WEATHER PREVENTS VOLSFROM HOLDING
 NEEDED TRAINING
Nashville Vols Ready to Start Practice With Incomplete Roster
 at Hand

The Vols have started their spring training. Although the last club in the circuit with the exception of Mobile to start the training, the delay was by no means due to Manager Roy Ellam. Pres ident Shropshire set the date for report ing and consequently that was the day.
 But few Vols have reported. Although there is but few hold-outs the remainder of the roster is expected at any moment. Ellam will start training at once and within short time under the guidance of q genial Roy, the Vols should hit their stride The Nashville Tennessean gives the following account of the first report ing day for the Vols:
 Vols on Hand-Pitchers: Wylie Taylor Frank Wells, Tom Rogers, Bill Ellis, Err ne Herbert Catchers: John Gooch, Moose Marshall Outielders, Gus Will Hams
 MT. Roscoe Nunn, the well known ec- centric dispenser of still more eccentric weather, will never find in his morning mail an annual pass from Proxy c. Shropshire. Mir Roy Ellam will see to that.
 After the scurvy trick which MT R. Nunn played on the gents who turned up yesterday to engage in the opening of local baseball affairs, the weather man cooked his own goose with the Ellamites. There S no way to pardon Mir Mum for his carelessness in bottling up the sun shine and letting loose all the icces, for he has been given fair warning repeat edly that the Vols would break open the training season yesterday. And all they could break open, as things turned out, was the cedar chest to dig up few more ''heavies'' to stave off the icy blasts.
 Quite a number of the early birds in the Vol camp-the more prominent of the con- spirators being MT. Augustus Williams and MT. Wylie Taylor-were around ballyhooing for MT. R. Ellams arrest on 8 charge of false pretenses.' According to the pair of gents, MT. Ellam repre- sented to them that they were to come to Voltown to engage in the baseball bus- ness and lol and behold, when they landed they discovered to their horror that Slip pery Ellam was engaged in equipping an expedition to make'a dash into the Arctic circla~ Considerable mouthing was car ried on by the early arrivals over the sit uation, while MT Ellam sat huddled close to the radiator moaning and grooming over his lot.
 VOLS UNABLE TO PLAY
 Such icy blasts as confronted the van guard of the Vols battery talent and Gus Williams the Toronto Terror, is only fit for football. And speaking of foot ball. Roy Slippery Ellam intends to have bit of that diversion down in the Dell today and MT. Roscoe Nunn can do his very worst
 The Vol boss is strong for the football in spring training as a developer of the leg muscles. After winters layoff, Boss Ellam believes a few rounds at booting the pigskin is the very dinctum to work out the kinks of his hired hands legs-or out of the legs of his hired hands, which ever you like the best.
 At any rate, since the Vols cannot play

WONA lO NEW This work is a new thing with the In- dians and is one of the many ideas of the new manager which are being put rto practice and which seem to be work ing out well.
 Today the weather is expected to be moderated a little and it is probable that practice games will be played by both the Pelicans in the morning and the In- dians in the afternoon.

BABY CONTEST PLANNED.
City Health Department Will Give a
Contest in Connection With the
Coming Farmers Institute.

There is to be baby contest held in
connection with the coming farmers
institute in Kenosha March 8, 10 and
IL. This will be in no wise a baby
show where the prize is given to the
handsomest baby. On the other hand,
it will be conducted on scientific prin-
ciples. Each baby will go through the
hands Of physicians and other experts
who will give the child SO many marks
on its score for its mentality, it's ad-
vancement according to it's age, the
shape of the head, the proportions of
the body, the general physical develop
ment and other characteristics. The
child coming nearest to the perfectly
developed child of the age in which en-
tered, will get the highest mark. In
this way the markings are entirely fair
as no child is marked merely because Of
its personal attraction for a given
judge but for it's general perfection Of
mental and physical development.
This examination will, at the same
time, help mothers to discover defects
that may heretofore have been unsus-
pected, and in many cases may mean
that physical attention that is badly
needed will be given when otherwise
the mother would have allowed the de-
feet to continue until it resulted in
something much more serious.

SAMUEL cRoTHERs is COMING.
Under the Auspices of the Unitarian
Church He Will Appear in the
Church Next Tuesday.

DR.. Samuel Crothers of Cambridge,
Mass, is coming to Kenosha and will
lecture in the Unitarian church at s
p. NJ, Tuesday, March 7th.
DR.. Crothers is a never ending delight
on the lecture platform.
Many who were fortunate enough to
go to Milwaukee when this noted writer
and lecturer was there three years since,
will remember with pleasure the keen
ness and kindness of his delicious satire
and the merriment of his drolleries that
kept his big audience in a state of hi
larity. His humour is of the delicate
sort that gives his hearers a thrill of
pleasure when they discover it, in much
the same way that overturning clum J
of snow and uncovering bit Of trailing
arbutus does. His fun is always of the
unexpected variety.
To those who are familiar with the
delectable literary viands which DR.
Crothers serves up in his all-too-rare
articles in The Atlantic'' and in his
essays in book form, TO word of com
mendation will be necessary to secure
their presence at his talk.
DR.. Crothers is the beloved of all
classes, including the scholar and the
unlettered. When Theodore Roosevelt
went into the African jungle, one Of the
few volumes he took with him was
"The Gentle Reader" by DR.. Crothers,
in a binding Of pigskin.
DR.. w. F. Greenman, the Unitarian
pastor in Milwaukee, wrote to Mrs
Bradford in regard to DIR. Crothers
coming: " You can afford to hrag about
Crothers all you want and he will come
up to the brag. do not care to what
denomination people belong, they will
confess after hearing him that it is a
big event. He is engaged months ahead
for baccalaureates for colleges of every
Protestant utilization. The foremost or.
CARNATIONS in America unhesitatingly
offer him $3.50 for a single address. He
reaches all sorts and characters, bust
ness men, educators, working classes
social workers and every day folk.
Many national organizations, the Ma
tlonal Educational association, the Re
hgious Education association and the
National Conference Of Charities and
Corrections have had him repeatedly
lie certainly is a great favorite.

ELEVENTH HOUR PAYERS BUSY.
City Treasurer Martin Steinmetz Clos
ing Up His Tax Books Today
and Many Settle With City.

It was the last day for paying the
city taxes and a continuous stream of
property owners lined up to the win
dow at the Office of the city treasurer
in the city hall during the day paying
up to escape penalties. There was
about ninety thousand dollars to be
collected when the payments started
this morning. Hundreds of checks
came in the morning mail and these
were thrown into basket to await
the consideration of the treasurer lat
er. Receipts will be sent to these peo-
pie just as soon as the treasurer can
find time. 1t will probably take an
other ten days to close up the tax
books and the receipts may not reach
the taxpayers until after that time.
There is going to be a considerable
delinquent tax this year, but as in
other years it is expected that the
treasurer will show compassion on the
tardy ones and accept their money up
to the very day that he turns the
books over to the county treasurer.
This will be about the fifteenth of
March but there is no promise that
the books will be held up to that time.
Taxpayers can make a considerable
saving in the amount of the taxes by
getting the money to the treasurer
before the books are turned over to
the county building.

Superintendent Cary Sends
Out Statement Showing
Objections to One Move
ment in Wisconsin.
UNIVERSITY MUST TAKE ALL

Local school officials have received
copies of statement issued by State
Superintendent Cary at Madison in
which he takes exception to the state
plan of having an accredited list"
of high schools
In the opening Of his statement,
superintendent Cary calls attention to
the fact that bill before the last leg
islature to prohibit the university from
inspecting high schools was defeated
il the senate after it had passed the
assembly. Mr.. Cary said that the uni
versity claimed that such list was
purely honorary and in the last ana1y-
sis was of no effect whatever in rela-
tion to the admission of students. In
other words Mr.. Cary declares it was
represented that admission is now ex-
actly on the basis provided for in
the bill.
mo state university should be al
lowed to put up the bars against the
admission Of students who have had
four years of training in public high
school, and are recommended by the
principal as qualified to do college
work. says Mr.. Cary's statement.
mo state university should be per-
mitted to dictate even by directly
welding even the admission club,
what the course of study in public
high school should be.
"In Wisconsin we have an education
81 system and the university is a part
Of it, but it was a very disjointed sys-
tenn so long as the university was in an
attitude of mind and was permitted to
pursue policy of dictation. The ac-
credited list even with the explanation
given above, is an evil that ought not
to exist in Wisconsin. The evil is sub
tie and may perhaps be ignored in
view of the moribund condition of the
university domination. The evil con-
sists in this, that high schools in some
instances may still have pride in the
shackles that bind them to a higher
institution of learning, rather than
pride in being living force for the
welfare of the community

BUNS GET ..TH1RD DEGREE. >

A half dozen hobos, who infested
Kenosha on Monday night and who
reached the decision that midnight
was just about the time to start beg
ging at some of the houses about the
depot and over on the north side, We're
given taste of what the third de-
gree really means at the city lookup
last night. The patrol wagon was kept
on the run for an hour rounding up
these fellows and the police did not
show them a great deal of considera-
ton. Every one of them had been
shown the limits of the city on Mon
day morning and when they came back
last night the police officers were mad.
The tramps had been to dozen houses
in different. parts of the city after ten
O'clock last night and complaints of
their action came in from half q
dozen places. When they got through
with their interview with the police
after a show of fight, they were anxi-
Gus to get out of the city. -Four of
them were taken out and thrown into
the snow at the south limits just after
daybreak this morning and the other
two who were taken to court were
given fifteen minutes to get out.

RUSH WORK or EQUIPPING
Trustees Find 1t Impossible to Open
Sanatorium Tomorrow But Hope to
Have Things Ready Within a Week
Many Patients Await Opening.

Willowbrook Sanatorium is going to
have a library of its own as on Mon
day afternoon three of the book
stores Of the city donated to the in
stitution total of more than humid
red volumes which are to be the
nucleus for the library which it is
hoped will eventually be more than
three hundred volumes. Appropria-
lions or the county board made no
provision for the entertainment of the
patients during the long days when
the fight, for health is going on and
for that reason the voluntary gifts of
the book dealers is most pleasing to
the management of the institution.
Contributing to the library were
Charles H. Ernst, W. I'll. Robinson and
Glerum brothers. The books contri-
buted were not forgotten volumes of
past ages, but from among the chest
sellers. The library is up to date
in every way and already it would
rank we'll with many Of the private
Libraries in the city. It is expected
that many private individuals in the
city will fndb in the building up of the
library chance to give something to
this Institution without a large ex-
penditure Of money. What is wanted
Is books filed with cheer and the Joy
of living which will aid in some part
in relieving the monotony of the fight
for health on the part of the patients.
II is expected that the library at the in
sitution will eventually have no less
than five hundred volumes and plans
are being made ito shelve this mum
Der Of books.
The, members Of the board Of trus.
tees had planned for the opening of
WilIowbrook on Wednesday and the
superintendent and her staff had bent
every energy to this end, but the de-
llSy intthe delivery of important equip
mept made this plan impossible.
Many items Of necessary equipment
havet not as yet arrived from the
manufacturers and it will probably be
another week before the doors of
WillowArook swing open for the re-
ception of the first patients
Patients who are now in Kenosha
waiting for the opening of the insti-
tuition are anxious to be registered as
patients and 1T is expected that with
the opening 20 less than a dozen
patients from Kenosha county will be
received.
