TROSI READY
TO PLEAD GUILTY
Man Charged With Attempt to Murder
Makes Confession to the District
Attorney on Tuesday.

James Tnosi, alias James Perrone,
recently arrested in Brooklyn, New
York, and brought back to Kenosha to
answer a charge of attempting to muir
der James Cicari on the night of
January 18th last, has made full con-
fession to District Attorney Peter
Fisher, Jr., and he has asked to be al
lowed to appear in court and plead
guilty to the charges in the informa-
ton. Trosi claims that Cicari was shot
during a fight. Efforts were made to
have the case disposed of by Judge
Pandall in the Municipal Court on
Tuesday afternoon, but as there is
some doubt as to the jurisdiction of the
Municipal Court over such cases the
district attorney has decided to take
Trosi into the Circuit Court. 1t is ex-
pected that a chance for hearing
in that court will present itself with
in the next few days.

CONFIDENCE GAME WORKS
''Tall, Slim Man and Short, Stocky
Man. Explain Details of Matching
Game to Kenosha Stranger and
Disappear With His Diamond.

Henry Hermann of Prairie avenue,
is complaining to Chicago detectives
because of the attention granted him
by two Chicago hosts who wanted to
show him the municipal pier and mean
while talked him out Of fifty dollar
diamond ring Sunday morning. The
time was when the mecca for Kenosha
suckers in Chicago was the explosion
on the lake front, but from this latest
adventure it appears that the munich
pal pier has superseded it as the grand
sight seeing expedition for out of town
guests. ga sucker is born every
minute and two to catch him" said
one famous American; be that as it
may, Hermann came back from his
Sunday trip to Chicago diamondless !"
and it is his belief that his two newly
made friends are now dividing the pro-
fits of their short acquaintanceship.
Hermann, according to the story,
must have looked lonesome about ten
clock Sunday morning when he stood
at the foot Of one of the elevated sta
tions on Michigan avenue in Chicago;
at any rate he was approached by a
tall slim man, probably twenty-five
years old, who also admitted that he
was stranger in Chicago, but who
was glad to make Hermann IS acquaint-
ance and willingly told him al
about the marvels of the municipal pier
as they started off together to inspect
the structure. Following the instruc-
tions of sailor they proceeded down
Grand avenue, during which time Her
mann had learned the Hsad details
of his comrades lonesome life in Chi
cago and was won over by his con-
fidential talk The "fenceo in the af-
fair appeared on Grand avenue in the
person of short, stalky man, from
| Newfoundland, a stranger to both
Hermann and his friend who talked
/ the two into a nice little matching
game, first for the drinks and then fol
little money on the side.
Hermann did not become suspicious
until the time when in order to secure
the confidence of the men that he would
nav his bill when the matching was
over. he handed over his fifty dollar
diamond ring to his first companion as

PLAN WORKING RESERVE.
Boy Scout Council Of Kenosha Takes
Up Plan of Providing Working
Reserve Branch in Kenosha.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Boy Scount council, held Tuesday
evening in the Office of the Kenosha
Retailers, Secretary Maddox was in
structed to negotiate with the Kenosha
County Council of Defense relative to
the establishment of a boys working
reserve in Kenosha. This organization
is for the older Scouts and is expected
to help in providing laborers for the
farms to take the place of the soldiers
at the front. The council also voted
that immediate steps should be taken
for the establishment in Kenosha of a
school for scoutmasters, according to
the plan Of the state, which will pro-
vide an instructor. The report Of
Scout Commissioner Fogwell showed
that there are now two hundred and
seventy-three Scouts in the city and
that the number is increasing by leaps
and bounds and that the only limit set
is due to the fact that there is a
scarcity of scout masters.

STEPPED UNDER GATES
Victims Neck and Rack Broken by
Force of Blow - Pedestrians Claim
Bulawiak Crawled Under Gates and
Stepped In Front of Train.

The four days harvest Of accidental
delths continued in Kenosha Tuesday
evening when the $500 Northwestern
north bound passenger train struck and
instantly killed Mike Bulawiak, aged
26 years, when he stepped in front of
the train at the Market street crossing.
Bulawiak was struck in the back and
thrown to the side of the track where
he was picked up dead by the pedestri-
ans. The police ambulance was called
and after short Investigation by the
coroner the remains were taken to the
Hansen morgrc, where it was found
that both his neck and his back had
been broken by the force of the blow
The accident happened in the view
Of a number of pedestrians who were
powerless to prevent the tragedy. One
of these, Edward Flug, said that Bula-
WAX was walking west on the north
side of Market street and although the
gates were down he walked under them
and started across the tracks and
reached the center of it when he was
struck by the engine. 1t is believed
tist BulavisF misjudged the nearpess
Of the train or that he failed to see the
warning given by The fagman. The
train, which was under the direction of
Conductor d. w. Leady and Engineer
L j. Walters was not going at great
speed due to the fact that it was slow

ern station. Other witnesses corrobor-
ate the story that Bulawiak became
confused and walked directly in front
of the train, and although his action
cannot be explained, this evidence has
exonerated the flagman from any blame
fcr the tragedy.
The victim of this fourth fatal rail
way accident in Kenosha in as many
dcys would have been a soldier of I'm
Gle Sam in the very near future as he
he'd already been certified For service
and would have been one of those to be
sent in the 7ext quota to Camp Custer
He was registered under the name Of
Michael BehoSk and for that reason
some difficulty yas found in establish
ing his identity as the future soldier
Bulawiak had already proven his pa
triotism to his adopted country. AL
though an alien and entitled to exemp
tion he had repeatedly refused to fill
any claim when he was notified thai
his new country needed his services
and had reioiced that he was given az
opportunity to pay back some of thu
debt which he owed to America.
Bulawiak has resided for some time
on Pleasant street and has no immedi
ate relatives in Kenosha. No arrange
ments have been made in regard to thu

tatives of Racine and Kenosha in
Opposition to Increase.

Racine and Kenosha are battling
side by side against an increase IN gas
rates before the railroad commission at
Madison today. The commission this
morning took up the petition of the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Company
demanding authority for an increase in
the rate charged in both Racine and
Kenosha. At the hearing the city OF
Kenosha was represented by City At
torney John G. Slater and Racine by
City Attorney Burgess and City In
gineer Connolly.
Officials of both cities have made a
demand to the commission that before
any change is made in the rates to be
charged for gas that the commission
order an investigation to determine
just how the two communities are be-
ing served by the company. Pending
this investigation the hearing on the
proposed change in rates will probably
be adjourned for some time.
The commission today also took uE
the hearing on the proposed increase il
water rates for Kenosha. Tt il not ex
pected that there will be any opposi
ton to the proposed change in rates
and that an early order will be ISSUED

tablished by the ordinance recently
