Mrs. John Marcinkowski, of No.
1850 Duboisst., swore out warrant
charging her husband with non-sup-

the police justices to gaze on a real
champion. Mrs Marcinowski says
that her husband has never worked
more than two days In any one month,
for the last eight years.

ably require another week. The city
hopes to have Ashland avenue open for
traffic before the first of February but
before the road way can be formally

Plans for Collections on Lots Sold.
Members OF the board of directors of
the kenosha industrial Association met
at the Office of Mayor Head in the city
nail TINS morning to take up the old
problem of forcing payments on lots in
the Ropeville subdivision. There is still
large sum of money to be collected
from the sale of the lots and The men
who purchased them seem to be slow to
come across with the payments. There
are still few of the purchasers who
have made only the initial payment on
the lots. Others have made only a
few payments. The association is now
sadly IN need OF money to close up its
transactions. Plans for court suits
against all lot purchasers were made
today. The association plans to go in
to court and take judgments against all
of the people who have failed to- live
up to their contracts.

Aug. Erhardt, Well Known
Twin Lakes Resident Is
Drowned in Lake Mary.
BODY FOUND FRIDAY MORNING

August Erhardt, aged forty-fve years
and resident Of the Twin Lakes
neighborhood for more than ten years,
was drowned In Twin Lakes some time
Thursday afternoon and after an all
night search the remains of the man
were recovered on Friday. Justice Of
the Peace, II. 7. Hofner, held an in
quest over the remains and signed the
death certificate showing that he had
met death through accident. No wit
ness was found who saw Erhardt fall
into the water but big break in the
thin ice which covered Lake Mary,
seemed to Indicate that the man had
met death while fishing through the ice
Erhardt was one of the most enthu-
siastic fishermen about Twin Lakes and
he had been seen about the lake for
the past few days testing the ice. He
went out on the lake early Thursday
afternoon and had been fishing quite
ways from the beach. Evidently he
had found no luck at this point and he
returned to the beach. 1t is supposed
that later he went further out on the
treacherous ice. No one about the lakes
heard him call for help and it is sup
posed that he was so numbed by fall
ing into the cold water that he was un-
able to even call for help. The water
was about twelve feet deep at the place
where the body was found on Friday.
Erhardt had worked about the ice
houses and for farmers in the Twin
Lakes neighborhood for many years,
but few Of the men about the lake
knew anything of his life history. He
was never married. It was supposed
that he had considerable sum Of
money in one of the banks of the citv
but the county agent was unable to To-
cate this money when he made an in
vestigation today.
The funeral of Erhardt will be held
at Twin Lakes this afternoon.

URGED BY VICE COMMISSION
Members of the Local Commission in
Doubt as to the Value of Women in
This Work But Would be willing to
Have Women Take Stars on Trial.

As a result of the recommendations
OF the special commission of the Wis
consin legislature in connection with
the investigation of vice in the state
the police and fire commission of Keno
sha may be asked to name woman or
women to the police force Of the city.
The naming of women for the force has
been strongly urged in statement sent
out by the commission, the members of
1T holding that Investigations made
have so far shown that there is an alb
solute need of woman in every city
to handle cases of young girls which
are at present handled by the regular
police department. The commission
has intimated that it will propose a
law to the next Legislature making a
appointment of women to the police
force obligatory on the police and fire
commissions of all cities of the first,
second and third class.
Members of the Kenosha police and
fire commission were unwilling to com
NIT themselves on the question when
seen this morning. One of them said:
- / can see how woman police officer
could be of value in cities like Keno
sha, but would rather have some other
city try it out first. It might be good
plan to give some Kenosha woman ac-
tive in the social reform work police
r overs without pay and in this way see
just how much her work would aid in
bettering conditions among young girls.
1t is just possible that the work of a
real good woman police officer would go
a long way toward cleaning up a lot
of the problems regarding the handling
OF the criminal class among girls and
women. The woman knows better than
any one else how to handle the case of
a young girl that has gone wrong. The
Kenosha commission has had sugges-
tions of woman official before but
the matter has never been given any
very serious consideration. -
Leaders in the social reform work
among the women of the city have not
had chance to consider the POSSIBLE
ties of woman police officer in Keno
sha as yet. OF course if state law
makes it obligatory Kenosha will have
its women police officers. 1t is just
possible that before this law is passed
Kenosha will have woman parole Of
ficer to take care of erring girls. For
some time these girls have been placed
in the care of the organizations and in
most cases the results have been decid-
eddy satisfactory.
