RECEIVERS AUTOMOBILE
STOLEN IN RACINE
John I. Chester Proves to be His Own
Detective and Police Officer
in Interesting Case.

John I. Chester and his family went
to Racine in their automobile Sunday
and drove down to the Horlick Park
about three thirty in the afternoon.
Twenty minutes later the machine had
disappeared. Mr.. Chester secured an
other auto and started for the nearest
phone to notify the police. In going
up the Liberty street hill he saw his
car coming, driven by boy. He fol
lowed and caught up to the machine
and captured the boy. The youth was
turned over to Patrolman LaChappelle
and he was taken to the police office.
1t developed that the boy, after TAX
ing the machine, drove it down on
State street. In backing up in front
of the sample room of DeLosh Bros,
564 State street, he crashed into a
plate glass window and wrecked it.
The father of the boy was notified and
promised to settle all damages so Mr..
Chester refused to prosecute him. The
boy was implicated some time ago in
the theft of an automobile, but was
placed on probation to Alderman Mill
err. The boy with him at that time was
sent to prison. The name of the boy
does not appear on the police book.

BLIND MAN "SEES".
VALUE OF BONDS
Dr.. TT. J. Arnold, Blind Osteopath,
Takes Liberal Chunk of Liberty Loan
So That His Money Can Fight.

"Even blind man can see the value
of Liberty Bond and the duty of an
American citizen to purchase one'' was
the sentiment of DR.. Ell. J. Arnold, the
blind osteopath physician of Kenosha,
as on Monday afternoon he entered the
office of Secretary Kaiser of the Cham
Der of Commerce and made application
for liberal chunk of Liberty Loan. DR..
Arnold was the first to have his name
written on the Honor Roll in the office
of the Chamber of Commerce and re-
joiced that though blind he could have
some part in the great war for democ-
racy. "This is but one instance of the
universal response which we expect to
have if we do our part in supporting
the government in this crisis, = said Sec
rotary Kaiser as he slowed away the
cash which accompanied the application.

KNIGHTS BUY BONDS.

Past State Deputy Walter Burke of
the Kenosha council of the Knights of
Columbus, has just received COM
munication from the Supreme Council
of the order in America that it will
purchase $3.50, 1000 worth of the second
issue Of Liberty bonds. In addition to
this every local council in the United
States is urged to start in its credit
as far as possible to buy the maximum
of bonds and support the administra-
tion and the cause of liberty in this
great crisis. Officials Of the local coun-
Gil have also received word that the
state Knights have already donated
more than $4,000 of the 100000
which they are raising to help in the
war work of the council among the
soldiers at the camps and in the field

START NEW HOSPITAL
WEDNESDAY MORNING
Immel Company has Contract and Work
Will be Rushed to an Early Com
nletion Before Spring.

The contract for the new city isola-
ton hospital to be located on the
grounds of the Kenosha hospital, was
signed on Monday afternoon and the
Immel Construction Company will start
work on the new building on Wednes-
day morning with the understanding
that it is to be rushed to completion
and to be ready for occupancy by the
early spring. The general contract, ex-
elusive of heating, plumbing and cleo
trical work, is $4,000 and it is esti-
mated that the cost of these items viii
be in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
This will leave the committee some four
thousand dollars to provide for the
furnishing and equipment Of the new
hospital. Contractor Immel expects to
have the building under roof before the
winter weather puts an end to the
building season. He has assured the
committee that there will be no "loaf-
ing on the job" and that the hospital
will be ready at the earliest possible
moment.

THREATEN TO REVOKE
EXEMPTIONS GRANTED
County Board Of Exemptions Finds
That Men Left Behind are Prov
ing "Slackers'' in War Work.

Threats to revoke exemptions, grant
ed on industrial claims and all men so
exempted into the military service
were made by the members of the
county exemption board this morning
and members of the board have been
detailed to make Investigations of a
score of cases in which it is alleged
that industrial exemptions were grant
ed to men who are not work. s9These
men were told, = said Thomas Fleming
a member of the board, "that if they
were exempted from military service
they could be expected to back up the
boys who went to war with the right
kind of work at home. Some of them
are not working. Others have refused
to aid the Red Cross and other similar
organizations, they have refused to
buy Liberty Loan bonds. We want
these fellows to understand that they
have to get behind this war at home
or we will revoke the exemptions and
insist that they go right along and fight
in the army. I have already told some
of them just what the county exemp-
tion board expects to do and tLey have
to make the choice and make it now. -

ASSAULTED LITTI.E eIRA.

The town of Somers was considerably
aroused on Thursday on account Of the
report Of an alleged assault made by a
tramp on an eleven-year-old schoolgirl
living along the Wood Road three miles
north Of Kenosha. The case was re-
ported to Sheriff Hermann but he has
declined to give out the name Of the
little girl, declaring that the members
of the family are anxious to save her
from the publicity attending the case.
The man is alleged to have met the lit
tie girl as she was on her way to school.
The child shouted for help and the man
ran as a pedestrian came up along the
road He is alleged to have hidden in
the bushes along the road until late in
the afternoon when he escaped. Sheriff
Hermann and his deputies spent sew
eral hours searching the roads for the
man but found no trace Of him. The
little girl was not seriously injured
People in the neighborhood declared
that if the man had been found he
would have been beaten if not lynched.

WORTHLESS CHECK
.JAILS WAUKEGANITES

Andrew Marchin and Victor Hill,
two Wsukegan men, who came to Ke-
nosha for a spree Saturday, picked
out fast and sure path to land in the
cooler when they attempted to pay for
their drinks at a north side saloon by
cashing cancelled check for $62.97.
The check, drawn on Waukegan bank
by the Suomi Grocery Company, was
dated July II, 1912, and had stamped
clearly upon it the date of its pay
ment and was endorsed by A. w. Elk.
Patrolmen Kramer and Borden, who
happened to be sent Co that address
on a dog scare, just happened in the
saloon IN time Saturday afternoon to
show the confused proprietor of the
saloon that the check was worthless
and to arrest the two men on charges
of gaining money under false pre-
lenses. Marchin revealed when he was
searched that he had no money to paw
for the drinks and they "were on the
house, At the police station the only
explanation that Marchin offered was
that he had found the check and sup
posed that it was alright. He faced
the judge late this afternoon for 1T
tempting to pass a worthless check
while Hill was charged with being &C
cessary to the fact, but action on the
case had not been taken at the time
the paper went to press.

If some of those people who are more
than exercised over the share the farmer
has in the thirteen cent milk, would
take one of their eight-eylindered ears
and go through Kenosha and Racine
counties, and study conditions, they
would find much food for thought. They
would see corn uncut, standing frosted
and down. Potatoes undug, and every
thing generally showing lack of proper
labor. The government has called up
on US to produce, to conserve, to can
and care for the result of our labor,
and we have responded. I have seen

the burden of a large garden and have
worked as they never worked before.

BERNARD JACOBSEN
JOINS SCHOOL BOARD
Fourth Warder Named as Member of
the Board to Succeed Benjamin
Rrndell Who Gave Up Office.

Bernard M. Jacobsen, we'll known
fourth warder, will join the Board of
Education at its next regular meet
ing as he was unanimously elected a
member Of the board at the meeting of
the Common Council held on Monday
evening. He succeeds Benjamin Run
dell who is now off doing his nation s
work at the training camp at Ft. Sheri-
dan. When Rundell joined the forces
at the training camp at Ft. Sheridan
the Board of Education granted him a
leave Of absence in order that he might
take the training. He elected to re-
main for the second school and he mo-
titled the board some time ago that he
would prefer to have his place declared
vacant that the ward might be prop
erly represented on the board. The
members of the school board reluctantly
took this action at the last meeting
and the place was declared vacant.
Commissioner Jacobsen is widely known
among the people of the fourth
ward. He has taken an active
interest in public affairs for many years
and it is certain that he will make an
excellent commissioner. No other can
didate for the Office was proposed
to the council and the clerk cast the
unanimous vote.

SUCCESS MAKES PROSPERITY
z G.. Simmons Shows That Subscription
Is Vital to- Victory and General Pros
perity-M Money Stays in This Coun-
try - Meetings at Factories.

Representing every important indus
try in the city of Kenosha, twenty
determined patriots met at the Chamber
Of Commerce rooms at 11:00 A. M. on
Monday to pledge the support of their
respective factories to the second Lib
erty Loan and lay plans whereby their
employees might be induced to invest
in government bonds. Superintendent
Of manufacturing plants, they were men
who understood that the stability of in
dustry in the United States depends upon
the success of the Liberty Loan and
who were consequently anxious to Sc
cure an over-subscriptio for Kenosha.
r. F. Kaiser presided but 2. G. Simmons
made the principal speech of the morn
ing meeting.
Mr.. Simmons emphasized especially
the practical side of the Liberty Loan.
!" Money Nj invested in government
bonds, he said, ";s kept in the United
States and is consequently insuring
prosperity for our present business and
industrial life. Even money loaned to
our allies does not leave the borders
of our own country but is extended to
Russia, France, and England, in the
form of credit accounts on which NUM-
tions and supplies are bought from
American producers. In this way and
in this way only can our government
accord financial support to the allied
powers without disturbing the equilib-
rum Of our industries. Consequently
labor and capital alike is vitality inter
ested in the success, of the second loan
and should assist the government in
floating it by buying as many bonds
as possible on cash or borrowed money.
If we mobilize our dollars and our
credit Uncle Sam will have no difficulty
inf modification of his armies and de-
Tending our factories
Mr.. Simmons talk was received with
enthusiasm and resulted in the immedi-
ate formulation of plans. Arrange
ments were made for Liberty Loan
meetings in Paris on Thursday evening
with w. Ell. Afford presiding, in Pleas
ant Prairie on Wednesday evening with
G. G. Brown in charge, in Somers and
Twin Lakes. at later dates with several
speakers in attendance. Representa-
tives of the Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany announced that that institution
would conduct a bond-service on Thurs
day, while delegates from the American
Brass Company disclosed arrangements
for speeches at their factory in italian,
Lithuanian and Polish. Preparations of
this sort indicate clearly that Kenosha
industry is united in it's support Of the
Liberty Loan and is doing everything in
it's power to insure a patriotic patronage
by all classes of people in all parts of
the city.

KENOSHA SOLDIERS
IN NEED OF SMOKES
Captain in Command of Men at Battle
Greek Declares Boys Want Lit
tie Luxuries Right Now.

Tie Luxur1eS Right NOW.
Captain Angler, who is in command
Of the company to (which most of the
Kenosha boys have been assigned at
Battle Creek, has sent an appeal to
the people of Kenosha for "'luxuries.
He ctipulates that luxuries mean some
thing to smoke and some candy to fill
up the sweet tooth and little Jam
and Jelly now and then to remind the
boys of home eating. Detroit has
shown a willingness to adopt some of
the Kenosha boys and contributions Of
three hundred dollars have been made
by that city toward the fund to
furnish the boys with smokes and
candy This has not been enough.
The ghost has not walked for the Ke-
nosha boys as yet and without pay
they have been forced to deny them
elves lot of little comforts which
they had been accustomed to at home.
Captain Angler declares that the Ke-
nosha men are good soldiers and that
they are entitled to every consideration
that can be given them by the folks
back home. The rush of goodies and
smokes from Kenosha has all been
toward Waco and not toward Battle
Creek and the people are urged to hear
this call Of the national army soldiers.
Twenty of the soldiers who went from
Kenosha will be transferred to Waco
during the coming week but the names
Of these men have not been made public.
