NAB BOY THIEVES.
Six Boys of Tender Age Charged With
Stealing Metal from Simmons Co.

The municipal court had something
of the appearance of a primary school
this morning when six boys, all of ten
der age, We're brought in charged with
stealing brass, cooper and iron from the
scrap heaps of the Simmons Manu-
featuring Company. 1t was declared
that the boys had got away with a con-
siderable amount of scrap metal"
during the past few days. The of
ficers sought to discover where the
metal had been sold and the actions
of junk dealer are being Investigate
ed. The case of the boys was not dis
posed of today. As several of the boys
had been connected with similar eases
in the past it is possible that Judge
Randall will insist that the law take
it's course and that the boys be sent to
one of the state institutions.

The whole subject of the employ
@lent Of men in the ice harvest in this
EsSate is to be investigated by the Wis
bconsin Industrial Commission as a re-
sult of the controversy with the Con-
tsumers Ice Company which originated
an this city and the report of the COM
mission is to be comprehensive one
covering the housing conditions of the
men, condition Of the boarding houses,
including the quantity and quality Of
the food furnished, the wage scales,
hours of employment, etc. Everything
affecting the men in this employment
is to be gone into thoroughly by the
commission end most Of the ice com
panies doing business in the state are
insistent that the public should reserve
judgment on the business as a whole
until they are able to pass on the facts
as they appear in the report of the
commission. 1t is probably too late to
make many changes this year, but it is
certain that the action of the state
authorities will make it impossible for
any company to continue to maintain
noxt year such conditions as were
found by the investigators of the state
health department on their last visit
to this county. Not only the people of
Kenosha county, but the people who
consume the ice harvested on the Ke-
nosha county lakes are much interested
in this rpnort ard thp Sta+a aCap+S
charged with the responsibility of
making this investigation should not
mince matters in their report or be
moved by promises of amendment to
whitewash anybody. A plain state
ncnt of facts is what is wanted.

ADVANTAGES DIssIPATED.

The national council of education of
the American Medical Association has
issued figures that country children are
from ten to twenty per cent less
healthy than city children. To the or
binary individual this viii come as
either great surprise or a startling
mistatement of fact. Students, how
ever, have been gradually convinced
that country people have failed to
take advantage of the naturally SUI
perior opportunities for health. Liv-
ing in the midst of fresh air, they
have shut it out of their homes. With
and abundance of most healthful raw
food products, they have failed to a
great extent to give to their prepara-
ton that attention which makes them
wholesome.

Two Italians Arrested Sat
urday Must Stand Trial
on a Serious Charge.
LOVE AND CRIME IN MIXTURE

One of the strangest stories of love
and crime ever told to the officials of
Kenosha county is being untangled by
District Attorney Drury in connection
with the relations of Emanuello Cap
pello, Nincenzo Cimino, Mary Cermin-
aria and Pasquale Rizzo. In the NUM-
cipal court today the district attorney
filed formal complaints demanding the
arrest of Cappello and Cimino on
charges of arson and this is only a
start in the development of the case.
Last Friday night it is declared that
the home of Mary Cerminaria on Pearl
street. was set on fire. It is alleged
that the cause of the fire was found in
the fact that the Cerminaria girl was
on Saturday to marry Pasquale Rizzo.
Cappello and Cimino were arrested
early Saturday morning and they have
since been in Jail. District Attorney
Drury in his Investigation of the case
met with carefully prepared alibies on
the part of Cappello, who is declared
to have been sleeping at the home Of
his sister at the time the fire was dis
covered at the Cerminaria home. Gil
mino has no such an alibi, but it is de-
clared by the district attorney that he
was the agent of Cappello.
Interesting in the investigation of
the case is letter alleged to have
been written by one of the men to
man at Gary, Indiana. This letter
sought to have the Gary Italian come
to Kenosha for the expressed purpose
of slashing q man. The man is al
legged to have been Rizzo who was mar
ried to Miss Cerminaria on last Satur-
day morning. Rizzo is small of statue
and the letter declares that the man
who was marked for the assault was
man easy to handle by the i'm
jorted thug. Ueither Cappello or
Cimino have made any statement in re-
gard TO the case. Since last Saturday
morning Cappello has been in the city
lookup while his alleged companion in
crime has been confined in cell at
the county Jail. Both men have re-
fused to make any statement to the
district attorney more than to declare
that they had no knowledge of the
fire at the Cerminaria home
Mr.. and Mrs. Rizzo are having their
honeymoon badly interrupted by re
peated calls to the Office of the district
attorney. It is expected that the two
men accused of arson will be brought
into the municipal court late this af-
ternoon and that a long adjournment
will be taken in order to make possible
the bringing of illnesses from other
cities. 1T S not improbable that
charges of conspiracy will be brought
against both of the men later.
Cappello is declared to have a police
record, but Cimino has not been known
to the police until his arrest in con-
| nection with this case.

The following from the Chicago
E-fIerald headed "Wlar Torn Wiscon-
sin, - may be the first intimation to
some Of the warriors at Madison that
they are not takens quite as seriously
as they appear to take themselves.
There will doubtless be awful battles
at the capitol this winter with many a
! pet theory falling by the wayside, but
out of it all there should come a gov
Iernment for this state that is quite
as efficient as any that we have had
for the past ten years or so and one
that can be administered for 2millions
Hess money. The Herald says:
The situation in Wisconsin makes
that in Mexico pale by comparison.
According to the latest reports from

Now theilegislative reference bureau
sis passing sleepless nights. Thorough
lily identified with the radical regime, it
lis a natural object of enmity to the
conservative forces that have gotten
gcontrol of the government. A great eff

Of course, the defeated faction will

George Ell. HerzOg Named as
Postmaster of Racine
by President Wilson.
kEAOSHA APPOINTMENT NEXT

Adviees from Washington Saturday
afternoon were to the effect that Presi-
dent Wilson had sent the name of
George Fl. Herzog of Racine, to the
United States senate in nomination for
postmaster of Racine, to succeed James
n. Pritchard, whose commission ex-
pired last Monday. The appointment
of Herzog is sure to be confirmed by
the senate and will end a political
tight which has waged in Racine ever
since the election of Woodrow Wilson
to the presidency of the United States.
just when Mr.. Pritchard will retire
from the postoffice is not known, but
it will no doubt be as soon as his sue
cessor receives his commission and in
spectors complete the work necessary
before transfer can be made. The
position pays a salary of $4,000 year
and is the most lucrative postmaster
ship in Wisconsin excepting that of
Milwaukee. The commission is for
a term of four years.
Mr.. Herzog in his candidacy for the
position of postmaster of Racine, had
strong support, not only in this city,
but throughout the state. He had the
support of Joseph E. Davies and John
A. Awkward, both of Madison, who
were in charge of the Wilson cam
paign in Wisconsin and who, as a re-
suit, are consulted by President Will
SON ON all federal appointments in this
state. Mr.. Herzog was one of the Will
son men in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Herzog has been an active work
er in politics of the democratic party
in the county and state for many years
and served on county, city and state
committees of the party.
1t is expected that the Kenosha ap-
pointment will be announced within
two weeks.

WANT MARY ANN LAW REPEALED
Kenosha County Solons Fail to Endorse
AL Resolutions From Other Counties
But Want Legislature to Use Good
Sense in Repeating Laws.

County Clerk Russell III. Jones this
morning forwarded to Gov. Emanuel
L. Philip and both houses of the legis-
latnre in session at Madison, copies of
the resolutions passed by the county
board of Kenosha. county at the Janu-
airy session relating to so-called freak
legislation. The resolutions were
presented at the closing session of the
board on last Saturday afternoon and
adopted without a dissenting vote.
The resolutions are supplementary to
similar resolutions passed by the board
early last November, copies of which
are already in the hands of the mem
bers of the legislature and the gov
ernor. The Kenosha solons did not
wax enthusiastic over any of the pro-
posed movements and they are mostly
interested in proper regulation of high
way laws and the repeal of the 'FMary
ANN election law. The text of the
resolutions passed by the county
board and forwarded to Madison today
is as follows:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of Kenosha County:
Gentlemen:--
We, your committee to whom was re-
ferred the resolution sent in by diff
ferent counties, respectfully report as
follows:
Copies of resolutions asking the leg
islature of this state now in session at
Madison, have been received by this
board asking for the repeal of the
county board of education law.
Memorials for the readjustment of
our present state aid highway law en-
bodied in resolutions, are in conformity
with resolutions passed by this board
at it's November session.
We are in harmony with the general
sentiment of the people of this state
for the repeal of unnecessary and com
pick laws.
We indorse the resolution asking for
the repeal of the so-called Mary Ann
law and that part that relates to the
enactment of law to provide that all
bills shall be introduced within the
first thirty days of the session of the
state legislature, except such as are
known as emergency bills and that all
appropriations for state institutions
shall be made by separate enactments.
We agree with the resolution asking
for the repeal of all laws creating COM
missions that deprive the people of
local self government and the resolu-
lions touching the game laws are in
harmony with ours passed at our No
vember session and we endorse that
part of the Winnebago county resolu-
tlon-that all automobiles of twenty
i've horse power or less, pay a license
fee of five dollars per year and twenty
five cents for each additional horse
power.
We recommend that a copy of this
resolution be sent to Governor Philip.
Assemblyman d. j. Vincent and Sena-
tor Chas. Everett.
Respectfully submitted,
VIM. Luke,
T. Fleming.

Attorney for Doris Vaughn
Darnell Investigates Life
of Darnell in Kenosha.
MAY GET WARRANT HERE LATER

The Rev. James Morrison Darnell.
who made his last public appearance in
Kenosha in the pulpit of the Henry M.
Simmons Memorial Church, will prob
ably make his next appearance here as
a defendant in the municipal court.
Telephone messages from Chicago to-
day declare that Doris Vaughn OAR
nell his Chicago bride, is coming to
Kenosha late this afternoon to have a
warrant issued for the arrest of the
minister charging a statutory charge.
The young woman planned to come to
Kenosha on Monday but there were so
many things to take up her time in
Chicago that she did not get away for
the fifty mile trip into Wisconsin and
it was stated that she would come
this afternoon.
Attorney Swanson of Chicago, who
is representing Mrs Darnell in the di-
vorce action, was in Kenosha on Mon
day afternoon, but he secured no war
rant for the arrest Of Darnell. He
made no application for a warrant to
the district attorney or to the clerk
of the municipal court. Swanson came
and went in mystery. He left a card
at the Office of the chief of police and
stated that he would return to see the
chief later in the evening, but he did
not return. It is supposed that Swan
son spent his time making quiet lit
tl9 investigation Of the conditions sur
rounding the life of Darnell and Mrs.
Ruth Soper Darnell in Kenosha with
view of using the facts in connection
with the divorce action brought by
the young Mrs. Darnell in Chicago.
Swanson was not at the former apart
ments of Darnell and his Investigations
seem to have been along lines of a
decidedly mysterious nature After
the return of Swanson to Chicago it
was reported that a warrant for the
Kenosha, but this was not the fact.
Swanson did not appear at the office
of the clerk of the municipal court or
at the Office of any court commissioner.
"I saw nothing of Swanson nor
heard nothing from him, said Dis
trict Attorney Drury, "and I do not
think it possible that he would get
warrant here without coming to see
me or making some arrangements with
MY Office for the prosecution of the
ease. 1t has been my understanding
that the Chicago officials were going to
take care of the Rev. Mr.. Da1nell
without any aid from this county.
We have heard nothing officially in re-
gard to the case and as Darnell is in
Chicago it looks to me as if that is the
place he should be tried. -
Attorney Swanson after his return
to Chicago declared that he had fled
formal complaint and that the war
rant would not be served until after
the hearing of the divorce action
brought by Doris Darnell, which was
to have been taken up in Chicago to-
day. It was said that the warrant
charged Darnell with adultery. Dur
ing his visit in Kenosha Swanson in
terviewed number of Kenosha people
seeking to find the feeling of Kenosha
people toward Darnel. He declared on
his return to Chicago that he found
that the feeling against the former
minister was bitter one.
