President of School Board Glerum and Mayor
Joachim Each Give Their Side of
KenOsha School Situation.
DEBATED AT THE DEFINING SCHOOL
1ach Speaker Had His Gun Loaded for Bear" and
Each Fired BrOadside Into the Opposing
Camp Last Night

There was hot time in the old town
asst night. If you were anywhere
round the parent-teachers' meeting at
ne Deming school last night you al
eady know it, but in case you were
rot fortunate enough to hear President
ilerum of the Board of Education and
Mayor Joachim representing the City
Council, you missed a mighty good
opportunity of hearing the first hand
facts concerning the school situation
in Kenosha as it is and as it is
viewed by the Board of Education and
the City Council.
Glerum First Speaker.
After preliminary entertainment
the chairman introduced Jay Glerum
of the school board and asked him to
tell the assemblage just what the
school situation in Kenosha was.
Glerum nothing loath, stepped forward
with manuscript in both hands and
proceeded to tell of the scandalous
condition of the city schools of Keno
sha "I'm going to say briefly, that
the schools of the city are in an awful
shape" Glerum said. "In Kenosha we
have twenty-nine portable buildings,
one country school house, nine base
ment rooms, twelve makeshift rooms,
two store buildings and one parish
hall rented and ten regular school
buildings. That, however, isn't suf-
ticient number of schools, for in Keno
sha where we have 1875 pupils on half
time. Now the school board is faced
with condition where they are in
pressing need of funds, of new school
buildings, of everything that will put
Kenosha on the map as being city
where the utmost attention is paid
to school affairs. The welfare of the
children should be placed above every
thing else and how can we justify
Kenosha's position when it is denying
the children the right to outfit them
selves adequately to meet the hard con-
ditions of the world? Now is the time
to give consideration to the needs of
our children, to educate them and to
give them a chance to meet the world
equipped with the tools to wrest liv-
ing from the world. They are not get
ting it now and there is no excuse for
the present conditions to go on"
Board Faces Huge Deficit.
"The school board of Kenosha," con-
tinued Glerum, sis facing deficit Of
from four to five hundred thousand
dollars This has been climbing up for
the last ten years. There is either a
reason for it or there is not. Either
The school board does not know how to
sisely expend the money appropriated
for schooling purposes, or there has
not been enough money given the school
board to meet the conditions as they
came up. Either the city of Kenosha
must do one thing or the other.
Either the city of Kenosha must ap-
propriate money to build new schools
or the Board of Education will go ahead
and spend more money on portable
buildings. There will be a portable
building on every corner in the city to
adequately take care of the children
and the city Of Kenosha will pay be-
cause it is so provided in the statutes
of the laws of Wisconsin. Only re-

BLAINE MAY VETO
MATHESOA BILL
Governor Indicates Today
He May Not Approve
Prohibition Law.
ASKS MANY QUESTIONS

Madison, Wis. Manufacture of
homemade wines in Wisconsin under
the Matheson bill is unlawful the same
as under the present Mulberger law,
although search of homes to establish
evidence of violation cannot be made
by enforcement officers with proof of
sale. Attorney-G General William ]. Nor
gan rules in an opinion to Governor
John J. Blaine today.
The governor placed six questions
dealing with provision of the new en-
forcement bill before the attorney
general for answer This move on the
part of Governor Blaine is understood
to indicate decided possibility that
he will veto the prohibition measure
which has been before him for his
signature since Monday.
What effect the decision of the at
torney-general will have on his posi-
ton with regard to the bill, will be
known with the next three days. At
ter that time, unless vetoed, the mea-
sure automatically becomes law.
The opinion declares that the Mathe-
son bill in the provisions singled out
by the governor does not differ essent-
tally from the present Mulberger law,
and that the questions have already
been ruled on in previous opinions
from the attorney-generaTs depart
ment.
Governor Blaine asked whether "any
person had the right to manufacture
En- =; 81, of L -
family, anv wines, such as materials
made out of grapes, clover, dandelions,
elderberries and wines made from 9TH
er products"
No Change from Mulberger Law.
To this the encouragement replied
that "there has been no material
change from the Mulberger law. Be
fore the passage of the Matheson bill,
this department had that intoxicating
liquors could not be manufactured for
home use, and the same ruling must
be made under this law. This infant
industry, home brewing, distilling, etc.,
is no more protected under the AIathe-
son bill that it was under the Null
berger law.
Inquiry of Governor Blaine, whether
"if the bill prohibits the manufacture
of such wines, the prohibition commits
sioner, his deputies, or any officer, has
the right to search a private dwelling
under the process Of search war
rant" was answered in the negative
''Fhe bin under consideration au-
thorizes q search only where premises
are being used for unlawful sale Of
Intoxicating liquors" the attorney
general rules.
Replying to query Of the governor as
to what the Matheson bill prescribed
as intoxicating liquors, Attorney Gen
eraI Morgan said that 1.-The interpre-
tation used in this bill is, for all prac-
tical purposes, the same as the fnter-
probation given for the same language
in the Mulberger law by your opinion
while Acknowledgement to the district
attorney of Waupaca county"

TEACHERS FUND
Is UNDER FIRE
Assembly Offers Six Amendments to
Proposed Law to Govern
Teachers Pension.

by Associated Press Leased Wire.l
Madison, Wis. The $1,000,0OO
teachers retirement pensions eena
bill tied up the assembly for two hours
today, and then was laid over until to-
night for action. Passage without
amendment has already been given the
measure by the senate.
Four amendments were offered in
the assembly before adjournment,
three of them by Assemblyman Dahl,
administration leader.
One of the Dahl proposals would
change the bill SO that no teacher re-
ceiving salary of over So 900 annually
would come under provisions of the
pension. This would eliminate many
university professors and norma
school instructors.
The second proposed change calls for
referendum on the retirement fund
proposition in the spring election Of
1922, move which will be sharply con-
tested by friends of the measure.
Establishment Of a sur-tax on in
comes to raise the required $1000,00O
annually is called for in place of the
three-tenths mill tax on general prop
erty now called for in the bill, by the
third Dahl amendment. Here again
there will be sharp opposition.
Assemmlyman Pierson offered the
fourth amendment changing the bill SO
that no teacher may receive more than
$50 month as pension, and calling for
q referendum on the proposal
Friends and opponents of the teach
ers' retirement proposal Unanswered
through the session of the lower house
without either side being able to close
debate and get the bill voted on
The Morgan anti-profteering bill
was also laid over until tonight, when
stormy time is expected The lower
house will probably call the attorney
general before it to explain provisions
Of his bill before they vote on the
proposal.

Germany respectively the COM
munes that voted in their favor at
the recent plebiscite, but to hold

views between London and Paris
on the question are continuing
Notwithstanding the debate in the
chamber of deputies and the feel
ing in French official circles this
morning was that the allies were
coming together.
The council of ambassadors again
took hold of the SiIesian question
today and decided to send a note
to Poland setting forth Germany's
promise to close the SiIesian from
tier and asking Poland to see that
her frontier also was tightly shut.
The council also heard the report
of experts regarding execution by
Germany of her promise to modify
the DIESEL motors so as to be serv-
iceable for industrial uses only and
not available for submarines. The
report being favorable, the council
decided to extend the time in
which Germany must complete
these notifications to September 1.

DEMANDS MORE SCHOOLS HER.
hQuiring Reporter
T0DAY's QUESTION:
Should Kenosha have municipal bar

Should Kenosha have municipal band
concerts this summer?
ANSWERS:
A. W. Green, 1914 Pearl ST., con-
tractor-I am sure everyone enjoys the
band concerts immensely and it helps
to give the public true appreciation
of classical music. 1t is clean, whole
some entertainment and 1 will be glad
to hear when they start them.
Gus Hansen 366 Grand ave., organ
ist-As form of entertainment am
sure there is little more to be desired
especially when there is no cost to
the public whatever. The concerts
have been well attended and we'll en-
joyed in the past and they should be
continued.
W. Schweiger, 1915 Garden ST., re-
tailer-With these warm days coming
on like we have been having lately a
band concert in the evening would be
splendid idea. The evenings seem so
long with that extra hour that it ought
to be taken advantage of and stage
some sort Of musical concerts at Lii
brary park and in other parks.
Miss Emma Tanck, Exchange st.,
stenographer-At least it would be a
better place to go to than carnival or
some other place where the only way
you can have any fun is to spend mon
ey. I'm for band concerts.
Paul Schultz, $50 Prairie ST., switch
board operator-The Since band of
this city has reached high standard
of musical ability and I am sure ev-
eryone woul be glad to hear them play
on some hot sweltering evening when
there IS nothing else to do. 1t is at
least better than being shut up in a
house or theatre. 1t is very ideal
form of amusement.

\ HUMAN JUDGE.

'I have no regrets" said Judge Lindsey. after announcing that he would pay the $500 fine for contempt of court because of his refusal to tell what a fourteen-ye ward of his Juvenile Court had told him personal ly-"T have no regrets. I believe the fight wo made was right. No court again will ask a juvenile court judge to betray what a child has told him."
 Perhaps q precendent has been set. If so Judge Lindsey considers h!s $500 we'll spent. He believes in the good that will come from gaining the con- fidence of children. He believes that there will he fewer cases of youthful crime when the boys who have grown up without the protecting care given to some. feel that there are men in high places whom they may trust and to whom they may bring their troubles and their worries even though in SO bringing them they nave to confess to wrong doing.
 It Is to be hoped shat a precedent has been set. It is to be hoped thet not another Juvenile court Judge will be asked to testify against a child who trusted him. Thefe is nothing that
