Wilson, Stops
Plan to Halt
German Relief
Tells American Commanders to Disre-
gard Orders of British to Blockade
Germany and Shut Of Food.
lR4 United Pressl

Adinkerke, Belgium, June IS =
President Wilson has ordered all
American vessels unloading in German
ports to disregard British orders to
cease discharging their eargoes, it was
learned today. American naval YES
sells, it was said, were also ordered to
disregard British order for re
establishment of the blockade of Ger
many. The President IS action was
understood to have been taken prior to
his departure from Paris last night for
Brussels. News of the British move
was said to have aroused feeling, since
the supreme economic council which
has charge of blockade operations-is
said not to have been consulted.
Through modification of the German
blockade the allies have been sending
food into Germany for some time.
Much of this goods was shipped from
the United States in American bot
toms. The above dispatch is the first
intimation received in this country that
Great Britain had undertaken TO re-
establish complete blockade.

DEMOS BROTHERS
BUY Big BUILDING
Gonnermann Building On
North East Corner of Main
and Market Sold To
Them On Tuesday.
MAY BUILD A SKY SCRAPER
Property Is Taken over AS An Invest
ment and Present Homes Of Candy
Kitchens WILL Not Be Changed
Corner One Of Best In City.


The biggest real estate deal in years
IN Main street property was closed up
on Tuesday afternoon when Demos
Brothers, owners of the Elite and the
American Candy Kitchen purchased
from Charles H. Gonnermann the three
story brick store and office building at
the northeast corner of Main and Mar
ket streets. The consideration was not
made public but it was declared to be
satisfactory to both parties.
The transfer of the property will
be made at once and it is prob
able that in the near future the pur-
chasers of the property will announce
plans for improvements either of the
present building or the erection of a
new building. 1t is possible that the
site will furnish the location for Ke-
nosha's first sky scraper. II The
ground floor of the building is now
under lease for term of three years
and the Williams Drug Company will
continue to occupy the building. The
corner is considered one Of the most
valuable pieces Of business property
in the city.
I" We cannot announce any plans in
connection with the purchase of the
property at this time, ;, said Peter
Demos in speaking of the purchase.
Of course we will improve the prop
erty to meet the advancement Of the
city but it is improbable that these
changes will be made until after the
present leases on the property have
expired. We. are for Kenosha and any
money we may have will be in
vested here.
The Elite will not move from it's
present quarters. The Demos Brothers
have long lease on the building which
is just opposite to the one purchased
and it is intimated that some time in
the future it will extend its lease hold
to include other property adjoining the
big portion OF the building now in use.
The report that large bank build
ing was to be erected at the corner is
not confirmed by the owner of the
property or by the bank which was
mentioned with the report. It is adj
mitted that there had been some nego-
tiations along this line but these nego-
tiations were not brought to a sue
cessful conclusion.
It is admitted that a demand for
leases of Main street property is MAX
ing the active market for this property
decidedly brisk and it is expected that
a number of transfers will be made
about the first Of July.

j. L. Toner, former resident of Pleas
ant Prairie and who was adjudicated
insane and sent to the state hospital
at Mendoza a week ago lsat Saturday,
has escaped from that institution and
a wide search is now being made to
locate him and have him returned to
the institution. Letters telling of the
escape Of Toner from the state insti-
tuition were received by relatives of the
unfortunate man in Kenosha this morn
ing. They announced that Toner had
escaped from the hospital some time
last Saturday night and that his dis
appearance had not been discovered UNI
til Sunday morning. Toner is a re
markedly clever fellow and it is
thought that the officials will find it
very difficult to locate him. Just as
soon as it was learned that the young
man had left the hospital officials here
were directed to be on the lookout for
him, buGsit is not expected that he will
come to Kenosha. Thoroughly able to
do lot of things, it is thought
that Toner will have little trouble
keeping out Of the way of the people
searching for him.
Toner has a considerable amount of
property and an action is now pend
ing in the County Court of Kenosha

pital he had shown willingness to

ficials and he had shown no desire to

FIND STOLEN BOOZE
IN A RABBIT COOP
Samuel Poll is Formally Charged With
the Robbery of the Maciejewsd
Saloon Sunday Morning.

Samuel Poll of North Ridge street
was formally charged with burglary
this morning following the discovery Of
four bottles of HsOld Taylor" in a
rabbit coop back of the house where
Poll is rooming.
The robbery, in which the accused
man is believed to have been at least
an accomplish, was committed early on
Sunday morning when Tony Maciejew-
ski Is saloon at the corner of Lyman
avenue and Albert streets was entered
via cellar window The burglar made
his getaway with eight bottles of "old
Taylor" and five dollars in cash taken
from the cash register.
A few hours alter Poll was arrested
on suspicion by Officers Wade, Rupp
and Kautenberg and placed in the city
jail pending an investigation.
The latter reached climax on Tues.
day afternoon when Officers Meissner
and Wade found four bottles of cold
Taylor slowed away in rabbit coop
at the rear of Polls home on Ridge
street. It is said that one of the bot
ties had been broken and that several
Of the rabbits were little wobbly
when the officers approached. The
booze in addition to long police rec-
ord were sufficient evidence to lead the
officers to prefer charges against Poll
and to bind him over for trial at the
next term of court.
Following the preferment of the
formal charges of burglary Poll was
released on thousand dollar bond.,s
