PUT BLAME ON PROMOTERS
overcrowding of the Auditorium Was
Due to Greed of Chicago Men in TIE
Box Office. Police and Firemen I'm
able to Prevent overcrowding.

are ungrateful. Unmindful of the fact
that KenCsha opened her doors and
allowed the fight promoters to pull off
fight which would not be permitted
by the people of Chicago and that Ke-
nosha was being used as a make shift
on account of the fact that Chicago
would not allow fights, the Chicago
men are heaping criticism on the of
fcials of Kenosha for the overerowd-
ing of the Coliseum on Monday-night
and for the failure to protect Chicago
men who had purchased tickets for
the fight.
Sporting writers in Chicago papers
are hitting hard at Kenosha and its
officials. People in the Windy City
are sore and they have held up their
good right hands and have declared
never again. Local officials are
just as sore that the blame for i'm
proper conditions should be put on
them and they assert that the packing
of the Coliseum on Monday night was
due to the greed of the Chicago pro
motors to rake off more money The
reason that people having tickets to
the show were unable to get into the
Coliseum was due to the fact that the
Chicago promoers who were in control
of the box Office continued to take
the peoples money long after the house
had been sold out. In faet it was
declared before the doors of the Coli
scum were opened that seats had all
been sold and this fact was well
known to the promoters. AS to the
identity of the promoters it might be
said that Chicago men are largely in
terested in the handling Of all the
boxing shows.
Kenosha police officers were sent to
the Coliseum to maintain order and
the chief of the fire department and
his men were there to prevent the
overcrowding of the hall and the only
man that raised a hand to stop the
sale Of tickets and the overlooking of
the place was Chief Isermann. The
man at the door was watchful of the
interests of the promoters and he even
denied the chief of police admission
when he came to the door without a
ticket. 1t can be said, however, that
Chief O'Hare went into the building
and did not lose a great deal of time
going in.
The criticism of Chicago people does
not set well in Kenosha and the of
hcials are not taking nearly so kind
ly to Kenosha being made the dumping
ground for Chicago. Several letters
were sent to the governor today pro-
testing against the Monday night oc-
currence. In the meantime the Chi.
cago promoters are on edge thanks to
the fact that the house On Monday
night netted a little better than $640G
and they are already making matches
for another show to be given in the
middle Of January. Johnny Kilbane
and Charley. White are being touted
as the windup for the show, but
neither of the boys has signed ar
ticles as yet
1t is probable that the local officials
will demand that any permits for box
ing shows in the future be strictly for
local promoters and the local men will
be called upon to show that they are
getting the long end Of the profit and
that it is not going to Chicago men.

The police and fremen had lesson
in the handling of crowd made up
of the elements that make up box
ing audience Monday night. They will
not forget in hurry and the neyt
time there is crowd that promises
to be hard to handle its members will
get into line or they will not get with
in a hundred feet of the entrances to
the building.

The heavy fines assessed lately for
carrying concealed weapons are having
very good effect. Some day a fight
will be pulled off in the foreign quar-
ter without any one being knitted or
shot and that will mark icng step
in advance.

KIMBALL COMPANY FIRST.
Foreign Corporation First to conle
Across With Income Tax.

A foreign corporation had the dis
tinction of paying the first income tax
in Kenosha on Tuesday following the
beginning of tax collecting by City
Treasurer Steinmetz. The first money
to come in was draft from the ".
W. Kimball Company of Chicago for
the amount of income tax assessed.
There was no complaint on the pay
ment of the tax from the company.
The first local taxes to be paid were
paid by John Ernst of Lake avenue
and he had the honor Of getting tie
first tax receipt. The total collections
for the first day were only little
over $50, but business was picking up
considerably today. It is expected
that early payment Of taxes nill be
the rule in Kenosha.
