BIDS ARE TOO HIGH
NO CONTRACT is LET
Trustees of Willowbrook Open Bids for
New Nurses Home Saturday At
ternoon but Hold Up Contract.

Bids for the construction of the pro-
posed home for nurses in connection
with Willowbrook Sanatorium, were
opened by the Board of Trustees on
Saturday afternoon, but the bids we're
so much higher than had been antici-
pated that the board took no action to
let the contract for the new building.
The lowest estimates Of the contractors
placed the cost of the institution at
1885. This price included the gen
eral contract price of Ludwig K!emm
of $9,827, the lowest Of the bids on the
general contract and bid Of Kaelber
and Kraft on the plumbing and heating
contract amounting to $3,068, the low
est proposal for this part of the CO.
tract. The County Board at its last ses-
sion appropriated $1,000 for the build
ing of the nurses home.
A special session Of the County
Board is being called for April oath
and at this meeting the bids win be re-
ported and the Bo-rd of Trustees viii
ask for some further instructions in re-
gard to proceeding with the building.
It was not expected that the building
could be completed for the amount ap-
propriated by the board, but the mem
bers of the board were hopeful that
the cost would not exceed $4,000.

CAUGHT ON THEIR KNEES
Captain Cyzak, as Plain Clothes Man,
Gets in Just in Time to Hear Lucky
One 'tShoot the Dollar youths
Plead Guilty ~ Five and Costs,

"Little Joe' and "Big Dick' are
in bad again in Kenosha. Their turn
for the worse came at six clock Sun
day evening when seven policemen
sWooped down on a barn on Exchange
street and caught four well-known
young men of Kenosha down on their
hands and knees "shaking the bones. -
"Shoot the dollar, said the noisy one
just as Captain Cyzak edged quietly
in the door, and the captain, answering
that he guessed he would "take the
pot'', grabbed up the two and quar-
ter in the middle of the circle, called
his aides and placed the dice artists
under arrest. They were all we'll dress
ed young measure their knees bag
ged a little from the afternoon s game
but they attracted no little following
as the police marched them to the sta
tion.
The names they gave at the police
station We're not sufficiently interesting
to be matter of news value They
were released until this morning on
bonds am at nine clock they turned
up sharp ready to plead guilty and pay
the five dollars and costs, They were
given a serious lecture by Judge Tully
and warned that more serious penalties
would follow a repetition Of what they
called "just little Sunday afternoon
diversion.'' The youths, all under
twenty, as they paid the fine assured
the judge that they had learned their
lesson and that they were going to
have burying party for "Little Joe y
and "Big Dick. y
About five o'clock Sunday afternoon
pefed to the police that there shrdlu
some mysterious somebody" whis-
nered to the police that there was a
big game going on in red barn over on
Exchange street. That was all that
was necessary; when policeman was
sent to investigate he could hear cries
of "Seven Come Eleven, and Gimme
the hones'', for half a square and
with dreams of real raid he sum-
moned the whole force to surround the
rendezvous, When the trap was all
set, Captain Cyzak, who was in plain
clothes, was sent in to catch them in
the act while the other policemen sur
rounded the shed,
Well, who squealed?", was the only
remark made by the four as they
realized that they were caught with
tie goods. "Nobody,n was the Cap
tain S answer, "but tho next time you
have a hankering to shoot craps, you
want to tie a handkerchief around
each mouth and then get five miles
from civilization, You may have a
chance then to get away with it. y
With that the Captain pocketed the
"change" as Exhibit A for the court
this morning, called in the ether police
men and lined up the gamesters The
boys declared that it was just ill
game" and an examination Of the con-
tents of their pockets revealed that
little money had changed hands dur
ing the afternoon. The raid Is expect
ed to serve as warning to similar
small gamblers who have made prac-
tice of spending Sunday afternoons on
their knees or around card table.

Chain Letters to Help in the Sale
of War Savings Stamps.
tsGood but not good enough That
was the opinion Walter M. Burke held
in regard to War Savings Stamp
chain letter which he received recently
but he did not stop with merely passing
his opinion. He evolved a better one
lone which anyone can use\and profit
by and which should help in selling
Goodies of thrift stamps for Uncle

Instead Of asking a friend to give
five thrift stamps this letter merely
asks him to accept as free gift one
thrift card already signed up to him
and repay the compliment by passing
it on to his next door neighbor. 1t is
no obligation except to buy a three
cent stamp to help the cause and it
should start hundreds of Americans on
the saving habit if Ffthey don It break
the chain.
The letter which has been sanctioned
by the state Thrift Campaign directors
reads as follows:
"My dear Frank Tor George or Bea.

WITNESS MOTOR ACCIDENT
Scouts See Car Hit the Ditch and Rem
der First Aid to the Injured - Boys
Report on Savings Pine Tree
Patrol Wins

Preparing themselves for the ardu-
GUS duties of the Cleaners Liberty
Loan Campaign scheduled to begin one
week from next Saturday, the Boy
Scouts of the Pine Tree Patrol
"bieycled" to Racine and return on
Sunday afternoon and evening. The
weather man smiled on the Young
Americans and as a consequence their
ride was a tremendous success from
every standpoint
The Scouts were led and generally
chaperoned by Assistant Scoutmaster
Ward Quinn who was "right on the
job" all the time, but off his bicycle
for a few moments on the return trip,
when he eollided with cyelist who
attempted to douhle-cross him.
Preceding the latter affair the Scouts
witnessed q near-serious accident on
the northward trip. An automobile,
just ahead of them, veered suddenly,
overturned and threw all of it's passep-
gers into the ditch at the side of the
road. One of the party-a little girl
was quite painfully hurt, The Boy
Scouts were on hand to render first aid
to the unfortunates and distinguished
themselves for courtesy and service.
The names of the automobilists were
not learned.
"We think they were Racine peo-
pie, said one of the Scouts today,
-. f,s,t, - 4a.,
and they ordered another from Racine
$50 that's probably where they live,
The wonder is that they weren It all
killed---the way the car hit the
ditch and threw them out in all
directions
At Racine the Scouts suppered" at
Tidyman Is and made reports on their
savings for the past month
The latter transaction revealed the
fact that the members of the Pine Tree
Patrol had saved forty-eight dollars
$48.00-in the last month representa-
tive of fifty per cent of their earnings,
Inasmuch as there are twelve boys in
the patrol this means an average saw

reflects credit upon the thrift of
youngsters under sixteen who earn all
the money they get.
The report also proved that the Pine
Tree Patrol had defeated it's nearest
rivals in the matter of savings and had
accumulated more money for invest,
ment in Thrift Stamps than their com.
petitors of the second patrol.
The return trip was made without
incident except for Assistant Scout
master Quinn's collision just out
side of Kenosha
"It's just the first of series of
spring rides, Scout official declared
this morning. "They re splendid ex,
ercise for the boys and put them in
condition for the rather strenuous du-
tios of the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign. Tney are planning to prosecute
that untiringly and with unsurpassed
vigor and accordingly will need all the
'pep' and 'spizz that rides like this
will give them, -

ADMITS MANY ROBBERIEs
Boy Tells the Police He Has Stolen Ten
Bicycles in Short Time and Four
Purchasers of the Stolen Wheels
Are Held in Police Net.

JoHH hfamer, nIIeen years or age
and declared to be Kenosha s most reg
Rlar juvenile offender, appears to have
reached the end of his early criminal
career. He is held at the city lookup
charged with burglary and grand lar
ceny and he has made clean breast of
it in confession to Chief O'Hare in
which he admits both charges.
Kramer was picked up by the mem
hers of the department ON Sunday af-
ter a search for several days. Tt was
only few weeks ago that he was
brought in ON charge of larceny and
he had won a parole from the court. He
had been paroled on former occasions.
Kramer evidently decided that he
was entitled to no further consideration
from the officials, as after his arrest on
Sunday he confessed that in a short
time he had stolen ten bicycles from
various places in the city and that two
weeks ago last Saturday night he had
burglaPized the wholesale grocery store
of the Mueller-Kuehn company and had
secured twenty dollars in money from
the cash register, He declared that he
was alone when he entered the store
and that he made his way into the
building through one Of the rear win
dows which had been left partially
open. He told the police that the
entire booty secured at the grocery
store was the twenty dollars taken
from the cash register.
After considerable figuring Kramer
told the police that to the best Of lis
recollection he had stolen ten bicycles
in the past few weeks. These were
sold at bargain rates to boy friends or
sold to an employee of a junk shop who
seems to have done fairly active
business in disposing of them.
Two men and two boys who are
alleged to have purchased bicycles from
the boy, were arrested by the police
officers, but the only one of these people
to be held was Harry Klenehuk, an
employee of junk yard, who is alleged
to have purchased three bicycles from
the boy and to have sold them Later. He
is charged with buying stolen prop
erty. He declared to the officials
that he had no idea that the bicycles
had been stolen,
Seven of the bicycles have been re-
covered by the police andEthey are now
being held at the station pending the
location Of their owners. The plan
followed by Kramer was to spot a
bicycle and ride away with it. Then
he took and daubed it with black paint
and destroyed all marks of Identifies
ton, Nearly all the wheels recovered
by the police had been daubed with
paint in this manner.
Kramer had no excuses to make this
morning. He said that he had been q
student at the continuation school
but that he had not been regular in his
attendance. He admitted that he had
been guilty of a lot of petty thievery
and that he had been arrested five
times as a result Of his thefts He
seemed to be of the opinion that he
was destined to go to some corrective
institution and he was entirely agree
able. He will face a hearing late
this afternoon.

49, evening when Chief
Justice John B. Win
slow and Attorney Frank NJ. Hoyt of
Milwaukee will plead for "Loyalty
First and urge Kenoshans to do their
full share in keeping "the glow in
old glory
In view of the eminence of the speak
ers the meeting is expected to be real
landmark in the Liherty-Loan history
of Kenosha as well as an enjoyable
function for people who appreciate wit
and eloquence.
The Honorable John B. Winslow is
Chief Justice of the state of Wisconsin
as well as a jurist known throughout
the United States for his legal acumen
and practical common sense. Recently
he has acquired nationwide repute on
his monograph entitled Germany
Breach of International Law The
thesis makes q clear case against the
Kaiser and his deputies and has been
widely read not only by lawyers but
also by laymen who understand law and
feel the injustice Of Prussian militar-
ism.
Preceding the lecture the Bar Asso-
citation of Kenosha will honor Chief
Justice Winslow and Mr.. Hoyt with a
complimentary dinner followed by
g Four-S Second Speeches on the Third
Liberty Loan,
The rally of Saturday evening while
not so largely attended as had been
expected-developed no little enthus-
iasm for the purchase of Bonds among
the Labor class in Kenosha. Matthew
Wollof Chicago gave an up-to the-minute
out.of- the-ordinary speech on the work
men IS obligation to his country and
completely refuted the notion that La,
bor-offcials are urging pacifsm.
Much as We desire peace" said
Mr.. Woll, "there are some things
worse than war. If Germany imposes
her will upon America and her Allies
the whole world will become an armed
camp bristling with militarism. This
would be the greatest catastrophe that
could overtake Labor. Tt must be
averted at all COSTS
In conclusion Mr., Woll declared that
there must be no contention between
employers and employees at the pres
ent time but that Labor and Capital
must work and pay unitedly in tre-
menduous effort to ''provide the sin,
ews of war.
Following Mr.. Woll Director Charles
G. Brown spoke convincingly on the
question Of the loan:
eff you haven u the money to in
west in bonds,'' Mr. Brown urged, "see
your banker and he IL loan it to you.
A United States Liberty Bond is the
best security in the world. On it you
can borrow money at one per cent less
than on the best farm in Wisconsin
and with it in your possession yon can
be absolutely sure that your money is
deposited in bank that will not break,
the United States Government Don t
wait, Buy bonds and pay for them
in weekly instalments Tt will enable
you to save money for yourself and
at the same time do something to save
the men who are saving you.''
w. A, Afford presided at the meeting
and as a preface to the main address
made a brief h7rt MOVING annaa1 for
investment in Liberty Bonds. His
speech was well received and served as
an admirable introduction for the labor
leader from Chicago.
As an outgrowth of Saturdays en-
thusiasm loyal Labor in Kenosha is
planning large attendance at the Win
slow meeting to be held at the Armory
on Thursday.

five utility bonds at $3.50, and the
average price of ten industrial bonds
at SO.
On the resumption of bond
trading in the fall of 1914 bond
prices tended to work higher. and
this movement continued with soma
reactions from time to time until
early last year. The ten industrial,
bonds averaged $3.50 at the BEGIN
ming of 1917, the ten rails $3.50 and
the five public utilities 1O1.4O. But
thereafter values began to shrink on
the certainty that the huge war Dor.
rowings of the United States govern.
ment would adversely affect Sc.
curities of fixed interest return. On
the >1917 decline the railroad bond
average dropped to 5000, the indus
trial average to 1890 and the util;.
ties to $3.50. From these levels
there has been a moderate recovery
in all but the industrial bonds.
The complete record of first of the
month averages for ten railroad, FIVE
utilities and ten industrial bonds
since January /, 1912, and the COM
bined average for the same twenty
five bonds, are given in the tables
below:
