In response to a call issuedby

by the election Of p. B. Carter as

secretary.
After a short talk by the chair
man Hon. D. R. Johnson was
called upon to state the facts in
the case and suggest Il possible
remedy: Mr.. Johnson stated
that under a recent ruling the
Supreme court declared any drink

had to issue a license when this
firm wishing to operate rendered
$50 for a half years license

had legal right to operate the
citizens held a stronger right i'll

was that the citizens as a whole

interest in the domestic science classes
in the schools Of the city, has offered
a Stewart gas range to be presented
to some young woman in the schools of
the city. The contest for it is open

branch in the evening school. In or
der to eliminate the students of
one of these departments, examinations

held. The member of the winning
group who attains the highest scholar
ship mark will be declared the winner

the cash value of the range the com
pany will be ready to give it. The con-
test promises to be a spirited one.

SERVE FORMAL NOTICE TODAY
Big Territory to the South of City Asks
Annexation to the City School Dis
trict from the Members of the
County Board of Education.

More territory from the town of
Pleasant Prairie is seeking to be added
to the school districts of the City
of Kenosha and this morning Raymond
Powell, secretary of the County Board
of Education, served formal notice on
the city officials that the county board
had received a petition from many
electors and property owners in the
Lamb school neighborhood asking that
a part OF the territory now in this dis
trict be added to the city school dis
tricts. 1t is said that the petition is
signed b.. a large majority of the school
patrons. to be directly affected by the
proposed change in districts. The terri
tory which is asking to be added to the
city district is bounded on the south By
Selma avenue, on the east by the lake,
on the west by Rowland avenue and on
the north by the present school district.
1t contains 65 children of school age.
Many of these children are now being
educated at the Lamb school, but a few
of them are tuition pupils at the schools
in the city. The county board of edu-
cation has asked that joint meeting of :
the city council and the board of edu-
cation be called to act on the petition.
The addition Of this territory to the
city school districts will greatly en-
phasize the need of the proposed build
ing on Collins street. At the present
tifi1e finer. ar 20S children in the Lamb
school district and with the change in
the lines there would still remain 143
children to attend school at the Lamb
school, 1t is declared that this number
is as many can be properly accommo-
dated at the school. There is little
doubt but what the council and the
petition, as the lines proposed for the
new school district follow closely the
limits Of the city. The territory is now
all taxable property IN the city and the
property owners hold that the school
management should properly be under
the direction of the city school board.
Following the meeting on Saturday
the county board of education has sent
notices to people to the west of the old
city limits that their petition for a
change in school district lines will be
granted by the board. The city school
district lines will DE immedi tely
pushed west to the Rategan road and
with the opening of new school year
the children in the big territory re-
Gently annexed to thecity will have the
right to attend the schools of the city.
It is probable that the city board of ed
auction will make come arrangements
to haze some of these children taken
care of as tuition pupils at the Hannah
school.

BUNK FROM RACINE.
Kenosha Officials Go to South Milwau-
kee Seeking Horse Thieves.

Last Saturday night thirty-one men
were sheltered in the Wisconsin street
tramp house. The majority Of these in
dividuals were tramps, that class Of
citizens who travel from one place to
another, refuse to work and beg from
house to house.
One of this number was arrested by
the Kenosha police. He told Chief of
Police O'Hare and the sheriff of the
county that while he was resting his
weary bones on the soft side of a
plank in the Racine tramp house he
heard two Germans talking in their
native tongue, that they discussed the
stealing of a horso in Kenosha and
that they had the animal in a barn
somewhere in this city.
The Kenosha officers requested Chief
Of Police Baker to investigate. Detec-
tives Yanny and Schumacher were de-
tailed on the case. At the tramp house
John, the keeper, said it was true, that
thirty-one men lodged there Saturday
night, but he could not recall the two
Germans
Every policeman in the city was in
structed to inquire in the vicinity Of
their beats. if a strange horse had
been left in any of the barns. No
trace Of horse could be found or Of
the two Germans who had slept in
the tramp house The "bum" under
arrest at Kenosha probably gave the
Southport officers a little bunk. =
Racine Journal-News.
Sheriff Stahl and Chief of Police
O'Hare admit that they went as far as
South Milwaukee following the story
of the Racine tramp house inmates.
