SENT TO OCC0QUAN
Herman Rogers Won't Shoot
Craps fol. Sixty Days.
SISTER GIVES HER TESTIMONY
"He's My Baby Brother and Never
Plays Anything for Money" She
Favor of Policeman that Dice Ma
nipulator Had Skill of Past Master.

The rattle of dice, the cries Of the vic
tors and the walls of the victims caused
Policeman Burton to investigate a dice
throwing contest in Douglas Court. AS
a result, Herman Rogers, colored, yes
to-day was sent to the workhouse for
sixty days by Judge Pugh.
Honest, judge, All was sittin at home
all day Sunday pIayin' cards with my
sister," said Rogers. Mr.. Burton got
the wrong man. All amt had a bone in
nah hand since All got cleaned out of
IS cents last winter"
Burton differed, however, and said he
even saw Rogers handling the dice with
the skill of a past master. He was posi-
tive in his identification, although Rogers
had three witnesses to testify he had
been in their sight from Sunday morning
until Sunday night.
Testimony Too Identical
When 1t came to Il question OF veracity,
Judge Pugh decided in behalf of the
bluecoat The testimony of the Rogers
family was too identical to be believed
the only difference being the words in
which they asserted: Herman was not
out of our sight all day: he was playin
cards from breakfus til bedtime
Herman's sister, Petal Rogers. put the
finishing touch on her testimony when
she said: Herman is my baby brother
an he never plays anything for money"
AS Petal is about five feet in height. and
completely overshadowNed by Herman
who is large for his twenty years, her
statement as to the innocence of her
baby brother" did not pass, and Her.
man will spend the next two months in
close study a Occoquan University.

From every standpoint, the system of
making fixed contract with the sheriff
for his services is to be preferred over
the fee system and the action of the
county board in compromising with the
new sheriff and contracting with that
official at fixed price for the year will
meet with the approval of all of the
taxpayers of the county who have any
memory of the settlements made with
former sherifS under the old fee sys-
TEN. 1t looked for time as if it was
going to be impossible for the sheriff
and the board to get together on the
salary and allowances to be made that
official and that there must be a return
to the fee system with all its attend
ant evils but little patience and for
bearance on both sides brought salts
factory results and all differences were
finally adjusted on what is believed to
be fair and reasonable basis. Tt NAV
be well to remind those taxpayers who
are objecting to the increase in the al
lowance for the keeping of prisoners
under the present contract that the
board has no power to force the sheriff
to enter into any contract whatever
Tor his services and that any agreement
he may make with the county is volun-
tary on his part. The case Just tried
in the neighboring county of Racine
shows that the board of supervisors has
no legal right to enter into a contract
with sheriff involving the disposal Of
his legal fees and the fact that it was
clearly understood by the voters that
whoever was elected to the office of
sheriff in the county would contract
with the board would have no weight
whatever should the matter of the sher-
III S compensation ever get into the
courts. With regard to the increase of
$500 in the allowance for the keep of
prisoners to which objection is made
IN some quarters, it should be remem-
oered that the number of prisoners at
the Jail has been largely increased of
late years and in all probability viii
keep on increasing and that what was
reasonable allowance for their keep
few years ago will not cover the bills
which must be met by the present sher-
Ill The expense of maintaining the
jail Is increasing right along and this
increase will have to be met by the
county or come out of the sheriff S sal
airy and under the circumstances, the
contract just made looks to be as good
an agreement as the supervisors could
hope to get.

COUNTY BOARD PAYS
Paving of Ashland Ave. to be
Paid for by Co. But Coun-
try Members Protest
SHOWER BATH FOR COUNTY JAIL

The January sessions of the County
Board will probably be concluded this
afternoon but the members of the
board are still waiting to sign the con-
tract with the sheriff and the contract
is now in the hands of the District At
torney for consideration. The con
tract was drawn last Saturday but
when it was presented to the board
this morning some of the members held
that it did not cover all the provis-
ions of the law and it was sent back
to the District Attorney for revision
and this necessitated an afternoon ses-
sion of the board. The real fight of
this meeting of the board was settled at
the session on Saturday afternoon
when the board by vote of nine to
six voted to issue county order to
pay for the paving of that portion of
Ashland avenue just west of the coun-
ty building. The city members of the
board voted as unit to have the coun-
ty pay for the paving and Supervisor
Spartz Of the town of Paris voted with
them making the majority clean one.
The matter of asking that the State
Superintendent of the State Schools
provide for training school for teach
ers III Kenosha was finally settled up
Saturday afternoon all of the members
of the board signing the application
for the school and this will be forward
ed to Madison at once. 1t is expected
that some action will be taken by the
state official so that the details for the
opening of the school may be settled at
the November session of the board. In
case the application is acted on fav-
orably it is just possible that special
meeting of the board will be called to
arrange for the opening of the school
The State Board of Control is not
yet wholly satisfied with the condition
of the Kenosha county Jail and at the
meeting this, morning letter from the
board addressed to the County Clerk
was presented. In this the state board
suggested that the county arrange for
the installation of shower bath on
the first floor of the jail and make it
impossible for the prisoner to use the
sink in the corner of this room for the
washing of dishes. The matter was
not acted on by the board but it is
not very probable that the county SOL
ons will consent to spend any more
money on the jail at this time and the
matter will be left open until the
county sees its way clear to vote for
the erection of new Jail.
