NEW SEMESTER OPENS
Schools of City Show Large
Increase With Opening
of New Term.
TWO new TEACHERS ADDED

The new semester Of the schools of
Kenosha opened this morning with an
Increased attendance at many Of the
graded schools and with one Of the
largest increases in the high school
ever, known. Fifty-ivc new members
of the freshman class entered the high
school this morning bringing the total
enrolment Of the school up to over
three hundred and seventy, the largest
in it's history and making the fresh
man class by far the largest class ever
known in any of the Kenosha schools.
There have been many promotions in
the graded school and the stores where
school books are handled We're crowded
with buyers this morning.
There has been a considerable in
crease in some of the grade schools.
This is truo\of the fifth grade and the
board this morning found it necessary
to open q new fifth grade room at the
Deming school. This has been placed
in charge of Miss Maude Smith, form
erly a teacher in the school at Bristol.
The increase in students in the
commercial department of the high
school made necessary the employment
of new teacher and Miss Hattie Fink
graduate Of the University of Wis.,
consin, has been employed to teach
commercial arithmetic and physical
geography. This viii make possible
some relief for the teachers who have
been in charge of these branches and
who found it impossible for them to
take care Of the work with the large
advance in the number Of pupils.
There is a small increase in the lower
grades. Many children are being kept
out of school on account of the pre-
valence of contagious diseases, but il
is expected that within B short time
all of the grades for smaller children
will be filed. The addition to the
Frank school IS not yet ready for use,
but it will be opened to the children
in a short time.

MANY TEAMS TO BE ENTERED
Elimination Games for State Basket
Ball Championship to Be Started in
Near Future-Busy Time for High
School Players Is Assured

Although but few teams have really
been eliminated from the race for
places in the eighth Wisconsin nigh
school basketball tournament to be
held at Lawrence College, Appleton,
March Is, 90 and 80, the race is be-
ginning to narrow down to a few
teams in each division and there will
be merry fight for places during the
next six or eight weeks.
During the first three or four years
of the tournament at Lawrence one de-
feat would put team out of the run
ming for place, but each year more
teams try for entrance into the tour
nament and this year the teams ap-
pear to be so evenly matched that a
team may get into the tournament
though defeated two or three times.
Seventv-one high school teams have
been entered for the eight places in
the tournament, and at least ten more
are expected to enter at once but the
race at present appears TO nave mar
rowed down to thirty-six teams, or
about one-half OF those entered, al
though it is possible that some of the
teams which have gotten poor start,
may come up at the last and prove
their right to contest Tor the cham
plonsmp.
Twelve of the teams entered for the
three places from the east central iii
vision, still have an excellent chance
to win place in the tournament.
Those making the best records to date
in that divisions are: Amigo, Apple
ton, BnlEon, Fond du Lac, West Green
Bay, lola, Menasba, Manitowoc, Osh-
kosh, Marsbfold, Oconto and Sheboy-
gan. Several other teams with good
records have not as yet been entered.
In the southern division, ten teams
are still in the running with good
records. They are; Brodhead, Column

RAMBLER WAS FIRST
Jeffery Company of KenOstta
Again Makes Record at
Chicago ShOw,
FACTORY Big AID TO SALES

For the fourth consecutive year tho
Thomas 3. JeGory Company of Keno
sba carried away the bonors of the
Chicago automobile show for when the
show closed on Saturday night at ten
clock the record Of sales showed that
the Kcnosha company was far in adj
vance Of any of its competitors in the
sale Of cars. The Rambler managers
returned to Kenosha this morning with
la total Of 1877 bona fde orders for
cars taken during the single week that
the show continued and in addition to
this they brought back hundreds or
prospects which will be turned over 10
statesmen in different parts Of the
country. The vast business done by
the company at the show practically
assures the sale Of the entire output
Of the Rambler plant for the year. 1t
means much for KeDosaa as it gives
assurance that the Jclfery plant will
he one of the big Kenosha industrial
institutions that VIII run continuously
during the year. The Cross Country"
was the hit Of the show and while tine
big bulk of tie orders caken by the
Kenosha company were for this type
Of car other types also met with
ready sale.
The Jeffrey booth at the show YRS
not abandoned at the close Of the ex-
L.bit Of pleasure cars and this morning
the Jeirery sgIesmen started in a new
fight to sell service automobiles manu-
facturcd by the Kenosha plant. The
line is not a large one, but it stands
at tie head Of the lines and there IL
little doubt but that the sales Of
service vehicles Of the company viii
be unusually large.
One Of the biggest aids to the Jef-
ferry company during the show was the
factory at Keuo,ha and the records Of
the week show that 3G0 people came
from the Chicago snow to visit the
Home Of the Rambler. - 1t is stat
ed that fully one]hird Of the people
who came to Kenosha to visit the fac
tory we're listed as buyers Of Ram
bier ears.
At the show Of service vehicles open
ed this morning Kenosha Will have
new exhibitor as for the first time
showing will be made By the Peter
Pirscb Company The showing is made
up Of equipment for automobile fire
apparatus and it IS certain to attract
wide attention. For some time tho
Peter pirsch Company has been con
sidered leader in this line of bust
mess and thes exhibit at the Chicago
show is expected to greatly increase
The business Of the company.

ASSUMED LARGE OBLIGATIONS
Liabilities of Store Placed at $4,000
and Assets at S4,00O-In Health and
Hard Luck Cause Business Failure
of Well Known Main Street Merchant

The Hoye Grocery on Main
street failed to open for business this
morning and this afternoon Oliver P.
Hoye, proprietor of the store for the
past three years filed a voluntary pc
tition in bankruptcy in the United
States court for the eastern district of
Milwaukee. Attorney Alfred L. Drury
who appeared for Mr.. Hoye in the
matter stated that it would be impos-
sible until after claims had been filed
to give complete statement Of the La
bilities and assets but that an estimate
had been made that the liabilities
would be in the neigbborhood of $4,000
and the assets about $4,000. The assets
are made up entirely of the stock of
the grocery and such outstanding ac-
counts as may be collected.
1t had been an open secret for some
time that the Hoye store was not N
the best possible financial condition,
but Mr.. Hoye had hoped to adjust his
indebtedness to such an extent that it
would be possible for him to continue
in business. The store had done a good
business, but debts that had been as
sumed as the result of several partner
ships piled up to such an extent that
they became too brdensome and Mr..
Hoye decided to give all Of the credi-
tors an equal chance in the division of
the assets of the business. No list of
creditors has been issued, but it is de-
cIared that the heaviest creditors of
the store were some of the close rela-
tives of Mr.. Hoye. These people had
advanced money to permit the cOntinu-
ance of the business aQd had endorsed
the paper of Hoye in local banks and
with companies with which he was do
ing business. The store has had var
led career and it is claimed that it was
not paying institution from the first.
Several different concerns were in
charge of the store during its operation
Of eight or nine years and finally it
was taken over by Mr.. Hoye about
three years ago. He assumed the debts
Of the different partnerships formerly
in charge of it and these were a heavy
load. In addition to this Mr.. Hoye was
i'll for many months and unable to give
his best efforts to the business.
Tt lis not known what will be done
with the stock. Several people have of
fered to purchase the store and contin-
ue the business and it win be up to
the creditors to decide just what will
be done. It is expected that a trustee
viii be named at the hearing in Mil
waukee this afternoon and that an eff
fort will be made to clean up the bust
ness within a short time.
The condition of the health Of Mr..
Hoys will make it necessary that he re-
tire from active business life until he
is given a chance to regain his health.
1t is said that the local creditors Of the
store have only claims for small
amounts.

Victor Moore in Shorty McCabe. -
After Kid Burns Moore 1ankered for
the high places Of evening suit hero
ism and dreamed Of parloying his vein
Of effective pathos into a Warfeldian
kingdom, but when the role of
Shorty McCabc" was submitted to
him, he definitely decided to remain
specialist in this and similar genre
types. Shorty is a former champion
lightweight who is (discovered''
training young milIianaires in the gem
tie art of bag punching. Thus logi-
cally in an environment of aristocracy
he proceeds to "wise" up his friends
and discomft his enemies to the ac-
compartment of q philosophy that is
said to represent both the argot and
the ideas of 1912. charles Dickson,
farceur and author, has staged the
comedy, which is in four acts and re-
quires a large company In the cast
are Jean Galbreath, Emma Littlefeld,
Clara Reynolds Smith, Harry L. Frank
lin, Erville Anderson. Lottie Tart, Sam
Collins, Evangeline Doris, Bertrand
Burton, Aline Morrison, Katherine La
Sale, Henry Warwick, Nicholas Burn
ham, Percy Denton and Frank Lun.
Frazee and Lederer are the producers
of 'Shorty McCabe," and George w.
Lederer, who had groomed the produc-
ton, is especially interested in the love
story, which introduces the wealthy
Sadie, who is feminine counterpart
of the hero, with a tempered phraseolo-
gy, and give Moore a vent for his
romanticism.
