eve are now in immediate need of
more houses in Kenosha and instead
of seventy being built there should
be at least three times that number"
! he declared.
o the buildings named all but a few
are actually under construction. The
high school building and the voca-
tional school are the only ones on
which work has not actually been
started but in the instance of several
of the larger buildings, it is i'm
probable that they will be completed
this year.
If the realm of prospective buildings
is invaded a little further mention
/ should be made of the new Masonic
Temple which will without doubt be
started before the end of the present
season. In addition to the building
program mentioned above, the Sim
mons company is also contemplating
in the near future a series of build
ings to be erected in the event that
they secure She lake property affected
by the bill how before the legislature.

Kenosha is this year entering into
one of the most extensive building eras
in the history of the city, according to
the figures made public this morning
by Building Inspector j. M. Albers,
revealing that work now under con-
struction or now being contemplated,
amounts to more than $3,400,0oo. This
activity extends into every branch of
the building industry from public
structures, such as court house, school
houses and the like, to industrial
building and private residences of
every description.
probably failed to realize the vast
building program which has been
launched here" declared Mr.. Albers.
"Only once in the history of the city
has such large building program been
| mapped out and while it will not all be
completed during the present season
much of it now is underway and will
be nearing complexion when the snow
flies again"
Court House Leads the List.
The new court house and Jail build
ing which is to occupy the entire block
surrounded by Market, Congress, Pearl
streets and Sheridan road, heads the
list of structures now under the pro-
cess of construction. 1t is to cost
S82S,000 completed, with furnishings
bringing the probable cost Of the build
ing to the million dollar mark.
Other public buildings all ready
started are the two new elementary
school buildings to be known as the
Grant and Jefferson schools and to
cost in the neighborhood of $3.50 600
each. The new high school building,
while not actually under construction,
is under contemplation and will prob
ably be started before September.
This will cost, according to the present
plans, in the neighborhood of $1,000
900. A vocational school is also next
on the school building program at an
estimate of $25O,000, but there is lit
tie likelihood it will be actually started
before another season.
Of quasi public nature is the new
st. James school which has already
been started and which is to cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Several Industries Expanding.
Unprecedented building activity is
also seen among the industries Of Ke-
nosha. The Simmons company heads
the list with the erection now under
way of large factory building at the
corner of Market and Exchange streets
to cost in the neighborhood of $360,O00.
The company is also excavating for a
large garage to be built for $4,000.
The Allen A company will also erect
this season a new Office and factory
building on the site which it recently
purchased on Prairie avenue, at an es-
timated cost of $350OOO. The Ameri-
can Brass company is working now
on a large addition to its Kenosha
plant which will be finished at cost
of $4,000.
The Nash Motors company has just
completed the erection of a $4,000
stadium at its athletic field; the Frost
Manufacturing company is building
$4,000 addition to its plant.
Business Buildings Planned.
The building enthusiasm here has
also entered the realm of business
blocks. The most outstanding exam
pie of this is the new S15O.000 building

RIO GRAINDE RIVER
Mexicans Declared to Have Robbed
and Killed Italians Seeking to be
Struggled Into Country.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

CBy Associated Press Leased Wire)
Mexico City-Newspaper dispatches
from Nuevo Laredo say that thirty
two bodies believed to be the remains
of Italians and other persons of
foreign birth who have been robbed
and murdered while attempting to en-
ter the United States illegally, have
been recovered from the Rio Grande
river in the vicinity of Laredo, Tex,
on the Mexican side of the river.
An investigation is under way at
Monterey, the dispatches assert, to de-
termine the truth of charges that
members of family in that city have
been numbering and robbing foreigners
whom they have inveigted into at
tempting clandestine entrance into the
United States.
Except for the remains of six Ital-
ians recently found, the correspondents
say, the bodies have long been sub
merged in the river mud and identified
ton is impossible.
Six Italians, hiring a band of Mexi-
cans to smuggle them across the Rio
Grande at a point near Nuevo Laredo,
were murdered by their guides on the
night of May 3, according to the story
told by the seventh and surviving
member of the party who made his
way to Columbia, Nuevo Leona, Mexi-
co. Subsequently five bodies weighted
with stones, were recovered from the
river. Several Mexicans have been
arrested in Nuevo Laredo, in eonnec-
ton with the murders.
