MISSISSIPPI MAY
BEAT DELAWARE
Democrats Urge Mississippi SOlons to
Ratify Suffrage Before the
Republicans of Delaware.
(By Associated Pressl

Jackson, Nashville the Republi
can legislature Of Delaware is daily
ing with its consideration of the rati
fication resolution for the woman suf
frage amendment to the constitution,
the Democrats in the lower house Of
the Mississippi state legislature are
hurrying to reconsider their vote on
the measure in the hopes that the
southern. state may yet wrest the honor
of throwing the balance for suffrage
from the Delaware body. Ratification
of the amendment will be taken up in
the lower house this afternoon.
Speaker Tanner after a conference
with the House leaders, announced his
willingness to have the ratification
resolution, which was passed yesterday
by the Mississippi Senate, brought up
for direct action without reference to
committee. National Democratic lead
ers are flooding the House with re-
quests that it act favorably before the
Delaware Republican legislature can
ratify it. The lower House rejected
the measure several months ago, but it
is declared the sentiment is now
changed. Homer s. Cummings, chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee, telegraphed Speaker Tanner to
secure immediate ratification, declar-
ing that he regarded it as intensely
important that the Democratic party
enfranchise women before the next ma
toned ,selection for the sake of our
party and Of the nation"

PRESIDENT MORTIMER RESIGN
City Sports Pick
Honus and George

Election bets posted at one of the
well known sporting headquarters in
Kenosha make the following offers:
Twenty to five that Joachim is elected
mayor by majority of one thousand
votes, twenty to ten Joachim is elect
ed mayor, ten to five that Harrington
will be reelected as city clerk by a
majority of 500, five dollars even that
Joachim will defeat Turnock.
The News does not guarantee that
the money to cover these bets will be
waiting if anyone desires to take them
up. This is just a statement posted
on the bulletin board at this particular
rendesvouz of the sports.
Joachim men who have money to bet
appear to be particularly certain of
their bets this year, and it is said that
there is considerable amount of
money waiting for some one to come
and claim it. The Turnock men for
the most part, have no sporting
headquarters and if they have any bets
posted on their candidate. they have
not been located.
Whether or not all bets are to be
off in case the women are given the
elective franchise is not stated on the
bulletin board. 1t is admitted, how
ever, that the granting of votes to
the women of Kenosha might have a
tendency to weaken the odds offered
on any Of the candidates.

UTILITY COMPANY
LEADER QUITS
Gives No Reason for Resignation
Which Is to Be Effective on
November LIST of This Year.

Announcement was made in Milwau-
kee today that James D. Mortimer,
president of the North American Co.,
the Milwaukee Electric companies, and
the Wisconsin Gas & Electric company,
in charge of the various utilities in
Kenosha, has resigned his position and
the board of directors of the holding
company has accepted the resignation
with the understanding that it is to
become effective on November 1, 1920.
Mr.. Mortimer was technical head of
all of the utility companies under the
North American company, but he had
taken an especial interest in the bust
ness of the utilities in this immediate
neighborhood and had made frequent
trips to Kenosha. 1t was Mr.. Morti-
mer who made the formal offer of the
utilities of the Wisconsin Gas g. Elec-
trio company to- the city Of Kenosha a
little less than year ago.
Don't Know it Here.
At the local offices of the company
it was stated that no announcement
had been received of the resignation
of President Mortimer. st haven't
heard word of it." said Manager
Koenes, "and of course know nothing
about what it may mean"
A message from New York said that
President Mortimer in his letter of
resignation had made no statement as
to the cause for his retirement. He
has been at the head of the Wisconsin
Gas 81 Electric company practically
since its organization. He was a close
personal friend of the leaders of the
industrial life in Kenosha and had re-
peatedly shown an interest in Kenosha
movements. He personally united
with the organization Of the Kenosha
Homes company to aid in solving the
housing situation in Kenosha.
1t is thought that with the retire
ment of Mr.. Mortimer that R. S. Way
of Milwaukee may be named as the
president of the company handling the
Kenosha utilities.

MAN AND GIRL
STEAL MOTOR CAR
Leo JiIord and Myrtle
Hathaway Arrested as
They Wait to Ride.
CONFESS TO- CHIEF
Had Stolen Car from Halsted
Street in Chicago and Aband-
oned It in Brighton.


Acting on a tip from the Kenosha
Evening News, police officers of the
city late Tuesday evening arrested Leo
Jilord, 81 Townsend street, Chicago,
and Myrtle Hathaway, seventeen-year-
old girl, who claimed that she had been
employed in the Office of the timekeep-
er of one of the public Improvement
departments of the city of Chicago.
The man and girl are held on char
ges of grand larceny and they made q
full confession to the police chief fol-
lowing their arrest on Tuesday night.
They will be taken to Chicago late to-
day to answer charges of stealing an
automobile belonging to Ludwig z.
Loeb Of Chicago.
Two other men, whose names were
given as Nicholas Shillotz and Oscar
Bolin, and who are charged with hav-
ing part in the theft Of the automobile,
escaped from the Kenosha police and
search is still being made for them
here.
Waiting for Blind Baggage.
Jilord, who said he was % years of
age, and the girl were waiting at the
Northwestern station to take train
for Chicago when they were arrested
by the police. The girl told the police
that they were both going to catch the
"blind baggage" and get back to "Chi."
After they had been taken to the po-
lice Office 9he girl told Chief Of Police
O'Hare that the automobile belonging
to Loeb had been stolen from Halsted
street between Lake and Randolph in
Chicago on Monday morning at eleven
o'clock and that she and the three men
had started to go to Minneapolis. They
were ploughing through the muddy
roads in the town of Brighton on Mon
day night when the autom obile broke
down. They spent the night in the
automobile and were found by Deputy
Sheriff Jackley who reported the case
to the sheriff. Later the quartette was
released and the automobile was left
in the road in Brighton.
Walk Into Kenosha.
The girl and the three men walked
all the way from the town of Brighton
into Kenosha and they reached the
city footsore and weary just after sew
en- o'clock Tuesday night. Not desir-
ing to attract any suspicion from be-
ing seen together, the members of the
party separated with the understand
ing that they would meet at the North
western station in time to get the
1880 for Chicago. The two taken by
police were without money and the
girl said she had suffered from hunger
during the day. She was given a din
net before she told her story to the
chief. Jilord admitted that the story
told by the girl was true, but asserted
that the other two men named had
been connected with the theft of the
car from Chicago.
Before the police had gone out to
look for the men and the girl, they
had called up the Chicago detective
bureau and had been informed that
the automobile belonging to Loeb had
been stolen.
The police officers declared that the
young woman was one of the most in
teresting prisoners they had picked up
in long time.
