Judge Belden Declines 10 Save
GillOtti, CappeIlO and CatusO
From Going to Prison
PUTS lTUP TO HIGHER COURT
Three Convicted Italians May Be Taken
to Waupun On Monday AS the
Court VIII Not Interfere In
Their Behalf by Placing Bail
lFrom saturaay.s paily.l


Charley Gillotti may be forced to 90
with his companions Emanuel Capped
10 and Joe Catuso, to the state prison
pending the review of their trial ON
charged Of robbery in the Supreme
Court, as this morning Judge Belden
notified Sheriff Pfennig that he mad
declined to fix the bail for the release
Of the men and if the men are to be re-
leased pending the appeal Of the case
to the Supreme Court on a writ of en-
Iror the Supreme Court must fix the
amount of bail to be demanded for the
release of the men, At the same time
the court gave its ruling In regard to
the bail Frank Waldo clerk of the Cir
cult Court, delivered to the sheriff the
commitments for the delivery of the
men to the officials Of the state prison.
The men were not taken to Waupun
this morning and the Judge notified the
sheriff that he had no objections to his
holding them in jail here until Tuesday
OF next week if it would be any ac-
cdmmodation to the defendants. How
lever, the sheriff is not In any way bound
by this action on the part Of the Judge
and the men may be taken to WauDun
early Monday morning and started on
their five years service LIZ the men
once reach the prison it is thought that
it will be a difficult matter to secure
their release.
The papers in the case have not as
yet been made up and forwarded to the
Supreme Court and it is Just possible
that it viii be impossible for 6he clerk
to get these papers ready by Tuesday
and in that event it. is pretty certain
that the Italians will be taken to Wau-
pun The attorneys for the defen-
dants had expected the court to fix the
bail for Gilotti if not for the other
two men as it was known that Gillotti
was prepared to give any reasonable
bail Judge Belden may take the mat
ter up On Tuesday but it is not thought
hat he viii reverse his I'D
place the amount of the bail.
/ When the case was concluded last
week it was taken as q certainly that
Gillotti would not 60 to prison until
the Supreme Court had reviewed the
case, but the friends of GilIotti are now
very anxious over the matter and they
fear that he VIII be forced to wear pr
son stripes for time regardless of the
action of his attorneys.
It is not known what the Supreme
Court would do in regard to the fixing
of Jail for the men, but it is pretty
certain that it would not fix it any
lower than it was during the trial of the
men in the Circuit Court. At that time
the bail for Gillotti was $4,000 while
the other two men were held under the
higher bail of $4,000. The officials at
the Green Bay Reformatory may come
for Catuso at any time, as they have
been notified Of his sentence to the
institution and that he is held here
awaiting their pleasure,

.BJILO NEW B0ATS
Vessel Men Do Not Fear Hard
Tines at the Opening of the
Season OF Navigation
LARGE FLEET ON DOCKS

From the number of new boats that
are being constructed ready for the
opening Of the season of navigation of
1908 it does not appear that vessel
owners are at all alarmed over the
prospects for a poor year.
To meet the expected increase in
traffic this year, feet of thirty new
boats will be dropped into the water.
Their aggregate carrying capacity will
be 204,700 tons and their total cost
will be $9,750,000. This list does not
include the magnificent new passenger
boat 5he City of Cleveland, which was
burned last spring and which has been
rebuilt ready for the present season at
a cost of $l,00O,000.
The new feet of boats for the great
lakes will comprise twenty-six new
freighters, two package freighters and
with these boats are the two monsters
being built for a Duluth Company each
of which belongs to the 10000 ton
class Each is 557 feet long, with a 50
feet beam and a depth of 81 feet.
Besides these, there will be four yes
sells with a capacity of 10000 tons.
eight of 5000 tons, one of $500 tons.
five Of 5000 ions, three of 1900 tons.
The others will have capacity of from
1000 to 1920 tons. Taking it for
granted that each of these new boats
will make twenty trips during the sea
son, the new boats will add 4,094.000
tons to the total carrying capacity Of
the fleet on the lakes. When all Of
them are in commission it will make a
feet Of 265 vessels which has been built
since 1902, the entire carrying capacity
Of which is 1867 200 tons.
The average cost each of the new
boats new building is 1925, 900. The low
est cost of any one of them is $3.50 600
and the highest is $4,000. Adding
the total to the valuation Of the boats
now in service on the lakes and ii
brings the total valuation Of the Great
lakes fleet up to $140,7z2. $50.

kenosha Retail Liquor Men Give
Out Statement Made by a
Michigan Newspaper
CoMBATS PROHIBITION WAVE
Saloon Men Seek TO Show People That
All Claims Of Prohibitionists
Are Not Properly Backed
Up By Facts

The following article is submitted by
the Retail Liquor Dealers Of Kenosha
and Is taken from the ST. Joseph, Mo-,
Observer.
The prohibition wave is now at its
heighth in Missouri and many counties
have in the past few weeks gone dry
while at the same time some have not
listened to the popular clanor and have
refused to be swept off their feet by the
wave. This state is now filed with
orators and workers in the cause of pro
hibltion and they are doing battle for
those who employ them. In this con
.nection it might be stated that the
state Of Michigan is just now il the
midst Of q scandal over the workings
of the anti-saloon league Of that state
and Truth, a religious paper at Detroit,
has been conducting an Investigation
This investigation of the Michigan an
ti-saloon league was started by Truth
several months ago and that paper is
now prepared to prove ia court if neces-
sary that the anti-saloon league in that
state is aothing more or less than a
gigantic graft, wherein the superinten-
dents, travelling representatives and en-
ployes in general pocket the receipts
of the league, contributed by the good
and jealous Christian people of that
state, for what they call "reform
work. {" The Truth says:
81 The men at The head Of the Michi-
gar Anti-Saloon League, who are re-
sponsible to the public for its deeds and
for the funds 50 generously poured into
it's Golfers by the public, are men Of
prominence in the state. 1T ID owing to
their well known reputation for homes
ty that the Christian people of the
state are led to contribute So generous
~ to the league Is support And yet,
it is fact that these men do not handle
one cent of the receipts or have any
thing whatever to do with the manage
ment of the league further than to
meet~once a year, audit the books and
request the resignation Of the state
superintendent for misrepresentation Of
the funds Of the league, as they have
been forced to do for several years
past.

Were All Pocketing

At the last annual convention held
q year ago, the board of trustees found
that the solicitors and collectors for the
league were apFropriatirg the funds to
their own use; that the district super
intendents were doing the same and
that the state superintendent was
pocketing whatever money came into
his hands His resignation was de-
manded, and Rev I'll b. Bissell of
Lansing was offered the position. Bis
sell is an honest man, and informed the
board that the only way in which he
would accept the position would be on
] q business basis, where all of the col
lectors, solicitors and district superin-
itendents should be compelled to turn
all funds into the general treasury and
to be paid by checks after their bills
were audited by the state superinten-
dent.
Each employee of the league was
promptly notified that further with
holding Of funds from the general
treasurer would mean dismissal.
With this understanding Doctor
Bissell resigned the pastorate Of a
Lansing church and took Up the work
Of the league Ere a month had pass
cd he found that the board of trustees
and officers of the league were mere
figure heads; that the district superin-
tendents, travelling solicitors and collec-
tors, were the league proper, and that
he as state superintendent, was ignored
by them all
Doctor Bissell made a strenuous eff
fort to bring order out of chaos. His
reputation and star ding as clergyman
and Christian Gentleman was at
stake. That he failed to secure any
/ control over the small army of ex-
] preachers, x-professors and grafters
who were treyehng the state as duly
! accredited representatives of the Anti
Saloon League, collecting and spending
money at their pleasure, making no re-
turn to the treasurer or state superin-
tendent, was no fault of his.

John Worth Kern

A great outfowing of people greeted yesterday John Worth Kern, demo- cratic candidate for vice president, at the Jefferson theatre in this city. MT. Kern advocated individual liberty and popular rule, and the answers of the people to his eloquent sentences came in rounds of applause. His speech had a marked effect, and every one of his hearers went away feeling that the democratic ticket should be and prob ably would be elected.
 Alabama is not contested state, but a speech now and then by speaker of excellent equipment is long remem- bered. MT. Kern is such a man. and his clear, ringing voice was heard in every part of the theatre. It was packed from top to bottom, and every person present left the building a warm admirer of the vice presidential candidate.

PoIitias and Prosperity.

"One of the reasons that many busi- ness men have advanced why they would rather the republicans continue in power than try MT. Bryan is that Taft's cleo tion would assure prosperity, while a Bryan victory would check business re- vival," said an old democrat. People who talk that way should be reminded of hte period of depression leading up to Cleveland's first election and of the prosperity that followed his inauguration.
 Those of US who have been in business for 30 years recall the hard times of 1888 and 1884. The republicans had been in power ever since the war, but there was never worse industrial paralysis than that of 1884. The number of wage workers out of employment in that year reached the limit. The country was full of tramps and many worthy working men were at the point of starvation. Thous- ands of voters who had been republicans said that conditions could not be worse; ; they might be better if Cleveland were elected. The democratic President had hardly taken his seat when business be- gan to revive and when the wheels of industry began to turn again. We had great boom Maybe business would have improved if Blaine had been elected cratic administration was accompanied by high degree of business prosperity.
 "If the democrats should be victorious next month business conditions that are already improving will continue to im- proyen

Birmingham'S First Library

The opening of the Carnegie library at Avondale gives Greater Birmingham its first free circulating library. The lack of such libraries in this city is the weak link in our public chain. We have hospitals and fine schools, and nearly all else that goes to make a city. but up to the opening of the Avondale library we had no place accessible to the people in which books for home reading are loaned without money and without price.
 Avondale has been enterprising and far-sighted, and it leads the way Other portions of Greater Birmingham need free libraries, the central district the most of all. A free public library, an art gallery even of modest proportions, and zoo to please the children are all lacking, but the deficiency that is most striking is free public library. The year 1909 will no doubt see at least a start made to pull this city up to the modern level so far as free books are concerned.

Millions In the South Unused

No waste in this state of noble streams is so great as that of unutil- ized water powers. We have 100000 horsepower going to waste constantly, and yet in this electrical age nothing is more desirable, more sought after than water power. A fair rental per horsepower is $2O year, and with that fact before him the reader can readily estimate what the chief river state or the union is annually losing because it's vast water power is not utilized
 A southern commercial congress is to be held in Washington in December just before the meeting of the water ways convention. This state should be we'll represented at both, and the delegates who attend the commercial congress should go loaded with care fully prepared statements showing the location and value of our unused water power. The list should be compiled by competent engineers In that way men
