LACK or FUND
HITS "KIDDIES'
- appropriation Made by
Council for Support Of
City's Play Grounds,
BLOW FOR LEADERS

Immediate suspension Of all activi-
ties in connection with the playground
and recreation movements of the city
was faced by the school officials this
morning and it is possible that the
work will all have to be eliminated
for the rest Of the school year and
the summer months.
This morning Mrs. Mary D, Brad
ford, superintendent of the public
schools finding that the fund for the
recreation work was entirely exhaust
ed sent to the city treasurer for
part Of the special fund supposed to
be raised for the support of this work.
The messenger brought back the word
that there was no appropriation for the
playground and recreation work.
It was stated that provision for this
fund was Overlooked when the annual
budget of the city was made up. Some
time ago the matter of support for the
playground and recreation work was
submitted to the people and a frac-
ton of mill tax ordered for the sup
! port of this important phase Of edu-
cational work. It is admitted that the
playground fund has not been popular
with some Of the members of the coun-
Gil, but no word had been given that
the appropriation was not made. 1t
was said that it was to be cut to a
tenth of mill but this would have
given the fund something like $4,000
for the work of the year.
May Give Up Work.
II am totally in the dark as to what
can be done to continue this work."
declared Mrs. Bradford after she had
been informed that there was no APP
preparation. "The failure of the
council to make this appropriation is
complete and battling surprise to
me. was given to understand that in
common with other funds our fund
would be reduced, but / had no idea
that it had been cut off. We have
made plans for work in Lincoln Park
and have employed people to have
charge of it, but we have no money
to pay them. Our funds are entirely
exhausted. The elimination of this
service is going to take lot Of JOY
out Of The hearts Of the children and
it is going to bring lot of complaints
/ am hopeful that the council will find
q way to make an appropriation from
some fund to take care of the work,
but / do not know what this will be-.
w will have the matter laid before
the council at its first meeting"

POLICE CHIEF
TO SEE HANGING
Chief Gets Invitation and
Ticket to Attend Neck
tie Parties in Chicago.
MAY DECLINE HONOR

If you, had ticket to see man
hung would you accept the invitation
and sit in the front row and see a
black cap adjusted and a mans life
snapped out to justify the law? This
was the question which was bother
ing Chief of Police Owen O'Hare this
morning following the receipt of a
letter from Chief of Detectives James
L. Mooney in Chicago in which the de-
tective chief announced that he was
saving ticket for the Kenosha chief
to witness part of the carnival of
hangings which is to take place in
Chicago the latter part of this month
Some eleven men are to be hung
on the different dates set and Chief
O'Hare is to have the privilege of
deciding just which one of the meek
tie" parties he will attend.
Not Anxious for Experience.
"No, never saw man executed
said the chief this morning, "and
do not believe that | want reserved
seat in the front row of any of the
special hanging sessions. 1t may be
that I will take the ticket and give
it to some one who is more curious,
but I don't think that will be present
at any Of these exhibitions. | am not
opposed to capital punishment, but l
would hate to be the man who had to
pull the drop to take another mans
life and / do not think that I would
want to be present when it was done.'
It is said that over ten thousand
requests to the various hangings to be
held in Chicago have been received by
the Chicago officers. A hundred tickets
will be issued for all of them.

KenOshans fielp
Destitute Families
Kenoshans Hurry To Help of Families
Burned Out in New Munster
Fire on Friday.

When the news reached Kenosha on
Friday morning that the village Of
New Munster was in danger Of being
wiped off the map by the fire that was
raging here, several Kenoshans under
the direction of the Kenosha County
Red Gross hurried to the village with
supplies for the destitute families.
Word reaching Kenosha declared
that the entire village was endangered
and that there was chance that pro-
visions would be badly needed. Act
ing on this suggestion the Kenogha
Retailers association took out 80
loaves of bread, donated by Kappus
Brothers; 8 gallons Of milk, offered
by Harry Bruner, and Is pounds of
ham,. given by the Hampel markets.
They topped this off with box of
cigars for those who had to have their
smokes, sent by Becker Cigar company.
When the party reached New Munster
they found that the reports Of the fire
had been exaggerated, but despite this
they delivered the provisions to the
Kenosha Service League took the re-
sponsibility of securing clothes for
the family that had all their cloth
ing burned up in the fire.
Statements from the owners Of the
destroyed property this morning show
ed that they had suffered heavy loss
from the flames. The buildings were
old and valued at about $4,000, al
though it will cost much more than
that to replace them. The Insurance
is said to have been in the neighbof-
hood of $4,000. The contents of the
buildings will bring the total loss up
to close to $4,000. It is not believed
that any attempts will be made to re-
build in the near future.

CITY CAUGHT
in BIG STORM
Electrical and Rain Storm
ParaIyzes Kenosha on
Friday Afternoon.
DAMAGE AND DESYAL

Kenosha staggered Friday afternoon
beneath the blows of the heaviest cleo
trical and rain storm that has struck
the city in recent years. The near
tornado started just before three o.
clock when electric power in the city
was practically paralyzed as a result
Of the wires being torn by the effect
of the lightning. The bolts struck
home dozen places in the city and
leveled trees and wires in their path.
Half dozen fires sprung up and kept
the fire department busy preventing
serious damage.
After the electrical Storm the rain
came in torrents and deluged the en-
tire city. The sewers were unable to
carry away the flood of water quickly
enough and in all the low parts of the
city the easements Of the homes were
flooded. In one house on Fremont ave-
nue. the water rose to height Of sew
eral feet in the basement within the
three hours that the rain storm was
at its worst.
Stops All Industry.
The most serious damage done by
the storm was to the electrical connec-
tions to the larger industries of the
city were burned out. and the plants
were left without power At the
American Brass company the high
power wires leading to the power
house of the plant were snapped by
the bolt and the live wires falling to
the ground burned deep hole there.
The rain storm which followed the
electrical disturbance prevented the
electric wiremen from repairing the
heavy damage done to the wires until
after eight o'clock in many parts Of
the city. One delay occasioned by the
storm was at the plant of the Kenosha
News Publishing company where an
inability to secure electrical power I'M
til after eight o'clock delayed the reg
ular edition Of this paper until that
hour.
The telephone lines in the city and
county were badly crippled but quick
work brought them back almost to
normal today.
Hits Simmons Flag Pole.
At the Simmons company the large
flag pole was struck by lightning and
came down with crash, almost catch
ing an employee of the company who
was crossing the yard There was 9TH
er minor damage at that plant as a
result Of the same bolt of lightning.
Of the numerous trees struck during
the storm, the most interesting case
was that of the large willow tree at
the side of the home of Mrs. John
Ward at the corner Of Market and
Congress streets. It was large giant
of the primeval forest and was one
of the landmarks of the city. The bolt
Of lightning which brought it to the
ground passed through the Ward home
where the occupants while not struck
by the force Of it were blinded by its
brilliancy.
A house at 720 Park avenue and an
other at the corner Of Rowland and
Tanck avenues were struck by light
ming but the fire department in both
cases arrived in time to prevent seri-
Gus damage.
The storm brought busy night for
all electrical employees of the city and
those who are employed by the engi-
neering departments. At a late hour last
night practically all of the sewers had
been opened and much Of the water
backed up from the cloudburst had
