HOUSE THIEF
STEALS S91 IN CASH

John Wojna, who lives in boarding
house at 26S Fremont avenue, has mott
fed the police that he was the victim
of robbery on Sunday and that thieves
got away with coin of the realm to the
amount of ninety-one dollars. Wojna
suspected one of his fellow boarders
and the man was picked up by the po-
lice officers but he convinced them that
he never had ninety-one dollars in his
life. According to the story told by
Wojna he aided in the purchase of a
case of beer and when he paid his share
he displayed a considerable roll of
money from which he peeled a twenty
dollar bill. Later he went to sleep and
when he woke up the money had been
taken. He admitted that the thief was
a considerable fellow and he left a five
dollar bill in the wallet.

FIND SOAP ON the WEIGHTS
Jay 3. Edwards Who Made Complaint
Claims Farmers Have Lost Consider
able on Account of False Weights
Being Used at the Big Plant.

George REM of Chicago, Junior part
ner in the firms of Theodore REM and
Son in charge of the big creamery at
Woodwork, came into the Municipal
Court this morning and entered plea
of guilty to charge Of having an I'M
sealed scale in use at the creamery. He
paid fine of twenty five dollars and
the costs of the action.
A big company Of milk producers,
living in the neighborhood of Wood
worth came to Kenosha to testify in
the action. They had caused the ar
rest of Thomas Aichholzer who is mana
ger of the plant on a charge of using
false weights. The complaint was
made by Jay B. Edwards, one of the
best known men in the town of Bristol
and it was not without it's sensational
features. The story which the farmers
told to the District Attorney declared
that the weights used at the creamery
had been plugged / was said that
small pieces of nails and screws had
been forced into openings in the weights
and the whole covered with soap so
that there was no indication that the
weights had been changed. Both REM
and Aichholzer declared that they had
no knowledge that the weights had
been tempered with. IT was admitted
by the milk producers that there were
several people who had access to the
scale and that the weights might have
been tempered with without any one
in authority knowing of it. Mr.. Ed
wards declared that the false weights
had been going on for more than three
months and that the farmers estimated
that they had lost considerable as a
result of the use Of them. REM when
arraigned in court, through his attor-
ney, declared that the scale in use had
been sent to the creamery from Chi
cago and that he knew it had been
sealed in Illinois and that he had no
idea that it had been tempered with in
any way. He consented to make an
immediate application to the state de-
partment of weights and measures for
the proper sealing of the scale. The
milk producers were entirely satisfied
with this arrangement.
1t was found that the scale showed a
shortage of three percent in the report
of milk sold. The charge against Aich-
holzer was not brought to trial this
morning and it is expected that it will
be dismissed later

Emulating George Loyal Employees
Of the American Brass Company
Perform Real Service.

Emulating the "Father Of Their
Country, of whom the wag has said,
" Twas very cold at Valley Forge, but
nothing ever bothered George, ten
employees of the American Brass Com
pany spent Sunday shoveling snow
and subsequently donated their earn
ings to the local Patriots Fund.
"Sure it was hard work and cold
work. said one Of the men this morn
ing, "but it ism t every day you get a
chance to do something for your count
ry. 1t ism It digging trenches but it IS
just as hard and it helps heaps
He was right, too. 1t did help
heaps. One by one they vanished
under the efficient work of ten pat
riots determined to defy the cold
and do their bit.
incidentally the cold work brought
a little cold cash for Uncle Sam.
The men who participated in Sun
days patriotic venture included: B.
Guest, F. Bartell, F. Vanderheide, NJ.
Nidey, I. Veneer, E. Arndt, G. Stein
berg, R. GAM, /. Beine and R. Zine. All
of the men are workmen at the power

CENTS rs
NOT SEVEN PER CENT
Delivery Costs to be Based on Number
of Trips and Not on the Num-
Der of Dollars Spent.

Delivery costs to be charged by Ke-
nosha grocers are to be seven cents
for each delivery made and butchers
will charge five cents for each delivery.
In the statement of the plan of the
food administration on Saturday even
ing the idea was given that the deliv-
cries would cost seven per cent and five
per cetn of the amount of the purchase.
The amount of the purchase has moth
ing to do with the charge to be made
for delivery. 1T will cost seven cents
for every delivery made by a grocer
and five per cent for every delivery
made by market man. The amount
of the purchase will in no way effect
the cost of delivery. The charge for
credit is two per cent on the total
amount of each bill delivered Food
Administrator Henry L. Bullamore is
very anxious to have these propositions
thoroughly understood by all consumers.

FROZEN MAN MAY
LOSE BOTH FEET
Ice Worker Found in Snow Drift at
Camp Lake Sunday Morning in
Serious Condition.

A Chicago man whose name has not
as yet been ascertained, was found
buried in snow drift in front of a
resort at Camp Lake early Sunday
morning. He was a Chicago man who
had been working on the ice for the
past week and he was known only by
his number. The man IS hands aud feet
were both frozen and it was declared
that the condition of his feet was such
that it might be necessary to amputate
both of them. The suffering man was
taken to the home of DR.. Becker at
Silver Lake early Sunday morning and
he was given every possible care there.
County Agent Russell HI. Jones will
have him taken to a hospital in Chi
cago just as soon as the trains are run
ming. The man was unable to give any
account of himself and it is thought
that he lost his way in the storm of
Saturday night and lay buried in the
snow during the entire night.

AN AMUSING MUSE.
Conservation inspires One Kenoshan to
Express Himself in a Wise and
Witty Bit of Verse.

His identity is unknown but his abil-
ity is unquestioned-this Kenoshan who
looked over life in wartime and ex-
pressed few unvarnished views on
certain situations arising from his 10y
atty to the national food and fuel ad-
ministrations.
On a meatless day in defeatless
county this local patriot sat down in
his heatless home and wrote this beat
less commentary on conservation:
/ 'My Tuesdays are meatless,
My Wednesdays are wheatless-
I'm getting more eatless each day.
My parlor is heat1ess,
My mattress is sheet.ess-
They've gone to the Y. M. G. A.
The bar-rooms are treatless,
My coffee is sweetless-
Each day I grow richer and wiser.
Ny cellars is beetless,
My stockings are feetless,
My trousers are seatless-
Ye godsl-How I hate the id

BARNEY HERMANN
STRUCK BY A TRAIN
Veteran F1agman of the North Western
is Injured at the Division Street
Crossing on Sunday Night.

Bernhard Hermann, for many years
employed as a street commissioner in
Kenosha and for some time a fagman
for the Northwestern Railway Com
pany at the Division street crossing,
was seriously injured just before eight
O'Clock Sunday evening when he was
struck by an engine of south-bound
train and thrown into the snow drifts
at the side of the tracks.
Hermann was engaged in tagging
the crossing and the train was operat-
ing on the north-bopnd track and he
did not see his error in time to get
out of the way of it. He was taken
TO the Kenosha hospital where he is
recovering today. He was badly bruis-
ed. His left shoulder was dislocated
and he had a severe scalp wound
Surgeons in charge declared that he
would recover but that he would prob
ably be laid up for some time.
Storm conditions made it difficult to
get the injured man to the hospital
The police ambulance was called and
it managed to get to the corner of
Milwaukee avenue and Division street.
There drifts barred it's passage and the
men in charge were forced to carry
the injured man on stretcher from
the railway tracks to Milwaukee
avenue. At the other end Of the trip
it was necessary to use the same means
to get the injured man from Park
avenue to the hospital. 1t was original
ly reported that Hermann had been
fatally injured and the report caused
a profound sensation on the north side
of the city. Friends of Hermann were
rejoicing this morning that his injuries
were NOT of serious nature

sERsHoN's SONGS PLEASE.
Howard Sershon and IA Little Pa
triot" Prove Entertaining at
The Rhode on Sunday.

Every cloud has its silver lining. The
snow storm prevented the vaudeville
which was scheduled to appear at the
Rhode Opera House from arriving on
Sunday, but those who attended the
playhouse We're not disappointed in it's
bill. The first surprise-and it was an
agreeable one-was that Howard Ser
shon, the popular Kenosha tenor, en-
tertained with several selections, rem
dered with 50 much spirit and melody
that he was called back for encores.
This was followed by the excellent pic
ture "A Little Patriot' in which Baby
Marie Osborne, following the example
of Joan Of Are, organized kid -
army and really helped in the capture
of German spy.
The baby actor was at her best but
she was not the only star of the film.
SANDY Hook Jackson" pickaninny
of the deepest dye, was bugler-on a
trombone-for the Juvenile "army
corpse and by his clever and natural
acting won place for himself
among Kenosha movie lovers. They
were just pretending, of course, but
they had captain, tanks, Red Cross
nurses and base hospitals in their or
ganization and by their enthusiasm
taught an excellent patriotic lesson.
In spite of the severe weather the
theatre was well attended on Sunday
both afternoon and evening and every
where there was praise for the mixture
of melody, patriotism and humor.

TAKE CHICKENS FROM OVEN
Charles Vite, Sam Pontello and George
Principe Held for Robbing Chicken
Coop of Joseph Hertzberger on
Lyman Ave.-Men Admit Guilt.

Following trail of blood, many
times. partially eradicated by the
whirling snow of Saturday, the police
Of the city on Saturday afternoon and
Sunday arrested Charles Vite, Sam Pom
tello and Cocoon Principe on charge
of stealing chickens from the coops of
Joseph Hertzberger, No. III Rowland
Avenue. The men were arrested by
Chief O'Hare and officers Breidt and
Bradley and after they had been un-
der the "third degree for some time
all of the men admitted theil connec
tion with the raiding of the coop.
Hertzberger alleged that twenty nine
chickens were taken from the coops.
The police recovered twelve of them
and got trace of four more but these
four will probably never be in court as
they were eaten at the homes of one of
the defendants on Saturday and Sun
day. Two of the chickens roasted to a
nice brown are held in box with the
evidence against the defendants. Five
or six more of them with their heads
on but still in the feathered state were
hidden under a bridge over on the West
side. The heads of six chickens were
found in the raided coop and it was
these chicken heads and the blood that
flowed freely from the necks to which
they had one time been connected that
led the police to the home Of Vite. Later
they found out that the other men had
been seen with Vite on Friday night,
when the raid on the coop was made
and after the men were arrested they
told the story Of the burglary. 1t was
alleged that Vite and Pontello went
into the coop and took the chickens
while Principe stood guard on the out
side. The chickens were afterward d.
vided between the three men. They
claim that they got but twelve of the
chickens and that the other chickens
missing escaped from the coop and few
away No vagrant chickens have been
found in any of the yards surrounding
the Hertzberger home and the police
hold that with the wide expanse Of
snow it would have been very difficult
for the chickens to get far from home.
After the men had admitted their
part in the theft of the chickens, they
suggested a settlement and offered to
pay Hertzberger the full value of the
chickens. In the hearing this morning
before Judge Tully the men plead guilty
to the charge Of petty larceny and were
fined $40 each and costs, all of which
were paid. In addition the men made
arrangements with Hertzberger to
pay for the stolen chickens and they
were released by the court.
Vite has been pretty well known to
the courts of the county. He was the
man who shot and killed Tony Bruno,
who older residents will remember as
TIE "King of the Italians +" Vite was
tried on charges Of murder in the Cir
cult Court years ago and acquitted.
Two Of the defendants have large
families of children and on this account
it was thought probable that the court
would be willing to allow them to plead
to a minor charge after paying the full
price demanded by Hertzberger for the
chickens taken.

AMERICAN SUPPLIES
HAVE SAVED SWISS
Without Them Many Would Have
Starved. Writes Alsatian
Refugee

Food sent by the United States to Swift
erland saved many people of that country
from starvation.
Word to this effect was received today by
Mrs. Estelle Abrams, 2433 North Thirtieth
street, In a letter from her cousin, Mrs.
Louise Chwab. Geneva. She. with her hus-
band. DR.. Lucien Chwab, was forced TO flee
Alsace-Lorraine shortly after the outbreak
Of the war.
The atrocities of the Germans. she wrote,
have not been in the least exaggerated. In
the course of her letter she said:
People in Alsace have suffered much from
German military oppression, but all hope that
the day will soon come when they will be de-
livered by their Allied brothers. Our cousin,
Morris Herman. was captured by the Ger
mans, and although they execute all Alsa-
tians they capture in French uniform, he
was accidentally overlooked and later in
termed In Switzerland.
In Switzerland living is horribly dear,
and II America did not send corn and other
food the people here would starve. At pres
emit a dangerous epidemic has spread. but up
until now we have been spared. Many men
between the ages of twenty and forty die.
There are many complaints that the Gov
eminent does not take measures necessary
to check such an epidemic"
