Friday evening and curious crowd

Kenosha notables and near notables are
shown so that the film is of great in

Kenosha Lodge of Elks Are
Ranked High Among the
Lodges in Wiscc sin.
RANDALL OFF TO GRAND LODGE

Judge c. E. Randall and his father
John Randall leave this evening for
Denver, Colo, to attend the annual re-
union of the Grand Lodge of the Bene-
VIOLENT and Protective Order of Elks.
Judge Randall is the delegate of Ke-
nosha Lodge to the Grand Lodge ses-
sions. 1t is not expected that any
other members of the local lodge will
be present at the semi-centennial meet
at Denver This is the first since the
organization of the Kenosha lodge that
a large delegation from this city has
not attended the annual reunion.
Many of the Kenosha Elks attended the
reunion held in Denver only a few
years ago and for this reason they did
not attend this year The meeting will
be a most important one to the mem
bers Of the order and many important
matters of national policy will be taken
up. Most important will be tie final
decision of the national body in regard
to the Elks National Home. It is ex-
pected that this session of the Grand
Lodge will make provision for carry
ing out plans for the immediate build
ing of the proposed home.
The meeting of the Grand Lodge
marks the close of the year for all the
lodges and the report of Kenosha lodge
for the year is the best ever submitted
by this lodge to the Grand Lodge. 1t
is expected that Kenosha will stand
first in Wisconsin for proportionate
growth. During the year just closed
more than fifty new members have been
added to Kenosha lodge. Not only has
the membership been increased, but
there has been an excellent spirit
among the members of the lodge The
lodge hiss taken over the property of
the Elks Association and the assets
of the lodge will show a big jump in
value over former years.
Kenosha has been recognized by the
Grand Lodge and in the annual report
of the District Deputy Grand Exalted
Ruler especial notice has been made of
the ritualistic work done by the officers
of the local lodge.
The Wisconsin delegation to the SEES
sion of the Grand Lodge this year will
not be as large as in former years.
Milwaukee is sending a delegation of
ten and half as many will go from Ra-
cine, while other lodges will be limited
to delegates and a few visitors. The
trip is to be made on a SPECIAL car
which will leave Milwaukee this even
ing. Prominent in the party will be

Merton E. Smith, for many months
an employee of the Office of the Chicago
Kenosha Hosiery Company in the ca
pacity of a confidential clerk and
bookkeeper, pleaded guilty to charges
of grand larceny in the municipal court
just before noon today and sentenced
was deferred pending the arrival of the
father of the young man. The arrest
Of Smith has caused something of a
sensation among the employees of the
hosiery company as he had been regard
ed as one of the most trustworthy en-
ployees of the company. Smith is
charged in the warrant with stealing
funds of the company to the amount of
1925, but it is admitted that it is pos
sible that he got away with even a
larger sum. Smith in his statement to
the court admits that he had stolen
from the safe of the company box in
which uncalled for pay envelopes had
been left. There is no way that the
company can check up the amount of
money that had been left in these en-
velopes as some of them had been held
for many months for Workmen who had
either been sick or who had left the
city. Smith declares that to the best
of his belief the amount NAMED in the
warrant fully covered all he had Sc
cured from the company. Smith was
first suspected ten days ago when
small amount of money was taken from
%1a cash drawer of the city salesman
of the company, but nothing could be
found to connect him with the rob
berry. Deputy Sheriff Herbert G. Milla-
ger was put to work on the case and
when he discovered that Smith had
made expenditures far beyond his sal
airy he arrested him and placed him in
Jail. Shortly after his arrest Smith
made a full statement, admitting his
guilt.
Officials Of the company conferred
with Judge Randall and the district at
torney in regard to the case this morn
ing but they offered no suggestions as
to what should be done with the accus-
ed clerk. Smith came to Kenosha from
a small town in Colorado and it is said
that his family is prominent in that
state. Since he has been in Kenosha
Smith has been member of several
organizations and has been active in
the work of these organizations.

JUDGE KAREL TELLS PLANS.
Gubernatorial Candidate Makes Public
Democratic Principles.

Judge John G. Karel makes public
the declaration Of principles submitted
by him to committee appointed at a
meeting Of Wisconsin democrats at Mil
waukee, May %. The committee unan-
imously approved the principles which
are to be the foundation on which his
expected platform will be constructed
later. Judge Karel says in substance:
II insist upon a radical reduction of
taxes, the abolition Of all unnecessary
boards and commissions and the remov-
al Of the state university from politics
/ insist that the normal schools and
other state educational institutions be
used to capacity before new ones are
established. I favor simplifying our
present state government and judicious
loans of state funds to pioneer farmers
to encourage agricultural development.
/ do not think the income tax will light
en- the burden Of the poor taxpayer,
but it should be collected since it is
law. All questions of local Importance
should be submitted to the people.
There is no good excuse for taxes hav-
ing leaped from 100000 to $18,00O,-
600 a year in ten years The present
administration is extravagant and
wasteful. There is no necessity for the
state engaging in life, fire or accident
insurance. To reduce the cost of school
government if elected governor I shall
appoint commission to recommend
means Of curtailing expenses. I en-
dorse without qualification the work of
President Wilson, the cabinet and
congress-

STOLE VORKMENs CHECK.
Peter Javoltos, VINO was Tried for Muir
der Here, Worked Under Name of
Morrow with Road Gang and Got a
Check Belonging to Companion.

Peter Javoltos, the Kenosha county
farm hand who stabbed Otto Langen-
bach to death in front Of the Jacob S
Hotel a year ago, is again sought by
the officers of the law and today detec-
tives from Racine were in Kenosha
seeking to get some trace of the blond
haired Polish boy who gained sympathy
enough from a Kenosha jury to
escape conviction on charges of muir
der Javoltos is wanted this time en-
charge of grand larceny In the past
few weeks Javoltos had been employed
with a gang of men at work under
the highway commissioner of Racine
county and seeking to hide his identity
he had registered with the commission
er under the name Of Henry Morrow
There was another man in the employ
of the county by the name of John
Morrow and when JavoItos went to
the paymaster for his money for few
days work the paymaster by mistake
gave him check made payable to John
Morrow. The check was for $3.50. 1t
is alleged by the Racine officials that
Javoltos cashed the check and en-
dorsed it in the name Of John Morrow
and then managed to get out of Ra-
Inc county.
Javoltos seems to have been going
wrong ever since the time he came with
Ben Bishop to Kenosha on the night
that Langenbach was killed. After his
acquittal on charges of murder in the
circuit court here he went to Southern
Illinois and he appeared to be deeply
penitent and determined to live an up
right life. He was next heard of in
Racine some four months ago when he
stabbed a man in drunken row in a
saloon at Lakeside. He was arrested
on a charge of assault with intent to
do great bodily HARM but when the
evidence in the case was heard BY
Judge Smieding he directed that the
charge be changed to one Of assault
and battery and on plea of guilty
to this charge Javoltos was sentenced to
term of three months in the county
jail of Racine county. He served the
sentence and was released only a few
days ago and went to work with the
highway gang. Javoltos has not been
seen in Kenosha since the day that he
was acquitted on the murder charge and
it is not expected that he will return
here. The boy was warned that friends
of the man he killed would see to it
that he kept long way from Kenosha.
The actions of Javoltos since he es-
capped conviction on charges Of murder
have been a great disappointment to
the court officials as at the time they
felt certain that the fact that the boy
had stood in the shadow of life prison
term would result in his reform.
The officers searching in Kenosha
found no trace of the man and it is
thought possible that with plentiful
supply Of money he has left this sec.
tion of the state and that possibly he
returned to Southern Illinois. Efforts
will be made to locate him in that sec
ton of the country.

Milwaukee is having a milk famine
because of the passage of an ordinance
barring milk from cows that have not
been tested for tuberculosis from the
city, but if the city authorities per
severe in enforcing the law, the stand
ard of the milk supply of Milwaukee
will be higher than that of any other
city in the country. And the shortage
the city is now suffering from will be
only temporary. The demand will
create the supply 1t is safe to say
that all of the dairymen who supply
that market with milk will have their
herds tested without delay and that
within few days or weeks the nor
NAL supply will be coming into the city.

That row between the governor and

particularly edifying spectacle and
somebody is likely to suffer in NYuta-
ton before it is over. Having in lpind
conditionssin Illinois we do not believe
the people Of this state will approve
OF mixing the banking business and

sioner erred as it is claimed ne did in
refusing bank charter he erred on
the right side.

The extraordinary efforts which are
being made to arouse interest through
out the state in the state fair are bear
ing fruit. Forty counties have already
announced their intention of sending
county exhibits and have made appro-
priations of from 500 to $1,000 each for
that purpose1 Kenosha county is in line
with an appropriation and if the farm
ers take hold of the matter as they are
expected to this county can send an
exhibit equal to any displayed from the
counties of the state. With the general
interest which is being shown it looks
as if it would be very much worth
while to have an exhibit at the fair that
