Concession to the Company.
"In accordance with that policy" the
report explains. 1.-The request of the
company to enter into negotiations
with view to bringing about with
out a protracted and necessarily un-
unlawful monopoly was granted. but
the criminal aspects of the case were
kept constantly in mind and care was
taken to do nothing which might in

District Training Schools.
Referring to the work of the Ma
tional Training School for Boys and
of the National Training School for
Girls, the report says:
THE report of the board of trustees
of the National Training School for
Boys shows that there were confined
in the school on June 80. 1914, 405
juvenile offenders, an increase of
twenty-three over June so, 1913. There
were received during the fiscal year
1S9 juvenile prisoners, a decrease of
ninety-two as compared with the prior
year. OF this number eighty were
committed from the Juvenile Court of
the District of Columbia, five from the
Supreme Court of the District of CO.
lumbia and sixty-two from the United
States courts. There we're returned
to the school thirty-eight paroled
prisoners and four boys who had
escaped.
During the year work on the new
central school building was continued.
and the trustees express the hope that
the work will be SO well advanced as
to permit of a portion of the structure
being used early in the fall of 1915.
The report of the trustees of the
National Training School for Girls
shows that on June 80, 1914. there
were seventy-eight inmates. During
the year there were twenty-eight COM
mitments and thirty-two paroles. The
health of the inmates has been re-
markedly good. The board calls at
tention to the necessity of caring for
feeble-minded colored girls, who in
the past have been sent to this school
because of the lack of an appropriate
institution to care for them. The

ELECT ST. PAUL MAN.
M. G. Potter Chosen Superintendent of
Milwaukee Schools on Tuesday.

M. c. Potter, prominent st. Paul ed
ueator, was elected superintendent of
the schools of Milwaukee at meet
ing of the board of education of that
city on Tuesday night The fact is of
interest in Kenosha on account of the
fact that Mrs. Mary D. Bradford,
superintendent of the Kenosha schools
had been one of the educators consid-
cred for the position. Facts in regard
to the recommendations of the commit
tee show that Mrs. Bradford was very
highly considered by the committee,
but there was a strong sentiment
against the employment of woman
head of the schools in Milwaukee.
Mrs. Bradford had TIE active support
of several members of the board Mrs.
Bradford was in no way candidate
for the position and she was consid-
cred wholly at the initiative of mem
bers of the committee named to make
recommendations to the board.

SURPRISE FOR CHAIRMAN.
Members Of Board Observe the S3rd
Anniversary Of Chairman Yule.

John L. Yule, veteran member of the
county board and its present chairman,
was eighty three years old today and
the one real mean thing that he had
done in his life was to refuse to enter
tain the members Of the board at a
dinner on account of the fact that the
session in November lasted a little
longer than the chairman had expected.
Members of his family removed this
one blot from his record today but they
id it without the consent or knowledge
of Chairman Yule. When he reached
home just after noon after a strenuous
session of the board he found all of the
men who he had left at the court house
few minutes before seated in the liv-
ing room of his home awaiting him. 1t
was q complete surprise to Chairman
Yule, but he proved the host royal. The
turkey dinner provided by Mrs. Yule
was the feature of the noon tide cele-
bration. This afternoon the members
of the board presented Mr.. Yule with
handsome humidor and box of his
favorite cigars as remembrance of the
day.

aside for the handing out of the sup
plies. The city has found a great saw
ing in wholesale buying of supplies for

SEWER GAS EXPLoDEs.
Pipe in Sewer on Middle St. Is Cracked
by an Explosion-Are Investigating

City Engineer B. G. Brennan and his
aids are investigating an explosion of
sewer gas which occurred on Monday
night in sewer on Middle street and
the investigation is to be most vigor-
Gus one. This is the first time that
such an explosion has been known in
Kenosha The gas exploded with so
much force that it blew the covers off
of catch basins and loosened frozen
earth. More than this several of the
pipes in the sewer were cracked by the
explosion. At the time men were work
ing in trench alongside of the sewer
making connection and it is declared
that the pipe was struck with pick
with such force as to make the fire fly
It is thought that this spark of fire
caused the explosion of the gas in the
sewer. The damage was small.
