SALOONS PROVE EASY VICTIMS
Police Get Good Description of One of
The Men Concerned With The Pass
ing of the Money, But he Managed to
Get Out of the City Thursday Night.

The police of Kenosha are very ac-
tive today in an effort to get some
traee of band of counterfeiters at
work in Kenosha on Thursday. and it
is claimed that these men managed to
get rid of lot of counterfeit money
in the city. The men worked mostly
in the saloons operated by foreigners
and reports from the banks show that
considerable counterfeit money was
placed in circulation with these sa-
looms as medium.
One Of the men circulating the
money came very near being captured.
He had just passed bogus silver dol
lar and a silver twenty-five cent piece
at the saloon of John Balazs Oh North
Main street whe nthe police were no.
titled Officer Wade was put on the
job, but when he reached the saloon
the man had evidently taken a tip
from the telephone message and he
had made good his escape. The fellow
is said to have been well dressed and
seemingly well supplied with money
How much Of this was counterfeit re
mains to be seen. The man went from
saloon to saloon and he was regarded
as a good spender. In fact his spend
ing so freely attracted the attention
Of the saloon men. The counterfeits
are said to have been remarkably good
ones and all found so far are silver
dollars and silver twenty-five cent
pieces. The counterfeits have the
same appearance as those foated in
Kenosha some three months ago and
it is probable that the men passing
them are the same men who worked
in Kenosha on former occasions.
After the discovery Of the counter
teit half dollars in Kenosha some time
ago the federal officers made an in
vestigation and several arrests were
made in Chicago. One plant for the
making of these coins was discovered
and raided and several arrests made,
but it was declared that this plant had
rot been in operation. The coins cir
culated are nearly all new and they
are nice and bright and when thrown
on bar caused little attention from
the barkeepers.
Kenosha has been a favorite place
for the circulation of counterfeit
money for some time and it is expect
ed that the United States marshal in
Milwaukee will put one of his men in
to Kenosha for few day sin hopes Of
being able to get a line on these men.
Reports from other cities indicate
that men worked in Racine and Mil
waukee during the past few days and
it is thought that the fellows are
working south along the lake shore in
order to keep close to their haven in
Chicago.

ANNUAL REPORT OUT.
State Pure Food Commits.
sion Declares Great Saw
ing Has Been Made.
COST OF COMMISSION SMALL

The value of the state dairy and food
subject of statistics in report to the
governor by State Dairy and Food Com
missioner J. @. Emery, who declares
that it effects a saving to the people of
$10,000,000 in money and an amount in
good health and business prosperity not
to be estimated. This is stated as a
return to the people of 5000 for every
year.
The cost is $4S,650 per year and the
savings are computed as follows: Saw
ing to cheese producers, $1,640.000; to
butter producers, $1,340,000; to linseed
oil users, $112, 800; on adulterated foods,
$6,o0o,000; by weights and measures
law; $1,250,00O.
The enforcement of the laws against
food adulteration has cost 2 cents per
capita, and it is considered that more
than rs percent of adulteration has
been stopped. 1t is estimated that the
commission IS work In guarding against
adulterated cheese and through edu-
cational work for improving its quality
has raised the average price / cent a
pound, amounting in 1911 to $1,640,000.
In this same way, continues the re-
port, improvement of the sanitary con
ditions of creameries and diaries as a
result of the commission IS activities,
has improved the states butter sup
ply, and it is said that wholesale men
estimate butter is now worth on the
average / cent more per pound. In
1911 this increase in value was estimat-
ed at $1,340.000.
Under the new weights and measure
law 1858 tests of scales, weights and
measures had been made up to June
80, 1912, and 20 per cent had been
found fraudulent. This saving based on
Milwaukee statistics, amounts to ST.
100000 annually.
The average yearly cost of the Illi-
nois, Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan
commissions is $56,075. Wisconsin s is
$4S,65O, according to the report.

GET BOOTY VALUED At s1OO
Men Secure Outfits for the Winter and
Then Fill Their Pockets From the
Jewelry Counter Police Unable to
Get any Clew to Identify of Thieves.


Dave Albers, the we'll known Main
street clothier, who has been asking
people to meet him face to face for
the past five years in Kenosha, turn
cd his back once too often as some
time Sunday night or early this morn
ing the Albers store was entered by
burglars and the men managed to get
away with clothing and gents furnish
ings to the value of more than humid
red dollars. There is lot of mystery
connected with the burglary and the
police have not been able to get any
clew which will lead them to the
guilty parties. The men who broke
into the store were so careful in their
movements that they left no track
behind them. The police have not
been able to find just how the store
was entered.
This morning when "Dave" open
ed up for the day he found the back
doors Of the building standing wide
open. He looked about the store and
found that two of his best overcoats,
a bunch of furnishings and rather
pretentious supply of jewelry had gone
into the burglar 5 bag 1t was evident
that the men had worked with care
and they had stretched curtain
across the rear end of the store in
order to make it possible for them to
try on the overcoats without any
chance of them being seen from the
street. The back doors had been bolt
ed from the inside and there was no
way that they could have been open
ed from the outside of the building
without breaking the glass in the
doors. This rem aimed intact. An eff
fort had been made to pull away the
wire guard which had protected the
windows leading into the basement of
the store, but the dust on the window
sill had not been disturbed and the
police do not believe that the burg
lars got into the store through the
basement. The window leading to the
basement had been unlocked and it is
just possible that the burglars found
a way to get into the basement with
out disturbing the dust.
The police were advised of the
burglary early this morning, but they
have as yet found nothing to aid them
in the search for the guilty parties.
They seem to be convinced that the
work was done by local crooks, but
they believe that the men went into
the store simply to secure an outfit
for the winter and then decided to fill
the pocket of the newly acquired over
coats with jewelry.
The stock was pretty badly torn
down and the burglars showed an ap-
probation of the best things in cloth
| ing. The two overcoats taken were
the two best coats in the stock.

just as soon as any counterfeit coin
makes its appearance anywhere in the
county it would be good move for
the government to put secret service
operatives in the north shore towns to
await the coming of the men who are
showing the queer" All of the cities
along the north shore have been most
fruitful field for these criminals and
there is reason to believe that their op-
erations in getting rid of the counter
feits in this section have been much
more extensive than has been reported,
many people preferring to take their
loss in silence to admitting that they
were stuck with the bad coin.
