Annual Inspection of Rural
Schools Finds Them in
First Class Condition
ENROLMENT SETS RECORD

County Superintendent John J. Ker-
win and State Inspector of Graded
Schools George H. Drury Of Madison,
reached Kenosha this morning after
making an inspection of all the graded
schools in Kenosha county outside the
city. The work of inspection was start
ed last Monday morning and the two
officials have been ON their way ever
since that time and during the week
they have visited every "little red
school house, and all of the larger
school houses around the county. The
officials declare that the schools of the
county are in excellent condition and
few changes will be demanded by the
state department. Minor defects in
some of the buildings were discovered
but for the most part the state inspec
tor was highly pleased with the condi-
tion of the schools in the county.
"We have made very rigid inspec-
tion of the various county schools, !"
said superintendent Kerwin, "and we
are pleased to say that the inspection
showed that everything was in good
condition. The schools of the county
are growing rapidly and the attendance
in the various districts in the county
is the largest in the history Of the
graded schools of the county. The en-
rollment This year will pass the 2200
mark and more than so teachers are
employed in taking care of the instruc-
ton of the children. Many innovations
arc being introduced in the county
schools and we are making an effort to
keep them in the front rank of the
schools in the rural districts in Wis
consin. Inspector Drury seemed to be
well pleased with conditions as he
found them in the schools and I GER
tainly believe that they never were in
better condition"

Helen DWelle Jenkins OfN.Y.
Files Action to RecoyerVast
Sum from Kenosha Man
SAYS HER PROPERTY WAS TAKEN

The latest development in the Allen
case i'll New York came on Wednesday
afternoon when Nathan Allen of this
city, who recently pleaded equity"
to charges of smuggling, was named as
defendant in a suit brought by Helen
Dwelle Jenkins, the woman who is al
legged to have given the information
on which Allen was indicted for SNUG
Cling by the federal grand jury.
Mr.. Allen was in Kenosha on Monday
and Tuesday but returned to New York
on Tuesday evening accompanied by
his wife and members Of his family.
The suit brought by Mrs. Jenkins has
been expected for some time and it is
claimed by Allen IS friends that this is
simply another step in the plan Of the
woman to extort large sum of money
from him.
Mrs. Jenkins is suing for the recov-
cry of stocks and notes alleged to have
been taken from safe deposit box of
the Illinois Trust Company in Chicago,
some time in the fall of 1909.
Her bill of complaint also calls for
restitution for "The Cavalier by
Shreyer, which she says Allen purchas-
ed for her at Knoedler's in Paris for
$4,000, had shipped to Knoedler's in
New York in her name, and which he
withheld from her.
Likewise her bill sets forth that AL
len purchased for her while in Europe
pair Of pearl earrings for $4,000
and a pearl and diamond necklace for
about $4,000, and for these sne asks
full restitution
The stock for which she is suing con
sists Of shares Of the Southern Coal
Company Of the par value of $4,000.
The notes, it is alleged, were made
by John r. Collins of Memphis, Tenn,
organizer of the Southern Coal Com
pany and friend of Mrs. Jenkins be-
fore she had known Allen, for loan
of 100000 by Allen. 1t appears from
the suit that Collins had paid off
$4,000 of the loan. The remainder, or
$4,000, was represented by time notes
which were Endorsed over to Mrs. Jen.

A good many of the burgaries and
minor crimes committed in the city
have been charged up to the inmates of
the tramp camps south and west of
the city on general principles, but these
charges may not be so far out of The
way after all. These men certainly
have no visible means of support and
yet they live and live pretty we'll too.
That being the case it might be well
for the county officials to break up the
camps and keep them broken up and
in that way get at the root of the evil
Use preventive measures for a while
and see what effect that would have in
cutting down the number OF burglaries
and petty larcenies throughout the city,
driving the suspects out before they
have an opportunity to do any damage.
This action would entail considerable
work on the sheriff Office and might
require the addition Of several deputies
to his forces for time, but there is
an old adage to the effect that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure" that might be made to apply
in this case

{. A. HATFIELD new MANAGER
Prominent Man in Implement Business
at Omaha Comes to Kenosha to be
Sales Manager for the Balm Wagon
Company.

There is going to be new blood and
new faces in the management of the
Balm Wagon Company as announce
ment IS made today that Samuel G.
Newman, for many years associated with
the business of the company and since
the death of the late Frank Slosson
the assistant secretary of the company,
has resigned his position and E. A.
Hatfield of Omaha, Neb., a man widely
known in the implement world, will
come to Kenosha to accept the office
OF assistant secretary and general
sales manager of the company. Mr..
Hatfield will give much of his time to
complete reorganization of the sell
ing force Of the company and it is ex-
pected that under his management the
business of the company will be widely
extended.
In retiring from the long connection
with the Balm Wagon Company Mr..
Newman will give his entire time to
the management of the interests of
the Balm and Newell families.
In this work Mr.. Newman will take
up the work of the late Frank Slosson.

a large acquaintance among the vast
number of dealers who have sold the
Balm product for years and he plans to
make an extended trip with a view of
getting the dealers in better touch with
the manufacturers. One Of the Omaha
trade papers in speaking of the de-
parture of MI. Halted, says:
"The jobbing fraternity of Omaha
loses one of it's most enthusiastic mem
bers, the Omaha Implement d Vehicle
Club one of its most ardent supporters,
and the city itself a highly respected
and well liked citizen in the depart
ure of Mr.. Hatfield to Kenosha-and
Kenosha should be glad. To his earn
est work the local club owes much of
it's present prosperity. He was its first
president and served three consecutive
years, and each year saw larger and
healthier growth and development of
the club s usefulness. Much as his de-
parture is regretted, he has the best
wishes of q host of good friends.''

TO SUE FOR PERSONAL Taxes.
City Attorney Prepares to Bring Many
Suits Against Delinquents.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart this,
morning started the work of drawing
the papers to bring suits against some
sixty people of the city who have failed
to pay personal taxes assessed against
them and the suits will be fled in the
municipal court within few days. In
most cases the amounts claimed by the
city are small, but it is declared that
most of them can collected in court
and the delinquents will be forced to
pay the cost of the action in addition
to the amount claimed for the tax.
Some of the claims are against well
known business men and these will be
brought to trial first. It is thought
that the attorney will follow every one
Of the suits and insist that the money
due the city be paid.

This process of purifying all water
entering city's mains by electricity,
the discovery of which was announced
recently, is well worth an investigation
before this or any other city decides
on investing a large amount Of money
in filtration plant. Allowing for
the natural enthusiasm of the discov-
crers of the new process there may be
q great deal in it and it may be posi-
BILE to develop this process to the point
where it is practical. Some Of the
brightest minds in the country have
been working along the line of apply
ing electricity to water publication and
the goal may have been reached in this
reported discovery. A practical process
that would do this work at small ex-
pense by the application of electricity
would be one of the greatest money
and life saving devices ever invented.

GET HAUBRIcH AT HOME.
Sheriff Fights Capturing Boy Who Es-
capped From Industrial School.


capped From Industrial School.
Walter Haubrieh, Kenosha boy,
who escaped from the Wisconsin Indus
trial School for Bows at Wauhesha two
weeks ago, was recaptmed by Sheriff
Stahl late Thursday night at the home
of his parents in the town OF Bristol.
The boy had reached Bristol three days
ago but had managed to conceal his
presence in the town until Thursday
when the sheriff heard that he was in
hiding there and went out to get him.
The sheriff found Haubrich hidden un-
der bed and when he started to crawl
under the bed to drag the boy out he
was attacked by Mrs. Haubrich, the
mother and he had merry time before
he finally brought the boy to Kenosha.
Haubrich will be taken back to Wau-
kesha at once. 1t is thought possible
that other inmates of the Waukesha
school who escaped last Sunday are in
hiding in this county, but as yet the
officials have not secured any trace of
them.

The average newspaper reader may
jump to the conclusion that there are
too many "escapes" from the indus
trial school and that the discipline is
lax at that institution, but such is
not the case. The runaways are ex-
ceptional characters on whom the sys-
tenn of training at the, school works
slowly, but the fact that the over
whelming majority of the boys
sent to the institution are made
into good and useful citizens is
proof enough that the officials
in charge are working along the
right lines. The school is leforma-
tory not penitentiary and the distinc-
tion should be made clear In building
up the characters of the inmates all
of the boys must be trusted TO greater
or less extent and the teachers occasion
ally may make mistake or how much
liberty an exceptional case may be
trusted with and an "eseape" occurs,
but the great majority of the inmates
seldom fail when put "on honor

Under the New Law Only Sixty Miles

1t is certain that the action of the
county board in November in outlining
county highway system viii be one
of the most important matters ever
brought to the supervisors of the
county and it will undoubtedly be the
feature of the regular session of the
board. With a view of aiding the
supervisors in their work of outlining
the road system County Clerk Jones
has made up some statistics showing
the amount of roadway in the county
There is total of 444 miles and of
this the supervisors must choose sixty
miles as county system. the law
for state aid in improving the high
ways provides that not more thar Is
per cent of the roads in the county
may be included in the system to be
adopted for the first year of work.
