CHANGES IN SCHOOLS
Misses Farrill and Smith Re
sign as Teachers of the
High SCHOOL,
MISS YULE ASKS LONG LEAVE

Several changes are to be made in
the teaching force Of the Kenosha
high school before the opening of the
new year as Miss Catherine Smith,
head of the English department., has
sent her Resignation to the superinten-
dent and Miss Ethel Farrill, a teacher
of English in the school, has also re-
signed Both designations will take
effect at the close of the present year.
Miss Smith has been a teacher IN the
Kenosha high school for the past year
and Miss Farrill is just completing her
third year in the English department.
of the school. Both Of them have been
very successful in their work and their
retirement from the teaching force is
greatly regretted both by students and
by the officials Of the schools. No Sc
lections have as yet been made to fill
these vacancies, but many applications
for positions have been received and
it is thought that strong teachers will
be secured. In addition to the retire
ment of the two teachers in the Eng.
fish department Miss Maude Yule, who
is in charge Of the department of his!
tory, viii ask for years leave Of
absence in order that she may spend
a year in Europe. It is probable that
the leave will be granted and a new
teacher secured to take the place Of
Miss Yule for the year. 1t is limited
that there may be other changes in
the high school force, but no other
formal designations have been made to
the board. The teachers to fill the va
cancies will probably be selected at
the July meeting Of the board

SOCIALISTS IN CLASH.
Socialism Defenders Get so Noisy that
Police are Called to Stop Trouble.

Police are Called to Stop Trouble.
Followers Of the Social Labor and
Social Democratic parties clashed in
Kenosha on Saturday night and so
violent was the debate of the soap
box orators that it became necessary
to get out the police to bring peace
and make it possible for the meeting
which had been scheduled by the So
cial Labor party to continue. Philip
Veal Of Velleville, H., the national or
ganizer of the Social Labor party had
been in charge of the open air meet
ing and he had as his assistant Albert
Schmabel of Milwaukee. The Social
Democrats had been given an awful
roasting and had been accused of be-
ing political "trimmers when the
trouble started. The Social Democrats
began pouring questions at the orators
and the debate got so noisy that it re-
sembled riot. Another soap box was
the only solution and the members of
one faction went to another corner
while the meeting of the original fac
ton continued without further inter
ruption.

MILWAUKEE SINGERS HERE.
Lutheran Choral Society Gives Inter
esting Concert at Local Church.


One of the most notable musical
events ever known in Kenosha took
place at the German Lutheran church
on Sunday evening when the Luther
an Choral Society of Milwaukee gave
a concert at the German Lutheran
church. One hundred and fifty men,
Ibers Of the Milwaukee organization
came ITO Kenosha on a special train
on Sunday afternoon and Sunday even
ing they were greeted by crowd
which completely filed the big west
side church. The singers were under
the direction Of Prof. Koehler and
they rendered some of the most diff
ficult church music in manner that
proved very acceptable. The program
was made up of many of the classics
of church music. The society brought
to Kenosha rare treat and the visit
will long be remembered as an inspira-
ton to the members of the Lutheran
bodies in Kenosha.

SHOTS STOP FLEEING MEN
ALI Of Men Taken in Raid Appear in
Municipal Court This Morning and
Fines Of Ten Dollars and Costs Are
Assessed in Each Case.

The reform squad of the police de-
partment were busy late Saturday night
and early Sunday morning and as a
result of their activities nearly hun
dred and fifty dollars was added to the
treasury of the city this morning. The
police officers descended on house on
Congress street in which dozen Lith-
uanians were engaged in a game of
"twenty-one, (" and whole wagon load
were taken to the police station. Nine
of the men pleaded guilty to a charge
of gambling in the municipal court this
morning and fines of ten and costs
were assessed in each case.
The raid on the place was. attended
with great excitement. Just before mid
night Saturday night one of the men
who had been an active participant in
the game came into the police office
and declared that he had been defraud-
ed by some of the card players. The
chief took the man at his word and
ordered out the wagon, and taking the
man as guide the officers went to the
Congress street house. Everything was
quiet save in the one room where the
merry rattle of chips showed the pres
ence of the game. Officers were station
ed all about the house and then the
door was pushed in. The men attempt
ed to get away and one of them man
aged to elude the line of police officers
and one of the officers pulled his re-
volver aud fired four shots in the air.
The man dropped and the police had
no further trouble with any of them
attempting to get away. At the police
Office the men were booked as Tony
Macknivicz, Tony Barisch, Wesley Ora,
John Wajonokowvich, Peter Wechacol-
lisch Stanlaus Rinkenvich, Jim Bodis,
Joe Drekowsowvich and Brany zimnis-
kie.
The police failed to capture any
money in the raid, but they did man
age to get a lot of chips and other
gambling utensils, but when the cases
were called in court all of the men de-
clarod that they had been playing for
money and saved any trouble over pro-
ducing proof. The men declared to the
court that they did not consider it
wrong for them to play their game in
private house, but they were given
extended instructions from the court
and it is not expected that there will
bo any trouble along this line with the
same men until they have recouped
from the payment of the fines imposed
today.
The police, however, do not expect to
put an end to this kind Of gambling, as
the efforts made in the past have shown
clearly that the penitence of these men
is decidedly short lived.

field. The many conservatives VINO are
urging the candidacy of Mr.. Philip
say he might not obtain the nominal
ton, but that his candidacy would
give the conservatives of the state an
opportunity to stand up and be
counted as it is declared that no one
would vote for Mr.. Philip under any
idea but that he was a conservative.
The conservatives moreover say they
would like to see campaign conduct
ed in which Conservative makes a
fight for the nomination under an out
and out conservative banner.
The LaFollette people here are not
saying much about the state situation,
and although it S taken for granted
they will support Gov. McGovern for
the nomination there are large num-
Der of men in the LaFollette ranks
who are by no means political friends
Of the governor, no matter how he
may view them. Some of these men
also are among the closest to Senator
LaFollette of his followers in this
state.
The McGovern men are, however,
apparently not in any way worried
over the situation and they claim to
believe that the governor will be re-
nominated without very much trouble
and that none of the opposition so far
is of kind which will in any way
worry him. Gov. McGovern's friends
consider him stronger now than two
years ago.

WOONEN PAY HONDRS
Memory of Dead Members
of Kenosha Camp Recalled
at Impressive Service.
REV. PETER STAIR SPEAKER

Members of the Modern Woodmen
Iof America in Kenosha paid their
annual tribute to the dead on Sunday
and a great crowd Of the members of
the camp and friends of the order
gathered about the grave of the late
Arthur ii. Royce in the city cemetery
on Sunday afternoon and held the
usual ritualistic ceremonies after
which flowers were placed on the
graves of all the Woodmen buried in
the cemetery. Earlier in the day the
members of the committee in charge
Of the annual memorial had gone to
the other cemeteries in and about the
city and the graves of all dead mem
bers of the order were covered with
flowers.
The memorial services were of a
most impressive nature on Sunday.
Members of the camp met at the hall
just after two O'Clock and headed by
a drum corps and by the Forester
teams from Racine and Kenosha they
marched in solemn procession to the
cemetery. The services were under
the direction of Consul Charles
Sleight. They opened with music by
the quartette Of Park Avenue M. E.
church after which the regular ritual
istic services were carried out by the
Consul and the members Of the camp
After another selection from the quar-
tette the Rev. Peter Stair, pastor of
Park Avenue M E. church was intro
duced as the orator for the day. In
his brief address Mr.. Stair paid a high
tribute to the principles of Wood
craft. He spoke of the way in which
the members of the order had aided
neighbors not only by the payment of
benefits to their widows and orphans
after death, but by teaching them that
to live up to Woodmen principles made
their lives better and a greater power
for good to the world at large. He
spoke especially Of the work Of the
Woodmen in Kenosha and showed the
great good that had been done by the
order in the city.
At the conclusion of the address the
members of the Forester teams gave
the grand Woodmen honors in memory
of the dead.
The observance of the day was one
of the most successful ever held among
the Wooamen of Kenosha.

szKLENsKI GIVES BOND.
Man Charged With Unusual Crime Sc
cures Release from Jail Saturday.

Charles Szklenski, arrested last Fri
day on charges of manslaughter fol
lowing the death Of Michael Volukas
at the plant Of the Chicago Brass Com
pany, was released from jail late Fri
day afternoon when he furnished
bonds of $500. Attorneys representing
Szklenski are hopeful that he will
never be force to stand trial on the
charges against him. They claim that
the death of Volukas was so certainly
an accident that no jury would con-
yict Szklenski Of any degree Of man
slaughter. Friends of Szklenski claim
that he has been greatly affected by
the death of Volukas and that he is
deeply penitent that he should have,
been connected with joke which had
a fatal ending.

TRUAK NAMED AS A DIRECTOR
New General superintendent of Company
Won His Way From Railway Track
Worker to Head of One of Biggest
Industrial Companies in Country.
e-s...ss-....: ..s..~--aasv

At a meeting of the board of di.
rectors Of the Simmons Manufactur.
ing Company held at the offices of the
company on last Saturday afternoon
Otto Rudd was elected as director and
general superintendent Of the company
to fill the vacancies caused by the
resignation of w. w. Vincent, who
with v. Il. Award will operate the
Windsor Spring Company plant in the
near future. At the same meeting
Frank Ell. Truax, traffic manager OF
the company, was made a member Of
the board of directors he succeeding
Mrs. A. H. Lance, who retires from
the board.
The election Of Mr.. Rudd as gen
eral superintendent of the great plant
is a popular one with the thousands
Of men employed by the company. He
has climbed up to the highest place in
the factory from the ranks and his
advancement has been steady recog-
milton of his genius for organization
and manufacturing. For the past two
years Mr.. Rudd had served in the po-
sition Of assistant general superinten-
dent of the plant and his services had
been most valuable to the company in
working out problems Of the growing
plant.
Tie rise Of Mr.. Rudd from the posi-
ton of a railway track worker to that
of superintendent of a great plant is
an object lesson to immigrants COM
ing to this country. The story of the
life of General Superintendent Rudd is
a decidedly interesting one. Fifteen
years ago he came to this country from
Sweden and at the time he had no
idea of the language, the customs or
the demands upon Workmen. He had
an ambition to succeed. He started
work as track laborer on the North
ern Pacific Railway, but he remained
as track laborer but a short time for
he discovered that his ideas were val
liable and he soon left the track gang
and went to the Allis Chalmers COM
pany. After he had been in the en-
ploy of that company for a short time
he came to Kenosha andwent to work
as a superintendent of the Davy Clay
Ballast Company and from this COM
pany he went over to the Simmons
company taking a place in the foun-
dry. He has been connected with
nearly every department. of the big
plant and has worked himself through
these departments to the head of the
great plant. In the fifteen years Mr..
Rudd has worked himself up from a
track laborer with wage of dollar
a day to one of the most important
and highest salaried positions in Ke-
nosha's greatest manufacturing COM
pany and the greatest Of the kind in
the world.
His success is attributed to the fact
that he. appreciated the value Of his
own work and followed every oppor-
tunity offered him to be of value to
the men who employed him.

New Board in Charge of In
dustrial Education Will
Have Many Duties.
MANY DEPEND ON THEIR WORK
Members of Board Will Be Asked to
Provide Means for Working Boys of
Kenosha to Get Better Chance for
Continuing Their Educations

Of the four men appointed by the
school board to act as the Industrial
board of Kenosha, w. j. Frost, j. w.
DeCue and Hermann Mueller, have ac-
cepted. A fourth member will be ap-
pointed at the next meeting to take
the place of Mr.. Frabe, who feels
obliged to decline. Since this board
lis to begin planning its work soon it
is important that citizens should be
Informed about this movement that
concerns so vitally the public welfare.
The law requires that there be es-
tablished in every community of five
thousand inhabitants or more, a local
board of industrial education, consist
ing of two employers, two employees
and the city superintendent. 1t is
mandatory upon this local board to es-
tablish, foster and maintain industrial,
commercial, continuation, and evening
schools. The existing school buildings
and equipment shall be used as far
as practical.
The local board is required to report
before the first day of September each
year to the local taxing power the
amount of money needed to support
these schools and this sum "shell. be
levied as other taxes are leVied,'' and
9shall be equal to the amount of
money SO required by said local
board,'' not exceeding one-half mill,
and these moneys shall be set aside
for and expended by the local board.
It should be known by all citizens
that Wisconsin has rewritten her child
labor and truancy laws. By these
laws she has taken complete control
educationally, SO to speak, of the time
Of the child from its seventh to the
sixteenth year. She has provided that
no children under sixteen shall work
at any occupations hazardous to body,
health or character.
e. H. Miles, president of the Wis
consin State Board of Industrial Ed
ucation says: "The requirements are
very exact with reference to parents,
employers and officers of the law. The
employers of minors of any age should
read carefully the child labor law,
Chapter 479, to be had upon applica-
tion to the industrial commission at
Madison. The very necessity now of
the exercise of considerable care, and
the observance Of various regulations
in the employment Of minor should
be of mutual advantage to employee
and employer in making the employ
ment, once entered upon, more steady
and continuous, more seriously regard
ed and appreciated The laws are not
paternalistic, and yet they do make it
certain that the youth of Wisconsin
shall so far as the state can provide,
be healthy, intelligent, of good NOR
ais, and shall grow up into efficient,
capable men and women, worthy in all
respects of their citizenship"
