SARG PRESENTS
RIP VAN WRINKLE
Great American Play Here
Nov. 3 Staged by Fam
GUS Marionettes.
ALSO ROSE AND RING

Tony Sarg's Marionettes are coming
to town! And in Rip Van Wrinkle, too!
Those who wish to spend two hours of
sheer delight and fascination, alter
mating between tears and laughter,
will not fail to go and see these little
wonders of the stage which have been
the joy of New York and London, and
won applause from artists the whole
world over. Tony Sarg has been nam
ed genius, and courted by personag-
es like David Belasco, and Madame
Yvette Guilbert.
The Marionettes will appear at Ke-
nosha Thursday afternoon and eve
ming, November 3, at the Virginian
theatre under the auspices of the Cath
Ollie Women's club. In the afternoon
the Crosse and the Ring" will be play
ed, and in the evening there will be a
gala performance of Grip Van Win
kle."
The World in Miniature
The plays which Mr.. Sarg is bring
ing to Kenosha have been played with
huge success at the Neighborhood
Playhouse in New York under the aus
pices of Alice and Irene Lewisohn and
also at the Little Theatre under the
management of Winthrop Ames. He
has given other plays, notably "The
Green Suit" and "a Stolen Beauty and
the Great Jewel" but none have found
such universal favor as the fairy tale
of Thackeray's "The Rose and the
Ring" and Washington Irving's master
piece of Grip Van Wrinkle"
Looking upon Mr.. Sarg's tiny stage,
one sees the world in miniature. and
is transported rapturously into a de-
lightful land of color and beauty. The
Marionettes' have in their actions a
strong SAVIOR of the grotesque and the
comic, even when delivering them
selves of high and lofty part, but the
contrast somehow adds to the delicacy
and tenderness of that miniature
world. Against the brilliant back
ground of color the manikins move
with an irresistible charm of attitude
and gesture. Humor, skill, ingenuity,
sense of color and composition have
all gone into this exquisite stage
craft.
Sarg a Master at a Unique Art
Tony Sarg was for many years q
painter and a designer of posters.
Now these manikins of his are aston
ishingly ingenious and their character
and antics and daring color-effects be-
tray that quality of style which made
Sarg's work in illustration and poster
design noteworthy.
He has been playing with Marion
cites for more than eight years. At
his studio in London, which was the
very "0ld Curiosity Shop" that Dick
ems wrote of, the book in which he
lovingly presented Little Nell," Sarg
had puppet stage where he gave per-
formances for the amusement of his
friends.
The puppet play is an ancient art
and was known to Greece and Rome;
puppets flourished in China, Japan,
Siam and throughout the East. In
England in 1912 the play of Marion
cites was brought to stage of per-
lection, and greatly angered the Pur-
itans, because the people deserted the
churches to go to see the wee actors
and actresses of tn puppet stage.
Goethe and Voltaire were among the
enthusiasts who saw the great art pos
sibilities of the Marionettes, and aid
ed in developing this addition to the
stage.

Report of Assessor on Real Estate Values in
City Brings Increase of S1,8O3,O60
for the Year.
INCREASE BASED ON IMPROVEMENTS
Only 100000 of Increase is Found in Value of Lands in
City = First Ward Has Lead in Value of
Real Estate - Seventh Lowest

other emphasis to the need of re-
districting of the city in order that the
taxable property of the city may be
properly represented on the common
council and other official boards of the
city. 1t shows that there are at the
present time injustices in the ward
lines Of the city which should be cor
rected.
The work of making the valuation of
the personal property of the city has
been under way for the past two
months and the assessor is hopeful that
the schedules will all have been re-
turned by the end Of the present week
1t is certain that the completed assess
ment of the property will be somewhere
between $50,000,00O and $60,OO0,OOO and
there is yet hope that the last named
figure may be reached.
On the valuation made by the city
assessor all city taxes will be levied.
The amount of the tax to be paid by
Kenosha city and county is based on
the arbitrary figures made by the Wis
consin state tax commission.

HONOR HEROES
Mrs. G. A. Yule to Give
American Elm for Each
Boy Who Fell.
ASKS PARENTS AID
Trees Will Be Delivered Before
Armistice Day and May Be
Planted Any Place.


Adding a personal touch to the great
movement to honor the men who fell in
the great war by planting memorial
trees in their honor, Mrs. George A.
Yule, prominent Kenosha woman, this
morning announced that she would give
an American elm to be planted as a
memorial to each one of the nearly
hundred Kenosha county boys who
gave up their lives battling for world
freedom.
There is no special provision made
as to where the trees will be planted
and Mrs. Yule has suggested that the
parents and other relatives of the
heroic dead plant these elms of COM
memoration at any place they see fit
and mark them as they may desire.
The sturdy trees will be delivered by
Mrs. Yule before Armistice Day and
she is hopeful that this anniversary
of the ending of the war will see an
elm planted as a testimonial to each
one of the Kenosha county boys who
fell in the struggle.
Selects Trees With Great Care.
Mrs. Yule has further added the per-
sonal touch to her memorial to the
men who sacrificed by selecting these
trees with great care with view of
finding elms which will be stately
elms" in the distant future.
81 am anxious to get into touch with
the parents or the near relatives of
every one of the Kenosha county
soldiers who gave his life in the war;"
said Mrs. Yule this morning. q want
every one of the boys to be remem-
bered in this little distribution of
trees. | am not DESTROYS of saying
where the trees may be planted, but
want these people who have sacrificed
much to plant the trees where they
think they will serve best as a mem
orial to the boys. l have sent out
postal cards to all the addresses which
could be secured from the Red Cross
and l want to get a prompt response
from these cards that 1 may know just
how many of the trees to provide. l

livery at my home, 525 Durkee avenue,

Wants None Overlooked.
81 am anxious that tree be planted
for every one of our heroic dead. l
know that some of the lists are incom-
plete and we may have failed to send
post cards to some of the relatives of
the boys, but this commission has not
been Intentional and if there are, any
parents or relatives who do not re-
ceive the cards I want them to let me
know that provision may be made to
see that tree is provided for them.

nosha county boys"
The action of Mrs. Yule is in keep
ing with the nationwide plan to hon
or the heroic dead on Armistice Day.
In hundreds of communities plans
have been worked out for the planting
of trees on this date and Mrs. Yule
has made it possible for the relatives
of Kenosha county heroes to have
their full part in this festival of re-
membrance.

WILL SEEK PENALTIES
FROM CEMENT TRUST
Attorney General Morgan Will Bring
Action to Collect Penalties
Following Suit


Madison The prosecution started
yesterday by the federal government
against an alleged illegal combination
of cement shippers will be followed by
an action on the part of Wisconsin to
recover treble damages under the
Sherman antitrust act, Attorney GEN
eral William J. Morgan said when he
returned here today.
The plan of action on the part of
the state will be presented to Governor
Blaine today or tomorrow for his APP
prevail. 1t will mean suit to determ-
inc whether the state is person I'M
der meaning of the federal antitrust
act and can recover treble damages for
alleged losses suffered as a result of
the combination that is said to exist.
Attorney General Morgan declares
that millions of dollars have been lost
to Wisconsin through operation of al
legged cement combinations. The high
cost of cement, according to A. R. Hirst
high engineer has been largely respon-
sible for curtailment of concrete road
construction.
The state highway department has
been cooperating with the attorney
generals office in furnishing inform
alton relative to, activities of the ce-
ment men.
eve are especially anxious to have
the government take action in the ce-
ment case as the basis of action we
desire to take to protect the interests
of Wisconsin" Mr.. Morgan said. "The
way is now clear for US to act and we
will submit our plans which have the
approval of the federal government,
to the governor before acting"
G. E. Clifford, special assistant at
torney general will prosecute the case
for Wisconsin.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. from the
house of representatives of Thomas l..
Blanton, Democrat, Texas, was called
for in resolution introduced today by
Representative Mondell, the Republi-

to expel was the publication in the
Congressional Record as part of an
extension of remarks by Blanton of an
affidavit relating to row at the gov
eminent printing Office which affidavit
was characterized by some house mem
bers as obscene and unfit for transmits
sion through the mails. In Blanton's
absence, consideration of the resolu-
ton was deferred until Thursday.

Budapest-Former Emperor Charles
whose attempt to re-estabhsh himself
upon the Magyar throne, met with dis
NAL failure yesterday, attempted to
commit suicide by shooting following
his arrest near Komorn. Former En-
press Zita saw him preparing to shoot
himself and prevented him from carry
ing out his intention.
The former emperor and empress
are now prisoners in the Esterhazy
castle at Tata-Tovaros, and Thomas B.
Hohler, British high commissioner in
Hungary, is hurrying there with the
representatives of other nations to in
sure the safety of the prisoners.
Orders sent to the rebellious troops
supporting Charles by Admiral Horthy,
the Hungarian regent, spelled the doom
of Charles attempt to regain at least
a part of his former empire The re
gent reminded the soldiers of their
oath of allegiance to him and demand
ed their unconditional obedience, add
ing that the success of their undertake
ing would mean the ruin of the
country. Inc AA1h oJdliu VI %ANAAAA a
Horthy had its effect and the royal
forces scattered. Latest advices from
the section of the country around
Komorn indicated the government
troops continued their pursuit of the
royalists and that the Karlist premier,
M. Rakovsky and Count Andrassy, were
captured by the loyal troops.
Charles plan to return to the Hun
garian throne having failed, the Hun
garian government will probably await
action by the allied troops, regarding
his future place of residence. 1t is
known that Switzerland will not again
give him refuge and it is possible
that he will be removed to some place
where he will be virtual prisoner
of the allied powers.
The followers of the former emperor
are reported to have lost half their
number in attempting to retreat to
Tata-Tovaros. The railroad line had
been cut and they were forced to aban-
don their trains. When they attempt
ed to march across the country peas
ants cut off their retreat towards the
south.
Capture of Gustav Graetz, former
ministers of foreign affairs, who was
involved in the attempt of the former
emperor to regain the throne, is
reported. ~

Real estate values in Kenosha have
been increased nearly 100000 in the
1921 valuation of the property of the
city of Kenosha, which was made pub
lie by Assessor John w. Stevens this
morning, and 35-mill tax on this new
valuation will mean an increase in the
tax roll of more than 100000. If the
personal assessments, which are now
being completed, keep pace with those
of last year, and it is expected that
they will, the city tax officials may find
it possible to get enough money out of
increased real estate valuation to make
it unnecessary to increase the mill tax
for the new year.
The total value of the real estate and
improvements in the city for the pres
ent year, as shown by the report of the
assessor, is $39,371 $40, as compared
with a valuation in 1920 of 1868, 780.
1t is admitted that the value placed on
the city real estate is not as high as
the valuation placed by the Wisconsin
state tax commission in the recent val
uation for the assessment of state tax
alton, but the figures prepared by AS
SCISSOR Stevens closely follow sales
value Of property in the city and it is
considered fair valuation of the prop
erty of the city.
Big Increase in improvements.
The report indicates that the build
ing industries of Kenosha have not
been entirely idle and nearly all of the
Inc -.
ments of property. The value of the
lands for the present year is placed at
$13,550,780 as compared with $13,250,-
1916. This shows an increase of just a
little over 100000 and this is produced
by readjustment of values rather than
from any uniform increase in the land
values Of the city. The value of i'm
provements in the city is placed at
$25,S21 060. This is an increase Of more
than $1,500,000 over the value of i'm
provements as made in the 1920 valu-
alton. Listed among the new improve
ments on real estate are scores of new
residences and number of large addi-
tions to the factories Of the city. The
assessment was made as of the first of
May and it is said that large number
of new buildings have been started
since that time and the valuations for
these new buildings will not be added
to the city taxable property until next
year.
First Ward is Leader.
The first ward of the city leads in
land and Improvement for the year
with total valuation for the ward of
S7129, ITO. The second ward, consid.
cred as largely residence ward, is
second on the list with property valued
at $6,719,150. The valuation of the
real estate as given by wards follows:

QUITS
CRUSADING JOB
That He Has Handed i'm His
Resignation is Rumor
Not Denied.
WOULDN'T GO NORTH

Federal Agent John Scholey, who has
served the people of Kenosha county
variously as constable and deputy state
prohibition commissioner, and finally
as an official for Uncle Sam, but always
with lance in his hand as a crusader
against Sir John Barleycorn and King
Alcohol, is going to retire to private
life once more as plain John Scholey.
Rumor has it that the doughty crusader
sent in his resignation to Washington
last Friday.
While the news may be received with
a shout of rejoicing in some quarters.
there are other places which will greet
the announcement with a sigh, for
Scholey during the brief two years he
has been at work has made his name
known as one of the best Of agents for
prohibition enforcement and undertook
the work at time when it was lonely
one-man job.
Excellent Sponge Squad Aide.
At present in Kenosha there are 9TH
err departments interested in a cleanup
of vice conditions, including the police
and sheriff's offices and that of the~dis-
trict attorney, but Scholey's aid has
always been asked in making, raids and
he has been looked upon as a worthy
representative of the federal depart
ment which hired him.
Scholey would not deny that ne was
resigning or that he had sent in his
resignation, although he said today
that the whole matter was a little pre-
vious and that he was not yet ready
with a public statement. It is under
stood that his resignation followed
upon an assignment by the authorities
to the lumber camps in northern Wis
consin.
Almost a Promotion.
The assignment to the north might
have been regarded by Scholey as a
distinct promotion and as a recogni-
tion of his courage and special talent
as the region is one where other en-
forcement agents have failed.
Scholey, however, has looked upon
Kenosha county as his special field and
has been particularly anxious to see
his home town and county made a law
abiding community. He knows the ter
ritory here and the peculiar ruses used
by the law violators to evade detection
as is shown in the success of his work
so far. Besides, his family lives here
and Scholey is very much of "home-
body" desiring to spend his leisure
time with his own people.
