Managers of Party Commit
tees Fail to File State
ments of Expenses
DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAY ACT

Political leaders in Kenosha county
who have served as chairmen and sec
retaries of party committees at the
time of the last general election are
liable to prosecution on account of
the fact that not one of these chair
men has obeyed the law and filed with
the Register of Deeds and the County
Clerk an account of the expenses of
the committee during the campaign. In
other years these reports have been fl
ed but this year it seems that the COM
mittees have entirely overlooked or
neglected the matter. In Milwaukee
the same course was taken by the pol
lt1cal party chairmen and secretaries
and the men were promptly arrested
and taken into court and forced to pay
the costs of the proceedings. They
were released after this little formality
and it is pretty certain that in Mil
waukee county there will be no more
VIOLATIONS OF the law.
In Kenosha county this year every
man who was candidate at either the
primary or election fled an account of
his expenses and the only dehnquents
were the party chairmen. Under the
law it is necessary for the Register of
Deeds to certify to the District Attor-
ney the fact that these accounts were
not filed and it is up to the attorney
TO start the prosecutions.
The names of delinquents were certi-
fed to the District Attorney at the
time of the last city election but at
that time no action was taken to start
prosecutions along the line of the pro
secutions made in Milwaukee.

has become a serious one in many To-
calities. School boards have sometimes
felt 1t necessary to move toward re-
strlction or regulation. Supt. Cary is
quoted as saying that something
ought to be done to curtail the extrav-
agant expenditures of money for dress
on the part of some of the pupils in
the graduating classes of our high
schools, for the reason that such use
of money is undemocratic, unnecessary
and not for the best interests of all pu-
pills in the school,
Our Kenosha girls have solved the
problem. They have simply ruled that
the girl who makes display of dress
shall not find herself an object of en-
w and rivalry, but an object of class
disapproval for violation of the general
agreement.
Not one of them need think that
she will be any less interesting and at

have, with such excellent taste and
good sense, resolved to appear. Meth.
er will anything be lost from the DIG
nifty of the occasion.
Nothing should be done to depreciate
the Importance of graduation from
high school The diploma thus secur-
ed is valuable thing. Not only is it
a passport to higher institutions. but
it is proof that its possessor had en-
ough persistence, had enough stability
and earnestness of character to stick
to thing until it was finished. It is
in itself recommendation. If it has
meant struggle to secure it, all the
better strength of muscle is gained
not by floating with the stream, but by
swimming against the current.
Twenty-eight girls and six boys will
come up for this diploma in June.

PASS RESOLUTIONS THURSDAY
Parents of the Members of the Glass
Will Not be Called on to Make Big
Outlay for G-Aduation Dresses This
Year.

The twenty-eight young ladies of the
lass of 1911 of the Kenosha high
school are deserving of especial com
nendation for their good sense and
tightly democratic spirite Yesterday
me of the class officers handed to the
superintendent resolution signed by
svery girl in the class. It reads as
follows: We, the girls of the class of
1911, hereby agree to lessen the ex-
penses to our parents of cur graduation
by wearing the same simple and mex
pensive white dresses to the gradual
ing exercises and to the "Junior
rom We also agree not to have ex-
ira dresses for class day and the class
play"
This resolution was the outcome of
class discussion arising from the re-
ports, probably well-founded, that the
demand upon parents of graduates in
past years has been too heavy; that
the effort made by many parents to
have their daughters appear as we'll as
their class mates, caused unwarranted
sacrifice; and that cases have occurred
which pupils approaching gradua-
ion have dropped out, not because
they were unable to come up to the
scholarship standard, but on account of
being financially unable to meet the
lress Standard absurd and wrong
condition in the most democratic of all
our public institutions, the public high
school, the "People' College,
For this act, which has a larger ele-
nent of moral courage in it than may
1t first appear, these young women
lot only deserve the esteem of the pub
lie, but they deserve credit for set
ing an admirable precedent for fut-
are classes, one that may be influential
in increasing the senior enrolment
Not only that, but they have set an ex-
ample that other communities will be
glad to observe and follow. The ques-

POLICE LOOK into SHOOTING
Louis Bartelo Former Boarder at
DeContanzo Home is Charged With
Firing Shot Through the Window
Girl Identifies Italian.

The police of the city and the Dis
trict Attorney are investigating mys-
FERROUS shooting ARRAY which occurred
just after eight o'clock Thursday ev-
ening at the home Of Vincenzo De Con-
tanzo at 1O1l JENNIE street when shot
was fred through the front window of
the house and Josie De Contanzo the
little daughter of the head of the
house narrowly escaped being killed
by the bullet Louis Bartelo a former
boarder in the house is under arresy
and at present is being held under
charges of malicious mischief but the
charges against him may be oh. eyed

hour after the shooting too place and
at the time of his arrest he declared
that he had nothing to do with the
shooting. De Contanzo and his wife
were in their bedroom lust after seven
o'clock when they heard shot fired
=
the window but could see nothing of
any one who could have fred the shot
and he returned to his room leaving
his daughter and another child in the
living room of the house. A few min
utes later second shot was fred and
at this time the little girl concealed
herself behind a curtain to watch for
the man who fired the shots. About
ten minutes later a man was seen tc
stand directly in front of the house.
He drew revolver from his pocket
and aiming it at the window fred. The
bullet shattered the window and the
curtain and passed close to the head
of the little girl. The girl declared
that she recognized Bartelo. The DO
lice were notified and Bartelo was
picked up a short time later. The ac-
cused man was formerly boarder at
the house but he had been ordered to
leave and since that time he had
shown signs of making trouble. He
was arrested some time ago on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons
and the police declare that he has been
under surveillance for some time on ac-
count of his continually going armed.
The police believe that Bartelo did not
irtend to kill any one but that he took
this means of wreaking his vengeance
on the members of the De Contanzo
family for their refusing to permit him
to remain as boarder in their home.
The little girl promises to be the chief
witness at the hearing against the
man and she insists that she could not
have been mistaken in the identity of
Bartelo and that she clearly saw him
fire the shot into the window of the
house. The bullet imbedded itself in
the wall of the house.

The fourth in the series of practical
talks by representative men of the
city was given at the College of Com

Clifford E. Randall, Judge of the Mu-
nicipal court. Mr. Randall in his open
ing remarks gave stenographers in par
ticular some very practical advice for
their use in taking their first position.
In his address he outlined the judicial
system of the state, explaining the
function and jurisdiction Of each of
the several courts.
The speaker s last few sentences
were full of food for thought, and of
moment to move more than a body of
students. In contrasting the Ameri-
can s attitude to law with the attitude
of an Englishman or German, he said
that it is pitiful truth that the aver

evade it, and often consults his law

the future, and illustrated his point
