Fortuni Fails to Return to
Italy as Demanded By the
immigration Officials
NOW SOUGHT AS A FUGITIVE

Officials of the immigration depart
ment of the United States government
are making an effort to secure the ar
rest of Giovana Fortuni, a former Ke-
nosha Italian who left Kenosha week
ago with the understanding that he
was to be taken back to Italy on the
steamer which brought him to this
country. The officials had made full
arrangements for the return of the
Italian to his native land and County
Agent Russell H. Jones had furnished
him with transportation to New York
where he was to have embarked for
Italy. He never reached New York
and the immigration officials armed
with warrant for his arrest are now
seeking him. 1t is claimed that the
man is hopeless invalid. He came
to Kenosha in January of this year and
two weeks after he arrived he was tax
en- sick. When he sought aid from
the county the county agent took up
the matter with the government of
fcials and they arranged to have him
sent back to Italy. One of the men
connected with the government offices
in Chicago came to Kenosha and plac-
ed the Italian under arrest as an unde-
sirable and made the arrangements to
have him sent to New York. It was
not thought that the Italian would
make any effort to get out of the hands
of the government and he declared that
he would make the trip to New York
alone 1t is now learned that a ticket
was sold to an Italian on the same
day that Fortuna left Kenosha and it
is thought that one of his friends went
with him to aid him in slipping away
from the officials and thus to escape
being deported.
County Agent Jones declares that
the case is now in the hands of the
government and that he is not max
ing any search for the Italian, but
should he return to Kenosha he will
be promptly taken into custody and
turned over to the government officials.
The man secured transportation to New
York with the understanding that he
would sail at once for Italy and on
this warrant it is thought that it would
be possible to hold him on charges of
obtaining money under false pretenses
if on no other charge. Fortuni has
no close relatives in Kenosha and the
Italians who knew him declare that
they are ignorant of his present where

Congressman From Sheboy.
gan Out AS Candidate for
Democratic Nomination
SUBJECT TO PARTY SANCTION

Congressman Charles HI. Weisse Of
Sheboygan Falls, has announced that
he is willing to accept the call of his
party for the office of United States
senator and while he has announced
that he will be a candidate for re-
nomination as member of Congress
he is willing to give up this ambition
if it is the will Of the party that he
make the run for United States SEN
ator.
In regard to the mention of his name
by prominent Democrats throughout
the state as a possible candidate for
the Democrats for United States SEN
ate, Mr.. Weisse SAID:
~ appreciate the fact my friends
are mentioning my name as a possible
candidate for United States senator.
I think that in view of the political
situation in this state the rank and file
of the Democratic party should express
their wishes as regards the men whom
they desire shall run for high offices in
this campaign. If the Democrats of
the state, when they meet in conven-
ton in Milwaukee should show a de-
sire that / become candidate for
United States senator, L. shall accept
the endorsement and become a candi-
date before the primary election for
the nomination"
Adolph j. schmitz of Milwaukee
takes much the same position that the
Democratic party should indicate in its
convention whom it desires for stand
ard bearers in the coming campaign.
Mr.. Schmitz said:
81 believe the political conditions
in this state are such that the Demo
cratic voters should indicate to the
convention whom they desire as candi-
dates.
elf that convention should suggest
any person as candidate for the posi-
tion of governor, it would be very hard
for any patriotic citizen to refuse the
endorsement.

lace Ingalls,, amounting to $3.50, arts
ing out of his trip to Europe as mem
Der of the special executive commit
tee on industrial insurance, is held by
Attorney General Gilbert in an opinion
rendered yesterday.
''Under the doctrines of the de
cision in the case of Rosenheim VS..
Frear, in which it was held that the
Legislature has large discretionary
powers, !" the attorney general says,
:" the only limitation placed upon the
legislature in respect to the expen-
diture of public funds for the in
vestigation of subjects within its do
main is that such expenditures be
reasonably necessary. =
The attorney general suggests that
in the absence of a showing of "rea-
sonable necessity" the claim is one
which might be properly presented to
the legislature.

Zion is in a state of civil war. The
action of Wilbur Glenn Voliva in secur-
ing an option on all the property of
the Zion estate has caused fierce
clash between the follow ers of the
overseer and the Independents led by
Judge V. V. Barnes, formerly of Keno
sha and both sides have appealed to
the courts. Clashes on the streets of
Zion City were common on Friday and
it is thought that the contending fac
tions will come to blows. Receiver
Thomas has given to Voliva AN option
on all the property owned by the Zion
estate and the price to be paid is
$4,000, but the Independents have
appealed to Judge lands in the Unit
ed States court in Chicago to have the
option set aside Voliva who it is
claimed is rapidly becoming as power
full as the late John Alexander Dowie,
made the first payment on his pur-
chases on Friday and declares that he
will have the money to meet all of the
obligations before the option expires.
The party headed by Judge Barnes
threatens to leave Zion City in body.
It is declared that all the ceremonials
formerly observed by DR.. Dowie will
be revived and that the great festivals
held in Zion city in former years will
be revived before the end of the pres
ent summer.
In getting an option on the estate,
these are some of the items which will
be included
5000 acres farm land in Zion.
800 acres lake front land.
2,4Oo city lots.
$4,000 in contracts, notes, and &C
counts.
80 to 40 buildings, Of which, about
20 are dwellings and the rest include:
College building.
Medinah Hospice.
Plumbing shop.
Fire and police department building

Corrupt Practices.

Representative government depends
for its continued existence upon an hon
est expression of the popular will. Such
expression is possible only when the
suffrage of the people is absolutely free
and unbought. There is no reason why,
in any contest for public Office in Wis
consin, the millionaire merely because
of his money should possess an advant-
age over the poorest man in the state
Lavish election expenditures should no
longer be permitted. Publicity alone is
far from being an adequate remedy
Political campaigns should be rigidly
supervised by defining the purposes for
which money may be expended, pro-
hibiting its use for any other object
and forbidding any campaigning what
ever On election day. A stringent cor
rupt practices act embodying these fea-
lures should be passed without further
delay; and violation of it should be
punishable by Imprisonment and dis
qualification to hold public Office.

DEAD ON THE TRACK
Man Found Dead at Brazil, Ind, Sup
posed to Have Been From Kenosha

Officials in Kenosha have received
notice from Brazil, Indiana, stating
that the body of an unknown man was
found along, the tracks of the Big Four
Railway at that city. Cards in his
pocket indicate that he might have
been from Kenosha but there is moth
ing on any of these cards to indicate
the identity of the man. He was kill
ed by fast train on last Wednesday
evening, the remains being terribly
mangled. The cards found are cards
given out in saloons and it is thought
probable that the man was tramp
who stopped off at Kenosha and picked
up the cards. The details of his death
are not known but it is supposed that
he was killed while attempting to steal
ride on freight train.

THE popular election of senators

said Mr.. Bryan in his letter, "and the
nomination of Republican candi-
date in Indianapolis will make 1t
even more imperative that our party

Is being led by Thomas Taggert, for

years, and Hunton induced Col.
Swope to take the medicine.
This tonic" said Mr.. Gentry, 'is
a general one for the building up OF
the system and adding red corpuscles
to the blood 1t contains a small
amount of strychnine, but is harm
less"
AS he talked, he held in his hand
6-ounce bottle of the medicine. The
proof that he had faith in his own
goods was not lacking; for occasional
ly he uncorked the bottle and took
a drink of its contents.
Besides compounding this tonic,
Mr.. Gentry said that he sold Mr.. Hun
ton many other kinds of medicine
which went into the Swope home;
but none of them contained cyanide
of potassium or other poisons in dan
gerous quantities, he said.
DR.. Hyde wrote some of these pre-
scriptions.
However, the druggist said that on
December 9 he sold to some member
of the Swope family two tubes of hy-
podermic strychnine.
The testimony of Mr.. Gentry is
generally conceded to be hard blow
to the defense. By proving the col
onels habit of taking tonic the de-
fense had expected to explain the
presence of the strychnine in the
body.
DR.. Hyde faced the first of his al
legged victims shortly before noon to-
day when Miss Margaret Swope took
the stand. The physician is indicted
on three counts charging him with
poisoning her.
No witness that has been before
the grand jury has interested DR..
Hyde and his wife so much as this
girl. Both followed the witness very
closely and watched her carefully.
Miss Swope had just begun to dis
cuss her illness when the court ad-
journed for the noon recess.

Halfway down the trail the party
was met by John Otto who led the

features which he intends to add,
among which will be to establish a
stand of burros or ponies for taking
people over the trail and on to Monu-
ment Canon a distance of about four
miles from the top of the trail.
The party built camp fire under
the big rock and with Otto as their
