HOLY ROSARY
HELD JUBILEE
Hundreds Flock to Church
For Opening Service on
Sunday Morning.
MANY GIVE FREELY

Crowded to the doors was the Holy
Rosary church on Sunday morning at
ten o'clock at the service held under
the direction of the Reverend Father
Pribyl, marking the re-opening of the
church and the lifting of the ban placed
against it by Archbishop Messmer sew
eral months ago following the internal
church difficulties which were marked
by the attempt to drive the Reverend
Peter Perardi, former pastor of the
church, from the parsonage. Outside
the church doors scores gathered and
waited because the seating capacity of
the church would not accommodate all
who wished to attend the service.
There was no commotion of any kind.
Everywhere it was evident that the
church difficulties had all been oblit-
Grated and that all were glad that the
doors of the shrine were again opened
and the privileges of the church re-
turned to the parishioners.
Celebrate Sacred Festival.
1t happened that the occasion was
also the time for the celebration of
the Feast Day of Our Lady of Mt.
Carmel and this fact also attracted
many of the members of the parish to
the church. The celebration of the
feast started on Saturday evening
when the church yard and hall was
filled with hundreds who gathered to
observe the sacred holiday.
Mayor John G Joachim made short
address at the Saturday evening meet
ing in which he expressed his pleasure
that the troubles which had recently
beset the congregation had Been peace
ably settled. He urged the congrega-
ton to do all within their power to
maintain the good will with which the
church has been re-opened The ceIe-
bration was also marked by the sing
ing of severSa patriotic songs.
Give Literally to Church.
During the days of the feast, mem
bers of the congregation opened their
purses freely and gave for the support
of the church. Seven hundred and
forty dollars was raised by the con-
gregation for the various activities
of the congregation.
On Sunday morning Reverend Pribyl
solemnly conductedethe regular singing
of mass which re-opened the church
for services. In the afternoon the
annual professional in celebration of
the Feast of Mt. Carmel was staged
and in the evening the Reverend Father
Joseph Angelotti of Chicago, preached
to the congregation. There was no
mention nor need of police protection
or anything of the kind at any of the
meetings as all members of the congre-
CATION went peaceably to the services
and welcomed the re-opening of the
church.

BIG DEFALCATIONTS
ThOmsOn's Clever Manipulation of
Figures Makes Possible En-
bezzlement of Thousands.
Y Associated Press Leased Wire

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Austin, Minn.-An elaborate book
keeping system aided R. ]. Thomson,
comptroller of George A HORNED and
company, packers, in embezzling up
wards of $150,00O from the firm, Jay
HORNED, vice president said here today.
Thomson admitted to company Of
fcials that he had embezzled at "least
that amount"
The defalcation was accomplished,
Mr.. Horned said, by transferring re-
ceipts of the packing company to Oak
dale farms, one of Thomson's agricul-
tural enterprises which has attracted
wide attention because of the money
spent and the novel methods of run
ming them. When the books of the
packing company underwent their peri
odical audits the amounts were placed
by Thomson among the assets of the
corporation, HORNED asserted.
The shortage was discovered week
ago by Mr.. HORNED when he failed to
find $4,000 check RENTED to the com
pany He said he traced the check
to Thomson, who, Mr.. HORNED said,
admitted his guilt.
Thomson spent the day walking
about the grounds with his manager,
pointing out places where repairs Mere
needed, and greeting guests and friends.
"Why, it's all fixed up" Thomson
told newspaper men. 81 have turned
over more than enough to make good.
The settlement will be ample. do

Out of Job, Tired
of Doing Nothing
Miss Emily Gloss is Found on Church
Street and Taken to Her Home
by Officers.

The loss of her position at a local
factory, as a result of the recent bust
ness depression, led to Miss Emily
Gloss strange disappearance from her
home on Rowland avenue last Sunday
morning. The girl was found on
Church street just after four o'clock
Thursday afternoon and taken into
custody by police officers. She seemed
to be dazed and could give no coherent
account of her actions since she left
her brother on her way to church last
Sunday morning.
At her home she had nothing to say
other than that she was sorry she had
caused her mother so much concern.
She offered no explanation of her alb
sence and gave no account of her
whereabouts other than to say that
she seemed to have been in Kenosha
most of the time that she was missing.
She could remember nothing about "a
sailor" who was said to have been her
company Sunday afternoon or about
the places where he is reported to have
been seen with her.
In keeping with legal formalities she
appeared before Judge Clarkson this
morning, who talked to her in a father
ly way about the anxiety she had
caused her mother. Having assured
the court that she was sincerely sorry
her illness had been responsible for so
much mystery and worry, she was sent
home with her mother, who appeared
in court with her.
1t is said that she will shortly leave
Kenosha for vacation trip, which, it
is hoped, will restore her shattered
nerves.

being able to break Jail in Kenosha, as

"There1l be none Of that, though
Assistant Chief Cyzak said on Sunday.
We've got these birds and we're going
to hold them here until federal officials
come to get them"
While nothing positive can be said
upon the matter, it is not believed that
Foster and Bell have any connection
with the old auto bandit ring, which is
thought to have had it's center in Ke-
nosha and the alleged ring-leaders of
which are now on trial in Judge K. M.
Landis' federal court. They are APP
parently free lances who had no inten-
ton of marketing their loot in Keno

SPONGE SQUAD
USES THE MOP
Thad Logan's Newly Or
gained Sponge Squad
Uses Mop Freely.
VISIT MANY PLACES
Blind Pigs, Disorderly Houses,
Saloons and Resorts Get
Official Visit.

That the new acting chief of police
Thad Logan will not remain inactive,
was demonstrated Saturday night when
the new chief passed out the word for
the sponge squad" to get their mops
ready for cleanup that night. The
word was passed around quietly and
the squad consisting of Assistant
Chief Cyzak, Detective Rock and
Breidt, Secretary Meissner and Of
fcers Rock and McClusky got in readi-
ness for flying trip to the distillers
Of moonshine and spreaders of other
vice in Kenosha.
cred Mike First Visited.
"Red Mike" was the first number
down for an official visit from the
sponge squad and his place on Con-
gross street became the objective Of
the cleanup forces. The doors were
locked when the officers arrived and
before they could be forced the gurgle
Of liquor going down the sink was
heard. By the time the officers effected
an entrance nothing but home brew
was found. RED Mike" and a woman
were taken into custody and will be
arraigned during the day.
Genautis Gets Second Honors.
John Genautis, who has been more
times in the municipal court for of
lenses against the dry laws than per-
haps any other trafficker in liquor in
Kenosha, was honored by the second
visit from the sponge squad. Johns
face is familiar one to court at
taches and his appearance caused no
comment among the officials in the
court this morning. Outside of three
gallons of 'moon," a quart of colored
concoction Of some home brew known
only to the Polish people, and three
or four bottles of "small stuff he had
nothing illicit. At house at the corner
of Park and Wescott streets, half
pint of brown moonshine and three
bottles of home brew was taken.
Visit Disorderly House.
An alleged disorderly house at 563
Bond street, south Of the Brassville
Hotel, was the next shop scheduled by
Assistant Chief Cyzak who was in
charge of the cleanup. There haa been
the report brought in that the actions
of members of the house had been
improper and more public than priv
ate. A thorough search of the place
however, failed to discover any viola
tions of the law The place is being
watched, however. The final visit of
the sponge squad was on Grand avenue
at meat market. Here nothing was
found.

Nash Employee
Apostle in Zion
M. ]. Mintern, Formerly Employed
Here, is Ordained Apostle at Zion
Tabernacle on Sunday.

Interest in the celebration of the
Feast of the Tabernacle in Zion on
Sunday conferred for Kenosha in the
fact that NJ. j. Mintern, an employee
of the Nash Motors company as ma
chinist, was one of the four men or
dained as apostles in the church of
that city. The apostolic college at
Zion is now complete, there being
twelve apostles in the church as in the
organization of the early church. An
other feature of the celebration was
that the people practically filled a bar
rel with their silver Offering for the
support of schools IN Zion. Many Ke-
noshans and residents of all Lake
Shore cities attended the services al
Z;on en- Sunday and helped make it the
greatest celebration ever held there.

Shuts Work Effective.

General SHUTS had not figured pre-
viously in the conference which had
been going ON at Downing street since
the truce went into effect, his last
known active participation in the meet
ing having been on the occasion of his
return from Dublin the week before
last when he reported the result of
his visit to LloydGeorge and to King
George. 1t was learned today, how
ever, that the prime minister and Gen
eral SHUTS had long discussion at
Chequers Court. 1t was Gen. Shuts
Dublin trip which is believed to have
had much to do with bringing the Irish
delegations to London for the peace
conferences.
AS for de Valera's joining any con-
ference at present with Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, this is de-
clared by Sim Fem spokesman to be
out of the question. The Sim Fein
leaders declare Mr.. de Valera consid-
ers the Ulster premier as outside the
scope of the present negotiations and
they have declined to indicate even
whether he would be regarded by them
as party to the discussion. They
we're leaving the British government
to deal with him, they declare.
Craig Stumbling Block.
At the conclusion of the conference
participated in by Lloyd-George, Wis
count Fitzallan and General SHUTS, the
prime minister called the cabinet
members to meet him in the house Of
commons this afternoon, after which
Mr.. de Valera was asked to call at
Downing street at 4:15 o'clock, Sir
James Craig, BIT was stated, was to be
invited to come to Downing street
early this evening.
Meanwhile the Ulster premier was
continuing his consultations with the
members of his cabinet whom he called
here last week.
The developments were accepted in
we'll informed quarters as indications
that whatever immediate difficulty may
exist lies between the prime minister
and the Obstetrics, in view of the
statement from de Valera's party yes
terdav that they did not know what
Sir James was doing and that the
British were dealing with him.

DEATH CHEATS
RETURN HOME
Mrs. Mary Pena Dies After
Short Illness on Eve of
Return to Italy.
HAD BOOKED PASSAGE

In the little home at 107 Edward
street, last week, everything was
decked with cheerfulness that spoke
of the happiest moments in the lives
of Mary Pena and her husband, Frank.
After eleven years Of residence in
America, the dream for a return to the
home of their birth became more and
more vivid, until they decided that
their earnings were at last sufficient
to allow trip back to Italy.
Accordingly the couple during the
past year had done everything neces-
sary to make their return home sooner
and possible The husband had not
been so unfortunate as to lose mis- 100
in the business slump of the past year
and half and everything pointed to a
realization Of their hopes.
Two weeks ago Frank Pena had made
application at Washington for a pass
port to Italy and as soon as that was
received he booked passage for two on
one of the great liners working be-
tween Italy and America.

preparing to leave Kenosha next week

But the fates had held hasty con-
sultation and decreed that the arrange
ments could not go through.
Three days ago Mary Pena was taken
with a severe illness that suddenly
took a turn for the worst. For two
days she lowered on deaths brink, and
finally death won. Mary Pena died at
her home at LOT Edward street yester-
day morning at 1880 o'clock.

Joe Maggie, Ball Player, is Admitted to
the Bar in Chicago.
1t hasn't happened yet, and it may
not happen soon; but at any time he
cares to, Joe Nagle, formerly with the
Simmons baseball team here and now
with the Logan Squares in Chicago,
can leave the sand-lot for the bar of
justice. Having successfully passed
his examinations, he has been admitted
to the Illinois bar and may take up
the practice of law in Chicago as soon
as he can find an acceptable place to
hang out his single. The reports on
his examinations indicate that he pass
ed with high honors and prophesy
brilliant career in the legal profession.
1t is not thought that he will give up
the national game this season; in fact
he may continue to play even after he
has become a full-fledged lawyer or
judge in the Chicago courts. 1t has been
suggested that Mr.. Nagle would make
an admirable aide for Judge Kenesaw
