NOT TO LIMIT
USE OF SCHOOLS
Superintendent LoOmis Ex-
plains Recent Action
of Board.
TO ENCOURAGE USE

School activities and proper uses of
the auditoriums and gymnasiums of
the city school plant will not be hamp-
cred, according to statement issued
by the superintendent of schools this
morning. "The ideas of the school
board have been misunderstood or mis-
construed" said the superintendent.
What We want to do is to open more
fully these portions of school buildings
for the right kind of activities and bar
their use for the wrong kind. We want
1t understood that it is not the inten-
ton Of school officials to hinder the
use Of auditoriums and gymnasiums
for any purpose which will advance
educational movements in the city and
reputable organizations will have a
chance to use them on the payment of
small fee for entertainments for
which charge may be made"
Free Use to Aid Schools.
we want the people to understand
that the buildings will be opened gladly
and freely for the use Of organizations
directly connected with the advance
ment of the moral or educational in
terests of the. community. The only
provision is that a small charge will
be made to take care of janitor service
and we hope to find some way to elm
mate this charge later. Where an ad-
mission is charged for such entertain
ments, small fee will be charged but
this will not be in any way burden
some. The whole idea is to have these
school buildings used for the best pos
siDle purposes and in the widest posi-
BILE manner"
At the next meeting of the board of
education, the matter will be fully
cleared up by an amended report Of
the committee which has been investi-
eating the matter. This report is ex-
pected to provide for very interesting
and extended school activities.

Sheriff Joseph Meyer allege that he
received money from Louis Schrayer
upon the payment and understanding
shat for said sum so paid to him. he,
the said Joseph NJ. Meyers, would re-
frain from arresting or causing the
arrest of said Louis Schrayer for, I'M
lawfully maintaining and operating
gambling houses and devices or for the
commission of other crimes, feIonies
and misdemeanors in said county of
Kenosha, and as sheriff of said county
of Kenosha use the power and infIu-
ence of his said Office to prevent the
arrest of said Louis Schrayer and to
protect the said Louis Schrayer from
interference and molestatien in the
unlawful maintenance and operation of
gambling houses and devices
The indictments under four separate
counts, allege that Meyers received
money from Schrayer for this purpose
as follows: October %, 1919, fifty dol
lars; October 80, 1919, fifty dollars;
November 6, 1919, Atty dollars; No
vember 10, 1919, fifty dollars. The
regularity with which the payments
are alleged to have been made seem
to indicate that Meyer was supposed
to receive fifty dollars a week from
the "ring" for the protection which
they demanded.
Was Arraigned This Morning.
Judge Belden, waited more than an
h6ur TUESDAY afternoon for Meyers
to appear and plead before the court
and when he failed to secure bondsmen
within that time left word that he
should be taken before Court Com
missioner Buckmaster for arraign-
ment. This was done just before six
o'clock Tuesday evening when temper
airy bonds were furnished. This morn
ing at nine o'clock he was formally
arraigned, pleaded "Not guilty" and
bonds were set at $4,000 for all the
counts. These after some scurrying
around were furnished and he was
released.
In the indictments mentioned no
statement is made as to whether
Schrayer was alleged to have paid
merely for his own protection" or
whether he acted as a paymaster for
the members of the alleged "ring" of
gambling house operators.
The cases against the two former
officials are set for trial in the com
ing session of the circuit court and
promise to be two of the most bitterly
fought cases on the calendar.

sion of the proposal in which treasury

for other than manufacturing pur-
poses, the committee did not include
the text in the bill to be presented

RESIGNATION OF
MITCHELL IN DOUBT
Secretary Weeks Gives No Statement
in Regard to Reputed New Break
in Air Forces.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Washington.-Secr Weeks today
refused to comment on published re-
ports that Brig.-Gen. William Mitchell,
assistant chief of the army air service,
had submitted his resignation follow
ing the action of Maj.-Gen. Menoher,
chief of the service, in having asked to
be relieved from duty with the air
service. The secretary of war indi-
Gated that the whole situation relative
to the air service was still unsettled
but that q decision as to Maj Zen.
Menoher's successor might be made at
any moment. Mr.. Weeks refused to
confirm or-deny the report that Gen.
Mitchell's resignation had been placed
in his hands in order that he might
have a clear field for such changes as
he might desire to make in the air
service due to the desire of General
Menoher to take up some other duty
Recently General Menoher asked that
General Mitchell be relieved from duty
as assistant chief, owing to the activ-
tiles of General Mitchell in connection
with the controversy as to whether
they should be consolidated or the air
service be created Independent of the
army and navy departments. The re-
quest for General Mitchell's relief was
later withdrawn by General Menoher
and Secretary Weeks Mas stated that
General Menoher's subsequent request
that he himself transferred to duty
when troops in the field had nothing
to do with the previous controversy
with General Mitchell.
