No Strike For Her.

Our daddy left his job today,
Up where the masons climb,
The men are ont for higher pay
And shorter working time.
They've sworn to stick,
Nor lift brick
That comes from off a truck,
But mother, patient mother, hash Z
struck.
Our sister Kate is home from her
Nice stenographic place.
The striking typist girls concur
That wages need brace.
She does not please
To pound the keys
For pay she doesn I like,
But mother in the kitchen doesn t
strike.
And brother Bill has left his job
At motoring car.
He says the managerial mob
Pushed tyranny too far.
No move he IL make
To turn the brake.
He thinks he s showing pluck.
But mother, weary mother, hash t
struck
And Uncle Bill, who up to date
Has been a drvgoods clerk,
This morning at the hour of eight
Refused to 90 to work.
He said 1T S wrong
To toll so long,
Where women shoppers hike
But mother in the kitchen doesn Z
strike.
Her working day has hours sixteen,
Outside the union ranks,
! No salary she S ever seen,
/ Her pay IS a careless "'Thanks."
Yet night and day
! She slaves away
For Ned and Name and Mike,
And mother in the kitchen doesn 7

HARTzELL OUT OF PRISON AGAIN
Man Tried for Burglary Here Spends
Two Days at Joliet and Then
Gains Freedom.

John Hartzell, the Chicago man who
was the defendant in a rather sensa-
tional burglary trial recently tried in
the circuit court here, is now a free
man. When Hartzell was acquitted on
charges of burglary by jury in the
circuit court here he was taken direct
ly to Joliet by prison officials who al
legged violation of his parole from
that institution. Two days later he
was given his liberty by the Illinois
parole board. Before Hartzell left
Kenosha his wife, who was intensely
loyal to him, had made an appeal to
the board for an immediate hearing of
his claims for parole. He was called
before the board two days later and
he submitted the records of the circuit
court here to show that he had been
found "not guilty. of charges alleg-
ed against him. The parole board at
once directed that he be released from
prison and he did not return to Joliet.
Hartzell is now working in Chicago.

ARRESTS IN sTABBING ARRAY
George Galaney Identifies Joseph
Reale as Man Who Cut Him
on Saturday Night.

Four arrests were made by the police
on Monday night at midnight in an
effort to solve the mystery attending
the assault made upon George Galaney
near the Main street bridge on last
Saturday night. Galaney identified
Joseph Reale, arrested by Police Of
fcer Pingetore as one of the men who
had attacked him and Reale is booked
on charges of attempted murder at the
police station. The other men arrest
ed were Peter Salerno, Gaento Averso

and Galaney could not identify any of
the trio as the companion of Reale at
the time the attack took place. The

were being held pending further ar
rests in the case. Reale declared that

TAKEN IN INDIANA CITY.
Fred Htnderholtz of Kenosha Arrested
on Statutory Charge at Val
paraiso, Ind, on Monday.


Fred Hinderholtz, formerly well
known in Kenosha, was arrested at
Valparaiso, Indiana, on Monday after
noon charged with statutory offense
on warrant issued in the municipal
court of Kenosha. Chief O'Hare
left Kenosha this afternoon for Val

sued for the arrest of Miss Johnson.
She had disappeared from her home
here two months ago and the police
had been seeking her since that time.
Hinderholtz had wife living at Ash

ton for divorce, charging him with
cruelty and desertion. Papers in the
case were sent to Kenosha for service
and when the police began to seek
Hinderholtz they discovered that he
was living in the Indiana city. Sheriff
W. S. Lindall at Valparaiso managed
to arrest the man on Monday after
noon and Hinderholtz promptly an
nounced that he would come to Keno
sha without demanding extradition
papers. The police assert that the case
is one which may prove interesting to
the federal officials.

Chicagoan Ell ED as Pick
pocket Declares He Is In
nocent - Friend Would
Make Good Losses.
MORE RODDERIES REPORTED

Dan O'Keef, Chicago man held at
the Kenosha county Jail charged with
having part in the robbery of prob
ably a dozen people out at Central
Park on last Saturday afternoon, was
not taken into court for hearing to-
day. O'Keef has made several state
ments to the sheriff and the district
attorney and to Attorney Calvin Stew
art, who has been retained to defend
him, and it is not known just when he
will be taken into court for hearing.
District Attorney Drury admits that
the case has some very interesting an
giles and that for this reason he is hold
ing it open until after further investi-
cation has been made. Leon Melon of
Chicago, was in Kenosha on Monday
looking after the interests of O'Keef,
and it was declared by the local of
fcials that there was a possibility that
the money taken from the various peo-
pie at the picnic might be returned to
them together with money enough to
buy new pocket books for all. O'Keef
has steadily declared that he had no
part in the robbery at the park, but
suggestion of settlement has been taken
under consideration by the officials.
It can be said that the suggestion
bears with it no possible immunity
from prosecution.
O'Keef has volunteered the informa-
ton to the sheriff that he and two com
panions came out Of Chicago early Sat
urday afternoon. They had some trou-
BILE with a man who gave the name Of
Henry Pfster and who is supposed to
have been from Milwaukee. O'Keef
admitted that his party had left the
train rather hurriedly at Racine and
that they had started to go back to
Chicago on the electric car when they
were landed at Central Park when the
picnic was in full swing. The two
companions of O'Keef are not named
in any of his stories, but he declares
that they are Chicago men. He asserts
that they had nothing to do with any
robberies at the park on Saturday.
The district attorney believes that
O'Keef will b cable to furnish some
more information later. Several other
reports of people being robbed have
been sent to the local officials and it
is declared that the total amount
known to have been secured by the
pick pockets now is in excess of seven
hundred dollars.
The losses have all been tabulated
and the Chicago friends of O 'Keef have
been given chance to make good
these losses. The local officials believe
that O'Keef could tell a lot more than
he has told and for this reason they
have made no objection to the contin-
uation of the hearing as sought by his
attorney. It is probable that the man
will be brought into court some time
on Wednesday.
