Would Hold Loyalty
Meeting in Kenos11a
Milwaukee Promoter Calls on Promin-
ent Kenoshan Men to Hold Meet
ing to Show City's Loyalty.

Evidently up in Milwaukee there is
some doubt as to the loyalty of Keno
sha in connection with the big national
events which are now taking place and
Ellis B. Usher, who has been leader
in the movement for defense in Wis
consin, has appealed to a number of
the prominent men of Kenosha urging
that big mass meeting be held at
which Kenosha people will proclaim
their loyalty TO the government. Ke-
nosha men have frowned on the move
ment and have rather CURLY informed
Mr.. Usher that there is mo reason for
the holding of such a meeting in Ke-
nosha on account Of the fact that the
loyalty of Kenosha has never been
questioned. The state organization is
planning to hold meetings of this nat,
ure In a score Of cities in Wisconsin.
They are to be patterned after the
meeting recently held in Milwaukee
It is certain that it is very improbable
that such a meeting will be held here.

FREIGHT CAR IS ROBBED.

Freight car thieves are working in
Kenosha again and report was made
to the police this morning that a car in
the Northwestern yards within stones
throw of the freight depot was broken
into by thieves some time Tuesday
night or this morning and several pairs
of shoes taken. The car was loaded
with merchandise and it is possible
that the thieves secured very valuable
booty. The police have no clew to the
identity of the thieves. Special detec-
tives of,the Northwestern company have
been working in Kenosha for some time
on account of reported thefts from cars.
It is claimed that an organized gang
of thieves have been stealing from cars
along the north shore but few of these
crimes have been reported from Ke-
nosha. 1t is said that Merchandise to
the value of several hundred dollars
has been taken.

FINAL DECISION ON MONDAY
J. D. Chubb, Chicago, r. A. Messmer
Milwaukee, Fl. H. Hahn and Joseph
Lindl Are Four Architects Who Are
to Get Second Chance at Contract.

Six of the ten architects who have
sought the contract to make plans for
the new Kenosha grade school building
were eliminated by the vote of the
board of education at special meeting
held at the city hall on Tuesday even
ing and on next Monday evening the
members of the board will formally Sc
lect plan from the remaining sketches
before it. The architects who will have
another chance to convince the board of
the merits Of the plans they have sug-
gested included John D. Chubb of Chi
cage, Robert A. Messmer of Milwaukee,
Howard FL. Hahn and Joseph Lindl of
Kenosha. The elimination Of architects
was made by secret ballot. After an
hour Is discussion of all ten of the plans
and the discovery that pretty nearly
every one of the plans had one or more
supporters it was decided to eliminate
six architects. On the ballot, in
which four architects were named
Chubb received twelve votes, Messmer
eleven and Hahn and Lindl ten each.
Next Monday night each Of the archi-
tects will have 9, chance to appear and
after this hearing the board will form
ally vote for a final selection Of the
plans.
The board has decided that the build
ing shall be of firNproof construction
and that instead of having both an au-
ditorium and a gymnasium that it shall
have a gymnasium and auditorium com
bined. In addition to this combination
room there will be twelve class rooms.
Tt is admitted that not one of the plans
suggested provide for building which
can be built within the seventy-five
thousand dollar appropriation. Mem
bers of the board are convinced that
even if the cost of the building exceeds
the original limit set that the building
must be made to meet the ultimate de-
mands of the portion of the city in
which it is to be located.
It is planned to start work on the
building not later than the middle of
May and with favorable weather it
should be under roof before the opening
of winter. Tt is possible that it will be
completed and ready for use by the sec
ond semester in 1918.
Little other business of Importance
was taken up at the meeting. Final
bills for the Lincoln School were
brought in and referred to committees
AS some of the contracts have not been
completed these bills have not been or.
dered paid.
Featured at the meeting was the re
turn of George Wallis Of the Second
ward to membership on the Board
Commissioner Wallis has always been
considered strong member and he was
given a great welcome by fellow mem
bers of the board.

EX[R
wilson Must
Offer Some
Definite Pan
(By Robert j. Bender)
(By United Press.)

Washington March 2s. - Presi-
dent Wilson will have to be posi-
lively definite as to details of just
what he wants from Congress. This
is the impression here today. A
vast majority of the forty per cent
of the new congressman who are
here for the opening of the session
on Monday feel that way about it.
They say that if in his "war mes
sage" the President shows any in
clination to be too general or g tim
idly suggestive" as to what he
wants that there will be opposi-
tion to the program which may re-
suit in long delays.
