PROMINENT PEOPLE TO ASSIST
Committee Is Named to Have Charge of
Work Here Pending Formal Organic
alton Of Branch in City Some Time
in February.-Work Is Important.

Kenosha is to have chapter of the
American Social Hygiene Association
in the near future if plans now under
way materialize. Walter Clarke, Of
Chicago, field secretary of the Central
Division of the National Association,
has taken up the work Of forming an
organization in Kenosha and he has
appointed committee to have charge
of the work in this city pending
full organization. The committee is
composed Of Judge Clifford E. Randall
of the municipal court; DR.. John j.
McShane, secretary of the Kenosha
board of health; Mrs. Mary D. Brad
ford, superintendent of the schools of
the city; DR.. G. Windesheim, president
of the board Of health; Alfred L.
Drury, district attorney; G. G. Brown,
president Of the First National Bank;
Ell. B. Robinson, president Of the Mer-
chants and Savings Bank, and Hugh
E. Barden, president of the Associat-
ed Charities of Kenosha.
All of these people have received
letters from Field Organizer Clarke,
asking them 30 give their aid to the
formation of a branch of the organiza-
tion in Kenosha and Mr.. Clarke has
announced that he will come to Keno
sha some time in February with view
OF addressing a public meeting and lay
before the people of the city at this
time the plans of the organization and
seek to show the need of branch in
Kenosha. Some of the most noted
social workers of the nation are con-
nected with the organization. Charles
w. Eliot, President Emeritus of Har-
ward University is president of the
national organization, and prominent
among the officials are David Starr
Jordan, Bishop Walter. T. Sumner, Miss
Jane Adams, James, Cardinal Gibbons,
Henry James, Jr., Mrs. Raymond Rob
bins and William Freeman Snow.
The work that is proposed to be
done by the association is outlined in
part in an interview with DIR. Eliot,
which is made a part of the documents
sent to Kenosha. In this he says:
1.-THE interest of many thinking peo-
pie in the subject of eugenics is close
ly allied to interest in sex hygiene;
but zeal for wise breeding is apparent
lly leading to some hasty or ill-consider-
ed legislation. The existing legislation to
limit selection in marriage is evidence
of a wise recognition of the dangers in
continuing stocks burdened with in
heritable weaknesses, and is so far
welcome; but not all the proposed pro-
hibitions can be justified by biological
science at its present stage. The edu-
Gated publis have much to learn with

No Order for Sale of Plant Issued Fol.
lowing Meeting of Creditors Today
Adjourned Meeting Called for feD-
ruary 3rd for Final Action.

No order for the sale of the plant
of the United Refrigerator Company
was handed down by Referee in Bank
ruptcy Milton H. Knoblock following
the adjourned session of the creditors
of the company held in Racine today
and no order will be handed down un-
til after an adjourned meeting of the
creditors set for February 3rd.
The creditors this morning demand
ed more information in regard to the
dealings of the company and it's Of
ficials with the Commercial and Saw
ings Bank of Racine and with Charles
Carpenter, a former official of that
bank. 1t has been repeatedly said that
the long line of credit extended by the
bank to the Kenosha company was
largely responsible for the failure
of the bank and the creditors of the
refrigerator company seem to be anxi-
Gus to see to Just what extent the deal
ings of President Nelson with Carpen-
ter and the Racine bank were inter-
woven with the troubles of the com
have been making an examination of
the books of the bankrupt company
were instructed to return to Kenosha
and make special examinations Of the
books as they related to dealings be-
tween President Nelson, the Racine
bank, and Charles Carpenter. 1t will
require two weeks to make these in,
vestigatiOns.
Many of the creditors were present
in person at the meeting today and
they seemed to be anxious to have the
fullest examination of the business of
the bankrupt company. No suggestion
of payment of a dividend to the credi-
tors has as yet been made and it is
not probable that there will be any
made until after the full facts in re-
gard to the dealings between the COM
pany and the Racine bank and Racine
fnanciers have been made public.
Several people have already been
making Investigations of the plant in
Kenosha and it is declared that the
bidding for it will be spirited when it
is ordered sold. There is little prob
ability that this sale will take place
before some time in March as it will
take full month for the creditors to
complete their examination of the
bankrupt.
The trustee in charge Of the prop
erty has had caerful inventory made
of all property of the company and it
is said that the value of this property
will be considerable more than was at
first anticipated.

WIFE CHARGES CRUELTY.
Minnie Whitley Christensen Asks Di-

Minnie Whiteley Christensen Asks Di-
vorce from Husband, Nels Christensen.
In the municipal court this morning
Mrs. Minnie Whiteley Christensen, well
known young matron of the town OF
Pleasant Prairie, through her attorney,
George W. Taylor, instituted suit for
divorce from her husband, Nels Christ
ensen. In the complaint Mrs. Christen-
sen alleges that she and Christensen
were married at Crown Point, Ind, on
November Z, 1907, and that since their
marriage they had resided in Kenosha
county. There was no issue as a re-
suit of the marriage. Mrs. Christensen
charges extreme cruelty. She alleges
that her husband deserted her in June
of 1914 and came to Kenosha and drew
from bank here their savings amount
ing to s., 900 and that with this money
he went to Chicago. She received
letter from him two days later but
since that time has neither heard from
him or seen him. Christensen is sup
posed to be n Chicago. The case will
heard at the next term of the munich
pal court.

BIG CORPORATIONS HOLD BACK
Council Takes No Steps to Extend Time
for Payment Of Taxes and Percent
Penalty May Be Charged After Mon
day-Incone Taxes Come Slowly.

Money may be tight in Kenosha, but
in the past two weeks more than one
hundred thousand dollars has dribbled
over the counter at the office of the
city treasurer in payment of 1915
taxes. At that the amount collected
this year is not as large as was col
lected in 1914 at the same date. The
reason for this is that large number
of the "big tax payers in the city
are holding back and none Of these
people have come across with che
annual assessments made against them
by the city, The big corporations have
for the most part declared their inten
tion of waiting for the last day under
the law for the payment of the taxes
and the money that has been collected
SO far has come largely from the poe
kets of the owners of small properties
in Kenosha Income taxes are also
coming in decidedly slowly and the
treasurer has already started to send
out cards to stimulate the payment of
these taxes.
Under the state law the last day for
the payment of taxes will be a week
from next Monday and at the last
meeting of the common council no ac-
tion was taken to extend the time for
payment. No action can now be taken
legally. Under the law after the last
Monday in January the treasurer must
add two per cent to the amount col
lected from tax payers. In other years
the city has made possible the extern
sion of the time, but the matter was
overlooked this year. Of course it is
possible that the matter may be taken
up at the next meeting of the council,
but people who wait to pay the taxes
after week from Monday will be in
danger of being forced to pay the
added two per cent. The city council
has no right to release people from the
penalty which may be collected for
non-payment of the income tax. The
new plan of sending out tax bills
has been indicated and it has proved
a great convenience TO the people Of
the city. The plaa las caused no con-
fusion as nearly every tax payer has
appeared at the Office of the treasurer
bringing his tax bill with him.
"The taxes are not coming in as
rapidly this year as they did last
year, said Treasurer Sseinmetz this
morning, "but the men who pay only
small amounts are being q lot more
prompt than before. This is probably
due to the bills being sent out. The
people seem to like this plan for the
collection of the tax aud it saves a
lot Of trips to the office Of the treasur-
er. 1t looks now as If there would be

Darnell promised his father and Case
he would marry Ruth Soper and go to

Members of the congregation which
Darnell abandoned in Kenosha when

CUPID WORKS IN OLD AGE.
Peter Leickem and Mary Pohlman,
Both Over rs, Married on Tuesday.

Evidently there is no age limit set
by Cupid. This is shown by the fact
that on Tuesday afternoon in Chicago,
Peter Leickem, q Kenosha man, who
admitted that he had seen seventy-five
winters and just as many summers, was
licensed to marry Mary Pohlman,
whose age was given at two years over
the four score mark. The city direc-
tory proclaims that Leickem resides at
$50 Grover street. People in the neigh
borhood declared that they knew moth
ing of the marriage n Chicago. The
name of the eighty-two year old bride
does not appear in the Kenosha direc-
tory. 1t is probable that Mr. and Mrs.
Leickem viii be back in Kenosha with
in a few days and they viii reside at
the home of the groom on Grover st.
