New Accusations Are Made in Connection With
the Disrupting of the Holy Rosary
Congregation Recently.
CHURCH MAY BRING SUITS LATER ON
Committees Are Alleged to Have Retained Monies
Which Were Taken in at Various Entertain
ments Given in Name of Church.

Charges that funds belonging to the
Holy Rosary congregation had been
withheld by certain members of the
church and that they have not as yet
been turned over and that the with
holding of these funds is one of the
causes of the present troubles in the
congregation, was made in a signed
statement given out by one of the lead
ers of the church this morning. The
integrity of the maker of the state
ment is unquestioned, but it is adj
mitted that his real identity has not
been revealed for reasons best known
to leaders of the congregation who are
anxious to secure the re-opening of
the church. The statement says:
"The Kenosha public the past few
months has heard and read consider

communicated, relative to their pas

POLICE AFTER
WIRE TAPER
Loss of $4,000 by Kenosha
Gamblers Interests the
Police Officers.
ALL LAW VIOLATORS

The end is not yet for the Kenosha
gamblers who had their rolls of green
backs nicked for $4,000 as the result
of a recent wager won by a mysterious
stranger after he had been aided by
clever wire Taper said to reside
in Waukegan, Chief of Police Owen
O'Hare announced today that he was
investigating the affair and that in
addition to losing heavily~in a inanc-
ial way the Kenoshans and all who
were implicated in the affair might
have chance to explain to the offic-
ials regarding the gambling operations
which appear to have been carried on
in Kenosha.

the fellows who lost the rolls of green
backs" said Chief O'Hare. "They
probably should have had their eyes
open enough to guard against this
deception but l do want to make a
repetition of this impossible"
All Are Law Violators.
1t was pointed out that not only the
mysterious stranger" who worked the
old wire tapping me and got away
with $4,000 of torOsha money, was a
law violator but that also all who had
any part in the deal were also liable
to arrest.
II intend to sift this to the bottom"
declared the chief 81 hope that we
will be able to locate the fashy strang-
er but we don't want him any more
than all of the rest of them"
Sheriff Green Also Here.
Sheriff Green of Lake County was in
Kenosha on Friday on other business
and while here learned that Wauke-
gan was supposed to be the nest of
the wire tappers." 1t is believed that
authorities there will cooperate with
the police here in an attempt to clean
up the ring and put an end to the wild
betting in the ponies" which is alleg-
ed to be rampant in both cities.

LAFOLETTE PLEADS
FOR FREE IRELAND
Wisconsin Senator Demands Recogni-
ton for Ireland in Speech in
the Senate Today.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

Washington-The cause Of Ireland
was pleaded in the Senate today by
Senator LaFollette, Republican, Wis
consin, who in a prepared address, ad-
vocated his resolution proposing recog-
milton Of the Irish republic"
ireland is today test of real
Americanism," he said. "Those who
today most actively oppose recognition
of the independence of Ireland in her
struggle for freedom from Great Br-
tain are Of the same flesh, the same
blood, as the Tories of 1776. Those
who today favor recognition by the
United States of Irish independence
stand upon the great Fundamental
principles of human liberty which
were written into the declaration of
independence"
81 believe that Ireland should be
free-as free and independent as
any nation on the globe" he told the
Senate.
81 believe she should be as indepen-
dent and have as complete dominion
over her own destiny as England,
France or the United States and by
the same right-the inherent right of
every nation to a government deriv-
ing it's just powers from the consent
Of the governed.
"Td go further than that believe
that this country without violating any
of the usages of international law
without giving any other nation just
cause for i'll will, should do everything
within it's power consistent with its
own principles and traditional policy
to encourage the recognition of Ire
land as free and independent republic
81 stand for this country doing no
more for Ireland than we have done
for other small nations of the world
bpt I stand for this government doing
no less. l am unalterably opposed to
those who would have US abandon that
traditional policy and make us by
cowardly silence, accomplices of the
appressors of Ireland"

Man Found Providing About the Porch
of the Ripley Building Flats
Escapes Saturday Night.

A night prowler, believed to be the
pants" burglar, slipped through the
clutches of the police again, on Satur-
day night just after midnight. The
man was prowling about the apart
ments on the second floor of the Rip
ley building on Wisconsin street. He
had been making the rounds looking
into the windows when he was seen
by F. Gaffron, who lives in one of the
apartments. Gaffron gave chase to
the fellow but he managed to negotiate
the rear stairs and get away. The po-
lice, were notified and made search
about the building but found nothing
of man.

No Price Change
at the Majestic

Patrons of the Majestic Theatre
were being advised today that there
was no change of price following the
recent change Of management. A
statement in the advertisements for
Saturday declared that prices were
"22 cents and nine cents plus war
tax. Some of the patrons misun-
derstood this taking it to mean that
one admission would cost in the
neighborhood of thirty-fve cents. The
real meaning of the statement was
that adult prices were % cents plus
war tax and children's prices were 9
cents plus war tax.
There has been absolutely no in
crease in price" declared one of the
officials of the company this morning,
"and more than that none is contem-
plated"

COLLINS AFTER
TAX DODGERS
Federal Officials Are After
Dance Hall Owners Who
Avoid Tax
TO BE MORE STRICT

The COLLINS are going to be after
Kenosha dance hall owners who are
failing to meet the federal regulations
regarding the collection. of tax on
admissions to dances, according to the
statement issued today by Burt Will
liams, collector of internal revenue for
this district. 1t has come to the col
lector's attention that many owners
of halls throughout the state are lax
in the collection of this tax and today
he issued warning, advising them that
the law must be obeyed to the letter
1t is intimated that violations OF
the law will be vigorously prosecuted
in the future.
Defines the Law.
The statement repeats the provi-
sions of the law defining the amount
of tax to be charged. 1t reads in
part as follows;
information has reached this office
to the effect that owners of dance halls
and persons renting or leasing halls
for conducting dances, are not collect
ing tax imposed upon admissions as per
the requirements of the regulations
The tax to be collected is upon the
amount charged for the admission as
per example: A hall owner charging
so, So and 25 cents is collecting 5, q
and 8 cents, respectively, whereas the
tax to be collected is cents on each
ticket regardless of the amount charg-
ed. The amounts of S5 and rs cents
constitute reduced admissions and are
therefore taxable on the established
price which in this instance is 30 cents
as the same accommodations prevail
to the lower priced admissions as upon
so cents admissions.
Where a charge Of rs cents is made
covering gents admission, the tax tC
be collected is cents. Where gent
is accompanied by lady who is ad-
mitted free, or even if separate
charge is made, an additional tax Of
s cents must be collected as this ad
mission constitutes free or reduced
admission. You will therefore proceed
to collect the tax imposed under sec
ton 500 of the Revenue ACT of 1918
pertaining to the collection of tax up
on admissions, as pei. examples out
lined. Where the admission price il
other than outlined, the same princi
pie should be followed.

longing to become a sailor seized
the lad, and after some time his
mother gave her consent to his
trying one trip on Lake Erie.
After walking the entire distance
to Cleveland, he found that a
sailors life was far different from
what he had read in the books.
While in Cleveland, he met his
uncle who was the owner of boat
on the Ohio Canal. Through the
kindness Of his uncle and cousins
young James obtained the opportu-
nifty to drive horses attached to one
Of the boats used by the owners to
transport coal from the mines to
Cleveland. The wages were ten
dollars a month and board. He,
was soon promoted to the position
Of steersman, but exposure brought
on an illness and his earnings went
for medicines and medical attend
ance. James was persuaded by his
mother to resume his studies;
thereupon, he entered an academy
near his home where he earned his
living by working in a carpenter
shop in the village. While a stu
dent at Hiram College, Garfield de-
frayed the expenses of the tuition
by acting as janitor, lighting the
fires, sweeping the floors, and

Woman Hurt When
Ford Runs i'm Ditch
Mrs. Sarah Knutson Badly Shaken Up
when Ford Automobile Be-
comes Unmanageable.

Mrs. Sarah Knutson was badly shak-
en- up last evening when the Ford in
which she was driving ran into a
ditch about quarter of a mile north
of the St. Catherine Hospital. The
car was not going at a great rate
of speed and Mrs. Knutson was able
to drive the car to her home. Mrs.
Knutson stated that the improve
ments that are being made to the road
in that vicinity made her miscalcu-
late the distance and she crashed into
the ditch.
The car was not injured and was
to go on it's own power. Three men
who were goinA down the road at
the time of the accident helped get
the car out of the ditch. Outside
of few minor scratches Mrs. Knutson
escaped uninjured.

TIME surroundings of James
Abram Garfield at the time of
his birth and early childhood
were as humble and rude as back
woods life could make them. His
father and mother lived in little
log cabin, in small clearing made
by cutting away the primitive for
est. The front yard was crowded
with fresh stumps of giant trees,
and the little patch of ground they
called "the farm" did not include
over two acres open to the sunlight.
With scarcely utensils sufficient to
cook the most simple food, with
rough tables, rude chairs, and an
open fireplace with>a floor Of rough
slabs with peep holes for windows,
logs for doors, and little brook
in the woods for a well, with wild
game and wheat or corn cracked in
a hand mortar for their meals, his
parents struggled on day by day in
the close battle for bare life. Four
years after the death of James's
father, a school house was built a
mile and half away which he at
tended with his two sisters. The
three RS, with spelling and geog-
raphy, were the only branches
taught; but as soon as the boy
could read no devoured every book
that came within his reach. He
had a most remarkable memory,
and would often commit long
passages Of poetry. The trees

The possible return of the "pans
burglar to Kenosha was indicated II
morning when it was discovered II
the home of Roger n. Kimball. gene,
manager of the Allen A company. :
Durkee avenue, had been entered
clever burglars during the night
while the entire. house was careful
searched by the burglar or burgla
only small amount of booty was tax
and it consisted for the most part
some thirteen dollars in money tax
from the kitchen of the house. It W
the property of one of the maids g,
ployed in the household. Practica,
every room in the house was visit,
by the burglars and while members
the household were asleep in the hou
they were not awakened at any tin
during the night and the burglal
worked without being disturbed.
Break in Through Window.
Entrance to the house was mad
through one of the windows on tn
ground floor and it was not certai
whether the window had been jimmie
or not. 1t was admitted that it wa
possible that the window had been lef
unlocked. The members - the famil
had retired at nine-thirty last nigh
and the burglary was discovered jus
before the breakfast hour this morn
ing. The burglars had evidently taker
their time for a systematic search o
the house, but had scorned to tax
anything but money. Costly silver re
NAMED untouched and jewelry which
was in several Of the bedrooms ha,
been cast aside by the burglars. Prac
tically every drawer in the house ha,
been opened and searched but tn
burglar was a tidy fellow and he ha,
carefully replaced the articles in thu
drawer. The disorder evidenced thu
fact that he had gone through thu
various places in search of money.
Throws Pennies on the Floor.
There was a small sum taken from
the pockets of one of the boys in tn,
house, but it was evident that tn,
burglar had not desired pennies as
number Of pennies which had been re
moved from the pockets of members o
the family were thrown about on tn,
floor and tables in the house.
The work at the Kimball home dic
not carry the ear marks of a real higl
grade burglar and it is thought posi-
bic that it might have been the worl
of boys who happened to be passing
the house and just took chance t.
get little money. No other burg
laries were reported to the police de
partment this morning. AS the burg
laries have usually come in triplets i
was expected that the other one Nigh
be reported during the day.
