TICKETS FOR ALL

The days of Slipping it over" the
North Western Railway company are
over and Kenosha people who have
been accustomed to use subterfuge to
get from Kenosha to Chicago and slip
the conductor a personal card or a
half dollar may find the going lot
harder than it has been in the past, as
a new set of rules has been issued
by the company and they are of the
hair splitting sort. The company is
going to demand exact compliance with
the regulations for traffic as laid down
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion with no favors for any one.
Collectors and conductors on the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad
yesterday were instructed to carry out
the following new rules:
Every passenger must have ticket
A woman cannot say to the conductor,
"My husband is in the smoking car"
She must produce her own ticket.
All cash fare receipts must be placed
in the hand of the passenger and not
thrown on the seat or allowed to flutter
to the floor beside the passenger.
The monthly individual Communication
tickets will be void one second after
midnight of the last day of the month
Passengers cannot longer catch the
1900 a. m. out of Chicago March l, for
instance, and use February tickets.
The return half of return ticket
must be used within thirty days after
the date of sale. Heretofore the con-
ductors have been lax in this and have
accepted return tickets after they were
void.

Mrs. Anna Johnson Tells KenOsha Police Off.
GERS Full Story of the Shooting in
Chicago Flat
CHICAGO POLICE ARE NOT INTERESTED
Kenosha WomanNot Yet Fully Recovered from Injuries
But Recovery is Matter Of Days Accident
Occurred Nearly Seven Weeks Ago

Pale and emaciated and suffering
yet from the effects of bullet wound
which she received in Chicago on De-
cember 10th of last year, Mrs. Anna
Johnson sat at her home on South Park
avenue, just south of Selma road on
Saturday night and told the story OF
her being shot by a Chicago police
officer. The young woman is still suf
fering from her wounds and her left
arm is partly paralyzed as a result
Of her INJURIES, but it is not expected
that the injury will be permanent
one and it was declared that physi-
clans attending her are hopeful of her
early and complete recovery.
Mrs. Johnson has suffered much and
after the first facts in regard to the
case had been given out on Saturday
she talked freely with the police and
told the story of her sensational in
jury The story told by the comedy
young widow does not tally exaxctly
with the story given out by people
who brought the first word of her con-
nection with the Chicago shooting.
The error which had been made in
giving the date of the shooting made
it very difficult for the case to be
traced in Chicago and the search of the
records there failed to reveal that the
Kenosha woman had been shot by a
police officer. Mrs. johnson is plan
ming to return to Chicago on a short
time to resume her work in the
Appolo restaurant there.
Card Party is Broken Up.
After the facts in regard to the case
had been revealed by the newspapers
on Saturday afternoon, Chief O'Hare
ordered complete investigation and
Secretary Meissner and Detective Chas.
Rock of the department went to the
home of Mrs. Johnson. She admitted
them to the house and without en-
bellishment told the story of how she
was injured. 1t was evident to the
officers that she still suffered from her
experience. Some of the details of
the case were not exactly clear to
the young woman and she admitted
that the suffering from the wound
had caused her to forget little.
According to the story related to the
local officials by Mrs. Johnson, the
shooting took place at a house near
the Warren avenue police station on
the night of December 10th. Mrs.
johnson was known in Chicago as Mrs.
Anna Patterson and under this name
she had gone to spend the evening at
the house with friend of Mr.. Kelly.
The members Of the party had been
playing hards at the house when
man came to one of the doors and de-
manded admission. He was known to

Mayor Joachim viii Present the Matter to the City
Council Monday After Taking it up With
Attorney-WOuld Affect Many

The City of Chicago through its
Mayor William Hale Thompson has
officially appealed to the city of Ke-
nosha to follow the suit of Chicago
in the regulation of automobile traffic
by the passage of an ordinance SINH
lar to the one recently passed in Chi
cago which provides for the license
and regulation Of automobile drivers.
In letter to Mayor Joachim this
morning Mayor Thompson proffers to
the city of Kenosha the expert ad
vice that he has received in regard to
the new Chicago ordinance as we'll as
copies of the ordinance with the sug-
gestion that they be used as guides
for the enactment of a similar ordin-
ance in Kenosha. Mayor John G.
Joachim this morning declared that he
could see no great objection to the
enactment of such an ordinance in Ke-
nosha but that he would want to take
the matter up with the City Attorney
before making formal presentation
of the matter to the council at the
meeting on next Monday evening.
Ordinance Demands Photographs.
The most interesting features of the
Chicago ordinance is that it provides
that every driven of motor car shall
have license: The fee for the IL
cense is fixed at one dollar per year
and it must be renewed annually. In
return for the payment of the fee a
card is issued which serves as an iden-
tifcation card and protects the own
er and driver of an automobile
against being molested or his owner
ship of the car coming into contest
on the part OF city officials. When an
application for license made by the
driver of car he must furnish to

able advice to the voters of Kenosha

The election of officers of the league,
which was scheduled to take place on

Officials Home from Road
School See Chance for
Road Building.
CUT PRICE OF CEMENT
Bids for Kenosha's Seven Miles
of Road to Be Received
on Thursday.

Officials of Kenosha county who re-
turned on Friday night after attending
the annual road school at Madison, de-
clared this morning that they believed
that the building of seven miles of con-
crete road which has been scheduled
for Kenosha county for this season,
would go forward as soon as the build
ing season opens and that the work
will be done either under the old plan
of contract with road builders or under
the direct supervision of the county
highway commissioner and the county
road committee. 1t was announced
at the state road school that conces-
sions had been made by the big cement
companies and that the cement neces-
sary for roads in Wisconsin would be
furnished to the state and to counties
at cost Of S1.65 barrel. This is
much cheaper than the price named in
the past two years. 1t was also an
nounced that other material men who
make concessions TO make it possible
for the road work in the various coun-
ties of the state to be done at what
the officials are expected to consider
a fair price.
Take Bids Next Thursday.
"We feel certain that the Kenosha
road program will be carried out" de-
clared County Clerk Holderness this
morning. eve are going to take bids
on the various projects on next Thurs
day afternoon and we believe that
these contracts offered will be suf-
fciently favorable to warrant the
county going on with the work. The
state commission brought good news
in regard to the reduction will also
be reflected in the cost of labor neces-
sary for the work. We are hopeful
that the work in the county can be
started at the earliest possible time
and carried out before cold weather
sets in"
Are Filled With Stastics.
The Kenosha delegation at the road
schol included county clerk, County
Highway Commissioner Herzog and
Supervisors James Martin and j. j..
Barrows. They brought back with
them a wealth of statistics in regard
to the cost of roads and materials
and these will be presented to the
county board when it meets next week.
One of the most interesting facts
shown by the reports of the commits
sion is that Wisconsin spent more for
good roads last year than it spent for
education. This was not hailed as
feat, but rather as an indication that
the road work was going forward a
little too rapidly.

TAKES ISSUE
WITH JOACHIM
President Glerurn of School
Board Comments on
Building Situation.
TELLS THE INSIDE DOPE

Jay B. Glerum, president of the
school board, took issue with Mayor
Joachim on the school finances ques-
tion Friday evening in vigorous and
enlightening address delivered at a
meeting of the Kenosha lodge of Odd
Fellows at their temple on Chicago
street. The speaker had been invited
to discuss the school problems of Ke-
nosha as one of series of addresses
being given before the members of the
order regarding the leading activities
of Kenosha.
Mayor Joachim has said that the
council appropriated $638,000 for
school uses last year." declared Presi-
dent Glerum, "but the board only got
$514,OOO."
Takes Council to Task.
The speaker went on to explain that
the appropriation for the continuation
school could not be included in that
given to the Kenosha school system
since the state was in charge of that
work. He took the council severely to
task because they had not made any
appropriation for the recreation fund
although it had been voted by the
people of Kenosha. He added that
$4,000 of the money alluded to by the
mayor had been accommodating for ff-
teen years and was for the purpose of
paying off deficits and bonds which
should have been met in other years.
The speaker gave some interesting
facts regarding the Kenosha schools.
He said that $455,000 was paid out in
salaries last year to 315 employees;
that $4,000 was received from the
state and special tuition funds; and
that SIS 900 to $4,000 was spent each
year to keep the buildings of the sys-
tenn in repair. Last year the school
board handled $998,000.
Tribute to Washington School.
President Glerum reported that dur
ing the past year fourteen school
boards from six different states had
visited the Washington school and
that of this number six boards had
gone back to their home cities to
build exact replicas of the Kenosha
building.
The increase in cost of the McKin-
ley building over the Washington was
blamed on the council because it had
refused to let contract to the same
people who constructed the Washing
ton school. President Glerum declared
this failure cost the city $4,000. He
reported that the building when COM
pleted would cost $4,000 instead of
$332,000 as originally planned.
Pleads for Junior Highs.
In closing his interesting address,
President .Glerum pleaded for the
erection Of the two new junior high
school buildings at cost of $4,000
each, declaring that it offered the only
plan for the elimination of half tim 2
schedules now prevalent in Kenosha.
More than one hundred and fifty
Odd Fellows attended the meeting and
heard the address.

Paris Imposes
a Piano Tax
(By Associated Press

Paris-This city has just been au-
thorized to collect higher taxes on
pianos and domestic servants. For the
privilege of being managed by an au-
tocratic cook or a diplomatic maid,
Partisan families will now have to pay
40 francs year. If the servants are
men, the amount is doubled. A sliding
scale of 40 francs for one woman
servant to 200 francs for five of them
and from so to 400 francs for men
servants is provided for in the bill.
No provision is made for families hav-
ing more than five servants, the law
maker probably holding this to be
sufficient tax on the family's patience.
Tutors and governesses are assessed
100 francs each. The tax on. pianos is
to range from 80 to 60 francs. A me-
chanical piano will cost its owner the
highest sum.
