Edw. Jones and Lloyd Driv,
err of kenosha Wireless
operators at Moro Castle
SEND WORD TO WASHINGTON

Two Kenosha boys are having an in
innate part in the troubles between
Mexico and the United States. They
are Lloyd Driver and Edward Jones,
wireless operators on board the Ward
Steamer MORO Castle, and they trans
mitted to the United States govern
ment officials the facts in regard to the
recent detention of the steamer in the
harbor Of Vera Cruz under the direc-
tion Of President Huerta. Driver and
Jones are graduates Of the Kenosha
school of wireless telegraphy and they
left kenosha a year ago to begin ac-
tive work. They were at once assign
ed to the Ward Steamer Moro Castle
and they have been with the steamer
ever since. Drivers home is on Prairie
avenue here and young Jones is an
Englishman who came to this country
only q few years ago and made his
home with the Drivers. Both of the
young men are expert wireless opera
tors and they are certain to play an
Important part in future developments
about the Mexican waters. On the
steamer which was held in the Vera
Cruz harbor with the guns Of a Mexi-
can man Of war trained on her was
Mrs, John Lind, the wife Of the special
envoy Of the United States to Mexico.
1t was claimed that five of the men,
bers of the party of Felix Diaz were
also on board the steamer and this was
the pretext of the Mexican govern
ment to hold the boat in the harbor.
The steamer was released after the
United States government had made a
formal demand and the Moro Castle

WIFE GIVEN DIVORCE.
Mrs. Emily Schultz is Granted Decree
from Nicholas Schultz long Missing

In the municipal court on Friday
Judge G. E. Randall handed down a
decree of divorce in the suit Of Mrs.
Emily Schultz against her husband
Nicholas Schultz. The defendant did
net appear to answer the charges of
cruelty and failure to support made by
the wife in her complaint and it was
shown by the evidence that he had
been missing from Kenosha for more
than two years and that in that time
he had contributed nothing to the sup
port of his wife and children. The
couple were married in Kenosha in
1898 and are widely known among the
residents of the north side Of the city.
There were tive little children as a
result of the union and the mother was
given the custody of them by the order
of the court. Schultz is supposed to be
in Los Angeles, Cal.

PLAN TO AID WOMEN.
Organizations Seek to AID Working
Girls to Choose Vocation.

As early as the spring of 1911 there
were a series of considerations of 3D.
portunities for women in social work
among small groups of the women Of
the university, particularly encour-
aged by the Young Women IS Chris
tan association. In the fall of that
year the interest in the subject had
developed into something of a gen.
eral character and instead of the con.
slderation of opportunities within g
particular field for particular group
OF women consideration was given
to the larger problems of opportunities
open to all college women. The Mad.
son branch of the association of col
leglate alumnae took a leading part in
encouraging the investigation and dis.
eussion and in promoting a movement
toward Qualification in one of the ser-
lous situations that confront college wo-
men-that which bears upon the choice
OF vocation and the ACHE vsment of an
independent career. This resulted in
the first vocational conference at the
university.
The question of vocational opportuni-
ties for women had now interested the
women of the university so generally
that committee in the self-gevern-
ment association was proposed, The
appointment of this committee made it
possible for a general rather than a
particular organization to promote the
further consideration of these prob
lens. Out of this organization issued
the second vocational conference or
ganized and carried through entirely by
the women in the university.
Repeated requests for information
and guidance both from women in the
university and from women. through
out the state, it was thought advisable
to give these papers permanent form
and a larger distribution and use
through the publication of this bulle-
tin.
Over fifty students sought the per-
sonal suggestions, advice, and counsel
Of these speakers with reference to TAX
ing up lines of work that had been
discussed.
Outlines of college courses leading to
vocations are printed in the bulletin to
give more explicit information as to the
preparation required. Qualified stu
dents who can not take up residence
study may thus pursue very eensid-
cradle part of their studies at home.
Full Information will be supplied con-
corning any study that may be pursued

Kenoslla County Milk Deal,
ers Watching Injunction
Suit on Trial in Chicago
CLAIM RULES TO STRINGENT

Kenosha county milk producers are
awaiting with more than passive inter
est decision in the courts on an In
junction suit which has just been fled
in the courts of Chicago against the
Chicago Health Commissioner and 9TH
er officials there in an effort to have
declared unconstitutional the milk ordi-
nance Of the city Of Chicago as being
oppressive and unfair.
Local shippers of milk into Chicago
have had to meet the conditions of the
ordinance there and have found it very
difficult to meet the conditions imposed
on them. A dispatch from Chicago
tells of the suit as follows:
Intricate mechanism for the record
ing of pasteurized milk, as demanded
under a city ordinance has become the
subject Of an attack in a bill for an

Federal Official Comes to Kenosha to
Investigate Case of George Balls

Inspector Crawford of the federal
immigration bureau in Chicago came
to Kenosha this morning to make an
investigation into the ease Of George
Balls, Greek immigrant, who is suf-
fering from tuberculosis. The man ar
rived in Kenosha from Greece about
three months ago and it is claimed that
he was suffering from tuberculosis
three years before he left Greece. He
was located on Friday night living
at section camp near Truesdell. In
the same room with him five other men
were sleeping. Inspector Crawford ar
ranged for hearing on the case in the
municipal court this morning but the
friends of Balls secured an attorney
to look after his interasts and the hear
ing was adjourned until nexu Monday.
An effort will be maae to have the man
depofted, but nothing cen be done until
all the facts in the ease are submitted
to the federal authorities at Washing.

being held at the county jail.

The report Of the municipal court Tor
the quarter ending October LIST is a
most satisfactory one. Putting the
matter purely on a commercial basis
which is the least Of the benefits ac-
cruing to the community through the
operations of the court, the investment
in this court is one of the best the peo-
pie ever made. The court is returning
to the people Of the city and county
fully $4,000 a year over and above the
cost of maintenance and there is every
reason to believe that the returns from
the court will increase in the future
rather than diminish. The excellent
showing made is due to the careful
management by the court officials and
they have every reason to be proud Of
The results obtained since the estab-
lishment of the court.

COUNTY GETS THtL|ONs SHARE.
Total Receipts of Nearly $4,000 Are
Turned Over to the City and County
Treasurer by Clerk of the Court
Tully This Morning.


James E. Tully, clerk of the munich
pal court, today sent to the city and
county treasurers his report of the
business Of the municipal court for the
quarter ending with the first of October
ard the report shows earnings for the
city and county in the amount of 49,
1924. Of this amount $1,229.39 was
paid into the city treasury and $l503.55
was paid to County Treasurer Hartman,
The report covers three of the bust
est months in the history of the muni-
cipal court and the menth of Septem-
Der was close to q record breaker. A
hundred and forty eight cases for yiol-
alton of the city ordinances in which
the fines and costs Were paid ia cash
were tried in the court during the quar-
ter and in addition about forty cases
Were tried where time was served in
jail for the fines and costs. The total
disbursements in connection with the
handling of the city cases was but
$3l.77 and nearly ell Of this was for
the payment Of in tiers fees. 1t
is q noticeable f., that more than
ninety per cent Of the names appear
ing en- the report as defendants for
violation Of the city ordinances are the
names of FOREIGNERS
In the list Of the state cases tried
in the court there were 81 criminal
cases and the receipts to the county
from fines and costs in these cases Were
Si,0SAa4. The receipts from cases in
the justice civil branch of the court
were $12S.16 in the circuit criminal
5000.
The increase ia the amount paid to
the county is q considerable one this
quarter this was due to the fact that
a number of classes of eases which had
heretofore been handled under the city
ordinances were brought under the
state laws making the lines and costs
payable to the county rather than to
the city.
The reports for the first three quar-
teFs of the year show that the court
is now much better than self sustain
ing. The returns to the city for the
year will be slightly in excess of $4,000
and to the county nearly as much. The
total cost OF running the court for the
year will be only a little in excess of
$4,000. Careful management Of the
business Of the court by the judge and
other officials has greatly reduced the
running expenses and it is expected
that even greater reductions will be
made in future months.

If that ornamental lighting system
for Wisconsin street is half as good as
we think it is going to be the merchants
and property owners on every business
street in the city are going to want
something of the kind on their street
and it will not be long before there is
a vast change for the better in the APP
pearance of the business sections of
the city. For one thing the unsightly
poles are coming down and that is an
improvement that is commented upon
by every one using the street. The
cost of maintenance is reasonable CON
sideripg the service that is promised
and unless the experience of Kenosha
merchants differs from that Of the mer-
chants in other cities the increase in
business brought to them will more
than make up any added expense that
the lighting system entails on them.
just how much of a business pull the
lights give is something that cannot be
reduced exactly to dollars and cents
and figured in four points of decimals,
but it should show in the totals.

BREAK CRY TOOL BOX.

The city has been robbed again,
Some time Friday night or this morn
ing thieves broke into the tool box of
the city water company ON Balm aven-
ne and managed to get away with two
hundred pounds of lead. Not satisfied
with the led found in the tool box the
thieves broke up a Kettle used in melt
ing the lead and increased their booty
by few pounds. The box had been
sec9rely locked when the workmen
left it 81 Friday. The police have not
been able to get any clue to the iden-
tity of the thieves, but If they are
found they will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent Of the law 1t is expect
ed that an effort will be made to dis
pose of the lead to junk shops and all
keepers Of such places have been

One of the increased expenditures
that will have to be provided for in
the budget is the appropriation for the
pauper COMMITTEES. If the demands
made on the poormaster after the first
freezing weather the other day are any
criterion of what is to come later,
more money will have to be spent in
taking care of the city Is dependents
this year than last When we are
wiser all Of this work will be done from
cent al bureau that will have direct
supervision of every charitable expen-
diture including those Of the city made
fo any purpose whatever anywhere in
the city, something along the line Of
the system employed by the Associated
Charities, but on much more extend
ed scale, which will prevent duplica-
tion of relief work. AS matters are
handled now it does not seem to cut
down the expense to the city to any
great extent, no matter how much is
expended by relief organizations of
every kind.

There is absolutely no conflict be-

the latter movement. It's policy is to
maintain small but efficient regular
army aud to rely chiefly on a patriotic,
properly trained and we'll organized
militia. In France enlightened states
men, realizing that the frenzied rival
ry in armament spells bankruptcy, are
advocating the gradual adoption of the
American policy and of substituting a
democratic and truly national militia
for an army dive ed from the people.
Complete disarmament is merely an
ideal. For the present intelligent

agreement is the proposal now gaining
ground. Whom does it menace, and

would be simply incalculable. In
