SENTENCE PROVES SURPRISE
Defendant Had Been Hopeful That
Relatives and Friends Would be Abls
to Secure a Suspended Sentence and
Give Him Another Chance.

Merton E. Smith, former clerk ands
bookkeeperf in the offices of the Chicago
Kenosha Hosiery Company, who last
Saturday pleaded guilty" to grandl
larceny, will spend three years at hard
labor in the state prison at Waupun.
Sentence was imposed upon Smith by
Judge George w. Taylor in the muni-3
cipal court Tuesday afternoon and hel
will be taken to the state prison late
today to begin his penal service.
The sentence came as a surprise to
Smith He had high hopes that
through the influence of his father,
who is a prominent business man at
Brush, Colorado, the court would find
a way to parole him and give him an
other chance, but when he appeared be-
fore Judge Taylor the judge had no
reason to defer sentence Smith was
not aware of the fact that his record
of criminal acts in his native state had
been made known to the court or that
his father had declined to come to
Kenosha and make a plea for his
liberty. He had been in jail since Sat
urday and on Tuesday he suggested to
the sheriff that he would like to have
the case closed up and the sheriff at
once took the matter up with District
Attorney A. L. Drury and Judge Tay-
lor. The district attorney made no OBJ
lection to an immediate sentence and
Smith was brought into court. When
aseed what lie had to sa,f III regard TO
the matter Smith was decidedly brief.
He declared that he had taken the
money from the hosiery compan. !, and
that he was ready for ser tence.
When Judge Taylor imposed the sent
ence of three years Smith appeared to
be surprised. He waited about the.
court room evidently thinking that
some move would be made to have the
sentence suspended or a parole offered
to him, but there was nothing along
these lines and the formal commitment,
was issued On Tuesday afternoon di.
recting the sheriff to take Smith
to prison.
The downfall Of Smith has been al
matter Of considerable interest to the
men in charge of the hosiery company.
1t is declared that Smith was one of
the most valued of the clerical en-.
ployees Of the Office Of the company.
Under the good time rule Smith may
be released from prison after serving
little over two years. 1t is thought
that members of his family viii appeal
to the state board of control for an
early parole for him and that if such a
parole can be secured he will be taken
back to his old home in Colorado and
given another chance to start over.
Smith was greatly disappointed in the
fact that his father failed to show
greater interest in the case, but when
he was led back TO the jail he declared
that he had no reason to expect any
further aid from his father on account
of the fact taat he had abused the
confidence which he had shown in him
on former occasions.
Smith will probably prove a useful
man in the state prison and it is not
improbable that he will be given
clerical position in one of the offces1of
the state penal institution.

Committee Busy at Work on
Plans For Merchants Out
ing at Central Park.
CROWD TO SET A new RECORD

Active work was started today to
complete the plans for the annual pic
mic of the Kenosha Retailers associa-
tion to be held at Central Park on the
afternoon and evening of july Both.
1t will be the third annual picnic of
the association and Secretary CT. D.
Theleen declares that it will be the
biggest thing of the kind ever held In
southern Wisconsin. It will be rip
roaring time for the merchants and
their friends and already assurance
has been given that business will be
practically abandoned in Kenosha for
the afternoon. Score of business
houses have already displayed signs de-
claring that they will be closed for the
picnic and it is thought that Retail
,er's Day. will be more generally OBJ
served than ever before. Joseph A.
Pitts is chairman of the committee in
charge of the picnic.
Efforts will be made to get some bet
ter railway facilities between the heart
of the city and Central Park, but it is
doubtful if the cherished scheme of
the members of the committee TO have
the interurban cars run to Market
Square can be worked out.
The program is still in the rough,
but it is certain that there will be
something doing every minute that the
merchants and their friends are at
Central Park. There will be baseball
games and races and sports and games
for the children and the grownups, and
the committee hopes to have a list of
prizes which will attract every one to
enter the sports and games.
There will be no liquor sold on the
grounds and as in the past year the
dinner will be served by the young wo-
men of ST. Thomas church. The full
program for the day will be announced
within the next two weeks.
While the picnic is designed particu-
larly as reunion of the Kenosha re-
tailers and the members of their FAM
lies, there will be delegations from
other cities and they will be welcomed
1t is expected that several hundred
will come from Racine and Milwaukee
merchants will have special car to
bring them to Central Park. The
Waukegan merchants have already an
nounced their intention of sending q
big delegation.
We expect this picnic to be the
biggest gathering, bar none, in Keno
O
Theleen this morning. 1.-The plans
tnow being made provide to put on the
picnic on much larger scale than
ever before and we would not be sur
prised if the crowd at the park was
well over 5000 people. Z

MUST Go TO PRISON.
Andrezej Nowroczyk, Who Stabbed His
Wife, Gets Two Years.

Andrezej Nowroczyk, an inhumaE
husband, who stabbed his wife, nurs-
ing mother, in. the right breast at their
home on Racine avenue last Sunday
morning, will be taken to the state
prison at Waupun early Thursday morn
ing to begin serving a sentence of two
years at hard labor. The man was
brought before Judge Taylor in the
municipal court late Tuesday after
noon and he entered plea of "guilty"
to charge of assault with intent to
do great bodily harm. The wife, who
was seriousely injured by her husband,
was not in court at the time sentence
was imposed as she is still suffering
from her wounds. When asked if he
had anything to say the only defense
that Nowroczyk made was that he had
been drinking. lie appeared to be
deeply penitent and suggested that the
Judge give him another chance, but the
Judge was deaf to all entreaties and
ordered him committed to the state
prison.

TO USE COLLINS Street SITE
City Council Will be Asked to Issue
Bonds For the Board at once-Fi-
nancial Report Shows Cost of the
Schools During the Year just Closed.

A new twenty-room grade school for
Kenosha was the decision of the board
of education at the meeting held on
Tuesday night at the city hall and it,
will be located on the Collins street
site recently purchased by the board.
The plans for the building as pre-
pared by Howard H. Hahn, will be
used for the building and it will cost
in the neighborhood of one hundred
thousand dollars. The decision Of the
board to build this building was reach
ed only after most careful investiga-
tion of conditions and when the final
vote was taken but one commissioner,
Commissioner Hahn of the fifth ward,
was against the plan to proceed at
once with the building. The board has
no fund to provide for the building
operations, but request vii be sent
to the council asking that bond issues
be arranged for to provide money for
the new school.
While a total of 100000 will be de-
manded this can be arranged in con-
venient issues as it will take fully a
year to complete the erection of the
big building. 1t is expected that there
will be some opposition to the bond is
sues on the part Of members of the
council but it is declared that the need
of more school facilities in the cir is
so urgent that the members of the
council are expected to see the neces-
sitv of action. Figures furnished by
members of the board showed that Che
growth in the number of school child
rem in the south district of the city
had been abnormally large and this
emphasized the demand for the new
building on the Collins street site.
1t is expected that the work on the
new building will be started before the
opening of new school year and that
the building will be completed by the
opening of the school year in Septem-
Der of 1915.
The board decided to abandon the
use of lake water at the high school
building and plans are now being made
for the sinking of well on the school
grounds and water from this well will
be pumped into the building and used
exclusively for drinking purposes.
The NEE .lng of the board was large
ly taken up in the discussion of the
new building and in routine business.
The annual report of the board to the
council showing the receipts and dis
bursements for the year was presented
and sanctioned and the board also
unanimously adopted the financial re-
port and budget for the coming year.
These two reports follow:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council, of the City of Kenosha, Wis.

SUGAR AND PROSPERITY IN PORTO
RICO.

Publication is made at San Juan of the exter
nal commerce statistics of Porto Rico for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1914 The value of
exports to the United States is given as $780,
100000, or about $6,000,000 less than in 1913,
due it is said to the lower average price of
sugar. However, the late advance in sugar
prices has materially benefited Porto Rico, con-
corning which the following statement appears
in the Porto Rico Progress for August 19, 1914:
Between $1,000 and $4,000 of the approx
mate $4,000 bags of sugar held in Porto Rico
when prices commenced to so up two weeks
ago were reported sold at $6.52 per 100 pounds,
or just double the price prevailing before the
European war. On August sugar was quoted
at 1926. With $4,000 bags of sugar to dispose
of, Porto Rico sugar men have realized an in
creased profit of over 81, 000,O inside of two
weeks As result, sugar men throughout the
island are preparing to plant as much acreage
as possible for 1916. -

WHISKY AND THE NEWSPAPERS

Editor of the Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: If my fchool teacher. af-
ter teaching my children, should for a
consideration tell my children where
they can get certain brand of whis-
ky, and at the same time dilate upon
the supposed virtues of said whisky,
and If / do not wish my children to
drink whisky at all would | then be
justified in discharging my teacher?
II my children attended church
where the preacher tells his hearers
where they can get the best whisky
for the least money, am justified In
the radical step of taking my children
to some other church TO worship?
If my newspaper persists In hounting
several columns of liquor advertise
ments in the face of my boys. and II
/ do.not want my boys to drink whisky,
shall I stop the paper from coming to-
my home, just as would stop the
whisky drummer from coming to my
home?
Every man who takes a paper that
advertises whisky, is he not helping to
sell whisky?
If it is wrong to sell whisky. then
does not he who helps to sell whisky
do wrong also?
Yours sincerely, IL. -.

THE SOLDIER AS CITIZEN.

Schofield Bks., Sept. Is, 1914.
Sir: The agitation that has been GO
ing on through the columns of your
valuable paper for some time past to
devise means Of lettering the condi-
ton OF the enlisted man of the United
States army and calling for sugges-
tons from the rank and file to make
him more contented while serving in
Hawaiian territory seems to have set
tied on civilian clothes while OF duty
as the main object to be attained.
That is very good, of course, but the
trouble Is deeper than clothes. The
problem that is concerning the SOL
diers here is the same thing that is
concerning them everywhere.
Has it never occurred to the good
people who would make the U. S. SOL
der more contented on Oahu that the
army is an exact prototype of the land,
customs. laws and in every respect,
from which 1t Is drawn.
Each company is a condensed COM
munity and Graves all the rights of its
civil antecedent -
No democratic institution would rest
easy until it has democratic laws. Why
expect the army to be an exception?

CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP AND DRINK.
By Bishop Lawrence.

Before the diocesan convention Of the Trinity
Church, Boston, April %, Bishop Lawrence
after quoting the report of the commission to
investigate drunkenness in Massachusetts,, add
cd these ringing words:
"Can any citizen of this commonwealth,
much less any member of Christi church listen
to such an indictment and hear the sobs of
women and children without start of alarm,
of remorse, of questioning, What am / doing ?
What can / do!'
Il. The time has passed when any intelligent
person claims that drink makes a man more
efficient more able, better soldier or sailor,
a better athlete, a better anything, unless it be
for the time a boon companion. Industrial eff
|ficiency is driving the drinking man, even the
rather moderate drinking man, to the wall.
90 Drink, and that not to excess but ha-
bitual, gradually disintegrates the physical,
nerve and moral fibre; the resisting power,
whether against disease or temptation weak
ems, and what is more tragic, the sons and
daughters reveal the fathers rather loose
habits of cocktails, champagne and whisky in
weakened bodies and more or less degenerate
systems. Of course there are apparent exeep-
tions, but the general facts stand and the excep-
tions are more apparent than real.
''3. Every public spirited citizen, every par
ent, every man and woman who cares for his
fellowmen and women, every son and daughter
of the Church of Christ will have this terrible
scourge of society of which he is a part upon
his conscience, and will in his personal habits
and his public duty govern himself according
ly."

1870 AND 1914

Forty-four years ago tomorrow the German
army invading France was established al
Meaux On September z of this year the Ger.
mans were again at Meaux and in the midst
of the fighting that has now apparently turned
against them.
German headquarters were established at
Meaux on September 16, 1870, and the orders
issued for the investment of Paris. These or
ders directed the German army of the Meuse to
invest the capital in wide circle from the
Marine, above Paris, to the Seine below it, while
the third army was ordered to form a similar
half circle on the left bank of both rivers.
The orders also specified that in case of any
attempt to relieve the capital the army was to
allow the relieving force to approach within a
short distance, and then, leaving the invest
ment to be maintained by weak details, to strike
the enemy with its main body.
But today IS battling isunder conditions quite
different from those that brought Germany
such tremendous victory in the last century
The German advance to Meaux in the war of
1870 came after fateful Sedan, where Napoleon
III surrendered and the back of French re-
sistance was broken. Then the Germans swept
everything before them on the road to Paris
and arrived at Meaux solid, confident, I'M
wearied
In the present war they have been fighting
every inch of the way from the Belgian border.
Every foot's advance since the first attack on
Liege has been over soil drencehd with the
blood of Teuton and Ally The Allied armies
offered an elastic opposition to the Germans
that stiffened as the latter advanced, until there
came a point when German exhaustion and Al
lied resistance equalized the contending forces.
The fight then wavered for two or three days
.al1 now apparently the Germans are suffering
severelyas they retire.
In the. confusion Of absolutely conflicting
claims from Paris and Berlin, not to mention
London and st. Petersburg or Petrograd-it
is impossible to speak with certainty of a Ger
man retreat or a victory for the Allies. If as
the official press bureaus of the Allies claim,
the German retreat is as disastrous as that of
the great Napoleon from Moscow, it has come
only after Germany had astonished the world
with her brilliantly martial advance, almost
incredible discipline and morale and a gallantry
that will never be forgotten.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION WORK GROWS

How universities and colleges, both public
and private, in every state in the Union, are
reaching with instruction not only students who
come for the regular college course, but also
thousands of other men and women eager for
educational opportunities, is described in bull
letin on University Extension in the United
States, = published by the bureau of education.
Dean L. K. Reber, director of the extension de-
partment of the University of Wisconsin and a
leader IN the movement to make the university
serve the state, is the compiler of the bureau s
bulletin on the subject.
Dean Reber shows that, while elements of
university extension work appear as early as
81 II the United States, the real beginning of
.| movement was in 1887, and its most rapid
.|e'opment has taken place in the last half
dozen years
IA 1891 % states and territories reported uni
|Isify extension in some form. Between 1892
md 1906 II institutions organized extension
aching, mainly in agriculture, and since 1906
-s universities and colleges have introduced the
work, while q others have reorganized their
extension work on basis Of separate divisions
