FORM STATE BODY.
Members of Phi Kappa Psi College Fra
ternity Organize Alumni Assn.

A large party of Kenosha college
alumni went to Milwaukee on Saturday
evening to attend a meeting and ban
quet held at the University Club at
which time a state alumni association
of the Phi Kappa Psi college fraternity
was formed. Twenty members of the
organization from various parts of the
state were selected as charter mem
bers. Herman w. Buemming of Mil
Waukee, was elected president of the
new chapter, Chester D. Barnes of Ke-
nosha, vice president, and Arthur Col
Inns of Beloit, secretary and treasurer.
Plans were laid for a second meeting
of the chapter to be held in about two
months. The state chapter will make
an effort to send large delegation of
the Grand Arch Council of the frater-
nifty which will be held in Cleveland in
June. Fourteen Kenosha members of
the fraternity have been enlisted as
members of the new chapter.

City Officials to Seek Right
of Way For Intercepting
Sewer Immediately.
MAY Be FORCED TO CONDEMN

The officials of the city have begun
to seek easements for the proposed in
excepting sewer to be built along the
shores of the Kenosha river and it is
the plan of the officials, if possible, to
secure the easements for the sewer be-
fore next Monday evening SO that the
council may take final action in the
matter at that time. Some Of the prop
erty owners have given the officials of
the city the assurance that they will
not demand any payment for the ease
ments for the sewer, but it is possible
that the city will be forced to pay
small sums for a portion Of the right
of way. IF possible all differences
with property owners will be settled
out Of court, but the city attorney has
been instructed to look up the law and
be in readiness to condemn land for
the right of way if such course is
necessary. If the city is forced to
start condemnation suits it is possible
that the work Of building the sewer
may be delayed for few months, but
the officials feel certain that even with
such suits the work can be started
early in the summer and completed
during the present year. The commit
tee on sewers and the street assess
ment committee of the council have
been making a close inspection Of the
plans for the sewer as proposed by
City Engineer Brennan and it is GER
tain that they will give their approval
of these plans at the next meeting of
the council. The council is expected
to direct the committee to advertise for
bids at that time.

ADMITTED TO PRACTICE LAW.
Lewis w. Powell, Son of Elk Chairman
Powell, Passes Examination.

Lewis w. Powell was one of the suc7
cessful applicants for admission to the
Wisconsin bar at the recent examina-
tion held at Milwaukee. Mr.. Powell is
well known to many Kenosha citizens,
being born and raised in this vicinity.
He taught school in the locality of
Pleasant Prairie after completing his
course in the public schools here. Lat
|er he attended the normal school at
Whitewater and was graduated from
that institution in 1909. Since that
time he has beer connected with the
German English Academy of Milwau
kee, being at the head Of the depart
ment of mathematics. In 1911, he en-
tered the evening classes in law at
Marquette University and at the same
time continued his work as instructor
in the German English Academy. His
success in the recent examination
shows that he is an energetic and con-
scientious worker; and that he has a
keen appreciation Of the principles of
legal Jurisprudence. Mr.. Powell s
plans for the future have not been an
nouneed. The young attorney is wish
ed every possible success in his new
field of endeavor

HOLD VERDICT WAS UNJUST
Judge Belden Signs Order Directing
that Part of Expense in Trial be Paid
by County, This to Include Interpret
er Fees and Witness Expense.

The formal motion for a new trial
in the Koscak case was fled with the
clerk of the circuit court on Monday
afternoon and with it the formal mo-
ton in arrest Of Judgment. The mo-
ton for a new trial gave thirteen
reasons for the demanding of the new
trial. 1t holds that the information
which was filed against Koscak failed
to state any offense and that the
charging of two separate offenses in
one information would not sustain
general verdict of equity" 1t
charges that the court permitted an
amendment to the information after
the state had rested its case in which
a distinct and different charge was
made than from the original charge.
1t declares that the accused was de.
MED the right to know the nature of
the information against him. That
the information was not in writing as
required by law, that the information
wholly failed to charge the offense sub
mitted to the jury and on which the
jury found the defendant guilty that
the court erred in over-ruling the mo-
tion of the defendant in arrest of
Judgment, that the court erred in in
structing the jury and in refusing to
submit instructions proposed by the
attorneys for the defendant, that the
court erred in receiving Incompetent
irrelavent and immaterial evidence
prejudicial to the defendant, that the
court erred in rejecting evidence sub
mitted by the defense, that the court
erred in Overriding the motion of the
defendant IS attorney in which it was
asked that verdict be directed for
the release of Koscak, that the evil
dence fails to prove the commission of
any offense by the defendant, that The
district attorney INDUCED and was per.
mitted to indulge in improper and pre-
judicial statements in his argument to
the jury and lastly that justice has
not been done''
In addition to the fling of the form
al motion for a new trial the attorney
for the defendant secured from the
court an order for the payment of a
part of the expenses in the case from
the standpoint of the defendant. This
bill amounted to 1929 and included
actual disbursements of the attorneys
for the defense in taking the testi-
meny of Count Brunswick as ordered
by the court, for expenses of Autumn
Brunswick from Charlottesville, Ind,
to Kenosha, and for the expenses of
an interpreter. The court held that
these expenses should be borne by the
county notwithstanding the fact that
the money had been expended by the
attorneys of the defendant.

MOON IN ECLIPSE TOMORROW.
Almost Total Observation Figured Out
by Chicago Astronomer.

Tomorrow evening Kenosha may see
an almost total eclipse of the moon.
Frederick G. Leonard, an astronomer
of Chicago, has figured out the exact
time at which the eclipse begins and
ends. At SAP p. m. the moon first en-
tiers the shadow of the earth. At 1913
p. M, the middle of the eclipse, all but
eight per cent Of the diameter of the
moon will be in the shadow and al

ARREST BOY ON PAROLE.
Boy Charged With Stealing Brass May
be Sent Back to Reform School.

Chief O'Hare ON Monday afternoon
arrested James Blum, nineteen year
old boy and he is being held at the
county Jail pending the investigation
of his actions in offering to sell sixty
five pounds of brass to the Northwest
ern Iron and Metal Company Blum
took the metal to the office of the COM
pany on Monday and j. D. Rosenthal
refused to purchase it, but told the boy
to bring him note showing that he
had a right to sell it. When he re-
turned with note signed by ",Mrs
Petersen" he was arrested by the
chief. Young Blum has been in trou-
BILE before and he had been an inmate
of the reform school at Wausau until
he was parolled short time ago. It
is probable that he will be sent back
to the institution.

Baton Rouge.-There won be any
more Mardi Gras parades in Baton
Rouge among the negro population.
A lot of good people in this city
didn't like the last one, received no in

outraged at the whole performance.
Among those people was Alex Grouchy

what he thinks about it:

bration for the last few years has fail

he and his followers gone to great ex-

Of Baton Rouge an amusing, artistic
and attractive parade?
Toots, rugged out as a Fiji Island
chief, led the last parade of several
floats through the principal streets of
the city. He was followed by several
hundred noisy maskers. The Gamma
balistic costume of the king, with nose
rings, bells on his toes, a cleaning
spear and tropical garb, was a little
too realistic to some of the spectators.
