The movement to have a "Kenosha
County Fair" with a united county
backing it, reached a definite consider
alton on Friday afternoon when the
matter was taken up by the county
board on the petition of committee
Of the Kenosha Retailers association,
and Chairman Murdoch named a com
mittee to represent the county in fur
Their working out plans for a big an
nual county show. The plan as pre-
scented would unite all organizations in
the county back Of the county fair and
make of it a real exhibition which
would compare favorable with any in
the country. Buildings for the hous-
ing of the various exhibits of the
towns and county, a race track, and
even "Pike" We're suggested to the
members of the board as the things
necessary to make the county fair a
real success.
Want County to Aid Plan.
The committee of the Retailers as
ISOLATION was composed of A. H. Dahl,
former state treasurer, C. E. Dewey,
Charles Curtiss, III. E. Barden and Sec
rotary H. G. Maddox. The members
Of the committee told the members of
the board that they were not looking
for an appropriation from the county
but that they were looking for the
moral support of the board to get this
big movement started. They told the
board that it would probably take FIVE
years or possibly longer to properly
organize the plans for fair and that
in order to make it a success that it
must have the combined support of
every organization in the county. It
was suggested that the successful
neighborhood fairs held during the
summer and fall had shown the desire
of the people of the county for real
county fair.
No Location Is Urged.
The members of the committee said
that the Manufacturers association,
the Kiwanis Club, and the boys and
girls clubs of the various towns in the
county had already pledged their sup
port to the movement and that the
Kenosha County Poultry association
was ready to Join to make the plan a
success.

REWARD WILL GO
TO PENSION FUND.
Fund for Relief Enriched
$500 by Conviction of
Pacini Murderer.
COST COUNTY BIG SUM

Any rewards which may be claimed
following the conviction of Frank
Lang of the shooting of the late Char
ley Pacini will become a part of the
police pension fund. This is provided
for by the state law and by the or
dinances of the city. The only reward
which was formally offered was that
offered by Chief of Police O'Hare for
the arrest and conviction Of the slayer
of Pacini. The chief offered a reward
of five hundred dollars and it is be-
lieved that the reward will be paid
to the police pension fund by order Of
the city council AS Police Officers
Wade and Amberlang made the arrest
in the case they would be the ones
who would receive it, but under the
ordinances of the city, police officer
may not earn reward but it auto
matically goes into the pension fund.
No claim for the reward has been
made by either of the officers.
Lang Money is Still Held.
The money which the police took
from the Lang home on the night of
his arrest amounting to $158 is still
in the hands Of the police and it is
probable that it will be held pending
court order. 1t is not improbable that
it will be turned over to the wife of
Lang. There is no evidence to show
the source of the money and while it
has been the contention of the police
that the money was taken from the
Cozy saloon, the fact that Lang has
never been arraigned on a burglary
charge would probably leave the po-
lice without warrant to hold the
money. It is not believed that the
police will contest any movement to
turn the money over to the wife of
Lang.
Case Cost County Near $500.
Estimates of the cost Of the trial
of Lang to the county were being
made by court officials today and it
was said that the cost would be some
where in the neighborhood of 1900
in addition to the regular overhead
costs of the court. The biggest item
Of expense was the jury. Some sixty
men were called as jurors and the to-
tai cost of the jury was probably in
the neighborhood of $1,000 Of course
some of these men had been called as
members of the regular jury panel.

Valuables Missing
from WOman's Purse
Mrs. Joseph Stankewicz Asks Police
to Help Her Solve Mystery of
Missing Money.

Mrs. Joseph Stankewicz, GET Albert
street, has reported to the police the
loss or theft of $1,000 from her purse
along with a bank book which records
the deposit of several thousand dollars.
The money was discovered missing
when Mrs. Stankewicz was shopping on
Saturday and it is believed that she
may have been the victim of some
pick pocket. There is a possibility
that the money was lost and the police
are working on both theories.

BROOKLYN GETS FINAL
 GAME IN SERIES BY
 HITTING YANEK BOXMEN

New York, April 13 - The final game of the Yankee-Brooklyn series was played yesterday and Brooklyn won by to 2. As a matter of record, it may be interesting to know that the Yankees and the Superbas played 16 games in the series, and that the New Works won only six of them In some quarters this is taken to mean that Brooklyn has a really strong club. However, the signs of spring belong in the Ananias class. It often snows the day after the first robin is sighted.
 The Yankees did not behave very much like an aggregation about to launch itself on a pennant hunt. They made six hits, getting two in an in ming, and of these one went to the credit of Babe Ruth. The Brook lyn pitchers, Grimes and Miljus, did not give Ruth much of an opportunity to connect with the ball In his first time at bat the home run hitter stood up like one of those extinct cigar store Indians and was called out on strikes. In his second trip he got a sIashfng single to right. After that he was passed twice.
 Collins and Smallwood divided the pitching burden for the Yankees, and neither made a success of his job.

MATTY STILL HERO
 TO FANS IN TEXAS

Though Christy Mathewson has faded from the ranks of the active players and now serves merely as a coach and a lieutenant to John Mo Graw, seldom breaking into the sport page headlines, the glamour that so long has surrounded this great figure in the national pastime has not been dispelled. This was demonstrated re- gently at a luncheon rendered by the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the local Ad Club to the Giants officials and New York newspaper men at the Hotel Gunter.
 McGraw was unable to attend be- cause of his duties at the ball park. and Judge Francis McQuade was suf- fering with a heavy cold, so Matty alone represented the club. When the once great pitcher was called upon to make a brief speech, he was greet ed with thunderous applause mingled with cheers from several hundred men and women present, and it was fully a minute before he could start his talk.

DE MOTT KILLED
 BY SOLDIERy

Berlin, April 13.---The killing of Paul DeiMott of Paterson, N. J., said to have been an American citizen. shot recently at Wesel, near the RlIlnr region, is calustica1ly commented upon today by the independent socialist newspaper Die F7reiheit. The news. paper descrlbes the incident as a case of murder by the soIdiery, who oib- viously were afraid the higher court would annuI the death sentence"
 The sentence had not been brought to the notice of President Ebert, the newspaper adds, but it remarks that the soldiery do not need the presi- dents confirmation; they judge and act for theInseFves''
 The reports of the occurrence re- cefved here stated that DeEMott had been shot dead by a, sentry while try ing to escape from the prison at Wesel where he was being held under death sentence, the cause for which was not stated. An investigation was ordered by the foreign office imm edi- ately upon receipt of the report.

New Haven, April 1S.-u has just developed that the sale of Pitcher Harry Courtney by George Weiss to the Washington Americans brought the New Haven owner &, eco. Three times Clark Griffith sent Nick AL trock to the Elm City to look over the pitcher. Twice it rained but the third time things broke right for AHrock and after watching the south paw breeze through in great style, he wired Griffith to close the deal.
 Courtney joined the Senators at the end of the Eastern League race last year and Griffith tried him out against Detroit, St. Louis and Boston In all three games he was returned a winner. On the strength of his showing in these three contests when he joined the Gfifmen this spring great things have been expected of him. However, according to report Courtney has not fulfilled expecta- tions. Washington experts say that he needs to be chastised as he does not take the game seriously enough.

Foreign Champions Getting Rough Treatment I'm This COuntry--Freddie Jacks Is
 Latest To Be Bea(en

New York. April 13-This has been a trying period of time for boxers holding English or Australian titles or claiming to hold them. First came the disastrous experience of Joseph Beckett in combat with Georges Car pentier. Then followed the sudden knockout of Jimmy Hill by B. Val ger, the Australian claiming to be the featherweight champion of his native land. Lew Edwards, lightweight champion of Australia, next was put to sleep by Richie Mitchell. and Jimmy Wilde suffered a setback al the hands of Jack Sharkey in the shape of an adverse popular decision on points.

 The bout took place m Detroit on neutral ground, and the concensus ot opinion was that Murray won handily Acording to a ringside expert, Mur- ray appeared to be more scientific in his work. but Jacks, who was weak at the start, grew better as the bout went on.

N atiOnal Won lnterleague
 Series

New York, April 13 National League clubs carried off the honors this spring in the inter-league games against clubs in the Ban Johnson or ganfzatton, but the margin was slight. Yesterdays game at Ebbets Field be- tween the Robins and the Yankees brought the inter-league competition to close, and if the Yankees had won the two leagues would have fin ished up on even terms. as the Ma tiona1 enjoyed only a one-game mar gin when the final contest was start ed. The victory Of the Robins put the Heydler circuit in front, the figures being 42 victories for the National League and 40 for the American, with three games tied.
 The cIoseness of the figures at the finish is something of surprise to baseball fans in this section who had not been following the games closely. In view of the fact that the Giants held a decided edge over the Boston Red Sox and the Robins had led the Yankees by a good margin it was thought that the National League clubs would finish far ahead of their rivals in the intefleague games
 The failure of the Cincinnati Reds, who made the poorest showing of any team engaging ia g. large number of these games, coupled with the set back of the St Louis Cardinals last week in the city series with the Browns, made up to a great extent the margin which had been gained by the Giants and the Robins.

TED LEWIS IS
 SEEKING CRACK
 AT CARPENTER

New York, April 13. - Ted Lewis has become a serious rival of Georges Carpenter as the idol of the Euro pean boxing fans. Since his return to his old home land-LeUH was born in England, though now a nat uralized American citizen-Ted has gone through the British welter- weights, middleweights and light heavyweights like a wind through the barley He has fought seven fights and won them all by knockouts. Brit ish ring experts go so far as to say there is not a man within thirty pounds of his weight in Europe, save Carpenter, who can stand up against him.
 Despite the furore created by Car pentier's jig time knockout of Beckett there are plenty of British fans who believe Lewis can take Carpenters measure, and this despite the fact Ted was knocked out by Jack Brit ton and outpointed by several other American fighters. Well known mem
 bers of the National Sporting Club
 are willing to wager on Lewis ability
 to beat Carpenter, and the London Daily Mail states that Ted can get
 backing for 5000 pounds as a side stake for Lewis against Carpenter. commenting upon a aLeW1S-Carpenuer match the boxing expert of the Daily Mail says:
 t'I know the supporters of Lewis, and I can vouch for their financial substance. I can also assert that they are considered to be very sound 1 judges of the game. One of them tells me that they have tried Lewis to be | something far beyond the ordinary;
 as a matter of fact, they regard him as another F'itzSimmons for skill
 pluck, speed and strength. In regard 1 to this last quality, they affirm that l Carpenter will have no advantage al
 all, as Lewis has hitting powers far l beyond anything his natural weight | would seem to suggest.
 1 Lewis is built upon strictly Fitz-
 simmons lines. He has thin and spi- 1 dery legs, but a very fine torso. "As it is now certain that Carpen- 1 tier and Dempsey, if ever they meet 1 cannot possibly do so before October 1 or November next. see no reason
