Burglars Climb Water Spout
at Home of Mrs. c.. A.
Lewis and Rob House.
THEY LEAVE SUIT OF CLOTHES

The police of the city this morning
made public the facts in connection
with daring burglary which occurred
at the home Of Mrs. Clara A. Lewis on
Park avenue on last Wednesday night.
| The facts in regard to the burglary
were suppressed on Thursday on ac-
count of the fact that the police were
hopeful that a clew they were follow
] ing would result in the arrest of the
men wanted for the crime. Entrance
| to the Lewis home, one of the most
prominent in the city, was made
| through bath room window on the
second floor of the house. The burg
| lar or burglars made their way to the
window by climbing water spout.
That they carried all sorts Of tools
common to burglars is shown by the
fact that hatchet and Jimmy
were left behind in the attic of the
/ house. The burglars ransacked the
second and attic floors Of the house and
managed to get away with several suits
of clothing and several pieces of sill
verware the total value of the loot
being in the neighborhood Of a humid
red dollars.
No one was in the house at the time
the burglary took place and the men
worked thoroughly from one room to
the other on the second floor Of the
building but did not invade the first
! floor of the building. In the attic of
the house the second story workers left
new suit of clothes, new hat and
several tools. The hat was purchased
at leading clothing store in Chicago.
1t is evident that the men took cloth
| ing from the trunks in the attic and
changed their own for this. The trunks
had been broken open with a Ratchet.
The burglary was discovered early
Thursday morning and report of it was
made to the police just before noon.
With the suit of clothes and the burg
lar tools as clews the police have been
making every possible effort to get
some line on the men who entered the
house, but thus far no arrests have
been made The Lewis house has been
vacant for many months as Mrs.
Lewis had spent the winter in Cali
fornia. She had returned to Kenosha
early this week but was at the home
Of her son on the night of the burg
larry The manner in which the house
was entered leads the police to believe
that the job was the work of some
experts who probably came into Keno
sha for the one night stand and man
aged to get away before the police had
been informed that burglary had
been committed

Why is baseball?
Millions go to it. Other millions
| read and talk about it. Since time be-
gan no sport wa $50 popular. Why is
baseball?
For one thing, it is clean.
No foul language. No gambling
no betting booths. Nothing about il
to shame woman or make a fellow
ashamed Of himself when he goes home
to think it over.
Then, too it is stirring
No loafng. No soldering. No
hanging back until the farewell whis
| tie blows. But everybody alert, intent
roofing or working as if the next
minute held the fate of the world. A
kind of work that calls for the best
that is in a chap-the fttest physical
trim; the quickest, surest thinking
In many place the bonehead gets by
but not on the diamond There TIC
one thing that counts is efficiency
Reputation, pull, will not save fell
low unless he delivers the goods. II
is a case of the last ounce every
minute of the game.
Finally, it is democratic.
No artificial distinction. No upper
and lower crusts. But bleachers and
boxes in one big brotherhood blend,
for the moment leveled by common
interest to the unifying spirit of a
common humanity.
Democracy is the greatest thing
there is, and the democracy Of sport
is one of its finest expressions.
So do not make an excuse when you
so to the ball game. Be proud of it.
Be mighty glad that there is ball
game to 60 to.
And do not let the professionals
have a monopoly of the playing. Get
a ball and bat and bunch of young
sters and go to it yourself Madison

LAY PLANS ON THURSDAY NIGHT
Leaders in Play Ground Movement
Meet at City Hall ard Survey of City
Will be Completed in Six Weeks -
Finding to Dictate Plans for Future.

A meeting in the interests of play
grounds was held in the Office OF super
intendent Of schools at the city hall on
Thursday evening. There were present
Rev. Carl Buenger, president of the
park commission, and A. II. Lance and
Joseph Funck, members of the play
ground committee of that commission
also P. c. Torrey, G. G. Brown and Mr.
and Mrs. G. IL. G. Bachelor, officers
of the old play ground association OF
Kenosha; also A. E. Buckmaster as
representative Of the committee of the
school board, on wider use of the
school plant, Mrs. Tom Barden and
Mrs. Bradford were present at the
meeting.
Chas. f. Weller, secretary of the
play ground and recreation association
OF America, who spoke in the city hall
early in the month, came up from Chi
cago to attend the meeting. Plans
were discussed for furthering the work
Of the fell secretary of G. F. Stimson,
who was expected to reach Kenosha
Thursday and be present at the meet
ing but who was unavoidably detain-
ed in Kansas City. The members pres
ent resolved themselves into a temp
orary advisory board to cooperate
with Mr.. Stimson, while he is making
his survey of Kenosha and getting the
recreation movement started and plac-
ed on reliable up to date footing in
our city.
The people of Kenosha who have
taken an interest in the advancement
of the play ground movement feel con-
WINGED that the time has come for ac-
tion and it is certain that the work
of Mr. Stimson will go a long way
toward showing the people Of the city
the need of play grounds. The work
of Mr. Stimson will be along the lines
of investigating the exact conditions
of the city and the demand for play
places for the children. He is work
ing under the direction of the ma
tional association and his work in Re
nosha is along the same line as that
done in other cities by the association.
This plan of making a survey before
expending money in the laying out of
play grounds has been found Of great
value.
1t will probably take Mr., Stimson
two months to complete this survey.

S0LO|STS ARE VERY PLEASING
Splendid Training is Shown by Chorus
of Seventy Members and Bach's Or
chestra Adds Charm to Beautiful IN
depreciation of Haydn's Masterpiece.

| L
annual musicale at the Coliseum on
| Frilay evening when the ''Creatlon
| by Haydn, the most tuneful of the
great oratorios was sung by chorus
of seventy, assisted by some of the best
production was repetition of the
splendid triumphs scored by the choral
society in former years and it was list
ened to by great crowd of people
which comfortably filed the great au-
ditorium. The audience listened III
earnest enjoyment to the singing of the
wonderful music Of Haydn and most
satisfactory proof of appreciation was
shown in the continuous applause which
greeted the solOists and the members of
the great chorus. The conductor,
Rev. f. T. Walter was repeatedly forced
to recognize the appreciation of the
work of the chorus. The instrumental
numbers in the performance were fur
nished by the Bach orchestra of Mil
waukee and more charming accom-
paniment to the oratorio could not have
been provided. Miss Margaret Becker,
one Of the best known of Kenosha s
younger musicions presided at the
piano and her rendition of the difficult
Haydn music was continued charm.
The singing Of the various choruses by
the choral society was most effective.
The precision, the attack, tone and ex-
preston were almost remarkable con-
sidering the fact that the seventy mem
bers Of the chorus had been trained
for only short time.
One of the real delights of the even
ingo was the singing of Miss Lucille
Stevenson Of Chicago. It was not the
first appearance Of the noted soprano III
Kenosha and she brought new and
greater pleasures to the unsteady in
clined in the city. Her singing of the
arias was especially pleasing. She sang
in wonderful tone and with an express
sion which gave assurance that she had
caught the echo of the meaning of the
words Of the master. Her great volume
of tone made the production more nota-
bic and her happy manner made her
every appearance signal for applause.
Niels Hougaard Nielsen, of Pittsburg,
the tenor, was one of the strong solo
lists of the evening. He rendered the
lines of "Urielo in a wonderfully clear
tenor and the agreeable quality of his
voice and his artistic singing gained
him a strong place with the large au
dience.
Gustaf Holmquist, well known to the
Kenosha musical public, was in wonder
full voice and he brought his splendid
bass into full play in the rendition of
the bass solos in the oratorio.
In all the production of ''Creation"
was one of the most notable musical
events in the history of the city.
1t is probable that the performance
will not prove great financial success
but the officers Of the society are hope
full that the financial returns will be
sufficient to meet all of the expenses
IF the great undertaking.
