afternoon by Assistant Chief of Police Joseph Newhouse on charges of shoplifting it being charged that the woman had taken more than $50 worth of silk and tissue gingham from the stores of A Kubec and the and Gottlieb company Mrs Clark was defiant when arrested declaring that the officials could not prove the charges against her but at the jail this morning she declared that she had made a mistake and intimated that she would admit her wroug doing As the value of the property taken from the Gottlieb store alone was in advance of $45 it is certain that charges of grand larceny will be preferred against the woman and on conviction under this charge she could be given a term i the state prison Mrs Clark has resided in Kenosha for several years and fier arrest caused something of a sensation among shoppers in the big Gottlieb store on Monday The proprietor of the Kubec store did not know of the shoplifting until after the woman had been nabbed at the other store Mrs Clark came into the Gottlieb store just before four She was wearing a long winter Coat and she stopped at a counter where a number of valuable silk remnants were prominently displayed At the time most of the salesladies in the store were busy and none of -them paid a great deal of attention to the woman She is alleged to have picked up a bolt containing 53 yards of silk valued at 85 cents a yard and concealing it under her coat she waited for the girl in charge of the counter to w'ait on her The actions of the woman caused the young woman to become suspicious and she watched her closely when she left the store without making a purchase Just as Mrs Clark went out of the door the bolt of silk is alleged to have slipped out She carefully replaced it and then one of the men of the store went out the side uoor and ran around and intercepted her The woman at first denied any connection with the silk declaring that she had picked it up on the side walk where it had been dropped Lat er the bolt of goods taken at the Kfibee store w'as pulled from under the coat and she declared that she had purchased this at the store of Moiitor The men at the store knowing that it was not wrapped in the paper used by the Moiitor store at once summoned salesmen from the Kubec store who identified the goods as those taken from that store Mrs Clark was taken to the county jail without undue publicity and later in the evening the police secured a search warrant and w'ent to her homo where several other pieces of goods were found None of these has as yet been identified Mrs Clark formerly lived in the town of Bristol and she came to this city some three years ago It is admitted that the store men of the city had kept a watch on her for some time but she is not charged with any other offenses The annual meeting of the Kenosha County Board of Assessment was held at the court house this morning and assessors from every town in the county and the three assessors from the city were present at the meeting The meeting was preliminary to the starting of the w'ork of making the annttal assessment on next Monday morning County Supervisor of Assessments Joseph A Dalton was the principal speaker at the convention Mr Dalton spoke of the fact that the assessors were called into convention for the purpose of exchanging ideas as to the best manner of listing the real and personal property of the city and county He stated that the reports of the state tax commission showed Kenosha county to be one of the best assessed counties in the state but that there w'as still room for improvement He read to the assessors the rules made out by the state commission and declared that it was his desire to see an equal assessment returned throughout the county and in the city He spoke of the necessity of the assessors making the strictest possible efforts to list monies and credits and the care thut should be taken in the assessment of li stock and other personal property and spoke at length on the assessment of merchants and stock lie declared that what should be sought by every assessor was to make the assessment equitable not only among the people of the various towns but among the people of all the towns and the city so that the burden of taxation would he divided on" the rule of equity He spoke of the best methods to be followed in reaching assessments of personal property and real estate and congratulated the assessors on the showing they had made in the past There were some spirited discussions between the assessors from the various towns George McKesson the new assessor for the town of Randall insisted that there should be something done to make the assessments In other towns as equitable as they were in the town of Randall He declared that Randall had been returning nearly a true value assessment for several years nd that this same standard was not being met in the other towns Mr McKesson did not intimate that the assessors had been wrong in bringing Randall up to the light standard but he insisted that this standard should be maintained for the other towns and for the city as well The work of making the assessment in the towns and in the city should be started on next Monday morning hut as yet the new assessment rolls have not been sent out from the state tax commission and it is probable that the work in the county will be delayed for several weeks on account of this failure of the state department The Kenosha assessors will have a great deal of office work to do before the field work starts and this will keep them busy for nearly a month The assessments are to be returned by the first Monday in August and before that lime the regular meetings of the board of review are to be started The people of the city are to be advised this year that they must make complaints on assessments to the board of review as the new committee on taxes of the council will not recognize complaints for rebates next year Measure Provides Penalty for Tampering With or Injuring Machines Automobile omens of this city and county were pleased to learn this morning that the assembly and judiciary committee of the legislature recommended the passage of the bill introduced by Senator Bishop which provides a penalty for persons convicted of tampering with injuring or defacing an automobile or other motor vehicle The bill has been passed by the senate and there is little doubt hgrit will receive favorable consideration in the lower house The measure is an amendment to the present law which prohibits the willful breaking or injuring of engines loeomotivesr railway cars and street cars Motor car drivers are especially interested in the bill as it provides them protection against lawless meddlers or sneak thieves when they leave their cars Standing Claiming that he had been robbed of a thousand dollars in cash and that he had been refused the proper assistance fio recover his money by the officials of Kenosha cerfmty George Teney one of the members of the war: ring tribes of gypsies in camp west of Kenosha Sunday left for Madison this morning to interview the governor of the state and demand some action on the part of the state to secure the return of his money The Kenosha officials emphatically denying all claims made by the gypsy did all in their power to speed the parting guest and they are anxious to have the state act in the matter if Governor McGovern can find a cause for action Icney did not appeal to the state authorities until after he had laid his case before several attorneys in Kenosha and all of them after an investigation were verv much in doubt as to whether Teney had been robbed at all The relatives of Teney claimed that he was falsifying in regard to the amount of money he had and the officials assert that even the mother of the man admitted that he was mistaken in regard to the money All of this develbped after the sheriff and chief of police had gone out to the camp late Monday afternoon and had directed the gypsies to move Previous to this time a dozen men and Women who had been jail ed as a result of the murderous assaults of the night before were released and the only one remaining at the jail was George Corking who was badly hurt but who with his wife left to join the cavalcade this morning The gypsies fought the ejectment order but the teuts were pulled down by the officers and' loaded on the wagons and one bunch was sent north and the other south However early this morning members of both of the tribes were about Kenosha seeking to employ attorneys and to fight the members of the rival organizations The old patriarchs of the two tribes took a sensible view of the matter and decamped and the returning gypsies were all of the younger generation Teney and his brother the latter badly wounded as a result of the fight on Sunday tnight and Monday morning made the round of offices seeking some one to take his robbery case The other men simply argued on general Some of them wrent so far as to declare that they had been robbed by the officials of the city and county but every cent taken from them at the time of their arrest was turned back to them Teney showed the officials a great collection of money He had gold pieces from a half a dozen different countries and as near as the officials and attorneys could estimate his hoard consisted of about $900 He claimed that he had been beaten by members of the rival tribe and $500 taken from him and that later they demanded another $500 which they took by force The woman of the declared that Teney had all the money he ever had and that the accusations simply the result of the fights between the two gangs on Monday evening The officials are determined to get the gypsies out of this county even if they have to be driven out at the point of revolvers and deputy sheriffs all along the line have been ordered to keep the wagons moving If the men insist on returning to Kenosha county they will be arrested and charged with serious crimes in connection w-ith the rioting on Sunday night and Monday Police to Aid in Collection of Milk Licenses in the City The milk licenses under the city ordinance must be paid by the first day of May but up to this morning' not a single one of the dealers had made an application for a license The city clerk has been instructed by the council to collect licenses of every man in the retail milk trade in the city and he will have the full force of the police department behind him in this effort to collect If the licenses are not paid for before the first of May the names of all the offending milk dealers will be secured and they w'ill be promptly arrested and prosecuted under the ordinance For sev eral years the milk men have shown a willingness to overlook the payment of this fee to the city but this year the effort to collect is to be made one that w'ill bring results The licenses are issued in order to give the health department a chance to keep tab on the dealers dent pi the state organization Tho other officers chosen were: Vice President Mrs Arthur Green-man of Milwaukee Secretary Mrs Ella Bresee of Madison Treasurer rs Ix Richardson of Milwaukee Director Mrs Harry Skinkle of Kenosha Following the business session the members 5f the Kenosha Alliance entertained at a luncheon in the parlors of the church at which covers were laid for one hundred The tables were charmingly arranged and decorated After dinner Mrs Horace A Uphaitt-of Milwaukee -was introduced as toast-mistreSs The Rev Newton Mann acting pastor of the Henry Simmons church welcomed the ladies to Kenosha on behalf of the Kenosha Alliance Mrs Emma Delano of Chicago responded to the toast and Mrs Richardson spoke from the topic Opportunity of the Woman Alliance in Mrs Mary Bradford of Kenosha responded to the toast Opportunity of the Woman Alliance in Civie Affairs At the literary meeting held at three-o this afternoon there was a musical program under the direction of Mrs Richard Welles at which Harry II Hill of Kenosha sang three solos Following Miss Perdita Dewey read the famous suffragette play How the Vote was This ended with the call for the police officers in which the members of the Kenosha police force played the part of furnishing the surprise for the delegates to the meeting The meeting was one of the most successful ever held by the state organization and the members of the Kenosha Afiianee were warmly complimented for the splendid entertainment provided for the large company of delegates The delegates representing the various cities included Mrs A MeLene-gan of Milwaukee Mrs Gilmore of Madison Miss Mattie French of Kenosha and Mrs Emma Delano of Chicago INSANE FROM GRIEF said the committee has instfttc-ed the ehief of police to see to it that the regulations of the city in regard to saloons are lived up to to the very letter and it is the order of the committee that no partiality be shown in taking care of the saloons We know that every man in the business has paid the city $500 for the right to conduct a saloon and we believe that every man should have the same chance Equality is the one rule of the committee and we do not believe that one man should keep his place open all night and others dose up promptly at the hour set by the regulations We have also put a limit pf eleven on Sunday night dances and we have ordered the men owning these dance halls to use string music for these dances instead of brass bandsj If these orders are not complied with the members of the license committee will do all in their power to see to it that the Sunday night dances are cut out entirely We do not desire to interfere with the pleas ure of any of these foreign people but we believe that there should be a liipit for Sunday We are going to keep young girls out the dance hails if any regulations that we can throw about them will accomplish this purpose The members of the license committee have begun a tour to the different saloons of the city with a view of learning from first hand how the places are being run before the recommendations for new licenses are made and the members are a unit in the declaration that licenses will not be recommended for saloon men who constantly violate the regulations This may strike some saloons which have the favor of officials but the committee declares that it will follow the line closely Last year Alderman Saftig was the head of the same committee and he refused to recommend liceitses for three of the dealers on' the grounds that they had not complied with the law in takiug out second papers In addition to this he reprimanded several of the men in the retail liquor trade While some of the saloon men do not regard the orders of the committee as carrying any weight the majority of them are inclined to follow the orders and it is not improbable that the committee itsself will demand the arrest of offenders who claim the protection of the higher and decline fo close their places at reasonable hours It is beginning to look as if the battle for regulation is on in earnest TO REFURNISH OLD BUILDING Theo Hollenkamp of New Munster Sent to State Institution Monday Theodore Hollenkamp aged 46 years a well known retired farmer of the town of Wheatland was adjudicated insane in the municipal court by Judge Randall on Monday afternoon and committed to the state hospital for the insane at Mendota Hollenkamp is the father of seven children and it is said that his condition is largely due to his grieving over the death of his wife which occurred nearly two years ago Hollenkanip refused to be comforted and since that time his friends have noticed a mental failing During the past few days his condition had become such that his relatives decided that it would be necessary to have him confined in the state institution Bids are Received for Refurnishing of the Municipal Court Building Now that the city has vacated the old county building County Agent Jones is planning to fit it up so as to make it a suitable home for the municipal court that is to make it as near suitable as possible The room formerly occupied by the city clerk will be converted into a special office for the use of Judge Randall The big room at the rear of the building will be subjected to a few changes and it is probable that when the work is completed it will make a much more com fortable court room The cost of re furnishing the building will probably be in the neighborhood of $800 DIED IN CHICAGO of Kenosha Died Short Illness NOTICE A It has been found necessary to change the
