KENOSHA "MASHERS"
TO FACE PROSECUTION
''Flirters'' Regardless of Sex if
They Work in Kenosha.

Kenosha is going to deal with
mashers' and it doesn Y make a
bit of difference of what sex they
happen to be.
With the full recommendation of the
Judiciary committee for its immediate
passage the City Council on Monday
evening gave the first reading to an
ordinance which promises to do away
with male and female Washers in the
city and clamp the lid down on tiirtu-
Gus maidens and men.
The ordinance provides that any one
of either sex who shall improperly ac-
cost, ogle, annoy, insult, follow, pur-
sue, lay hand on, or on any other way
modest any one of the opposite sex
heretofore to him or her unacquainted,
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor and on conviction can be pun
ished with fine of from one to fifty
dollars and with a Jail sentence not
exceeding sixty days.
The ordinance was sent along toward
engrossment without dissenting voice
from members of the council and it
will come up for final action ut the
next meeting of the council.

PAVING CONTRACTS
LET BY COUNCIL

Following conference with property
owners from the various streets to be
improved, the City Council early today
let contracts for the paving of North
and South Rowland avenue, North and
South Newell streets, Salem avenue,
Durkee avenue, Pomeroy street and
Sheridan Road. The work is to be
started at once and it is expected that
work on all streets will be completed
before the end of the present season.
Rowland avenue, Newell street, Dur
kee avenue and Sheridan Road will be
improved with a concrete pavement,
the contract being let to the Arthur
II. Prang Company; Salem avenue will
he of brick and the work will be done
by Chris Petersen; and Pomeroy street
will be surfaced with sheet asphalt, the
contract going probably to the Western
Improvement Company of Racine.
. The White Construction Company of
Milwaukee, had the low bid for asphalt
pavement, but in their bid they stip-
ulated that the company would not ac-
cept contract for less than twenty
five thousand square yards. The coun-
ell ordered the contract let to the
lowest bidder ready to accept the
contract.

retail saloons but also all beer depots
in the city and it means a complete
shut down of the liquor business in the
city for thirty two hours each week.
The liquor dealers have declared that
they mean business and it is the plan
for the leaders Of the organization to
demand the revocation of the licenses
of any men who fail to keep their
Hhonor agreement" as a member of
the association.
The saloons in outlying districts will
not be permitted to reap a harvest as
a result of the closing up of the saloons
In the city as authorities have declared
that if these saloons do not follow the
action of the city dealers and agree
to close down during the same hours
prompt demands will be made upon
town boards for the enforcement OF
laws which will make these places
close a
The Sunday closing movement is ex,
.pected to be extended all over Ken
osha county with the Kenosha men
leading in the volunteer closing of the
places in the city. Many of the people
who operate saloons in outlying dis
trict of the county have already de-
clared that they will not seek to open
these places on Sunday.
While there is no official sanction
given to the action of the saloon men
it is known that the Mayor of the city
was present at the meeting and that
he was an interested participant in
the conference and that if official &C.
ton is necessary it will not be with
held when it comes to enforcing the
voluntary regulation.
The question of the possible reopen
ing Of the saloons on the west side now
IN what is declared to be federal duty
territory was discussed some length
and it is possible that some time in the
near future a way will be found tc
secure the reopening Of these places.
The adoption of the resolution elm
mating bottle sales in the saloons and
drug stores of the city and the volun
tary provision for Sunday closing has
gone a long way to convince the fedora
officials that the Kenosha saloon mer
are DESTROYS of throwing every possible
safe guard against the business here
Since the adoption of the resolution
eliminating bottle trade there has beer
nc complaints to the police of the sale
of liquor to either soldiers or sailors.

PROMISE PUNISHMENT
FOR DISLOYALTY
City to Have Special Ordinance for
Punishment of Men Who Talk.
Against the Nation.


Punishment for men who are sediti-
Gus and who want to air their sedition
is promised in an ordinance which was
given its first reading by the Common
Council on Monday evening. The or
dinance is an amendment to the old
city ordinance providing for the pun
ishment of people who make distur-
bance in public places and in the future
seditious talk will be sort of a
disturbance de-luxe'' in Kenosha.
The new ordinance provides that
any person who shall speak disloyally
of the United States or its President,
or who shall make statements intended
to give aid and sympathy to the enc
mics Of the nation, or who in any way
interfere with the prosecution of war
on the part of the nation, shall be
guilty of disturbance and on con-
viction may be fined anywhere from
twenty-five to hundred dollars and the
costs of the action, or may be sent
enced to the common Jail of Kenosha
county for term of six months
The ordinance will give the city of
fcials new way to deal with men
who are guilty of these branches of
patriotism. 1t is similar to an ordi-
nance which is now in force in
Milwaukee.

State Board of Agriculture
Orders General Cleaning
Up of Violators of Dog
Quarantine in County.
kENOsHA DOGS UNDER FIRE
II $}tes ssHeS tgssfsssXg

Protesting that the order providing
for the quarantine on dogs was not
being properly enforced in many dis
tricts of Kenosha county, the Wiscon-
sin State Board of Agriculture today
sent a new order to the sheriff of the
county and the police department of
the city directing them to proceed at
once to prosecute owners of dogs who
have failed to comply with the order
Of the state board to muzzle the dogs
and keep them muzzled. The police
department early this morning appeal
ed the district attorney for definite
orders in regard to prosecution of these
people while Sheriff Hermann sent an
order to his deplties in all parts of the
county telling them that people who
are harboring unmuzzled dogs must be
arrested and brought into court to
answer under the statute. The state
law provides fine of from twenty
dollars to two hundred dollars for
violations of the orders Of the State
Board of Agriculture.
Many dogs have been slaughtered,
both in the city and the county, but
many of the dog owners have muzzled
the dogs for a few days and then
taken off the muzzles. Few owners
of the dogs have followed the order
in regard to having the dogs tied up,
Out in the county it is declared that
majority of the dogs have not come
under the order in any way. They
have run along the roads unmzzled
and have been free to attack the sheep
on farmers farms. It is declared
that some sheep have been killed by
the unmuzzled dogs.
The order Of the state board is to
| be effective for an indefinite period
but it is held that the dogs should be
muzzled, especially during the months
of July and August. In many parts
of the district covered by the quar-
antine the officials have killed every
unmuzzled dog.
Many people have protested against
the slaughter of the dogs, holding that
| it was not humane, but the police de-
clare that people who have made the
loudest protests against the enforce
ment of the law have done the least to
see that the dogs are muzzled.
The police officers today had orders
to carry out the orders of the State
Board of Agriculture and to either shoot
the unmuzzled dog or to bring the
owner into court to answer charges for
violating the law.

mo booze today, no booze today.
Bring around your thirst on Monday.
No booze today, no booze today.
Cam sell the booze on Sunday"
Kenosha is to have it's first dry Sun
day in more than thirty years next
Sunday when all places in the city
where liquor is want to be sold will be
closed during the entire day. The new
rule will not only apply to next Sun
day but to all succeeding Sundays for
an indefinite period and it is possible
that the Sunday saloon will become
forgotten luxury in Kenosha.
The saloons will not be closed on
Sunday by due process Of law or by the
orders of Mayor or the license COM
mittee Of the Common Council.
The saloon men themselves signed
the death warrant Of the Sundays and
demanded its abdication at meeting
held at Schlitz Hall on Monday after
noon. Ninety one of the saloon men of
the city were present at the meeting
and the decision was practically I'M
animous. 1t was taken only after it
had been freely discussed among the
men most interested in the conduct of
the business. These men declared that
the way to regulate saloons was for the
saloon men themselves to provide re-
gulations and to show their willingness

held that the Sunday saloon had be-

only to a lot of people who openly OPP
posed saloons ON all occasions but to a
lot Of people, many of them interested
in the liquor business who believed
that the saloon man as we'll as any
other man in business should have at
least one day in the week to spend with
his family,
There were few members of the To-
cal association of the retail dealers
who showed active opposition to the
Sunday closing plan.
The saloon men held that several
Wisconsin cities had adopted voluntary
Sunday closing and that conditions in
Kenosha were almost identical as in
those cities.

mously by the liquor dealers provide
that all saloons in the city shall close
at midnight on Saturday night and not

NEW LAURELs FOR TROOP 2.
st. James Boy Scouts Win Achieve
ment Buttons From u. S. Government
for Work in Third Liberty Loan.

Troop 2 of the st. James School is
celebrating its third claim to Nation
al honors. The first, the President s
Flag, is proudly waving its beautiful
embroidered stars and taffeta stripes in
the new scout room at the school house.
The second, the much coveted medal
lion, was recently announced by Of
ficials and will arrive in the very near
future. The third which came to
Father Conway by telegraph Monday
noon announces that United States
achievements buttons have been award
ed the following for their splendid
work in the w. S. S. campaign; Earl
McCanon. Charles Stanhope, Linus
Murphy, Thomas Swift, Vernon
Schultz.
Troop ? has record that can be
claimed by few if any troops in all
the United States.
The President s Flag which has been
awarded to one troop in each state was
not the height of their ambitions. The
medallion which in very few cases fol
lowed the flag giving one troop in a
state double honors, did not satisfy
them. Now that members have won
the achievement buttons they are doub-
ly fred with that intense patriotism
that is going to bring them on top in
everything.
Their new scout room IS fine ex
ample of their work. Out of an old
"mud hole'' they have made the finest,
and best equipped scout room in the
city.
Under the direction of Rev. James
j Conway, popular leader of the boys
for whom they would be honored, to
give their very lives if necessary, they
have laid q cement floor, covered the
walls with beaver board, installed cleo
trio lights and telephone and have de-
corated the room itself with posters,
flags and pennants that are the envy of
every troop in the city. In order to
finance this room Father Conway has
contracted with the telephone com
pand to deliver their bills every week
and the boy scouts in this way have
a splendid income.
In the last three weeks troop has
sold $4,000 worth of War Saving
Stamps, leading all troops in the city
by big majority. Their many honors
they declare are only the first of a
long line they intend to achieve.
