In spite Of the additional cost to

The 1928 budget submitted to the

several startling figures which will
come as source of decided relief and
pleasure to the so-called "over-bur-

the approximate expenses of the year
1922 were also presented to the board
by Chairman James Blair, of the fl

Business in Administration.
The decrease in total estimated OPP
Grating expenditures for next year is
accounted for by several factors. The
administration has been steadfast in
its desire to improve Kenosha school
conditions and the promiscuous build
ing of portables to handle overflow
conditions in the grade schools has
been ended, with the hope Of alleviat-
ed conditions with the carrying out of
the school program being contemplated
for next year. Other comparisons be-
tween expenditures for certain items
last year and proposed expenditures
for the same causes next year are not
available at this time, but they are
reported steady and consistent in the
different appointments of the school
funds.
That evry large share Of the credit
for the decrease in the estimated ex-
penditures was due to the efforts of
the business organization of the board,
under the inspiration of President
Lewis Powell and commissioners con-
cerned in making expenditures, cannot
be doubted, according to the cOncen-
sus Of opinion among the members of

BEING GRAVE-ROBBER
Mrs. Ruth Knudson Admits Digging up
Body of Mrs. E. C. FairchiId at
SauIt Ste. Marie.

NDy Associated FreSS Leased wire
Milwaukee, Wis. - A special from
Sault Ste Marie, Mich, to the Milwau-
kee Journal from staff correspondent
says that Mrs. Ruth Knudson, under
arrest there in connection with the
digging up from grave on Drummond
Island three years ago, the body of
Mrs. E. c. Fairchild, made confession
late yesterday to Thomas Green, acting
prosecuting attorney.
Mrs. Knudson confessed that she
and her IA year old brother Clifford,
also in Jail at Sault Ste Marie, had
dug up the body and carried it to the
beach of Lake Huron, 80 years from
its grave, where parts of it were found
three months later, the center of a
strife between two hungry dogs that
had unearthed it,
The woman collapsed before she had
well started on the story and the ma
jor portion remains yet to be told. Two
other confessions, one of Clifford Har-
rison, a brother of Mrs. Knudson, and
of man named William Cow, telling
about the grave incident are said to be

Despite the three alleged confessions
on file and the strange recital of the
Drummond Island constable, who for
three years has had bat the single
thought of the solution Of the grave
robbery mystery in his mind, the abb
sence of a motive for the crime still
leaves the case in mystery.
William Cow, brother-in-law of
Mrs. Knudson who was believed to
know something of the crime, was To-
Gated in Canada by Constable William
Stevenson. On the way to Sault Ste
