MUST GO TO Fl. LEAvENWORTH
Is Sentenced to Eighteen Months at
Hard Labor Following Conviction of
Sending Threatening Letter to Fer
mer Alderman Albert Conforti.

Charles Vite, one of the leaders of
the Italians of Kenosha and man
widely known in the city, was sent
enced to term of eighteen months in
the federal prison at Ft. Leavenworth,
Kas., by Judge Geiger in the United
States court for the eastern district
late Monday afternoon Vite was con-
victed on charge of sending threat
ening letter through the mails and his
attorneys decided not to take an APP
peal IN the case and he was promptly
sentenced by the judge to the federal
prison The conviction of Vite came
as surprise to the defendant and to
his Italian friends. Vite was arrested
more than a year ago and had been
out on bail pending a hearing of the
case in the United States court. He
was charged with having taken part
IN conspiracy to secure money from
Albert Conforti, a former member of
the common council. After the arrest

to do with the letter more than to
furnish Charles Hackley and Perry
Beard, also arrested in connection with
the case, with paper on which to write
the letter to Conforti. Vite had claim
ed that there was an Italian who had
returned to Italy who could prove his
Innocence of the charges and for this
reason the case was continued from
time to time.
There was no evidence in -ppo-ss of
the defendant when Judge Geiger heard
the case Charles Hackley, who had.
served six months after pleading guilty
to charge of wording the letter, was
on the stand for the government and

any time fail to maintain it as park.
or recreation property.
Under the proposed deed of gift
there is nothing to prevent the proper
ty being used by the city for public
playground should the park commission
see fit to convert it into such uses.
Mr.. Bullamore has taken an active in
terest in the work of the park board
and the play grounds association and
this interest caused him to make the
offer to the city. The block of property
is located in territory which is rap
idly building up and it is ideally To-
Gated for park purposes. 1t is near to
Prairie avenue and the land is easy of
drainage and offers soil particularly

ne testified that Vite not only had been
IN. the room when the letter was writ
ten, but that he had dictated portions
Of 1T and had advised with the other
men as to the manner in which the
demand for money should be made.
This evidence was followed with the
testimony of Sheriff Achen, Chief of
Police O'Hare arnd the postoffice in
spectors who had been connected with
the investigation of the case and all
of them testified to admissions made
by Vite which indicated strongly that
he had been in the room when the let
ter was written. Vite took the stand
in his own defense and declared that
he had made no admissions to the of
ficers and that he had nothing to do
with the writing of the letter. His
testimony failed to shake the jury and
they found him guilty in short order.
Vite will probably remain in Milwau-
kee for couple of days in order to
give him a chance to make some pro-
vision for his business affairs before
he goes to Leavenworth.
Beard, the other Italian arrested in
the case, will probably have hearing
this afternoon. 1t is expected that
he will plead guilty and throw him
self on the mercy of the court.
Vite gained notoriety in Kenosha
many years ago when he shot and kill
ed Tony Bruno, who was known as the
King of the Italians in Kenosha.
He was tried in the circuit court on
charges of murder and after a long
trial featured with many sensations he
was acquitted. Since his acquittal he
had been one Of the leaders among the
Italians. He had been in the saloon
business in Kenosha for years and is
at the present time the holder of a
retail liquor dealers license. 1t is
probable mat he will be taken to
Ft. Leavenworth on Wednesday after
noon.

COST OF COURT SMALL.
Annual Report of Expenses Of Munici-
pal Court Filed With City Clerk.

James E. Tully, clerk of the munich
pal court, has filed with the city and
county clerks the expense account of
the municipal court for the year end
ing May 81, 1914. This shows that
the total expenses of the court for the
year were $4,786.22. Of this amount
$4,340 was expended for the salaries
of the Judge, clerk and janitor of the
court and the total of the operating
expenses for the year was but $446.
The amount of this to be paid by the
county is $3,19O82 and 81, 595.4O will
be paid by the city. AS the city has
received from the court in fees more
than $4,000 during the same period the
total profit to the city from the main
enance Of the court has been in excess
of $4,000 The report also shows a
profit for the county, but it is not so
large as that paid to the city.

CITY MUST MAINTAIN PROPERTY
Proposed Park Would Be Located in the
Heart of New Territory to be An
nexed to the City Within the Next
Few Days-Council Considers Plan.

The city of Kenosha has a chance to
the territory which will be annexed to
the city later in the month as Henry
L. Bullamore, the owner of large tract
of land in the new territory, has sent
proposition to the common council and
to the board of park commissioners Of
fering to give to the city, free of
charge, a whole block taken from the
center of Highland View subdivision.
The property offered is located west of
the Balm road and it is admirably sit
uated for park purposes.
The proposition Of Mr.. Bullamore has
received the sanction of the park board
and it is now in the hands of the com
mittee on public grounds of the COM
mon council. The conditions undei
which the gift is offered are not hard
conditions.
In his proposition to the two civic
bodies Mr.. Bullamore states that he will
give the city deed to this block of
properly PROVIDED the city Will agree
to grade the streets surrounding it and
improve the property for park purposes
by building sidewalks, planting trees
and shrubs and provide for the future
maintenance of this as a park. Mr..
Bullamore agrees that he will furnish
all gravel needed for the grading Of the
streets and that the cost to the city
will be the building of the walks, the
planting of the park and the work re-
quired for the grading of the streets
about it. He reserves the right to name
the park Highland View Park and
clause is to be put in the deed to
provide that the property shall revert
to the former owner should the city at

Pleasant Prairie People Not
Interested in Suit to Make
Company Leave Village.
SAY LAWS ARE ALL OBSERVED

The people Of the village of Pleasant
Prairie are not showing any great in
terest in the suits that are being de-
manded with view of ousting the
Hercules Powder Company from that
section of the county and it is pretty
certain that the people of the village
will not have any great part in the
action when it is brought in court H.
A. King former postmaster and Dean
OF the village was in Kenosha today
and when asked for an expression in
regard to the proposed war against
the powder plant he said: so far as
know this agitation for the removal
OF the powder company is entirely
limited to people in Kenosha. Out at
the village have heard no one OBJ
Jectlng to the company or its methods
of doing business. The company is
now living up to every provision of
the law and there is no one in Pleas
ant Prairie who is spending any sleep
less nights on account of the presence
of the powder mills. Of course condi-
tions are different now from what thew
were before the big explosion and most
people are convinced that with the
perfect supervision now maintained at
the plant there is no danger to their
property. The company showed its
willingness to settle with the Pleasant
Prairie people for all damages sustain
ed by them and so far as l know the
people are satisfied to have the com
pany continue in business. =
1t was suggested to Mr.. King that
this feeling might be the result Of the
business secured from the employees
of the company, but he declared that
this was not the case and insisted that
the people had no cause for complaint
against the present operation of the
plant. He was asked to give an ex-
preston as to the possibility of Pleas
ant Prairie people appearing as wit
nesses In court in an action to Dust
the company and he declared that he
did not think many of the people and
even those living within mile of the
plant would care to have any part in
such an action. From his statements
ut IS evident that Pleasant Prairie is
very luke warm in its support to any
movement of the county board to Dust
the company.
1t is said that the opposition to the
continued operation of the plant is
stronger in the town of Bristol than

EARLY MOSQUITO
PLAGUE LAID TO
BERGEN COUNTY
Local determination Chief Says
Neighboring Section Permits
Pests to Prop gate.

Lack of mosquito determination
facilities In Bergen county Is blamed
for the influx of mosquitoes into this
county by the Essex County Mosquito
determination Commission. Swarms
of the detested pests are swarming
into Newark and vicinity from the
unprotected meadow lands in Bergen
county, it is said. This is especially
true in the vicinity of Nutley, reports
say. 1t is alleged that Bergen county
has paid little or no attention to the
systematic determination of MOSQUE
toes.
DR.. Ralph II. Hunt, president of the
local commission, declared last night
that the mosquito abroad at present
is the salt marsh variety or cantator.
He said the first brood, which Is now
in evidence, could not last for more
than a week or two. Then it would
de out. He expressed the belief that
there would be but little trouble expe-
rfinced from mosquitoes after the
cantator brood was gone.
II would like to have 1t understood
that the Essex County Mosquito Elk
termination Commission does not by
any means claim that it has brought
lection. This. though, Is a fact: The
mosquito nuisance is being reduced
year by year and it will take several
years yet to bring about condit on
that will enable the county of Essex
to say that it is practically free from
mosquitoes.
This section is the only one in
which the culex cantator has such
vast breeding places. In this county
there are $500 acres of salt marsh, a
like number in Union County and in
Hudson and Bergen there are about
10000 acres in each. Hudson, Union
and Essex have done wonderful and
thorough work in looking after the
haunts of the mosquito, but in Berg n
there has been nothing done to the
1000 acres of mosquito breeding
marsh on account of there being no
funds.
Seventy Five on War Path.
Since the tenth of March we have
had seventy-five men constantly en-
gagged in hunting the breeding places
Of the mosquito in the salt marshes,
for that is the first brood that is
Matched. The house mosquito, or
culex pipiens, does not appear until
about the tenth or fifteenth of June.
and we believe we have that brood
well in hand. There may have been
some of the marsh mosquitoes bred in
Essex, for we met very bad conditions
in the latter part of April and the
early part of this month, when there
was almost continuous rain and the
meadows were flooded to such an eX-
tent that it was impossible for US to
get at the 'wigglers.' There was a
Joint inspection made of Hudson
County and Essex County early in the
season and every precaution has been
taken to stop the breeding. The pub
lie must take into consideration that
the problem is one that must be given
a reasonable amount of time to work
out, and there should be a reasonable
amount of patience shown with those
who are working out the problem
