Plenty OF Turkey, At Lou
Price Tomorrow Menu
Ken0shas Thanksgiving Dinner Need Not Be Turkey.
less. if Price and Supply of Barnyard Birds
Are to Govern the Meal

If anyone attempts to tell you that
your dinner table is going to be tur-
keyless tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day,
just swell up and give him the barn
yard guffaw. It isn't true, at any rate
not in Kenosha.
There's plenty of turkeys, plenty
of chickens, plenty of ducks, plenty
of geese-plenty of everything that
goes to make up the Thanksgiving
dinner menu-and it is all to be had
at price, retail, considerably below
the prices that prevailed one year ago
for the same commodities.
This, in brief, is the situation as
told by Kenosha's leading merchants
who deal extensively in poultry. There
is no reason why tomorrow's dinner
plans should be changed if they were
drawn UP TO include the fowl that John
Bradford made famous, or even any of
the lesser feathered breeds of the
barnyard, if price is to be, saken into
consideration, according to local deal
ers.
Shortage Talk is Bunk.
"All of this talk about shortage of
supply and consequent high prices of
turkeys is bunk" said .e OF Keno
sha's largest meas retailers today.

EXTRA!
TWO ARRESTED AS
STRANGER SUSPECTS
Philadelphia Police Believe They Have
Men Who Have Been
Attacking Women.

Philadelphia Two negroes
were under arrest here today charged
with attacking women, after the re-
appearance of "the stranger" a crafty
individual or individuals, whose swift
and sudden attacks on lone and un-
escorted women during the last few
weeks has caused the death of three
women and created terror.
One of the prisoners gave his name
as Ed. Jackson. He was arrested a
few minutes after Mrs. M. Kassinow
encountered a strange man in her
house, fought off his advances,
screamed "negrO" from her doorsteps
and then fell in a faint.
The other suspect is William Davis,
held without bail on a charge of at
tacking Miss Gladys Levin, semi
invalid, a few minutes after she had
alighted from a street car. She later
aided in capturing him.
Both men denied attacking the
women, but detectives said they were
certain that Davis was the man who
clutched Miss Levin by the throat.
Miss Levin identified him in court, and
Miss Dorothy Robins, who told police
she was seized and choked by a man
week ago, partially identified Davis
as the assailant.
: The necks Cd botfi Mrs. Kassinow
and Miss Levin showed bruises where
their attackers had tried to choke
them. In court Miss Levin screamed,
tainted and became hysterical when
Davis was brought into the room.

AWAKE TO FIND
HOUSE IN FLAMES
Fire Completely Destroys
Charles Johnson Farm
House In SOmers.
HEARD ROAR OF FIRE
Glen RhOads Awakened by the
Cracking of Flames, Guides
Household to Safety.

Awakened early this morning by the
cracking of timbers, Glen Rhoads, a
farm employee at the Charles Johnson
farm Just south of the Somers town
hall on the Green Bay road, discovered
that the farmhouse, occupied by the
two families, was on fire and by his
quick work in arousing the members
of the two households, saved all from
death in the flames that burned the
building to the ground.
Rhoads lived with his family on the
second floor of the house, large FARM
house, while the Johnson family lived
below. About 8 o'clock this morning
he awoke to hear timbers cracking as
if they were burning. He went into
the hall and was greeted by wall Of
smoke.
Leads Children to Safety,
His first thought. was for the people
in the household. Awaking his wife
and telling her of the danger, the two
of them reused the others who were
sleeping in the house and led them to
safety.
The three Rhoads children-James,
10; Roy, 8; and Leila, 6-were sleeping
in an adjoining room, which was filed
with smoke Their parents entered
the smoke-flled room and led the chill
dren to safety. Those who were in
the downstairs quarters were not in so
much danger as the fire conferred in
the attic of the house.
By the time the people had been led
from the building, the fire had spread
so rapidly that it was most hazardous
to enter it to attempt to save any of
the furnishings of the homes. An
alarm was sent out and scores of farm
ers hurried to the scene to help fight
the fire. The most that could be done
was to prevent the fire from spreading
to the barn and other outbuildings on
the farm.
The house was burned to the ground.
It was one of the older houses in the
county, having been built many years
ago by "Uncle Billy" Smith, a pioneer
of the county. Later it was known as
the Fred Donsing home and more re-
Gently had been owned by Charles
Johnson, who was occupying the lower
part of the house. 1t was known
throughout the county as house that
had been exceptionally we'll built, haY-
ing large timbers and beams.
The loss will reach into several thou
sand dollars. 1t was estimated that
the house could not be replaced for
$4,000 today although its cost years
ago had been much under that amount.
Only a comparatively small amount Of
insurance was carried on the house.
The loss Of the furniture comes also
as heavy blow to both families.
The fmilies, who were burned out,
were invited to homes of neighbors,
going to the Harmon Smith home only
a short distance away.
The fire appears to have started in
the attic, but it's exact cause is I'M
known.

mr. CHILDTEN RESCUED FROM BURNING FARMHOUSE
What KenOshG
Is Thankful For
By C. M. Osborn
City Manager

Kenosha is very thankful for
the good health and general pros
perity Of the whole community
during the past year. It is very
fitting that we pause for few
moments and enumerate a few of
the outstanding things of our
good community for which we are
thankful.
One of the things that have
brought forcefully to our atten-
ton the good community in which
we live is the winning of the first
prize in the Better Cities Contest.
This contest showed us that our
city has the best health organiza-
tion of any city in the state, that
it has the best library, that it has
the best social welfare organiza-
tion looking after our needy and
unfortunate, that it has the best
city plan, and that it has the best
industries.
The first place in industry was not
given to Kenosha because of the
dividends that the industries are
paying to their stockholders, but
was given because our industries
furnish the best working condi-
tions to the wage Garner, because
the average wage paid to the work
ers is higher than any other city
in the state, and because the So
cial and living conditions of the
wage Garner are the best of any
city in the state.
Kengshs has tbs laA-s plan Of
recreation Of any city in the state.
This recreation plan is one of the
best activities to build up the
morale of our citizens as whole.
And last, but not least, we were
declared by the judges to have the
best public administration of any
city in the state.
The reason for all of this is the
fact that we have the best citizens
and that we are all working to-
gether for the general benefit OF
our good city, and it is aor this
growing spirit of cooperation and
"pull together" spirit that is put
ting Kenosha to the front, and is
one of the things that we as Ke-
nosha citizens should be and are
most thankful for.

FIND HARCQS AND
HOLT NOT GUILTY
Former KenOshan and
Wife and Third Man
Acquitted.
JURY OUT FIVE HOURS

Waukegan, Ill. The Harcqs, Clara
and her husband, Albert, who is a
former Kenosha man, and Arthur
Holt, step-father of Mrs. Harcq, were
set free by jury in Lake county cir
cult court here last night after trial
lasting two weeks on charges of con-
nection with The shooting to death on
September 20 % Mrs. Lille Holt,
mother of Mrs. Harcq and wife of
Holt, in her Fox Lake home. Mrs,
Harcq and Holt were accused as prin-
cipals in the killing and Harcq was
charged as an accessory.
The jury's verdict of not guilty was
read before Judge Claire C. Edwards
at $500 last night, exactly FIVE hours
after the case was given into its hands.
The case involved the first TRIAL of a
woman for murder in Lake county in
more than IL years.
The trial conferred about the dis
puted point of whether the pistol
wounds found in Mrs. Hollis head and
abdomen were self inflicted. The de-
tense contended that she shot herself
after a violent quarre' when Holt and
the Harcqs returned home late after
playing golf and having some drinks
afterward, which had caused Mrs. Holt
to keep dinner waiting. The prose-
cution contended the nature of, the
wounds would not permit the woman
to shoot herself to death.
Holt and Mrs. Harcq testified that
they did not see the actual shooting
as Mrs. Holt had gone into another
room. They told Of hearing the shots
however. Harcq testified that he had
left the house during the early quar-
rel and was not present when the
shooting took place.
While the jurors refused to discuss
the number of ballots taken, it was
learned that just preceding the final
ballot the vote stood eleven to one
for acquittal for Holt and ten to two
for acquittal for Clara. It was evident

BECKMAN CASES
ALL DISMISSED
Judge Slater Hands Down
Decision in Court On
Several Charges.
WILL TAKE APPEAL

Frederick Beckman found the fates
again friendly to him when today in
the municipal court the cases against
him which have been pending since
March, 1924, were dismissed, following
decision by Judge John C. Slater,
the defendants plea in
bar, made by Attorney Roy A. Steph-
enson. Judge Slater himself, however,
suggested to the district attorney in
his, decision that the matter be re-
viewed before the supreme court and
steps will be taken to carry the cases
further.
Beckman's name has been on one
court calendar after another on sew
eral statutory charges in which the
state was plaintiff, following his ac-
quittal by jury of the original sta
tutory charge. A young girl was the
complainant in the case. On the ninth
of January, 1923, she became the moth
err of a child, whose father, she said,
was Frederick Beckman.
A trial was held in the case in the
month of March, 1924, when consid-
cradle interest was evinced in the
case, partly because of the social po-
sition of the defendant, partly be-
cause of the tender age of the COM
planning witness and because of the
story which she told the district at
torney, and again in the courtroom.
According to her story, she was Sc
duced by Beckman while she was in
his employ in his home as nurse
maid for his children. She was then
sixteen years of age. When the child
was born, she told her father the cir
cumstances, and the enraged father

Springfield, Ill. G.. } - Martin
Durkin is in Springfield,
He came in early this morning and
registered at a local hotel. A short
time later he put in long distance
telephone call, for when the switch
board operator caught the names she
became excited and notified the sher-
ifs Office. Two deputies rushed to
the hotel.
Durkin responded when the deputies
knocked on the door of his room. The
visitor said he was Martin Durkin, a

at their man, then at pictures of the
killer and decided their captive was
