Detectives from Illinois Seek
Men Alleged to Have Set
Fires in This County.
BIG ICE HOUSES DESTROYED

Detectives have been employed by
the ice companies and are working in
the western part Of Kenosha county at
tempting to get evidence in regard to
fires which recently took place on the
lakes. 1t is declared that the fires
We're of an incendiary origin.
Three weeks ago one of the largest
ice houses at Channel was destroyed
by fire. The loss to the owners amount
ed to fully 100000
Since Monday two detectives have
been at the scene of the fire and FORM
er employees Of the company have been
Questioned. Three detectives are Gu
deavoring to get evidence in regard
to two fires which recently took Pie
in Kenosha county.
The arrest Of two arson leaders in
Chicago may result in the arrest of
men who have made it a business to
destroy ice houses on the small lakes
of Illinois and Wisconsin
The fire that destroyed one large ice
house was Of mysterious origin.
Fire broke out at eight O'Clock and an
hour later the structure was a mass
of ruins.
The rapidity with which the flames
spread throughout the giant structure
lead many to believe that the tram
ways had been soaked with kerosene.
For four consecutive years at least
one big ice house in Kenosha county
has been destroyed by fire.
Both state and federal detectives
have assisted the Chicago prosecutor
in obtaining evidence against two CON
fessed leaders of the arson gang who
are now under arrest.
The loss to ice house owners in Lake
and Kenosha counties by fire each year
amounts to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Robt Connolly Of Waukegan
deputy state fire marshal, is now de-
voting his entire time in an attempt
to get evidence in regard to ice house
fires.
Mr.. Connolly expects to be able to
retain his position with the state
through the civil service act of 1911.
He was an employee Of the state before
the passage of the civil service bill.

FOLLOWS HUSBAND HERE.
Mrs. angelo Grassi of st. Paul Seeks
Arrest of her Husband in Kenosha.

Mrs. Angelo Grassi, an Italian woman
armed with letter from the Prescott
ing Attorney at st. Paul appealed to
the police of Kenosha today for the ar
rest of her husband, Adolfo Grassi, a
former st. Paul man, who had been in
Kenosha for the past two weeks. 1t is
alleged that the man deserted his wife
at st. Paul and came to Kenosha. The
officials at st. Paul asked that the mat
ter be taken up by the District Attor-
ney here on account of the fact that
wife desertion was not an offense sub
ject to extradition under the laws of
Minnesota. Grassi was found by the
police and he insisted that he had pro-
yided a room for his wife and had
agreed to support her here as soon as
he could get a job. The wife declared
that there was another woman in the
case and insisted on the husband be-
ing prosecuted. Grassi is still being held
pending d further investigation on the
part OF the Kenosha officials.

Man Wanted for Robbery Of j. We'd
dlestedt Sent to Prison from Racine.
Mike Miller, arrested in Racine a
week ago and wanted in Kenosha on
charge of robbing Joseph Weddle
stedt agent for the Cream City Brew
ing Company, will probably not be
back in Kenosha for trial for long
time as in the municipal court in Ra-
cine on Wednesday Miller pleaded
guilty to charges of grand larceny
and he was sentenced to term of two
years in the state prison at Waupun.
In Racine Miller was charged with
robbing man of thirty three dollars.
Miller declared to the police officers
i'll Racine that he had turned over to
the Kenosha police every cent that he
had received from Weddlestedt. I'm
der the circumstances it is not expect
cd that any formal warrant for the az
rest of Miller will be issued here. 1t
S possible that the charge will be
brought against him after he is re-
leased from the state prison.

LOCAL DEALERS BLAMELESs
crusade on Part of City sealers Is Di-
rected Against Creameries and Men
VINO Sell Butter to the Retail Deal
ers of the Cities Of the State.

A crusade against short weights IN
prints of butter has been started IN
Kenosha and in all other cities Of the
state under the direction of the state
department of weights and measures,
which has enlisted the active services
of the sealers of weights and measures
in all of the cities Of the state.
City Sealer Felix Mayer of Kenosha
is among the list selected to cooperate
with the state in the big fight to Sc
cure evidence against the creameries
ind butter agents. Under the direction of
.hc state samples of prilts sold in the
Kenosha stores will be secured and
,hese will be tested by the state. Al
eady prosecutions have been made III
Senosha county on account of the sale
II Short weight prints of butter and
+ is certain that the new Investigation
by che state will bring further prose
buttons. This action is not aimed at
she retail dealers, but at the whole
lalers. Tests for shrinkage in the but
Ter are being made, it being claimed
that the butter is being watered I"
at ereameries and by jobbers in order
10 increase profits on it. The shrink
age that has been discovered thus far
in the test has been small, but it is
claimed that it has been sufficient to
show that many of the prints are not
aoucstly made. The first arrests made
in Kenosha showed a variance of sew,
sral ounces from the claimed weight
IF the prints, but it is declared that
lince prosecutions have been made in
ibis city the merchants have insisted
,u the weighing of every print before
It is sold. This is nuisance to the
ietail merchants, but they have taken
Inc step in order to protect their Gus
iomers. Agents for the butter com
nanies have declared that no effort is
being made to sell short weight prints
and they insist that it is impossible
10 get away from slight shrinkage in
The butter They hold that the people
ale demanding butter put up in the
print form and that there is no way
70 prevent a slight shrinkage.
Some of the dealers in Kenosha are
Yelling large amounts of bulk but
yer in order to avoid any possible sug-
gestion of short weight The dealers
who handle the prints have absolute
iy nothing to 20 with the making of
chem and in all cases they were sold
to them as full pound prints

Hungarian Who Told Won
derful Tale of Wealth Is
Thought Incompetent.
TELLS COURT OF HIS BUSINESS

A man of dreams brought consider
able activity among the officials of the
city and county today when petition
was filed with County Judge Taylor
for an examination into the mental
condition of John Hugycz, a Hun
garian, known also as "Dr. B. Stun
mer.' The man was picked up by the
police Of the city on Wednesday night
and his dreams' were so fantastic
that they attracted the attention of
the police and the officials of the
municipal court. The man was taken
before Judge Randall on Thursday af-
ternoon and he at once directed the
police to seek an examination into his
mental condition.
In the municipal court Hugycz at
tracted attention when he declared
that he was the owner of a sugar re-
fnery in Hungary and the president of
a bank In Vienna. He spoke English
fluently and seemed from his conser-
walton to be man of affair. He talk.
ed of his interests in Hungary, in
forming the court that he had been
educated in two German universities.
1t was just about this time that the
man began to show his failing men
tality. Judge Randall asked him the
names of the universities from which
he had been graduated and without a
sign of CONSERVATION the man promptly
responded the tannery" and "the
crib works. He claimed to the police
that he was a healer and as such had
assumed the name of CDR. B. Stun
mero under which name he was orr
ginally booked at the city lookup.
To the police he admitted that he
had fortune which made any
'Kenosha fortune look like mere
pittance, but none of the money
he referred to was found in his poe
kets when he was placed under arrest.
He told Judge Randall of his studies
for the law and then declared that he
had been formerly judge at the state
prison.
The man was such an unsual char
acter that the police believed for a
time that he was feigning insanity.
However after his relatives had been
located there was no doubt as to the
condition of the man s mind and an
application was at once made to the
county court for an examination.
Hugycz had resided in Kenosha for
some time, but he did not become
known to the police until he was pick
ed up on Wednesday. Judge Taylor
called in physicians to make an ex-
animation Of the man and he will
probably be sent to one of the state
institutions for treatment.

Now that the slot machine manu-
factureIs have grown wiser there is
very seldom any effort made to fight
any order against the machines. rs
soon as the owners of the machines
(they are merely leased to the proprie-
tors of the places where they are set
up) are convinced that the police de-
rartment is not bluffing when an order
is issued to remove the machines they
are quietly and quickly taken out and
sent to some other city or stored until
the storm blows over and it is safe to
let them drift back quietly again.
Some Of these machines must make
regular rounds from city to city and
the owners should be able with their
past experience to tell within week
or two just how long the presence of
the machines will be tolerated in any
particularly city on their list. The ex-
PLANTATION for the quick moves made
by the owners Of these machines when
they find that they are Gin wrong"
in any city, is found in the custom Of
some of the hard hearted police Of
icials of Selling these machines as
gambling devices and breaking them
up thereby causing the owners much
mental anguish and considerable fnan-
cial loss. It is much cheaper to re-
move the .machines for the time being.

Work Here is Not Delayed.

County Highway Commissioner M.
G.. McGeehan this morning received
formal notice from the state highway
commission that surveys for roads in
this county would be started just as
soon as the weather will permit and
it is the plan of the state commission

the work in Kenosha county this year.
The surveys will be started on South
Park avenue and the state will see that
engineers are held in Kenosha long
enough to keep ahead of the actual
work of construction. It is probable
that the road work in the county will
be started on South Park avenue
Commissioner Mcclellan said this
morning: With the assurance that the
surveys will be made on time / am
hopeful of getting an early start on
actual road construction and am al
so hopeful that the work can be car
ried on without any delays like we
have had in other years.

BOUGHT AND PAID FOR" PRAIS-
ED BY PROMINENT RABBI.

E'Bought and Paid For" which
comes here on Friday night, March
14th to the Rhode, direct from the
Princess Theatre, William A. Brady IS
Chicago playhouse, was the most pop
ular play in Chicago. Many clergy
men gave spontaneous endorsement Of
its honest moral tone and it's power to
teach and to amuse at che same time.
Rabbi Tobias Schanfarber, of the K.
A. M. temple, one of the greatest jew
ish Churches in Chicago, followed the
lead of DR.. Arthur j. Francis, minister
OF. the Pilgrim Congregational Church,
with an unsolicited letter of praise.
Rabbi Schanfarher writes to the man
agement of the Bought and Paid
For" company as follows:
want to tell you how much l en-
joyed Bought and Paid For 1T is a
most powerful play, and IS in the
hands of company that brings out
all the elements of strength that there
are in it.
"It presents a phase of married life
which is often met with, and which
is the cause of much of the unhappi-
ness with which many Of our American
homes are cursed. The author of the
play has blended the more sober ele-
ments of the production with Just
enough Of the comedy element to make
it fascinating and celebrating.
81 do not wonder that the play had
a years run in the city of New York.
Tt ought to hold the boards in Chi
cago for that length of time. Bought
and Paid For should be seen by every
true lover of the drama. They will
be amply repaid if they visit the play.
Bought and Paid For" is being
presented by the same admirable COM
pany, the members of which, in addi-
ton to the Chicago engagement, play
ed in New York for 176 Of the 478 per-
formances there last season. The COM
bination of Frank Mills, Francis <.
Conlan, Kathlene Mcdonnell, and Hell
enc Lackaye, could not be surpassed
in the Interpretation of the striking
characters which George Broadhurst
has portrayed in this fine play. The
