APPEAL TO ALL
FOR CONFERENCES
Civic Council Seeks to In
terest All Kenoshans in
Conferences Here.
ASK MINISTER'S HELP
Want City-Wida Interest in
the Meetings to Discuss
Community Problems.

That the community conferences
which are to be held in Kenosha on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
this week in the interests of a better
Kenosha, will be completely success
full was the indication given at the
meeting of the Kenosha Civic council
on Monday evening in the city hall.
Chairmen of the various committees
who are participating in the state con-
test sponsored by the Wisconsin Con-
ference of Social Work, whose aim is
to find out which city in the state is
the best to live in, reported that their
subcommittee were enthusiastically
working on reports to be presented at
each of the five conferences scheduled
for the three days of the sessions in
Kenosha. In addition to these reports,
the Wisconsin Conference has secured
for the meetings here several speak
ers of national note in their respec-
tive fields who will attempt to point
out where Kenosha needs bolstering
up and who will attempt, from til >
face of the reports presented at these
meetings, to help the community point
way to the solution of public and
private welfare questions and prob
lens that come up.

.SHERIFFS WANT
TWO-TERM LAW
Start Campaign to Back
Bill in Legislature at
Coming Session.
FIND APPROVAL HERE

Agitation for the enactment of a
bill at the coming legislature which
shall allow sheriffs to succeed them
selves in consecutive terms is now as
Stunning statewide proportions. In al
most every county of the state efforts
are being attempted to stir up en-
thusiasm for the bill which would SUI
percede the present law which allows
sheriffs only one term at time. The
bill also includes clause which seeks
to provide that the estates of sheriffs,
who may lose their lives while in the
performance of duties of Office shall
receive a certain amount from the
state.
1t is expected that as a result of
this agitation a bill providing for
these measures will be in the hands
of the proper committees before the
legislature convenes in January.
Willems Approves Efforts.
+ Sheriff Fred Pabst of Kenosha coun-
ty declares that such a law can re-
suit only in good for the counties of
the state and will serve to continue
efficiency in office. Sheriff-elect Frank

movement. Neither of these men,
however, would be effected by the
enactment Of such law at the pres
ent time.
"Under the present law" comment
ed Willems, ga sheriff has but two
years in which to serve his county,
and this period of time, I believe, is
not long enough to allow a man to get
thoroughly acquainted with the work
of the office and to reach the peak OF
efficiency in service to the county that
he should be allowed to attain. A
sheriff just about gets a chance to
hang his curtains up in the sheriff's
residence when he has to begin look
ing about for another place to move
into when his term is over. There
are great many other handicaps and
disadvantages to the single-term law
and I am sure that present conditions
warrant the change to allow a sheriff
to succeed himself"
Tried To Pass Law Before.
On several previous occasions eff
forts have been made to get similar
law passed, but these have always
been losing fights. But this year the
fight promises to be strong one and
already several men interested in the
proposition are canvassing the state
to gather followers and to raise funds
to carry the work into the legislative
chambers in Madison in January.

It was determined in the municipal

bouncer; that is that he did not as

This morning Shieve came into court

was not the man whom he alleged as
saulted him at the State Line Inn.
He said he had not seen Schubert be-
fore until he laid eyes upon him in
the clerks office.
Judge Slater inquired more partic-
ularly to this but Shieve stuck to his
story. He insisted that he had caus-
ed the arrest of Schubert because
someone had told him that Schubert

he knew it was the man working out
there that had assaulted him. Asked
who it was who gave him that inform

Wash your hands before eating.
Do not use eating and drinking
utensils unless they have been ster-
ilized in boiling water since last used
Common towels and linens are germ
exchangers-avoid them.

Follow New Plan in
Registering Autos

Madison, visa new system in
motor vehicle registration which is
designed to greatly expedite the
handling of 1926 license plates is an
nounced by Secretary of State Fred
r. Zimmerman. Under the new plan,
application blanks for 1925 licenses
are being sent to all of the approx
mately $4,000 owners obtaining lie
enses in 1924.
In this way, it is stated, owners
can make application directly to the
department Immediately and avoid
difficulty of sending in applications
through local representatives. Al
ready several thousand applications
for 1926 licenses have been obtained
under the plan.
The new system also allows dou-
BILE check to be made on the 1924
licenses, Mr.. Zimmerman said. Each
application coming in will be check
ed with the license of 1924 to ascer-
tain if the automobile number is the
same. If it is discovered that any
owners have transferred cars or fail
ed to register them this year, they
will be required to pay the 1924 fee,
Several carloads of license plates
are on hand for distribution, officials
say. The first plates will be sent out
the last week in December.

Decorative Plans for
Dayton Dining Room
Room Promises to be One of the Most
Beautiful in Kenosha's New
Hotel on Main st.

The decorative plans for the new
dining room in the Hotel Dayton
were received in Kenosha this morn
ing and the dining room promises to
be one Of the most interesting and
beautiful features of the new hotel.
The furnishings for the room have
been worked out by Mandel Brothers
in Chicago. 1t will have beautiful
carpets, beautiful hangings and the
furniture will be unusually attractive.
The main dining room of the hotel
will provide accommodations for two
hundred guests and service in it will
be supplemented by an English grill
which is to be located in the basement
of the building. The furnishings of
the grill will also be very attractive
but of a nature to conform with the
nature of the room.
Similar grill rooms are now being
arranged for in all of the larger ho-
tells of the larger cities and they have
proven most acceptable as an addi-
ton to the serving features of these
hotels.
The work of laying the brick in the
walls of the Hotel Dayton was start
ed this morning and the terra Gotta
is expected to come along the first of
next week. It is not expected that
the work will be delayed by the win
ter season.

HOBBLE BLAINE in
NAMING LEGISLATORS
Senator Titus Would Make it Illegal
for Governor to Appoint Mem
bers of Legislature.

Fond du Lac, Wis. Definite an
nouncement that he will introduce a
bill in the next legislature to prohib-
it the governor from appointing mem
bers of the state legislature to any
appointive position, was made today
by State Senator w. A. Titus of Fond
du Lac, in a statement outlining his
legislative plans.
Senator Titus recently submitted
his resignation to the governor as a
member of the university board Of
visitors, declared at the time that he
accepted the appointment without any
thought that it was made for a. pur-
pose and that he opposed the appoint
ment of legislators by the executive
Other measures which the Fond du
Lac senator saidS he will introduce
and work for include: gasoline tax,
liability insurance for automobile
owners, decrease in state expendi-
lures, adequate funds for bovine tub
erculosis eradication, and elimina-
ton of all state positions not abso-
lutely necessary.
Senator Titus further said he would
advocate a shorter session of the leg
islature and would oppose the con-
struction of capitol annex.
Speaking of the legislative APP
pointments by the governor, Mr.. Tit
US stated that five of the thirty
three members Of the last state SEN
ate have been appointed to state Of
fees. A member of the assembly
was appointed state prohibition d.
rector, he said.
A bill requiring automobile owners
to take out liability insurance or file
an affidavit of liability when issued
a state, license, will be urged by Mr..
Titus.
"a liability rule is the only way to
stop all of the reckless driving which
has come about through the use of
the automobile" the local senator
said.
Opposition to increases in state ap-
preparations to any department was
voiced by Senator Titus, with the ex-
ception of the bovine tuberculosis
fund.

Sister Succumbs
to Long Illness
Sister Mary of the Divine Heart Died
This Morning at st. GATHERINGS
After a Long Illness.

Sister Mary of the Divine Heart,
aged 40 years, member of the Sis
ters of St. Dominic, died just before
seven o'clock this morning at the St.
GATHERINGS Hospital after an illness
of several weeks from a complication
of diseases. The deceased, whose
name in private life, was Theresa Car
vile. was born in Kilkeel, County
Down, Ireland and had received her
education in her native land. Twelve
years ago she came to America and
shortly after that time entered the
sisterhood at its then parent institu-
ton in Oregon. She had joined the
teaching branch of the order and had
been a most inspiring and successful
teacher.
For several years prior to her i'll
ness she had been a teacher at the
st. Rose Parochial School at Hamford,
California, being largely instrumental
in the development of that school.
She had been very much beloved by
the people of that community and by
the pupils of the school and the news
of her death will come as great
sorrow to the community. Last Sep
TENDER she came to St. GATHERINGS
Hospital here because of illness but
had been unable to recover from gen.
eral breakdown.
She is survived by a sister, Mrs.
Joseph Krangle, of San Francisco, and
her mother and two brothers in Ire
land.
The funeral services will be held
Thursday morning at the St. Gather
ines Chapel at the St. GATHERINGS
Hospital at zine o'clock with the Rev.
erend Father Habrecker reading the
requiem mass. Interment will be in
