Petitions TO be Sent to Town Board De-
handing License Election this Year

The saloons of the town of Salem and
there are nearly a half dozen of them
are to be in jeopardy at the coming
town election as the people who are OPP
posed to the saloons have notified Chair
man Hartnell that petition will be
fled demanding license election this
year. The petition will of course af-
feet all the saloons in the town. This
includes saloons in Salem, Trevor,
Camp Lake, and Silver Lake. Most of
the saloons are connected with summer
resort hotels in the town. For some
time the foes Of the saloons in this
town have been planning for fight
against the saloon element and it is ex-
pected that the battle to prevent the
licensing of the saloons in the future
will be vigorous one. The question Of
license will make Salem the most inter-
esting fighting ground in the coming
spring elections.

Kenosha knights of Columbus Guests
of Milwaukee Members on Monday.

Forty members of the Kenosha
Council of the Knights of Columbus
went to Milwaukee on -donday evening
for the annual bowling match with the
bowlers of the Milwaukee Council. A

rolled against similar number from
Milwaukee and when the pins quit
dropping the Kenosha bowlers were
some four hundred points behind
After the bowling match a banquet
was served at the Hotel Maryland at
which covers were laid for more than
a hundred members of the order. There
were toasts by both Kenosha and Mil
waukee members of the order and the
banquet proved to be most enjoyable
affair. On Thursday night the Milwau-
kee members of the order will come to
Kenosha and the local members are
planning on getting their revenge at

QUITS SCHOOL WORK
Hiss Lois Northway Gives Up Work at
Kenosha Business College.

Announcement was made today that
Miss Lois Northway, for the past five
years manager and leading spirit in
the Kenosha Business College, had re
signed her position, the resignation to
become effective on the first day of
April. Miss Northway plans to go out
Of school work and is said to have ac-
cepted an office position at the time
set for her resignation. G. F. Moore
of Racine, owner of the Kenosha Bust
ness College, has as yet made no an
nouncement as to the new manager.
In the FIVE years that Miss North
way has been at the head of the Main
street school it has made rapid strides.
The number of students has increas-
ed many times and the work has been
advanced to high standard.
Miss Northway was for a number Of
years connected with the teaching
force of the Kenosha schools and she
brought to her aid in the business col
lege the experience gained in this
work. The school at the present time
has more than seventy students and it
has a long list of graduates.
President Moore is also in charge of
business college in Racine and it is
probable that with the retirement of
Miss Northway he will divide his time
between the two institutions.

Sentenced to Five Years
ATTORNEYsSEEESTAY OF COURT


George Koscak, convicted some time
ago on charges Of transporting dyna-
miae to Kenosha to be used for Blowing
up the home of j. w. DeCou, was sen
fenced to term Of FIVE years in the
state prison at Waupun By Judge F. B.
Belden in the circuit court just before
noon today, The sentence followed a
formal ruling Of the court in which he
denied motions of the defendant S at
tOrney in arrest of judgment and for
a new trial. Norman H. Baker, attor-
ney for Koscak, made long address to
the court in which he reviewed many
contentious raised by the defense in
the case and in which he urged the
court to release Koscak with a fine.
This suggestion was opposed by the
district attorney, who declared that the
offense was so serious that it would be
a mockery to release the defendant
with a fine. The court declined to
grant motion made by Mr.. Baker in
which a stay of execution was sought
and he directed that Koscak be taken
to prison on next Monday unless the
supreme court should grant 2 stay of
execution by that time. In denying the
motions of the defense the court hand
ed down notable opinion.

Srarta Debat Is u feat Ed.
gerton in Final Contest
on Saturday Night.
WIN TWO TO ONE DECISION

The Kenosha high school debaters
finished in second place in the Law
renee College Debating League as this
morning the teachers at the school re-
ceived notice that at the debate at
Edgerton on last Saturday night the
debaters from Sparta won two to
one victory over Edgerton. This makes
the score for the last round in the de-
bates Sparta 5, Kenosha 8, Edgerton
l, and it gives Sparta clear claim to
the championship of the league. Ke
nosha is awarded second place, and Ed
gerton third place. While the debat-
ers Of the Kenosha high school had
been hopeful of landing the first hon
ors of the league the outcome of the
debates has been decidedly gratifying
to the faculty and students of the Ke-
posha high school. This is the best
standing that Kenosha has ever secur-
ed in the joint debate. The local team
is recognized as the strongest ever Sc
lected to represent the school. Already
the debaters are starting work to
make the team next year and it is ex-
pected that in 1915 Kenosha will pre-
sent trophy winning team.

'.PEG o. MY HEART" CHARMING.
Pleasing Comedy Ably Presented at
the Rhode Tuesday Evening.

Thoroughly charming you are, Peg
o. My Heart, and your whole hearted
ways, your ready wit, your pleasing
Irish accent, your delightful youth cap
tivated those who heard you and saw
you at the Rhode Opera House Tues
day evening.
Pretty, love compelling, natural is
the role Of Peg as it was played by
Florence Martin. From the moment
she appeared on the stage as the awk-
ward young Irish girl, her dog Michael
under one arm and Juggling her old
fashioned valise with the other. every
person in the audience was her SYM
pathetic friend.
The plot OF the piece is simple, but
il is all that is necessary to draw the
delightful character Of Peg. She is
the daughter of loyable but i'm
provident father and an aristocratie
mother whose relatives turned their
back upon her when she set out for
America with her husband. Peg is
reared by her father in poverty after
her mothers death. Then comes the
offer of penitent uncle, who would
give Peg a chance, and the girl sets
out for England. The uncle dies be-
fore she arrives and she is amply pro-
vided for by his will. She is to be car
ed for in her aunt's family, snobbish,
aristocratic, but lately reduced to fin
ancial straits as the result of bank
failure, 1t is the latter adversely
which compeIs them to accept Peg as
charge, for they love luxury and they
need the money.
1t may be sure that little Peg has
plenty of fun at the expense Of her
dignified aunt, of her calm and dis
dainful cousin Ethel, at the expense of
the conceited and useless Alaric. She
has her difficult times, and she yearns
for her father love, for genuine hui
man comradeship, for some kindred
spirit which is sadly lacking in that
cold blooded household. Snubbed and
mistreated she determines to leave at
the end of month and return to her
father who loves her. Such move is
well nigh calamity to her aristo-
cratic cousins who would be left with
out means to supply their daily bread
if she left, but when their lost fortune
is rejuvenated they are quite ready
to say goodbye.
Peg has made one conquest, how
ever, in Jerry, executor Of her uncle s
will. Their friendship and mutual
admiration ripen into love and Peg
is Happy.
23deA Jould be said ef J. Hartley
Manners comedy, and much could be
said Of the exceptional cast which Oil
Yer Morosco has provided. Isabel Yer
non made a naughty and effective
Mrs. Chichester; Maude Allen carried
out the part Of the snobbish cousin;
Colin Campbell had true apprecia-
ton Of the role of Alaric; Fred Tiden
read the part of Jerry in capable
style; and other characters were ad-
mirably fitted for their roles.

M. Farr will fight it out for the Office
Of mayor at the election to be held on
April 9TH as, in a primary election

The victory of former Mayor
Scholey was an easy one, he having a
big lead over the other three candi-
dates, but Dr. Farr had narrow mar
gin of but six on the first choice votes
over former Mayor German. The big
fall down in the German vote was one
of the unexpected developments of the
election.
German did not carry a plurality
vote in a single ward Of the city, All
the wards in the city with the exeep-
tion of the second, gave Scholey an
advantage and the north wards were
strong Cor the former assemblyman.
The total vote for Joseph Orth, the
social democratic candidate in the race,
was 2S5, this being a material falling

other years.
