E. Mistozky Takes Kerosene
From Child and Starts a
Fire on the Sidewalk.
FIGHTS WITH POLICE OFFICER

Emery Mistozky, Racine man, evil
IDENTIFY demented, caused lot of ex-
element at the corner of Fremont
avenue and Elizabeth street lust af-
ter six clock Tuesday evening when
he poured the contents of two gallon
can of kerosene on the sidewalk and
set fire to it. The man is supposed to
be demented. He had come to Keno
sha only a short time before he got
into trouble and was standing at the
corner in question when a little son
of Nels Christensen came along carry
ing the can of oil. The Racine man
caught hold of the boy and took the
can of oil from him. The boy shouted
to some people in the neighborhood but
they failed to realize what was being
done and paid no attentio to the mat
ter until they saw the Racine man
pouring the oil on the sidewalk The
boy fed from the man and a minute
later Mistozky deliberately took a
match from his pocket and lighting a
piece of paper set fire to the oil. The
flames spread over the sidewalk toward
the surrounding buildings and then
the people got busy. Police Officer
Emil Clausen was in barber shop
near the corner and when he heard the
cutlery he jumped out of the barber
chair and went to the rescue. He at
tempted to arrest the Racine man, but
he put up hard fight and attempted to
board street car. Finally with the
aid of pedestrians Mistozky was land
ed in Jail.
The Racine police when notified of
the arrest of the man declared that he
had formerly lived in boarding house
at Racine and had left there on Tues
day morning announcing that he was
going to Detroit.
In the municipal court this morning
the man entered plea of guilty to
charges of making disturbance on
the street and paid fine of S. and

Baltimore Mayor Asks City
to Observe Centennial of
"Star Spangled Banner"
MAKE OBSERVANCE GENERAL

Kenosha has been asked to take part
In new centennial celebration as the
mayor has received letter from the
mayor OF Baltimore, asking that Keno
sha take part in the celebration of the
one hundredth birthday of the ''Star
Spangled Banner.' The big celebra-
ton is being fostered by the mayor
OF Baltimore and he is appealing to
mayors in all the larger cities of the
nation to make the week from Septem-
Der 9th to September 18th this year,
one notable for the display of cold
Glory Baltimore is going to have
a great gathering in honor of the
event and Mayor James II. Preston
of that city expects the echo of this
celebration to be heard in every city
of the land. He has sent the follow
ing letter to the mayor
/" Dear Sir:-In September of this
year will occur the Tooth anniversary
of the birth of the "star Spangled
Banner" and the achievement of
American Independence. Both these
events were made possible blythe sue
cessful defense of Baltimore against
the British, and that they may be fit
tlngly commemorated, we will hold
from September 9th to 18th, celebra-
ton that will excel all others of like
character. For more than a year, the
citizens of Baltimore have been work
ing diligently to complete plans that
are in keeping with the high dignity of
the anniversary. Thousands from all
sections will come to our city to paw
homage to the author and the song
that has never failed to thrill with
pride the heart of every loyal
American.
But while this gathering will be
great in numbers, throughout the land
there will be millions who will find it
impossible to come. It is only proper
therefore, that some steps should be
taken to make them feel that they
have part in the great national cele-
bration, 1t seems to me that no better
method could be adopted to bring this
about than to have the national stand
ard, the "Stars and Stripes" flying
over every public building, business
institution and residence in every city
during the entire celebration. To you,
the chief executive of our city, I ap-
peal for cooperation, and feel sure
that the general use of the American
Flag during centennial week will not
only aid the cause of patriotism, but
present to the world striking picture
of the strength, purity and loyalty of
which the Heaven-born Bannern is
the emblem.
Anticipating with pleasure an ex-
preston of your views on this subject,

Very truly yours,

Ma Relieve Vera Cruz.

The rapid advance of the constitu.
tionalists from the north is expected
to cause a concentration of troops in
the capital. This will, it is said, tend
to relieve the situation at Vera Cruz.
Information was received that order
prevailed in Mexieo City, but that HUI.
erta's position was very precarious.
Not only the military situation, but
also the financial condition of the
Mexican government is becoming
more serious. The railroads of the
country and its business have been
suspended.
Since the occupation Of Vera Cruz,
where the rSsenues are being collect
ed and sequestered by the American
government. Huerta would have been
eliminated but for the money he OBJ.
tanned through the customs collections
at other ports. Now this source of rev
enue is cut off.
The policy of the United States is
to maintain its present position at
Vera Cruz without advancing its lines.
Brigadier General Funston, command
ing the American force, has been di.
rected to hold the city and the water
works, but not to take any aggressive
steps and to fire only when attacked.
An advance on Mexico City is not
regarded as necessary or desirable at
present. What will be Huerta's fats
can only be told by future events.
There is no doubt that he will be
executed if he falls into the hands OF
the constitutionalists. Zapata would
probably treat him in similar fashion
There is a belief on the part OF
those who have maintained an init
mate touch with conditions in Mex
leo City that Huerta-perhaps within
the next few days-will be disposed
of by his own people. Possibly to
escape a tragic fate he may escape
from the country.
Sift Wilson-ViIIa ALLIANCE"
A resolution calling on President
Wilson for information as to whether
there was any basis for a published
statement that he might aid Villa to
become the next ruler of Mexico, was
introduced in the senate by Mr.. Lip
pitt of Rhode Island.
Senator Lodge took the floor and
read denunciation of Villa published
in a London paper.
Il would like to ask the chairman
of the foreign relations committee"
said Senator Poindexter, interrupting
Mr.. Lodge, eff there is any truth in
the statement that the state depart.
ment is preparing life of 'Pancho
Villa for the information of senators"
Il have seen such a statement in
the newspapers" replied Senator
Stone.
Mr.. Lodge then said that Mexico
was interested in the Panama canal
and that the United States in turn was
interested in whoever might become
ruler of Mexico.
"Pancho Villa is candidate for that
Office" the senator added
The article portrayed Villa as a
killer of defenseless men, robber.

numerous atrocities for which it said
Villa was responsible.

ments for it's use," said Senator
Lodge.
The resolution went over until to-
morrow.

The "clean up' work that has been
done will go long way to put the city
in sanitary condition to meet the com
ing of the hot weather. The streets
and alleys were looked after by the
city departments and the hundreds Of
notices which had been served by the
health department calling the attention
of property owners in all sections Of
the city to conditions on their prem
ises which needed looking after were
very generally productive of results
and many of the "plague spots !"
which have been an eye sore to the
health commissioner and menace to
the health of the city have disappear
ed Most of the property owners show
ed willingness to cooperate in every
way possible with the health depart
ment and in most cases it may be
said that all through the year it has
seldom been necessary to send more
than one clean up' notice to prop
erty owners. There are exceptions to
this rule of course, but they will be
looked after. 1t may be necessary to
serve some warrants to force compli-
ance with the orders of the health de-
partment, but there will only be few
of these cases. Few people are so in
different to public opinion that they
do not mind being brought into court
on charges of maintaining nuisance,
not to mention the fine and costs that
will have to be paid.

SEEK CARRANzA'S
AID IN PARLEYS
DESPITE REBUFF
Mediators Still Urge Him to
Send Agent.
Huerta May Be Eliminated by Rebels
Soon, Is Washington BeIief-Dic-
tator's Financial Condition Is
Most Serious.

Washington, May calculation of
the Mexican trouble will proceed with
or without the participation of GEN
eral Carranza and his constitutionalist
colleagues in the negotiations. The be-
lief, however, is that Carranza might
be party to the proceedings.
1t was learned authoritatively that
further effort was being made to in
duce Carranza to sen a representa-
tive to the parleys.
The mediators had further explained
their position to Carranza and were
hopeful that he might be represented
without seeking to limit his agent to
discussion of any particular subjects.
To Meet in Canada.
Announcement was made through
Secretary of State Bryan personally
in behalf of the mediators that they
and the representatives of the United
States and Mexico would begin their
conference at Niagara Falls, Canada
May IS.
Mr.. Bryan's announcement in full
was as follows:
"The mediators have notified the
different parties that Niagara Falls,
Canada, has been selected as the place
where the mediators will confer with
representatives of the different parties
interested in the mediation, and that
the 18th of May has been fixed as the
date when the conference will be-
gin"
With the elimination of Carranza
from the mediation negotiations, as an
nounced "a hours ago, because of his
refusal to agree to an armistice in
the internal war, most students of the
situation thought the bottom had
fallen out of the entire plan. The
Washington government still is friend
ly to the cause of the constitutionalists
in an indirect way
Wilson Says go Ahead"
When Carranza refused to stop his
military movements and was elimina-
ted from the proposed conference the
scope of the mediation naturally was
narrowed to the issues between the
United States and Huerta.
1t was learned later that when the
mediators decided to withdraw their
invitation to Carranza to appoint rep
resenatives, Secretary Bryan was adj
vised of the crisis and was asked
whether President Wilson would be
willing to waive the requirement that
the proposed settlement be satisfac-
tory to ''the different elements in Mex
leo, as required in his letter accept.

While the resident did not specifi-

General Ve1asco, who commanded
the federals at Torreon, is also report
ed to be at odds with his former com

With these serious reverses crowd

NEED MANY SCHOOLS.
Burt Williams of Ashland Shows De
mand for School in Wisconsin Cities.

Dull Wul1dluS u ASnlanu OnOWS O6-
mand for School in Wisconsin Cities.
(by Burt Williams in the Milwaukee,
Journal).
The question of constructing new
school buildings to keep pace with
rapidly increasing school population is
becoming serious problem in growing
manufacturing cities in Wisconsin
Several of the larger cities are dis
cussing construction of new high school
buildings, and a million dollars or more
will undoubtedly be invested in high
school structures within the next year
and a half.
The voters of Marinette have Just
authorized construction of a $125,0OO
high school building after having voted
down the proposition year ago. The
need of new high school was urgently
put forth by the school authorities of
Marlnette for two or three years, but
the people were apparently opposed I'M
til state school authorities few months
ago condemned the present structure
and an overwhelming vote in favor of
new building followed this month.
Many New Schools Needed.
School authorities at Racine desire
several new school buildings. They
asked q 100000 grade school building,
and the common council opposed the
proposition a month ago. The city is
also confronted with the proposition of
constructing a new high school, to cost
probably $350,000, but the recent pur-
chase of the water work plant there.
and the probable issue of city bonds
Tor such purposes, makes it difficult to
provide new high school funds. Racine
has just finished two handsome grade
buildings, each costing 800 900. Yet
these do not satisfy the needs.
Sheboygan is considering new biob
school, planning to invest between
100000 and 100000, but definite
plans have not yet been decided upon.
Oshkosh Makes Progress.
Oshkosh is getting plans for new
$4,000 grade school building that in
cludes open air rooms for children
susceptible to tuberculosis. This is a
feature OF most up-to-date grade schools
now being constructed. Oshkosh has
recently completed 100000 manual
training building.
Green Bay has just finished a ward
school building costing over 800 900.
one Of the finest grade buildings
in the state.
Kenosha is considering new high
school structure The school popula-
ton there has increased very rapidly.
That city had the greatest increase
III population from 1900 to 1910 of
any Wisconsin city.
La Crosse was fortunate last wear
IN having q completed and an attrac-
tive 100000 school building for manu-.
al and Industrial training presented to
the city by Frank P. Hixon and this
helps materially to supply the school
building needs Of that city.

The council has ordered the strictest
enforcement of the school district
speed law and hereafter all vehicles
within the limits of these districts will
be expected to maintain speed of not
greater than eight miles an hour
Signs will be placed marking the linn
its of these districts so that there can
be no excuse for any violations of the
law by the driver of any kind of a
vehicle, and all drivers are warned
that it is the intention to enforce this
school district speed law to the limit
The enforcement of the city speed or
dinances and the state speed laws is
what might be called spasmotic in Ke,
nosha. We have period of great ac-
tivity of the police with numerous ar
rests and fines, followed by time
when the speed laws are very generally
observed and there is little or no call
for any interference by the police.
Then the drivers gradually work up
speed, complaints begin to come in of
reckless driving and narrow escapes
from serious accidents and the police
put the brakes on and the program of
arrests and fines begins all over again.
1t is stated, however, that the school
district speed law is to be on all of
the time in the vicinity of all school
buildings and all of the people of the
city will be glad to see it enforced
to the letter. Even the most hardened
"speed maniac = will admit that law
designed as this is to safeguard the
children cannot be too vigorously
enforced.
