children. Lilley disappeared from Ke-
nosha on August 10th and since that
time the police have been searching for
him. The police declare that when he
gets back in Kenosha he may be called
on to answer other charges, as it is
alleged by the police officers that when
Lilley left Kenosha he took with him
a young girl of tender age and that let
tiers received from the young woman
indicate that the two have been living
together in Milwaukee. It was on the
complaint of the father of this, young
woman that the police urged the search
before. the wife of Lilley secured a
warrant charging him with desertion.
The message from Milwaukee does not
bring any word as to whether, or not
the young woman was with Lilley at
the time Of his arrest. The letters sent
from the young woman indicated that
she and Lilley were together in Milwau-
kee and they had declared that they
were very happy in their new relations.
The young woman told Of carrying the
noon day lunch to Lilley and it was
asserted by her parents who complained
to the police, that she had believed that
Lilley was unmarried. The parents Of
the young woman have asked the police
to have her returned to Kenosha.

kenosha county's big court house
was still very much up in the air today
but White, White and White, the ar
chitects who made plans for the build
ipg had come down an $500 notch
from the aerial flights.
Just before noon today after a long
session Of the building committee, the
board disposed of the question of the
payment of the architects in just about
two minutes. The report Of the com
mittee recommended that the architects
be paid the sum of $500 at this time
with the understanding that the board
did not accept the plans and specifca-
tions for the building and with the
further understanding that this pay
ment was not accepting liability on the
part of the county for other portions
of the contract with the architects.
There was no protest on the part of the
architect to this plan. The report stip-
ulated that under the payment the
plans and specifications as made by the
architects were to become the property
Of the county of Kenosha. This propo-
sition seemed to make no cause for OBJ
jections. OF course it is understood
that If the plans are used by the county
for the building of the court house,
that the architects will be paid in full
OF their contract. The architects had
asked for ten thusand dollars at this,
but the committee had declined to
recommend this amount as it was held
that the amount could not be paid
without the County Board accepting the
plans and specifications.
Chairman Scott of the committee, de-
clared that before the session of the
board closed this afternoon the com
mittee would ask authorization 10 have
definite estimate of the cost of the
building, according to the plans Of the
White company at a cost Of $4,000.
1t was held by members Of the com
mittee that an estimate could not be
secured by submission to bids without
the board accepting the plans and
specifications.
The general opinion seemed to pre-
vail that the work of building the court
house might be held up for some until
the members of the board got some
definite facts as to costs. 1t was said
that there had been many protests
against the construction Of any building
which would run into the 'tbig money 2
suggested and at the same time it was
intimated that many of the members
of the board had about reached the con
clusion that it would be impossible for
the county to get the kind Of court
house it wanted for less than d million
dollars as the cost of the superstruc.
ture and the furniture.

NO EXTENSION OF
SALISBURY ACT

No effort will be made by the Sem
ate District OF Columbia Committee
TO extend the provisions OF the Sauls-
bury resolution beyond the term fixed
in the present measure. Notice to
this effect was given on the floor OF
the Senate today by Senator Sauls-
bury himself.
The effect OF this decision by the
District Committee will undoubtedly
be to prevent any legislation extend
ing. the Salisbury act. The Sauls-
bury measure will terminate when
peace is proclaimed. and the relations
between landlord and tenant in the
District will then become normal.
The Senate District Committee held
meeting last week, but did not get
o quorum. Senator Salisbury said
there was an informal discussion and
II was the consensus of opinion that
the Salisbury act should not be ex-
tended.
Senator Salisbury said it had been
deemed advisable for him to make a
statement on the floor of the Senate
so as to give notice to the people OF
the District, including landlords and
tenants. that there would be a re-
turn to normal conditions with re-
Spect to rentals az soon as the war
emergency was ended by the proclaim
alton of peace.
1T is desirable that the conditions
in Washington should be restored to
