NEW YORK, Dec. 26. The
Ladies' of Ensemble" who rode to
work in gorgeous limousines and
were met after the show by young
millionaires in high silk hats are
no more.
The chorus girl of today lives
under the discipline Of a boarding
school.
Charles b. Dillingham;, theatrical
producer. shattered one of Main
streets favorite illusions today.
"Thirty per cent of the chorus
girls in New York productions at
this time are from colleges and con-
vents" he declared. These girls
walk to work in athletic clothes
and return home chaperoned.
"If a girl has nothing but looks
I don't want her. In addition to
general attractiveness I demand the
mental training given by a college
or convent, where the discipline
prepares the girls for the stage"
Amateur theatricals are largely
responsible for so many university
girls joining the chorus. Dillingham;

head of the American department of

turned to Mexico City. Covered with

Asks People to Urge Cover
nor Not to Pardon
Harry Gordon.
WILL FIGHT PARDON
District Attorney Declares He
Has Asked the Governor to-
Postpone Any Action.

District Attorney Frank S. Sym
mohds today asked the people Of Ke-
nosha to appeal to Governor Blaine at
Madison, by petition, by letter and
telegram, asking the governor to re-
fuse to. act on the petition for the par
don Of Harry Gordon when it, comes
before him on next Wednesday. The
Gordon petition has been in the hands
Of the governor for several days and
the attorneys who have been urging 1t
are hopeful that the governor will act
on Wednesday and release Gordon from
penal service and at the same time
remit fines assessed against him. The
appeal Of Gordon to the supreme court
for a writ Of habeas corpus will come
up for hearing on next Saturday and
the officials who have opposed the par
doning of Gordon had asked the gov
ernor to withhold all action in the
matter, until after the supreme court
has handed down decision.
Symmonds to Protest.
"Swant you to cali upon the people
of Kenosha to demonstrate to the gov
ernor against granting the pardon to
Gordon. | want it especially urged
that the governor take no action until
after the supreme court shall have de-
cided on the appeal which has been
fled by Attorney Dave Rose" declared
Mr.. Symmonds this morning. Il have
written to the governor telling him
that / will appear in person to pro-
test against the pardoning of Gordon
and | have asked him to hold up any
action in the matter until after the
supreme court has acted, | have no
power to go farther in the matter, but
feel that the case is one which should
call for protest from all the people
Of Kenosha county who want to see
the laws enforced. have no idea what
action the governor will take on this
petition of Gordon's but you can say
that so far as this Office is, concerned it
will be opposed to the fullest exteAt."
Local attorneys who were connected
with the trial of the Gordon case when
it came up in the courts here, have
declared that they had considered the
points raised by Attorney Rose in his
appeal to the supreme COURT and they
declare that they do not believe that
the supreme court of the state will
open any prison doors for Gordon or
for any one else on the question of the
validity of the Mulberger law. They
assert that the only hope for Gordon
lays with his appeal to the governor
for pardon. It is known that strong
petition is to be presented to the gov
ernor asking the pardon of Gordon
and that if Gordon is freed that other
Kenoshans now in prison will at once
file an appeal to the governor.
TheNrecent report from Madison that
the governor would not hold any par
don hearings until after September
are not causing any let up in the &C
tivity for the Kenosha defendants.

RACINE AGAIN
HOPES TO WIN
Racine Bellies Think They
May be Able to Lick
Bedmakers.
HAVE NEW HURLER

Manager Cohen and his Racine
Bellies again hope to win on Saturday
when they meet the Bedmakers at the
Palace of Sunshine; on the other hand
the Simmons team expects to win again
and all in all there appears to be a
lively fracas in sight. Three times the
Racine Bellies have been tolled by the
Kenoshans, each time more dolefully
than the time before but hope springs
eternal in their breasts and they be-
lieve that the bolstering up which they
have now done will be rewarded with
victory on Saturday.
The chief part of this bolstering up
has been in the hurting staff Of the
Racine team. They have acquired
Carpenter since they met the Sim
mons team and he has turned in q
number of wins for the team. Eddie
Miller has also rounded into form and
NAV be on the mound against the Bed
makers on Saturday.
Have New First Sacker.
The Bellies also have a new first
baseman. Runge proved too weak with
the stick and was released several
weeks ago. His place had not been
filed satisfactorily but last week, the
Bellies bounced on Joe Weiss, the for
mer Logan Square first sacker, and
they believe that this will chock up
that hole in their defense Weiss is
a good fielder and better than that with
the bat. The game will also be inter
esting from a Kenosna standpoint be-
cause Gene Walsh, formerly with the
Simmons team, is in the lineup. lie
has been playing in the infield and has
made a real place for himself IN the
hearts of the Racine fans.
A large crowd of spectators from
Racine is expected to motor to Keno
sha for the game.
On Sunday afternoon the Bedmak'
ers journey to the Marquette Manor
park in Chicago with prospects that
they will get to try their batting eyes
out against Lefty Sulliyan's twisters
Many Kenoshans are expected to &c
to Chicago for the game.
! This finding of an infelder has be-
come serious business for Manager
Potteiger, who has been playing thirc
until new dizzy corner sacker can b'
found. Potteiger on the whole ha'
been putting up a great game in th'
infeld but he realizes that his place
is really in left field and that someone
else should be provided for third base
He secured information regarding sew
eral good felders who are dissatisfied
in the east and he expects to bring on
of them back with him on Saturda'
morning when he returns for the Ra
cine game. He is determined not t
sign any player until he is able to lam
one who is both good fielder an
also heavy with the stick and this ha
caused much Of the delay in filling tn
position.
