ONLY A HOAX.

1t has developed that the report of
an attempt being made to have the
Mississippi River Commission change
the levee lines, so that they will be
ESQ feet further back than at pres
ent, is more of hoax than anything
else. The representatives of the va
rious levee boards, parishes and in
dustrial concerns who went to St.
Louis to fight the plan learned that
there was no proposition of the kind
before the commission.
Armed with figures and other data
to show that the damage would be
great and that property owners would
suffer heavily as the result of such
a plan being put into execution these
representatives were prepared to
wage a determined fight against any
such movement and there was much
disappointment when they learned
that they had taken the trip for
naught. On the theory that where
there's fire" many are of the opinion
that the matter bears watching so
that the issue can be squarely met
should it arise.

A ONE MAN CAR.

The Algiers Railway and Lighting
Company are trying an innovation on
the Pacific Avenue line by operating
the car with one attendant, being the
motorman, who collects the fare and
operates the car.
For many years the electric cars in
Baton Rouge were operated in the
same way, the passengers entering by
the front platform depositing their
fare with the motorman, and they, be-
ing seated, leaving the car by the
rear platform.
Another change to go into effect by
the Car Company is the addition of
one car on the Amesville line during
the rush hours.

RECORD STOPS NATURALIZATION
Kenosha Man Denied Citizen Rights
Because of Penal Servitude.

The way of the transgressor is hard.
One Kenosha man found this out on
Monday when he appeared in the cir
cult court and asked that he be made
g citizen of the United States. He
passed good examination but when
the examiner began to dig into his past
history he found that he had served
eleven months in one of the penal in
stitutions of the state. The applica-
ton was promptly dismissed by the
court. The man shed tears as he left
the court room. He was advised that
after five years he might make new
application. 1t is declared that the
man is leading an exemplary life and
his name was not disclosed by the court
officials. This is the first case in this
county where a man had been denied
citizenship on account of penal servi-
tude. There were ffty-four names call
ed on the long list Monday of which
thirty-eight were granted second pap
ers, eleven were continued for further
education and seven were dismissed.
The dismissals were ordered in six
cases for lack Of prosecution or lack
of education

WOULD LIMIT COMPETITION.
Jitney Men Want Decision in Auto
for Hire Now Working in Kenosha.

Jitney owners in Kenosha are de-
handing a decision from the officials
as to the rights of Automobiles for
Hire. = Several of these have made
their appearance on the street. They
are not bonded carriers and signs on
them declare that s'This is not a. iit-
ney." The jitney men claim that the
owners of the automobiles are violat-
ing the spirit, if not the letter, of the
new state law to regulate the jitneys
as common carriers. On the other
hand the owners of the automobiles
hold that they are not operating over
any regular route and that they are
serving the people only on telephone
calls. In most cases the automobiles
for hire" charge considerable more
than the jitney buses. The owners of
these automobiles declare that they
are entitled to the same consideration
as any man who drives taxicab or a
hack. The question promises to make
some interesting reading Of the law by
the attorneys.

tied at the Home of Neighbors.

An unusual story of a missing child
developed on Monday afternoon when
the police We're asked to search for
Maggie Kutzs, the six year old daugh-
ter of Michel Kutzs, 165 North Pleas
ant street. The little girl left her
home last Friday to go to the home of
her grandmother and late Monday af-
ternoon her father found that she had
never arrived at the home Of her rela-
tives. Fears of kidnapping and injury
to the little girl caused great anxiety
and the police and friends of the
father of the child searched all over
the west side in hopes of finding some
trace of the little girl. Just about
seven o'clock while the search was at
its height the child came home and de-
clared that instead of going to the
home of her grandmother she had been
visiting with neighbor.

FIRST THINGS FIRST.
Kenosha Minister Speaks Before Y. M
@. A. Workers Conference in Racine.


Speaking on the subject Putting
First Things First, = the Rev. Peter F..
Stair, Pastor of the Park Avenue NJ. E..
church in Kenosha, was the feature of
a meeting Of the conference of direc-
tors and committee men of the Young
Men 5 Christian Association held In Ra-
cine on Monday afternoon. A number
of prominent Christian workers from
several Of the cities in the state attend
ed.
Speaking on putting First Things
First, Mr. Stair said in part: II
have been greatly impressed with the
earnestness with which the men have
presented the plans for the various
departments of the Z. M. G. A. work
for the coming season. You are in
big business. The Y. M. G. A. is the
right arm Of the church and I regret
that at the present time we are with
out this strong right arm in Kenosha
We are living in the greatest age
OF humon history, a crisis is on in
the upward movement Of the race.
The church is the one permanent or
ganization, the one institution that
will not pass away.
At this point Mr.. Stair recommended
very heartily the use of a book that
has made quite an impression on him,
Strayers' " Reconstruction of the
Church.
~ One of the encouraging things of
today is that social conscience de-
mands that men in places of power
shall consider humanity instead Of
wealth only
Mr.. Stair spoke Of some successful
men in business who are illustrating
this great truth They are not con-
sidering the men that are working for
them simply as machines, but they are
recognizing the human element and
helping to make the living conditions
of the employees all that they ought to
be.
Mr.. Stair stated that the United
States as a nation was in position
to render service such as never be-
fore. He recommended President Will
son for his desire and endeavor to put
first things first.
