CAREY INDICTED IN MILWAUKEE
Chicago Man Charged with Running
Away with Laura Fleuker of Silver
Lake Now Facing Two Trials in Diff
ferent Branches Of u. S. Court.

The federal grand jury for the East
ern district of Wisconsin which has
been in session for the past week was
excused on Wednesday after it had
voted a large number of indictments
against defendants held for violation
of the federal statutes. -Four indict
ments of interest in Kenosha county
were voted by the jury, the list in
luding indictments against Charles
Wit, Jerry Beard and Charles Hackley,
all Of Kenosha, charged with the mis-
use of the mails, and an Indictment
against w. H. Carey, Chicago sales
man, who is charged under the Mann
act with transporting Laura Fleuker, a
Silver Lake girl, from Sheboygan to
Minneapolis for immoral purposes.
The trial of all the defendants under
indictments voted will probably come
up at the December term of the federal
court
The voting of an indictment against
Carey was something of a surprise. A
great deal of publicity has been given
to the troubles of Carey and the Fleu-
ker girl. The pair were arrested at
Green Bay some time ago and after
the hearing had been held there it was
announced that an Indictment against
Carey charging a violation Of the Mann
act had been voted in the United
States court in Chicago Notwithstand-
ing this fact, the federal grand jury
for this district heard the evidence
against Carey and it also returned an
Indictment, the Indictment being based
entirely on the trip made by Carey and
the Fleuker girl from Sheboygan to
Minneapolis. This trip was made in
1912 1t is just possible that Carey
might claim the statute of limitation
as defense against the charges made
in the Chicago court but the Indictment
voted by the Milwaukee grand jury
leaves no such chance of escape.
The Indictment of the three Kenosha
me was expected. The men are charg
ed with having sent a threatening let
ter to former Alderman Albert Conforti,
the Market Square tailor. Ihere had
been some question as to whether or
not Viii would be indicted, but the
jury held that the evidence against
him was conclusive and he was includ-
ed in the Indictment with Hackley and
Beard 1t is alleged that the letter
complained of was written by Hackley,
but that he acted as a tool for the other
men. IS
Hacllley and Beard have been in jail
in Milwaukee for q long time, but Witt
has been out on bond.
Chief of Police 0 Hare is expected to
have an important part in the trial Of
the case and many Kenosha people will
be summoned to Milwaukee to give evil
dence when the case goes to trial

MAKE LEVY FRIDAY.
Chairman Shearer of Finance Commit
tee Calls Meeting to Make City Levy.

Alderman Conrad Shearer, chairman
of the finance committee of the COM
mon council, has issued call for
meeting of the committee to be held
on Friday afternoon at which time the
matter Of making the annual tax levy
will be taken up. City Clerk Harring
ton completed the work of writing up
the assessment rolls today and he will
be ready for the committee on Friday.
The state and county apportionment
will be sent to the clerk Of the city and
the towns by County Clerk Jones on
Wednesday so that everything will be
in readiness for the making of the final
figures. Chairman Shearer is busy
figuring out the turn of the city from
the income taxes and it is expected
that this will be in the neighborhood
of $4,000. While no formal figures
have as yet been made it is pretty GER
tain that t1e levy will not be less than
fifteen mills as the increase of state
and county taxes will amount to nearly
four mills this year and there is no rea-
son to believe that the committees Of
the council will be willing to get along
with smaller appropriations than were
made year ago. 1t is just possible
that the committee will find it neces-
sary to levy even larger tax than the
fifteen mills.

SCOTS TEAM EATS FREE.
Chief O'Hare's Bowling Braves Fail
to Come to Scratch on Monday.

The one big sporting event of the
present session of the county board was
pulled off on Monday afternoon when
Scott S Colts defeated O'Hare's Braves
in bowling match at the Harrington
alleys. Stung by the defeat of last
Friday afternoon Chief O'Hare and his
bowling experts had challenged the
other team to a game with the under
standing that the losers would pay for
the suppers. It can be said that the
Scott players put their feet under the
mahogany on Monday evening and ate
turkey until they were filled to over
flowing without a cent of expense.
The game was replete with features,
but it would be impossible tostell all
of them. Herzog, the Scott ringer,
failed to shine in the scoring and he
was the low man when the game was
counted up. J Here is the score of the
bowling match:

Seven Young Men From Ke,
nosha Picked up by Zion
Police for Disturbance.
MANY SHOTS FIRED IN CHASE

Kenosha was featured in the justice
court of Zion City on Saturday night
and Monday when seven youths from
this city who went to Zion City to at
tend a party were picked up by the
police Of that city on charges of dis
turbance after the widest chase in the
history of wild ehases in Zion. Before
the seven Kenoshans were landed by
the officials score of shots were fired.
Some of the boys were permitted to
pay fines on Saturday night but the
Others We're not able to settle the cases
until Monday afternoon. All OF them
have now been released and have re-
turned to their homes and it is certain
that it will be a long time before they
attend party at Zion City again. The
boys gave their names IS Emil Boyle,
Glynn Knickerbocker, James Kohlman,
Gustave Krupp, Thomas Boyle and
Frank Johanner.
These seven with three other com
panions had gone to Zion City on Sat
urday evening to visit a former Keno
sha boy now living in Zion, who is soon
to become benedict. Only a portion
Of the crowd had been invited and
when they reached the house some
were denied admittance and this start
cd the trouble. 1t was then past Zion
City bed time and the Kenosha boys
started shouting on the street in front
of the home of their friend and in less
time than it takes to tell it a half
dozen Zion City police officers were at
ter them. The ten boys scurried in all
directions with the police officers in
pursuit. The Kenosha boys were pretty
fast for the Zion City police and the
latter called their revolvers into use
and began firing. The shots further
disturbed the sleep of Zion and the
people rushed into the streets believing
that there had been pitched battle
between the followers of Voliva and the
insurgents. The whizzing sound of the
bullets close to their heads had the re
suit of causing a majority of the boys
to surrender to the police but three of
them brayed the hail of bullets and
managed to get over the corporate linn
its of Zion and walked back to Kenosha.
The police officers found the boys be-
hind telephone poles and in bitches and
when they got them to the office of the
magistrate they were sorry looking
band of Kenoshans. Fines of three dol
lars and costs were assessed against the
boys and they have been drifting back
to the city just as rapidly as they
could get the money to settle the fines.
1t is case of ssnever again in Zion
with all of the boys.

Three Men Prominent in the
County arrested for bring
ing INFESTED Cattle Here.
WERE BOUGHT IN MINNESOTA

A new form of activity in protecting
cattle Of the state was shown III the
municipal court this morning when
Matt Hotz, of Silver Lake, Ben Lentz,
of Bassett Station and Tony Schlax of
the same village were arrested and
brought before Judge Randall in the
municipal court charged with violating
the state law against the bringing into
the state of cattle which had not been
properly tested for tuberculosis. The
arrests were made on the complaints of
DR.. O. H. Eliason of Madison, state
veterinarian, and his assistant, DR.. ".
S. Larson. All of the defendants en-
tered pleas of guilty and fines of $50
and costs, the minimum under the law,
were assessed in each case. The fines
and costs were paid.
The three men were charged with
having purchased cattle in other states
and shipping them to this county with
out informing the state department
that the cattle had not been tested. No
suggestion was made by any of the de-
PENDANTS to the state board that the
cattle had been shipped into Wisconsin
and the state board got their first facts
in regard to the violations by shipping
receipts sent in from Chicago. 1t is de-
clared that most of these cattle were
purchased in Minnesota and shipped in
to Chicago. There they were fed and
reshipped to Trevor, where they were
unloaded and taken to Kenosha county
! farms.
Another lot of the cattle are alleged
to have been shipped from Chicago to
Antioch, H., and taken from there UNI
der the cover of darkness to two farms
in the county. DR.. Eliason declares that
there will be further arrests in Keno
sha county and that several cases are
now under investigation in the hands
of the department. 1t is expected that
action on these cases will be taken
within week.
eve are having lot of trouble
4 down here about the Illinois Wisconsin
line, said DR.. Eliason. "The fact that
Illinois does not demand inspection of
cattle offers an easy chance for viola
lions of the Wisconsin law, but we are
making careful scrutiny of all ship
ping receipts from Chicago and other
Illinois cities and we shall insist on
prosecutions wherever the law is violat-
ed. The stock buyers are all aware
that it is an easy matter to have cattle
tested after they are brought into the
state and they must meet these re-
quirements of the department. We are
not going to take the chance of having
! Wisconsin herds infected with tubercu-
losis and other diseases by having I'M
tested cattle shipped in from Illinois. :

Finance.

OF the five main topics considered by
the convention that of finance comes
easily first and the statement following
of this branch of the work will indi-
cate clearly the degree of success that
the finance committee is having in the
task of raising funds for the next cam
paign. The quotation is made from the
Madison State Journal:
Financial standing Of the counties
supporting the suffrage work was re-
ported at the meeting Thursday after
noon by Mrs. E. S. Jordan, chairman
of the Financial committee. On the
floor Door county pledged 800, which
was twice as much as they were asked
to pay; Vernon county pledged $50 and
Jefferson county, SIS. The budget for
the year is 1000 and towards this sum
the following counties have pledged
large amounts: Milwaukee, 1905; Ke-
nosha, 1854; Rock, 1915; Richland,
$500; Winnebago, 1886; Waukesha,
5000; Racine, $240 Outagamie, $3.50;
Brown, 800; Walworth, 1925, and Sank
1925.
A letter to the trends Of woman suf-
frage, giving an account of the expense
Of the association, will be sent out
over the state in an effort to secure
contributions to the cause.
Education.
The Educational committee blocked
out for itself no less task than the
ultimate education of these voters of
Wisconsin, who by such an overwhelm-
ing majority rejected the suffrage
amendment when it was before the peo-
pie in November year ago. 1t is sig
nifcant of the new spirit among suf-
fragists that they have begun by the
careful preparation of a manual Of in
