XMAS SAVINGS
TO AID SANTA
Kenosha Banks Send Out
Over S26O,OOO in Xmas
Saving Checks.
SIX THOUSAND SAVED
More Than 5000 Accounts Re
presented in Christmas Say
ings Clubs of Four Banks.

More than six thousand people of
Kenosha are not worrying where they
are going to get the money to fill the
stockings on Christmas morning and
make sure that there will be a happy
Christmas at their home. This was
demonstrated this morning when an
nouncements made at the four banks
Of Kenosha showed that Christmas
checks totalling more than 100000
had been mailed out to the 6,575 mem
abers of the various Christmas Saw
ings clubs in Kenosha.
The sum represents one of the larg-
est sums ever released in Kenosha by
this method of saving. One other
year-in the flush period just after
war equalled this total but with
that exception this is the largest
amount that has been released by the
banks Through the Christmas savings
plan.
Checks All Mailed Out.
The banks today were all completing
the work of mailing out the welcome
checks to those who have been mem
bers of the clubs throughout the year.
Some of the amounts were for small
sums representing the nickels and
dimes saved by children to buy pres
ents for, the other members of their
families; others were larger, a few
even amounting to $500 each.
The checks are mailed always dur
ing the first month of December to
the depositors in order that they may
have the money in time to do their
Christmas shopping early. It is an
ticipated that the releasing of the
checks will prove a great stimulus to
the Christmas trade in Kenosha.
All Banks Show Increase.
All of the four banks where Christ
mas Savings accounts have been car
ried, show an increase in interest in
the plan during the past year. The
First National Bank sent out checks
totalling the e o RIM Gus sum of
$170,538.17 to more than 1000 men,
bers. While this is not the high tide
mark for Christmas savings, as it was
surpassed one war year, yet it shows
an agreeable increase over last year.
The Kenosha State Bank has had a
wonderful growth of the system dur
ing the past year. There we're 1925
Christmas savings accounts at that
bank for total Of more than $4,000.
At the Merchants and Savings Bank
it was stated that the total was over
the $4,000 mark and that there had
been not less than 75O depositors.
At the Citizens bank the total was
over the $4,000 mark with 825 mem
bers. Here remarkable increase
in interest was also shown over, pre-
ceding years.
Encourages Thrift Policies.
The bankers were strong in their
praise Of the system, declaring that
it not only provided the members with
money for holiday time, but also in.
culcated in them the spirit of thrift
It was stated that the history Of the
system in Kenosha had demonstrated
that those who started the club one
year and finished it, invariably came
back another year and kept up the
practice Of thrift which had been
established.
All of the banks mentioned are now
opening their new Christmas Savings
clubs and hundreds who found the
plan successful last year have entered
again for 1923.

A Christmas window trimmer whose
confidence operations, it is alleged,
have covered Chicago as we'll as cities
in Canada, picked out the wrong plum
last Thursday morning when he de-
decided on Kenosha as his next stop"
and selected the Jacob Gottlieb COM
pany as fair prey. 1t was through the
initial activity of Mrs. Jacob GOttlieb
that the alleged econ" man, who gives
the name of Charles Murray Levy, was
arrested at Fond du Lac Tuesday night
on information sent out by the Keno
sha police department. Lieutenant
Charles Rock and officer John Meow
ern left for Fond du Lac this morning
and expect to return with Levy under
custody this evening.
In the meantime the father of Miss
B. J. Setback, with whom Levy eloped
on Nov 10 from Chicago without a
by-your-leave or farewell, has Joined
the authorities in an effort to have
Levy brought to justice. 1t was this
human side of the affair which first
enlisted the good will of Mrs. Gottlieb,
as she believed that the young woman
with Levy, whom he had introduced as
his wife, was respectable girl of
good family, who had been mislead I'M
der false representations by an i'm
postor. Acting on this intuitive i'm
pulse, she communicated Monday morn
ing by telephone with the parents at
Chicago, with the result that Setback

Father Overcome by News.
Setback was overwhelmed at the news
that his daughter had been in Kenosha
only SO recently as Saturday, as he
had, he said, engaged private detectives
upon the case, who were working on
the theory that Levy had taken his
daughter to New York.
Meanwhile Levy and Schack's daugh-
ter had again disappeared into the blue
distance and it was only the chance of
a laundering telegram from Levy to
the GreinerNash company, whose car
he had, that indicated that he was
winging his way north. His arrest
followed.
This is the way the discovery of
Levy's operations and his subsequent
arrest come about:
