DANGEROUS LUNATIC
ABROAD IN KENOSHA
Police Seek Through the City for Trace
of Man Who Escaped from the
Elgin Insane Asylum.

Every nook and corner of KenoshS
was being searched by the police officers
today in an effort TO find some trace of
man by the name of Applebee" who
escaped from the Illinois asylum for the
insane at Elgin on Monday. Applebee
has two daughters in Kenosha and he
appeared at the home of one of them
on Tuesday but escaped from the house
before the police could be notified.
The man is ffty-two years of age and
he was formerly an inventor, before
he was sent to the asylum from Chicago.
He is said to be carrying about one of
his patents with him. The police have
been advised that Applebee is a very
dangerous character and this fact has
caused them to be cautious. The daugh-
ters of the man are aiding the police
in every possible way in the effort to
locate him.

Food Inspector DR.. w. E.
Nelson Gives Bakers a
Week to Obey Ordinance
Passed by Council.
NO. EXCUSES ACCEPTED now
inspector Claims that there is Plenty
of Paper to be Secured to Wrap Bread
as Provided by Ordinance and
Must Comply.

The old question Of the bread wrap
ping ordinance bobbed up serenely
again this morning when Food Inspec-
tor DR.. w. E. Nelson of the City Health
Department served formal notice on
every baker in the city that the ordi-
nance relating to the wrapping of
bread will be enforced to the letter.
Under the order from the health de-
pertinent the bakers are given just
one week in which to comply fully with
the provisions of the ordinance.
The order from the health board will
be welcomed by many Of the bakers Of
the city as these men have fully com
piled with all the provisions of the ordi-
nance since its passage. A few bakers
have resented the efforts of the city
to protect the bread supply and In
spector, Nelson insists that these men
will be prosecuted to the limit.
"During the wars said DIR. Nelson
"some of the bakers protested that
it was impossible to live up to the pro-
visions of the ordinance on account of
tie shortage of paper. They asserted
that they found it impossible to secure
paper in which to wrap the bread.
BE this as it may noticed that lot
of the bakers found a way to follow
the provisions of the ordinance and
these men did not charge a cent more
for their bread than the other bakers
Now the war is over, / take it that pa
per is plentiful and that the excuse
formally given viii no longer apply
have notified the bakers that every
provision Of the ordinance must be
complied with and that they viii have
jusa one week from today to start com
plying"
The bread wrapping ordinance has
been under the fire Of the bakers ever
since it was passed The opposition
to it has come especially from bakers
under the ownership Of foreign born
Recently it is declared that some OF
these people have paid no attention Il
the ordinance and that unwrapped
bread has been thrown on the floor Of
dirty delivery wagons and handled
without any seeming idea that it was
to be used as a food product.
In addition to the bakers stores
handling bread have been notified that
the provisions FOR wrapping the bread
must be observed to the letter.

Berne, Mar. 5.-Alarming conditions
exist at Halle, which has recently be-
come the center of Bolshevism in CEN
trail Germany. The Reds and the Ebert
ians are fighting with machine guns
in the streets of the city and are en-
gaging in the most sanguinary COMETS
in the neighborhood of public buildings
and other strategic points. In the
fighting on Monday evening thirty civil
ians were killed according to the re-
ports of an aviator who left Halle
shortly after the rioting began. The
government troops were apparently
gaining control of the situation late
Tuesday afternoon. The Spartacans in
desperation threw captured govern
ment officers into the River Saale and
stood placidly by while they drowned
in the turbulent waters of the swollen
stream. Thereafter they fled from the
city taking with them all the govern
ment and municipal funds to which they
could get access. The government
troops Immediately proclaimed the city
in state of seige and began the peril
GUS work of restoring order among a
blood crazed populace.

KenOsha Republicans Re-
ceiye Booklets Boosting
Illinois Governor for
Presidency.
OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN HERE
Announcement Starts Presidential
Speculation in Kenosha Political Cir
cles-Makes Great Record as War
Governor of Neighboring State.

Governor Frank o. Lowden of lille
nois may not have the presidential
bee in his bonnet'' but his friends
are interested in his possibilities as
presidential timber. This was clearly
shown today when prominent Kenosha
Republicans received booklets placing
tne Illinois governor as the first in
the field as a possibility for the presi-
Dental nomination of the Republican
party in 1920.
The letter accompanying the booklet
explained that while cit was uncer-
tain whether or not Governor Lowden
would be candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination his friends are very
much interested in publishing the story
of his good works in Illinois,. Ke-
ncshans who received the pamphlet are
taking it as the opening shot of the
Lowden boom for the presidency and
while not prepared to make any state
ment on the candidacy showed that
they were very much interested In it.
Governor Lcwdsn has @ee 3 oraat
record Is i s5vln s. 51 8it9ss
and the fact that his friends wouil
urge him for the presidency has been
expected. The book relates how more
than fifty years ago as boy he trudg-
e2 behind the prairie schooner of his
father, a pioneer settler of Min
nesota. The story of how he gained
an education against great odds and
rose as lawyer to prominence in Chi
cago is also told in the book. AS Gov
ernor of Illinois he has lead in the
worl- for good roads for that state and
has made Illinois very efficient in ev-
en- war activity.
The announcement received in Ke-
nosha this morning started political
tongues wagging anew and furnished a
real start for the 1920 campaign so far
as Kenosha is concerned. The book
lets concerning the Illinois governor
will be passed around among the lead
ing Republicans of this county and it
is believed that it will show that he
has many supporters in this county.

the weather man put over on Kenosha

was heard this morning. The city felt

GOES TO ORGANIZE
BUFFALO PLANT
Clark S. Judd Picked To
Have Charge of Great
Work for the American
Brass Company.
Returns TO kENOsHA LATER
Assurance is Given that the Absence of
Mr.. Judd from Kenosha will not be
Permanent Has Been Very Active
in Civic Work.

Clark S. Judd, General Superintend-
emit OF the Kenosha plant of the Amer
lean Brass Company has been selected
for a very important mission by the
General officers Of the American Brass
company and he left Kenosha today
for Buffalo, New York, to have charge
OF the reorganization of a great plant
IN Buffalo which was recently acquired
by the great brass making organiza-
ton The plant is one of the largest
brass making plants in the country
covering q larger acreage than the Ke-
nosha plant Of the company. 1t was
taken over purely as a "war plant y
and 1t is now to be organized on peace
basis with a view Of making it one of
the great manufacturing and distribut-
ing centers of the American Brass Com
pany. Superintendent Judd may be
absent from Kenosha for many months
but at the Office of the company here
it. was announced that it was not the
plan to have him give up his position
and fourth between Buffalo and Keno
sha off and onn was the statement
made at the Office of the company this
morning "and it is not the plan Of the
company at the present time to have
him leave Kenosha permanently. What
may develop in the future no one
knows. The Buffalo plant is to be a
very large concern and Superintendent
Judd is to have charge of the re-organ-
izations of it on the peace time, basis.
Other than this no announcement can
be made at this time''
The announcenent Of the possibility
Of Mr.. Judd leaving Kenosha brought
deep regret among the people who had
been in close touch with his work along
industrial and civic lines in the city.
Probably no other man has contributed
so much to the work Of Kenosha in
meeting the big problems of the war.
Mr. Judd was the man who proposed
the tFKenosha Plan7 and he served
with distinction on the general COM
mittee in charge Of the disbursing of
the large fund collected by this organ
| ization. He gave wide study to war
relief and his opinion on all matters
relating to the work Of the ftPatriot Is
Fun" proved Of greatest value in
making the Kenosha plan the success
that it was. He served as a member
of the Kenosha County Council of De-
Tense. He was member of the Labor
Board on the council and took a great
interest in the work of Americaniza-
tion as outlined by the Chamber OF
Commerce committee and other organi-
zations. His work at Buffalo will pro
badly make it necessary for him to
give ND his work in all Of these or
CARNATIONS in Kenosha as he will spend
much of his time in Buffalo for the
greater part Of a year. Mr.. Judd =
family will not accompany him to Buff
falo but they will continue to make
