Our Island Possessions.

Kenosha Is new island possessions
are going to offer to the city real
opportunity and it is to be hoped that
the City Board handling the question
Of improving the Washington Island
Park, will not be- hasty in disposing Of
the money that has come with the
property to provide for it's improve
ment. The city has wonderful oppor-
tunity. Detroit is one Of the largest
and most beautiful cities in the United
States and one of its real claim to
fame is the beautiful Belle Isle Park
up along the Detroit river. 1t is the
greatest attraction that beautiful De-
troit has to offer to her visitors and
it attracts thousands Of visitors to
Detroit every year.
There is an excellent opportunity for
the development of another Belle Isle
right here at Kenosha. Washington
Island, now the property of the city,
opens the way for one of the most
beautiful lake shore parks and park
ways to be found anywhere in the dis
trict of the Great Lakes. The council
and Park Board may we'll consider the
future building Of great park system
along the lake extending all the way
from the government light to the north
end Of the second island. Much of the
property needed FOR the carrying out
Of this idea could at the present time
be acquired at fair price. In fact,
all of the property could be secured at
price considerable less than has been
paid for acre property for parks in
many cities.
In order to make this vast stretch of
lake shore property into a city park
the initial expenditure need not be
large Once the city has secured pos
session Of the property needed for the
park and parkway along the lake it
will be possible to provide for improve
ments in the future Belle Isle was
not built in year or decade. De-
troit for more than half century has
been building this park for the people.
The men in charge Of parks over at
Detsoit recognized that there was in
this property real opportunity and
instead of scattering their oppoItuni
ties over a lot of small propositions
they improved Belle Isle. They kept
on improving it untiknow it is the play
ground not only Of Detroit, but Of
Michigan and much of the Great Lakes
territory. Belle Isle is more than q
pleasure park for the people of Detroit.
1t is q real Investment and it is an in.
teresting paying investment for the
hundreds Of visitors to Belle Isle
every month in the year leave thous-
ands of dollaas an the pockets of the
business men, Of Detroit.
Kenosha can get just as much room
for a riwef-lalSe bound park as Detroit,
has for Belle Isle. If the city wants
to 60 farther north even greater
stretch of territory could be secured.
The Park Board now has in its posses
sion close to thirty thousand dollars
which may be used for the purchase
Of park property, This money was
originally intended for the purchase of
the Ludwig property on Division street,
but the board found the purchase of
this property inadvisable under the
price asked, Most cities have re-
allied the value of the lake for parks
Chicago has its most beautiful parks

However, with double check on
them it is just possible that either the
city or county prosecuting officers
might be able to bring to the people
a little more safety. This is the real
purpose Of all jitney legislation. No
one cares to protect the business of a
railway company which has refused to
protect its own business. Every right
thinking man, however, is interested
in the safety and comfort Of the peo-
pie, whether they ride in Anticipated
street cars or semi-up to date jitney
vehicles.

KAUFF REFUSES
TOTAKE ORDERS
IL
Is Not With Giants; Must Re
port Before April II to
Keep in Game
SfseioI TO the Telegraph

New York, March Anew York
was a clearing house for three major
league clubs yesterday when repre-
sentatives of the New York Giants,
Boston Braves and Philadelphia Ma
tionals gathered here and embarked
on Journeys to their respective train
iing camps in the warmer regions of
this country.
Notwithstanding the many reports
to the contrary, "Bennie" Kauff elected
mot to pay any attention to the orders
to report for spring training, and
therefore was not on hand to travel
with the Giants, who left this morn
ing. This oversight automatically costs
Kauff 500. a fine stipulated in each
contract to cover this offense.
Should Kauff continue to ignore the
offers and orders of the Giants until
after the opening of the season. April
!, he, according to the National League
constitution, must be placed upon the
ineligible list This means that Kauff
will be "blacklisted" as far as organ
lied baseball is concerned. He is con-
Sidered part and parcel of the New
York baseball club and as such it will
be impossible for him to dicker with
any other organization under the ma
tional agreement.
This does not worry Kauff TO any
degree, according TO his own state
ment. At his hotel he said that he
had received orders to start for Mar
jim, but that he ignored these orders
because he did not recognize the right
of the Giants to issue any such COM
mands.

three field goals while Gebhard and

NO ADVANCEMENT
OF STATE FUNDS
Attorney General Brown De-
cides Against Proposed
System

The opinion given to Auditor Cen
eral Powell yesterday by Attorney
General Brown, in which he decides
against the proposed system of ad-
vancement of funds to departments of
the State government from appro-
priations. has attracted much atten-
tion at the Capitol.
The Attorney General says in his
conclusions:
"The act of June 2, 1915, contem-
plates a payment by the State Treas
urer, out of the State Treasury, by way
of advancement against specific ap-
preparation, and 1t cannot be held
that money has been paid out of the
State Treasury and is at the same time
in the State Treasury; that it has been
paid out of an appropriation and has
not been paid out at all. Except for
the act of June 2, 1915. there would be
no warrant in law for any such ad-
vancement. That act requires that the
advancement shall be paid out of the
appropriation made to a department,
bureau etc. If there is more than one
appropriation to such department,
board or bureau, the advancement will
have to be made out of and charged
against q particular and specific ap-
preparation or item of appropriation
and the fund so advanced cannot be
used for any ether purpose than t e
particular purpose set forth in IL :
items of appropriation.
You are therefore advised that the
proposed method of drawing a gen.
eral advancement, keeping account of
1t in the nature of an advancement
account, and charging it against spe-
ciflc items of appropriation only when
the vouchers are returned, Is not in
conformity with law. and could not
legally he put in force.

None OF the local teams figured In
scholastic league games last night, but
Central gained in the Central Penn
sylvania race through Readings vic
tory over York. There are three more
games on the local schedule. Central
plays Reading, Steelton and Tech, all
at home. Three victories will bring
the first championship to this city.
The score last night was: Reading 80,
York 29.
Steelton left the cellar position in
the Central Pennsylvania Scholastic
League last night, taking game from
Lebanon; score, 34 to 10. 1t was an
easy victory and one that must not be
overlooked by the Central quintet. The
next game in Harrisburg between
Coach Gaffney's five and the local toss
ers promises some excitement.
An Interesting game on to-night's
schedule is expected in the meeting of
the Hassett girls and Temple Uni
versity -eo-eds, of Philadelphia. The
local girls have been winning many
laurels this season, but in to-night's s
opponents have n team recognized as
champions of the East. Victors in

claim on this seasons championship
