Salvador Grayano and Salvador
PHO, Winthrop Harbor Muir
derers, Found Guilty
BALkS ON DEATH PENALTY
Men Put in No Evidence to Show Their
Innocence and Had Expected to
Receive the Death Penalty
for Their Awful Crime

In the circuit court at Waukegan
this afternoon Judge Wright, acting
judge of the circuit, sentenced Sal
vatore Gravano and Salvatore PHO to
the Illinois state penitentiary at Joliet
for the term of their natural lives.
The men go to the penitentiary to
pay the penalty for murder in the
first degree, they having been found
guilty of numbering three of their
countrymen at Winthrop Harbor last
November. The men will be taken to
the penitentiary tomorrow to begin
their long sentence. The third mem
Der of the bandit gang, who escaped
the officers, is supposed to be in Italy,
but it is thought that he will be
brought back and forced to stand trial
on similar charge.
The trial of the Italians was one of
the shortest in the history of the
courts in this part of the country.
The men we're first arraigned on the
charge on Wednesday and a jury was
secured in few minutes. The evil
dence of the state was convincing and
showed that the three men had gone
to Winthrop Harbor for the purpose of
numbering their countrymen. The
two defendants covered lin court
closely guarded by deputy sheriff,
and after'the testimony had been pre-
sented thesattorneys who had been APP
pointed by the court to represent the
men announced that they would pre-
sent no evidence. The case was given
to the jury at O'Clock Wednesday
evening and sealed verdict was re-
turned atsmidnight.
The Italians had been in state of
terror for many weeks, as they had
been givens to UNDERSTANDINGS they
would receive the extreme penalty of
the law, and there was great reioic-
ing among their re1atives,when it was
discovered that they had been given a
life sentence.
The crime was one of the most re-
voting in the criminal history of the
north shore. The three men had been
formerly employed on the North
Western tracks just over the state
line in Lake county. They had been
discharged, and on the evening of the
murder they came out from Chicago
and seemed to be perfectly friendly
with the men who were afterwards
their victims. The men atethe car en-
tertc ined the murderers at supper and
then asked them to remain for the
night. 1t is claimed that the crime
had been carefu1lygplanned and short
1y after midnight, at thessigna1 from
the leader of the gang, the three men
left their beds and.began shooting the
other inmates of the car. Two of the
men were instantly ki11ed,s while a
third was so badly wounded that he
died on the following day. The men
were arrested as result offefforts of

KENosHA has the reputation Of be-
ing a progressive, up-to-date city and
the result of the primaries. shows that
the people of the city are abreast OF
the spirit of the times IN demanding
clean men for Office. The day of the
gang is passing. Voters are begin
ming to pick and choose in municipal
elections with less regard for party
and with closer scrutiny of candidates
and their records. The people do not
always take the trouble to interest
themselves, but when they do it is
time for men whose records will not
stand inspection to go to cover in a
hurry. 1t is amazing sometimes to
see how much the voters will stand,
but when they do wake up things are
Strengthened out in short order. It is
a pity that there is no power on earth
that can make them attend to business
all the time just as the professional
politicians do.

THE officials of the insurance COM
panies are more than half right in
their contention that most Of the evils
complained of IN their business have
crept in because of the lax administra-
ton Of the laws now on the statute
books, and that the commissioners of
insurance of the various states who
are now c1amoring for further 1egisla-
ton could do good deal more than
they have so far with the laws already
on the books. Insurance reform must
be accomplished by easy stages. Nc
one law is going to accomplish the
results aimed at and IN a matter OF
such vast Importance it is better to
make haste slowly, using and develop,
ing the laws already in force, rather
than to attempt to rush the work by
passing drastic1and possibly illcon-
sidered laws which may do incalcu1a.

MEN AND TRUE
Nominees Of Republican Party
for School Commissioners
Worthy Of Support
IMPORTANCE OF GOOD MEN

There is no part Of the Republican
ticket stronger than the list of men
who have been nominated for the
Office of school commissioner in the
different wards. The schools of the
city form the most important depart
ment of the city government. The
schools are expanding every year
more than fifty thousand dollars of
the peoples money, and all of this
money is expended under the direction
of the BoardNof Education. It is most
important that men should be elected
to the board who will itake good care
of the business of the people.
In the First ward the Republicans
have nominated as school commits
sioner Charles H. Pfennig. Mr..
Pfennig was formerly mayor of the
city and his official recordlwas such as
to assure the people that he will make
splendid man in the office Of school
commissioner. He is a graduate of
the Kenosha High school and has al
ways taken the greatest interest in
the affairs of the city schools.
In the Second ward Edward c..
Theirs, the present president of the
board, is a candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Theirs is one of the best men ever
elected to the board and he will un-
doubted1y be returned to Office.
Frank Fon1ke, the candidate for
the Office in the Third ward, is now
member of the board. He is one of
the members who are always in their
place and who are always on the side
of the people. Mr.. Fou1ke has clear
record as a member of the board.
In the Fourth ward honest Jim Lar
sen is candidate for reelection Mr..
Larsen has served on the board for
two terms and is certainly worthy of
reelection. He is careful, pains
taking official and is always at work
for the interests of the people. No
man on the board is more closely in
touch with the school system of the
city.
William T. Marx, one Of the best
known young men Of the city, is the
candidate in the Sixth ward. Mr..
Marx was formerly a member of the
board and made an excellent official.
Henry Bonn, the candidate in the
Eight ward, is one of the best known
residents of the ward. He is popular
and has good chance of election.

Carl A. O1esen and Louis Sorren-
sen, doing business in Kenosha under
the firm name of O1esen & Sorrensen,
filed separate petitions in bankruptcy
in the UnitedaStates court at Mi1Wau-
kee on 1Thursday. Sorrensen states
that histdebtss amount to $4,873, while
O1esen schedules debts to the amount
of $4,373. The assets of the company
are placedaat $7,275.67. The time for

of settling the partnership between
the two men, butsitysis hardly possible
that the creditors will realize the full
amount of the claims.

differences, however, are alleged to
have caused trouble between the men
and twoa weeks ago the store was

had been made to reopen the store.
Both of the men returned to Racine
and made occasional visits to Keno

In the meantime the creditors be-
gan to get worried over debts due
to them, and the former partners
were urged tosfind some way for the
settlement of the differences. AS a
result of these demands, the two men
decided to file separate petitions in
bankruptcy. 1t will take some time
to adjust the financial troubles of the
men.

City Clerk Harrington Asked to Aid in

City Clerk Harrington Asked to Aid in
Locating Big Industry Here
City Clerk Harrington this morning
received letter from the Chicago
Industrial Bureau, asking that the
clerk present to the common council
a plan for the location of a large
factory in Kenosha. It is stated in
the letter that the company is engaged
in the manufacture of automobiles,
and that the company is planning to
spend half a million dollars in the
erection of the plant, and that as
soon as the business is under way, the
plant will give employment to at least
a thousand men. The company asks
that the city present it with at Least
fifty acres of land and other conces-
sions will be appre ciated.
It is thought that the company in
question is the Four Wheel Drive
Wagon company of Milwaukee, which
recently had an agent in Kenosha
seeking location for the company.
At that time the company wanted a
hundred acres of land and bonus of
at least $4,000.

THE present council should take no
action on the pending franchises. BY
all means let the ordinances rest Just
where they are until the new council
comes in. Coming directly from the
people, the new aldermen will be bet
ter able to judge just what the senti-
ments of their constituents are on
these matters which directly affect the
welfare of the whole city, and it
should be left to them to decide.
Furthermore, let it be distinctly I'M
derstood that the representatives. Of
the various street railway companies
now seeking favors from the city are
NOT invited to take part in this cam
Paign. Let them keep hands off. The
people Of Kenosna are competent to
attend to their own business without
any help from outsiders, and any at
tempt of the street car men to boost
this or that candidate is,going to hurt
his chances of election.

THE consular reform bill is good as
far asst goes, but it does not go far
enough. The business men of this
nation need perfectly trained and
equipped staff of consuls to look after
their interests abroad, and they will
never get one until the merit system
of appointment and promotion is es-
tab1ished in the consular service. If
Secretary Root eventually succeeds in
carrying out his reform ideas in re-
gard to this branch of the public SER
vice it will be justly regarded as one
of the greatest acts of the Roosevelt

clean a bunch of candidates this

and if they are not all elected it will
be because the party workers are too
sure that they will be. Already too
many Republicans regard the

and the one thing that must be
guarded against is overconfdence.
One of the Democratic candidates has
just shown what car be accom- plished

wake up the morning after the election
to find that they have let another

ga Sacrament of the Night" Attracts
Wide Attention Among Kenoshans
Miss Madge G. Jenison, a former
teacher of the high school, has gained
new fame on account of her last
story which is published in the con-
temporary number of Harper's maya
zine. The story which bears the
title GA Sacrament of the Night, is
a charming little romance touching
the settlement work so close to the
heart of the former Kenosha teacher.
This is the third of the series of
stories by Miss Jenison and it is
understood that in a short time they
will be issued in an attractive volume
from the Harper press.
Miss Jenison is still engaged in
teaching, but it is stated that she will
give up this work at the end of the
year in order to devote all of her time
to literary work.

proved to be one of the coolest nights
of the year in Kenosha and Turnkey
Leinenweber of the county jail had
the busiest night he had ever ex-
perienced as the clerk of the
county hosiery. 1t seems that the
army of tramps depending on the
almanac for the coming of warm
weather had started their annual
flight to the North. They reached
Kenosha just about the time the cold
wave blew in and with the wind blow
ing gale from the northwest the men
scurried for shelter. Early in the
evening the tramp room at the jail
was filled but this did not put an end
to the men coming. In fact they
stormed the county bastile during
the entire night and would have
kicked in the door. Several of them
were half frozen. Towards morning
the number of tramps had passed the
twenty mark and some of them we're
permitted to sleep IN the sheriff S
Office, there being no further room in
the regular apartment held for the
tramps.

Of justice of the peace. Gi1lett is
something of hardy annual in the
candidate line and he usually man
ages to get on the ticket. It is thought
that the candidacy of Gi11ett will
have the effect of aiding the Republi-

as candidate is signed by many we'll
