Wilmot Is at Head of Five
Elected to County School
Board on Tuesday.
THOMAS OF SOMERS DEFEATED

Complete returns Of the election in
the towns of the county on Tuesday
for the selection of the first county
board of education were tabulated by
the county clerk and the county can
wasting board this morning and these
showed the election of A. G. Pacey of
Wilmot, Raymond Powell of Bristol
George Mahoney of Pleasant Prairie
Frank r. Shuart of Bristol, and P. M
Anderson of Somers. George P. Thorn
as of Somers was the unfortunate can
didate to be dropped as a result of the
canvass of the ballots.
The election of the first board which
will have powerful influence on the
future of the schools of the county,
did not attract wide attention among
the voters of the county and A. G..
Pacey of Wilmot, who led in the bal
loting, had vote of but GIL. In many
of the towns the vote was much small
er for the school board candidates than
for town officials. In the town of
oalem, Where nearly 400 votes were
cast in the license fight, the highest
vote cast for a member of the board
of education was but 10.
The new board will organize early
in May and at that time the members
will decide by lot the length of their
terms. Later a president will be nam
ed and the board will take over the
management of all the rural schools
in Kenosha county. All of the men
named for the office are well known
to the people of the county and all IT
them have shown a great interest in
schools under the school district man
agement. The following is the vote
for the various candidates in the diff
ferent towns of the county:

Sees VALUE OF SYMPATHY

That He Is Qualified For Office That

he was candidate for sheriff at the

an insane man, but rather one of a
man who is quick to realize political
conditions.

he has already gon1 merrily about the
work of organizing his forces for the

SIGNS WITH MILWAUKEE TEAM.
Kenosha Motorcycle Racer to be Mem
Der of the Team in Milwaukee.

Ed. Harmer, the Kenosha motorcycle
rider, who won fame during the rae
ing season of 1913, has signed con-
tract to be a member of the team
which will race at the Milwaukee
motordrome at Ravinia Park in that
city during the coming season The
first races are to be pulled off on
Decoration day and Harmer will be a
member of a team of twelve riders,
many of them famous as racers on
motorcycle tracks. Harmer will prob
ably be the leader of the motordrome
team and while he will spend most of
his time on Milwaukee tracks it is
probable that he will ride in all the big
race meets of the season just opening.
1t is possible that several other Keno
sha motorcycle riders will answer the
lure of the track this summer, but as
yet none of these men have signed
formal contracts for the season.

WANT RESIDENCE DISTRICT.
Property Owners on Lake Ave. Would
Prevent Building of Business Buildings

The north side of the city is to
have one of the new residence districts
as property owners on Lake avenue
this morning put a petition into circu-
lation asking that an ordinance be
passed which would include the whole
Of Lake avenue and probably portions
of the east side of milwaukee, avenue
in residence district. The activity is
due to the fact that a report has been
circulated that plans are being made
for the building Of business building
on lot on Lake avenue. This avenue
is now one of the best residence dis
tricts of the city and the people are
anxious to keep it free from business
houses.

Former KenOshan Draws 6
Months Sentence to Work
House in Milwaukee.
TANGO ROMANCE ENDS IN JAIL

Chester Barrett, formerly of Kenosha
and man of charming clothes and a
fondness for the dance hall, was ar
rested in Milwaukee on Monday morn
ing charged with grand larceny and
before the day was over he had been
sentenced by Judge Backus to term
of six months in the house of correc-
ton. Barrett was arrested on the com
plant of Miss May Bettin, domestic,
who charged him with the theft of a
valuable diamond ring. She told the
judge that she had met Barrett at a
dance hall and that after dancing the
tango with her several times, Barrett
had escorted her to her home. When
he was gone she found that the dia-
mond ring which she had been wearing
had gone with him. Barrett did not
make an extended defense.
Barrett lived in Kenosha for some
time and he was arrested here in April,
1910, charged with violation of the
innkeeper's statute. George Fischer of
the Hotel Fischer, made the complaint
against Barrett. Barrett at that time
had an extensive wardrobe and he man
aged to get out of Kenosha without
paying the board bill or serving time
for failing to pay it. When he left
here the case against him was dismissed
under an agreement that he should pay
the whole amount claimed by the hotel
man. Barrett had not been heard of
since that time until he was arrested
in Milwaukee. District Attorney
Drury is making an investigation of the
case and may cause the arrest of Bar
rett at the conclusion of his term in the
Milwaukee institution.

MAYOR HEAD GAVE new. SITE
Mayor Gets Proposition From Head of
Big Automobile Plant and Will Pre-
sent Proposition to City Council at
Final Meeting on Monday.

The long cherished plan of people of
the building of new fire station in
that district was given new impetus
on Monday afternoon by Charles 7. JEFF
ferry, president of the Thomas B. JEFF
ferry company, when he notified Mayor
Dan. 0. Head that the company would
furnish new truck for such an engine
house if the city council made provi-
sion for its immediate erection. The
Jeffrey company will build a new high
power chassis and on this will be fitted
one of the bodies retained by the city
when the motor equipment was in
stalled. This will insure to the new
fire house an equipment equal to that
of any station in the city with the ex-
ception of the Central station. The cost
of building this new equipment will
be considerable over $4,000, but Mr.
Jeffrey is willing to make this contri-
button to the city with view of secur
ing better protection from fire for the
west and northwest sides of the city
Mayor Dan. 0. Head, more than a
year ago, presented the city with lot
on West Grand avenue, which is de-
.clared to be worth more than a thou
sand dollars. This lot was given as a
site for the proposed new engine house.
It is ideally located at the west limits
of the city, and is in the very center
of the large territory on that side of
the railway tracks. This lot was held
to be of especial value on account of
the fact that it was far enough away
from the railway tracks to eliminate
danger Of the trucks being held up
when called for fires on the west side.
Mayor Head will lay the matter be-
fore the common council on next Mon
day evening and with the assurance
that there will be little or no objection
on the part of new members of the
council he will ask that the council &C
cept the gift of Mr.. Jeffrey on the con-
ditions named.
With the site donated and the equip
ment furnished by the Jeffrey company
it is thought that the cost of opening
the proposed west side station will not
exceed $4,000. Plans have already been
made for the erection Of q "bungalo"
station similar to the one erected dur
ing the past year on Elizabeth street.
For the past five years the people of
the west side have been urging the
erection of such a station and they
have held that it is absolutely neces-
sary in order to furnish proper fire pro
lection for the great territory on the
west and northwest sides Of the city.
They hold that with such station
the city will have its fire department
equipped for at least ten years of
growth.
While no appropriation was made for
the building of this station similar
case was met last year in the erection
of the station on Elizabet1 street, and
the money for it's completion was ad-
vanced from the general fund pending
an appropriation made at the time of
the last 5ax levy.
Chief Isermann has strongly urged
the building of the new station and it
is said to e favorably considered by
the members of the present committee
on fire department.
