COAL SHORTAGE
HITS GAS PLANT
Wis. Gas and Electric Co.
Faces Serious Situation
at This Time.
MAY CUT SUPPLY SOON

Officials of the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric company, and Incidentally all
users of gas in the cities of Racine,
Kenosha and South Milwaukee as we'll
as Cudahy and st. Francis, are facing
a serious problem and one for which
there seems to be no solution at this
time. Itsis problem which is not en-
tirely brought about by the situation
growing out of the switchman's strike,
but seems more a matter of competi-
ton as between the domestic and
foreign users of gas coal, the greater
part of which comes from the fields of
Pennsylvania. The local company has
only twelve day supply on hand at
the central plant in Racine and there
seems to be no way of adding to that
supply before it has become exhausted.
Just what will be the result after
April 25, at which time the present
supply will have been exhausted, can
not be said. Officials of the company,
however, are alive to the situation and
are exhausting every means to pro-
cure sufficient coal to prevent shut
down of the plant.
Gas Coal. Goes East.
Thousands of tons Of gas coal are
now being shipped east where it is
loaded aboard freighters for foreign
markets. All of that kind of coal is
dug in the Pennsylvania fields and
none of it is coming west and would
not be shipped into this territory even
though the transportation situation
was normal. 1t is matter of price
almost entirely in the situation cover
ing gas coal. Foreign market are
clamoring for gas coal and the users
are securing the supply through the
payment of a price two dollars in ex-
cess Of the price which has been paid
in the domestic markets. Even though
domestic users of gas coal are willing

EvANGELIsTIC ROMANCE.

The Kenoshans who have been at
tending the evangelistic meetings at
the Park Avenue M. E. church will be
interested in romance which has
come to light and which will culmin-
ate this summer in the marriage Of
Miss Jefferies and Eugene Hutchins,
both of Roachdale, Ind Mr.. Hutchins
was the organist for the meetings but
he severed his connections with the
workers on Sunday and will return to
Indiana where he will conduct farm
near Roachdale. Miss Jefferies is a
senior at De Paw university at Green
castle and the nuptials will be solem-
nized after her graduation in June.
Miss Jefferies visited in Kenosha over
the weekend. The others in the evan
gelistic party will go on to Toronto,
Canada, and Elmira, N. Y, where they
will open an evangelistic campaign

Zievers Signs
Johnny Hughes

Manager Carl Zievers Of the Sim
mons Company baseball team came
back from Milwaukee Tuesday evening
elated over his success in securing
players there on Tuesday. The chief
cause for his JOY was the fact that he
signed up Johnny Hughes, the former
Brewer catcher, to be behind the bat
for the bedmakers. Hughes was
member of the team which brought the
pennant of the American Association
to Milwaukee several seasons ago and
he is known as one of the headiest and
best backstops in the semi-pro ranks
Zievers also secured line on several
other players who are said to be heavy
hitters and it is probable that they
will be secured for the bedmakers line
up. Zievers is getting all ready for
the opening of the season. Baseball
fans we're also interested today in the
plans being taken by the Kenosha Reg
ners to close up their ranks for the
opening Of the season in the near
future

NEW DESK ARRIVES.


There is much excitement a, 80
Gilbert M. Simmons library today as
The new desk which is to be set up in
the rotunda, has arrived and viii prob
ably be put in operation next week.
The new desk will greatly improve con-
ditions at the library and make for
greater satisfaction among librarians
and patrons. At present the librarians
are much hampered because of the fact
that working materials cannot be kept
in central spot and also because the
present style of desk permits patrons
to crowd in and hinder the distribution
of books during the rush hours. The
rotunds desk viii provide ample space
for all materials, both for charging and
mending work and with the old desk
taken out and the space converted into
passageway to the stocks patrons
will find it much easier to choose their
own books Of fiction without enlisting
the aid of the librarians. The rotunda
desk is of oak with marble base and
its installation will not in the least
detract from the stately beauty OF the
interior Of Kenosha's library.

.GORMAN MAY
MEET JAMESON
Bud German Scheduled to
Meet Winner of jamie
son-CIifford Go.
THREE OTHER FIGHTS

The possibility Of having a. case
of where Kenoshan meets Kenoshan
doomed up today when Bud German
the well known Kenosha boxer, re-
ceived word from his manager, Pat
Callahan, that he had signed him up
to meet the winner of the Jameson
Clifford mill which is soon to be stag
ed at Fond du Lac. Jameson is the
former Kenoshan who was fouled here
by K. Q. Brown, at the Coliseum sew
eral weeks ago, and should he win
against the Minneapolis boxer, his
next fight will be with his former fell
low townsman.
German is scheduled to go into the
ring at Fond du Lac at the next show
after the Jameson Clifford mill and
it will certainly not be later than May
the 18th. This Clifford is said to be
the toughest bird that Minneapolis has
handed out for several years and there
are grave doubts whether Ted jamie
son will be able to slip him sleep
producer. The two men have boxed
to a draw before and this match is
certain to be one where the haymak-
ers are loosed early
Bud Ready to Meet Either.
'I'm ready to meet either one OF
them," said German in discussing the
coming match. Bud has been train.
ing here for several weeks. He takes
regular workouts at the training
quarters every morning and is at road
work every afternoon. He declares
that he is as hard as berry and will
be ready to start on a tour of scraps
whenever the Fond du Lac promoter
sets this match.
German admits that he would prefer
to meet Jameson in that the fact that
the two of them once came from Keno
sha gives little more local interest
to the scrap.
German is great fa-orite in the
rings in the northern part Of the state
The match with the winner of the
Jamieson-C Clifford mill will make him
have four bouts in the northern part
of the state before the first of June
He is booked for Oshkosh for one OF
these dates and the latest reports from
the promoter there declares that he
will meet Jack Dillon that night. He
also has scraps booked for Galena and
Neenah
His career will be followed with
great interest by Kenosha fight fans
in the hope that German will end ur
by being staged for real scrap al
the Coliseum before late in the sum
mer Gorman's manager declares that
he believes Bud has the punch and the
experience to make him one of the best
fighters in the middlewest, and that
this trip during the month of May
will establish his reputation in the
Badger state.

HUNDREDS GO TO
FINAL MEETINGS
Park Ave. Church Crowd
ed for Closing Meetings
of McCombe Revival.
FIRE PARTHIAN SHOTS

Sunday, the closing day of the
McCombe-Clase meetings, will not soon
be forgotten by the people Of Keno
sha. Crowds exceeding in numbers
even the magnificent audiences Of the
mast week, tlocked to the morning
service, the mass meetings of the aft
ernoon and the great gathering in the
evening. The best was certainly kept
until the last. DR.. McCombe poured
forth his message with fervor and
appeal surprising his usual forceful-
ness, while Mr.. Clase seemed to have
been gathering power during the past
weeks for a grand finale in song.
The evangelists will be remembered
as clean, Christian workers motivated
by the big purpose Of making bad
people good and good people better"
Devoid of any narrow spirit Of sec
tarianism, their work has had whole
some effect upon the moral and
spiritual life of Kenosha. The results
cannot be measured, for they are not
limited in character, but the influence
of the campaign will live and grow
Have ETalBb IOr AeHOShds
The members Of the party expressed
their appreciation for the cooperation
they have received in Kenosha. The
press was commended for its iberality
in granting free space for the cam
paign material. Professor Wilson was
thanked most heartily for the donation
Of the grand piano which has added so
much to the musical program, and
recognition was given the services of
everyone who has helped to make the
meetings a success.
Mr.. McCombe was at his best in the
morning service where he preached on
the subject, after the Revival, What"
The greatest things should be realized
then in his opinion. The campaign is
only beginning, but with the weeks
and months that follow come the big
opportunities for the church to serve.
Prepare to Meet Thy God.
The startling words Prepare to
Meet Thy God" constituted the fare
well message of DR.. McCombe to Ke-
nosha. "Only the fool will claim that
there is no God. If he is the God of
any, he is the. God of all; if he is the
God Of all, he is the God of each. If
he is everywhere, he is here tonight.
Prosperity and adversely alike seem
10 have failed to make people think
seriously of the final reckoning "A
man will make provision for every de-
tail Of his funeral and burial and yet
neglect to make his peace with God.
The Stages of Sin.
Sin passes through the stages Of
being startling, pleasing, easy, delight
full, frequent and habitual until at last
the sinner grows imperitent and OBJ
stinate. Then he is ruined, for he has
determined never to repent. He is
condemned already and is merely
waiting for the judgment.
The sinner is outside all human help
until he says in his heart, Il will; then
all the devils in hell can't keep him
back. But if he says, i will not all
the angels in heaven cannot save him"
A spirit Of quiet thoughtfulness was
evident during the entire service, and
in response to the invitation, large
numbers dedicated or reconsecrated
their lives to the Christian service.

DAHL HEADS
MOTOR DEALERS

Andrew H. Dahl, former state treas
urer of Wisconsin and manager for the
Ford Automobile company, in KenosHa
was elected president of the new Ke-
nosha Garage and Dealers association
at its first formal meeting held at
the Elks' club on Tuesday evening.
George Greiner of the Greiner Nash
company, was elected vice president
and Tom Scott of the Sheridan Road
garage, secretary and treasurer. Nine
teen of the motor dealers and garage
owners Of the city were listed as
charter members of the organization
and it was announced that practically
every one of the twenty-five dealers
in the city had announced his intention
to be affiliated with the organization.
Meet at Dinner.
The members of the new organiza-
tion met round the dinner table at
the private dining room of the club
and before the organization was eff
fected there was a considerable dis
cussion of just what the organization
would do. It is no way an organization
to regulate prices, but rather a So
cial organization for general adj
vancement of the motor sales and
garage business in Kenosha.
The new organization will hold
monthly meetings at which questions
of pertinent interest will be discuss
ed by experts and at which problems
Kenosha will be discussed from a
standpoint of mutual benefit.
To Have Charge of Show.
It is expected that the new organ
ization will have charge of the auto
mobile and accessory shows to be held
in Kenoshs in the future and that the
all year afiliation Of the dealers will
do much to bring them closer together
for the annual appeal to the public
for the advancement of the motor car
business.
The next meeting will be held the
second week in May at the Elks club.

to pay the added price there is no
guarantee that they will be supplied
so great is the foreign demand.
The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
company officials are not losing any
time in the matter, however, but are
bending every effort to add to their
supply here so that shutdown of the
plant will not become necessary. They
are willing to pay the added price per
ton and will make an effort to secure
a cargo to come in over the all-water
route within short time Navigation
is about to open and it is hoped to
secure a cargo in the east and have it
shipped here at once or as soon as the
ice in the straits permit.
The gas company uses from 275 to
500 tons of coal a day.

POLITICAL BEE
BUZZING STRONG

The political bee was buzzing strong
about Kenosha again today and it was
evident that it was having little trou-
BILE in finding 'bonnets" in which to
take up a residence. While it is still
some five months before the primary
election, they were talking county
politics on the street corners today.
The most interesting announcement
was that Alfred Grosvenor who served
as mess sergeant for lot Of the Ke-
nosha county men who served with the
swing his hat into the ring as the Re-
publican candidate for sheriff. 81

to announce himself as candidate for
the Democratic candidate for sheriff

not make the run, was said today TO
have had a change of mind and he was
out looking over political prospects.
Don't say anything about it yet" Fra
zier said when he was seen in regard
to the report, but he pretty clearly in
dicated that he would be one of the
men looking for the Democratic nom
ination. 1t was said that he had been
promised support in high official cir
cles of the city and county and that
he had goodly number of ex-service
men who believed that he would make
good sheriff.
Stahl May Be in Training.
The most interesting political rumor
about the city today was that former
sheriff Andrew F. Stahl, regarded as
one of the strongest men in the Dem
ocratic party in Kenosha county, was
being groomed for the Office of mem
Der of the assembly 1t was said that
Mr.. Stahl would not be adverse to max

of the Democratic leaders were ready
to move to declare the nominations

dacy.

CONVERTS, NOT DOLLARS,
SOUGHT BY METH0DlSTS

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Something
new in drives is on. The Methodist
Episcopal church has opened a world
wide campaign for 1.00O.000-con-
verts, not dollars.
The new departure will last from
now until June 90, 1920. and is for
the avowed purpose of ''re- stocking
the church with Christians-the lead
ers of the movement openly announc-
ing the faith lost 10000 communi-
cants by reason of the war.
The campaign is said to be the most
stupendous religious undertaking ever
by any creed. One feature
of the campaign, it was pointed out,
is the fact that it is not being man
aged by any individual, but by the
whole denomination.
The quota of souls for workers in
the United States to save has been
placed at 100000. The rest of the
world is expected to convert the re-
naming 100000.
