Take the Pulse
on Soldier Bonus
Representatives. of "The Stars and
Stripes" Come to Kenosha to
Present Bonus Proposal.

The bonus for the men who served
the flag in arms in the war days was
being talked again in Kenosha today
when H. A. Gauer and Charles E. Cope
land, representing "The Stars and
Stripes" the service mems paper that
has come out strongly for the bonus,
started the work of feeling the pulse
of Kenesha towards the various bonus
plans presented. They conferred with
Mayor Joachim and with representa-
tives of the various civic organizations
of Kenosha and prepared for several
meetings to be held here soon in the
interest of their referendum.
They are circulating a petition
which the service men and business
men of the city are asked to sign,
showing their attitude on the bonus
proposition. They are suggesting a
new plan providing for paid-up insur-
ance for the man who served the ma

support among the persons visited in
Kenosha. The men will confer with
the officers of the .Kenosha post of the

Florence E. Allen, the only woman in

NORTH CAROLINA MOB
HANGS TWO NEGROES
Warrenton, North Carolina, is Quiet
Today After a Night of Rioting
and Bloodshed.
(By Associated Press)

Warrenton, n C. This town, the
scene last night of the lypching of
two negroes by mob of masked men
and the source of wild rumors of
clashes and impending clashes between
armed blacks and whites was restored
to quiet today. A company Of home
guards ordered out last night by Gov.
Morrison too late to prevent the dou-
BILE lynching, still was on duty and
further trouble was not anticipated
The lynching was the elimination of
several days of ill-feeling between
negroes and whites of Norlina which
reached climax early Sunday in a
pitched gun battle therein which five
white men and three negroes were
wounded. Thirteen negroes were ar
rested and brought to jail here. Last
night the mob numbering about $50
surrounded the Jail, quickly overpow-
cred the negro jailer, took Alfred
Williams and Plummer Bullock, two
of the prisoners, a mile outside of
town and riddled them with bullets as
they stood by the roadside

Or perhaps, it is the debutante who,

Buck is Opposed to
Income SurtaX Bill
into Glasses; Puts Burden on
Men of Industry.

State Senator Buck of this district
says he is opposed to the income sur
tax bill introduced in the upper house
by Senator H. ]. Severson, of Waupaca
county. The bill provides for gradu-
ated surtax on income above $4,000
and follows quite closely the general
provisions of the tax measure adopted
by the special session of the legislature
to finance the soldiers bonus law and
soldiers education law.
Senator Buck said the surtax will be
for raising about $6,000,000 additional
funds to pay the additional expense of
the University of Wisconsin, normal
schools and common schools of the
state.
81 am opposed to the BILL" said Sem
ator Buck, because it, in effect, div
ides the people into classes and places
the burden upon those who have had
the nerve to establish industries in
our state. Should this bill become
law it will discourage new industries
from locating within the borders of
Wisconsin"
A review of the bill shows that it
creates a general fund from which the
common schools will receive so per
cent of the tax so collected; the uni
versity Is per cent; the normal schools
10 per cent and the state highways Is
per cent.

I legged to have been paid over by men
who went into the show informally"
1t was admitted that some thirty or
forty of the men Slipped under the
canvas when the west door of the col
iseum was broken down in the charge
of the light brigade from Chicago.
This, however, did not account for the
rest of the "dead heads"
Arnold Bross was one of the men ex-
amined at the conference and he told
of the Kidding" between the members
of the hopping up squad. LeGinger
also called in during the afternoon sew
eral men who had served as "inspec-
tors" at the various doors and he
promised to have the rest of the in
sspectors present at the conference in
Milwaukee today. The head Of the
state commission indicated an active
interest in the commission securing it's
split of the entrance fees of the men
who did not pay at the front door.
It will probably get its estimate Of
the amount of this split later or.
Get Nothing on officials.
The conference did not bring out any
facts in regard to any member of the
police or fire department. getting any
money other than talk among people
of the city and gossip among fight
fans. Chief O'Hare and Chief Schwartz
defended their men to the limit and in
sisted that they be shown if any If
reguIarities took place. Promoter Fra
zier declared that the house was sold
out before the doors were opened and
that no money was taken in at the box
Office. He said that he could not give
finland list of the sixty-eight ush-
ers. LeGinger suggested that half as
many ushers would be lot and sug-
gasted that if Kenosha ever had anoth-
er fight show that men in uniform
should act as ushers. None of the
ushers were paid for their service and
the ones who appeared at the confer
ence admitted that it was difficult to
control the crowd even with the sixty
eight on duty and that lot of people
got into the wrong seats. The ushers
said that they had not heard of any
large tips being handed out.
Chief Says He VIII Give Protection.
Chief O'Hare told the boxing com
mission head that the city would con-
tinue to furnish police protection for
boxing shows. Chief Schwartz told
him that the minute the place was
file to seating capacity in the future
the doors would be barred if necessary
and no one allowed to enter.
The commissioner indicated that if
boxing shows were to be held in the
future in Kenosha that the entire
seating arrangement of the Coliseum
must be changed and the number of
seats reduced to the point where the
crowd could be handled.
1t was pointed out the Kenosha had
been no exception to the rule in regard
to the coming of Chicago fight fans.
Similar conditions have prevailed at
Hudson and at Benton Harbor, Mich.
The commission, admitted that it was
pretty bad crowd coming out of Chi
cago. At the end of it all the ques-
ton was still Money! Money! Who
got the money?

KEN()SHA BOYS
ASKED TO CAMP
Local Youths Are Invited
to Put in Applications
for Camp Roosevelt.
is BEST OF TRAINING

Kenosha youths were asked today to
consider the plan of spending the
summer at Camp Roosevelt at Muske-
gon, Michigan, at the military camp
which is conducted there, in the open
ing bulletin sent out from the head
quarters of the camp in Chicago. Last
year one Kenosha lad was at the camp
and came back with glowing reports. of
his vacation training. 1t is expected
that several from this city will go to
Muskegon this year.
The race for memberships in the
camp is all ready on in Chicago. It
was given a surprisingly sudden push
from an unexpected source, which set
the ball rolling in good order.
Chicago Banker Helps.
Through the fundamentally Of one
Of the Chicago banks, Donald NJ. Lock
EFT, Camp Roosevelt veteran. who is on
ly starting his business career, has
evolved a plan for starting boys to-
ward a successful business career. He
and the employees Of the bank where
he works each contributed a dollar
toward establishing q savings fund for
Is boys. This savings fund is for the
purpose of inducing boys to accumu-
late sufficient money to send them to
Camp Roosevelt for at least one per
iod during the coming summer of 1921.
The money was distributed in the
following manner. The first boy fran
each high school to send in a signed
application for the camp of 1921 had
an account opened in his name at the
bank and the initial dollar was credit
ed to his account. 1t is Captain Beals'
aim to increase the number of savings
accounts to one hundred.
Helps to Teach Thrift.
This is one of the surest ways for
boys to collect sufficient money to car
ry them through the camp season, and
with such an early start it should
prove not difficult task. 1t not only
helps the boy to save for Camp Roose-
velt, it helps to inculcate in him the
savings habit, habit which cannot be
started too early in life. Thrift means
Success, and success is the thing we
are all striving for.
A Great Man-Maker.
Camp Roosevelt is one of the great
est boy builders or man makers that
has yet been conceived Here a con-
sistent effort is made to develop a
boy along all lines, to develop whatever
latent business ability or talent he
may have. He learns to transact his
own business, and, in fact, to look af-
ter himself in all circumstances.
Great interest is being shown in this
movement in Chicago, with strong
probability that other communities
will adopt similar plan through other
interested organizations or public spir-
tied men toward starting boys on a ca
reer of saving.

SCH(lT.EY SEEKS
PAY FOR LABOR
Kenosha Man, Active in
Raids May Not be Re-
imbursed by State.
JURORS ARE IN DOUBT

Who is to pay John Schcley, sup
nosed TO be state prohibition agent
for his services in assisting in raids
conducted in Racine county during
the past two weeks?
1t was the belief that Scholey as
state prohibition agent was receiving
salary from the state, but 1t was
reported today that he is not on the
state pay roll and will seek to have
Racine county pay him for his labors
in locating stills and raiding places
where liquor was supposed to be offer
al for sale, either by drink, bottle or
ease.
Saturday afternoon it was reported
that Scholey had made request that
Racine county pay him for services
rendered in the raiding of over score
of saloons and homes and that he be
reimbursed for money expended in his
work as we'll as for travel expenses.
Sheriff James in Doubt.
Sheriff James of Racine county, when
asked regarding the matter, stated that
he did not know what fund he could
issue an order on and refused to take
up the matter. He advised that Scho-
lev consult District Attorney Beck or
tho Judge Of the Municipal Court, who
has been imposing fines on persons
found guilty of violations of the pro-
hibition laws.
1t is possible that Scholey's name
could have been placed on the lists Of
names of deputy sheriffs, who are
assigned to certain duty and receive
SC E day, but as Scholey was not a
resident Of Racine county, it is claim
ed that this could not be legally done.
II the state refuses to reimburse Scho-
lev, then it is probable that he will
have to bring suit to recover, both for
wages and money expended by him for
expenses.
Scholey for two weeks has been
working with Sheriff James and depu-
ties in raids throughout Racine coun-
ty and the presumption was that he
was working. under appointment, with
state prohibition agents.
What amount Of money Scholey be-
lieves he is entitled to either from Ra-
cine county or the state, could not be
learned.
scholey came to Kenosha Saturday
morning and is expected to return to
Racine today to testify in cases to be
heard in the Municipal court.
