ASK PAROLE FOR AELLO.
Son of Man Convicted of Car Thefts
Asks Aid of Judge Randall in
Seeking Fathers Release.

Frank Aello, of Chicago, came to
Kenosha this morning and sought the
aid Of Judge Randall to secure the re-
lease Of his father, Frank Aello, from
the state prison at Waupun. The
father was a trusted employee of the
North Western Railway company at
Balm station and he was sent to prison
for a years term after being convict
ed on charges Of stealing from box
cars. Several efforts have been made
by Chicago lawyers to secure the re-
lease Of Aello, but the state board of
control refused to consider the petit
tions on the ground that the man had
not as yet served half of his term.
The application for a parole will be
presented to the state board at it's
meeting in January. It is not thought
that it will be opposed by the local
officials who were connected with the
arrest and conviction of Aello.

RESPOND TO CALL.
Mar Kenosha People willing to Aid
Boy Scouts in the Burial of Fallen
Comrade.

The big heart of the people of Keno
sha has been touched by the call of the
Kenosha boy scouts for funds for the
burial of Paul Wetzel, a boy scout who
died far from home and without friends
in Kenosha. David Fogwel1 the head
of the scouts in Kenosha had many calls
this morning and up to noon more than
forty dollars in donations had been off
erred him by people who wanted young
Wetzel to be saved from sleeping in a
grave in the potter s field. There was
pathos in some of the gifts. One of
them was for but thirty-fve cents but
it represented pennies Of children. An
other came from a family who once had
"a boy of their own who had worn boy
scout uniform and who was laid at rest
with the honors of the scouts some time
ago.
Mr.. Fogwell has not as yet decided
just what will be done in the matter
cit would be the proper thing to send
the body of Wetzel back to the poverty
stricken home in Virginia, he said this
morning. "I have not found out just
how much this would cost and 90 not
know what chance there would be of
raising money enough to prepare for
such burial We do feel certain that
the people Of Kenosha will pay enough
to provide for the decent burial of the
boy. He is one of the strangers within
our gates and the movement to save
him from the potter's field has touched
real responsive chord The boy
scouts were busy today seeking contri,
buttons for the fund.

CAN'T BEAT GAS COMPANY.
Man Who Was Alleged to Have Made
False Connection Held in Bonds
of $4,000 in Court.

j. G. Burkhardt, residing on How
land avenue, was brought into the
municipal court this morning charged
with the heinous offense Of attempting
to defraud the gas company. Accord
ing to the complaint filed against Burk-
hardt he was charged with making a
false connection in his home which
made it unnecessary for much of the
gas used in the house to pass through
the meter which had been placed in his
basement and maintained by the COM
pany. 1t was alleged that Burkhardt
had followed out timber and by an
ingenious device had made a connec-
ton which furnished gas to the house
without sending it through the meter.
The states attorney charged that the
value Of the gas secured in this way
exceed twenty dollars. Burkhardt
entered a plea of "not guilty" to the
charge and the hearing of the case was
adjourned until the tenth of December.
The defendant gave a cash bond of
two hundred dollars to insure his ap-
pearance on the adjourned date.
