Joseph Luck Held By Police
Pending An Investigation
OF Strange Collection
In Grip.
POLICE SAY CONFIDENCE man
Luck Declares That He is An Automo>
bile Worker and That He Had Press
Type and Lot of Other Things
''Just for Fun''.

Joe Luck was out Of luck in Kenosha
today. he said that his home is in
Detroit but he is temporarily living
with the police officers over at Central
station while some Investigations are
being made in regard to strange col.
lection Of articles which the police
found in his grip following his being
picked up at hotel on Market street
this morning by police officer Fred
Bradley Chief O'Hare said that he
felt morally certain that Luck was a
confidence WORKER but he was nos
charged with anv crime greater than
suspicion on the arrest sheet and the
police officers over at Detroit have
besg asked to arnnlv such aissins 4.
formation as may give the loc0l police
a chance TO act more intelligently on
the question.
Here are some Of the things found
IN the grip which was in the room of
Luck. A squeeze printing press, such
as the police declare they have seen
used before in "making money!;
case containing some twenty bottles
which appeared to contain some form
of chemicals, a whole font of type;
printing inks of various colors, an
India ink pen and brush, a quantity
of fine bond paper which appeared to
be cut TO the exact size of bank note,
a dozen decks of cards, thirty-two
calibre revolver, with ammunition to
go with it. Several bottles filled with
"beauty aids'' and collection Of
pictures, powders, and acids.
Luck was not talkative when he
was examined by the police and he de-
clared that he conld not say just what
use he was going to make Of the press
the ink and the type. He asserted that
all Of the articles had been bought in
Detroit and that he had brought them
with him to Kenosha when he came
here four days ago. He said that
he was a worker on drill press and
that he hoped to get employment at one
of the motor car making plants in Ke-
nosha.
In response to the question of the
police as to why he carried the arti-
cles his stock answer was "just for
fun.O
Luck is a Russian and he evidently
has brother living in Denver, Col, to
whom he had telegraphed for money.
He had only a small sum of money in
his pockets, but the telegram from his
brother indicated that other money
had been sent him.
If Luck is a confidence man as the
police believe it is certain that he had
not piled his profession in Kenosha as
the apparatus found in the grip was
all just is good as new and it evident
ly had not been used. It is just posi-
bic that the Federal officials in Mil
waukee viii be invited to come to Ke-
nosha and take a look at Luck s bag
gage before the local police go any fur
ther with the case.

tion concluded in time to have the men
take q train which viii get them into
Chicago early in the afternoon. If
possible the men will be sent to Ke-
nosha before six O'Clock in the even
ing. The uncertainty of the time that
they may leave the camp for home
has prompted the committee to make ar
engagements to signal their return by
the sounding of the siren at the water
works. This whistle will be blown
with all its power at the exact minute
that the train leaves Chicago bringing
the Kenosha men on the last lap of
their homeward journey and this will
give the people Of the city full hour
to get up to the station and extend tbe
welcome home greeting.
The reception to the returning sol
diers is not going to be a formal
one. These boys will want to 90 home
before they go anywhere else and the
members Of the committee appreciate
this. However, it is planned to well
come them home in the same manner
that Kenosha sent them away.
Both the SINCE and the Nash band
will be on hand to play at the station
and it is the plan Of the committee to
have an automobile in waiting to take
every soldier to mis- home. If these
boys want to eat dinner as the guests

LAKE COMPANY
GETSBIG CONTRACT
Board Of Education Award
ed Contract For School
Coal To Lake Fuel Com
pany Of Kenosha.
MAKES A SAVING OF s1,275
Delivery of Coal In Bins AT Schools
Makes Possible a Large Reduction In
the Price Only Local Bids
Are Considered.

The Lake Fuel Company of Kenosha
will supply coal for the bunkers Of the
schools of the city during the coming
year, as at an adjourned meeting Of
the Board of Education held on Tues
day evening this company was award
ed a contract for one thousand tons
of Franklin county mine run energy
coal, delivered in the bins at the school
buildings, at a price Of $5.05 ton, and
for fifteen hundred tons Of six-inch lump
Franklin county coal, delivered in the
bins, at price of $685. ton.
The cost Of the coal to the School
Board under this bid is about $1,275
less than it would have been under bids
which were considered by the board a
week ago. 1t was figured that the sec
ond call for bids resulted in saving of
tifty-one cents per ton to the board.
The cost of coal has not been ma
terially changed since the last letting
but the cost of transfer of the coal
from the cars to the bins of the schools
has been subject to considerable re-
duction. When the figures were sub
mitted to the board a week ago the
dealers estimated that the cost for de-
livery would be one dollar ton. The
successful bidder put the cost Of deliv-
cry from the cars to the school buildings
this time at forty nine cents q ton.
There were no out-of-town bidders
for the contract and there was no long
discussion or no long series of ballot
ing. The Lake Coal Company was far
below its nearest competitor and the
contract was awarded to it without
quibbling. Practically every coal deal
Ter in the city handling this grade Of
coal had part in the bidding. Here
are the bids as presented to the board,

ing of the coal to tho bins.

 It encourages the open mind in deal

 would put prejudice, passion and pre- conceived motions into the back
