SAYS SPECTATORS FATTEN.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Fortunes are be-
ing made in this vicinity while the peo-
pie are compelled to pay more for the
necessities of life, is the charge made
by Neal p Olson, secretary OF the
Southern California Retail Grocers' as
sociation. He declares that the present
high prices here are partly due to the
fact that large quantities of eggs and
vegetables are being held for higher
prices and are being released only in
small.lots. Olson cites one Los Angeles
warehouse as containing $4,000 sacks OF
sugar. This, he says. is being held for
eastern markets. He says the food in
storage here is approximately 100000
sacks sugar, 6.OOO sacks coffee, 20 car
loads flour, 90 carloads potatoes, $50
carloads of onions.

WANT CHINESE LABORERS.

Vancouver, British olumbia.-Fruit
growers have asked the authorities to
remove the $500 head tax on Chinese
because Orientals who are here are "dic
tating their own terms"
To remedy this condition the fruit
growers want all bars removed that the
province may be flooded with Chinese
and other Orientals who will beat down
the living standards Of even the Chinese
already here. The government is also
asked to prohibit land owning in any
form by Orientals.

RAIL ACCIDENTS INCREASE.

Harrisburg, Increased activity
and speeding up in all lines of trade
is responsible for increased steam rail-
road accidents which jumped 2s per
cent in 1916 over the previous year. The
year 1915 showed an increase in these
gruesome figures over the comparatively
idle year of 1914; the increase last year
was even bigger, Figures compiled by
the public service commission show that
the total number of accidents on steam
roads in 1916 was II, ,661, against Oil in
1915. These ranged from minor acci-
dent resulting in only decorations or
bruises up to the slaughter in a col
lson or grade-crossing accident.

man for Lake View in the days when
the candidates were named in party
caucuses and conventions He was long
a leader in the twenty-ffth ward.
In 1904 he was strong enough and
spoke for sufficient number of dele
gates from the north side to sit at the
caucus and help frame the county slate.
They got into jam. over the nominee
for sheriff and finally it was suggested
that he take it himself as the easiest
and shortest way out of the middle.
He was nominated and elected and
served from 1904 to 1908.
While in the sheriff s office he began
looking around for an investment, and,
forming wide acquaintance out in the
state, because of his prominence in
state conventions, he decided to go in
to the coal mining business.
Large tracts of coal land in the
southern part Of the state we're brought
under his control through options.
Much of it lay for years undeveloped.
he became, finally, president of the
Chicago and Carterville Coal Company,
and was the guiding spirit in the or
ganization up to within short time
OF his death.
He associated himself with the Den
cen revolt that resulted in the nomina-
ton of the state IS attorney Of Cook
county for governor, for he had come
to the conclusion that the old organi-
zation was in for drubbing, particu-
larly in Cook county.
It was then that he parted compan-
with the Lorimer-J Jameson Hanecy or
ganization on the south side, and later,
when Fred Busse took the ninth con-
gressional district under his wing, com
prising the present twenty first, twenty
second, twenty-third and twenty-fourth
wards, Pease formed coalition with
him and a friendship that endured to
the day of Busse' s death.
He is survived by his widow, one son,
William J. Pease, and three daughters,
Mrs. Paul Mantonya, Mrs. Harry Wynn
and Mrs. Sydney S. sennott, all of
Chicago.
The arrangements for the funeral
are being made today and it is prob
able that the remains will be taken to
the old home at Wilmot for burial on
Saturday.

QUICK WORK FOR POLICE
Frank Mrotek Of Manitowoc and AL NJ
Norton Arrested at Market Square
Two Hours After Stealing New
Automobile from Milwaukee Street.

There is always some one taking the
ioy out of life and Police Officer Beth
of the Kenosha force proved the kill
lioyV for Frank Mrotek who claimed
ManitOWoc as his home, and AL M.
Norton Of 1894 Second street, Milwau-
kee, lust before ten clock last night
when the two young fellows drove an
automobile right into the muzzle of a
revolver held by the officer. The little
ceremony took place at the corner OF
Market Square and Main street and
two minutes later the two men were
up at the police station booked for
grand larceny and being searched.
E'We just went out for joy ride, +"
Norton told the police officers. "You
will probably get another kind Of a
ride,' was the response of the officers
as they led the two well dressed young
fellows down to the city lookup where
they were held until Milwaukee detec-
tives camC this morning and took them
back to that city to answer a
charge Of stealing new Mitchell
seven passenger automobile from the
Star Taxi Company of Milwaukee.
1t was handsome new car and the
two men who got it had made record
time speeding between Milwaukee and
Kenosha. "We were loafng about the
corner of Fourth street and Grand
avenue and watching the people going
to the show said Norton, who de-
clared that he was eighteen years old,
and we saw the people drive up in
the automobile. They went into the
show and we sauntered over and got
into the car. Tt was a bully self
starter and everything else, and it
looked so easy that we just started it
up and got away with it. We got to
Racine and then we decided to come on
to Kenosha expecting to get back to
Milwaukee before the show was over. "
1T was just five minutes before the
two men were captured that Captain
John Cyzak up at the police Office re-
ceived call from Milwaukee asking
that the local police look out for the
automobile thieves. He got Beth at
the Main street corner box. "Wait a
minute" shouted Beth, ''here is fell
low coming to beat the band'' Drop
ping the receiver Of the telephone Beth
walked out into the middle of the
street and signalled the men to stop.
Norton, who was driving the car,
shouted to the officer, What in the
devil is the matter with you" go, l
just wanted to look you over" Beth
responded and with that Norton put
his foot on the accelerator and started
to give the automobile the "juice +"
Wait just a minute" Beth responded
and he emphasized his demand for de-
lay by pointing his rather vicious look
ing revolver at the head of the driver.
The man s foot came off the clutchaand
the driver said, F'You know all about it
do you?'' and with that the little party
started for the police Office.
Norton and Mrotek spent considera-
BILE time trying to convince the police
officers that they had just gone F'joy-
riding" and that they intended to take
the car back. ''Tell it to the Judge"
was the response Of Captain Cyztk.
"Take 'em down stairs" was his
further order to be police officers

Kenosha started off to the music of
war for the first time on last Saturday
night when a parade was held to boost
the recruiting for the new infantry
troop of the Wisconsin National Guard
Tt was matter of considerable interest
to down town Kenosha and had the

dreds of young men present to join the
National Guard or the army. They as
serted that there was no doubt that
guardsmen would play big part in the
defense of the nation in case of actual
warfare. The meeting was one feat
ured by great enthusiasm.

LONG REPUBLICAN LEADER
Fame Gained in Political Work Made
Him One of County's Best Known
Men in World at Large-Painter's
Leadership Won Fame and Fortune.

James Pease, who gained more dis
tinction in the political world than any
man ever sent out from Kenosha coun-
ty, died at his home in Chicago on
Wednesday afternoon at the age of Sc
years.
Pease was born in the village of Will
mot in the town of Salem, July II,
1851 and grew up in this section of
Kenosha county. He began life as a
painter and paper hanger out in Will
mot and then went to Chicago to get
a broader field for his efforts. This
was more than forty years ago and
when he died, he was given credit for
having been one of the Biggest
Chiefs of the Republican party in
Chicago and Illinois.
Big Jim was millionaire and the
best part of it all is that he went
through nearly forty years Of political
activity and kept his record clean. He
won his fortune not through political
graft, but through taking advantage of
acquaintance which came with politi-
cal activity and converting this adj
vantage into wealth.
Pease was poor man for many years
and worked at his trade as a paper
hanger and painter in Chicago.
Then he got to dabbling in politics
up in the ola Lake View territory and
the leaders one day put him on the
ticket for assessor. He was elected and
served in that Office nine consecutive
terms, pushing himself to the front in
party councils and becoming the spokes-
