Washington, Mar. 6. That
Nicholai Lenine, bolshevik prime
minister, is deliberately attempt
ing to deliver revolutionary Rus
STA into the hands Of the Germans,
is the substance of highly import
ant communications received in
Washington today from an unques-
tionable but confidential source.
The communication shows also that
Lenine is simultaneously trying to
arouse the Russians against the
militarism of the allies.o This
latest development in the ever
changing Russian turmoil is par
ticularly significant in view Of the
Japanese threat in Siberia. The
communication received today is,
In part, as follows: .'Lenine takes
the stand that there must be no
agitation against German militar-
ism, but that agitation should CON
tinue against the militarism of the
nations at war with Germanys He
is using every influence to have
the new peace treaty terms (be-
tween Germans and the bolshevik
spokesmen) obeyed in all particu-
lars of non-interference with Ger
many"

CHICAGO OFFICIAL,
CHECKS UP BAD BOYS
Chicago Seeks Facts in Regard
to Auto Thieves.

Samuel Marsh, one Of the probation
officers of the juvenile court in Chi
cago, was in Kenosha today seeking
further information in regard to Harry
Seiffert, Merritt Williams and David
Barehet, the three Chicago boys who
were sent to state institutions after
they had pleaded guilty to charges of
stealing an automobile belonging to
Walter M. Burke. Marsh declares
that young Seiffert is a member of
well known family in Chicago and that
his relatives are of the opinion that
some examination should be made into
his mental condition We are not IL
any way seeking to interfere with the
carrying out of the sentence of Judge
Tully,' declared Mr. Marsh Judge
Tully has acted wisely, but we will
probably ask the officials of the Wau-
kesha institution to have Seiffert
treated for mental deficiency. We
want to cooperate with Wisconsin
officials IN every way and at the
same time do what we can to save
these boys for useful lives.n

Madison, Wis, Mar. 6 - The

this morning, after being locked in
the chamber since 7 o clock last

breakfast under guard of the ser

LaFollette, refused even to enter
into a gentlemen IS agreement and

IDENTIFIED is MISS CARNEY
Brother-in-Law Identifies Body as That
of Miss Hannah Carney Who Disap.
peared from Her Home at Russell
On December First. 81

Another tragedy Of Lake Michigan,
was solved today when Joseph Moore,
who was walking along the beach just.
north of Park Row on Durkee Avenue,
about noon, found the almost nude
body of womGn lying on the beach
where it had been lately given up by
the waves. The body was badly decom-
posed and evidently had been in the
lake for two or three months; the top
of the head had been entirely washed
away by the water and all clothing had
been torn from the body with the ex-
ception of a portion of a blue green
skirt still clinging about the waist OF
the body. Coroner Millager was called
and the remains were taken
to the Hansen morgue where they were
identified by Albert Wachs as the body
of his sister-in-law, Miss Hannah Car
ney, who disappeared from her home in
Hussell about the first of December.
Miss Hannah Carney left her home in
Russell on December the first to visit
her sister, Mrs. Albert Wachs, of Keno
sha, and strangely disappeared after
she had been left on the platforms of
the railroad station by her brother.
Search has been made for her through
out Kenosha ana adjoining counties and
FOR several weeks Ter friends and rela-
tives had gwen up any hope Of her re.
turn.
More than year ago Miss Carney
was overcome by gas at LONE on Park
Avenue where she was working as
maid and she had never fully recovered
from the effects of the asphyxiation.
This incident had occurred in such
way as to suggest suicide and her
friends had feared that her disappear
ance meant that she had thrown her.
self into the lake.
Miss Carney, who had lived all her
life near the town of Russell, was en-
ployed in the homes of many of the best
families of the city, where she was
universally respected. She was known
as very extraordinary young woman
hut had suffered seriously in the past
year from nervous and mental strain.
During the past year she had lived
at Russell with her parents and at the
time. of her disappearance it was
thought that she had entirely recovered
from her illness.
Miss Carney was daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Carney of Russell and d
sister of Mrs. Albert Wachs of this
city. She is also survived by brothers
and sisters in the town Of Russell. No
definite arrangements have been made
ment of them will be made later.

This Morning.

Alleging that his wife, way over in
Russia had lost interest in her :.us
band, Gottlieb Schultz, who has been
a resident of Kenosha for the past FIVE
years, filed suit in the Municipal
Court this morning asking divorce

tiers sent to her by the plaintiff. In
his complaint Schultz declares that
the last heard from his wife was three
years ago when he sent her money for
her support, but that since that time
no answer has come to letters which
have been sent to her. Schultz asks
that the court award him the custody
of two minor children who are still
with their mother in Russia. The hrs-
band is represented by Attorney
Frank S. Symmonds and the hearing
of the case will be taken up at the
next term of the Municipal Court.

Epidemic of Lagrippe Plays Havoc With
Schedule of Glasses at the Cen
trail High School.

Some sort of an epidemic waichi
seems a mild form of the lagrippe,.
struck the Kenosha High school soday
and as result nearly two scores e1
students left for their homes this
morning. A larger percentage of alb
sence was also reported and the sched-
ule of the classes was badly interfered
with during the entire day. The
authorities stated THAT none of the
students are reported as being serious
" Ill and dismissing them from school
was taken merely as a precautionary
measure. All students who seemed at
all affected by the malady-whatever
it was-were dismissed so that there
is absolutely no danger from infection
by attendance now. The epidemic is
so light that it is thought that it will
not cause the absence of the pupils for
more than a few days.

Madison, Mar. 6-Early this af
ternoon the Wisconsin state legis-
lature went on record as condemn
ing the war-attitude of Senator
Robert LaFollette, when the lower
house of the assembly approved
the Wilcox amendment TO the
loyalty pledge by a vote of 5S to
81. Tie denunciation of the Sem
ator came as the climax of
seventeen hour session, the longest
in the history of the Wisconsin
legislature The Senate passed
+. the Wilcox amendment more than
a week ago, but the House had been
dead-loeked on the measure until
last night when Speaker Whittet
proposed and appointed comprom-
Use committees, which should draft
and present the Rosa and Smith
amendments. Thereafter these
bodies retired to their separate
sanctums and reported to the gen
eral session this morning. Debate
on either side was confined to
forty-fve minutes. Stirring speeches
were made by various assemblymen
after which the Smith amend
ment was rejected by vote Of 80
to 81 while the Rosa proposal pass
ed, II to IS. Subsequently the
Wilcox amendment was approved
by vote of SO to 80. Assembly
man Vincent from Kenosha county

thereby went on record as an OPP
ponent Of the questionable speeches
and practices of Senator LaFollette.
