Mayor Dan G. Head did his first
actual service as head of the police
department of the city ON Tuesday

o'clock Tuesday evening. When the
young woman objected to his advances
he struck her in the face and started
to run. just then Mayor Head came
along in his automobile and lie took
after the fellow who ran west on Park
street. At Chicago street the fellow
turned south and at the alley in the
middle of the block he started to don.
bic on the mayor. The mayor aban-
doned the automobile and struck dowa
the muddy alley after the fellow. bItt
he managed to get away and hid him
self somewhere about the old organ
factory. The girl had fed by the time
the mayor returned to the corner

mayor has given the police good de-
scription of the masher' and it i
thought that he will be captured.

CHIEF ISERMANN SORE.
Thief Invades Chicken Coops of Head
of Fire Department Tuesday Night.

Chief Of the fire department, Henry
lsermann is sore. This is not merely
a fit of anger but a soreness that goes
clear to the bone for last night some
miscreant interfered with the fresh
egg supply of the chiefs home when
he entered the official chicken coop on
Bond street and went away with eight
fat hens. The chief was awakened by
the cackling of the chickens but think
ing it was simply an echo Of the Cen
trail Park chicken fight he paid no
special attention to the matter. When
he Went out this morning he found the
chicken house empty. The eight fat
hens had been carefully nursed by the
chief through the long winter and he
is making every possible effort to get
some line on the identity Of the man
who broke the lock and stole the
chickens. As yet the police depart
ment has not been able to get any
clew.

VICTORY IS WITH The CHURCH
Judge Randall Dismisses Suit of Men
Who are Said TO Have Belonged to
an Organization Forbidden Under
the Rules of the Archbishop.

A judgment of great interest to
Polish Roman Catholics in all parts
Of the archdiocese of Milwaukee was
handed down in the municipal court
this morning when Judge Randall
granted a motion for the dismissal of
the action started i'll this city last
September in which a number Of Of
fcials of the Polish Association Of
America We're named in an injunc-
tional proceeding brought by Joseph
Kosmatka, Frank BieloWski and CAST
mer RozmarynoWski, all Of Milwaukee.
The three men named as plaintiffs
III the action had been elected to rep
resent certain Milwaukee Polish So
cieties in the convention and when
the convention refused to recognize
their credentials they secured an in
junction against the leaders. Later
this temporary injunction was dis
solved but the Milwaukee men insisted
that the fight for their rights be con-
tinued in court and sought perma-
nent injunction.
It is held that the decision in the
action is Of most Importance on ac-
count of the fact that it fixes the
standing Of these men in the National
Polish Association and that in the
future there will be no question of
barring them from membership In the
organization. Objection was made to
the seating of these men as delegates
OIL account of allegations that they
held membership in a Milwaukee or
ganization which had be,n placed I'M
der the ban by the leaders of the
church. They had refused to sever
their connections with this organiza-
tion and held that the insurance feat
ure of the societies to which they be-
longed made the matter one for the
courts rather than for the delegates to
the convention to decide. A bitter
warfare was waged when the case was
first brought in the local court. At the
hearing this morning the plaintiffs did
not appear in person or by their at
torneys, but the officials of sshe nation
al organization were all in court to
go to trial on the case if necessary.
It is said that this action is also
taken in consideration in big action
brought in Milwaukee in which several
Of the bishops of the Roman Catholic
Church are named as defendants and
where a very large sum is demanded
for damages. Judge Randall granted
the motion to dismiss the action and
the formal judgment stating all the
facts in the case will be signed with
in the next few days.

Judge John c. Karel of Mil
waukee Gives Interesting
Lecture to Mems Club.
SHOWS GROWTH IN BIG TRACT

The interesting story Of the great
territory of Alaska and its develop
ment under the care of the federal
commissions was told to many Keno
sha people on Tuesday evening when
the Hon. John G. Karel of Milwaukee,
former candidate for governor Of Wis
consiny was the guest of honor at a.
meeting of the Men, Club of St. Mat
thew S Church. Judge Karel came to
take the place of Maclay Hoyne of
Chicago, who was to have spoken be-
fore the club but who was prevented
on account of i'll health.
The address given by Judge Karel
was one of the most notable travelogues
ever given before a Kenoshn audience.
For more than an hour and a half he
talked of the beauties of Alaska and
the lecture was of greatest interest.
1t was illustrated by more than $50
beautifully colored views of various
places in the great territory of the
northwest. Judge Karel has way Of
seeing things that are interesting and
important and he has way of telling
of the things he sees in manner to
make his description of compelling in
terest. In his lecture he told of the
trip from Seattle to the interior Of
Alaska, Of the cities and towns, Of the
mines and miners, of the civic pride of
the people and of the many improve
ments that have been made in recent
years. His description of the great
mining interests and of the agricultur
al activities of the territory were es-
pecially interesting.
Following the address before the
club Judge Karel was the guest Of
honor at an informal reception given
him at the Elks Club rooms at which a
number of the well known men Of the
city were present.

FINED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.
Mar Charged With Grand Larceny
Draws Heavy Fine in Court Today.

w Barkewicz, Russian arraigned
In the municipal court today on
charges of grand larceny, drew an I'M
usual sentence. He was charged with
stealing money and jewelry to the
value of $4,000 from Adam Verronas.
He admitted the charge in the war
rant and insisted that he was willing
to make restitution. In open court he
paid to the complaining witness the
sum of $4,000 and the court then as
sessed fine of $40 and the costs Of
the action, announcing to tie 'defen-
dant that the fine was one dollar for
every dollar he had stolen. The de-
PENDANT was cash customer and he
paid into the court a total of $90.9S
and was discharged. The complaining
witness received his full claim for the
stolen property.

eras meeting on Monday evening.
Mayor Dan @. Head had given Super
intendent Bradford permission to use
the council chamber for the meeting,
but Alderman Filbin notified the JAM
tor that it could not be used. The al
derman held that he was in charge of
the city hall and that his consent was
necessary. F'ilbin carried the bluff
through and the teachers were forced
to 60 to the Frank school and the night
schools were dismissed in order to per-
nit the teachers to meet. The board
has made its protest to the council
strong and it is probable that the
council will take formal action to
throw open the council chamber for
the use of the school organizations in
the future.

Many Women Appear for
Registry at Two Registra-
ton Days This Week.
SECOND WARD WOMEN LEAD

Women are going to claim their
right of suffrage at the coming pri-
mary and city election and this fact
was indicated by the large number OF
women who were registered in the
various polling places of the city dur
Ing the last two days While the
women Of the north wards failed to
show any interest in the registration
there was large number of women
registered in all of the south and west
wards In the second ward twenty
four women We're registered as voters
in the ward. They even outnumbered
the number of male voters registered
in this ward. The second ward was
leader in the registration Of the wom-
men voters, but the third and fourth
wards were close seconds.
It is understood that an organized
campaign will be made to interest the
women Of the city in the election of
men for the board of education and
it is certain that there will be a larger
vote among the women of the city
this year than at any election held
in Kenosha.
The registration of the women vot-
ers was the feature of the new regis
tration as returned to the city clerk
by the boards of registry this morn
ing. Male voters did not show a great
deal of interest and the total regis
tration for the whole city is only
little over six hundred. Some inter
est was shown in the fifth and eighth
wards, the registration in these
wards leading. OF course the largest
number Of the voters plan to register
when they vote at the primary cleo
tion.

MANY OWNERS ARE OMITTED
Property Owners Who Signed Releases
to Railway Company Not Mentioned
in Suit for condemnation--F Fight is
Political Issue on North Side.

Judge E. B. Belden has set Saturday
March 22nd as the date for the hear
ing Of the petition of the Milwaukee
Light, Heat and Traction Company for
the acquisition, by condemnation, of
the righG to operate an interurban
railway over the tracks of an urban
railway now existing on certain
streets of the city of Kenosha, and it
is certain that the company is seek
ing to follow every demand of the
law in making the petition as today
the petition of the company, one of
the longest petitions for condemnation
ever filed in the local court, is given
its first publication on another page
of the Evening News. The publication
of the petition for condemnation will
be continued until the hearing is call
ed by Judge Belden in the circuit
court.
The petition brought by one of the
property owners on Milwaukee avenue
for the condemnation of the right of
way for the company was set for
hearing on March 18th, but it is prob
able that some objection will be made
to this petition on account of the fact
that formal notice of it was not given
by publication. The attorneys for the
railway company hold that the petit
ton must be published ten times preyi-
Gus to the hearing in the courts.
The formal publication Of thu p4ai
ton shows that the railway company
has not sought to bring into the court
action any of the property owners
who have given releases to the com.
pany to operate on the street and it
is thought that these people will in
no way be made part Of the court
fight. The question has been raised as
to whether or not the signing of re-
leases by these people has taken
away their right to receive benefits or
damages in case the matter goes to
commission. This will probably be
matter for the court and the commission
named to appraise the value of the
to decide. It is probable that
there will be some objections raised if
damages should be paid to portion
of the property owners and not to all
of them, but it is probable that the
railway company viii see to it that All
people who signed releases are prop
erly taken care of.
The demand of the property owners
and the railway company for condem-
nation are almost identical and for this
reason the point at issue will be de-
cided in court even if the petition of
the one property owner is not fully
recognized by the court as having met
all the provisions of the law.
The condemnation action is causing
a lot of interest among the people of
Milwaukee avenue and the north side
Of the city and it is being made more
or less Of political issue among the
people on the north side of the CITY.
The hearing of the petitions will not
come up. until after the primary cleo
ton.
