Asked to Enter Better
Cities Contest Among
Badger Cities.
COMMITTEE Is NAMED
Osborn Names Committee Be-
fore Which Project Is to
Be Explained Soon.

Is Kenosha the best city in the
state under $4,000 in offering the
largest possible group Of opportunities
for the bringing up Of children?
If Kenosha is that city, it will win
$1,000 for it is entered in just such a
contest which has been launched un-
der the auspices of the Wisconsin
Conference of Social Work. City Man
ager C. M. Osborn on Friday after
noon received letter from Aubrey
Williams, executive secretary of the
state organization inviting Kenosha to
become a contestant and setting forth
some of the methods which will be
used to find this best city in that line
of classification.
City Manager Osborn has answered
her invitation stating that suitable
committee will be named here to meet
with the representative OF the con-
ference to discuss the project.
Tells of Contest.
The contest is a part of the Better
Cities movement which has been
launched by the Wisconsin Conference
of Social Work A prize of $1,000 has
been offered to the city in Wisconsin
between 10000 and $4,000 to be adjudg-
ed the best place in the state for the
conservation and development of child
life. Another prize is offered to cities
between 1900 and 10000.
The various state departments are
at the present. time engaged in work
ing out equitable measure score cards
by which the various community in
stitutions and activities, such as edu-
cational, recreation, health, home, gov
eminent, social work, libraries, town
and rural relations IS they affect
child life may be rated. There will be
two groups of these measurement
units, one to be of popular nature
that can be filed out by local COM
mittees, the other to be of more
technical and complex nature to be
filled out by representatives OF the
state departments and others espe-
cially trained in the social field
To Help All Cities.
The idea of the movement is that
all cities entered will profit greatly by
the exchange of ideas. There will be
preliminary survey made by local
groups which will enable them to
guage relatively how they stand in a
particular activity and T. make all
necessary improvements during the
time allotted The more complex and
technical measurements are to be
made at the close Of the contest.
The contest will open formally May
Is, 1924, and will continue until June
80, 1925. Cities entering the contest
assume no financial obligation and
may withdraw at any time they desire.
In each city, civic organizations such
as the Kiwanis or Rotary club or the
Woman's club, have taken hold OF the
movement It is anticipated that sew
eral of these will unite in the work
here.
A speaker from the state organiza-
ton will come to Kenosha shortly to
address the committee named here.
The Kenosha Service league as a
member Of the Wisconsin Conference
Of Social Work, is interested in hav-
ing Kenosha enter the contest.

Says Man in Grey
Car Held Him Up
H. Gerrish, 404 Lake Avenue, Tells Po-
lice Bandit Played Gun on Him
But Got Nothing.

Pretending that he was a police Of
fcer, a man in a grey Mitchell touring
car stopped H. Gerrish of 404 Lake
avenue Sunday and held him up, ac-
cording to report made to the police
Gerrish said the grey Mitchell carried
no license.
The driver stopped him, said that he
was an officer and had to arrest him
for speeding. While Gerrish parleyed
with the man, the stranger stepped in
to his car, pulled gun, and made
Gerrish "put 'em up" The bandit re-
ceived nothing for his pains after he
had gone through Gerrish's pockets.
The grey Mitchell was newly paint
ed and the bandit driver, Gerrish said,
was about 35 years of age, blonde and
wore grey hat.

Kenosha's drop from second place to
fourth place in the list of counties in
the payment of individual income taxes
is believed to have been caused by the
withdrawal of the Offices and officials
of the Simmons company from Keno
sha. There has been, it is said, no
noticeable decrease in the salaries re-
ported elsewhere and in many in
stances there have been increases. Sup
ervisor Cundy reports that more in
come blanks were filed showing that
the smaller incomes have not fallen
off in numbers.

John Brzicki is Gertrude's father.
Strain was shown in the faces
the two older men as they step
forward to sign the bonds for tt
younger relative.
"Have you any more papers
sign?" said the uncle with irony, I
ing his pen aloft as he had sig
the bonds to the three charges.
"Yes," added the father of Beckr
with like irony, 'bring on roll
them. We're ready now"
Neither the girl, Gertrude, nor
father were present in the courtrt
when the warrants were read.
Frederick Beckman was this me
ing ordered into the municipal CT
to face three new charges prefer
against him by District Attorney n
ris Barnett with Gertrude Brick
complaining witness. The charges
all serious statutory ones, arising
Of Beckman's alleged intimate r
tions with the young girl while
was nursemaid in his home.
This morning in the lower court,
attorneys who had battled in the :,
cult court on another case connec
with the same alleged affair, gather
again. District Attorney Barnett
present in behalf of the state, VIII
/ Attorney Roy S. Stephenson again r,
resented Fred Beckman as attorr
for the defense.
District Attorney Morris Barnett ,
nounced that he was representing
family of Gertrude Brzicki which v

case against Beckman, and represel
ing also the rights Of the commun

He refused to drop the case of Be

"In view of the seriousness of
charges" said the district attorn
''we cannot feel that we are doing {
duty by letting it rest at the pres'
situation. We are going as far as
law will permit us, and doing Of
what we consider to be right, with
interest whatsoever except in follc
ing our duty"
Warrants for Beckman have BIZ
sworn out on three very serious s
tutory charges, naming adultery,
duction of young girl, and bastar
xttsI1 he -ot
on each charge, and bonds will be a
ed for on the part of the district
torney in keeping with the seriousn
of the offense charged in each case.
1t was question today of whetl
the new charges against Beckm
would go to trial, due to the old c.
stitutional rule that man may ]
be put in jeopardy twice for the sa
offense. However, disinterested att
neys pointed out that it is a cl'
question.
In the trial which has just concll
ed with a verdict Of acquittal
Beckman on another statutory often
the jury was confined to proof as
specific dates, while in the new w
rants issued this morning, it is !
necessary to prove date, should a
one of the three cases come to trial
1t is expected that when the cas-
are slated for preliminary heari
that strenuous legal battle will I
velop.
There was "a rumor today that ]

was denied this morning by the CT

ALIEN SMUGGLING
HEAVY, SAYS DAVIS
Secretary Believes Nearly
Million Brought Into U. S.
in Fiscal Year:
Rr ,be sssoriarcd Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
BCENOS AIRES. November 29----
Speaking' before the American Cluh,
where he was the guest OF honor at
luncheon yesterday, Secretary OF La
hor Davis said he estimated that $780,
900 cmigrants had entered the United
States clandestinely during the fiscal
year 1924.
Secretary Davis said that much OF
this illegal emigration came over the
Mexican and Canadian borders and
that the Immigration department did
not know exactly how il was done.
He estimated that $4,000 foreign sea-
men arrived in the United States
ports and never took the return voy-
age.
The Secretary cited these figures as
showing what would happenff Amer
fca should throw the immigration
doors open. He estimated that there
were 10000, 900 Europeans who want
ed to enter the United States and de
clared that the country could not
absorb this number economically.
ut is better that we look after
our own workmen.' he said, that we
rehabilitate the disabled to make
them capable OF renewing their work,
as We are now doing through our
vocational educational system, than
TO throw them in the scrap heap and
let the millions Of immigrants in"
The speaker told the 200 Ameri-
cans present that the more Ameri-
can goods they sold Argentina the
better for American labor, because 1t
meant that more We're employed in
manufacturing.
Mr. Davis promised that when he
roturnS 70 the United States he would
bu a booster for the project of
eNempting Americans in business
abroad from the income tax. He paid
a tribute TO DIR. Ionoris Pueyrreddon.
Argentine ambassador to the United
States. who was present at the lunch
eon, for his work in strength ming
the amicable relations between the
two countries.
The Secretary concluded by saying
that when his parents emigrs,ted from
Wales It was virtually a toss-up be-
tween going to the United States or
Joining the Welcll colony in Chubut
Argentina.

ITALY WATCHES DISPUTE.
Sees Parallel to Own Case in Brit
iSh Row in Epypt.

By Radio % The Star and Chicago Daily News.
ROME, November 2S.--Ttalian news
papers show great interest in the
events in Egypt, partly because so
many Italians live in Alexandria. but
mainly because of the parallel which
they profess to find between the pres
ent British action and the Italian
action in the Corfu incident.
Great Britain, say the Italians.
acted promptly when national honor
was involved. Why, then. did the
British representative in the League
of Nations assembly fay italy for
similar action against Greece? If
Italy should have submitted her case
to the league at that time Great
Britain should do SO now.
The Roma Tribana. examining the
dispdted points, says:
we understand Great Britain's $
position perfectly, but why did not
Great Britain understand ours then?'
