Attorney General Says Stu
dents From Rural Towns
Must be Admitted.
TOWNS MUST PAYTUIT|ON BILLS

The school board of the city of Ke-
nosha may be forced to furnish high
school facilities for the higher educa-
ton of the boys and girls of the towns
of Pleasant Prairie and Somers and
other towns of Kenosha county which
are to the village of Wilmot. Attorney
General Walter Owen has handed
down a decision at Madison, holding
that high schools in districts must be
thrown open for the education of boys
and girls who may come from surround
ing districts where no such schools are
provided Sc long as the people Of the
towns in which the children reside are
willing to pay the tuition which has
been set by law at forty dollars a year
for each student.
The new law passed by the last leg
islature left no chance for the districts
il which high schools now are maintain
ed to escape from aiding in the educa-
tion Of the children from the towns
surrounding. The penalty assessed
against the school which may refuse TO
accept such students is the loss of sach
money as it would be entitled to re-
ceive from the state to aid in the main
tenance of the high schools. Should it
be shown that students had been re-
fused admission to the Kenosha school
the money which would properly come
to this city as a part of the seven
tenths mill tax would be left in the
school fund and be apportioned to other
counties in the state in the same
manner as the original apportionment
was made.
The law does not take into consid-
Grafton the possibility of crowded
school buildings and the holding of the
attorney general leaves no chance for
clubbing. The student from Pleasant
Prairie and Somers, so long as the
towns are ready to pay the tuition, has
the same standing at the Kenosha high
school as boy or girl from the first
ward Of the city
The Kenosha high school has for
years taken care of many students from
the towns in the county, but at the
resent time efforts are being made to
limit the number of these students re-
ceived at the high school on account of
lack of room for the accommodation Of
the great number of eighth grade stu
dents graduating from the city schools
who are ready to enter the high school.
With the introduction Of new courses
the high school has been made decid-
edly attractive for the rural pupils and
there will undoubtedly be many of
them who will insist on their right to
tske these courses for the tuition fee
which has been fixed by the state.
The cost of educating a student in the
high school is now fully eguat to the
amount paid by the town for tuition
and the admission of students from
other school districts is no longer a

Any one who has made an examina-
tion of the portable school buildings
will have difficulty in seeing on what
grounds the parents who object to their
children being housed in them base
their complaints. These little build
ings are certainly most sanitary and
they have advantages over many of
they have advantages over many of
the rooms in some of the larger build
ings. They are better ventilated and
better lighted than many of the regular
rooms and there is no comparison be-
tween them and rooms in Easements
where many of the children would have
been placed had the school board not
decided to use portable detached build
ings. In the view of the parents the
school board may be open to criticism
on many grounds, but the need was so
urgent and the advantages of the
small buildings so obvious that the
board cannot fairly be criticised for
making use Of them.

WANTS A PAROLE.
Albin Forsberg Sent to Prison from
This County Seeks to Secure Release.

This County Seeks to Secure Release.
Albin Forsberg, Chicago man sent
eLced to a term of two years in the
state prison at Waupun from this
county on September Is, 1913, has APP
pealed to the state board of control
for a parole and this morning the local
ficials were asked to pass on the APP
plication. Forsberg was charged with
a brutal assault on Joseph Macholew-
ski, who had been employed as a la
borer at the ice houses of the jefferson
Ice Company at Powers Lake. The
two men took part IN a drunken brawl
and Forsberg welded a knife with
such vigor that his antagonist was
terribly mutiliated. He was arrested
on charges of assault with intent to
do great bodily harm and pleaded
to the charge on the day after his ar
rest. Since he went to prison it is de-
clared that he has been model pri-
soner and the local officials will prob
ably not oppose the efforts that are
being made to secure his release on
parole. 1t is said that Forsberg has a
family in Chicago and the members of
the family have been urging his release
from prison. The hearing on the APP
plication will be held in Madison early
in October.

RESUMES WORK ON ROADS.
Cement Company Furnishes Cement
Which Meets All Demands.

Work on the concrete roads of the
county which was stopped a week ago
when cement furnished by one Of the
big companies failed to meet the speci-
fcations and tests demanded by the
state highway commission was resumed
on Thursday and the cement now being
used is being supplied by the same
company. The new supply sent to this
county has passed all of the tests de-
manded by the state and it is declared
to be of high quality. 1t is thought
that the twelve carload shipment sent
here formerly was part of an imper-
feet batch turned out at the mills as
the material now being supplied is de-
clared to be entirely satisfactory. No
steps have been taken by the county
officials to extend the time for the com
pletion of concrete work on the roads
and it is not thought that the contrac-
tors will ask for any extension of time
even though the work was tied up for
more than week on account of the
cement failing to meet the state tests.

In 1882 President Arthur vetoed a
river and harbor bill because it contain
ed appropriations for purposes not
for the common defense or general well
fare, and which do not promote COM
merce among the states. These provi-
sions, on the contrary, are entirely for
the benefit Of the particular localities
in which it is proposed to make i'm
provemelts The extravaganza ex-
penditure of public money is an evil. .
In 1896 President Cleveland vetoed a
river and harbor bill appropriating
fourteen million dollars, divided among
four hundred improvements, because
"many of the objects for which it APP
propriates public money are not related
to the public welfare, and many of
them are palpably for the benefit of
limited localities or in aid of individual
interests"
So far as we remember, no executive
since then has seriously tried to stop
these increasing log-rolled bills

The attorney for Kemen declared

LEAPS FROM SECOND STORY
Girl Held as Delinquent Violates Her
Parole Within Two Days of Release
and Escapes from Kenosha Clad in
Bright Flowered Kimona Today.

Agnes Hoffman, the Chicago girl,
who never had chance, the same girl
who sobbed out story of misspent
life in an unequal struggle against the
pitfalls of the world, to Judge Randall
III the municipal court few days ago
and by these stories won parole from
the court to the Associated Charities.
Is missing. The nature of her disap-
pearance was intentional as she jumped
from a second story window at the
home of DR.. Helen Harbert at two
O'Clock this morning and clad only in
bright colored kimona left the city.
Her present whereabouts are unknown
and it can be said that no special eff.
fort is being made by the police TO
locate her.
The Hoffman girl had been brought
into court on statutory charge. She
told the officials that she was an orphan
and yearned for chance to get start
ed right in life. She admitted that
she had left Kenosha clad in mems
clothes and had started for Detroit to
seek work only to be arrested before
she reached Chicago. She declared
that she had seen enough Of gay life
and wanted to be a respectable working
girl and on all of these representations
she was parolled to the Associated
Charities. DR.. Helen Harbert offered
to give the girl home until the Of
ficers of the charitable organization
could find d place for her and she was
Installed in one of the best rooms Of
the Harbert home. She had been Civ
EN- the bright colored kimona AL her
under clothing, but the remainder of
her clothes had been placed in another
room. The girl seemed to be entirely
satisfied and deeply grateful for plans
that were being made to secure her re-
form and she retired to her room early
Friday evening.
Early in>>the morning DR.. Harbert
felt breeze in her bedroom and went
tc investigate. She found the room
which had been occupied by the young
woman vacant and the open window
showed the manner of her escape. DR.,
Farbert at once notified the police and
Il search for the girl was made but
nothing was found of her. She is
thought to have taken an early train
cut of the city and is probably now with
some of her old associates in Chicago.
Ia the meantime letters have been re-
ceived in Kenosha which took lot of
the sobs out of the story of Agnes.
These letters declare that she is not
ar orphan, but that her father and
mother are living in Chicago and that
this is the third time that she has run
away from the parental home and on
account of her delinqutnc ies her par
eats have refused to have anything
more to do with her. It is probable
that the appearance of good looking
girl in a bright colored kimona was
something of shock to the train men
this morning but at that it is thought
that she made good her escape.

The fact that the council at its last
meeting voted to settle claim against
the city need not be taken as any en-
couragement to other claimants to en-
ter suit against the city or as an in
dication that the city would rather set
tie any kind of claim than fight. 1t
has always been as much the policy of
the city to pay any just claim present.

demands and the history of many cases

FINED AS TURKEY THIEVES.

The ungovernable desire to own a
fat turkey resulted in G. A. Klein and
John Emory being arraigned in the
municipal court on charges of petty
larceny this morning and they paid
fines of so and costs each. Emory and
Klein were driving along road in
Somers when one of the big turkeys Of
the flock of Frank Miller appeared
along the road and the two men left
the buggy and went in pursuit. They
captured the bird and they declared
to the court that they had planned to
release it just to see it fly, but that
they were attacked by an ungovern-
able desire to put it under the seat of
the buggy. The court held that the
"ungovernable desire'' amounted to
larceny and they were fined

WELL KNOWN WOMEN TO SPEAK

New fields of work have been open

Woman's Club for the season of 1914
1915 and the club manual which has
just been issued, shows that many in
teresting programs have been prepared
for the women of the club during the
now season. Matters of homely inter-
est and questions of great economic in
terest America today will be dis
cussed by the club women. The his
torical course which has been featured
iii the club work during the past few
years will not be followed this season
and instead Of delving into the past to
study historical movements the club
women will give their attention to the
study of men and movements which are
attracting the attention of the people
today. The first meeting Of the club
will be held on the afternoon of Octo-
Der 9TH and meetings will be held fort
nightly during the year. The commit
tee in charge of the program has draft

All that is now needed to make the
state fair success this year is an at
tendance record and the prospects that
the people of the state are going to
give the fair somewhere near the sup
port it deserves are better this year
than ever before. From all accounts
the arrangements for the fair both as
to exhibits and entertainment program
are as near perfect as it is possible to
make them and nothing has been left
undone that could add to the comfort
or enjoyment of the patrons. For the
first time in many years special eff
fort has been made to interest the
counties directly in the fair and over
fifty countiesSof the state have made
appropriations and arranged to send
special exhibits which insures repre-
sentative showing Of the products
and resources of the entire state.
Kenosha is among the counties partici-
pating in the display in the new county
building and the people of this county
have no reason to feel ashamed of the
showing made. The farmers in all sec
lions of the county have responded to
the invitation to send exhibits and it
is certain that the displays from this
county viii compare fayorably with
those from any county in the state.
With so many of our people having a
direct personal interest in the fair it is
relieved that there will be more Wis
itors from this county at the fair next
week than ever attended before. Ke-
losha county will do its part to make
the fair a success, both in exhibits and
attendance.

The recommendation of the chief of
police in his report has been accepted
by the council and three officers will
be added to the force at once. This
will make possible the giving of some
kind of police protection to the terri
tory recently annexed but it will still
leave the local department in the posi-
ton of covering greater extent of
territory with fewer men than any de-
partment in any Of the other cities of
the state.

Chicago, Sept 2S.-Rumors of an
ultimatum from Russia to Turkey had
considerable to do to-day with causing
an advance in the price Of wheat Clos
ing quotations were steady at sc to

fered a net decline Of va &c to 40

SC In provisions the outcome varied
from unchanged figures to rise Of
45c
According to unconfrmed reports,
Russia's demand was that Turkey
either disarm or fight. As the entrance
OF Turkey into the European war
might involve Italy and all the Balkan
States, many wheat speculators who
were short made haste to cover, fear
ing an excited and higher market in
case Turkey proved defiant. Advices
from the Southwest and Northwest in
Cicated that farmers were holding out
for higher prices.
Only temporary dip resulted from
q record breaking increase Of the Wis
ible supply total. The fact that Liver
pool was lower had scarcely any in
fueTce here.
