ton Into Acacia Club Which Proves
Big Feature of the Program Funds
to Pay off Temple Debt.

Scores of Kenosha Masons, many OF
them attended by their wives, went out

the county and it is made up Of half a
hundred of the most prominent of the

ing country.

spices of the club took the form of a
& /" carnival and all the features of a

home of Harvey B. Gaines and more
than six hundred people attended.
There were all sorts Of entertainments
offered from the familiar "Knock the
Baby Down and Get Cigar to tents
for Men Only which offered mys-
teries galore at the rate Of dime for
each.

ranged for the evening was the initia-
tion of candidate into the mysteries
of Acacia. A dozen Of the most promi-
nent men of Bristol, CARRIED in fantastic
robes and with all the symbols Of mys-
ticism put on the initiation.
Fred Lavey was in the roll of Super
latus and he introduced comedy enough
into his role to make it a real hit dur
ing the entire evening. The initiation
was the vehicle by which the members
Of the club made a lot of happy local
hits and kept the crowd in an uproar.
The luckless candidate for degrees was
put through all sorts of stunts and en-
dured all sorts of hardships before he
successfully rode the goat and got his
badge of membership.

the kind that mother used to make
and the kitchens of Bristol offered their
best for this first entertainment of the
club and there were plenty of pur-
chasers,
The club plans to be real force in
the village of Bristol. One Of the first
movements thai it will get behind is

tion. It is hoped that practically ev-
cry citizen of the village will be en-
listed to membership.

bruised By being dragged along the
pavement of the street. Later Len
cioni was cared for at the Office of a
physician in the Public Service, build
ing and taken to his home. He asked
the police to secure the arrest of Monte

Volunteers II, Many
Are Called to Col0rs
tackles Recently Enlisted in Govern
ment Service are Rapidly Re-
ceiving Orders to Report.

Kenosha boys who recently enlisted
in the navy and who have been at
their homes awaiting the call to the
colors, are being called into active
service as rapidly as facilities at
the various training stations make
their training possible.
One hundred seamen and twenty hos
pital apprentices from Wisconsin and
upper Michigan, enlisted during the last
two months, have been notified to re-
port at the Milwaukee navy recruiting
station sometime in July" for trans
fer to a training station somewhere
in America. The calling of these
men in groups of from fifty to one
hundred is speedily cutting down the
waiting list, and it is expected that
all men now awaiting orders will soon
be in training
Among the Kenosha boys whom this
latest order has called are Frank J.
Rice, 1859 Pearl street; Roy T. Stacey,
SCI Symmonds street; Joseph Waraska,
1017 Market street; and Louis A. VIM
dorf, 500 Fremont avenue. These young
men will be put through the necessary
training for a period Of from two to
three months, and then transferred
to the high seas.
At all the naval training stations, and
the Great Lakes station at Great
Lakes Ill, especially, recruits are be-
ing rapidly whipped into shape for duty
aboard the superdreadaughts, destroy
ers, cruisers, submarine chasers and
other vessels, which constitute the
"frst line of defense.' The facilities
at these stations are being arranged to
care for all men Immediately upon their
enlistment before the summer is over,
and it is thought, that all men will be
transferred to training station when
they enlist within the near future.

Contractor Attacked
By Hod-Carrier
George Linderman is in the Kenosha
Hospital as Result of Injuries
Received in a Fight.

George Linderman, well known Lake
avenue contractor, is in the Kenosha
Hospital suffering from very sore
head. He was taken to the hospital
late Monday afternoon after he had
been felled by blow with an iron bar
in the hands of Charles Bowling, a
hod carrier, employed on the construc-
ton of the new building of the Stand
ard Oil Company at the corner of
Church and South streets. Linderman
has a bad head today but it is declared
at the hospital that his condition is
not regarded as serious.
Late Monday afternoon Linderman
and Bowling became engaged in an
alteration over the possession of a
plank. Blows followed words and
Bowling, who is ffty-three years Of
age and a former resident of Zion City,
picked up an inch iron pipe and struck
Linderman with great force on the top
of the head. The blow rendered Lin
derman unconscious and laid open his
scalp. He was hurried to the hospital
in an ambulance and Bowling was ar
rested and taken to Jail. An examina-
tion Of the injury of Linderman show
ed that his skull had not been fractured.
Bowling was held on charge of
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm. He viii probably not be taken
into court for a hearing until after Lin
derman is able to -eave the hospital.

cERMINARIA Grows WEAKER.
italian Shot by Joseph Gallo on Sun
day May Die From His Wounds
Before the Day Is Over.

Reports from the Kenosha Hospital
in regard to the condition of Peter
Cerminaria who was shot on Sunday
night by Joseph Gallo, are not encour-
aging. The wounded man has been in
a daze for many hours and physicians
attendiIs him fear that he may not
survive the day. He has not been able
to make any further statement in re-
gard to the shooting, although several
of his friends have been at his bedside
and have sought to secure a statement
from him. Gallo is still in the Kenosha
county Jail and no effort was made to
have him taken into court for ar
raignment today. His wife spent con-
siderable time with him during the
day. Gallo himself seems to be I'm
interested as to when the hearing is
held and as yet no attorney has been
retained to look after his interests.
1t is understood that he will plead
self defense.

pFENNIG NAMED CHAIRMAN
A. z. Davies Elected Secretary of Elk.
empti, n Board and Every Card
Signed on DUTY Day. Must Be
Resigned by Members of Board.

Oiling the machinery for drafting
Kenosha s quota Of The army for the
war in Europe, members Of the Keno
sha exemption board, recently appoint
ed by President Wilson, met at the
mayor s office in the City Hall on Sat-
urday night and completed organization
and this morning the monumental work
of planning for the selection of the Ke-
nosha conscripted men began.
Numbers are to be assigned to every
man registered on duty day. These
numbers will run from / to $500 and
they will not follow the alphabetical
order in which the list Of registered
men was prepared following registra-
tion day. Every registration card is
sued in every precinct in the city must
be gone over again and every one of
them must be signed by one of the
members of the registration board.
! This work was started this morning
and several Of the members of the
board will give most Of their time to
the work during he next three days.
According to a telegram received by
the governor late Saturday these prop
erly signed cards must be in the hands
of the state not later than next Satur-
day night.
The assigning of numbers to the men
liable to military service will be a real
lottery. There will be no regular order
followed. The members of the regis
tration board will take the cards at
random and number them from l to
$500 and these numbers will be sent to
Madison and Washington and when the
draft wheel turns some time within the
next thirty days the numbers drawn
will be assigned in Kenosha from the
numbers given to the cards by the
draft board. 1t is probable that when
the registration list is published that
the names will bear the numbers as
signed to them by the exemption board.
A thorough organization of the city
board was completed at the meeting on
Saturday night by the election of May
or Charles I'll. Pfennig as chairman and
A. r. Davies as secretary. Mr.. Davies
will be expected to Go a lot of arduous
work in connection with the craft and
the experience he gained as secretary
of the registration board will be of
great value to him. He is now in
| charge of the numbering of the regis
tration cards.
The organization of the county ex-
emption board has not as yet been com
pleted. County Clerk Russell TT. Jones
received telegram from the governor
on Saturday directing numbering of
cards signed in the county but he was
not named by the president as a memc
Der of the exemption board and he has
turned the matter over to other men
named. Charles FL. Whitcher of Bris-
tol was named as one of the members
of the county board of exemption but
he will be unable to serve on account
of illness and the governor has been
notified and asked to nominate another
member for the board in the county.

alton in Brilliant Project for
Neighborhood Improvement.


A touch of Geld Broadways viii be
given to the west side business district
tomorrow night when hundreds of red,
white and blue arc-hghts will flash a
patriotic radiance on the streets be-
tween Garden and Park on Rowland
avenue ana between Brockett and
Ridge on Market street. The multi
colored briHiance will be reflected In
the general gaiety of the occasion and
it is believed that the event win inaug-
urate an unprecedented summer season
in the thriving business center.
The lights have been strung across
the streets at intervals of twenty or
thirty yards. They are equipped with
lamps of high power ar 1 viii furnish
a brilliant illumination. The color
scheme of red, white and blue win make
their initial appearance an appropriate
celebration of Independence Day and it
is thought that a large crowd viii be
attracted to the west side to see the
innovation. The lamps are already in
place over a large part of the favored
district brit the switch which governs
their flood of radiance will be turned
for the first time on Wednesday even
ing.
The novel enterprise which will re-
suit in this neighborhood improvement
and increased commercial activity is the
project of the Rowland Market Bust
ness Men S association, recently organ
lied among the west side merchants
The officers of the organization, who
are largely responsible for this patri-
.otic display, include: President, DR., G.
Germano; secretary, G. E. Nielsen;
treasurer, Louis Gentle. This is only
one of many attractions planned by
the association in its efforts to make
the life of the west side mere brilliant
ard attractive.

Greater love has no man than that

better inscription could be placed up

that tells of "a self sacrificing nature
the memory of which should be per-
petuated. IF ever there was case
where Carnegie medals and Carnegie
helpfulness would be in order it is in
the case Of Walter Rasmus Jensen.
Such heroism should be recognized

prevent further drownings. If this
place can not be protected against

The council spent an hour discussing
FtCity Planning The joint commit
tee Of the council and the Chamber Of
Commerce brought in some suggestions
in regard to the widening of Wisconsin
street and urged the city to make pro-
vision for the moving of founda-
ton which is being built on the prop
erty of DIR. Helen Harbert at the corner
of West Main and Wisconsin streets.
The committee could not give an esti-
mate of the cost of changing the foun-
dation. A. L. Drury, who appeared for
the committee, declared that it was not
at the present time ready to proceed
with any plan for the widening of the
street, but that it did propose to pre-
vent the erection of costly buildings
which would make the cost of the
widening of the street prohibitive
in the future. The whole matter was
sent back to the committee with
instructions to give the council some
definite idea of the cost.
The aldermen were in session until
long after midnight and the meeting
was featured by many personal clashes
between the aldermen.
