HOYNE SCORES STEAMSHIP
INSPECTION SERVICE

MacIay Hoyne, states attorney,
representing the people of Cook
county and the state of Illinois, made
this statement last night:
$50 far as government inspection
of passenger steamships in Illinois is
concerned, it has been a CHASTITY joke.
The steamboat men practically have
been allowed to dictate the number of
passengers they should be licensed to
carry.
There has been a cheerful good
fellowship between the inspectors
and the boat owners in fixing the
capacity. The only basis has been
guesswork or influence"

STARTS WORK ON NEW PLANS.
Committee on Tuberculosis Hospital to
Incorporate Their Own Ideas.

Architect Joseph Lindl accepted as
architect for the county tuberculosis
hospital by the county board, has start
ed work to draw new plans for the
proposed building and these new plans
will incorporate many ideas proposed
by the board and not taken care of IN
any of the original sketches presented.
The original Lindl plans will not be
followed by the committee, but It is
planned to work over the plans in or
der to have many features which have
been found good in such institutions
included. It will probably take week
or ten days to get the plans and speci-
fications ready and after this they
must be sent to the state board of con-
troll for sanction before bids may be
asked on them. As the plans will fol-

Rizzo, and Charley Rizzo, the husband
of the daughter. Mrs. Cerminara told
OF threats that had been made to
burn down her home after she had re-
fused to give Cappello the hand of her
daughter in marriage. Other witnesses
told of the boasts of Cappello that the
young woman would never marry Rizzo
and Rizzo himself told that he had been
threatened with death if he insisted on
seekine the hand of the young woman
as wife. Stories of letters threaten
ing the destruction of lives and prop
erty were read into the records by the
district attorney and these letters will
be featured at the trial of the case
in the circuit court. A general denial
Of the evidence of the state was the
chief attempt of the defense and it is
probable that later an effort will be
made to establish an alibi. Cimino is
alleged by the officials to have acted in
the matter as the tool of Cappello.
The attorneys for the Italians made
demand that the bond in each case
be reduced to $500, but Judge Randall
insisted that under the evidence pre-
sented the bonds of $4,000 were none
to high. Should Cimino secure his re-
lease on bonds he would be immedi-
ately arrested on the Pittsburg war
rant. Both men returned to the
county jail after the hearing.

PRESIDENT THoMEy TO QUIT.
Leader Of Council VIII Not Seek Re-
Election as Alderman from the Ninth.

Herbert Thomey, president of the
common council and for the past four
years representative of the third and
ninth ward in the common council, will
leave that body at the end of his pres
ent term. He is not a candidate for
reelection and he has signed the petit
tions of Adolph Meier, who is seeking
to represent the ninth ward in the
council. The retirement of Alderman
Thomey is a matter of regret to other
members of the council. He has been
very active in the affairs of the city
and has been leader in many move
ments for the advancement of the
city. He has been the sTribune of
the people of the west side of the
third ward on the council for years
and his work for the advancement of
his neighborhood made him decidedly
popular. Two years ago he was elect
ed as alderman of the third ward by
one of the largest pluralities ever Civ
en- candidate in Kenosha. During
the past year he has been president of
the council and chairman of the inn
portant committee on fire department.
One of his chief plans is to have the
work on the new west side engine
house started before he gives up his
Office.

Fifty Jeffery Girls Give Interesting
Party at Moose Hall Friday Night.

Fifty Jeffrey girls gathered at Moose
hall last night in honor of Miss Maud
Potts who leaves next Saturday for
San Francisco. The event was com
plete surprise to Miss Potts and the
Jeffrey girls deserve special credit for
the clever manner IN which the party
was arranged The color scheme was
yellow and white, the decorations being
jonquils and daffodils, and the party
was one of the prettiest ever held in
this city. The girls presented Miss
Potts with beautiful silver service set
and cut glass fern dish as an express
sion of their regard for her. A minia-
ture California bungalow was the cen
ter of attraction and this was given to
Miss Potts a fitting souvenir of the
evenings entertainment. Tt was dis
tinctly Jeffrey affair and when the
Home Sweet Home dance ended the
girls agreed that the party had been
one of the most successful events of
the season.

TO FIX SCHOOL DISTRICT LIMITS.
Council and School Board Meet in Joint
Session This Afternoon.

Members of the judiciary committee
Of the common council and the members
of the county board Of education met
in adjourned session at the city hall
this evening to take final action on
change Of school districts made neces-
sary by the recent annexation of the
large territory in the western and
southwestern part of the city. The
original petition for the change in the
districts had been amended so that it
provides for taking in all the territory
not at the present time included within
school districts of the city. This will
mean that the new city district viii
run as far west as the Rategan road.
The petition has been signed by the
requisite number of property owners
and there is no doubt but that the
council will be asked to take the prop
er legal steps to change the school dis
trict lines.

made up from tables to be published in
the forthcoming Biennial Report of the
Wisconsin State Highway Commission
While several states in the United
States are now expanding annually
more money for state aid road construc-
ton, it = believed that the total mile
age constructed in Wisconsin in 1914
exceeds the total mileage of permanent
road ever constructed in any one state
in any one year.
In view of the frequent statements
that the cost of state supervision has
been $500 or more, the actual state SUI
pervision cost is of especial interest.
County supervision has been estimated
from reports Of the county highway
commissioners, and is approximately
correct.
We wish to reiterate the assertion
frequently made by this commission
that of all the money collected in state,
county, town, village and city taxes for

any purpose, or in the county treasures
for any purpose. Every cent so raised
must, in accordance with law, be ex-
pended in actual road and bridge con-
struction, the cost of state and coun-
ty supervision being paid out of the
general funds of the state and county
respectively.
Certain counties have received less
from the state highway fund than they
paid into it; certain other counties have
received more. These counties receiv-
ing less have not received less because
the cost Of state supervision was sub
tracted, but have received less because
they asked for less than they paid in,
the amounts not called for by the local
appropriations having gone to other
counties which have received from the
state highway fund more than their
payments into it.

HEARTHREATSTOK|LLA BURN
Evidence Against Two Italians is of an
Unusual Nature and Shows Strong
Hatred for Young Woman Who Had
Refused to Marry Cappello.

Threats of arson and murder were
featured in the preliminary hearing of
Emanuelle Cappello and Vincen0o CT,
mino, charged with arson in the NUM-
cipal court on Thursday afternoon and
at the close of the hearing Judge Ran
dali held the two Italians for trial in
the circuit court and fixed their bonds
at $1,000. The evidence presented by
half dozen witnesses was a strange
mlngllng of love and hate and while
there was no evidence to show that
either Cappello or Cimino had actually
thrown the fire brand which threatened
to destroy the home of Mrs. Catherine
Cerminara on Pearl street on the night
OF January 10th, the circumstantial
evidence against the two men was de-
cidedly strong and it is declared that
any jury which hears the evidence will
ponder long before releasing the men.
Cimlno was facing extradition on
charges of attempted murder. He was
wanted by the officials at Pittsburg and
the warrant for his arrest as sfugi-
tive from justice reached Kenosha lust
before the hearing took place Thursday.
The Kenosha officials will contest the
removal of Cimino to another state I'M
til after the arson cases have been
heard In the circuit court at the open
ing of the March term. The principal
witnesses of the state were Mrs. Ger
minara. her daughter Mary Cerminara

Frank Gerno, arrested Wednesday
Hight for the theft of 1925 and an over
coat from his brother, Joseph Gerno of
Racine, was arraigned in the municipal
court there and pleaded guilty to grand
larceny. Judge Shielding sentenced
him to serve three years in the state
prison at Waupun. In court Gerno said
that he was twenty three years of age,
and had only been out Of the Green
Bay reformatory short time before
he stole the money. He found the 1925
while rummaging through a bureau
drawer while his brothers. wife was
away. The woman had been acting as
a banker for some Of the boarders who
wished to save money to send to the
old country. Gerno took the 1926 and
also an overcoat belonging to his
brother and left Racine. He told the
judge that he came to Kenosha and
stopped at hotel here overnight. In
the morning his 1925 was gone, but he
could not say whether he lost it or if it
had been stolen from him. Needing
money, he sold the overcoat to a man
for $500 This money was also soon
spent and Gerno was in desperate
straits. He went to Racine and APP
piled for shelter overnight at the coun-
ty jail. The Turnkey identified him
and called the police and he was arrest
ed. The police later found the man
who had purchased the overcoat and it
was returned to its rightful owner

MAKE GOOD SHOWING.
Report on Building and Loan Associa-
tions Show Them to be Flourishing.

The annual report of building and
loan associations, made to the governor
by Commissioner of Banking A. E..
Kuolt, on Tuesday, shows a condition
of marked prosperity for these organi-
cations, which now number 70.
/" Notwithstanding the unfavorable
business and financial conditions of the
year, and the consequent heavy with
drawals of funds by stockholders of
these associations, says the report,
the largest annual aggregate increase
of assets was experienced during
1914
Assets at the end of the year to-
tailed $4,000, 881.63, as compared with
$40, 456, 1920 on Dec. 81, 1913, a gain
of 1854, 38263. The percentage of
increase was IT'S for the year, as COM
pared with 20 for 1913, and .1S3 for
1912.
Thirty-six of the 70 associations are
in Milwaukee county. The increase in
business of these organizations had
been slow up to 1908. In the last six
years it has been marked. The COM
missioner attributes it to the fact that
the confidence of the public in these
institutions has been restored because
of careful state supervision and exam
nation under strict laws.
The number of members reported on
Dec. 81, 1914, was 1854, an increase
of 1862 for the year. The number Of
shares of installment stock in force was
324, 1888, an increase of 47,796 shares.
The number of shares of paid-up stock
in force was 1926, an increase Of
4,162. The gross earnings of all of the
associations amounted to 1919, 1864 in
1914, and the gross operating expense
was $124,002.90. The ratio of operat-
ing expenses to stock holdings and
profits on the first Of the present year
was approximately 1.3 per cent. Inter
est paid to banks and individuals out
side of the associations on moneys
loaned to the associations amounted to
$52,306.14 during the year. The com
bined contingent loss or reserve fund
was $150,03409, an increase of $22,-
65l.25 in such funds, which, the report
says, represents ''just that much added
protection to the invested funds Of the
associations.
Only the Mutual Loan and Building
association of Appleton is in liquida-
ton.
Only minor changes to the law are
suggested. Investments Of these as
sociations are limited by law to first
mortgages on real estate located in the
counties where the associations are sit
uated, the intention being to make the
loans "iocal. y Because this limita-
ton unnecessarily reduces the legiti-
mate felo of operations of these associ-
atoms, Commissioner Kuolt recon-
mends that a radius rather than a
county line be provided as territorial
limit. 1t is also suggested that the
statutory form Of bond for officers of
associations be corrected to meet valid
objections to the present form. Stats
tical tables accompany the report.

SMALL CHANCE FOR CREDITORS.
Stock of Bresler Store Brings but 1926
When Sold on Friday Afternoon.

There is no reason to believe that the
creditors of the Bresler store will re-
ceiye any large amount on their claims
on the stock of the store as it was sold
at auction on Friday afternoon and the
amount received seems to indicate that
the creditors will receive dividend
of about half cent on the dollar.
The stock was sold by Attorney George
W. Taylor under an agreement with the
creditors, to William Kahn, north
side merchant and the total cash re-
celved under the sale was 1926. Of
this amount 3. A. Fishman, the proprie-
tor of the store, claimed his legal ex-
emption of $500 and there is to be paid
the expense of the sale and the attor-
ney fees SO hat the total to be divided
among the creditors will be in the
neighborhood Of $50 The claims
against the store are said to be in ex-
cess of $4,000.

GETS NEW RULING.
Deputy Oil Inspector Babcock Notified
as to Containers for Gasoline.


Deputy Oil Inspector Fred G. Bah
cock has orders from the state oil
inspector, Louis F. Meyer, calling at
tention to the new regulations in re-
gard to containers for gasoline and
benzine. The order is an imperative
one and a careful perusal of it will
probably save prosecutions. The
order is as follows:
cit follows from the authorities
above quoted that every dealer, wheth-
er at wholesale or retail, in gasoline,
benzine or naphtha, in this state,
whether he be the importer or any
ther person, can keep or sell such pro-
ducts only In the containers mentioned
in the statute, which are painted YER
million red, and any such person keep
ing such high explosive products in a
container painted any other color may
be prosecuted under the provisions of
section 1910. Conversely, any such
dealer, whether importer or any other
person, who keeps or sells kerosene In
any centainer painted red also offends
against the provisions of section 1421o
and may be prosecuted Hereunder.
This also applies to all persons keep
ing for use or using the petroleum pro-
ducts mentioned in section 142Io, as
the provisions Of that section apply to
the users of such petroleum products as
well as dealers therein. =
