SOUTH HAS GIVEN FREELY
Pacific Coast Is Also Generously Ex-
tending Red Gross Aid - Mil
waukee Has Recently Organ
lied Work.

Kenosha will have a Red Cross soei.
ETY..
Mrs, E. L. Grant, 479 Prairie avenue,
one of the most progressive and ener-
getic of KenOsha's many splendid wo-
men, has awakened to the need of Red
Cross work being done by every city
and village of this land. Her atten-
ton was first called to the need of the
work during her recent southern trip.
where at the little winter resort of
Belleaire $500 was raised and seven
large boxes of hospital materials were
packed and sent to the French hospital
commission in Philadelphia in fifteen
days.
Mrs. q. G. Simmons said that SINH
larly spontaneous and generous response
is being made on the Pacific coast to
the cry for aid from France.
In Milwaukee just recently Red
Cross society was formed in which the
most socially prominent families of the
city were represented and arrangements
were made for lessons in Red Gross
first aid work.
The Kenosha organization will attend
to raising funds and collecting noces-
cary bandages, dressings and other ma
terials to be sent to the French frontier
hospitals where there is desperate need,
according to reports made By the
French hospital commission, and will
not spend time on preparation for ser
vice as Milwaukeeans are doing.
Mrs. Grant is throwing open her own
home for the initial meeting to which
invitations are being issued today, and
which is to be held tomorrow.
The work done for the French hospi
tals may be preparation which will
be of great assistance to this country,
should it by any i'll chance be drawn
into conflict. The organized societies
with their knowledge of what is needle
by the hospitals and their systematizei
modes of procedure would be of in
estimable value to our own extrempiv
deficient and unequipped national nos
pital corps.

MANY PEOPLE REFUSE TO SIGN
Attorneys Claim That Shadow of the
Failure of Refrigerator Plant Here
Would Make Impossible aFair Trial
of Racine Bankers in Kenosha Co.

Attorneys interested in the defense
of Charles A. Carpenter and B. Hin
richs, former officials Of the Racine
Commercial and Savings bank, now
under Indictment in Racine county,
were in Kenosha on Monday afternoon
seeking afidavits of people of Kenosha
city and county to show that Carpen-
ter and Hinrichs could not secure a
fair trial on the charges against them
in this county. The attorneys for the
two bankers have filed an affidavit in
Racine demanding that the trials of the
two men be transferred to some other
county for trial and it is thought
probable that the judge of the court
would order the cases tried in Kenosha
county. This the attorneys for the
bankers seek to forestall.
The attorneys hold that it would be
unfair to Carpenter and Hinrichs to
try them in this county on account of
the failure of the United Refrigerator
and Ice Machine company. The failure
of this company is said to have been
brought on by the failure Of the bank
in Racine and the notes of the refriger-
ator company are mentioned in the in
dictments against Carpenter. Attor-
ney Harding, who was handling the
matter in Kenosha, visited mahy of the
local people who had been interested
in the affairs of the Racine bank. 1t
is not known how many afidavits be
secured. Some of the people visited
refused to sign the afidavits, holding
that they were not aware of any
prejudice against Carpenter and Hin
richs. The names of neither of the
men figured in connection with the re-
frigerator plant in Kenosha and it is
probable that but few of the people of
the county had any idea of the con-
nection of the Racine bankers with
Peter B. Nelson and the Kenosha man
ufacturing plant.
The attorneys for the bankers seem
to be DESTROYS of taking the trial of
their clients outside the First Wiscon-
sin Judicial circuit. This has not been
the practice in the past when change
OF venue has been demanded. In
most of these cases the trial has been
sent to some other county in the same
circuit, 1t is expected that Judge
Belden will call in some other judge to
hear the trial of the two cases. If the
case is sent to this county for trial it
will mean term of the court which
will continue for many weeks as it is
understood that great fight is to be
made to save the Racine bankers from
conviction. The trial of the cases is
scheduled to start week after next and
if it is to be brought to this county it
is probable that some announcement
Of this fact will be made within
the next few days.
The afidavits of Kenosha people
will probably be presented to Judge
Belden tomorrow

Counter Attacks Retake Positions.
Petain Plans Surprise.

Paris, April 12.-There is a cessa-
tion Of the German infantry assaults
to the west of the Mouse, although the
bombardment Of the French lines be-
tween LIE Mort Homme and Cumieres
continued, according to the official
communication issued by the war Of
fee. A powerful attack, however, was
delivered against the French trenches
between Douaumont and VauX, east
of the Mouse. The Germans at this
point succeeded in gaining a foothold
In some of the advanced trenches, but
were driven out by counter attack.
French Launch Drive.
London, April luxurious French
counter attacks and sheeted artillery
fire are checking the mighty drive
launched by the Germans on the
northern fronts of Verdun.
The French are striking blows RI
valing In power the tremendous
smashes directed by the crown prince
against Dead Mans hill and the posi-
tions northwest of Verdun.
Drive Nearly Halted.
The crown princes attack has been
brought to a complete stop on every
sector, excepting on the barren north
eastern ridge of Dead Mans hill,
where the Germans, the French war
office admits, gained a footing in por
lions of French trenches.
German losses since the Verdun
battle began, f1fty-one days ago, total
more than 100000, the French war Of
fee estimates. The German semi-off1-
cial news agency claims the capture
of $4,000 French prisoners, indicating
that French losses have at least ex-
ceeded 100000.
French Plan Big Drive.
General Petain, the French com
mander, plans to engage the least pos
sible number of men, so as to retain
the maximum number of formations
for the Interior operations which are
to be entered upon at moment which
he will consider opportune and which
probably will be decided upon by him
when he considers that the Germans
have wasted all the men they are will
ing to sacrifice
Since the beginning of the battle
the Germans have employed thirty
two divisions, it is asserted, and it is
impossible for them long to continue
their efforts on the present scale. A
radical change is looked for shortly.

I. R. SKATERS,
SHERMAN SLATE
Harlan, Roosevelt Man, Looks
Like Illinois Winner.
BREAKS IN ON STATES BIG 8"

Roger Sullivan Sweeps Democratic
Primaries-Deneen Faction Seems
Victorious Among Republicans.
Former Governor, However, Beaten
In Own Ward as Mayor Thompson
Is In His.
Chicago, April 12.-According to re-
turns which trickied in slowly, Theo-
dore Roosevelt kicked hole in the
Sherman slate Of national convention
delegates. John Maynard Harlan ran
strongly in Cook county, and reports
from downstate indicated that he
would land among the eight delegates
at large from Illinois. Many counties
went against Harlan, but the voting
waws light.
Whether Mayor Thompson or Ma
ton Committeeman Roy O. West
will be crowded off the delegation
may not be known for several days,
until final returns are in from tbs re-
mote country districts.
peneen Beaten for Committeeman.
Charles S. Deneen was defeated in
his home ward. He lost his fight to
be reelected ward committeeman by
a margin of about $50 votes. The for
mer governor has been on the COM
mittee for twenty years and more.
Mayor Loses Own Ward.
Mayor Thompson also lost his own
ward, the Twenty-third, just as he
lost it in the aldermanic primaries.
Edward J. Brundage, leader of the
"neutrals," against whom the city hall
forces directed all the force Of patron
age at their disposal, endorsed A. %.
Erickson, the Thompson candidate. by
more than 1000 plurality on the face
of incomplete returns.
Both suffered from the knife.
.Thompson's vote was held down by
the fact that the Deneen-West men
voted for seven Of the Sherman slated
candidates, Withholding their votes
from the mayor. That process raised
the totals of the seven corresponding
1y with Vests
Vote for Thompson Alone.
The city hall organization, however,
voted for Thompson alone, which gave
the mayor relative advantage over
West in a field of nine, where only
eight were to be elected.
1t seemed certain on the early re-
turns that Harlan, Thompson or West
would be the loser on the Republican
side.
Medfll Mccormick led the ticket,
from the time the figures began to ar
rive. Congressman William M. McKin-
ley Of Champaign, and William J. Cal
houn, former minister to China and
a resident of -McCormick's ward, were
up near the top.
Roger c. Sullivan cleaned up on the
Democratic side, defeating ex-Mayor
Harrison and Governor Dunno in near
iy every ward and won downstate.
