LOSES TO MYSTERIOUS man
After Being Picked UP by the Police
Admits That He Lost the Money
Taken from the Till Shaking Dice
With a Stranger

The City restaurant on Main street
was the scene of an unusual robbery
early Sunday morning and as result
Louis Cappelle, an employe of the res
taurant, is being held at the county
jail pending a further investigation.
The till Of the restaurant was touched
up for $3.50 and Cappelle has admit
ted that he took the money.
Samuel E. Walker, the proprietor of
the restaurant, has not as yet decided
as to whether or not he will appear
against Cappelle. The circumstances
attending the robbery of the strong
box of the restaurant were unusual.
Walker had left the restaurant at two
clock Sunday morning leaving the
place in charge of Cappelle, who had
worked at the restaurant off and on
for more than four years. Just after
six O'Clock in the morning Cappelle
called Walker by telephone and inform
ed him that the restaurant had been
robbed. He did not give any details
and Walker hurried to the restaurant
to find every cent of the money that
he had left in the till gone. The case
was reported to the police and they at
picked up Cappelle to see what story
he could give in regard to the robbery
and at the same time couple of other
suspects were picked up. For time
all was mystery in connection with the
case and then Cappelle made con
fession in which he admitted that he
had lost the money gambling.
According to the story told by Cap
pelle he began shaking dice with a
stranger during the night and when he
had been strapped of his own money he
went to the restaurant cash drawer and
began lifting the funds Of the restau-
rant. He declared that he thought that
his luck would change and that he
would have chance to win the money
back, but the bad luck kept up through
the night and in the early morning the
restaurant as well as Capelle had been
strapped. Then the man who had been
shaking dice with Cappelle disappeared
and he faced the shortage and notified
Walker that the place had been
robbed. The. police have been seeking
the man who is alleged to have
gambled with the restaurant attendant
but his identity has not been establish
ed.

AFTER POWDER TRUST
U. S. Government May Start
Investigation ofE.I. DUPONT
Go. With Local Plant
TRUST LAW MAY Be VIOLATED

Uncle Sam has his hatchet out for
the Dupont de Nemours Powder trust,
which has plant at Pleasant Prairie,
and the company whose plant blew up
early in March and made the loudest
artificial noise the + world has ever
heard, jarring five states and causing
million and half dollars damage,
may not have chance to rebuild as
the Dupont company in this county.
It is probable that government liti-
cation against the powder trust, on
since 1907, will soon come to an end
and that the company will be forced
to dissolve into it's original subsidiaries
or have it's officers face criminal prose
cution. Locally the company was orr
ginally the Latin Rand Powder Mills
company.
The Taft administration does not in
tend to rest content with it's victories
in the Standard Oil case and the
American Tobacco company case. 1t
has marked for attack large number
of trusts unless they voluntarily so re-
organize their business as to take them
out of the Gin restrait of trade class
Probably the next great trust case to
reach the supreme court will be the
one for the dissolution of the powder
trust which has been pending since the
early days of the service of Charles J.
Bonaparte as attorney general.
The beginning of suits against the
steel trust, which many men regard as
more vulnerable than either of the two
trusts just ordered to be dissolved, has
been withheld on the theory that if the
government lost in the suit just de-
cided, an attack on the steel trust
would have been useless and expen-
sive. Now that the government has
been upheld in every contention, in the
tobacco case, it is anticipated that the
steel trust will be attacked.

The excursionists Of the Milwaukee
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
tion were very cordially received by
the Kenosha business men and in their
tour Of the city they must have seen
here q field for trade extension worth
the best efforts of their organization
to secure for Milwaukee. So far as
retail trade is concerned, the problem
Of securing an equitable adjustment Of
railway rates is the one that must be
solved by the association first if Mil
waukee is ever to secure it's fair pro-
portion of this trade going out Of Ke-
nosha. This has always been consid-
cred "Chicago territory" by the rail
way company and it has been easier,
cheaper, and more convenient for Ke-
nosha out of town shoppers to go to
Chicago than to Milwaukee. We do
not believe that it will take much in
vestigation on the part of the Milwau-
kee association to ascertain that their
city has been unfairly Disseminated
against in rates and passenger service.
There are more trains going to and
fro between Kenosha and Chicago and
at more convenient hours than there are
between Kenosha and Milwaukee and
these conditions should be reversed. It
is up to the Milwaukee association to
see what can be done in the matter for
the Kenosha retail merchants cannot
reasonably be expected to move against
their own interests. Of course there
is not the slightest necessity for any
of this trade going away from home.
The local merchants are as we'll prepar-
ed to supply every luxury and necessity
as those of any city in the country
and at as fair prices. At the same
time it must be admitted that very
valuable trade does go out from Keno
sha and so long as certain percentage
of trading is done away from home it
is better in every way that it should
go to Milwaukee and help build up the
metropolis of our own state. That is
not keeping the money at home, but it
is certainly keeping it nearer home
than where the biggest share Of it
goes now.

.LANGAN SENDS OUT LETTERS
Men at the Head of the Liquor Bust
ness in the State Seek to Have a
Cleaning Up of the Business by Get
ting Better Men.

That the liquor dealers and saloon
keepers associations are in earnest in
their promises to lead in the prosecu.
tien Of saloon men who keep disorderly
places or violate the laws and in their
effort to clean up the business is again
made evident by a letter they are now
sending to the licensing boards through
out the state. 1t is signed by the Wis
consin Retail Liquor Dealers Protec.
tive association, John F. Langan, Keno.
sha, president; Milwaukee Retail Liquor
Dealers association, E. G. Hundt
president; Wisconsin Association of
Wholesale Liquor Dealers, F. c.. Liene-
mann, president, and the Wisconsin and
Upper Peninsula of Michigan Brewers
association, A. S. Lindeman, president
Gin addition to the foregoing provi-
sions of law, we would recommend that
no license be granted to any person
whose license has been revoked within
the preceding twelve months, as pro
vided by law, for selling liquor to min
ors or to intoxicated persons or to any
applicant who has persistently and
openly violated any town, village and
city ordinance regulating the liquor
traffic, including the hours when the
same may be sold, or to the operation
Of gambling devices.
"We recommend that the character
of all persons applying for retail
license be carefully scrutinized and that
no license be issued to any one whose
moral character is bad; to no one who
himself drinks to excess; to no one
who permits minors and loafers to con
gregate and hang about his place; to
no one who permits females of CUES
tionable character access to his place
at all; to no one who permits loud,
boisterous and rowdy conduct in his
place; to no one who does not keep his
place neat, clean and sanitary, both
inside and outside, and in full com
pliance with local regulations in per
tanning to health and sanitation; to
no one who SO conducts his place as to
disturb his neighbors and constitute a
nuisance.
eff you will carefully observe those
suggestions in acting upon applications
for license it will be of greatest aid
and assistance in cleaning up and ele-
waiting the character of the saloon and
it's keepers. We assure you Of our cor
dial cooperation. But you alone have
the power to grant license in the first
instance and you alone have the power
to revoke licenses for misconduct.

Report Municipal Court for
Year Shows Substantial
Profits for the City
COUNTY TO BREAK ABOUT EVEN

County Treasurer c. P. Wallig has
filed with the city clerk the annual re-
port of the expenses of maintaining
the municipal court and this report
shows that the court is now a paving
institution for the city. In fact the
amount of profit realized by the city
from the court in the year just closed
is nearly $500 more than the amount the
city is called upon to pay for the ex-
penses of the court. Under the law
for the organization of the court it is
provided that two thirds of the ex-
penses shall be paid by the county and
one third by the city. The city re-
ceives the fines and costs collected for
city cases tried and the county receives
such money as may be realized from
the hearing Of cases started under
state warrants. The receipts of the
county are materially reduced by the
fact that proportion of all fines col
lected on the county's account go to
the state. The report of the expenses
for the year ending May 18th shows a
total of $3,733.87. Of this amount
$2,133.32 was paid for the judge s sal
airy, $1,040 for the salary of the clerk
and 1924 for the janitor. The remain
der Of the expenses were for the sup,
plies used in the court during the year.
The amount of this to be paid by the
city is 81, 244.62 and the city has re-
ceived from the court during the same
year over $4,000 The profit to the
county is not so large, but it is stated
that the county will break just about
even in the maintenance Of the court.
Of course during the past year it be-
came necessary to purchase many pieces
of permanent equipment for the court
and this expense will be reduced in
another year. It is expected that by
the end of the next fiscal year the
court will be shown to have big earn
ing power for both the city and county
to say nothing of the many other ad-
vantages gained through its operation.

The movement for safe and sane
celebration Of the Fourth of July is
growing stronger every year and the
list of the cities with the proud record
of going through the day without a
single serious accident-due to the
Punishment of dangerous fireworks and
toy pistols from their streets and the
enforcement of few common sense
regulations by their police departments
will be longer this year than it was
last. Will Kenosha be included in the
list? We fear not. From all appear
ances this city is drifting back into the
old ways instead Of going forward
along this line and unless there is
more activity in advocating the safe
and sane idea, we shall have very
much the old style celebration this
year with it's attendant list of casual
ties. It will not be because there have
not been many additions, to the num-
Der believing in a safe and sane cele-
bration in Kenosha either since the
last Fourth, but because these people
are not united and organized in a way
that will make their influence felt with
the dealers in dangerous explosives and
with the city authorities. It is the old
story of what is everybody's business
is nobody's business.
