WOULD FIGHT CONLEY
Light Weight Champion
Would Take On Keno.
sha Champion
CONLEY OBJECTS TO LOCATION

Ad Wolgast the lightweight cham
pion has come out of his shell at Cad
lilac, Mich, and has sent letter to the
sporting editor Of one of the Milwau-
kee papers declaring that he is anx-
ious to get back into the fight game
and that he is more than willing to
come to Milwaukee for a ten round
bout. Strange as it may seem he names
frankie Conley of Kenosha as one of
the men he is willing to meet in emil
waukee.' Conley has been camping on
the trail of Wolgast ever since the two
boys became champions in their class
and there is no doubt but that he is as
anxious to meet the champion now as
he ever was but in misunderstanding
doing. Conley has gone against the
Milwaukee game before and he would
have just about as much chance Of beat
ing Wolgast in Milwaukee as he would
have of defeating Jack Johnson. Con-
ley does not like the Milwaukee game
and he does not hesitate to say so. At
ter the last go in Milwaukee Conley
cut that city off his list forever and
it is pretty certain that even fight
with the lightweight champion would
not lure him into Milwaukee again
Milwaukee fight promoters have shown
themselves unwilling to give Con1ey
anything like fair deal and it is put
ting it mild to say that he has got the
worst of every battle pulled off in Mil
waukee since he defeated Attell for the
championship at Los Angeles. Conley
is spelling for a fight with Wolgast
and there will be no wrangling over
the terms but it is certain that Conley
will make one demand and that is that
the fight be held some place other than
Milwaukee. Wolgast is well aware of
the aversion of the Kenosha fighter to
Milwaukee and it is pretty certain that
he took this into consideration when he
suggested bout b. arranged before
one of the Milwaukee clubs.

NEW HOSPITAL IS READY.
Will be Opened for the Use of the Pub
lie on the Return of Pres. Simmons.

The new Kenosha hospital is now
ready for occupancy and the directors
had hoped to be able to open it to the
people this morning but this was not
possible on account of the fact that
there are number of very serious
cases at the old hospital and these pa
tients cannot be removed at this time.
The formal announcement of the open
ing of the hospital will be made just
as soon as President Simmons returns
from an eastern trip. The new building
is fully completed and all the furniture
has now been installed. 1t is the plan
of the directors to have open house for
a couple of days before the hospital
is used for the reception of patients.
Formal notice of the dates for the in
spection of the hospital will be made
probably on Friday.

CLAIMS CITY ACTED IN RIGHTS
Property Owners Not Seeking Any Com
promise and Attorneys are Ordered
to Fight Council in Circuit and SUI
preme Courts.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart has FL
ed demurrer ON the part of the city
to the complaint recently made by the
Elizabeth street property owners in the
Circuit court and it is probable that the
fight over the paving contract will be
fought out on it's merits in the local
and Supreme courts as early as pos
sible. It is pretty certain that the
work of paving the street will not be
started with the opening of the building
season as the property owners have in
structed their attorneys to take the
matter to the Supreme court if neces-
sary and if this course is taken it will
be many months before decision in
murrer the City Attorney prays that
the court dismiss the action on the
ground that the complaint filed by At
torney R. V. Baker on behalf of John
O 'Donnell one of the property owners,
ton. This answer of the city does not
go into the merits of the case in any
way and it is expected that the con
tention of the City Attorney will not
be made known until the matter is
argued before Judge Belden. The mat
ter may be taken up at any time but it
Hs not expected that it will be reached
by the court until the opening of the
March term.
Suggestions of a compromise have
been made to the aldermen and to the
property owners the attorney himself
insisting that the best way out of the
middle would be to readvertise for bids
for the paving of the street. The pro-
perty owners interested in the action
in court have declined to make any
compromise and Mr.. O'Donnell has di-
rected his attorney to proceed with the
suit in court regardless of offers to end
the matter by seeking new bids. The
property owners hold that the council
should let the contract to the Western
Improvement company which submit
ted the low bid for the work and they
propose to fight the question out along
this line with a view of setting pre-
cedent for future actions Of the coun-
eli. These property owners do not care
to delay the work but they will insist
on what they consider their rights even
if the paving is laid over for another
year. The contract with Chris Peter
sen has already. been signed by the
Mayor and the City Clerk and it is pos
sible that the city may get into fur
ther complications as a result.

LECTURE IN HIGH SCHOOL
AUDITORIUM.

Professor Theodore Lyman Wright,
head Of the Greek department of Beloit
College will lecture in the auditorium of
the high school on Friday evening
Feb. 3. His subject is Homer s Lands
and Men
The slides to be used in illustration
were collected by himself while travel
ing in Greece and other foreign lands
These slides represent not only the plac-
es mentioned in Homer's writings, but
show various views of art productions
that the Homeric classics have inspir-
ed some of which works of art are
remnants from very remote time
some the product Of modern painters
and sculptors
All are interesting, especially when
described by one who is widely known
for his knowledge of Greek literature
and art, and for his ability to present
his subject attractively to others.
It is hoped that the auditorium will
be filled with the high school students
and their friends. Grammar grade pu.
pills who as high school students next
year viii read the ODYSSEY of Homer
are invited to come.
The lecture will begin at s o'clock.
