RELEASE COMES AS SURPRISE
Delay in the Action OH the Walsh Pc
tition Led Kenosha People to Doubt
that Wells Would be Released This
Week.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Harvey Z. Wells, former clerk IL the
First National Bank here, who was
serving seven years sentence In the
government prison at TT. Leayenworth,
walked out of that institution a free
man today. He was granted a parole
and placed in the keeping of Frank L..
Wells of Kenosha and left the federal
prison where he had been confined for
nearly three years at once. 1t is ex-
pected that Wells will return to Ke-
nosha.
The parole of Wells was unexpected
by his friends as the government had
failed to act on the petition of John
K. Walsh and other bankers whose plea
for liberty was heard at the same time
as that of Wells and it was not ex-
pected that his case would be taken
up until later. However, strong
recommendation had been made that
Wells be paroled. This petition which
had been signed by the mother of the
prisoner had the endorsement Of the
officials Of the First National Bank for
whom Wells had formerly worked.
Wells was charged with embezzling
funds of the First National Bank to
the amount of $4,000. He left Kenosha
in the fall of 1907 and the detectives
chased him all over the United States
and over parts of England before they
managed to effect his arrest. After
leaving Kenosha Wells married an Eng
lish girl in New York and at the time
of his arrest they were living in Bos-
ton where Wells was working in
foundry.
His bride came with him to Kenosha,
but after the hearing in the United
States court in Milwaukee which re-
suited in her husband being sentenced
she disappeared and friends Of the
Wells family in Kenosha declare that
they do not know where she is at the
present time. They hint, however, that
she is in Fl Leavenworth awaiting the
release of her husband. She has been
most loyal to Wells and declared at the
time of leaving Kenosha that she would
go to Leavenworth and arrange to be
near him until such a time as he was
released.
Press dispatches are all the news of
the release Of Wells to be received in
Kenosha, but it is certain that he has
been released.

The remarks Of Secretary Wilson
with reference to beet sugar, in his ad-
dress at the opening of the information
al Dairy Show in Milwaukee, were not
perfunctory. For years the head of
the department. of agriculture has been
encouraging the expansion of the beet
sugar industry in the United States.
An interview with Doctor 8. T. Gal
loway, of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, which was telegraphed from Wash
ington yesterday, supplements in a
striking way the secretary's speech.
1t begins by suggesting that to supply
the entire sugar demand of the nation
there would need to be four hundred
beet sugar factories instead of the
seventy or so which now exist. Doctor
Galloway went on to say that the de-
partment of agriculture has done every
thing in its power to encourage the SUI
gar beet industry in this country, but
that the results, though noticeable. have
been smaller than they should be- Pos
sibly the fact that practically all seed
has to be imported from Europe has
had something to do with keeping
practical sugar men out Of the business,
but experts are laboring hard on the
seed question, and the Doctor thinks
it is but a matter of time when the
United States will be able to puroduce
here all the first grade seed that Ameri-
can beet planters require.
Here are interesting statistics of the
beet sugar industry:
Approximately 100000 tons Of beet
sugar are produced in the world annual
". Of this amount the United States
grows about one-fourteenth or 100000
tons The leading sugar beet produc-
ing nations are Germany, 100000
tons; Austria Hungary 100000 tons;
France, 100000 tons. The beet sugar
y "poua OHe-Hdi- u Ilc Woriu , sup
ply. In the United States, Colorado
leads with production Of 10000 tons;
Utah, $4,000 tons; Idaho, 10000, and
Wisconsin, $4,000 tons. The sugar beet
factories are located as follows: Colo
RADIO, sixteen; California, eighteen;
Michigan, seventeen; Utah, seven; Ida
no, five wisconsin, five; Nebraska,
two and the remaining states, one each.
Wisconsin is bound to be more in
beet sugar in the future than in the
past, for nowhere are soil and climate
better adapted to the growing of sugar
beets.-Evening Wisconsin.

The plan submitted by Commissioner
of Pensions Davenport to the secretary
of the interior to simplify the pay
ment of pensions has been very favor
ably received in Washington. The
Plans aim to do away with the
voucher system now in use to great
extent which would eliminate more
than half Of the clerical work now con-
nected with every pension payment and,
it is estimated, would save the pension
ers about million dollars year
which they now pay out to notaries for
acknowledging their signatures to the
vouchers. Under the new system
checks would be mailed direct to the
pensioners and their signatures on the
back thereof duly witnessed would con-
stitute the receipt for the payment
IAks form Of receipt is considered suf-
fcient by every business man in the
country and there is no good reason
why the government should not do bust
ness ON the same basis particularly
when the change would result in q
great saving to the pensioners as it
promises to do. Under the present sys-
tem part of the pension payments es-
timated as stated above to about a
million dollars year is diverted from
the pensioners into the pockets of the
notaries. Something that was never
intended when the present elaborate
system of voucher payments was work
ed out. The suggested plan is another
move along the line of simplifying the
business methods of the government
which has been going on in all depart
ments under the present administration
and decreasing the cost of transaeting
the public business; it has two great
recommendations decreasing the ex-
penses of the pension bureau and re-
lieving the pensioners of an unjust tax.

1t is not expected that the suits to
be started by the city attorney to col
lect delinquent personal taxes will add
any great amount of money to the
treasury, but there is principle to
be maintained and a precedent to be
established which make these suits a
matter of considerable Importance to
the city The amounts outstanding are
not large but it is claimed that in
many instances they are owed by men
who are amply able to pay them and
there is nothing left for the city to do,
bat go to the courts to enforce their
collection. Every effort has been
made to collect these taxes through the
regular channels, but without success
and the last thing the city could afford
would be to let the matter drop where
it is, If people can get out of paying
personal taxes by simply refusing to
settle with the collectors or the treas
urcr, 2 large increase in the number
Of delinquent personal taxes may be
expected from now on. The men who
are paying up promptly now will soon
find that there is a way to avoid these
payments if the collectors are not made
and take it. They will examine the
list of delinquent personal taxes and
find the names of men who are as well
or better able to pay as they are and
will Join them in resisting the collec-
tion of these taxes in the future. 1t
may seem like poor business to start a
suit in the courts when the costs of
the costs of the case viii exceed the
amount to he recovered but under the
circumstances there is nothing else for
the city attorney to do il the parties
against whom the suits are to be filed
continue to refuse to settle viii the
city. Delinquents who can pay and
will not must be made to pay in some
way. Any failure to collect can have
but one effect and that is to largely
increase the number of delinquent per
sopal tayes outstanding after every
future tax levy.

The charge Is ignited by compression,
obviating the necessity Of magnetic Or

bit fve minutes, difference d. about
fifteen hours in comparison with rails

Flower decorated hats are the rule

with such abundance that the cost OF

the elegant white chip hat shown here

they might we'll be mistaken Tor them.
The roses are of pink tulle, which
gives them their peculiarly light and
airy appearance. -,
There Is something very attractive
this season about. the new millinery,
partly, no doubt. because the latest
shapes show SO much variety and
partly also because the colorings which
are most In vogue are OF the daintlest
and most delightful description.
