GRAND JURY PRESENTNIENT.
Work is Completed and Report Rem.
dered Tuesday.

The following is the presentment
of the grand jury:
We. the grand jury, beg leave to
make the following report:
I'VE have passed on all bills of
indictment as handed us by the So
licitor.
1T has been reported to us that
all chain gang prisoners had not re-
ceived the same treatment, some not
being required to wear stripes or the
usual uniform and we suggest that
all prisoners be treated alike as to
uniform and no partiality shown.
I'VE have had complaints from
several school districts that the mon
ey paid in by the communication tax
had not been used in their respective
districts, as the roads in some in
stances have not had any attention
worth mentioning in several years,
and we suggest that the supervisor
be instructed to use the money from
each district on the roads of said dis
trict as far as practical BILE.
I'VE also recommend the publi-
cation of our county's expenses quar-
terly and understand that an appro.
priation of sixty dollars (S60.00C has
been provided for so doing. One of
the three papers in the county has
offered to publish such report quar-
terly and receive one-third of the
amount as appropriated, provided the
other two papers do likewise, and If
the other two refuse, he will publish
the report for the county for the
above amount of sixty dollars per
annum.
I'VE have been approached by one
of the citizens of the county suggest
ing that we recommend the sale of
small portion of the back lot of the
court house property and while we
are not much in favor of selling the
same, we have appointed the follow.
ing committee to confer with the
court house officials and report at
next meeting of our body: ]. H. Cope,
A. McB. Speaks, and ]. ]. Smoak.
''The committee appointed at
the last term of court to have
the books of the judge of
probate examined have asked Tor,
further time as the party who they
employed to do the work will not }
able to get here for several days yet.
This work is to be finished and report
made at the next term of court:
eve find the county in good condi-
tion financially, the total amount on
hand for county purposes being s10,-
16S.40, and for school purposes s13,-
OS5.73, making a grand total of $685.
254.13. This report is to September
1st, 1917.
1--WE have examined the Jail and
all offices of the officials and find
them in good shape and neatly kept.
We find at the Jail an old negro man
who is not under indictment for.
any offence, but is not able to take
care of himself, and seems to be
rather out of his mind at certain.
times, and we suggest that he be ex-
amined and if found to be subject.
for the asylum that he be sent there;
if not, that he be allowed to stay at
the jail until well enough to be dis
charged and the sheriff be allowed
prisoners fare for him.
"The clerk of court calls attention
to his need of desk for his Office,
which will cost s22.50, and we rec
ommend the purchase.
eve thank your honor and the So
licitor for the advice and assistance
rendered us in the discharge of our
duties"

The German sympathizer has no
place in America, said the judge.
They should be sent to Germany to
fight for their kaiser. Attention was
called to the fact that long before a
rupture with Germany, that country
had America filled with spies to TO-
ment trouble; factories were blown
up, bridges destroyed, and all man
ner of trouble was caused at home
/ by the agents of the kaiser. Yet, in
spite of all this, there are those who
say we should not fight; in effect
saying We should be slaves to the
kaiser, who has violated every prin-
ciple of international law. If per-
chance any of our boys are left bur-
led beneath the sod in sunny France,
it will be a glorious death in the de-
tense of liberty and of our beloved
country.
Hon. B. D. Carter was next intro
duced. When we first read of the
war three years ago, he said, it was
then something vague, but as time
went on our rights were violated by
Germany, and notes were exchanged.
The time came, however, when notes
did not suffice, and the war drew
nearer until we became involved in
the struggle. We are in the war for
a just cause; we are fighting be-
cause we do care what kind OF a
country we have after We are dead
and gone. We are fighting that our
posterity may enjoy the freedom and
liberty for which our fathers died.
He pleaded with the people to put
on a solid front and bold face and
fight to a finish, and send the boys
away with a smile. He hoped that
the people would, however, realize
the seriousness of this matter. He
feels that this is but the beginning
of men going to the war; that many
more will be needed. Those who
stay at home have much work to do.
Dr. Watson said that an occasion
of this kind would be incomplete
without an expression from Senator
J. B. Black, who was then introduce
ed. DR.. Black expressed his appre-
citation of the young men who were
leaving for the field of battle. They
leave with the good will, best wishes
and prayers of all the people at home.
We may not see them again soon, but
we will never cease to think OF them.
He is proud of these young men. Bam-
berg has always been to the front and
she is still there and will continue
to be. While it brings a certain sad
ness to the heart to see young men
Offering up their lives if need be to
their country, he prefers to see them
thus than to view them as slackers.
! His last words to the boys are: God
be with you till we meet again.
DR.. Watson then asked if any one
of the young men would have a word
to say to the assembly. Bobbie Ben
nett, son of Mr.. w. D. Bennett, OF
/ Ehrhardt, responded in a most ap-
propriate manner, expressing his and
his companions sincere appreciation
! of the spirit which prompted the
people to come out to say goodbye.
Bamberg's contingent, said Mr. Ben
nett, will go into the struggle in the
name of God and of America.
At the conclusion of the speeches.
a hearty cheer went up for the boys
and the Star Spangled Banner was
sung. The singing of a number OF
patriotic songs during the evening
was one Of the features of the occa-
sion.

WRAPPING ORDINANCE VALID,
Judge Randall fines Baker Who
Failed to Wrap Bread as Demand
ed by the City Ordinance.

In the Municipal Court on Friday
afternoon Judge G. E. Randall handed
down verbal decision holding valid,
the city ordinance providing that
loaves of bread be wrapped before they
are sent out of bakeries. The decision
was not an extended one, but at that
it was one of the most important in
terpretations of local ordinances hand
ed down in many months. Samuel
Grotsky, who had been arrested for
violating the ordinance, was held guilty
and fined a dollar and the costs of the
action. Five other defendants arrested
on the same charge, are expected to
come into court to plead on Monday
morning. There is some doubt as to
whether or not there will be an appeal
from the decision of the court. Many
Of the bakers in the city are now OBJ
serving the law to the letter and it is
expected that others will follow suit

KENOSRA is TO HELP
Conference in Milwaukee on May 18th
to Plan for Wisconsin's Part in
the Work - Social Centers
Great Help to Soldiers.

Plans are under way whereby Wis
consin will help in the work that the
American Y. NJ c. A. will take in car
ing for the army of the United States
while it is in training and in action.
F. A. Hathaway, of the Kenosha Y. M.
G. A., who, as member of the Program
Committee of the Wisconsin Y. M. G. A
has been comforting with the members
of the National Y. M. G. A. Commit
tee on army work, in Chicago, reports
that the Y M. G. A. of America, will
play similar role to the European or
CARNATIONS in establishing branches at
all training stations. In this work Wis
cOnsin Y. NJ. G. A. officials are now
planning to take part. There will be
meeting in Milwaukee on May 18th,
to which representatives from all Wis
consin cities have been invited and
which will consider plans of how Wis
consin can best arrange to do her part
in this great work.
The War and Navy Departments are
looking to the Y. M. G. A. to establish
branches and provide buildings and
equipment for all training camps and
mobilization centers. The basis of this
work will be one Y. M. G. A. building
with the usual equipment for every
5000 troops, and one secretary for ev-
cry 1000 men. This will require the
establishment of 200 branches in the
event of the raising of an army of one
million soldiers. Tt was definitely de-
termined by the officials at Chicago
that there would be four Y. M. G. A.
branches established at the Great Lakes
Training Station as soon as possible.
The world is familiar with the i'm
portant service that the Y. M. G. A.
has performed in the military camps of
Europe by furnishing reading mate
rial and social centers for the soldiers
when they are off duty. Kenosha PEG
pie will be pleased that they will have
an opportunity in helping to do the
same thing for the American boys who
will be in training or serve at the
front.

and in company with Art Stein, an
other one of the enthusiastic sailors,
he is leaving today to join the forces
aboard the revenue cutter Tuscor-
roras for the preliminary training to
enter the United States navy. Com
modore Schultz has been considered
something Of water dog about
Kenosha for some time and since the
outbreak of the war he has been
anxious to be among the enlisted men.
Schultz will have lot of company on
the cutter as this morning Chester
Isermann, Everett Johnson and Frank
Bostetter left to join the crew of the
Tuscorroras. All Of these men expect

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST A1ELLo
italian Arrested Here as Suspect in
Blackhand Threat is Released
on Friday.

Frank Aiello of Balm station, arrest
ed on Thursday night following the
arrest of Frank M. Consulate in Chi
cage on charges Of sending threatening
letter to Vincenzo Litzzo of Balm sta
ton, was released by the Kenosha
police officers ON Friday. They held
that no evidence had been discovered
which would warrant the holding Of
Aiello. The accused man declared that
he knew nothing in regard to the at
TENT to extort money from Litzzo. The
post Office inspectors interested in the
prosecution of the case, did not come to
Kenosha and Chief O'Hare held that
it would be unfair to Aiello to hold
him further. Consulate has not as yet
been arraigned in Chicago.

AMENDoLA ASKS PAROLE.

Frank Amendola, sentenced to a
term of one year in the state prison in
the Circuit Court here on October 10th
Of last year following conviction on
charges of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm, has appealed to the
State Board of Control and the hear
ing of his appeal is to come before the
board at the meeting set for May 22nd.
Amendola was charged with stabbing
Angelo Anibili and it was alleged at
the time of the trial of the case that
there was very strong provocation.
Judge Belden has received copy of
the appeal for the release of Amendola
and it is probable that he will not
oppose it.

PIONEER WOMAN DEAD.
Mrs. Mary Ayre Smith, First White
Child Born in Kenosha, Dead
In Chicago.

Word has been received here of the
death of Mrs. Mary Aver Smith at Chi
cago, last week. Peculiar interest cen
tiers in the death because Mrs. Smith
had the distinction of being the first
white child born in Southport. Mrs.
Smith recently suffered a serious fall
and death came from heart failure Oc-
casioned by the fall.
Mrs. Aver was the first of seven
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Elbridge G.
Aver, who at this time were residing in
Southport. She was born in the sum-
mer of 1885, thus being the first child
born in this community as attested by
Wallace Wyatt in His First Settle
ment of Kenosha'

Clean Up Campaign
To Be Started
"Clean up Week to Be Superseded
by Longer Campaign-Decided by Re-
tailers and Committee from Council.

To start May Ia, Kenosha is to have
a regular cleanup campaign waged con-
tinually from now on. This was de-
cided yesterday at joint meeting of
a committee from the city council and
the Kenosha Retailers association. The
old idea of cleanup week was thrown
to the winds, as IL was felt that if it is
q good thing for Kenosha to be cleaned
up during one week of the year it
would be a much better thing to keep
our city clean all the time.
The campaign is to be inaugurated
during the week of Mey 14th to 10Th
inclusive, but the proposition will not
be dropped after that time, as it has
been in the past. That will be only
the beginning. During that week spec
ial arrangements will be made by the
city to haul awav all rubbish, cans,
etc, free of charge and wagons will be
secured subject to the call of any resi-
dent, to haul away ashes. But the resi-
dent will have to pay for this service
of hauling ashes. This was decided
upon because of the fact that many
people have already hauled their ashes
and disposed of them, so that it was
considered to be unfair to these for
the City to now haul away free ashes
accumulated by those who had done
nothing towards having this matter at
tended to. However, the City is not
going to tolerate ashes being neglected
or in fact any rubbish or garbage.
Any place that has not cleaned up
and had rubbish, ashes, garbage, ETC.,
disposed of by the end Of the first week
of the cleanup campaign will be subject
to the city's doing it for them. Same
will be charged against the taxes.
Mr.. Wright, health commissioner,
warned the joint committee yesterday
that there was grave danger as soon as
warm weather set in from the infantile
paralysis plague, and that the middle
west would suffer far more than the
east and to much greater extent than
was the case last year in this district.
This he said was the general opinion of
the medical authorities. And if Ke-
nosha does not cleanup and keen clean
and do everything possible to protect
the children those In authority will he
greatly to blame for the intense suf-
fering that is very likely to follow"
he continued.
The Kenosha, Retailers association
will have charge of the advertising and
promotion of the campaign, while the
city will provide the teams and men to
do the free hauling, and will work
through their alderman and street COM
missioners in warning the people what
has to be done. The city fathers are
bound that every nook and corner of
Kenosha shall be cleaned up and clean
ed thoroughly, and not onl" that, but
have made up their minds that it shall
stay clean. In this determination they
are heartily encouraged and supported
by the Health department, who say it
is absolutely necessary for the sake of
protection.

MAY EFFECT DRAFT here
Lists Show Only "a From Kenosha =
Officers Here Claim More Than 100
Have Been Sent to Milwaukee sta
tion-Kenosha Giving 800 Men.


Local recruiting officers are complain
1ng. They declare that they are not
getting square deal from the govern
ment recruiting Offices i'll Milwaukee
and that the men who are being sent
from Kenosha to serve in the navy are
not being properly credited to this city.
The weekly report of the recruiting
station sent to Kenosha on Friday,
shows but twenty-four recruits from
Kenosha in the big drive made during
the last few months and the local Of
6cials claim that Kenosha has furnish
ed considerably over hundred men
and that the city should be ere
dited with them
When the men fail to get into the
navy, at the Milwaukee station said
NV j. Frazier, who is deputy recruit
ing officer, "they are turned over to
the army and Kenosha is not given
credit for any of these men,
Frazier holds that proper credit for
recruited men is decidedly important to
Kenosha on account of the fact that
it will cut materially the men to be
taken from the city when the selective
draft is made, Tn fact Kenosha has
given SO many men to the navy and to
the army by regular enlistments and
by muster to the two militia units
that there is doubt, as to whether or
not the first call for the draft would
mean demand for any men from
KenOsha Mr.. Frazier asserts that
many men who were recruited in Keno
sha and whose residence had long been
in this city are credited to Milwaukee
ON the recruiting lists.
Every man who enlists in the army
or navy should make his application
right here in Kenosha We want Keno
sha to make the best possible showing
In the patriotic response to the call for
the defense of the nation, y said
Frazier, and we can not do this if a
lot Of our soldiers are accredited to
Chicago and Milwaukee. Weekly lists
of the recruits are now being for
warded to Kenosha and every man
should stand on his rights and insist
that his home residence be given"
Postmaster German who is active in
securing recruits, has made no com
Iplaint, but he admits that Kenosha is
not given the prrper credit.
With hundred and twenty men sent
to the army and navy through recruit
ing stations in Chicago and Milwaukee
with more than one hundred and fifty
men enlisted for the cavalry and the
infantry, five for service on the French
front, four in the navy wireless service
and six in the aviation corps, it will be
seen that Kenosha has furnished pretty
nearly three hundred men since the big
effort was started to- secure recruits
Kenosha has probably furnished as
many men for the navy as any city in
Wisconsin outside of Milwaukee.
Local recruiting officers were in Mil
wapkee today demanding that the city
be given credit for every man sent
from here for the various arms of the
army and navy service.
