boy BANDITS" ARE
SEEKING FREEDOM
Four Chicagoans Who Held Up Gannb-
ling House Hope for Parole Term
ination as Christmas Present.

Abe Silver, Albert Boris, Samuel
Albin and Irving Stone, the four Chi
cago "boy bandits" who dropped into
Kenosha on the morning of October II,
1919, and with a lot of gun play held
up the gambling fouse alleged to have
been operated by Sam Jacobsen and
got away with what was declared to
be something like ten thousand dol
lars, are going to hang up their stock
ing at Christmas time and they ex-
pect notable present.
Judge James E. Tully Of the NUM-
cipal court this morning received a
letter from the probation department
in Chicago. This letter suggested that
the four Chicagoans have the termina-
tion Of their term of probation as a
Christmas present. The Chicago parole
officer declared that the four men were
living straight and upright lives and
that all of them were now out of the
hospitals and in business for them
selves, He suggested that in Chicago
when men showed willingness to
go straight and stay straight that
it was customary to terminate paroles
at the end of year.
Judge Wants to Thank.
II will have to give lot of thought
to this matter" declared Judge Tully
after he had real the letter of the
Chicago man. "We must be pretty
well advised Of the complete reform
of these young men before any action
is taken. The report received of them
is an excellent report, but must make
some personal investigation before any
decision is made in the matter. /
agree that it would be an excellent
Christmas present for the boys"
On Parole Thirteen Months.
The four boys confessed to the rob-
berry of the gambling house and to
battling with the police officers who
sought to effect their capture and on
October 81, 1919, Judge Tully placed
the four on parole for period of
seven years after they had paid twenty
five hundred dollars which was divided
between charities in the city.
Undoubtedly District Attorney Peter
Fisher, dr., Will be asked to confer
with Judge Tully in the matter before
any action is taken by the court.
The four men have sent no personal
request to Judge Tully for release
and up to the present the request is
made solely by the Chicago probation
department.
The money which was secured from
the quartette was divided equally be-
tween the two hospitals of the city
and the Kenosha Service League.
1t was claimed that some of the
money taken was returned but there
was no court evidence that this was
fact The exact amount secured in the
raid was never made public and after
the boys had been placed on parole it
was declared that the amount they
had alleged to have secured was con-
siderable in excess of the amount act
ually taken.

PRIEST PLEADS
TO UNITE PEOPLE
Rev. Perardi> Urges Union
of All Italian People to
Support of Church.
CLAIMS HE IS FAIR

There were no new developments
today in the division which is threat
ening in the Holy Rosary congregation
with the exception that a statement
was issued by the Rev. Peter Perardi,
pastor of the church, in which he
made strong plea for a united con-
gregation and united people.
"The statement in the press that
referred to the people who were dis
satisfied as people from South Italy
is untrue" declared Father Perardi.
Il have never made such a statement.
Rather, / want to feel that with Italy,
as with our country here, there is no
north or no south, that we are all
just Italians, with the best interest
of each other and the best interest
of all at heart"
Says Fair and Impartial.
II feel 1 am entitled to add" con-
tinued the pastor of the church, "that
in all my dealings with the Italians
of Kenosha, it has been my rule to be
absolutely fair and impartial to all,
no matter what part of Italy they
came from"
From some of the other people of
the church it was said that the mat
ter would be taken up on Wednesday,
but that there had been no develop
ments. Church leaders declared today
that they believed that the misunder-
standings would all be removed with
out further trouble or further pub
licity.

POWYS EXPLAINS
DICKENS GENIUS
Great Novelist Always Had
Soul of Child Declares
Famous Lecturer.
''HE LOVED HUMANITY

Declaring that the secret of the
genius Of Charles Dickens lay in the
fact that he always kept the heart and
soul Of child and allowed his mag
nation to revel in the fantasies of
children, John Cowper Powys in a
very interesting way explained the
genius Of the great English novelist in
an address at the Elks' club on Fri
day evening. The lecture proved one
of the most interesting of the series
of entertainments being presented
here this season by Mrs. z. G.. Sim
mons. The subject Of The address was
"The Humor of Charles Dickens"
The speaker is an English man of
letters, who has made an extensive
study of literature and who has es-
tablished himself as one of the most
brilliant critics of England. His dis
cussiOn Of the subject created real
Dickensian atmosphere and carried
his hearers back again into the thrills
which are only found in the works
Of Charles Dickens.
Imagined as a Child.
ITO Charles Dickens the world never
lost the strangeness which it has for
child" declared the speaker. "His
world was peopled with gods and dem
ons. His imagination, like that Of q
child, knew no bounds and it was this
fact that gave Dickens the ability that
no other writer ever had. Take a ran
dom page from Dickens; there you
will find a description Of high road
an old house, school room or what
not and each scene will become a liv-
ing soul. He built personalities every
where. A house became a haunted
sanctum of dim mysterious life to
him and he could instill it with a
Dickensian thrill of horror"
The speaker then described for his
hearers a typical Dickensian house
with the family in their nightcaps, as
they were in Dickens novels. With
out blush he took them to the sleep
ing apartments Of the Dickensian
characters for as he explained this
great novelist completely ignored sex
in keeping with the traditions of the
Anglo Saxons.
Anticipated the Movies
The speaker declared that Charles
Dickens anticipated the idea which has
made the movies" so successful for
he selected as his characters not the
ordinary person but the unfortunate
and the unusual 1.-THE thrilling
women of Charles Dickens" said the
speaker, "are his old maids and the
old crows. He failed utterly with his
young girls--some. of them were what
in your country would call 'the limit.
In the describing of children and the
aged he was however, an artist. He
mesmerized his own illustrators and
gave them the ability to create pict-
ures that are never forgotten"
Mr.. Powys was a master of the Eng
lish language and with delightful
English humor proved most inter
esting and entertaining speaker. In
closing his address, he told the more
than four hundred Kenoshans who
heard the lecture that the method to
use to memorable Dickens was not to
bother about joining Dickens fellow
ship clubs or the like, but rather to
give generously to the unfortunate
whom Dickens always befriended.
Never be unkind to an eccentric
person." declared the speaker. THAT
is the lesson taught in every line
written by Charles Dickens.
