HAS MANIA FOR BURGLARIES
Plea of Kenosha County Prisoner at
Waupun May Open Fight to Secure
Hospital for Criminal Insane-Judge
Randall Urges Institution.


Judge Clifford f. Randall this morn
ing received a letter from the Wiscon-
sin State Board Of Control giving form
al notice that on December 9th at
Madison the board will set as lunacy
commission to pass on the sanity Of
Walter Strochein, a llenosha county
prisoner at the state prison at Wau
pun for whom a petition Las been fled
asking that he be sentenced to the
Northern Asylum for the Insane at
Winnebago. Judge Randall has an
t1ounced his willingness to and in Sc
curing the transfer of Strochein as at
tie time the court sentenced him to the
two years term in the state prison
it was his opinion that the man should
be sent to some institution for the
criminal insane
Strochein was originally a Sheboygan
man and he came to Kenosha' late in
June and was arrested on charge
Of burglarizing the Cudahy meat mar
ket., The police Of the city were out
searching for clews to the identity of
the burglar when Strochein walked III
to the police office and surrendered him
self admitting that he had broken into
the market. At the same time he told
the police that he had been connected
with many burglaries in the state and
shortly after he had been sentenced the
sheriff received letters from other
counties declaring that he was
wanted in other places for the
same crime. It is alleged that the
man suffered from a mania for burg
larry and il is declared that the case
is one of the most unusual lever
brought to the attention of the of
fcials of the state. While he has been
a prisoner at Waupun it is claimed
that he has worked out plans for burg
laries and his actions are such that
the officials Of the prison seem to be
convinced that the man is insane.
At the meeting of the board of con
troll strong representations will be
made to have the board take some ac-
ton to have the state make some ar
rams ements to provide place for the
care of the criminal insane and The pc
tition of the Kenosha county prisoner
may go a long way toward bringing
the state board to see the necessity of
such an institution.
There have been half dozen pris-
oners in the municipal court of Ke-
nosha county in the past few months
and all of these would have been sent
to an asylum rather than to prison
had there been a place to take care
of them.
The movement is regarded as one of
the biggest ever started in the state
ard Kenosha county officials are hope
full that they will be able to have some
part in bringing this big aid for the
criminal insane.

Bankers Life Association Is
sues Formal Statement of
Change in Business.
TO PROTECT old MEMBERS

The Bankers Life Association at
DesMoines, Iowa, having many poll
cies in Kenosha, has sent out form
al statement in regard to the recent
change in the business of the company
which indicates that all of the old
members of the association will be
properly taken care Of In the an
nouncement of the change the officials
Of the company say:
"This association has now been do
ing business on the assessment plan
for over thirty-two years. It's methods
provided unusual safeguards, so that it
has conducted it's business with great
success, aDd has outlived all the COM
panies then doing business on the as
sessment plan.
During recent years great changes
have been made in the insurance laws,
resulting in more effective state super
vision, in the lessening of the expense
attending the business and in the re-
duction of the net cost of the insur-
ance. Many Of the objections to in
surance on the level premium plan
which formerly had great force have
disappeared under present conditions
While these changes have been go
ing on, the necessity for the issue of
assessment insurance has largely dis
appeared. Legislation has limited the
field in which it is permitted. In
many states no assessment association
can be organized, nor can those or
ganized elsewhere be admitted to do
business.
These considerations, and the earn
est desire to conserve the interest of
the membership in the future as in
the past, has led the association to
discontinue the writing of assessment
policies.
Hereafter only policies with a fixed
premium will be issued. The insurance
you have here will be carried out by
the Banker s Life in strict accordance
with it's terms. The quarterly assess
ments will be made on the same basis
as heretofore. No lien will be placed
on your policy, The bylaws do not
contemplate putting the present mem
bers in a class by themselves, but
leaves them part of the same large
and growing company. The change
applies only to new business. The
insurance you have here is perfectly
safe and secure. You should beware
of the man who urges you to drop it
and buy other insurance Of him. He
has his interest in mind, and not yours
Many of our certificate holders who
have all the insurance they could get
here under the old plan, have sug-
gested the issue of further insurance
to them, in which the premium is fixed
in advance, and no uncertainty exists
as to future cost. -

Jury Saturday Afternoon.

The suit of DR.. and Mrs. Germano
against Harry Wagner of Racine, came
to and end in the circuit court on Sat
urday afternoon when the jury which
heard the case returned verdict al
lowing the doctor and his wife dam
ages to the amount of $175. A claim

were arrested Saturday night on
charges of shop lifting in the Knox

in court this morning and
paid five dollars and costs each. The

bunch of small articles before they
were arrested and although the booty
filled two cigar boxes it was stated
that the total value of it did not ex-
coed eighty cents. For some time store
keepers in Kenosha have been bothered
by petty shop lifting and the police
have been asked to keep a watch over
several places.

PLAN TO WORK NIGHT SHIFTS
With Dynamite to Loosen the Clay and
With Two Diggers at Work Chances
for It's Completion Grow Brighter.
Council Plans for Inspection.

Dynamite is being resorted to with
Il view Of making possible the COM
pletion of the trunk sewer and people
on the west side Of the city are just
a little nervous these days on account
Of the continuous explosions. 1T can
be said, however that the property in
the neighborhood is in no danger and
that the explosions are being used
solely for the purpose of loosing up the
ground so that the clay can be handled.
With the dynamite the contractors
hope to make better progress with the
work and both of the digging ma
chimes are now being operated. In
addition to this arc lamps are being
put up along the route of the sewer
and it is the plan of the contractors
10 keep the men at work day and
night until the work is completed.
With the dynamite as digger the
work is progressing faster than at any
former period and the contractors de-
clare that if the freezing weather
keeps away for two weeks longer that
the water will be running through the
sewer to the lake. The force Of men
on the sewer has been increased to
more than 200 and it is declared that
it is the largest force of men ever
used on any construction work in the
city. The work on the outlet is just
about completed and the water is now
flowing from the big sewer into the
lake.
The city council is expecting de-
cidedly hard job in the inspecting of
the big sewer and this is particularly
true of the tunnel portion of it. 1t has
been proposed to the aldermen that in
order that they may satisfy themselves
us to the work that expert engineers
be employed to come to the city and
make \ trip through the big sewer
from the lake to the west limits of
the city Every bit Of material that
has gone into the sewer has passed in
spection and for this reason the mem
bers Of the council do not believe that
any defects will be found when the
sewer is completed
The work ON the tunnel which has
been put in during the last six weeks
has been done in particularly salts
factory manner to the council and it
is thought that there will be no doubt
of the acceptance Of this portion of
the work.
The top for the outlet will not be
put on this year as the weather will
make it impossible TO attempt this
work at this time However, the con-
tract has been let for tilis work and
it will be taken care of the first thing
with the opening Of the new building
season The council now has on hand
sufficient fund in the special sewer
fund TO meet all demands for the work
with the possible exception of the ten
per cent reserve and contested extras
and it seems certain that the contrac-
tors will have to get judgment
against the city before the claims for
some of the extras are paid.

A Cutting sCrape.

Fred Muench of this city was
attacked and severely cut up
Monday night by 7. E. Kemple,
farmer who resides between here
and Odessa. Muench was going
down Franklin avenue across
from the city hall and was pay
ing no attention to Kemple who
was passing with three other
men. Muench made a re
mark to a friend and it is sup
posed that Kemple took it to
himself. Officers Gaffin and
Walton heard lIuench's calls
for help and hurried to the scene
in time to save his life. On their
arrival Kemple and his three
partners all drew knives and at
tackled the officers, but two went
down by the way Of Gaffin's
billy and the other two were
knocked cold by Muench, whose
right arm was uninjured. The
arrested men gave the following
names: I. P. Barker, T. E. KEN
pie, Wash Barker and John KEN
pie.
While Mr.. Muench's wounds
are very painful it is not thought
that they will prove of serious
nature.

High School Played Well.

The Lexington high school
football team played some snappy
ball at the academy Friday af-
ternOon. In a practice game Of
two quarters the civilians rOmped
all over the cadet third team,
making a score of 81 to 5. The
third team, which defeated the
high school early in the season
and last week beat a heavier
and older Kansas City team, was
suffering with a case of swell
head and could do nothing
against the artistic attack Of the
high school.
After finishing with the third
raters the town lads put on a
scrimmage with the first team
and showed plenty Of class.
While they could not stop the
offense of the heavier cadets,
they showed up well on running
with the ball. Twice Shelby
broke through the cadet line on
delayed passes and scored.

in the last quarter, made several
stellar tackles. On the first
play after he went in the Blue
jays tried him out and in con
sequence lost two yards.
Russell, at quarter made his
first appearance in Lexington.
He ran the team splendidly and
showed excellent judgment in
the selection Of plays. His de-
fensive work, too, was good.
Van Dyke and Hamilton did
the good work for the visitors in
advancing the ball. The for
mer's 65 yard run was the best
that has been pulled off on the
local field this year.
Bill Steele, the Lexington lad
who plays left end on Westmin-
ster put up a strong defensive
game, but was given no oppor-
tunity to show his strength in
carrying the ball.
The officials were the best that
have worked here this year. Nc
Bride is a local standby; "Izzy"
Anderson made splendid um-
.pire, while Jay Wyatt was on
the job as field judge.
Jones and McKinny, the Went
worth tackles were towers oD
strength and defense.
Hoge, got back into the game
with a vim and made some beau
tiful tackles.
Both teams were sorry because
the field was slow, and end runs
were their principal sources OF
offensive strength.
Sunderland, Mitchell and Rob
erts make a great trio for the
back field of the red and white
Roberts easily had the shade OIL
Hamilton in the kicking depart
ment.
