Issues a Warning
Against ImpOstOr
Field Major Williamson of Salvation
Army Warns Against Giving
Money to Stranger for Corps.

A warning was issued this morning
by Field Major Thomas Williamson,
of the Kenosha corps of the Salvation
Army, advising Kenoshans not to
donate funds to strangers for the
support of the organization. Within
the past few days a man has been in
Kenosha, presenting himself as a rep
resentative of the Salvation Army and
in several instances securing donations
amounting to several dollars. Field
Major Williamson says that this man,
who has appeared both in the uniform
of the Salvation Army and in civilian
clothes, does not represent the local
organization and so far as he knows
does not represent the Salvation Army
in any way. He advises Kenoshans
before giving donations of any kind
to the Salvation Army, TO telephone
him and make sure that the person
making the collections is bona fide
member of the organization.

"That place ought to be closed"
said the judge. "This is going too far.
He has been fined, his wife has been

bartender has been fined. And still
they give him permit to run"
The "him" the judge referred to is
Mike Johonovicz, who still holds the
fort in spite of all bombardments.
Get Man With Jug of Moon.
The reason the judges ire was
aroused came about because man

of Number 33 with a jug of moon.
Tony Protozevitz, 664 west street
was arrested at $3.50 a. m. by Police
Officers O'Hare, Beam and Ernst,
when he, two other men and a Mrs.
Dznski of Prairie avenue, came out of
33 North Main street. Tony P. had a
jug of moon. He tried to break the
bottle when he saw the police.
The story he tried to tell the court
this morning was that he was invited
to take ride with couple of friends
and did not know that "they had a
jug of moon with them. Just after
making this statement he said he
would plead guilty.
s. Carried Roll of Green.
The judge wanted to know why
Tony was carrying 1912 in his pocket
at that moment. Tony said that his
brother-in-l in Milwaukee had sud-
denly decided to pay him bill that
was long due, and that's how.
Tony told the judge that he works
at a local factory three or four hours
a day.. "And them" said the judge,
continuing the story for him, "you go
to 33 North Main"
"You will pay a fine of $3.50 and

Want Parking Time Cut.
A petition from business men ask
ing for the decrease of the parking
time allowed vehicles parked at the
curb on Market street between Church
street and the alley east of Church

WOMAN VICTIM
OF SMALLPOX
Smallpox Claims Victim in
Death of Miss Margaret
Alice Ausen.
TAKE ALL PRECAUTION

The first adult death from smallpox
to occur in Kenosha for many years,
occurred this morning in the demise
of Miss Margaret Alice Ausen, aged
81 years, who died at the Isolation
hospital after two weeks illness from
the disease. She had been apparently
on the way to recovery when she was
stricken with heart attack on Mon
day evening, from which in her weak
ened condition she could not rally.
The health department took this
occasion to issue new warning to
the public to guard against the spread
of smallpox in Kenosha. There are
now six cases of smallpox in the city
and despite all Of the precautions
taken by the department, the spread
of the disease has not been checked.
Persons who know that they have been
exposed to the disease are advised to
become vaccinated. Smallpox is APP
pearing in more malignant form this
year than for several years; in several
states; notably Minnesota, there have
been many deaths from the disease and
every effort is being made here to
nip any epidemic in the start.
Miss Ausen was taken i'll two weeks
ago, the symptoms being first those
of measles. Later developments show
ed clearly that she was suffering from
smallpox and from a virulent form Of
the disease. She was taken to the
Isolation hospital where she had been
for the past ten days. The members
of her household and all others who
had been exposed to the disease, have
been vaccinated.
The deceased was born August 2,
1903 in Minnesota and had lived her
early life in that state. Seven years
ago she came to Kenosha and for the
past six years has been employed at
the Allen A company, where she was
most popular among the employees
of the company.
She is survived by her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Ausen, $40 Eighth
avenue, and by the following brothers
and sisters: Norman, Grant, Randall,
Abner, Roland, Hazel, Bernice, Adeline
and Mary Jane Ausen of Kenosha, and
Mrs. Selma Cook, of Mondovi, Wis.
The funeral services, which are
necessarily private, will be held at
four o'clock this afternoon at the
Green Ridge cemetery with interment
in the family plot there.

"Why, where have you been!" cried
Judge Slater to Joe Schubert.
Clown in Chicago"
"Did you run away?" asked the
judge in the amused tone of one
whose curiosity should be satisfied.
"No, sir. l just went down to see
my friend"
Joseph Schubert, bartender of the
State Line Inn which burned to the
ground, and "hero'' of that occasion
when he pulled John Schmidt and Mrs

place was surrounded by flames, and
yanked "Puppy-Boy" from under the
burning inn, was arrested this morn
ing by Deputy Sheriff Steve Robinson

street where Market and Main inter
sect, a more public place he could
hardly have chosen, when Robinson
stepping out of the Crystal barber
shop, espied him. "PuppyBoy" who
looks like a Shetland pony without the
name, was not with Schubert. Puppy
Boy by the way is Great Dane
weighing about 1875 pounds.
Two things were ascertained this
morning in the municipal court con-
corning Schubert; one that nothing
happened at the State Line Inn at
the time when Arthur Schieve alleges
that Schubert beat him up, and the
other, that Schubert did receive a re-
ward after the feat of rescuing the
Schmidts from. the burning inn
Joe Bushes Like Rose.
Schubert pleaded not guilty to the
charge of assault and battery upon
Arthur Schieve, and the case was dis
continued.
"You got $4,000 reward, didn't you p
inquired Judge Slater. Joe laughed
and turned the color of an Oriental
poppy when it turns open its flaming
petals to tho early morning sun
"Then you can give bail without no.
ticing it."
The case was set for hearing De-
cember at 9 a. M, bail $3.50.
Schubert when questioned after
wards about the reward, said he haG
not received as much as was rumored

modestly.

refs of Walter S. Dickey, owner and
editor of the Kansas City Journal

EskImos Sing to Jury.

An odd method of settling lawsuits
Is practiced by some of the remoter
tribes of Eskimos.
When two natives wish to settle a
dispute each collects his family and
friends to assist him, says the Detroit
Free Press. The parties meet at an
agreed time In the biggest hut In the
village and proceed to sing literally at
each other.
The plaintiffs party chant a series
Of rough verses insulting the defendant
and everything that-is his. Then comes
the rival party's turn, and for the next
hour or so thsy are allowed to sing at
their enemy, putting their insults into
some sort of meter.
The old men of the village act as
judge and jury, and the verdict is
given to the side which, In the opinion
Of the aged experts, has compressed
the largest amount of insult into the
best verse and the most noise

THE BUILDER

Pillars and groins and arches
All fashioned to work his will.
And men said, as they saw its beau

1T shall never know decay.
Great is thy skill, oh, builder,
Thy fame shall endure for aye"
A mother builded a temple
With loving and infinite care.
Planning each arch with patience.
Laying each stone with prayer.
None praised her unceasing efforts.
None knew of her wondrous plan.
For the temple the mother builded
Was unseen by the eyes Of man.
Gone is the builders temple
Crumbled into the dust;
Low lies each stately pillar.
Food for consuming rust.
But the temple the mother builded
WIN last while the ages roll.
For that beautiful unseen temple !
Was child's immortal soul

MEXICO CHILDREN WORK HARD
Lower Glasses Begin Their Duties
Early; Women Very Faithful to
Their Husbands.

The children of the lower class Mex
leans are brought up to work, and
work hard, almost from birth. The
mothers first child is carried on her
back, Indian-like, and the parent does
her work without any apparent in
convenience. By the time the second
offspring arrives the mothers house
hold duties have so increased that she
must be free as far as possible from
the care Of her children, says the De-
troit News. The first-bOrn is there
upon charged with the care of the lit
tie brother or sister, and it is quite
the rule to see some tiny tot of three
years, or less, valiantly carrying
around the younger member of the
family.
These women have no thought ex-
cept for daily round. They are fidelity
personified, and their lord and mas
ter's word is law. The male of this
type is jealous in the extreme, but he
rules by inspiring fear, and will leave
his spouse whenever he thinks fit,
knowing full well that she will not
dare to offend the moral law, or dis
obey him in the slightest degree In
