Creditors Of the United Re
frigerator Company Sign
Agreements to Wait.
COMMIT 0FPl.ANT


With eighty-fve per cent Of the mer-
chandise creditors giving signed
agreement and others declaring them
selves favorable to the plan the big
plant Of the United Refrigerator and
Ice Machine Company went under the
control of the Creditors Committee,
following the meeting of the creditors
on Tuesday afternoon and it is thought
that the continued operation of the
plant is assured. Before the close Of
the meeting on Tuesday eighty-fve per
cent of the merchandise creditors had
agreed to give the company an extern
sion of time for the payment of their
claims against it and under the agree
ments the claims are to be iquidated
at rate of SO per cent for payment in
full. The first payment on the claims
under the agreement is to be made on
July 10Th, 1915. The fact that the
plant is to be operated by creditors
committee will have no effect on it's
policy. The men who have been active
in the control of the business of the
company will be in charge Of the plant
under the creditors committee and it
is not expected that there will be any
reduction in the number OF men EN-
ployed. The company has a large num-
Der of orders on hand at the present
time and the work Of filing these or
ders will go forward as rapidly as pos
sible. Tt is not thought that any of
the creditors will make an effort to
throw the affairs of the company into
the courts as it is not thought that
anything would be gained by such an
action and it most probable that such
an action would cut off what chance
there is of the continued operation of
the plant.
Peter B. Nelson President of the
Company in discussing the matter this
morning said: "More than eighty five
per cent Of the creditors have accepted
the proposition offered and have grant
ed an extension of time to the com
pany. No special guarantee has been
made to the creditors, it being under
stood that this is an extension of time.
The officials of the company and the
creditors committee have gone into
the matter at length and they feel GER
tain that the creditors will be well TAX
en- care of under the new plan. The
operation Of the plant by the creditors
committee will in no way affect the
local policy Of the company. We feel
that this plan will insure the continued
operation Of the plant and that with an
assured future the company will be
able to work out its own destiny. The
manner in which the plan was received
by the creditors was especially pleas
ing to the officials Of the company and
we feel certain that their faith has not
been misplaced. =
The creditors committee which will
have charge of the operation Of the
plant is the same committee which has
been working out the financial tangle.
It is headed by W. a. Walker Of Ra-
cine, the other members being G. r.
Carpenter and ". FL. Carpenter of Ra-

CARSLEY PLANS ARE ACCEPTED

Made at Meeting of the Board OF
Education Tuesday Night-Lay over
Proposition of School Nurse.

The Board of Education at its regu.
lar meeting on Tuesday evening decid-
ed to proceed at once with the erection
OF the open air school and the plans
for the school proposed by Architect
Carsley of Zion City were accepted and
adopted and the work will be started at

ton of two story structure especially
arranged to provide for the open air
school and for the school for the deaf.
The building will be either frame or of
stucco and it is expected that it will
be completed early in the new year,
The plans were selected by secret ball
lot. 1t is thought that the cost of the
new building will be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. This is in excess of
the amount suggested by the board but
the members of the board by large
majority favored the carrying out Of
the plans.
The erection of this building Will
give the schools of Kenosha a com
handing place along the lines of hui
manitarian movements in educational
work.
The question of employing a nurse
to look after the children of the city.

consideration on the part of the com
mittee and it is expected that some
final action will be made at the next
regular meeting of She board. Many

and it Is thought that the report will
be favorable to the employment of the

at the Columbus school. Miss Retta
Murphy teacher of the eighth grade

]. D. shoop, Chicago, Makes
Interesting Address to St.
Matthews Mems Club.
sLlnEo IGNORlEI.C OR ST1IFE

Wonderful word pictures of the mob
iiization Of great armies, of the ex-
element attending declarations Of war
and the pell NELL rush of foreign tray
elers to get out of Europe were feat
ured at the meeting of the Men 5 Club
of ST. Matthew s church on Tuesday
evening when John II. Shoop, Assistant
Superintendent of the Schools Of Chi
cago spoke on the subject, "The War
in Europe and Its Teachings. The adj
dress of Mr.. Shoop was one of the most
eloquent ever given in Kenosha under
any auspices and his story of the great
war in Europe and the lessons that it
is teaching the world proved entranc.
ing to great crowd of the members
and friends of the club who attended
this, the first meeting of the new sea-
son. Mr.. Shoop was a member of the
Chicago party sent to Europe t oinyes-
tigate educational conditions and when
the first rumors of war were heard the
party was in London, it moved on to
Paris and had planned trips to Berlin
and Vienna but with the breaking out
of the war the travellers chose Belgium
as neutral country. Mr.. Shoop hum
orously declared that as picker of
neutral countries the party would new
er win any prizes. He told of the mob
ilization of the Belgian army but de
clared that he could not violate the
pledge of neutrality made by the Presi-
dent by going intimately into the great
fight for the control of this country.
r Mr.. Shoop declared that one of the
great teachings of the war was the
lesson of seeking something of intrin-
sic value. The war had taught many
people that money was valueless and
that the man with an active brain and
resoureeful was much better off than
the man loaded down with silver and
gold. He declared that the final anaIy-
sis of the causes was either selfish
ness or ignorance and that the secret
of civilization was the control of self.
He made a strong plea for education
as the greatest asset of the young man
He spoke Interestingly of the London
Laboringman S school started more
than sixty years ago and told of how
this school had enlisted the services of
Morros and Ruskin but how it had
failed of appreciation until recent
years He declared that the great edu.
cational movements were just begin
ming to come into their own and that
the coming generation would witness
a great advance in the cause of edu-
cation. The interesting address was
featured with brilliant wit and anee-
dote and the evening proved to be one
of the most charming ever offered for
the club members.
An added attraction at the meeting
was the singing of T. B. Price Of Nil.
waueke who gave a number Of solos
and responded graciously to many en-
cores.

the better it will be; not alone for

but for the people of our own
