Former Manager Of Western Union
Telegraph Company Charged
With EmbezzIement
TO BE IN CHICAGO
Dean Is Charged with Failing TO Ac-
count For Monies Accepted for
the Company While Manager
of the Local Office
(From Saturdays Daily


Justice Of the Peace George B. McCar-
ron this morning issued a warrant for
the arrest of Emmett G. Dean, former
ly manager for the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in this city charging
him with embezzlement and converting
to his own use funds of the Western
Union Telegraph Company to the
amount $l10. Dean is supposed to be
in Chicago and Chief of Police Owen
O'IIare started for Chicago this after
noon to make an effort to locate the
accused man and return him to Keno
sha for trial. 1t is claimed that Dean
is not acquainted with the fact that the
warrant for his arrest has been issued
and that he will return at once to Keno
sha to stand trial on the charges
brought against him. Ike complaint on
which the warrant for the arrest of
Dean was issued was made by John
Fitzpatrick manager of the Chicago dis
trict for the company. Dean came to
KenosEa some time ago to take up the
management of the local office and he
remained here nearly six months when
he was removed and Manager McNal-
ly placed i'll charge Of the office. At
the time there were intimations that
the accounts of Dean were not strictly
to the liking Of the managers, who had
checked him out but at the time it was
stated tha~he had gone to Chicago to
accept another position with the com
pany. In a few days auditors came to
Kenosha and began the work Of check
ing up the books and their report show
ed a shortage III the funds Of the Of
fee. Efforts were made to force Dean
to make good this shortage but the
company was unable to collect the
money from him.
Dean was hale fellow well met and
while in Kenosha he was a favorite
with the men doing business at the Of
fee Of the company and for this rea-
son the report that warrant had been
issued for his arrest this morning
caused considerable surprise. Dean is
married man and has been employed
as an operator for long time. He
formerly was a railway operator and
was taken from that work and brought
to Kenosha to take charge Of the local
office.

MTLLAR FOR ASSESSOR
Well known Real Estate Man Enters
Primary Contest AS Candidate

A little interest was added to politi-
cal affairs this morning when announce
ment was made that James Millar, the
well known real estate man, has de-
cided to be candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for assessor. The
Advisory Committee Of the party at
once prepared petl ons for the nomina-
ton. Mr. Miller is widely known
among the real estate men in the city
and it is expected that be will be a
strong candidate in the primaries.

The farmers institutes will do as
much as any one thing to keep this
state in the front rank and it is rather
a pity that the farmers of this county
do no oftener take advantage Of the op-
portunities offered by the state in this
particular line. The days Of hit or
miss farming have gone by and the
farming that pays the best now is based
on scientific principles and it is some
thing to be proud Of that no state in
the union offers it's farming population
better opportunity to acquire a know
ledge of these principles than our own.

discordant note for philanthropists
who have been promoting the establish
ment Of juvenile courts and special cor
rective systems for jntractable children
comes from the city of Boston, where
hoodlumism is said to be running riot
A police commissioner makes the fol-
lowing assertion as to the influence Of
the juvenile court in the Massachusetts
metropolis:
There is danger, and in a measure
certainly, that the dread Of arrest has
been diminished, and that the boy who
has been at court and returns free and
apparently unframed often takes on
airs of hero rather than the mien of a
penitent, and that his playmates are
as likely to emulate as to avoid his
conduct.
This view of the influence of the
Juvenile court is Numerically opposed
to the opinions of those who have ad-
vocated its establishment in air centers
Of population. It is based upon ex-
perience in police circles, however, and
is therefore worthy of consideration
If the kind treatment that is accorded
youthful offenders tends to allay dread
Of arrest, it is clear that more dis,rimi-
nation must hereafter be displayed in
netting punishment to young offenders.

1t would not greatly surprise many
people who are somewhat familiar with
railway operation to find that the rail
way managers were secretly pleased
with the operation of the two cent fare
law SO far. It has enabled them to
absolutely cut off all free transporta-
ton, to turn down applications from
societies for low rates, and in many
ways has given them the excuse they
needed to do away with many abuses
in the operation of the passenger de
partment which have crept in from time
to time and which it would have been
very difficult for the roads to have
abolished on their own responsibility.
The rate may have been hardship on
the newer and smaller roads but it has
undoubtedly enabled the big trunk
lines to put their passenger business
on much more satisfactory basis than
it has been in some time.

Some of the aldermen are said to be
opposed to ordering new registration
of voters on account Of the expense
and others for the reason that they have
been led to believe that a new regis
tration would hurt their party S chances
of success at the polls, but however that
may be, there is no installing the fact
that there is very strong feeling all
over the city among the members Of
all parties in favor of taking another
registration before the coming munich
pal election. Recent Investigation shows
that there have been so many changes
in the city in the last few months that
the present lists are entirely worthless
for the purpose of checking up the
voters and that if any attempt is to be
made to keep track of the votes cast
at the coming electiorA what amounts
to practically a complete registration
will have to be made by the workers Of
each party. AS the campaign promises
to be warm one, many of the leaders
of all parties who favor fair play and
honest elections believe that it would
be cheaper in the long run to have a
regular registration made by the city
from which all could check up and they
may be able to impress their views on
the council. It is possible though
that some Of the men who are said to
favor the new registration now will not
be for II when they learn that it can
not be made in time to prevent fraudG
lent voting at the primaries.

HOLD - LITTLE GIRL
Masked Man Assaults Anna Nelson
With Intent tc Rob

The most dastardly Of long line Of
holdups in Kenosha took place between
eight and nine clock Wednesday even
ing at the corner of Deming and Elk
change streets when Anna Nelson ff-
teen year old girl was held up by two
masked men. Fortunately the little
girl escaped from the men without be-
ing robbed but her escape was due who'll
ly to the arrival of pedestrians. The
two men managed to escape. The Mel
son girl who is very small for her age
is employed as domestic in the south
part of the city and she had started
to go to her home on Park street Just
after eight O'Clock. She saw one Of
the men as she turned the corner but
she had made The trip many times and
did not fear anything. She started to
walk across the street when the other
man stepped out from behind a tree
and caught her by the arm at the same
time demanding that she give him what
money she had. The girl started to
scream and the man placed his hand
over her mouth and reached in his
pocket and pulled out gag. At this
time it happened that man and a
woman came along on the sidewalk near
the scene Of the assault and the Nelson
girl made one more effort to scream.
With this the men started to run. The
chi1d's arm was terribly bruised by
the men. The case was reported to the
police this afternoon but they have no
clue to the identity of the men.

The man bred in the country who has
been forced out Of his place in the city
by labor conditions cannot do better
than to go back to the farm. A little
knowledge of farming may mean the
difference between steady job with
good pay and nothing to do to a good
many men just now and it is a rather
remarkable development that SO few
men can be found for the farms even in
these hard times and that the demands
for farm help at all of the labor bureaus
still exceed the supply.

Charles GilIotti, Emanuel CappeIIo
and Joseph Catuso Must Go
to Prison for Robbery
JURY FINDS GUILT EARLY
Decide That Men Should Be Held Guilty
of Second Count in Information
May be Sent Up From
One To Seven Years

CHARLES t1illotti, Emanuel Cappello
and Joseph Gatuso must go to prison
for robbing Nicola Sacchi, as the final
chapter of the long trial was written
in the Circuit court this morning when
the jury which heard the evidence in
the case returned a sealed verdict find
ing the three men guilty under the
second count in the information. This
count charged them with having robbed
Sacchi after having assaulted him and
put him in fear. Under the verdict Of
the jury the men may be sent to prison
for term of from one to seven years
The attorneys for the defendants at
once announced that they would make
motion for q new trial and as the elliot
ii family is one Of the wealthy italian
families Of the city it is understood that
an effort will be made to have the guilt
Of the men passed on by the Supreme
Court. The attorneys are ready to ask
for the release of Gillotti on bond pend
ing the argument of the motion for
new trial and it is understood that the
District Attorney will demand very
high bond if any release is granted.
The bringing in of the verdict called
large crowd Of people to the court
house and the jurors were forced to wait
quite time for the arrival of Gillotti.
While waiting for the verdict which was
not returned in proper form at the
opening Of the court, Gillotti and his
two companions sat laughing and talk
ing and it was evident that they were
hopeful Of an acquittal. The Court in
sisted on q poll Of the jurors and each
man answered that it was his verdict
1t seems that Catuso was the salvation
Of the other men for had it not been for
this boy the jurors would have probably
have found the men guilty under the
frs count in the information and I'M
der this count they could have been
given a much longer sentence The
fact of the guilt of the men is said to
have been established on the second
ballot in the jury room and the delay
in reaching the verdict was caused by
the fact that the jurors could not agree
on which count the men should be found
guilty. On the first ballot nine jurors
were said to have favored the second
count while the others favored the first
count. The verdict was reached just
after supper last night and after the
verdict had been sealed the jurors left
for their homes to spend the night.
The verdict was said to be satisfac-
tory by District Attorney Baker and At
tornay Calvin Stewart who represented
the defendants as counsel stated that
he was not surprised at the finding of
the court. In the italian colony the
verdict was received with varying emo
tions. Some of the Italians stated that
the verdict was an outrage while others
seemed to take great deal Of satisfac-
ton in it. No date has been set for
the sentencing Of the men but it is ex-
pected that it will come up in Circuit
Court next Monday morning

The Social Democrats have put full
cipal campaign but the size Of the ref
erendum vote on the nominations does
not indicate that the party will cut
much of a figure at the election. How
ever the Social Democrats have more
than once furnished a surprise for the
leaders of the older parties and if they
mean business this time they may up
set all present calculations on the size
of their vote although the last two
elections would seem to indicate that
the voters of that party, in Kenosha at
least, are gradually drifting back to
their old affiliations.
