Englishman Would
Conquer Sea Power

Bristol, Eng.-Men have tried for
ages to harness the tides, the greatest
unbridled energy in the world.
Many have gone insane trying to
turn TIL great force to the benefit of
man.
The tide flows unusually fast in the
Severn here. The weight of the water
flowing twice each "a hours is placed
at three hundred million tons.
Now engineers are installing tur-
bines which they think will convert the
tides power into electricity.

The courts of Kenosha county will
in all probability be the medium Of
determining whether or not Peter
Kraai returns to Elizabeth, N. j.,
where he is a department. head with
the Simmons company, with his three
children. Kraai formerly lived in Ke-
nosha with his wife and three children
but had some trouble with his wife,
Catherine. He then got the opportu-
nifty of going to New Jersey to repre-
sent the Simmons company.
His wife, left with the three chill
dren in Kenosha, lived with the moth
err of Mrs. Kraai.. Kraai in the mean
time was in Elizabeth, N. j., purchas-
ing a fiat on the installment plan.
Then Mrs. Kraai through her attorney,
Robert Verne Baker, instituted a di-
vorce suit in the municipal court. The
divorce papers were served on Kraai
in New Jersey and he appeared before
Judge Tully on Wednesday in the mu-
nicipal court. Mrs. Kraai asserted be-
fore Judge Tully that her husband had
not supported her and had not sent
her sufficient money to take care Of
her children. In answer to this charge,
Kraai stated that he had been buying
a house for her and their three chill
dren and that he wanted to take them
back with him to New Jersey, and that
was the reason why he had not sent
more money.
Stewart Wants Reconciliation.
Attorney Calvin Stewart appeared in
behalf of Kraai and produced affidavits
from responsible parties in Elizabeth,
N. j., which swore that Kraai had the
house as represented. Attorney Stew
art pleaded that reconciliation. be
effected and asked that Judge Tully
take the two in his private Office and
see if something could not be done to
save the home intact for the three
children. Kraai was willing to do this
and stated that he loved his wife and
that he would welcome the opportuni-
ty Of taking her back with him to New
Jersey. Mrs. Kraai proved obdurate,
however, and would be no party to
such a reconciliation.
Father Conway of the st. James
Church then appeared and stated that
Mrs. Kraai had come to him with the
plea that her children be placed in
Catholic school where they would be
taken care of. He stated that they
had been running around the streets
in dirty and neglected fashion and
that he would do all in his power to
see that the children were taken care
Of. AS the father is the natural Gus
todian of the children, he appeared in
favor of letting Kraai have the Gus
toby of the children. "This is a case
where probation officer would be of
some use," Father Conway stated.
PERSONALLY, / don't favor either party
to this action, Kraai or Mrs. Kraai,
but I'm vitality interested in those
children and I'm going to see that they
are taken care of"
Drops Divorce Case.
Upon motion of the attorneys, Mrs.
Kraai dropped her divorce case that
she had instituted against Kraai.
Then she took the children and re-
fused to let their father see them.

BULLETIN.

Kraai was granted the custody
Of his three children, Edward,
John and Paul by Judge Tully in
Municipal Court this morning.
The restraining order drawn up
by Attorney Baker and signed by
Court Commissioner Buckmaster
was disregarded when Attorney
Stewart moved that it was out of
order. Kraai was adjudged the
natural custodian of his children
and the boys were turned over to
him. The rumOrs that Kraai had
kidnapped the children emanated
from persons who were not familiar
with the fact that the court had
handed down an order making him
their custodian.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
FOR BIG PROJECT
Property Owners on Main Street Meet
on Friday and Discuss Plans for
Improvement of Street.

A community movement for the i'm
provement of the south end of Main
street, was inaugurated on Friday
afternoon when a dozen prominent men
interested in the property and bust
ness of this section of the city, met
at the haywood hotel to discuss plans.
The plans radiate about the erection
of a vaudeville and picture theatre to
be erected on what is known as the
Heating property. This property was
recently under option to the Sake
Brothers of Milwaukee, but the option
was allowed to expire and local men
have now taken up the matter with an
idea of carrying through practically
the same plans which the SAKE Broth
ers had for the site. 1t is said that
an investment of practically $150,000
is planned and that the stock in
company to be capitalized at $4,000
will be taken entirely by small num-
Der of men interested in this sec
tion of Main street 1t was said that
practically all of the $4,000 was
subscribed for at the meeting held
on Friday.
Well Known Men Present.
Among the we'll known men of the
city who were present at the meeting
We're Judge George w. Taylor, Lewis
Turner of L. Turner and Sons, Walter
zipp of the Hurd Drug company, John
Regner of the Regner jewellery store,
Robert Nicoll, Jacob Gottlieb and Ed
ward and Fred Dayton. Thomas Sui
livan is also named in connection with
the new company, but he was not
present at the meeting.
1t was stated that the movement
to erect the theatre would enlist the
services Of the Dayton Brothers who
are announced to have withdrawn from
the company which is planning the
erection of the Hippodrome theatre.
At the meeting it was announced
that Milwaukee company had agreed
to furnish 100000 of the money
necessary to carry out the project with
the provision that the $4,000 would be
raised by the local property owners
directly interested. This was to be
Eeeured as loan and the Milwaukee
people would have no connection with
the carrying out of the plans.
Rhode Plans to Go Forward.
Joseph G. Rhode of the Rhode Opera
house and head of the 'Hippodrone COM
pany, said that the new idea now being
worked out would in no way interfere
with his plans. II do not care to hold
out any false promises of theatre build
ing" said Mr.. Rhode. at Isl true that
the Dayton boys have given up their
work in connection with our company.
but we are going right ahead with the
plan. There will be conference held
on Monday or Tuesday after which it
is possible that we will have some an
nouncement to make, but financial and
building conditions are so disturbed
at this time that we want to avoid
giving any one a wrong impression.
The new theatre is going to be built
just as soon as it is possible"

PUTT OFF TAXES
TILL MAY FIRST
City Officials Appeal to the
County Board for Ex-
tension Of Time.
ASK FOR LEGISLATION
Mayor and City Attorney Pre-
sent Formal Resolution to
County Board Today.

Seeking an extension Of the time for
paying taxes until the first day of May,
Mayor John G. Joachim and City At
torney John G. Slater appeared before
the county board Of Kenosha county
today and asked that the board send
a petition to the Wisconsin legislature
asking for emergency legislation which
will make it possible for the city to
extend the time for the payment Of all
city taxes beyond the month extension
already granted. The action is in
keeping with the action which has
been taken in other cities of the state
where the burden Of the taxes has
fallen heavily on the people.
1t is declared that there can be no
objection to the extension on account
of the fact that the cities will have
collected money enough to take care
of their immediate needs and that it
will be possible to grant the extension
without causing any embarrassment to
anyone.
City Presents Resolution
The officials of the city presented
the following resolution which was
favorably acted on by the board:
"Resolved, that whereas, by reason
of the business and industrial depres-
sion prevalent throughout our country,
distressingly affecting more particu-
larly the small property owners in the
industrial localities and by reason of
the thigh rate of taxation which alb
normal conditions made necessary,
many hundreds of our laboring people
without employment or working al
greatly reduced hours Of labor find
themselves financially embarrassed
and unable to meet the high taxes
levied and imposed within the time
limited by law and collectable at a
most unpropitious time and in order
