DELEGATION
ASSOCIATED
CHAMBER To
VISIT Yum A
Twenty Members of Various
County Organizations Ap-
pointed to Confer With
Yuma.

At banquet given last evening at
the Barbara Worth hotel, and at
tended by representatives of every
commercial and civic body in Imper-
ial county at the invitation of the As
sociated Chambers of Commerce, the
problem Of the building of this years
weir at Hanlon's heading was dis
cussed.
1t was suggested that represen-
tative body of farmers and business
men be selected, none of whom had
ever before participated in negotia-
tions with Yuma, to visit that city
and confer with the Chamber of Com
merce and the Water Users associ-
alton. The following resolution was
adopted:
"Resolved, That committee of
twenty selected by the Associated
Chambers of Commerce be appointed
to meet the Yuma Chamber of Com
merce and water users, for the pur-
pose of seeing what guarantees Yu-
ma requests or demands, or what
statements may be made to secure
consent for the placing of weir in
the Colorado river this year, the COM
mittee to go via Mexico and study
the river works Of the irrigation sys-
tenn"
Letters sent out contained a notice
that a plan would be proposed to add
S6,000,O00 to the bond issue contem-
plated by the irrigation district, to
be devoted to the construction of a
canal from the Laguna dam to Han
lon heading. This proposition stirred
up much interest. Supporters of the
all-American canal took it as move
to defeat the construction of the re-
mainder of the canal. Supporters Of
the Irrigation District board said that
such action would delay the election
for the bond issue for six months, and
probably defeat the issue.
Such a proposition was not broached
at the banquet, and officers of the
chambers declared it was not Il part
Of their program.
The delegation to Yuma will be Sc
lected in the following manner: Local
chambers of commerce will send nom-
nations to the associated chambers,
which will name the men selected.
They intend to make the delegation
representative of the entire county,
choosing ranchers and business men
of influence and ability, who will be
able to convince the Yuma water US
ers of the sincerity of this valley to
do all possible to settle the problem
which has annually caused ill-feeling
in Yuma.

Irwin
CASE TO JURY

Requiring five days in the Superior
court, the now famous Franklin VS..
Irwin case, wherein the plaintiff
brought suit for malicious prosecu-
ton, asking for damages in the sum
of $50,60O, went to the jury at 11:25
this morning.
The suit was probably an outgrowth
of the Brawley tarring and feathering
episode of some months ago. The
specific instance of the present case
bacon.
A review Of the case points out that
an employe of the Irwin ranch, ac-
customcd to doing more or less buy
ing for Irwin, went to the Farr Meat
Market in Brawley to buy the said
bacon. After it was weighed out to
him he left the market without TAX
ing the meat. Later the charge showed
up on Irwins meat bill, which he dis
puted when settling his monthly ac-
count, ascertaining from the ranch
hand that the meat had never been
received. 1t was suggested to Irwin
at the market that in place of refund
ing mis- money that he take out the
$3.50 credit in meat.
This was agreed upon. Some time
later Irwin again visited the Farr
Market for meat and, on receiving
his packing, started out the door. Just
as he had seated himself in his ma
chine, Franklin, the then manager of
the market approached him, grabbed
Irwin and took the meat away from
him.
The result was that two subsequent
suits on different charges filed against
Franklin by Irwin were dismissed, but
caused Franklin to file the present
suit against Irwin for malicious prose-
cution.
At 4:3O the Jury was still out.

Madison Student Of States History
Tells Of the Founding Of the
First School Here

Fred L. Holmes, Madison, close stu
dent Of the history of Wisconsin, in an
article published in Milwaukee on Sun
day, gives Kenosha cerdit for having
tho first school in Wisconsin and he
writes interestingly of the history of
the early educational movement in this
city. He says Of the first school in
Kenosha:
"One Of the most notable events of
the year 1S45 was the establishment at
KenOsha, then called Southport, of the
first free school Of Wisconsin. The
population Of this village was largely
made up Of people from the New Eng
land and middle states. Col. M. Frank,
one Of the editors of the local news
paper, was an ardent believer in sys-
tenn Of free schools supported by state
tax, and for five years he strongly in
fuenced public opinion. Largely
through his work and his speeches in
the legislature was it possible to inau-
gurate the scheme in Southport. In
1843 he had introduced bill for the
establishment Of a system Of free
schools in Wisconsin, but was rejected
and the idea was considered imprac-
ticable by most Of the members.
"But the legislature Of 1845 conced-
ed to district number one of Southport
the privilege Of making an experiment
in this line by authorizing the voters
of the district to raise by taxation a
sum Of money not to exceed $4,000 in
any one year for the erection of school
house apparatus, payment of teachers
and Incidental expenses. The tax was
levied on both real and personal prop
erty.
The experiment was thoroughly
successful and schools of Kenosha soon
acquired wide reputation for their com
pleteness of organization and thorough
ness Of instruction, said J. w. Stems.
Their success, doubtless, had much to
do with the liberal provisions made la
ter for public schools by the Wiscon-
sin Legislature
"To Kenosha and Col Frank go the
honor Of inaugurating system which
has become universal in Wisconsin. /"

Kenosha Ministers On Sun
day Sanction the Cause of
The Wisconsin College
Associated.
ARCHBISHOP SENDS LETTER
Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer Sends
Letter Endorsing Campaign, Which Is
Read In Every Catholic Church of
the City Sunday.

From the pulpits Of Kenosha on Sun
day morning was sounded the call of
the Wisconsin Colleges Associated who
are asking Kenoshans to support the
campaign to raise 100000 through
out the state in the drive to be staged
from Wednesday, November 18th to
Wednesday, November 10Th. The money
is to be used to raise instructors sal
aries, erect new buildings and enlarge
endowments for the nine members of
the association Marquette University,
Beloit, Lawrence, Champion, Carroll,
Milton, Milwaukee, owner, Northland
and Ripon colleges.
The schools in the association repre-
sent all the larger church denominations
of the state and in Kenosha practical
ly every minister mentioned the cam
paign and urged the members of his
congregation to support it.
Archbishop Sends Endorsement.
In every Catholic church Of Kenosha
as well as every one in the state, on
Sunday morning letter was read from
Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer full
ly endorsing the campaign and urging
Catholics to take this opportunity to
join with other Christians in supporting
the cause Of Christian education.
The letter of the archbishop was as
follows;
you are aware, presume, that
next week, beginning on November IL,
general drive for financial help will
be made all through Wisconsin in IA
vor of some colleges belonging to the
Wisconsin College Association. Taught
by the terrible unrest of modern So
'iety, the radical and destructive So
cial movements of today, the spread
Of q materialistic egotism, these col
leges recognize the absolute necessity
Of Christian education. They admit
that the one sure hope of meeting and
overcoming the disastrous influence of
those evil tendencies, lies in the I'm
ceasing teaching of the principles of
the Gospel, as applied to the state of
organized society, and in the spread of
Christian ideas and the acceptance of
Christian standards
Pleads for Christian Education
The Catholic colleges would invari-
ably give their students, together with
secular instructions, a thorough Chris
ton education, as a matter of course.
But it is certainly a matter Of con-
graduation for Catholics to know that
non Catholic secular colleges come to
recognize and to adopt the great prin-
ciple OF the Catholic Church, that we
cannot furnish society with good and
pure men or the State with useful and
loyal citizens, unless the pupils be
taught the great moral laws of the
Christian Faith.
Christian education, by the incul-
cation of the Christian principle of
morality, in all our colleges, Catholic
and non Catholic, is today a far greater
concern than ever before for all Am
orleans who love law and order and
wish to see the great principles Of Jus
tice and charity reign supreme. For
this reason I hope that Catholics who
have the means of doing so, will take
an active part in the financial drive of
these Wisconsin colleges.'
