SHOWS NO BITTERNESS IN TALK
Sister Marie Ignatins o'Kavanagh of
Louvain Tells Kenosha People of
How Belgian People Suffer as limo
cent Victims of the War in Europe.

Sister Marie Ignatius 'Kavanagh.
member of the Daughters of Mary at
Louvain, Belgium, told wonderful
story of the opening months of the war
in Europe at the Guild Hall on Wednes-
day evening when she spoke before a
small company of Kenosha people, Tt
Is to be regretted that greater num-
Der of Kenosha people could not have
seen their way clear to hear this lee
ture. While true resident of Belgium
and deep believer in the fact that
Belgium has been wronged beyond the
statement of human lips, Sister Marie
lgnatius spoke without bitterness. She
told of the terrible suffering of the
people of Belgium in a dignifed man
ner without making her recital sensa-
tional in any way and in wonderfully
modulated English she appealed for the
women and children of her stricken
home country. She gave many side
lights on the invasion of Belgium by
the hordes of the Germans but refrain
ed from bitter arraignment of the in
vading armies and drew from her per-
sonal experiences to tell Of kindness
which had been shown to her personally
by the individual members of the Ger
man army The lecture by Sister Marie
Ignatius showed that the cause of Bel
GUM is one of the most worthy which
ever called for charity from an en-
ightened world. She showed that the
people of Belgium were making every
possible effort to aid themselves in
feeding the starving and caring for the
widows and orphans left by war
which had been forced upon an un-
willing people but she declared that
there were many people who with the
greatest possible industry could not
provide for their support through the
coming winter months. Her word pie
ture of the suffering of the older peo-
pie, many of whom are women brought
tears to the eyes of her hearers.
The lecture was in no way relig-
ious or sectarian lecture. 1t was an
appeal to that humanity that knows no

sion. They plan to remain in this conn

TAUGHT SCHOOL HALF CENTURY
Was Teacher of the Eighth Grade in
Old Kenosha Schools and Many For
mer Pupils Pay Tribute to her Mem
ory-Long a Teacher in Chicago.

Kate Hannah, pioneer teacher of
the schools of Kenosha, died at the
home of her brother, John Hannah, in
the town of Somers late Wednesday
afternoon following long illness from
dropsy. The announcement of her
death today brought sorrow into many
homes in Kenosha as among all of the
teachers who have served in the
schools of the city it is probable that
none left so great an impression on
the minds and lives of the pupils as did
Kate Hannah. She was seventy-two
years Of age and more than fifty years
of her life had been dedicated to the
cause of education. She was one of
the women of Kenosha county who had
found her highest pleasure in the work
of the schools She had been a CON
temporary of the late Anna Gillett and
like Miss Gillett had given much
service to the schools of both Kenosha
and Chicago. Men who are prominent
in the life of Kenosha today recalled
the days when Kate Hannah taught in
the old grade school Of Kenosha. They
paid highest possible tributes to her
as teacher and as a woman.
Catherine Hannah was a daughter
of the late John Hannah, one of the
earliest of the pioneer residents of the
town of Somers. She was born at the
old Hannah homestead on the Plank
Rad Norop,bar Tx 1910 Gu r,oa
educated in the schools of Kenosha
county and she began teaching in girl
hood. Her first school was in the old
McCarron district near the village Of
Russell, but her ability as a teacher
was early recognized and she came to
Kenosha and began her work in the
city in the old north side school, Many
men and women Of that section of the
city were her pupils in those earlier
days of the city schools. She con-
tinued to teach in the schools of Keno
sha for more than ten years when she
was called to Chicago and joined the
teaching force of the Chicago schools.
She had made her home with her sis
ter, Miss Mary Hannah, in Oak Park
and the two sisters were both engaged
as teachers. For more than forty
years she continued in service in
Chicago. Three years ago when she
was teaching at the Hayes school
she was forced to accept a place on
the retirement list on account of i'll
health She returned to the old home
last April following the death Of Mrs.
John Hannah and while she had been
in feeble health since her return to the
old home she had entertained many
of the men and women who had been
her former students
She was woman of great force of
character and she impressed her own
character strongly on her students.
Always in close touch with the adj
vancement Of her profession at the
time of her retirement from active
labor she was declared to be one of the
most valuable teachers in all the great
teaching force of the schools of Chi
cago. To those who had known Miss
Hannah personally she was a delight
full companion and friend
Hei sister, Miss Mary Hannah, with
whom she had spent much Of her life,
was with her when death came.

Mrs. Margaret Johannes, mother,
grandmother, a at-grand-mother and
great-great- grandmother, recently
celebrated her eighty-frst birthday
and on Thursday evening a large num-
Der of her friends gave her surprise
at her home on Bronson street. Mrs.
Johannes is probably the only woman
in Kenosha and few of the women in
the country who have lived to see the
fifth generation of her descendants.
Mrs. Johannes is still hale and hearty
and takes great interest in life and
in Kenosha. She has forty-two great
grand children, thirty-one of whom are
living in Kenosha and the other eleven
are living in Oregon. To be at the head
of such family of descendants is an
honor claimed by no other Kenosha
county woman. Mrs. Johannes is re-
firing in her disposition and vet she is
proud of the fact that she has been
permitted to live to see her great
great grand-child.

SAYS WOMAN 'pEsTERED' HIM
Petracci Was Sent Up for Three-year
Term After He Had Slightly Wound
ed Mrs. Frank Blast and Has Been
Confined for More Than Year.

Mrs. Adelina Petracci Of Kenosha,
has filed petition with Governor
Emanuel L. Philip asking that her
husband, Dominick Petracci, now serv-
ing term of three years in the state
prison at Waupun, following conviction
Of charges of assault, regardless of hui
man life, be pardoned. Petracci was
sentenced to prison by Judge Belden
in the circuit court on November 2,
1914. He had been charged with
shooting his mother-in-law Mrs. Frank
Blast. The victim of the shooting was
not severely injured and she had en-
tlrely recovered from her injuries be-
fore the trial of Petracci In the circuit
court. Previous to the shooting the
defendant had borne a good reputation
In her petition for pardon for her
husband, Mrs. Petracci asserts that
she and her little daughter are suffer
ing for want of necessities of life
She asserts that she has made an eff
fort, by working, to provide for herself
and child but that she has been unable
to secure money enough for such
support.
In seeking the release of her hus-
band the woman has laid bare the
family skeleton. She asserts that her
mother opposed her marriage to Pc
tracci and that on the very day that
the couple were married the mother
began to "make life miserable, for
them. She asserts that Mrs. Blast kept
on pesteringo Petracci and his wife
until the time of the shooting. The
wife alleges that by force and threats
Mrs. Blast forced her to leave the
home of her husband and to institute
an action for divorce against him on
some imaginary grounds She declares
that she never had any grounds for
such divorce, that Petracci had been
hard working man and a good pro
wider. The petition states further
that Mrs. Blast has entirely repentea
of her attitude toward Petracci and
that she is now willing and ready to
have him pardoned and returned to his
wife and daughter. 1t is said that
Petracci has been a model prisoner
since he was sent to the prison.
Petracci fed from Kenosha follow
ing the shooting of his mother-in-law
and he was later captured by Chief of
Police O'Hare while he was working
in lumber camp in the northern part
of the state. Petracci' s capture was
of the sensational nature and it was
thought that he would plead guilty to
the charges against him. However,
the case went to trial and the italian
made hard fight to show self defense.
The petition for the pardon will be
heard later in the month by Governor
Philip and with the wife and mother
in-law satisfied to have Petracci re-
leased it is not expected that the Of
fcials of the county will make any
opposition to the granting of the par
don. Previous to his arrest on a
charge of shooting Mrs. Blaisi Pc
tracci had been known as a hard work
ing man and he had never been in any
other trouble.

BRIDE ASKS AID OF POLICE
Heart Broken Girl Tells Police That
She Thinks Faithless Lover is in
Chicago. Declared to Know no Rea-
son for His Leaving.

A good looking Austrian girl with
just the suspicion of tear creeping
down her face told the police sad
story this morning. She came and ask
ed the department. to make an effort
to locate George SLENDER, an Austrian
twenty-five years of age, who disap-
peared from Kenosha some time last
Friday night. The girl was Frances
Plese, agen 10 and she resides at 322
Milwaukee avenue. Last Saturday was
to have been her wedding day and she
was happy in the belief that she was
to be the bride of the man who had
won her heart. She waited for him to
come for her Saturday morning. They
were going to the Austrian church for
the service and the license for the mar
rage had been issued by the county
clerk some time ago. SLENDER called
at the home of the girl on Thursday
evening and told her that he had com
pleted all arrangements for the mar
riage ceremony on Saturday morning.
He had arranged for the carriages and
for the dinner which was to have fol
lowed the little church ceremony. The
girl showed him all the pretty fnery
which she had purchased for the we'd
ding. 1t represented lot of sacrifice
to the young woman. She had worked
as lace maker and she gave up her
position ten days ago on account Of
bnr or h L
told the other girls of how happy she
was. This morning she appeared to be
utterly crushed IL don't know why
he went away" she told officer Logan.
He seemed to be anxious for the wed
ding and when had suggested that
we wait awhile until we could earn
more money he declared that he had
money enough to provide home for
us. He was over at the house Thurs
day night and then he seemed to be
anxious for the wedding. I waited
for him Saturday morning although
some of my friends told me that he
went away from Kenosha on friday
The deserted bride is a decidedly
comely young woman and she declared
her willingness to appear against her
faithless lover if he could be arrested
on any charge known to the laws of
the state. The police after carefully
examining the young woman told her
that it would be impossible for them to
arrest him and that it would be neces-
sary for her to get a lawyer and bring
an action against him for breach of
promise. The young woman left the
police Office declaring her determine
ton to take this step.
SLENDER who has lived in Kenosha
for many years is thought to be in
Chicago and if he returns to Kenosha
it is pretty certain that he will be
forced to make some sort Of settlement
with the young woman. His friends
assert that they can see no reason for
his strange actions and they think it
possible that he met with foul play
and on this account was unable to keep
his appointment at the church on Sat
urday.
