R. Z. MEN ON DEVELOPMENT
Consider Wages and Means to Make
Omaha Bigger Town.
TO HELP COUNTRY NEAR BY

good open debate on the subject of
making Omaha property sell was held at
the Omaha Real Estate exchange meet
ing last Wednesday. Publicity. pub
licfty," was the cry OF some.
w. II. Green wanted a memorial drawn
to Edawrd Cudahy asking him to move
headquarters of the Cudahy Packing
plant back to Omaha.
Some wanted more manufactures. Some
wanted to offer bonus money for fac
tories.
Frank H. Meyers suggested that the
thing to do is to continue to cooperate
in the development of the agricultural
community that surrounds Omaha, and
that he was sure the rest would come
normally. I'VE do too much talking of
plating and selling city lots That don't
make a city he said. There is enough
plated now for the population of the
city. What we need is to help the agri-
cultural territory tributary to develop
to it's fullest possibilities, and property
in the city will have it's value and can't
help IL
Corn Belt DEVELOPING.
LAST week one day there were 953
That was 100 carloads more than ever
before In a single day. Why? Because
the surrounding agricultural belt is de-
veloping. the stock Is being raised and
this is a good market for it.
III you'll do more to develop the sur
rounding country you wont need to send
testimonials to Ed Cudahy or anybody
else"
He then told of an address he had re-
Gently heard at a convention when a
talented woman gave an account of the
situation in the cotton belt in the south.
-Those cotton planters raised a lot of
cotton" the woman had said, "and then
paid SIS and 500 ton for hay to feed
their stock through the winter. They
raised no hay of their own and yet they
had the hardest Job in the world to keep
from raising hay. Grass wanted to grow
everywhere and they worked like dogs
to kill the hay, and raise cotton to get
money to buy hay"
To Develop Manufacture.
William Stull declared that manufac-
ture is not developed in Omaha as it
should be for city that has such ready
access to the raw material. Not
quarter of the wheat is milled here that
is milled in Salina, Kan.," he said.
Someone spoke of introducing more
dairy cows to this region. Well. dairy
COWS need certain amount of bran
Would it be common sense for him to
pay freight charges from Minneapolis
on bran made from wheat that was
originally grown right here at his door
in Omaha. There should be mills enough
here to mill the wheat of Nebraska"

IN HEART OF FLOOD DISTRICT.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hirt Well Known
in Kenosha are in Erie, Pa.

The big flood at Erie, Pa, which has
resulted in great loss of life and prop
erty, caused unusual interest in Keno
sha today on account of the fact that
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hirt and their
three daughters all well known in
Kenosha are living right in the heart
of the submerged district. Mrs. Hirt
is sister of Captain E. G. Timme,
former secretary of state and Henry
H. Timme, general superintendent of
the Kenosha Electric Railway The
two brothers have been making efforts
during the day to get some kilograms
through to their sister, but up to a
late hour his afternoon they had re-
ceived no answer to them. Mrs. Hirt
has visited in Kenosha on many oeca-
sions.

BONDS ARE REDUCED.
New Jitney Bill Reduces Bonds and
Eliminates Fixed Routes for Jitneys.

Senator Frank Hanson has prepared
an amendment to, the jitney bill.
While other amendments may be of
fered, it is believed this is the one
that will pass as it meets the views
of Gov. Philip with the least changes.
The amendment provides that jitneys
shall make SO many trips without
holding them to exact time schedule,
thereby meeting the first objection of
the governor. The bond for single
injury is cut from $4,000 to $1,000 and
the $4,000 bond is cut to $4,000. This
meets the second objection Of the gov
ernor. The amendment provides that
the letters Of words Bonded Carrier
shall be two inches in height instead
of four inches This amendment will
come up in the senate today.

HELD UNDER BONDS OF $500
Young Man Asserts That Charges
Brought by His Partner. L. E.
Grotski, Are Without Foundation but
He Is Unable to Produce Cash.

Arthur Petersen, not vet twenty
years of age, was arrested on Tuesday
afternoon on charges of embezzlement
and he is held at the county jail in
default of bonds of $1,000 to insure
his appearance at an adjourned hearing
of the case set for August 18th.
Petersen is the partner of L. E. Grotski
in the meat market business in a room
on North Main street and the com
plant on which the warrant for the
arrest was issued was signed by
Grotski who charges his partner with
converting to his own use funds to the
amount of $50. Petersen when
brought into court strongly protested
his innocence, but he insisted that he
could not make any explanation of the
fact that large sum of money alleg-
ed to have been taken in by the com
paEy was missing.
Grotski and Petersen formed their
partnership some six weeks ago.
Grotski is in charge of market over
on the west side and he put Petersen

triet attorney and Petersen was ar
rested on Tuesday. The cash register
slips from the market indicate that in
the six weeks the company had done 3
business TO the amount of more than
eight hundred dollars and only a part
Of the expenses of the market had
been paid. Grotski alleges that Peter
sen was in complete charge of the
market and that he was accustomed to
take the cash home with him when he
closed the market at night The books
of the partnership were turned over to
the district attorney Tuesday afternoon
and Attorney Drury and Petersen
made an examination of them. While
stoutly declaring that he had not APP
propriated the money he was unable to
explain the disappearance of the cash.
Petersen has been at the market early
and late and it has been impossible for
the officers investigating the case to
discover where he has spent so large q
sum of money. Petersen seems to be
able to make no reconciliation of his
books and lack Of cash.
The young business man has never
been in trouble before and his arrest
on so serious charge came as a con-
siderable Of surprise to his friends.
" What we want to know" said the
district attorney, els what became of
the money. Petersen may not be
guilty of embezzlement, but he can
not produce the cash."
1t is probable that a lot more facts
in regard to the alleged conversion of
funds will be brought out at the adj
journed hearing Of the case.

Father Heller, Formerly of
Bristol, Lays Corner for
Church at Fond du Lac.
BUILDER IN COUNTY

The Rev. J. T. Heller, formerly pas
tor of the church at Bristol and Paris,
and known among Kenosha Catholics
as a builder of churches, has already
added another church to his record as
on last Saturday the corner stone of
the new Church of the Presentation
was laid at North Fond du Lac with
impressive ceremonies. Father Heller
had the honor of laying the stone of
the splendid church to be built by his
new parish and the archbishop of the
diocese preached the sermon The new
church will cost $4,000 and it will
be one of the finest Catholic churches
in any Of the smaller cities of Wiscon-
sin. A number of the members of the
clergy from this county went to
North Fond du Lac to attend the
laying of the stone.
Father Heller, present pastor of the
Church of the Presentation at North
Fond du Lac, went to the village
March 8, 1915, as the successor to the
Rev. Condor.
Father Heller is widely known
throughout the state as the "builder
of churches" for during the past ten
years, four Catholic edifces have been
erected under his direction. While at
Bristol, he raised funds to remodel the
parish church and build new parson-
age. While pastor of the Catholic
church at Wilmot he brought about the
erection of two churches. The new
edifce which was completed number
of years ago in that village, replaced
the old church which was built by
Father Heller five years previous
and which burned.
During the few months that Father
Heller has been pastor of the Church
of the Presentation in Fond du Lac he
has worked for both the church and
the congregation. He has systemized
the workings of the church and has
taught his congregation the signif-
canoe Of having unity, both religious
and social, throughout the parish.
If Father Heller's plans are realiz-
ed, the old church will be remodeled
into a paroehial school. He estimates
that in the one hundred and fifty
families now in the congregation there
are about seventy children who would
be able to attend. This change, if it
is effected, will not be made for some
time after the dedication of the new
church.

SOLD WITHOUT LICENSE.
Man Charged With Selling Wine
Without License Pleads Not Guilty.

John Mocnik, foreigner, was
brought into the municipal court this
morning charged with selling liquor
without a license at a place on Middle
street. 1t was alleged that he had
sold considerable quantity Of wine.
A search warrant was issued for the
place after Mocnik had entered a
plea Of not guilty to the charges and
the further hearing of the case was
continued until August 10th. It is de-
clared by the officials that there has
been considerable traffic in wines
among foreigners in the city and the
arrest of Mocnik was the first step
toward breaking up this traffic. 1t is
declared that other arrests on the
same charge are to follow.

Chief of Police O'Hare Imi-
tates Jimmy Mcintyre In
Seeking Moose Funds.
HAVE BILL AGAINST CARNIVAL

Jimmy Mcintyre, the Kenosha come
dian, was the discoverer of the Ham
Tree" and with the able assistance of
his partner Heath, he managed to
shake many golden sheckels off the
aforesaid Ham Tree. Chief of Police
Owen O'Hare, in imitation Of Jimmy
Mcintyre, went over to DeKalb, Ill,
this afternoon to make an effort to do
the Mcintyre trick Of shaking the
Ham Tree and he expects as result to
bring home to Kenosha the profits of
the carnival held ON the west side dur
ing the past week.
The success of Mcintyre and Heath
around the Ham Tree had brought this
new sort of verdure into prominence
as carnival attraction and when the
carnival was held here last week one
of the attractions to get nickels out
of the pockets Of Kenosha people was
Ham Tree. Tt did not have all the
musical trimmings Of the Ham Tree
which had won fortune for Mcintyre
and Heath, but it had some real old
fashioned stockyards hams on it and
with the cost of living mounting high
err lot Of Kenosha people found them
selves more willing to buy paddle on
rattle with ham as the prize than
to gamble on the other wheels with a
baby doll or stuffed dog as the real
trophy. AS a result the Ham Tree
did business, but A. R. Morehouse, who
headed the Moose committee in charge
of the carnival, claims that there must
have been a secret bag into which the
nickels dropped and he alleges that
there was some considerable amount of
profit due the Moose that failed to
reach the treasurer. Hence the trip
of Chief. O Hare. The chief had with
him bill of $5462 which the Moose
claim is due from the Ham Tree opera
tor and the chief has orders to either
get the money or bring the Ham
TreeD to Kenosha and set it up in
front of the city hall In Market Square
The proprietor of the concession is
alleged to have taken the stand in
which the Ham Tree had been set up
and bill for the stand and also for
some of the hams, which hung grace
fully on the limbs, has been sent to
the Moose to pay.
The carnival ITSELF was not real
producer of funds for the local people
interested according to the report made
by Mr.. Morehouse. He states that the
total amount received so far was a lit
tie over $4,000 and that $235.00 of
this amount was secured by disposing
of an automobile. In fact the profits
to the Moose on the carnival are large
ly dependent on the success of the
chief of police in pulling down and
shaking the lucious branches of the
Ham Tree"
He may not be nearly as successful
as Jimmy Mcintyre was in the past,
but it is the one best bet that Chief
O'Hare will return with the $54.62.

CITY MAY PAY TUITION LATER
Schools Are Not Expected to BE Large
Enough to Take Care of All the Chill
dren and Some May Be Sent to Lamb
and Hannah Schools.

With the opening of the city schools
for the new year only month away
school officials have begun to consider
the problem of taking care of the
children who are to flock to the vari-
Gus buildings the first week in Sep
tember. Since the schools closed, as q
result of changing in school district
lines by the county board Of education,
with the consent Of the city council,
many blocks of territory have been
added to the city school districts.
At the present time all property with
In the corporate limits Of the city of
Kenosha is part of the Kenosha city
school system. The children in the ter
ritory which has been recently added
to the city districts all have right
to claim educational privileges in the
city schools. There will be undoubted-
ly large increase in the number
of pupils at the Durkee, Columbus and
Balm schools and smaller increase at
the north side schools. All of these
schools were filed to their capacity
last year and yet there must be room
made for more children The building
of the Collins school will in no way
relieve the congestion for the coming
year as it is certain that this school
will not be ready for the reception of
the children until late in the new
sohool We beftse the@arcniIg of
The 1916 school year.
The addition Of this territory to the
city district will undoubtedly make
some difference in the amount Of tut
tion to be paid to the city school board
during the coming year by grade
pupils and it may be necessary for the
city to pay school tuition to the towns
of Pleasant Prairie and Somers. 1t is
possible that the city board will be
able to find accommodations for a few
pupils at the Lamb school in Pleasant
Prairie and in the Hannah school in
the town Of Somers. Both Of these
buildings are very close to the city
line and both of them have offered
school advantages to children who
have recently been brought into the
city. 1t is possible that the parents
Of few of these children will be will
ing to have the children continue in
these schools on account of the fact
that they are located near homes of
the parents.
Some advantage is to be gained
from the opening of the College Of
Commerce as a city commercial school
and it is expected that every one Of
the commercial classes which have
been in the high school will be remov-
ed to the building on Ashland avenue
and this will leave room for extension
of other work in the high school.
No announcement has been made of
changes in school building districts
and it is probable that Superintendent
Bradford and the officials of the board
will hold this matter open until after
the school term opens so that it will
be shown just what is needed for the
proper placing of the pupils. 1t is
certain that all of the emergency
buildings will be used during the com
ing year.

MORE PRIZES FOR FLY swATTERs
Merchants & Savings Bank Adds $4,000
to the Amounts to be Given Swatters

Interest in the fly swatting campaign
in Kenosha was increased today when
it was announced that the amount Of
prizes to be given in the contest had
been doubled by gift from the
Merchants and Savings Bank. This
gift of thirty dollars will be appor-
toned among the boys and girls at the
end of the contest the first of October.
A year ago the bank gave a like amount
to put little ginger into the contest
among the children. Already the flies
have begun to come into the office Of
the department. and it is expected that
within week there will be great
lot of "dead 'unsO to be disposed Of.
Some of the crafty leaders in the con
test are picking out bad spots in the
city and Notwithstanding the cold
weather these boys and girls are al
ready reaping harvest Of flies. The
health department is taking special
pains TO see that these breeding places
for flies are cleaned up just as fast as
they are reported by the boys and girls
and one Of the big objects of the CON
test is to seek out these places and see
that they are cleaned up.

MANKUs FIGHTS CHARGE.
Charged With Speeding on Concrete
Road Denies His Guilt in Court.

Charles Mankus, proprietor of the
Burke Theatre, and the owner of big
yellow Stutz automobile, was brought
before Judge Randall in the municipal
court this morning on charges of
speeding on the Lake Shore road.
Mankus promises to make a fight
against the charge and the case was
continued until August 18th and Man
kus was held in bonds of fifty dollars
to appear at that time. He asserts
that at the time he was arrested he

However, Fritz Rudy, who made the
arrest, has some more to say. He ad-
mits that at the time he laid his hand

prisoner or any other phrase thgt
might have been said at the time MIN

miles an hour, but that previous to
this time he had burned up the rad

miles an hour. The question as to Just

thrashed out in this and Sheriff Stahl
is lining up his evidence to show that
Mankus violated the law.
