Johnny Kilbane of, Cleveland was
awarded the decision over frankie Con-
ley of Kenosha- on Saturday after the
end of twenty round glove contest at
Los Angeles.
Kilbane was by far the cleverer of
the two and at times made the Keno
sha Italian appear like an amateur.
Toward the close of the battle he was
apparently firing, but he had amassed
such an advantage in the earlier
rounds that it was impossible for Con
ley to make up the difference.
Kil5ane was the aggressor from the
start, and not until the twelfth round
did the Wisconsin boy come out and
mix blow for blow, receiving much the
worst OF che hand to>hand fray.
kilbane's decisive victory, following
his knockout of Jose Rivers some time
ago, probably means that he will be
matched to meet Abe Attell for the
featherweight championship.

The police of the city are planning
the enforcement of the city ordinance
against the obstruction Of the side
walks in the business districts by goods
offered for sale but the real cleanup
will come when the inspectors repre-
senting the pure food commission
reach here on their rounds. 1t may be
possible to turn and twist this law
from its intended meaning but the way
it reads to layman few OF she mer-
chants who offer their goods for sale
on the sidewalks are complying with
all of its provisions and some OF them
are paying no attention whatever to its
requirements. They are likely to be
brought up with a round turn when
the inspectors looking after the en-
forcement of this law visit Kenosha
for they have not been at all back
ward in bringing prosecutions In other
cities around the state where they have
taken the ground that ample notlce
has been given the merchants and bust
ness men of the steps that must be
taken to comply with the law and that
reasonable time has been given them
to conform to the regulations in re-
gard to the handling of their products
and that all violations found now are
willful arising not from ignorance OF
the law on the part of the dealers but
Intentional The men who have made
an effort to follow the law are anxious
for the visit of the inspectors for they
arc at disadvantage in doing bust
ness under it's restrictions in competi-
ton with other merchants who SO far
have ignored the law entirely.

WILL MEET NO interference
Red Cross stickers VIII be Sold This
Year Under the Direction Of the
wisconsin Committee With Funds
for Plague Fight.

"Not only viii the sale of Red Cross
Christmas Seals be continued this
year, but it will be carried on along
broader lines and will be larger and
more comprehensive than ever be-
FORE says DR.. Livingston Farrand,
Executive secretary of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, in a statement issued
today by the Press bureau Of that
organization.
DR.. Farrand denies absolutely the
statements which have appeared recent
ly to the effect that Postmaster General
Hitchcock had forbidden the sale of
Red Cross Seals "No official order has
been issued on this matter" says DR..
Farrand son July 1st the postofice
department decided that they could no
longer carry mail matter which bore
stamps or seals which resembled post
age stamps. Our design of the Red
Cross Seal, however, has been approved
definitely by Postmaster General Hitch
cock and the department, and it does
not come within the prohibitions of this
order of July l. 1t hardly looks as if
we were going to abandon the sale,
when we have already placed the order
for the printing of fifty million seals
and for large quantities of advertising
matter
"The Red Cross Seal this year will
be from new design drawn by an ar
fist in Washington, D. G. Every effort
has been made to get as far away from
the conventional design of stamps and
seals as possible. The new seal will
depict very pretty winter scene. In
the lower right hand corner will ap-
pear snow covered house with pine
tree, also snow covered, in the fore
ground. The scene is at night and the
windows are lighted. In the back
ground are trees and capped hills.
In the upper left hand corner viii APP
pear small red cross. The entire de-
sign is enclosed with heavy red cir
Gle. The year is expressed in Roman
numerals. The only other words On
the seal are american Red Cross,
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year"
The corners of the seal, which will be
square are in white, thus giving the
effect of circular seal when it is
affixed to letter and packages
"It is very important that every one
bear in mind that the postofice depart
ment will not carry any letters bearing
these seals or any other non-postage
stamps upon the face or the letter.
Red Cross Seals may and should be
used on the back of letters and pack
ages.
"Agents for the sale of Red Cross
Seals have now been appointed in
every large state of the United States.
More territory will be covered this
year, and more agents will sell than
ever before We need and want a mil
lion dollars from the sale of Red Cross
Seals in 1911"

Police and Fire Commission
Give Him Sentence of
Indefinite Suspension
ACT ON OFFICERS EVIDENCE

Police Officer Joseph Euting drew q
sentence of indefinite suspension from
the board Of police and fire commits
sioners after an all day hearing on
Saturday afternoon and the commits
son decided that notwithstanding the
fact that the formal charges made
against Euting had not been proven
by the evidence that considering only
the evidence Of Euting himself he
should be dropped from the force
Judge Joseph r. Clarkson, who repre-
sented Euting at the hearing made q
strong appeal for the reinstatement OF
his client. Euting mad sought to show
that the action against him was a case
of spite work, but the commission re
fused to take this view of the case
and declared that they believed that
the chief of the department had acted
wisely in bringing charges against
Euting. The commission refused to
act hastily in the matter and in reach
ing their decision the commissioners
took into consideration that Euting had
been on the force for more than eight
wears. The decision of the commission
does not expen Euting from the force
and should he be reinstated at any
time in the future he will be entitled
to all rights for pension which he has
gained by the eight years of service
The decision Of the commission was
announced in a letter to the depart
ment and the members Of the board
declined to make any further comment
on it. The removal of Euting will
make it necessary for the commission
to add another man to the force al
once.

WANT SOUTH STREET OPENED.
Property Owners Find Street Lines
Have Never Been Definitely Fixed.

Have Never Been Definitely Fixed.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
work of paving South street was start
ed at the lake shore on last Saturday
morning property owners on the west
end of the street declare that the por-
ton of the street between West and
West Main streets has never been form
ally opened and they will present pc
tition to the council this evening ask
ing that The lines Of the street be map
ped out It is claimed that in st vcral
places the street is now on private prop
erty This may delay the paving of the
street, but the property owners are
anxious to have the Improvement con-
tinue and they will probably be will
ing to accept any reasonable comprom-
Use. The stubs on the street are now
being put in and the city is planning
to lay sewer between West and West
Main streets with view of having this
completed while the contractors are
grading the east portion of the street.

SCRAP OVER CHILD LABOR Law.
Arrest of Caddy Master Likely to be
Fought Through the Courts.

The scrap between the Racine
Country club and the state officials who
are trying to force TIE child labor law
against the employment of caddies at
the Racine club is liable to become a
state wide affair. Several other cities
in the state have taken up the ques-
ton which was already fought to a
standstill in Milwaukee year ago.
The arrest of the Racine Country
club caddy master is likely to be fought
through to the state supreme court as
a test case, with all the golf clubs OF
the state and probably the state golf
association backing the Racine Country
club which wants to secure ruling on
whether the law affects this temporary
employment of boys.
Golfers throughout the state argue
that caddies who visit the courses af-
ter school to earn a little side money
or who get excused from school dur
ing special tournaments, which are rare
at this time of the year, do not come
under the law to such an extent as to
cause the arrest of the caddy master
or the golfers who employ them.
The state industrial commission is
to take up the affair as an industrial
problem, in addition to the action in
the Racine courts, which has been de-
ferred for two weeks pending tho
preparation of the Racine Country
cub for the contest.

that cultivated whites were unwilling
to avow directly. Next came improp-

ARE BUSY AGAIN.
Wire Thieves Cut Away Copper from
the Postal Lines Saturday.

Wire thieves are busy about Kenosha
again and this morning the police were
notified that during the storm of Satur
day night or early Sunday morning the
thieves cut away two hundred pounds
of copper wire from the lines of the
Postal Telegraph Company just north
of the Pennoyer Sanitarium. Five
wires were taken off the posts for a
distance of more than a hundred yards
and the disappearance of the wire was
not discovered until Sunday. The Pos
tai men declare that they are convinced
that the wire was disposed of in Ke-
nosha. Chief O'Hare has personally
taken up the case and he hopes to be
able to discover the "fence" and ar
rest the alleged thieves. This is the
third raid that has been made on the
wires in the past ten days and the
thieves made a rich haul on each oc-
caslon.

WARRANTS WAIT At PRISON
Formal Papers to Secure the Custody of
Martin Becker Filed With Indiana
Officials at the End of the Prisoners
First Year.

Inc Omc1aIS OF hcnOSHd equity dIo
not going to take any chances on the
possible escape of. Martin Becker,
wanted in Kenosha on charges of as
sault with intent to murder, Chief of
Police Owen O'Hare and now that
Becker has served the minimum sent
ence imposed on him at the Indiana
state prison at Michigan City the To-
cal officials have forwarded to the Of
icials at the prison a warrant for the
arrest Of Becker and they have been
given instructions to arrest him the
minute he leaves the prison.
Becker was sent to the prison for
an indeterminate sentence of from one
to fourteen years aud he may be
paroled by the Indiana authorities at
any time. The warrant for his arrest
on the Kenosha charges was issued by
Judge Randall in the municipal court
some time ago and already the question
The officials at the Indiana prison have
notified the local officials that they
have received the warrant and that
Becker will not be allowed to escape.
The chief Of the Kenosha police de-
partment will be kept notified of
every move made by Becker to secure
his liberty by parole or pardon so that
he can be waiting at the prison doors
when Becker is released Becker has
been a model prisoner and under the
terms of his sentence he is now en-
titled to apply for a parole. He is
advised Of the fact that there is a
warrant for his arrest on the Kenosha
charges and it is thought that this
fact has prevented him from asking
for parole.
The charge brought against Becker
| is one that will never outlaw and for
this reason it is thought that he will
seek to get it disposed of at as early
time as possible. Becker has never
admitted that he was the man who shot
o Hare and in fact he has insisted
repeatedly to the officials of the In
diana prison that he is victim of
mistaken identity alleging that he was
never in Kenosha and never saw the
chief of police until after he had been
arrested in Chicago on minor charge.
Becker has communicated with his rela-
tives and it is declared that they will
be willing to aid him in his fight
against ON charges Of attempted MUIR
der when he is brought to Kenosha
Chief O'Hare and other Kenosha
people who went to Michigan City to
see Becker, declare that they can not
be mistaken as to his identity and
that he is the man who shot O'Hare
here several years ago. While Becker
has served only a short time Of his
sentence it has been the policy of the
Indiana board of pardons to offer early
paroles for prisoners. In this case the
Kenosha officials have urged the board
to grant full pardon as there would
be some question as to the right Of the
local officials to bring Becker to Ke
nosha while he was under parole as
in such case the Indiana officials
would still have jurisdiction over him
It is certain, however, that Becker
will not escape trial even if O'Hare
is forced to wait years to get him.

The list of applicants for the posi-
AugustBaltzer,
City Engineer.


The list of applicants for the posi-
ton of city sealer is growing every
day and at this rate there will be no
difficulty in getting fairly long eligi-
BILE list after the examinations from
which the mayor may pick his appoin-
tee. Some Of the candidates carry the
idea that the examinations for the po-
sition will be more or less farcial and
that there will be no difficulty in pass
ing them, but if the civil service com
mission sticks to its announcement
that it means business in picking men
for the important positions it will re-
quire something more than a political
pull to get name on the list. In that
case the appointing power would be
relieved of considerable embarrass-
ment in choosing the lucky man for
the place. OF course if a man cannot
pass these examinations he cannot ex-
pect to have his claims for services
rendered recognized by an appointment.

EARNS MUCH IN FEES.
Kenosha County Credited With 1922 as
a Result Of T{unting License Fees.

The working of the law which gives
the county clerk the right to collect
fifty cents for making applications for
hunting licenses, is proving bonanza
for the county as the report of the
clerk for the last quarter fled this
morning shows that $3.50 was collected
in application fees during the three
months and in addition $3.50 was col
lected in the ten cent fees. In former
years the county clerk made a present
of nearly all of this money to the hunt
ers as he always made out the applica-
tions without charge. These fees now
go into the county treasury and must
be collected under the holding of the
attorney general Of the state. The tol-
tai amount for the county from this
source will probably be in excess of
$500 as less than half the hunting IL
censes have been issued for the year.

-FOUR MUST PAY The TAXES
Teachers Who are in Wisconsin for
Their First Year Must Pay One Per
Gent of Their Salaries to the Pen
sion Fund.

Teachers in the schools OF Kenosha
seem to be slow to accept the provl-
sions of the new teachers pension law
which went into effect the first OF Sep
TENDER and the checks drawn for the
month of September will show few Ke-
nosha teachers on the list for pensions.
Not single one of the teachers OF the
city has as yet fled formal notice
that he or she elects to come under
the provisions of the law and nearly
all Of them will receive the full month
ly pay when the checks are sent next
week.
There are but four teachers in the
schools of the city from whose pay the
one per cent has been deducted IN
making up the pay roll and in these
cases the law made it mandatory for
the amount to be withheld for the pen
sion fund. Mrs. Mary D. Bradford is
planning to take the matter up with
the other teachers of the city within
Che next few days and when the law
is properly explained to them it is
thought that majority of the teach
ers will elect to come under the act
If they do they must pay into the
pension fund one per cent OF their
monthly salary with the provision
however, than no teacher pay into the
. fund sum to exceed fifteen dollars
in any one year. Many teachers in Ke
nosha are not favorable to the act as
they insist that they do not desire to
make life work of teaching. For the
most part these teachers can retire from
participating in the pension fund as
they were teaching in Wisconsin at the
time the law was enacted Teacher;
who began teaching this year however
must come under the provisions of the
law.
In many cities formal protests have
been filed against the deducting of The
per cent Of salary by first year teach
ers and these teachers have been ad
vised that the law was enacted before
they contracted and that the only
remedy for them will be to go to some
other state where no provision is made
for pensionipg the teachers. At the
time tbe enactment of the law the Ke
nosha teachers took an active part il
seeking the new legislation, but aftel
the law was placed on the statute books
they failed to follow its provisions
There are more than 140 teachers il
Kenosha county and every one of then
is, entitled to come under the act I
is expected that large majority o.
the rural teachers will be registered
under the act and already many o.
them have filed formal notices with tn,
school boards of the different districts
to this effect
Under the law the teachers are en-
titled to receive pensions after being
engaged in teaching work in Wisconsin
for a term of twenty years or owe
and the removal from one city to an
other does not in any way effect thu
standing of the teachers with tn,
board in charge of granting the pen
sions.
