ARRESTED IN MILWAUKEE,.
Man Who Found Overcoat and
Shoes in Kenosha Held by the Mil
waukee Police Department.

A man who gave his name as Matt
Slingerland was arrested by the police
of Milwaukee on Monday evening and
he is being held pending an investiga-
ton. He had a new overcoat and
pair Of new shoes in addition to his
regular clothing and he informed the
Milwaukee officers that he found the
clothes in Kenosha. He further de-
clared that he had just completed serv-
ing term OF twenty DAYS N the county
Jail here and that he had been released
on last Saturday night. Matt Wielbes,
one of the men arrested in connection
with the recent troubles at the ice
houses, was released after a twenty
day term on last Saturday night and
it is thought possible that he may be
the man under arrest in Milwaukee.

FOR ARTIFICIAL ICE PLANT.
Chicago Man Seeking to Interest Capt.
tai for Such Venture in Kenosha
This Year.

J. W. johnson Of Chicago is in Keno
sha seeking to interest local capital in
a plan for the building of an artificial
ice plant. He has taken the matter
up with Racine men and he is hopeful
of establishing plant which will insure
a supply of ice for the two cities. The
claim is made that with the plant lee
can be produced as cheaply as it can
be harvested from the lakes and that it
has the added advantage of being abso
lutely pure. Many of these plants
have been established in larger cities
in recent years. The plan of Mr.. john
son includes the sale of stock in the
plantsto the men of the two cities.
The company behind the movement
has number of successful plants in
operation as far north as st. Paul and
Duluth, where formerly the idea Of max
ing artificial ice was considered i'm
practicable. It is possible that a COM
mittet Of Kenosha men interested III
the project, will make tour of inspec-
tion through these plants.

TREASURER HAS 100000 DAY.
City Funds Jumped Hundred Thou
sand in Less Than Two Hours
Collections This Morning.

City Treasurer Martin Steinmetz had
the biggest day in the history Of tax
collecting in Kenosha this morning
when the receipts mounted to over
100000 in two hours. Two Of the big
factories in the city contributed more
than $4,000 to the big total and the
rest was made up by the payment of
some Of the big items of the income
tax. The receipts for the day will go
far over the hundred thousand dollar
mark. Factories in the city are not
going to hang out this year until the
last day set by the council for the pay
ment of taxes and the taxes OF all the
big concerns are expected to reach the
treasurer either TO-DAY or tomorrow. The
big concerns have taken this action on
account of the fact that the income
taxes were all due and payable on Mon
day night and they were unwilling to
take the chance Of the added two per
cent penalty. Monday was the last day
for the collection of the income tax
and nearly all of the large amounts
were received.

FIRST NATIONAL
LIGHTS "SQUARE'

The people who happened to be
down on Market Square last night had
something of puzzle to solve. They
found big region about the new First
National Bank simply flooded with
light and they could not account for it.
All along the north and east sides of
the bank the light was just like bright
day light and it was as easy to "see
a pin and pick it up'' as it is when
old Sol is shining brightly in the mid
die of the day. The lights made the
Bedford stone bank building stick out
like beacon on the streets. It all
came about on account of the fact that
last night was the first night that the
flood lights had been turned on the
bank. Eight of these great prism
lights are placed on the Epstein build
ing and four others on the Stern
building and they concentrate their
light on the bank building. The lights
are to be turned on at six O'Clock
every evening and they are to burn
until eleven O'Clock. The new lights
are going to contribute a lot to the
lighting up of the square. The cost of
maintaining the lights is a contribu-
tion Of the First National Bank to a
better lighted business district for
Kenosha. It is not improbable that
other property owners in the down
town district will adopt similar plan.

EASE UP ON EMBARGO.
Kenosha Shippers are Beginning to See
Possibility of Normal Conditions
On Roads.

With the lifting of the freight EN-
barge on carload shipments Friday to
many shipping points in the east and
south by the railroads, Kenosha ship
pers are once more beginning to see
possibilities for normal operations,
especially as such shipping pertains to
the various industries of the city. For
nearly two months very few carload
lot shipments were permitted to be
billed to eastern and southern points,
and in consequence many of the fac
tories here were pinched for space in
which to store products they were I'M
able to ship.
There also has been difficulty in Sc
curing materials, especially iron in car
load lots and oil for fuel of FORCES, etc,
in Kenosha plants. With the partial
lifting of the embargo today it is pre-
dicted that much of the difficulty will
now be overcome.

TO WRITE
KENOSHA LIMERICK
Kenosha Poets are Asked to Show
Their Best Work in Verses to
Boost Home Exposition.

With the exception of one or tive
cases of reservation, all booth spaces
in the Retailers Association Home
Exposition and 1917 Style Show have
been sold and the most satisfactory
point of the show is that the local
merchants have taken nearly all the
spaces and although a number of ma
tional advertisers win be represented,
it viii be through their cooperation
with some local representative.
|. President Johnson of the Retailers
Association, is very much pleased with
the outlook for successful show and
remarked this morning, cit is certain
ly gratifying to note the hearty CO.
operation displayed by our members
and the merchants in general, towards
making the Home Exposition and 1917
Style Show a huge success and it marks
another step in the progress of the
Retailers Association"
In order to stimulate interest and at
the same time give the readers of the
News chance to win themselves some
complimentary tickets to the Exposi-
ton, the committee will conduct a
Limerick contest during all next week
whereby something like twenty-five
season tickets will be sent out to the
makers of the best Limerick in praises
of the coming Exposition and Style
Show.
There are no set rules governing the
Limerick contest except that it pertains
to the Home Exposition and consists
! of one verse only. All Limericks should
be written on a plain piece of paper,
with nothing else on the paper but the
/ address of the author. The committee
will act as the judges and reserves the
/ right to use any or all of the submitted
Limericks. The contest is open to
/ everybody, regardless of age or sex,
and all Limericks should be addressed
! to the Limerick Committee, Home Elk
position Headquarters, Room No. 3,
| Chamber of Commerce Building, and
as the judges pick out the best Lime
ricks, which will be judged according
to c1everDess, style of wording and
praise of The Home Exposition and 1917
Style Show, but one of the essential
points will be originality.
As an illustration of what a Limerick
on the Home Exposition is, the follow
ing is an idea:
The Retailers Home Exposition
And early Spring Style exhibition,
Will be a great show,
And well worth the dough,
Ten cents pays the bill of admission
To the authors of the best ten Lime
ricks submitted, will be mailed by the
committee two season tickets for the
Home Exposition and good for every
afternoon and evening during the
show. To the authors of the next ten,
most appropriate Limericks, will be
mailed one season ticket for the Home
Exposition and Style Show, good for
any afternoon and evening.
There are no more rules tor red tape
to the contest so all that will be re-
quired for you to do is to send in your
Limerick to the headquarters and watch
the Evening News for the results, The
results will be given in the columns
Immediately upon the decision of the
judges.

KENOSHA AT THE
CHICAGO SHOW

cone feature of the automobile
show of particular interest is the in
PRODUCTION Of new, powerful factor
in automobile affairs, the Nash Motors
Company, headed by Charles w.
Nash, says the motor editor of the
Chicago American.
'Sinee Mr.. Nash, until recently
president of the General Motors Com
pany, purchased the great plant at
Kenosha, which manufactures Jeffrey
automobiles and trucks, interest in the
progress of this new corporation has
been general.
lit is realized by both the trade
and the public that the combination
of G. w. Nash, recognized as one Of
the foremost automobile and manu-
facturers in the United States, and the
gigantic plant at Kenosha, is certain
to result in development Of great i'm
portance to the motor ear world.
.The policy of Mr.. Nash, as demon
strated in his active guidance of the
General Motors Company to a yearly
earning of $2S,S12, 2S1.96 is the man
ufacture of automobiles and trucks
on huge scale.
cit is his conviction that only a
tremendous output, with its obvious
advantages in cost of materials and
manufacturing, makes possible the
building of an automobile or truck
which represents superior value; that
tremendous advantage accrues to
the manufacturer who can buy
materials in large quantities, and
whose plant is actually equipped to
manufacture these materials into fin
ished products.
Gin the immense Jeffrey factory
Mr.. Nash has plant that is ideally
equipped for the immediate adoption
Of his ideas in manufacture. The plant
covers one hundred acres of ground.
It has thirty-two acres under roof, and
employs three thousand skilled me-
chanics. The mechanical equipment is
of the finest, totaling over fourteen
hundred different types of modern ma
chimes, including a battery of drop
forge hammers, automatic gear cutters,
six-spindle fy-wheel lathes, multiple
drills, etc. This factory is equipped
to build cars and trucks, ninety-three
per cent in their entirety, within
its own walls.
GA typical Nash organization has
been installed and the wonderful equip
ment has been amplifed and is work
ing in accordance with the well known
Nash plan Of progressive manufacture.
Among other added features is gi-
gantic new foundry.
"Under the new program every
thing is arranged on much broader
basis, insurings a much bigger produc-
ton. The daily production schedule
has already been doubled and will
be rapidly increased throughout the
coming year.
"Since the Nash Motors Company
acquired the Jeffrey business many
important additions have been made
to the selling end of the business, and
the factory is daily besieged by
representative dealers from all parts
of the country, who have been at
tracted by the records made by COM
panies headed by Mr. Nash.
GA complete line of commercial
vehicles, including the famous Jeffrey
Quad, will be manufactured by the
Nash Motors Company, in addition
to pleasure cars.

MUST NOT DECEIVE PEOPLE
Inspector DR.. w. E. Nelson Gives No.
tice to All Dealers Misrepresentation
Regarding Eggs Will Be Followed
by Prosecutions in Court.

'fStrictly Fresh" when it is a sign
above eggs in. Kenosha it is going to
mean something in the future as the
city health department through the
work of Inspector DIR. w. r. Nelson
this morning started movement to
supervise the sale of eggs in Kenosha
and to protect the people against I'M
fair trading. Every dealer in eggs in
the city is being notified that eggs sold
by him must not be misrepresented and
that if he sells storage or warehouse
eggs to the people, they must be sold
as storage and not "strictly fresh y
eggs.
DR.. Nelson has gone carefully into
the law and he declares that the sale
of storage eggs under the "strictly
fresh caption is violation Of the
food laws and that the man who makes
such sales may be convicted and fined
twenty-five dollars and the costs of the
action for each offense.
The signs "Strictly Fresh" have
been used in many places in Kenosha
and Inspector Nelson insists that in
many of these cases the sign was
placed on storage eggs. It is expected
that within the next few days the
courts of the city will be called upon
to answer the question, "When is an
egg strictly fresh9"
Kenosha is not going to pioneer this
new field of protecting the people
against the sale of ancient eggs as al
ready several cities of the state and
in other states the law is being en-
forced and dealers are being forced to
give their customers, on demand, some
assurance that eggs are really fresh.
"Under the present conditions it is
important to look after the marketing
of eggs said DR.. Nelson this morning,
"and we are sending out a formal no.
tice to all dealers that the eggs must
not be misrepresented. Careful inves-
LEGATIONS which have been made indi-
cate that strictly fresh is something
of a rarity in Kenosha. Of course a
lot of eggs which are near fresh are
just about as good as the stridkly fresh
article but they are sold under the
wrong label and with forty to fifty
cents a dozen for a price the people are
entitled to know just what they are
getting. Kenosha IS egg supply is
largely made up of storage and ware
house eggs. In some cases the dealers
sell these eggs as storage eggs. In
most cases no mention of the ware
house is made. It is rather remarkable
that only a few of the eggs from the
nests in Kenosha county reach local
dealers. Most of them are either
shipped into storage houses in Chicago
or they are sold direct from the farm
to the home. We do not intend to
make this enforcement of the law OBJ
noxious or to bubble about small de-
tails, but we are going to insist that
storage eggs be not marked strictly
fresh'.'
The inspection department of the
health department is branching out
into several lines of work which are
aimed at better production of food
products and dealers will be advised of
these movements before prosecutions
for violations of state laws and city
ordinances are made.

They did not send information as to how

SEVEN BILLION MAY PASS
 THIS WEEK
International News Service.


 WASHINGTON, April 16.--It is ex- pected that by the end of this week, the senate will concur with the house on the seven billion bond issue bill. The bill is now undergoing the in vestigation of the senate finance com mittee.
 The unanimous vote of the house is supposed to influence the senate in passing this bill without any unneces- sary delays So far as is known the bil. will meet with no opposition worthy of mention.
 Some amendments will perhaps be offered, but a canvas of the members, leads to the belief that like the house, the senate will pass the bill in it's original form.
 Imbued with this idea, the adminis- tration is forming expeditions plans, for the early placing of these bonds and certificates.
