Mrs. Jacob Schackmuth Stricken With
Apoplexy while Visiting at Neigh
boris Home on Wednesday.

but nothing could be done to prolong
her life.

FALLS IN COURT HOUSE.
Joseph Schepp Stricken With Heart
Disease at County Building
Tnis Morning

Joseph Schepp, residing at 314 North
street, was stricken with an attack of
heart disease at the door of the county
court house just after ten o'clock this
morning and for half an hour he was
in an unconscious condition. Doctors
McCracken and Andre were called to
attend him and later he was taken to
his home. 1t is declared that the young
man had similar attack on last Fri
day night. Schepp came here from
Fond du Lac in August of this year.
Some time before he had been injured
in a railway accident on the 500 line.
Physicians who examined him this
morning declared that they believed
that one of the vertebrae in his back
had been fractured and that an opera
tion would be necessary to restore him
to health. He was taken to his home
in carriage.

CALLED HUSBAND ssHoBo.' ,
Mrs. Sophia Geniautis is Granted a
Divorce from John Geniautis and

PETITIONS IN CIRCULATION.
West 'Siders Push Demand for Branch
Postoffice With Twenty Four
Petitions.

The fight for a branch of the post
office over on the west side went for
ward with vigor this morning when
twenty-four petitions to the postmaster
general were placed in circulation on
the west side Of the city. One has
been placed in each of the west side
factories and there are several of them
in stores. Others are being carried
from house to house by enthusiastic
members Of the West Side Boosters
Club. 1t is expected that every man
on the west side of the city will have
signed the petition by the first of
January and then they will be sent to
Washington by special messenger who
has instructions to go to the con-
gressmen and senator's and see
that they get action. The petition
reads as follows:
"To the Postmaster General Of the
United States Of America. The under
signed, residents Of the western part Of
the city of Kenosha, Kenosha county,
Wisconsin, respectfully petition that a
substitution of the general postoffice at
said city be created, installed and
maintained in the business district Of
the southwestern part Of said city at
such point as your department. ehall
deem proper. We are of the opinion
that such action is necessary owing to
the large increase in population in that
district, general business conditions
prevailing, the location of large man
ufacturing plants in the immediate
vicinity and the fact that the territory
in question is far removed from the
general postoffice of said city,

Kenosha Masons are talking plans
for a new temple again and at the
annual meeting Of the "Bluen lodge
and the annual meeting of the Masonic
Temple Association held on Monday
evening, the discussion of plans for
new Masonic home was featured.
There is nothing immediate in the plan
and it will probably be at least an
other Year before the members of the
order are ready to take any action.
At the annual meeting of the Ma
sonic Temple Association the members
Of the various Masonic organizations,
including the Blue Lodge, the Chapter,
the Council, and the Commandery,
were invited to name committees to
work as a general committee to figure
out financial plan for the erection of
a new temple. 1t is expected that this
plan will be presented to the stock
annual meeting. It is possible that by
that time the plan will be far enough
advanced to make possible the presen-
tation to the members of the order of
preliminary sketches for the new build
ing. For some time a committee has
been scouting about looking for sites
available for such temple. The
finances of the associations were shown
to be in excellent condition in the
annual reports of the officers. Many
Of Tho ha~c of JoI
that the time is nearly ripe to urge the
erection Of the new building and they
hold that the present quarters are en-
tirely too small to accommodate the
many activities of Masonry in Kenosha.
The annual meeting of the lodge
proved to be onesof the most enthusi-
astic gatherings Of Masons ever held
in Kenosha. Ralph Y. Cooper, who
has served iii the various chairs of the
lodge with distinction, was elected to
succeed w. A. Matzke, as Master of
the lodge Mr.. Cooper has been Senior
Warden of the lodge during the past
year and he has shown great interest
in the work Martin Gauss was named
as Senior Warden and George H. Cook
as Junior Warden. BENJAMIN Bundle
was named to succeed himself in the
office of secretary and Thomas S. Scott
was elected treasurer. Retiring Wor-
shipful Master w. A. Matzke was
named as trustee Of the lodge for
term of three years.
The Inauguration of the officers,
which is always made real Masonic
event in Kenosha, will be held the last
week of the year.

RURAL INSPECTOR ASPEAKER
People of the School Districts Are Urged
to Cooperate With District Officers
to Make Schools Better - the
County Superintendent Talks.

Nearly two hundred school teachers
and members of District School Boards
in Kenosha county came to Kenosha
today to attend the annual school
board convention which is in session at
the Circuit Court room at the county
building and spend the day discussing
plans for the Improvement of the con-
ditions surrounding the schools of the
I county. It was regular old fashioned
school meeting with men and women
from every town in the county present.
Considering the fact that many of the
roads in the county were all bVt inn
passable the attendance showed a great
interest in the work of the schools
The speakers for the day included
County Superintendent John j. Ker-
win of Silver Lake; Rural School In
spector A. A. Thompson of Madison;
Supervising Teacher Lewis J. NORM,
and Superintendent of Schools Mary
d. Bradford of Kenosha. There was no
set program for the discussions and
many matters were proposed for
discussion from the floor of the con-
vention. The big feature of the day
was the effort made to create a new
and greater interest in the work
Of the schools.
The county superintendent started
the sessions with an interesting talk
in which he discussed the history of
the schools of Kenosha county and he
showed the big audience that the
schools had right to expect the en-
thusiastic support of the people of the
county. He showed that during the
last few years the interest in the
schools had showed large advance
ment, but that even with this advance
ment there were lot of people who
failed to realize that the develop
ment of the school system was the
most important work of this or any
other county.
Rural Inspector Thompson at the ses-
sion this morning gave much of his
time to the discussion of the state laws
regulating the conduct of the schools
and he made strong plea to the
teachers and the members of the vari-
Gus district boards to cooperate for the
enforcement of these laws. He made
many interesting suggestions for the
betterment of conditions in the country.
Supervising Teacher NORM gave
practical talk on the schools of the
condition, showing conditions as they
are and making suggestions for i'm
provement. He declared that the
teaching force of the Kenosha county
schools was rendering excellent service
and that the main drawback to success
full schools was the lack of cooperation
on the part of the parents.
At the sessions this afternoon Mr..
Thompson gave another pertinent talk
on school district management and
Mrs. Bradford was scheduled to speak
on the relation between the schools of
the city and county.

MOTHERS. PENSION Law GOOD.
If Trained oficer Administers Law 1t
Proves Desirable Factor in Con-
structive Charity.
(By Louise Cottren.)

Nby LOUISE OOLtTSlI.
To break with tradition invariably
requires courage. The mothers pen
sion law is break with tradition. 1t
is big step forward in help to strick-
en- children.
It's advantages over the old form of
city or county aid are legion. We
mention but two, the contrast of the
new system with the old as it effects
the families receiving the pension, and
as it effects the communities in which
these families live.
The quickest way to learn the con-
trast to the families themselves is to
put ourselves in their places. Would
we prefer to go each month to the
bank, draw check, and render re-
port of expenditures made, or to send
member of the family each week to
the City Hall to carry supplies home in
a basket? This means of course recog-
milton on the part of every other per-
son at the City Hall as well as of those
who see US as we enter with our bask-
cts or leave with our supplies that we
are paupers. 1t can not add to our
dignity. 1t is one of our badges of
pauperism. Paupers are human. Their
humanity is community asset. Their
pride is one of the attributes of hui
manity. Strip people of pride, what is
left? Whet the begging instinct, slim
ulate repeated asking, plant in the
minds of the children the idea that the
normal thing is to be recognized and
treated as paupers. Childhood is con-
fiding. 1t accepts what we plant.
The cities can not afford to raise
pauper children. The mother IS pen
sion considers the cities. Children firm
of muscle, bright of eye, regular in
school and church attendance, children
who stand erect and do not grovel are
bound for a citizenship that is con-
structive, that will return with inter
est the public help wisely given and
wisely guarded. The mothers pension
law requires suitable home conditions.
adequate health supervision, regular
school attendance.
The administration of the mothers
pension law is new responsibility in
volving new work. In the majority of
cases the courts are already overburd-
ened. A probation officer is a neces-
sity to the most efficient administra-
ton of the new law. Without such an
officer the court is handicapped. A
handicapped court is often criticized
for lack of the very machinery of ad-
ministration which the people who cri-
ticize have failed to provide.

BACK FROM WAR ZONE.
Miss Gertrude Soens Returns from
France Where She Served with the
American Red Cross Unit.

Miss Gertrude Soens, formerly of the
town of Somers, now of Racine, who
has been a nurse in the hospitals in
France for the past year, returned
home last week. During her stay in
France, Miss Soens witnessed many re-
suits of the terrible war. At times.
after battle, as high as 500 wounded
soldiers were brought into the hospi-
tails and sometimes there were 1900
wounded in single hospital. Miss
soens went over with the physicians
and nurses Of the DR.. Murphy unit of
Chicago She brought back with her
many relics of the war, such as masks
which are worn by the English and
French soldiers, large number of pic
lures and other interesting things.

but will remain in America.

PLACED ON PAROLE.
William Birch, Jr., Arrested Late on
Monday Afternoon Admits
Forging Name of Uncle.

Monday Afternoon Admits
Forging Name of Uncle.
William Birch, Jr., one of the best
known men of the town of Somers and
formerly actively connected with the
management of the Kenosha Pure Milk
Company, appeared in the Municipal
Court late Monday afternoon and
entered plea Of guilty" to charges
of forgery. Judge Randall placed him
under parole with the State Board Of
Control for a term Of two years fol
lowing an agreement that all the
monies secured through the forgery
would be repaid.
The arrest of Birch, which took place
late Monday afternoon, came as great
surprise. He is a member of one of
the old Somers families. In court
Birch told story of hard luck. More
than three months ago when the Ke-
nosha Pure Milk Company was in fnan-
cial straights, he went to the Merchants
and Savings Bank and secured loan
of two hundred and fifty dollars. The
loan was made for a three months
period and after Birch had signed the
note as principal he signed the name
of Edward Witscheber of Somers, his
uncle, as surety. When the note be
came due Birch could rot meet it and
it got into the hands of the district
attorney who found that Witscheber
had never given his consent to the
making of the note and in fact h.
knew nothing about the loan. Birch
was unable to make good the amount
of the loan and the warrant for his
arrest was issued late Monday after.
noon In court Birch had no defense
He declared that he had been hopeful
that he would be able to meet the note
out Of the profits of the business, but
that the practical failure of the bust,
ness had left him without funds to meet
| the obligation. He was frank in his
admission that he was guilty of the
charge made against him.
Birch IS father, who is one of che
most prominent farmers Of the town OF
| Somers was in court and declared his
willingness to aid his son out of the
financial difficulty and he made strong
| plea for his release on parole.
! Birch is now employed by one of the
Kenosha milk companies and he has
given assurance that he will make good
| all losses in the case.
