Chief Schwartz concluded that the fire
had originated in some kindling and
rubbish in the basement where it ap-
peared that someone earlier in the
evening had carelessly dropped a
match.
The house where the fire occurred
was the scene of horrible tragedy
eleven years ago when Pasquale Mar

ing his wife in bed with another man,
a cousin, seized a Ratchet and killed
both outright. Marchesi rescued his
two children and left them at the home

under church in the vicinity. Later
he confessed his crime and was sent
to Waupun, convicted on one of the
lesser degrees of manslaughter. He
served his time and was set at liberty.

The fire department received the call
to the home of Joseph Travanti on
Anton street at 1880 o'clock. Arriving
on the scene they found the story-and-

fire was finally located in the basement,
where it appeared that a smudge had
been underway for hours, sending up
thick columns of smoke which filled
the little building. The smudge broke
into active FLAMES about midnight,
while thea family was asleep upstairs.

Editor Kenosha Evening News:
The school question has been quiet
in the town of Bristol for some time.
have. We saw the need of our coun-
try school graduates for better edu-
cational advantages, than our present
school system gave them, and called
the public's attention to the fact. 1t
resulted, in a strong second for you
and in a meeting advocating consoli-
dated school for the town with a high
school and other departments in con-
l. ,ction; then there was a debate on
the question that attracted consider
able attention, and newsy items in
papers here and there, informing their
readers that Bristol was to have a
consolidated and high school-the
building of it was almost under way.
Then followed the powerful silence,
perhaps of thought. A building big
enough to accommodate the children of
the proposed consolidated district both
in the grades and high school and other
auxiliary branches needed, with the
proper equipment, seemed like rather
a big thing to ask the people to shout
der when incomes are SO small and
taxes heavy, but the need is there just
the same.
Suppose we get at this another way.
Maybe our ideas are to high on the
buildings and equipment needed. Many
man has checkmated himself by
building too large or equipping too fine,
tying up needed capital in unproduc-
tive and repair demanding fixtures.
The alma mater of some of our great
men was built of logs and the equip
ment very meagre. If they had waited
until they could have built nice up
to-date school house with the best
known fixtures, books and charts, be-
fore they would build at all, we would
have been heavy losers. Our especial
need IN this section is school to take
care of the boys and girls that have
graduated from our district schools
and are not able to go to the high
schools that are in our county or who
may not want high school course, but
would like systematic instruction
further, and especially a school for
them through the slack season from
Thanksgiving to the first of April
A schoolroom that would seat forty
pupils, run as Nprivate school for
five months of the year, located in a
handy place of access, with good
teacher with a personality, might solve
our question for while and help US
to better understanding of our fu-
ture problem.
| do not offer this as suggestion,
but simply something to think over
and keep the school question alive,
especially i'm the town of Bristol.

FOUND IN CHICAGO
Two Youths Sign Confession Telling Of
Murder and Robbery Under
"Yoodoo" Influence.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Chicago Through the arrest of two
boys and the mother of one of them,
the police today believed they had
broken up the most unusual and I'M
scrupulous group of criminals in the
city. The boys, Charles Shader, 10,
and Frank Lee, 16, were held with
Shader's mother, in connection with
crimes ranging from larceny, criminal
assault on mute woman, to murder.
Mrs. Shader was declared by the police
to be a female Fagin, who directed the
vice activities of the youths and forced
them into life of crime.
Some time ago Mr.. Shader, the wom-
ans husband, was found shot to death
In his home, large pistol by his side.
A few days ago Margaret Shader, 16-
year-old sister of Charles, was found
shot to death with the same pistol by
her side. Her mother said she killed
herself when she was refused permits
sion to marry Lee, the boy arrester
with Shader and his mother. Lee is a
mulatto but the Shaders are white.
Lee, sitting in his Jail cell today told
the police, they said, that Margaret
had met her death through her refusal
to obey Mrs. Shader's orders that she
join the others in their crime activi-
ties. "She was a good girl-that was
why she is dead" said Lee. "She did
not kill herself. She was murdered.
She didn't want to marry me, as they
said. She just wanted to be good"
Lee was quoted by the police as say
ing that Mrs. Shader made him and
Charles become criminals. He told the
police he thought she was "voodoo
woman" and that he was afraid to dis
obey her. "She was going to put
spell over me if I did not obey her."
Lee said.
In the Shader home the police found
more than $4,000 worth of goods
which they said had been stolen There
was enough to stock fair sized de-
partment store.
! The two boys signed confessions, the
police said, that they had committed
more than 200 burglaries and that af-
ter robbing deaf mute, they had Grim
inally assaulted her.

SHORT SKIRT FIGHT
CARRIED TO COURTS
Kansas Supreme Court May Have to
Decide Whether Alice and Maude's
Were Too Short.

Lawrence, KanS. - 1t may require
the supreme court of Kansas to de-
termine whether the skirts of Alice
Hanson and Maude Buchanan, students
at the Vinland rural high school ex-
tended three inches below their knees
and whether it was any of the Vinland
school boards business anyhow. Judge
Means, the jurist who a few weeks ago
ruled that Alice and Maude could go
back to school without lengthening
their skirts, today sustained demur-
rer to his jurisdiction filed by the
legal representatives of the Vinland
school board. Judge Means ruling had
been a temporary one and hearing
had been set for April.
E. T. Killing, attorney for J. H. Han
sen, Alice's father, announced that an
appeal would be taken to the supreme
court following the demurrer action.
The Vinland school board made
rule that pupils skirts must extend
three inches below their knees and
expelled the two girls on the conten-
ton that their skirts lacked something
of the required length.
Judge Means issued temporary re-
straining order against the school
board on application of Hansen and
the girls returned to school with the
skirts in statu quo. The issue was
made all the more vital by the fact
that the dresses questioned by the
school board were made by the girls

GENERAL STRIKE
In ALL FIELDS
Government Does Not Give Up Hope of
Preventing General Down
in Coal Production.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
washington. - The government
was stated at the White House to-
day as not having entirely aband-
oned its attempts to bring bitumi1l-
Gus operators and miners together
In conference designed to avert a
strike in such fields April LIST. The
added statement was made that no
steps had been taken or results OBJ
tanned which would justify pub
Lie announcement. Apprehension
of the industrial situation which
might result from the strike, it
was said, has resulted in the ac-
emulation of probably the largest
surplus of coal ever stored in the
United States while prices of coal
in the mining district had showed
no signs of increasing and in fact
remained at point lower than in
the previous five years.

MADALYNNE RESIGNED
WAITS A NEW TRIAL
Jury Stood Nine to Three for Convic-
ton When Discharged by Court
Sunday Night.

Los Angeles, Calm her cell in the
county jail again facing jury trial
for the murder of j. Bolton Kennedy,
her sweetheart, Mrs. Madalynne Oben-
chain, in whose case jury last night
disagreed and was discharged, today
was resignedly waiting for tomorrow
when 1t was expected her second trial
would be set.
The foreman reported the jury was
"hopelessly divided" and after each of
the nine men and three women who
composed it had been asked separately
and had confirmed the foreman's re-
port, Judge Reeve discharged them.
The foreman, r, w. Crockett, told
the court the division was to 8 and
had SO stood from the first to the fifth
and final ballot.
After the court had dismissed them,
some of theaiurors told newspaper men
the nine, including, two of the women
jurors, favored conviction; while the
three, including one woman, had voted
for acquittal
They said that as the "hopeless d.
vision" came on the question of guilt
or INNOCENCE, they never had reached
the question of the degree of guilt.
They were out approximately fifty
six hours Of which nearly twenty-four
were passed in actual elaboration, they
said.
Mrs. obenchain with a pale, drawn
face, but otherwise displaying no sign
OF emotion, was in court when the jury
reported. She quickly returned to her
cell. ...,t
Judge Reeve set the case for tomor-
row when according to the district at
torney's Office motion will be made
for the setting of new trial date.
