|. |. SUMMERS A SPEAKER
Noted Expert on Industrial Education
Makes an Address to Large Crowd
of Kenosha People at the High
School Building on Tuesday Evening.

| Tuesday evening was an interesting
| time for the continuation schools. Elk
hibits of the work of the evening
schools were shown in several rooms.
The work of the dressmaking classes
attracted much attention. Well made,
tastefully planned dresses, the work OF
1.-THE evening school women, under the
direction of Miss Petrie and Miss
Robertson, were displayed. The milli-
merry and basketry done by Miss Hood s
| classes, made very attractive exhibit.
In another room was long table
covered with written papers prepared
by the foreign speaking men and wom-
en- who have been studying English
during the past winter. These pupils
might well be proud of their achieve
ments, considering the short time many
of them have been in America. The
evening schools have afforded good
opportunity to the hundreds Of men
and women who have availed them
selves of it; and the exhibit gave evil
dence of what had been accomplished
in the way of English expression, 1t
was said by the instructors that every
man and woman was represented.
On the second floor there was fine
display of picture brought by +. l..
Summer, who gave a lecture on the
Continuation Schools Of Munich. This
lecture was illustrated with stereop-
ticon slides taken by Mr.. Summers,
who il the first American to ayhom She
| city Of Munich has ever accorded the
privilege of taking photographs Of its
school rooms, and of the products of
its trade schools.
These slides represented all the vari-
Gus trades and forms of industry which
are taught the boys of Munich. Boys
are not left there to take their chances
about finding an industry with which
to earn livelihood. At an early age,
their native bents are studied, and they
are directed into the school which is
best for them to attend, and there they
are trained to be skilled artisans.
Much Importance is attached to the
artistic quality in all this work. Views
we're shown of beautifully carved doors,
and the audience was told that these
were shop doors. Wood carving is one
form Of industry receiving much
emphasis.
Carefully trained teachers who are
master w0rkmen in the crafts they
teach are in charge of all these classes
Of boys. Teaching in Germany is not
as in America, make-shift profession,
but is adopted and remains the life
profession of men, not only in the sec
ondary schools, but in the elementary
schools as WELL
Mr. Summers sails for Germany on
March 31st, taking with him a com
pany of thirty men, who will spend
three months studying the schools of
Munich, and who will then return to
their respective towns, and continue
their work in the industrial schools
It is hoped that by continuing these
visitations through successive years,
there will be introduced into our
American trade and industrial schools.
some of the excellent qualities that
characterize the vocational schools in
Germany.

CANNOT RECEIVE ELK.
State Has no Money to Fence Game
Preserves for Animals.

On account of the increased expense
due to fencing the greater part of the
wooded section of Villas county and de-
spite the efforts. of the Washington
Park Geological society of Milwaukee,
the fifty elk offered by the department
of the interior as an addition to the
Wisconsin game preserves, will prob
ably not be received before 1915. A
cost OF over $4,000 necessary to the
building of heavily woven wire fence
around that section Of Villas county
used as a game preserve deters the
state from taking any action. The
Washington Park Geological society adj
vised Gov. McGovern that the society
would defray the expenses of transpor-
tation to any amount not exceeding
$500, inasmuch as the state treasury
Is said not to have money available for
the purpose. Provision is expected to
be made by the state legislature to take
advantage of the offer of the govern
ment.

SEEK WOMAN IN KENOSHA.
Mrs. John Heman Said to be Promin-
ent in Waukegan is Sought Here.

The police Of Kenosha this morning
received a telephone message from
the police at Waukegan asking that an
effort be made to find Mrs. John He
man, 35 years Of age and said to be a
prominent woman of Waukegan who
disappeared from her home on Tuesday
morning. The woman is said to be
suffering from a mental ailment and
she had been under surveillance. 1t is
said that she was seen at Zion City
late Tuesday afternoon and that at
that time she was making her way to-
ward Kenosha. Officers were sent out
to make search in the south, portions
Of the city but no trace of the woman
was found. Relatives Of Mrs. Heman
came here in automobiles this morning
to aid in the search.

WOULD PROTECT BOYS.
A. G.. Children of Industrial School is
Complainant in Pool Hall Case

A. G. Children one of the members
of the Industrial Board of Education
of the city appeared in the municipal
court on Tuesday afternoon and secur-
ed the arrest of j. G. DeArmond the
proprietor of pool room on the West
Side of the city. DeArmond, who was
arrested later in the afternoon was
charged with permitting a boy of ff-
teen years of age to play pool in his
place of business. Blake Children, the
son of the Industrial School Commiss-
Toner was named in the complaint De-
Almond entered plea of mot guilty"
and the hearing in the case was con-
tinued until Friday morning.
Many complaints have been made to
the police Of this sort of violations of
the law against pool rooms and many
arrests have been made but the assess
ment of fines does not seem to put an
end to the complaints. 1t is probable
that efforts will be made to close up
some of the pool rooms in order to stop
minors playing in them.

Council Urged to Pass Or
dinance to Close Walks to
the Roller Skaters.
NUISANCE IN SOME DISTRICTS

! Members Of the common council are
being bombarded to take some action
to put a limit on roller skating in Ke-
nosha. Nearly every boy and girl in
Kenosha now has pair Of roller
skates and the few warm days of last
week showed that the sidewalks of the
city are to be converted into one great
skating rink during the coming sum-
mer months unless some action is taken
to prevent this use of the walks. The
aldermen are being urged to pass an
ordinance which will restrict the use
of the roller skates to certain districts
of the city.
There is no desire to interfere with
the sport of the children, but the peo-
pie urging the enactment of an ordi-
nance believe that the children should
not be permitted to prevent the legiti-
mate use of the sidewalks. The sug-
gested ordinance would provide that
roller skating be prohibited on all side
walks in what is known as the down
town district. That the use Of the
walks in the parks be denied the skat-
ers and that they be prevented from
skating on railway station platforms.
A great deal of complaint has been
made against the use of the walks in
the parks for skating Kinks. This is
especially true of the west side park
and library park. The walks in these
two parks are simply thronged with
skaters every night that the weather is
fit and it is almost impossible for ped
estrians to use the walks on account
of the great number of skaters. The
] trouble is not so much with the child
rem of the city as with the older boys
and girls. The skating craze is spread
ing so fast in Kenosha that it seems
certain that it must be the subject of
council or police regulation during the
coming summer months Unless the
| children make a nuisance of them
selves no effort viii be made to inter
| fere with the use of the sidewalks
/ in. the residence districts bv the skaters
1t is just possible that the matter
can be taken care of with police or
der and the matter is now being con.
sidered by Police Chief O'Hare and
the members of the force Many com.
plants are coming to the police daily
on account Of the failure of skaters to
recognize the. rights of other people
and something must be done to correct
these abuses Of rights in the very near
future.

Notice of Appeal Is
Filed in the Beer Lease
Case in Circuit Court.
HOLD Big PRINCIPLE At STAKE

In the circuit court this morning
formal notice was fled Of the appeal
OF the suit of James w. Rose against
r. III. Gordon, the beer lease" in
junction suit which was recently tried
III the circuit court and in which Judge
Belden handed down decision up
holding the provisions Of the lease and
directing Gordon to pay damages to
Rose on account of the fact that he
had sold beer other than that provided
for in lease on the building in which
the Gordon saloon is located. The case
has attracted wide attention among re-
tail liquor dealers in Kenosha and
throughout the state. Judge Taylor
of the county court and Attorney Cal
vim Stewart are representing Gordon
in the appeal of the case to the higher
courts. The attorneys for Gordon have
filed long bill Of exceptions to the rul-
ing Of Judge Belden in the recent trial
of the case in the circuit court and
they are basing their appeal from the
decision largely on their claim that
when Rose made the lease with Cor
don he was the representative of an
out of state corporation. The attor-
neys for Rose have insisted that he
acted independently and not as the
agent for Chicago brewing company
of which he is the local representative.
Heavy damages have been assessed
against Gordon and in addition to this
he has been barred from selling any
beer in his saloon except that furnish
ed to him by the defendant Rose.

NONE OFFER PLATFORMS NOW
Candidates Seek to be Elected to Office
without Giving Public Any Idea Of
Their Stand on Big Problems of the
City in the Next Two Years.

People in Kenosha who are taking
an interest in the coming primary cleo
tion have waited patiently for the can
didates for office to make some state
ment as to their platform in seeking
the votes of the people and not one OF
the candidates for office has made
any declaration as to their platform or
as to their course in Office if elected.
1t is just possible that the candidate
for mayor, who would give the people
of the city a chance to know just what
his stand is on some public question,
would win lot of votes at the
primary. Thus far in the campaign
there has been no statement as to what
candidates for mayor stand for. OF
course there has been the usual plati-
tudes Of Economic Business Admin
istration" and ''Stand on Record - and
these may be valuable on account of
the fact that they look good on a pos
ter, but they do not touch any of the
vital issues before the people.
A leading man in the city, not a
seeker for Office, but interested in the
welfare of the city said this morning.
"Don't you think that it would be a
good thing for the men who are seeking
office to say something as to their
stand on the important questions Of
track elevation, water filtration and
the building of new school buildings
III The ty9 These Sgsstions axe go
ing to be mighty important in Keno
sha during the next two years and the
people would like to know how men
who are seeking the office of mayor
stand on these questions. Many peo-
pie in the city are interested in know
ING whether or not the progressive
movements of the last two years are
to be continued and it is up to men
seeking the votes of the people to say
something in regard to these big ques-
tions, The taxpayers are entitled to
know what consideration will be given
these problems. A lot of people in the
city are in favor Of these big progress
sive movements"
The candidates have not seen fit to
60 on record on anything up to the
present time and the personality of the
men seeking office has been the whole
thing in the campaign. OF course it is
little late in the day to get out real
platform, but a good statement from
the candidates would so a long way
toward clearing up the situation.
There is an alarming lack of interest
in the primary and unless something is
done to get the people aroused the vote
at the primary is going to be a decid-
edlv small one. In former years can
didates for office have given a state
ment of their stand on all public ques-
tions and there is no apparent reason
for the omission of such statement
this year.

the evidence in connection with the de-

This was under the direction of Alder

Decision OF Judge Upheld in Complicat-
ed Rogers Will Case Heard Here.
The supreme court on Tuesday hand
cd down decision affirming the deci-
sion of Judge Belden in the circuit
court for Kenosha county in the case
Of the Interpretation of the will of
Martha Rogers formerly of Delavan.
The case had attracted wide attention
and many attorneys had questioned the
decision of the court. At the time of
the death of Mrs. Rogers her husband,
Frederick Rogers, filed suit for di-
vorce from her and the decree had
been granted to him. The year did not
expire before the death OF Mrs. Rogers
and at the time of her death it was
held that Frederick Rogers was still
the husband of the deceased and as
such entitled to administer her estate
under will which provided that he
should receive the property eff he
were still her husband at the time of
her death. Judge Belden held that
Rogers was not husband in the real
meaning of the testatrix and that he
could not act as administrator of the
estate. The supreme court sustained
this opinion. Other relatives of Mrs.
Rogers viii now make petition for the
naming of q new administrator of the
estate. The property left by Mrs.
Rogers is said to be valued at about
$4,000
