henos.la Man Charged with
Assaulting LibertyviIIe
Girl Makes Denial.
GIRL TELLS STORY TO JURY

Henry Williams, former Kenosha
man, and son Of John e. Williams, was
placed on trial in the circuit court at
Waukegan Tuesday Afternoon on
charges Of having made a criminal as
sault on Florence Scheller of Liberty
vile, Ill. Many Kenosha people went
to Waukegan this morning to appear as
character witnesses Tor NnIiams and it
is expected that the case will be given
to the jury some time late this after
noon. The case is attracting lot of
attention at Waukegan and Liberty
vile and crowded court room greet
ed the witnesses in the case on Tues
day afternoon and this morning.
The girl was the first witness called
by the state in the case. She declared
that she had gone out to take q lesson
in driving an automobile and that af-
ter they had gone some distance into
the country outside of Libertyville,
Williams stopped the car by pulling out
the switch and that she was asked to
step out of the machine. She testified
that after Williams had made an effort
to start the automobile he came around
to the side Of the car on which she was
standing and made the attack on her.
She declared that she had said nothing
to her folks about it until several
months afterward because she feared
that Williams would carry out the
threat he had made to her at the time
of the attack. She declared he told
her that if she said anything about the
matter to her father that he would
kill her. This she said was her reason
for not telling her parents of the affair.
Williams declares that there is abb
solutely no foundation for the story of
the girl He asserts that on the morn
ing Of October 18th, the date set as
the time the assault occurred, he was
not in Libertyville or anywhere in that
section. He will seek to prove an alibi
as his defense in the case.
Kenosha people have watched the
case with a great deal Of interest on
account Of the prominence Of the de-
PENDANT among the people Of this city.

utilized for br nging into Kenosha a
large amount of the food supply and
Postmaster Baker is even expecting to
see whole sides of beef and fatted

With the announcement of the

SUGGESTION 'INOPPORTUNE'
All Save One Declare That They Would
Exhibit For Civic Loyalty But All
Believe Expense Attendant Upon the
Exhibit Is Unwarranted.

The Made in Kenosha' exposition
which budded SO prominently ten daYs
ago is off and the men who had sought
to promote q big exhibit of Kenosha
made products at the new building of
the Thomas B. Jeffery Company have
abandoned the proposition. There will
be no Made in KenoSha exhibition
this year as the manufacturers Of the
city have sent letters to the committee
in charge in which they declare that
the time is not opportune for such an
exhibit. The manufacturers with a
single exception have shown their 10y
atty to anything which would advance
Kenosha by declaring that if such a
show was held they would exhibit but
without exception they declare them
selves to be opposed to the plan at this
time. The Jeffery Company has moth
fed the committee in charge of the
preliminaries that it regrets that it
would be impossible to permit the use
of the new building for such a show
as just as rapidly as the portions of
the building are completed they are
being used for manufacturing purposes.
The letters from the manufacturers are
interesting in that they show the INDUS
trial conditions in the city at the pres
ent time. These letters assert that there
is no warrant for All exhibit Of Keno
sha made products and that the ex-
pense of such an exhibit would be a
real burden ON the manufacturers at
this time They hold that the business
of the city at the present time is slack
and that nothing would be gained by
holding such a show It was expected
that the manufacturers would show
favor to the movement and many Of
them did when it was first proposed,
but after more careful study of the
plan they reached the agreement that
there was no warrant for suchea show
save a possible chance to give the peo-
pie of the city a chance to get better
acquainted with Kenosha made pro-
ducts 1t was held by the manufact-
urers that such an exhibit would not
result in buyers being brought in from
other states and cities as many of the
companies maintain great warehouses in
all the leading cities and through these
big agencies NEST Of the selling is
carried on.
Nearly all of the manufacturers de-
clared that the expense of the proposed
exhibit was wholly unwarranted at a
time when the operation of the plants
was being carried on with conditions
which were far from satisfactory.
Mayor Head and other promoters Of
the plan on the receipt of the letters
this morning formally declared all
movements to stage the exhibit off and
if Kenosha is to have "made in Ke-
noshao exposition in future years it
must be staged with the initiative com
ing from the manufacturers.

BIG GAS MAIN BREAKS.
Workmen Find 4-Inch Main on Chica-
go st. Broken and Rip Up Pavement.

The new pavement on Chicago steet
just west of the city hall was ripped
up on Tuesday afternoon on account Of
many complaints that have been made
against the odor Of gas in the neighbor-
hood. The workmen found that one Of
the big four inch mains of the Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric Company had been
broken off and the gas was escaping
from it in large quantities. 1t is thought
that the break in the gas main resulted
from the use of the heavy roller in the
paving of the street. The break in the
main has been repaired but it will prob
ably be spring before the hole in the
pavement may be closed up.

part in the solemn ceremonies.
The church is pretty structure,
Gothic in its style, simply and daintily
decorated, inviting sinner and saint to
pray and worship within its walls. Too
much credit cannot be given to the pas
tor for his untiring zeal and labor, and
the archbishop in his mastery sermon
made honorable mention of it. AT the
same time he gave public thanks to all
benefaetors of the parish regardless of
creed 1t may be added with just pride
that the church complete ia all details

For few hours Sunday the scenes
at the county Jail reminded one Of the
times when the tramp nuisance made
the men fortunate enough to get elected
sheriff financially Independent for life.
The tramp room was crowded with the
wanderers from the camps south and
west of the city, driven to seek shelter
from the bitter weather, but the hobos
are no longer encouraged to linger in
Kenosha and the game of passing the
buck, so to speak, to the next city,
started bright and early Monday morn
ing. The system of keeping the tramps
moving from city to city has little to
recommend it to the authorities, but
they are helpless to stop it so long as
that method of dealing with the tramp
nuisance is practiced in all cities in
this section. Kenosha certainly does
not care to be loaded up with this hui
man refuse by starting any system of
imposing fines for vagrancy unless some
way can be figured out to make the
wOrkhouse self supporting.

COLISEUM FOR BOYsATHLET|CS
A. G. Children and Frank L. Wells Are
Named by Board as Members of the
Board of Industrial Education Par
ents Want Artesian Water in School.

Initial steps to secure the building OF
new high school building for Keno
sha along the lines outlined at the re-
cent joint meeting of the common coun-
Gil and the board Of education were
taken Tuesday night and special
committee Of members Of the board
was named to have charge Of the
preliminary work The members Of the
committee are S. G. Newman, William

sites for such building and make a
report to the board later in the win
ter. 1t will also take charge of the
work Of having the proposition Of is
suing bonds for the new school present
ed to the voters at the coming city cleo
ton in April Of next year. The plan
of building the new school seems to
meet with the most cordial support of
all the members Of the board Of educa-
ton. The committee has no site
for the building in view at the pres
ent time, but all of the sites that
have been suggested will be investi-
gated and it is thought that from the
list named at the various meetings of
the school board that one may be Sc
lected which can be secured at a
reasonable rate.

the city came into the fight for better

ed asking that the artesian water be
piped into the Central school building
and be used in the bubbling fountains
in this building This matter will be
taken up by the board later.
The old question of securing some
provision for athletic events among
the students Of the high school was
finally settled, the board voting to rent
the Coliseum for afternoons during the
remainder of the school year at a
monthly rental of fifteen dollars. This
will be used for all the athletic work
Of the high school students. The Sc
curing Of this building will make pos
sible the organization of an athletic
team and basket ball teams and the
Kenosha players will begin at once to
schedule games for the winter months.
A. G. Children, who has represented
the employed men Of the city on the
industrial school board since the for

Buffalo House Takes the Taste Out
