Report Shows Roster of
Department and Many
Changes.
ARRESTS AS USUAL
Over 800 Arrested During the
Month of August, Increase
Over a Year Ago.

The roster of the police department
as included in the report of police
activities for the month of August,
compiled by Secretary Emil F. Meiss-
ner, shows that there are now forty
seven enrolled in the force, and most
of these have joined since Thad w.
Logan became chief of police in the
summer of 1921.
In addition to the chief, there is
the assistant chief, captain, lieutenant,
secretary, three sergeants, two detec-
tives, besides their lieutenant, an cleo
trician, mechanic, one police woman,
three night ambulance drivers, six
motorcycle officers, and twenty-five
patrolmen.
The names of all those who are now
members of the Kenosha police de-
partment is given as follows, in order
of rank: Thad w. Logan, John Cyzak,
Emil Clausen, Charles F. Rock, Emil
F. Meissner, Max F. Kramer, Matthew
u. Kirsch, Frank Schneeberger, John
Breidt, Frank McCluskey, Fred Brad
ley, John McGivern, Mrs. Beulah Nc
Neil, Anton Borden, Ernst Radatz,
Henry Meurer, Paul Wellman, William
Long, Lawrence Melbusch, Edward La
Point, Harold Rock, Martin Rupp,
George O'Hare, Robert Mitchell, Jo-
seph Bauschelt, J. Leo Buchanan,
Walter Chase, Charles Ambelang, Law
renee Bauschelt, Henry Vanderwahl,
Perry Tusler, Arthur Riley, Joseph
Beam, Paul Callahan, Henry Fenske,
Edward Pecan, Rueben Olsen, Fred
Studer, Edward Radatz, Delos Rey-
nolds, Paul j. Rohde, John Cunning
ham, Fred Lehman, Otto Pollesch,
Arthur Larsen, Howard Watson and
Curt Eek.
Of these the last twenty-fv and
Mrs. Mcneil have joined the police
force since Thad Logan became chief.
Many Arrests During Month.
During the month of August there
were 319 arrests for all the various
offenses from abandonment at the first
of the alphabet to violations of the
state health law at the other end of
the alphabet. During the month of
August in 1923 there were 206 ar
rests. There were 305 men and ID
women arrests in the last month.
The record shows that of these ar
rests the majority of the offenders
were between twenty and forty years
of age. Apparently grey hair brings
wisdom and law-abidingness for only
twelve over sixty were arrested.
Ninety-fve were between the ages of
thirty and forty.

Increase of 469 Pupils Ex-
ceeds Number Plans .
Were Made for.
HAVE NEW PROBLEM
New Jefferson School Just
Opened Unable to Take Care
of Increased Enrolment.

One hundred and six pupils and no
place to put them! An increase Of
AGO pupils enrolled in the city schools
over 1923 and equipment to handle
only 363 comfortably!
That briefly is the problem confront
ing Superintendent Guy f. Loomis and
the kenosha school board at the present
time. Figures showing the attendance
in all of the city schools at the end of
the first week of school in the present
term were presented to the members
of the board at its meeting on Tues
day evening. The figures we're pre-
pared by Tie various school principals
of the city's II elementary schools,
three junior high schools, four spe-
cial schools and the senior high school.
The usual situation has presented it
self for the consideration of the board
of education whereby it is asked to
make arrangements to house more pu-
pills than there is equipment for.
Superintendent LOOMS, after consid-
cradle study of the conditions in the
schools, made several recommendations
and suggestions to the board at Its
Tuesday meeting, but these suggestions
form only a tentative and temporary
solution to the weighty problems in
volved, according to LOOMS.
The new jefferson school was opened
for the first time last week and it al
ready has an enrolment of 1853 pupils
which figure is beyond its capacity.
At the present time the Jefferson rep
resents the only additional facilities
for handling the Increased enrolment
with which the school board has to
work.
Large increases are reported in sew
eral of the elementary schols and in
all of the junior high schools. The
largest increase in the history of the
Kenosha high school is that which re-
ported for classes last Tuesday. The
enrolment in that school in 1921 was
SAT; in 1922, 594;. in 1928, 642, and in
1924, 1872. an increase of 80 over that
of 1923. 1t was pointed out that there
have been no new rooms provided for
the additional students enrolled at the
high school and the already overcrowd-
ed conditions have been materially in
creased.
New Record Enrolment.
The total number of pupils enrolled
in all the city schools is 7,867-the
larges. in the history of the city
schools. This figure represents an in
crease of 469 over 1923; an increase of
ss5 over 1922, and in increase of 1,162
over 1921. The LOG pupils above mem

No Half HOLIDAY
Here On Friday
For Defense DGy

Formal announcement was made this
morning that the plan for having Fri
day a half holiday in observance of
National Defense Day here had been
abandoned. Several weeks ago the
council passed resolution declaring
the day half holiday; today this res
olution was supplanted by one which
urged the general observance of the
day but withdrew the adoption of
half holiday. The plans now are for
a parade IN the evening, sponsored by
the Kenosha post Of the American
Legion; all residents of the city are
urged to join in this evening observ-
ance of the day.
Stores will therefore remain open
on Friday as usual and factories will
not be closed for half holiday as
originally planned.

Chicago, Ill. At 2:45 o'clock
this afternoon Nathan Leopold,
Jr., and Richard Loeb still were

refused to state when they would
start for Joliet. Meanwhile po-
lice escort remained in front of
the jail prepared for immediate
departure.
There were intimations that the
the trip might be delayed until to-

Plans previously announced were
that the prisoners were to be con-
veyed by motor car. The peniten-

from State Senator Herman ]. Sever
SON of lola, answering the executives
demand that Severson appear and sub
nit testimony regarding charges of al

BULLETIN.

Chicago, Ill. At the Office OF
the county sheriff, in the criminal
courts building, it was announced
that Loeb and Leopold would not
be slated for Joliet today. They
probably will be held in the local
Jail until Friday, it was stated.
There was, however, a persistent
rumor that the start would be
made within a few hours.
An immense crowd gathered
about the entrance of the Cook
county Jail when the decision be-
came known. A score of motorcy-
Gle policemen lined up on both
sides of the street, held the people
in check. The crowd was silent
and merely stood around watching
sny inil daTrs.
Iudg., Caverly remained in his
gamblers after delivering BIZ SEN
tence for about three quarters Of
an hour. When he left 1t was by
private corridor and elevator.
He was again surrounded by
guards and went away from the
building so swiftly that onIookers
in the street were not aware of his
identity.
Finally the crowd was convinced
that it would see nothing and 1t
dissolved. Meanwhile, Sheriff
Peter Hoffman's Office was busy
preparing the commitment papers
for the warden of the Joliet peni-
Tertiary. 1t was thought the boys
would be started to their life cells
shortly after noon.
Leopold and Loeb ordered steaks
two inches thick with every eide
dish they could think of for their
dinner, the sheriff said.
1T may be the last good meal
we will get in our lives" they
told their jailers.
