WANTS EARNINGS FOR WIFE.
Charles Frank, Who Served Time at
Hard Labor Filed Petition in Court.


Charles Frank, a Kenosha Italian,
who has served time at hard labor in
the county Jail, has filed petition in
the municipal court asking that the
money which he earned while employed
under sentence of the municipal court
be turned over to his wife who is now
in Italy. Frank, through his attorney,
R. V. Baker, declares that previous to
his being sentenced to hard labor he
had been supporting his wife by fire.
quent postal orders sent to Italy.
Frank was arrested on charge of car
rying concealed weapons and was SEN
fenced for three months. At the time
no notice was served on the court that
he had any one dependent on him and
he was treated as single man and
some time ago his earnings had been
turned over to the county treasurer.
In support of his petition Frank
brought to the court many receipts
showing that he had at frequent inter
walls sent large sums to his wife in
Italy. He declares that during the
time he was working under county
rule he was forced to borrow money in
order to provide support for his wife.

the nomination Of Speaker Merlin Hull
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor, should he be a candidate, be-
cause the university people deem Mr..
Hull to be unfriendly to their interests.
AS matter of fact, the opposition of
the university faculty may not be an
injury in the next few campaigns in
Wisconsin, SO great is the feeling in
opposition to the university. The talk
in Northern Wisconsin in favor Of Mr..
Hull is a strong Illustration of this
fact.
Mr.. Hull will also probably call at
tention to the university question dur
ing the next few months on the stump,
as it is understood he will make a
number of speeches around the state
during the winter whether he is can
didate for governor or not. The text
of the talk of Mr.. Hull will be that
the university appropriations should be
lessenel ard more money given the
state in aid of the common schools.
There is also said to be a strong
demand for Mr.. Hull s proposed ad-
dresses.

MANY GET LICENSES.
Chief Game Warden Scholts Looks for
$4,000 Applications

That the number of resident game IL
.censes issued in 1913 will exceed the
number issued in 1912 by $4,000 is the
opinion of Chief Game Warden Scholts,
who said that already many counties
have exceeded last year s records and
have found it necessary to ask for
more blank forms. Last year the total
number of resident licenses issued was
100000 at ST. each.
The record also shows that for the
present year the number of licenses
granted to non-residents for deer and
small game exceeds the record of last
year at the present time, although the
rush season for deer hunting licenses
has not yet arrived The number of
deer licenses granted up to date is 153.
To nonresident hunters of small game
there has already been issued for the
present season 638 licenses as against
596 ON the same date year ago.

MCDOWELL SEEKS PAROLE.
Negro Convicted of Keeping Joy
House. Seeks Release from Prison.

Bynum Mcdowell, former Kenosha
negro, who was sent to the state prison
at Waupun following his conviction on
statutory charges in connection with a
nat which he maintained on the west
side Of the city, has applied to the
state board of control for a parole.
Mcdowell was convicted on March g.,
1917 and sentenced to term of three
years. At the same time two women,
who had been connected with the place,
were also sentenced to prison. One of
the women, who is said to have been a
member of a well known Racine family,
was recently released on parole. The
local officials are not inclined to give
any support to the application Of
Mcdowell and they believe that he
should serve his full term in prison.
The application of Mcdowell for parole
will be heard at the next meeting Of
the board Of control.

Police Report that Obsery-
ance of the Night was the
Quietest in Many Years.
WITCHES AND COLLINS PARADE

Kenosha had an entirely safe and
sane Halloween celebration on Friday
evening. The observance of the
annual holiday of spirits and spooks
passed off in Kenosna without the
police being called on to make a
single arrest and the only reports on
the police blotter of the night were
complaints of noisy boys and girls.
The police officers We're kept on the
jump during the evening, but in most
cases the calls We're to suppress merry
bands of boy and girl brigands who
limited their celebrations to disturb
ing the sleep of those who had retired
early for the night. Not single re-
port of serious damage from Hallowe EN-
festivities was made to the police dur
ing the night. The night proved a
jolly one for the boys and girls and in
all parts Of the city there were parades
Of COLLINS and witches and parties in
keeping with the spirit of the fall
festival were held in all parts Of the
city. Dances were held in nearly every
hall in the city but the merry celebra-
tors seemed to be content with enjoy
ing these parties and when they left
for their home they failed to show the
usual disregard of property rights.
Even the old time wooden sidewalks
were not disturbed this year. It was
the quietest Hallowe EN- night seen in
Kenosha in years and the quiet that
reigned came as an agreeable surprise
to the members Of the police depart
ment. The arrest of five boys on
door bello night probably had a sa-
lutary effect on the crowd on Fri
day evening. The boys arrested were
let off with a good lecture after they
had agreed to go out and wash off the
soap with which they had decorated
windows or the north side of the city.

After the raking over the industrial
commission received from the supreme
court in a recent decision, claims for
medical or surgical services are likely
to receive more careful scrutiny from
the commission before being passed
than has been given them hitherto in
all cases. And if the commission fol-
lows the rule laid down in the opinion
handed down by the court in the Mil
Waukee case "not to. allow claim
Which appears manifestly exorbitant
merely because verified by the person
to be benefited by its allowance" it
cannot go far wrong and the time of
the courts will not be taken up with
appeals from its decisions.

ipal court this morning and entered a

plea Judge Randall sentenced Kruger
to pay a fine Of $40 and the costs of
the action. The fine and costs were
paid. Before the fine was assessed
Judge Randall had made careful ex-
anlintion of all the witnesses in the
case. Under the law the fine on the
charge is from $25 to $50.

INITIATE LARGE CLASS THERE
District Deputy Walter M. Burke and
$50 Members of the Local Council go
to Lake Geneva on Sunday by Special
Train-Are Royalty Entertained

Members of the Kenosha council of
the Knights of Columbus invaded Lake
Geneva in force on Sunday when three
coach loads of the members. of the local
council went to the little city on the
banks of the lake to confer the third
degree on large class Of candidates.
1t was the most notable pilgrimage
ever made by the members OF the Ke-
nosha council The special train left
Kenosha just after ten O. CLOCK and the
members of the local council, one humid
red and sixty strong, were Joined by
large delegations from the councils in
Racine and Milwaukee.
The visitors reached Lake Geneva
just before noon and the ritualistic
work of the order was started after an
informal dinner. The class of more
than fifty members were given the
three degrees of the order. More than
three hundred members of the order at
tended the ceremony. The first two de-
grees were conferred by the team Of
the Lake Geneva lodge and the third
degree was given by the Kenosha team
under the leadership of District Depu-
ty Walter NJ Burke. The work was
put on in very impressive manner
After the ritualitis work had been
concluded the large company of
Knights retired to Gardener S hall
where banquet was served. Covers
were laid for more than four hundred
people the banquet being the most nota-
bic thing of the kind ever given in
Lake Geneva. Among the guests at
the banquet were many of the promi-
nent men Of the order from all over
the state and small delegations came
from the several of the Illinois Cities
DR.. Host Of the Lake Geneva council,
acted as toastmaster and responses
were made by Walter NJ. Burke and
John H. Brine of Kenosha; Thomas
Tagin of Racine; A. L. Brown Of Mil
waukee,and by number of the mem
bers of the Lake Geneva council. A
pleasing feature of the banquet was
the readings given by Mrs. Host.
The special train bearing the visiting
Knights reached Kenosha on the return
trip just before eleven clock Sunday
evening. The members of the Kenosha
party are high in their praises of the
splendid hospitality shown to them at
Lake Geneva. 1t is probable that in
the near future the members of the
Lake Geneva council of the order will
be invited to come to Kenosha to at
tend class initiation. The Lake Ge-
neya council while one of the younger
councils, is growing very rapidly and
tive councils in the state.

The older men among the member
ship of the Independent Order Of For
esters in Kenosha are setting an ex
ample that may we'll be followed by
their brothers in other camps of the
order and by members similarly placed
in other fraternal organizations now
undergoing the throes of a readjust-
ment of rates. They have decided to
pay the assessment or lien, as it is
called in this case, necessary to put
their organization on a sound financial
basis and to continue their membership
in the order, paying the increased rate
of assessment decided to be necessary
on their policies, on the broad ground
that the society, having furnished them
with insurance for nearly twenty
years at rate that is now demonstrate
ed to have been too low for safety
is entitled to their moral and financial
support in its efforts to put its affairs
in order and get on such basis as
will remove absolutely any danger of
default in payments in the future. AS
they look at it they are simply paying
in now in lump sum what should have
been collected from them in larger in
stallments during the past twenty
years. In common with every other
fraternal organization whose original
rates were not based on accepted NOR
tality tables, the Independent Order of
Foresters has found that there must be
a readjustment of assessment rates to
insure the stability Of the organization
but its membership appears to be bow
ing to the inevitable with better
grace than the membership of some of
the other orders which have had to go
or are attempting to go through the
same process. These rate adjustments
in the fraternal organizations are like
major surgical operations, in that the
only justification for them is that
nothing else can save the life of the
patient.

State Board of Control will
Stop Work on Proposed
Institutions Now.
NO MONEY TO MEET The COST

The state board Of control will do no
work this winter which will require
state appropriations and will not
attempt any work on state contracts be-
fore next spring, when money will be
available for the buildings which it is
considered necessary to build.
Although the members of the board
ale not making this announcement pub
liely, they have notified Governor Nc
Govern that that will be the policy of
the board and the board will gladly do
this much in aid of conserving the
state finances so that the treasury shall
at no time be short of money.
The board will lay some foundations
for buildings this fall, but the work
will be largely work which can be
done by inmates of institutions at
which the buildings are built and the
stone for which is already owned by
the state or can be obtained with little
expense.
The state officials would receive
with great deal of satisfaction an
announcement from the state board of
regents that they would postpone any
building for the university during the
next two years. 1t is claimed by state
officials who have been making care
full study of the finances of the state
that there are no buildings absolutely
needed by the university during the
next biennial period and that further
improvements along the building line
can be postponed by the university for
the coming biennial period without ma
terial injury to the institution. Wheth-
.er the university regents will be will
ing to forego the use of the appropria-
tions which have been granted them by
the state cannot however, be said.
If the regents should do this, how
ever, it would do great deal to allay
the growing feeling in this state
against the university and to prevent
it becoming political issue in the
state on the ground of its extravaganza,
which is more than likely to occur if
the university authorities insist on US
Ing all the money which has been al
lowed them for the next biennial per-
iod by the legislature.
The state board of control will next
build the woman s reformatory at
Fond du Lac and the new state home
for the feeble minded, as it is felt there
is an absolute need of these buildings
at the present time. The board will,
however, restrict its building during
the next two years to work which is
absolutely necessary for the care Of
unfortunates and work which conditions
demand should not be postponed.
