SEEK A DELEGATE HERE.
Racine Democrats Would Pick Kcnosha
Man to Go to National Convention.

A half dozen leading Democrats
of Racine county were in kenosha
Monday evening holding conference
with local Democratic leaders with a
view of selecting delegate to go to
the national convention from the First
Wisconsin Congressional District. 1t
lis declared that the Racine men are
willing to join in supporting some man
from Kenosha county and the chances
of several local men were discussed.
The names of Col. Caruth, Calvin
Stewart, John G.. Slater and Clerk of
the Circuit Court, B. f. DeDeimar were
suggested. The younger members Of
the party seem to be in the saddle in
the two counties and it is certain that
these men were favorable to DeDeimar.
Kenosha has not had delegate to
the national convention in some time
and it is certain that the local Demo
Gratis will not have great deal of
trouble agreeing on candidate if he
is assured the honor. A second confer
ence will be held later in the week with
a large number Of the leaders from the
two counties in attendance.

INSPECT TRUNK SEWER.
Inspector Hoban Wades in Hop Boots
from Grover st. to Chicago st.

Thomas Hoban, the city s inspector
on the trunk sewer made an examina-
ton of the big ditch on Thursday at
ternoon when he waded through the
sewer from Grover to Chicago street
and his report made to the city engi-
neer this morning is decidedly favor
able. The concrete has stood up ex-
cellently and there was not place
where there was any sign of a break
ing Of the walls of the big sewer.
Hoban would have made the full
length Of the sewer had it not been
for the fact that the water was sc
deep that such a trip was impossible.
The dam at the Durkee avenue end OF
the sewer is being removed today and
the final piece of concrete put IN.
This will be the last part OF the open
ditch to be completed.

ENTERTAIN THE CHILDREN.
500 Kenosha Children See Santa Claus
at Guild Hall Friday Evening.

The most unique Christmas enter
tainment given in Kenosha m years
took place at the Guild Hall on Fri
day evening when five hundred child
rem of the city were entertained by a
well known philanthropist of the city
under/the direction Of the Rev. Fred
Ingley of st. Matthew IS church. The
entertainment was given with view
Of furnishing some Christmas cheer to
children who were not affiliated with
any of the church organizations and 1t
certainly was great success. The en-
larged guild hall was packed with
happy children. During the earlier
part of the evening Milton I. Lyons
of New York gave an entertainment
in magic and he closed his part of the
entertainment with Punch and judy
show which brought a regular uproar
among the children. Later on Santa
Claus came down real chimney with
a real pack on his back and dlstrlbut-
ed boxes of goodies to every one OF
the children present.

FOOTWEAR GOING Up
Prices to Be Advanced from
Fifteen to Fifty Cents
Per Pair.
SCARCITY OF HIDES IS CAUSE

Because of an increase in the cost
of hides of native cattle, boot and shoe
manufacturers of the country have
announced that there will be an in
crease in the price of their product
shortly after Jan. /, and as a result
Of such increase the retail boot and
shoe merchants viii lbe compelled to
make an advance on their stock of
from Is to so cents a pair, depending
on the grade.
Officials of the department Of justice
at Washington will keep, close watch
on the price of shoes during the next
year in consequence of the report that
the cost to consumers will be material
ly increased, according to dispatches
from the capital If the advance is
made, the government in all proba-
bility will institute an Investigation to
determine whether or not it resulted
from a combination in violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law.
information obtained from hide pro-
ducing centers and from leather deal
ers and manufacturers of shoes all
points toward a certain increase in
price of shoes of all grades.
The increase, dealers say, will come
in the spihg. On mems shoes the
advance will be from % to 80 cents
pair. On shoes for women and child
rem the increase will be from 10 to
80 cents.
Increase in population and lack
of increase in hide production are Civ
en- as the causes of the impending in
crease in prices.
The explanation of Armour & Co. is
representative of the view taken by
all the packing and hide producing
concerns. Armour & Co. say:
''The price of raw hides for a long
time has been too high for the price
of leather in the finished product. For
that reason the leather men have got
ten together and increased prices.
This, of course. is bound to mean an
increase in the price of shoes"

LIMITED TRAINS OVER LOOP.
G. and NJ. Electric Testing Limited
Trains Over Third Rail Track.

However strenuously officials of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric rail
road may declare that no plans are be
ing worked out for an entrance of the
road to the heart of Chicago, the fact
remains that experiments are being
made with the cars, to see how much
changing will be necessary before the
cars may operate about the maze of
elevated tracks in the business district
of the big city on the south.
According to the best information
to be obtained, it is the plan of the
electric railroad officials to operate the
Chicago Milwaukee limited trains about
the loop district, with terminal at
the depot of the Northwestern eleyat-
ed railroad.
The limited trains will be operated
in Chicago at any rate, whether the
local interurban lines are or not. One
ear of the Chicago and Milwaukee has
already been equipped with the shoes,
which take the place of the trolley
pole on the third rail systems. 1t has
been found that even less changing
than was at first supposed, will be
necessary to operate the big interur-
ban cars in the loop district. The cars
will not have to be shortened, but it
will be necessary to move the trucks
nearer the ends of the cars, to prevent
| the cars from swinging out so far
when taking curve. In most places,
as the cars are now they would take
the curve in safety, but in more crowd
ed sections of the city, the ends of the
Icars would be in danger of colliding
with the corners of buildings or of
sweeping track walkers to their
deaths, if they were caught on the
curve.

TO BUILD STONE ROADS.
Pleasant Prairie Town Board Decides
for Permanent Road Building.

The town board Of the town of
Pleasant Prairie at a meeting held on
Saturday evening decided that road
work done in that town this year would
be of permanent nature. The first
road to be built will start. at the rail
way tracks in the village and run east
and north to the Langen tavern corn
ers. This road will have stone sur
face and will be put in in the most
approved manner. No arrangement
was made for the Improvement of
other roads in the town. It Is expect
ed however that a stone surface will
be put in on Ashland avenue to the
south of the city but no decision as
to the building of this road will be
made until after the various plans of
the state highway commission for
roads has been outlined.

QUAKE IS FELT IN CHICAGO
Milwaukee and Racine Fail to Get any
Effect from the shock-Powder Mill
Given Clean Bill of Health and the
Cause of the Shock Is not Known.

a oHSHC earthquake SHOCK was felt
in Kenosha at 1921 this morning
and as yet the cause of the trembling
of the earth has not been discovered.
1t IS known, however, that the shock
extended over a wide territory to the
south of Kenosha, but reports from
the north of this city indicate that
Kenosha was the most northerly point
of the quake. The shock was so small
In Kenosha that it was not noticed
! by a majority of the people Of the
city, but many of them felt it dis
tinctly and the shock seems to have
been unusually heavy along the shore
of the lake. The Meyers and Epstein
buildings in the down town district
were rocked for period OF three Sec
onds, but no serious damage was done.
In some places in the city the shock
was sufficient to knock small articles
off mantles and in one or two places
gas and electric fixtures were broken.
With the coming of the shock Re
knosha was at once the center of scores
of kilograms from other cities as it
was supposed in those cities that there
had been an explosion at the plant
| of the r. /. DUPONT Powder Company
at Pleasant Prairie. 1t was declared
that in Central Illinois the shock was
almost identical with that felt at the
| time the Pleasant Prairie plant was
destroyed a year ago. This time the
powder plant had clean bill of health
as there was no powder being made
there and none stored.
| At Milwaukee there was no indica-
ton of any trembling of the earth
but Chicago felt the shock distinctly
and it was also felt in many cities
Throughout Illinois. Reports to the
News from Aurora, DeKalb, Ottawa,
Joliet, Yorkville, Sandwich, Mendoza
and West Pullman all state that the
shock was clearly felt in these cities
and in some of them the shock was
much more violent and continued for a
longer time than in Kenosha. In Au-
rora people fed from their houses into
the street and glass was broken in
several houses. In Chicago the shock
seems to have been about the same as
in Kenosha and the big Office build
ings rocked and in several places the
occupants became panic stricken.
AS yet the scientists have not
figured out the cause of the quake and
| it is certain that in many places it
was thought to have been caused by
an explosion of dynamite or giant pow
der. There are no powder plants in
the neighborhood of Chicago with the
exception of the one at Pleasant Prai-
RE and it is certain that there was no
cause for the disturbance at this plant
Such slight shocks have been felt
in this territory in the past and at
those times they were followed by
/ tidal waves in the Kenosha harbor.
There was no material change in the
level of the water of the harbor this
morning.

DEATH OF WILLIAM Schultz.
Former Well Known Kenosha Man Died
at Mendoza Hospital on Saturday.

William Schultz, aged 80 years, form
erly a we'll known Kenosha man, died
at the state hospital at Mendoza on

general paresis. The deceased had
been an invalid for more than two
years and had been at the hospital for
a, little over year. He was son
of Nicholas Schultz and was born and
raised in Kenosha. Up to the time of
his illness he was widely known among
the people of the north side of the city.
The widow and two children survive.

1t is q matter on which merchant
can seldom be induced to unbosom
himself, but there is reason to believe
that all of the stores of the city suf
fered the usual losses from shoplifters
during the rush of the busy season
when the crowds gave the thieves an
opportunity to work in comparative
safety. The police are practically
powerless in the matter for even when
they catch these thieves the store
keeper can seldom be persuaded to
appear against them on the theory
that trade will be lost through the re
sentiment Of the friends of the guilty
parties. We believe that this is a
mistaken policy on the part of the
merchants but after all they are the
ones to decide where their own inter
ests lie so long as they do not com
plain of conditions for which they are
themselves directly responsible through
their own failure to prosecute known
thieves.

never HAD A CHANCE AT ALL
Conley Managed to Hold on for Eleven
Rounds and Then Is Knocked Limp
Over the Ropes-see End of Ring
Career for Former Kenosha Champion.

It was not a happy new year for
frankie Conley, the Kenosha pugilist,
for after nearly ten years of fighting
Frankie got his first real taste of the
mesmefizing knockout blow in the
ring at VERNON on Monday afternoon
and it was Jose Rivers, the Mexican,
that slipped it over on him. Conley
for the first time in his career went
down and out and hung limp over the
ropes until the referee could have
counted hundred. The downfall of
the Kenosha fighter came at the close
of eleven rounds of as hot fighting as
had ever been seen In an arena at
Vernon. Conley died game for up to
the round in which he met the fatal
punch he had been carrying the fight
to Rivers. He had not been a success
full aggressor however, for in several
of the rounds his bull dog tactics had
come close to costing him his reputa
ton. In the seventh round Conley
ran right into stiff left swing from
the Mexican and this foored him and =,
he was just able to get up in time to
save himself from being counted out.
The gong came to his rescue and when
the two toed the mark for the eighth
round there was still some of the old
fight in him.
Conley had bosted Rivers in
twenty round bout a short time ago
and he was slight favorlte when the
two entered the ring However, Riv-
ers had been busy since the last meet
ing and he was so fast that Conley
looked like an amateur in comparison.
The Kenosha scrapper had little the
better of the opening round of the
fight and right there his advantage
ended. In the succeeding rounds
Rivers gained steadily. Conley tried
his old tactics of butting in and fore
ing the fighting, but the Mexican
with the science of practiced ring
general stood back and waited his
chance. Conley got only few clean
blows during the entire eleven rounds
while Rivers kept pumping in rights
and lefts at opportune times until Con
ley was a sight to behold. He was
bleeding at both eyes and at the nose
and it was foregone conclusion after
Al 6a+ Ion1o1T Do
ed to take the count for the first time
in his ring career. y
In the tenth Conley showed signs of
being very weak and with the opening
of the eleventh round, after few
seconds of sparring, Rivers rushed at
Conley and got in a terrific right TO
the jaw which Jared Conley's head
back and then the Mexican followed
with a bombardment of rights and
lefts to the body and face until Con
ley fell limp over the ropes. 1t was. a
clean knockout and Conley was car
ried from the ring q beaten man.
1t is probable that the defeat will
wind up the ring career of the Ke-
nosha fighter as he had been going
back for year and his friends feel
certain that he will never be the same
old Conley again. Rivers by his vic
tory has won the right to meet Abe
Atten for the featherweight champion
ship.
