in my home town is doing just that
thing can't refrain from writing you
my appreciation Of the fact that you
have chosen Jackie Coogan's efforts to
entertain the public as the vehicle for
raising funds for your worthy cause.
Ever since / used to live over there
on Sheridan road and Pearl street in
Kenosha, and later on Park street, I've
had an ambition. I've been nursing
that ambition right along until now
can modestly say that I've attained the
goal I set for myself. And it makes
me doubly happy when | learn that
what consider as the best thing I've
ever done is being used in my own
home town to raise funds for cause
that has always been close to my heart.
I wish you and your club all the sue
cess in the world in your work" the
letter concludes.
And so Kenoshans too now have a
double interest in the picture coming
here next week.

The first thing the captain noticed
as he entered thereon, was bottle
which Kovalis had in his hand. AS

showed the bottle in his pocket. Cap

found that it was moonshine, and ar
rested Kovalis on the charge Of un-
lawful possession.

skis had company when he went down
to court, fer his bartender attended
him. Both pleaded guilty to the charg-
es against them and the cases were

Governments Bill to Carry Out
Agreements Already Made.

London-Winston Churchill, chan
,cellor Of the exchequer in the House
of Commons this afternoon, is moving
the second reading of the bill return
ing Great Britain to the gold standard.

in the Labor cabinet, plans to move
rejection of the bill on the ground that
the proposed action is unduly precipi-

depression. Government supporters
ridicule the idea that any administra-

in It's budget in difference to what
they describe as carefully engineered

with the federal reserve bank, which
had undertaken to give the Bank Of
England revolving credit Of 100000.
$$$ for two years from May 20, or the
date of the British governments guar
antee which ever date was the --latest!
Revolving Credit with Morgan.
The second arrangement was with
a syndicate headed by the house of
Morgan, with the, British\ government
direct, for a revolving credit Of $780,
100000.
In each case the arrangement was
for two years interest, to be paid as
and when the credit was drawn on, a:
one percent above the federal reserve
discount rate, with a minimum Of
four per cent and maximum Of six
per cent, then at the discount rate OF

Commission Hears Pleas
on Truesdell-St. Paul
r. r. Crossing.
GIVES NO DECISION
Railroad Protests the Demand
for Track Elevation ON
the Geneva Road.

Whether Kenosha county is to have
it's crossing problem on the Geneva
road ct the intersection of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad
solved by track elevation or not, now
hangs in the balance with the decision
of the Wisconsin Railroad commits
sion. The commission held hearing
in the city hall this morning at which
representatives of the st. Paul rail
road appeared to present their side Of
the discussion, and these were an
swered by John Herzog, chairman Of
the Kenosha county highway commits
sion, Joseph Friend, coroner of Ke-
nosha. county, Charles Holderness,
county clerk, and La Fayette Robin
son, member of the Kenosha county
board.
The session continued throughout
the morning as evidence was present
ed by the witnesses in the case. At
the conclusion Of the hearing the COM
mission, represented in Kenosha by "A.
r. Mcdonald, took the case under adj
visement. No decision will be given
out at this time, it was said, and
further investigation by the commits
sion's engineers Is to be made to as
sist the commission in making its
decision.
Highway. Commissioner John Her
zog gave his side Of the case to the
commission testifying that the &C.
neva road crossing "is unduly and un-
usually dangerous to public travel and
that the highway is unusually heavily
travelled, the railroad being crossed
by from 5000 to 5000 motor cars per
day on Saturdays, Sundays and holi-
days, during the summer months, and
from 1900 to 5000 motor cars on 9th.
er days. The view Of trains from the
north is unduly INSTRUCTED and public
safety requires the installation and
operation Of crossing gates at that
crossing" He continued to show how
the county had reached the point
where the death toll at this crossing
was mounting SO high that the public
was demanding the elimination Of
danger at this crossing.

THREE MORE
ON THE FIRE
License Revelations Come
as Result of Cleanup
Work of Police.
ALL PLEADED GUILTY
All Had Entered Pleas of Guilty
to Charges of Violation
of Liquor Laws.

Five hundred dollars clicked into
the fund for the providing of a new
police station for Kenosha when the
city council on Monday evening by
unanimous vote revoked the licenses
for four Glass A permits and two Glass
B permits, all because the owners had
been convicted of violations of the
liquor laws All of the convictions
came as a result of the sponging up
activities of the. Kenosha police de-
partment within the past few weeks.
In each instance the cash bond of 800
for Glass A permit and $50 for a
Glass B permit was declared forfeited.
In addition three other saloon
keepers permits were placed in jea-
pordy as hearings were set on orders
to show cause why their permits should
not be revolved because of the fact
that heir bartenders had entered pleas
of guilty to violations of the liquor
laws. In such cases the ordinance
stipulates that the holder of the per-
nit is entitled to a hearing to
determine whether or not his permit
should be revoked.
In all of the nine instances pleas
of guilty to charges of violating the
liquor laws had been entered by those
arrested by the police during the raids.
Several of the cases arose out of the
noon-hour raids staged so successfully
several days ago by two policemen.
The Glass A permits which were re-
voked are those of: Joseph Lubnew-
ski, 8 South Ridge street; Victor
Godlewski, 495 Elizabeth street; John
Wilkowski, 38 Milwaukee avenue; Mike
Divjak, 263 Middle street. The Glass
B permits revoed we're those of H. D.
Painter, 1881 Salem avenue and Louis
Cesari, ITO Park street.
The three other Glass A permits
which are under fire as result OF
convictions against the bartenders
in each case are:
Permit of Mike Johnowicz, 33 North
Main street; William Stankewicz,
bartender, pleaded guilty to liquor
possession charge.
Permit of Domenick Capponi, 904
Park street; August Mencaccini, bar,
tender, pleaded guilty to possession
of liquor charge.
Permit of Pavlovic Asop, 511 Eliza
beth street; William Wojehenkewicz,
bartender, pleaded guilty to posses
sion of liquor charge.
The next regular meeting of the
city council was the date set for the
hearings on these three cases.
Fund Increasing Rapidly.
The revocation of the permits was
recommended both by Chief of Police
Thad Logan and by City Manager C.
M. Osborn. In each instance the
council voted unanimously to revoke
the permit in, question.
A little more than a year ago the
council adopted the policy of placing
funds received from the forfeiture of
bonds of permit holders into fund
for the providing of new police sta
ton. Within that short period $4,000
has been paid into the fund; this
represents the forfeiture Of cash bonds
for more than 100 permits as many
have been Glass B permits with cash
bond of only $50. The record shows
the part which the police have had
in movement for law enforcement In
the city Of Kenosha.

the marrow strip" appeared before the
council to oppose the annexation
maintaining that it would bring toe
heavy a burden on them to pay fol-
improvements which are expected to
follow the annexation move. Two
weeks ago when hearing was held
on the proposal, additional time was
allowed this group to add more ter
ritory to the west if they so desired
but a report was made that this did
not appear advisable.
A Bus ThOroughfare.
| Those in favor of the annexation OF
the tract declared that the property
| in question was ready for develop
ment and that this development could
come only by the securing Of water
sewer and electric service made pos
sible by annexation. 1t was also
pointed out that the annexation Of the
tract would make possible in the
future the paving of Grandviev
avenue thereby providing pavet
highway west which could be used fol
busses serving the west portion of the
city. At present there is no cross
street west of Charles street, which
is open throughout the winter months
The petition for annextion had the
legal number of signatures of cleo
tors and represented the legal amount
of acreage required.
While a movement is on foot fo1
the paving of Grandview avenue, nc
action for this project has yet beer
taken by the council and it must be
considered at subsequent meeting.
Launch Paving Program.
The street paving program for the
year 1925 was launched by the city
council when an ordinance establish
ing the width for paving to be laid on
nine streets was adopted. This is only
part of the program planned and
other streets will be added later; in
each instance the petition for paving
has been supported by at least a
majority of the frontage represented
on the street in question.
The streets which. were ordered to
be paved and the width established in
each case is shown below: North
| street, from Milwaukee avenue to John
| street, So feet; Harry avenue, from
Salem avenue to Selleck avenue, u

division, 80 feet.
The council also acted favorably on
petitions received for the paving Of
Wilson avenue between Fremont aven-
ue and Pleasant street and of Adams
street from Racine avenue to How
land avenue. These will be taken
up in their turn.
Establish Hour Parking.
At the request of merchants af-
fected by the ruling, the council
adopted a resolution establishing a
one hour parking zone on the south
side of Prairie avenue between Newell
and Charles street. Merchants there

left parked in front of their places of
business for several hours, doing
