 1899 and that short time
after the marriage he came to Kenosha
and made home for her, but when
he asked her to come to this country
she refused. Later he declares he dis
covered that she had come to this
country with her cousin and that they
had been known as husband and wife.

the care of his wife and child in New
York, but that when he went there
and attempted to bring the two to Ke-

MODERN PLANT FOR FROST CO.
Brass Company Has Big Plans for the
Future bnt Uses to Which the New
Property Will be Put are Not Made
Public at the Present Time.

t BY deal completed late Friday al,
ternoon the land and buildings of the
Frost Manufacturing company located
at the corner of Pleasant and Elizabeth
streets, were sold to the Chicago Brass
company and the sale will pave the
way for the erection of a splendid and
thoroughly modern plant for the uses
OK the Frost company. The deal will
in no way interfere with the business
of the Frost Manufacturing company
as the company will have the use of
the present plant for six months pend
ing the completion of the new and more
modern plant.
The land sold consists of two acres
anu it completes the block now occu-
pied by the buildings and plant of the
Chicago Brass company. The buildings
sold were originally built for the uses
of the Badger Brass company ten years
ago and it is said that it is not the
intention of the Brass company to make
any effort to use the buildings unless
it be for storage purposes.
w. ]. Frost, head of the Frost Man
ufacturing company, when seen this
morning said: For some time we have
realized our need of plant better
fitted for our business and the further
fact that our room here was decidedly
limited. On the other hand the brass
company wanted to have more land for
future extensions and we had little
trouble in getting together. We are
negotiating for site for new plant
and we hope to have the buildings com
pleted in six months. The proposed
new location of the plant has not been
definitely decided on but we have sew
eral sites under consideration and will
close deal for one of them in 9, few
days. The factory buildings we have
are shown to be unsuited for our uses
and with the building of the new plant
we will be able to greatly enlarge the
plant and have it built with view of

new CONTRACTS OUT
Big Milk Companies Offer
Farmers Lower Rate Than
Last Year for Six Months
FARMERS MAY REFUSE TO SIGN

Milk dealers throughout Kenosha
county are signing new contracts for
the sale of their product during the
next six months and the new contracts
will go into effect on the 1irst of
October. There is plenty of time for
the milk producers to fight the con-
tracts and it is possible that there
will be some strong contest on the
matter among the farmers in the
county. Some of them, h owever, have
elready signed contracts for the new
contract period and it is understood
that the managers of the big bottling
plants in this county o not anticipate
any determined opposi tion among pro-
ducers in this county,. The contract
offered at this time provide a price
of 77a cents lower per 100 pounds than
the contracts made for the same period
year ago. An o'rer supply of milk
is given as the cause for the reduction
of the price to be, paid. The prices
offered are much lower than the prices
demanded by the milk shippers union,
that union having asked slight in
crease over the prices paid during the
same period in 1910. The prices of
fered by the companies for the six
month s period are as follows:

George H. Allen, manager for the
brass company, when seen said: "We
have bought the Frost holdings simply
to get more land to take care OF future
growth of the business. The company
has many things planned for the future
and we felt the need of this land to
complete the block and to offer a
chance for the carrying out of these
plans now on paper. If business con-
ditions improve we plan for further
building, but this is matter for the
future and it may be some time before
the new plant is utilized. The Frost
company will have plenty of time to get
the new plant erected and make the
change. The plans for our building will
probably be taken up at an early meet
ing of the board of directors

FOR AN OLD CRIME
H.T.Robinson Charged With
Robbing st. Paul Theatre
Nine Months Ago
WAS IN ON RECTOR ROBBERY


Harry 7. Robinson. former Kenosha
saloonkeeper and man who has been
pretty closely connected with the gamb-
ling fraternity in Chicago during the
past few years, was arrested in Chica-
go Friday Afternoon by detectives
from st. Paul charged with being i'm
plicated in the robbery of the Schubert
Theatre in that city last January. The
detectives who made the arrest assert
that Robinson was the ring leader of
the gang who held up the Waterman
at the theatre and got away with
$500. The crime was so well cover
ed up that the members of the gang
escaped and detectives have been
searching all over the country for
them since. Two other arrests have
been made In connection with the
crime, but the detectives declaring
Robinson the ringleader Of the gang,
refused to give out the names Of the
other men arrested Robinson has not
been seen in Kenosha in many years
and his last appearance was when he
was connected with the sensational
kidnapping of his little daughter. The
fight over the child occupied the atten-
tion of the courts IN several of the
states in the union and the custody
of the child was finally awarded to its
mother who is daughter of Carl Skot-
ski, the janitor of the court house.
Mrs. Robinson secured a divorce from
Robinson some time ago and has since
been living in Chicago.
Robinson was alleged to have fgur-
ed in the robbery of the Rector cafe in
Chicago some time ago and it is al
legged by the police that Robinson held
up the thief who robbed the cafe and
secured nearly $4,000 from HIM. Robin
son has never been brought to trial on
the charges connected with the Rector
robbery and is now under bonds. He
has announced that he will fight anv
effort to take him 10 Minnesota for
trial on the charge of robbing the
Schubert Theatre there.

ISSUE NEW MORTGAGE BOMBS
It is Expected That United States
Court Judge Will Sign Order Permit
ting Reorganization Of the Company
Within a Few Days

Details Of the plan for the reorgani-
cation of the Chicago Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway company have been per
fected and made public and it is prob
able that Judge Grosscup Of the federal
court in Chicago will sign an order
within a few days permitting the re-
organization of the big traction com
pany, the affairs of which have been
in the hands of receivers for about
three years.
it is learned that new corporation,
Incorporated in Illinois, will acquire
the properties of both the old Illinois
and Wisconsin railroad companies. The
new corporation will issue 100000
first mortgages per cent bonds,
$5,000,0O0 A per cent second income
bonds and $6,OOo,OoO of stock, all of
one class.
The new mortgage bonds will be used
to retire the $1,000,000 Of 6 per cent
receivers certificates, to retire the
$l,0S0,00 underlying first mortgage
bonds of the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric Railway company and to pro-
vide new capital. The underlying first
mortgage bonds are callable on any in
terest date at los and interest.
The other new securities will be dis
5ributed as follows: The 100000 first
income bonds will be exchanged dollar
for dollar, for the 100000 first mort
gage per cent bonds Of the Illinois
division Chicago & Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway company; the $4,000, 900
second income bonds will be exchanged
fer $l0,000,0o0 Wisconsin division
bonds.
The holders of the Wisconsin bonds
will also receive the entire issue of
$6,O00,000 stock and consequently will
manage the property.
While the stockholders and bondhold-
ers have not yet decided what action to
take on the plans for reorganization
there is every reason to believe that
when the plans are made known to
them they will be accepted and the re-
ceivers will turn over the property to
the new organization. The names of
the promoters of the new organization
are not made public but it is understood
that Chicago bankers and railroad men
are interested and as soon as the re.
organization is completed interurban
ears of the Chicago Milwaukee line will
run into Chicago.
The United States court in Chicago
has allowed w. o. Johnson, managing
receiver of the Chicago Milwaukee
Electric line, $9,375 salary for his serv-
ices in his capacity as receiver from
Feb. L to Sept. and the court has
also ordered that Johnson be paid
$500 per month for all future services
for the road.

FELL FROM A TRAIN.
Oscar Vaelzke Of Milwaukee Badly
Bruised in Fall From Train.

Oscar Vaelzke, residing at 1902 North
Avenue, Milwaukee, is at the Kenosha
hospital suffering from severe bruises
received on Thursday night, Just be-
fore eight clock, when he slipped and
fell from train at the Northwestern
station. The man staggered into the
station few minutes after the acct
dent and later became unconscious.
He was removed to the hospital and
DR.. II. A. Robinson called to attend
him. There is a lot of mystery IN re-
gard to the accident even the injured
man being unable to tell just how it
occurred. 1t is thought, however, that
he attempted to get on a moving train
and was thrown heavily to the plat
form. His injuries are for the most
part bad bruises and the physicians in
attendance announces that he win be
able to leave the hospital within a
few days.

Well Known Woman Died Thursday
Night After Long Illness.

Mrs. Louisa Olsen Theleen, aged SO
years, wife of Charles G. Thelean and
well known woman of the city, died
at the family residence on Jenne
street late Thursday night after long
illness from complication of diseases.
Mrs. Theleen had been an. invalid for
more than five years and on last Sun
day she was stricken with paralysis.
Since that time she had been uncon-
scious and her death was not unex-
pected
Mrs. Theleen was born in Sweden
March 4, 1848. She came to this
country when young woman and set
tied with her husband in Chicago, but
at the time of the Chicago fire in 1871
their property was destroyed and a few
years later they removed to Kenosha
where they had since made their home.
Mrs. Theleen was a devoted Christian
woman and for years was very active
in the work of the First Baptist church.
She is survived by her husband and
eight children, Mrs. Thomas Marx, Chi
cago; Mrs. John Soderberg, Orebro,
Sweden; Lieutenant Commander D. e..
Theleen of the United States navy,

of Omaha, Neb.; Mrs. Albert Ander-
son of Chicago; Miss Eva Theleen of
River Falls and Oscar H. and Gust D.
Theleen of Kenosha.

The city officials have about reach
ed the point where they cannot stand
the complaints of the people living
along the route of the sewer over the
failure of the contractors to do the
back filing any longer and the plan
now is to have the work done by the
city and charge up the cost of it to
the contractors holding it out on them
when the final settlement is made.
This plan will satisfy the property
owners who have no particular inter
est in who does the work so long as
it is done and they are entitled to
more consideration than has been SO
far shown them. This action if taken
will probably involve the city in an
other law suit for it is not likely that
the representatives of the city and the
engineers of the contractors will be
any more able to agree on what is a
fair price for the city to charge for
this work than they have been on the
cost Of the extras on that part of the
sewer supposed to be completed and
paid for. However, the way things
are going, one little law suit more or
less will not make very much difference
except as it gives the contractors one
more hold on the city. .

High School Committee De-
cides to Offer a Two Years
Business Course
ONLY FOR OLDER STUDENTS

The high school committee of the
school board at meeting Thursday
afternoon approved of the adoption OF
commercial course of two years to
be added to the other high school
courses.
This is planned to benefit those who
can attend school only two years. 1t
is not substitute for the four year
course now in operation, which is in
no way affected by this new movement
Only those will be encouraged to
take this course who come up with an
excellent record from an eighth grade
or its equivalent in preparation.
While the age limit fixed for entrance
to this grade is sixteen years, this reg.
ulation will be somewhat flexible, de-
pending upon the maturity and other
qualifications of the candidates.
/ The schedule of studies consists of
English, two full years, bookkeeping,
three semesters, shorthand and type
writing, arithmetic and civics.
A certificate will be given at the
completion of the course.
The regular four year course will
be required of the less mature students,
it being the belief of the committee
ana Of the commercial teachers that
boys and girls can scarcely be fitted
to enter upon an office position of re-
sponsibility before they are eighteen
years of age.
It is hoped that this course will at
tract back into school some who, feel
ing that they could not afford to spend
four years in passing the high school,
have, perhaps, entered some industrial
occupation.
This course, like the proposed indus
trial course is a further attempt to
make Kenosha s high school minister
in a practical way to the needs Of her
boys and girls.
