CLEARY THE REAL STAR
Kenosha Half Back Rolls Up
Nine Points Against
Cavalry Sunday.
KENOSHk GOAL NOT IN DANGER

The Kenosha football PLAYERS COM
pleted the humiliation of the players
Of the army at Eft. Sheridan on Sun
day afternoon when the team of the
cavalry, claimed to be one of the
strongest teams on the north shore,
was defeated by the Kenoshas by a
score Of 8 to 0. 1t was far from good
football weather. A cold wind blew
with a velocity Of forty miles an hour
over the field and in many places ice
was standing while the ground was
frozen hard. A crowd of $50 enthusi-
asts shivered on the side lines while the
men went through the hour of strenu-
Gus play. Joe Cleary made his first
appearance with the team this year
and starred in the game making both
of the scores for the Kenosha team.
Cleary made the first score in the first
quarter of the game when he got on
the arnly's forty yard line and ran
around tie end of the army team for
a Touchdown. He kicked an easy goal.
The army put up strong defensive
game, but most of the play was in the
territory of the visitors. In the third
quarter, Stacy the Kenosha full back,
had carried the ball to the forty yard
line and Clearly seeing good chance
for a drop kick dropped back and
sent the. ball straight over the goal
adding three points to the Kenosha
score. The high wind made it impossi-
bic to use the forward pass in which
the Kenosha team does its best work.
Next Sunday Manager Grosvenor has
arranged to have the Centrals lineup
against the Racine team and hot
game is certain.
The line and score of the game on
Sunday follows:

Tollefsen against Hilda Tolleffsen re-

cruelty, declaring that the woman had
forced him to sleep in cold room.
The court held that the evidence in the
case showed that both the husband
and wife had been guilty of acts which
would constitute grounds for divorce
and on such ruling he refused to
grant the decree to either of them. It
is probable that later on the wife will
appear in court and ask for divorce.

Anna Livingston Accuses
Many Men in Story
She Told.
WOMAN GOES TO STATE PRISON
Admits She is Guilty OF Charges Against
Her and is Sent to Prison for Two
Year Term. Victim Sent to Indus
trial School.

Sensational developments are prom
ised in connection with the story told
to the court and district attorney on
Saturday afternoon by Mrs. Anna Liv-
ingston, So years of age, who pleaded
guilty to being q panderer and as such
was sentenced by Judge Randall to a
term of two years in the state prison
at Waupun.
Before the woman came into court
for sentence she told the whole story
OF her life to the judge and the dis
trict attorney. The story came out
between sobs as the woman had been
given to understand that a plea of
guilty would result in her being sent
to the state prison. Notwithstanding
this fact she insisted that she desired
to tell the officials the entire story Of
her relations with Lorreta "Purdy =
Wells, the seventeen year old girl with
whom she was arrested in Chicago.
The woman declared that the Wells
girl had been coming to the various
places where she had lived for some
time and she declared that the gi1..,
had been introduced by her to many
men in Kenosha, some of them men of
local prominence. The woman 1eclar-
ed that all of these men had been
more or less familiar with the girl.
The district attorney has not as yet
issued any warrants for the arrest of
the men named and Mrs. Livingston
was taken the state prison this
morning to begin the service of her
term. She, however, declared to the
officials that she would be willing to
return to Kenosha as witness any
time that the testimony she had given
would be needed in court for the con
viction of any of the people who are
alleged to have contributed to the de-
linquency of the Wells girl. The girl
was sentenced to the Industrial School
for Girls at Milwaukee, but she will
not be taken to the institution for sew
eral days pending the investigation Of
the stories told by Mrs. Livingston.
The girl has entered denial to some
of these stories, but has expressed a
willingness to aid the state in the con-
viction of any of the men named
against whom she is able to give any
evidence.
Mrs. Livingston insisted that she
had no part in the going away Of the
three girls recently Sent to the indus
trial school and she insisted that she
consented to go away with the Wells
girl only after the girl had repeatedly
asked her to take her to Chicago.
The woman insisted that she had
never been in Jail before and when she
signed the petition TO be allowed to
plead "guilty" to charges against her
she declared that was signing her
death warrant as she did not be-
lieve that she could ever live in prison.
The names of the men who are al
legged to have been connected with the
case are in the hands of the district
attorney and naturally there is some
interest in the. steps he will take. No
warrants were issued for the arrest of
any of them today.

pre-; many have acted as officers Of the

The teaching is non-sectarian although
all are required to attend daily prayers

that this college is now highly approved

OF Turkey and with Turkish directors. To
this the Americans naturally object They
say that they are organized under the
laws of New York, and they expect to
stand by the rights which the foreign
ownership gives them.
There is no doubt but that the Ameri-
cans are sensible in preferring the pro-
lection of Uncle Sam to that of the sui
tan. Conditions are bound to be unset
tied in this part of the world for years
to come. There will be revolutions and
counter revolutions before the Turks
come down to a solid, substantial, modern
government; and no one can tell when
the old conditions of censorship may not
be resumed AS it is now, the students
can read what books they like. and there
is little trouble as to the newspapers.
They can go where they please without

1t was kept at the customs house, the

DR.. Bliss succeeded in getting his
Shakespeare in by saying he had an
other copy of the same book. which, as
it was already in the country, could not
trade this for the new copy. The censor
consented, and he accepted the Shake
speare which cost dollar and admitted
the fine old edition instead.
At another time some New Testaments
sent to Constantinople were held back
by one of the censors because Of the
Epistle of Paul to the Galatians. Galata
is one Of the divisions of Constantinople,

the Mohammedan can come TO 1t without
changing his religion. 1t insists only that
every one who goes through its courses
shall attend chapel and the Bible classes
studying the Bible as one Of the great
influences in the work of the world. 1t
is not long since the students, who be-
lieve in Mohammed, struck against these
regulations. They refused to go to chapel
and took an oath not to attend the Bible
classes The strike created a sensation,
and for a time It seemed as though II
might do serious damage. The faculty,
however, headed by the president, DR..
Howard S. Bliss, insisted, saying that the
school was a Christian college. They
demanded that all students must attend
the religious services, and the result was
that most Of the strikers came in and
the college has gone along on it's original
lines.
In talking about this to one of the MO-
hammedan students DR.. Bliss said:
"Our college was established to give
the Mohammedan world the best that the
Christian world has. Our aim is to make
of YOU broad-minded, Intelligent men
whether you continue to be Moslems or
Christians. We believe that the best
thing we have is our religion, and we
are bound to let you know what it is.

think the Moslem religion the best we
believe that the knowledge you have of
our religion will make you better and
broader Moslems. Religion is for man.
not man for religion. and we want you
to have the training which will make
each one of you the best man, whether ne
be Christian or MoSlem.
Today the Mohammedan students, at
tending the services, look upon them as
largely educational, and they study the
Bible as such.
The influence of colleges like this goes
Ear and wide. The students come from
villages all over the Turkish empire and
from those of India and Persia as well:
