Celebrators of Hallowe en- In

Hallowe 'en, the ancient and honor
able holiday Of ghosts and COLLINS, was
a quiet night in Kenosha and the rec
ords of the police department this morn
ing fail to show the arrest of a single
celebrator. This does net mean that
there was not lot Of deviltry rampant
last night for there was the book
of the night sergeant, blotted with
calls of people who protested against
their being made the butt of Hallowe zen

Police officers were kept scurrying
from one end of the town to the other
but they were instructed to take the
parental authority of using their slip

been done in other years. Most of the

Senator Robert M. LaFollette has
broken his silence in regard to the
support Of Charles Evans Hughes for
president and this morning many of
the close personal friends Of the sena-
tor received from him a signed state
ment urging the election of Hughes.
Senator LaFollette in a rather extended
statement declared that after the sec

nomination Of Charles Evans Hughes. I"
The senator further urges his friends
to support Mr.. Hughes, Concluding
his signed statement he says: "He is
able independent, fearless, and pos
sessed Of high public spirit. There is
no question of his personal and politi-
cal integrity, he will go as far as his
convictions carry him and no Interior
influence can stop him. " TO many of
his friends in Kenosha the senator sent
q large number Of cards bearing his
message and he asked that they be dis
tributed as widely as possible.

ed at this attitude of the police. A
lot of small boys who had been aching
for spanking for some time got it
last night from some police officer
who decided that this was much better
way to deal with violation of the
law than to take the youngster to the
county jail. There were a lot of ghost
parades and the usual number of young
people were out with a generous supply
of cabbage stumps and bean shooters
but there was little destruction Of
property. Over ON the north side of
the city few surface toilets were tip

made of vehicles being carried away

AS in other years the soap artists
were busy about Kenosha and they
went from one end of the town to the
other decorating" windows. This
year the decorations took a political
turn and the names of many candidates
written in failing letters of soap were
found on many of the downtown win
dows. The window washing brigade
was out early this morning and it look
ed as if the men and boys would be
busy for several hours.

county farmer left his horse at the
place and it is thought that the thief
had no trouble making the change.
The theft of the horse from the road
house was not reported until Friday
morning on account of the fact that
Thomas believed that his horse had
been taken as a joke or by mistake
by one of his neighbors and that it
would be returned to him.
The police have absolutely no clew

LEFT HORSE At ROAD HOUSE
Chief O'Hare Follows Trail and Finds
Horse at Barn of Farmer Who Had
Left His at the Road House to
Be Taken by the Thief,

Chief of Police O'Hare on Sunday
afternoon recovered horse stolen in
Kenosha last Wednesday at farm five
miles west Of South Milwaukee. The
horse belonged to John Pirsch and last
Wednesday night it had been left
standing in front of the Pirsch repair
shops on Exchange street. When
Pirsch came out looking for it a half
hour later it was missing. He supposed
that the horse had strayed away and
had since been advertising for it as
lost. O'Hare heard on Saturday after
noon that horse was missing at South
Milwaukee and that another horse had
been left in place of it. He went to
South Milwaukee on Sunday morning
and after considerable search managed
to locate the road house he was looking
for. At the road house he was sent to
the farm of John Thomas, a farmer, five
miles west. There he found the Pirsch
horse much the worse for bad treat
ment grazing in pasture lot. Thomas
told the chief that on Thursday after
noon last, he had driven over to the
road house and that he tied his horse
when he went in to get drink He
came out of the place few minutes
later and his horse was gone and the
Pirsch horse was tied to the post.
Evidently the horse thief had driven
all the way from Kenosha to South
Milwaukee, without stopping and the
Pirsch horse appeared to have been
left without food all of the time. The
farmer declared that the horse was SO
weak that he had trouble getting to

THE BEST In HISTORY

Pstronize Generously-Eyey-

BY JOHN K TENER-

Fresioent OF the National League.
Splendid! That's my opinion Of the
baseball outlook for 1915 not merely for
the National League, but for every
diamond organization in the country.
Not since have been connected with
the great national game. either as player
rooter or executive, have prospects been
brighter for all concerned.
The mass OF people in this country love
the old game During the past two yeart
they have not shown Il go much as in
other years. but that was due 10 two
things. One was the European war.
which. for a time. brought about a bust
ness depression. The other was the base
ball war, which placed the Affairs OF
baseball in a chaotic state.
But now all is changed. The country
is enjoying prosperity greater than ever
money-and they do not feel that IN
spending some Of IL for baseball that they
iced sacrifice later TO make up for the
outlay.
Peaceful conditions in the baseball
world mean that the game itself will be
from % to 70 per cent faster and better
than II was during the past two years.
The players realize now that they must
play the game-Rnd they will. They are
going to put their whole hearts and
souls in the task. There will be no shirk-
ing. The boys Will be out there day after
day. battling every inch OF the way, not
merely because they must play at full
speed to retain their jobs, but because
their hearts are back in their tasks again.
The baseball war brought about de-
plorable conditions. The so-cslled nirt-
ing OF the Federsls turned the heads OF
some Of the players Conditions were
unsettled. But all is rosy now.
! look for one OF the prettiest races the
National League has ever known and
from what / hear the American League
will stage q fight equally aS thrilling
Some OF the clubs, in our circuit, that
were somewhat weak last year, have been
siren gthened. Every team has a chance
for the pennant honors as the rival out
fits prepare to toe the mark for the open
ing battle. Two or three Of the clubs
in the National League aren't conceded
chance by the dopesters-but the une1-
pected usually happens IN baseball The
Braves weren't conceded a chance in
1s1L Nor were the Phillies in Is1S Yet
both won out History may repeat this
year.
Barring a rupture IN our international
relations or some serious trouble IN
Mexico the 1916 season undoubtedly viii
be the most prosperous and best in the
long honorable history Of the national
game.

two important games scheduled for this

Although they have not had much
chance to practice, on account of the
unfavorable weather, the players are in
good shape and It is expected that they
will make good showing at both games.
Cox and Giblin form a good battery COM

Taylor will use them to start tomorrow 8

other good twirler and he will probably
