serves are in the form of silage and

The high quality of Wisconsin's corn
crop is also attested to in the report

pared to 679o in the previous year.

Eagle Boat Plant
to Be DismantIed

Detroit, Mich.-The Ford shipbuild-
ing plant, constructed in record time
to turn out sub-chasers, or Eagle boats
as they are more popularity known, will
soon be only a memory. Part of the
equipment, however, is to continue in
the navy service elsewhere.
The big warehouse, the only. struc-
ture remaining under government con-
troll at the River Rouge plant, is being
dismantled preparatory to shipment to
Hampton Roads. The structure, 983

"knock-down" type, was erected in 80
days to house Eagle boat equipment.
1t is to be loaded on freight cars and
shipped to Hampton Roads, where, ac-
cording to information obtained here,
it will be divided into three smaller
buildings.
Other buildings on the site of the
Eagle plant have been purchased from
the government by the Ford interests.
The last Eagle boat turned out at
the shipyard was launched November
goth last year and the last sailor. con-
nected with the enterprise left the
yards a month later.

Henry Eugene McNany
Is Poison Victim in
Omaha.
IN MYSTERY
Death Messages Seek Informa-
tiOn about Man Who Con-
cOcted Deadly Cocktail.

Kenosha had victim on wood alco-
hobs altar on Wednesday according to
dispatches from Omaha, Nebraska,
which declared that Henry Eugene
McNally, former Kenoshan, had died
suddenly there from drinking poison
cocktail" The death messages, while
brief, declared emphatically that Nc
Nally was victim of the deadly poison
but did not reveal many of the details
OF his death. They sought information
regarding any relatives of the victim
who might still be living in Kenosha.
Persistent inquiries failed to find
any relatives of the poison victim in
Kenosha and it is believed that he was
a transient employee of one of the fac
tories here as it is known that he lived
and worked in this city in 1918.
Victim Died Very Suddenly.
The messages from Omaha declared
that McNally was taken seriously i'll
and that he died in a very short time
on Wednesday afternoon. It was i'm
mediately suspected that wood alcohol
had been the cause of his demise and
post mortem examinations proved the
truth of the deduction. 1t is said that
Investigations are being carried on
there to find out where the former Ke-
nosha secured the deadly beverage.
Had Been Employed Here.
Investigation showed that McNally
had lived in Kenosha during the sum-
mer and fall of 1918. At that time
he was thirty-six years old and had
made his home in Kenosha at the
Fischer Hotel on Market street. He
worked for some time with the Peter
sen Construction Company and during
the month of September of that year
was employed in the foundry of the
American Brass Company. In October
he suddenly disappeared and the news
of his death was the first word which
had been received from him here. 1t
is believed that card from the en-
ployment agency here lead to the in
quiries which were made here regard
ing him.
Kenoshans who were acquainted with
the man declared that they did not
remember him making any remarks re-
garding any of his relatives. They
wer ecertain, however, that none of his
family had ever lived in Kenosha.

Shimmie Popular
Among COckrOaches

Portland, Ore.-How can anyone be
blamed for dancing the shimmie when
even cockrosch can't resist it in the
face of jazzy music.
DR.. Helen Clark, head of the Reed
College psychology department here is
authority for the statement the SHIN
lie is fast becoming the popular in
door sport for cockroaches. She has
proved to her students that soft, tune
full music sends healthy cockroach
into an emotional trance which finds
Expression in rhymic dance. And
high strains produce an ecstatic re-
sponse which has every semblance of
the shimmie.
Similar results were observed in the
angle worm, which wriggled and
"shivered" in perfect cadence with a
popular dance step.

What Bishop Thinks
About Prohibition

London-The Bishop of London told
congregation at Southwark Cathedral
that he was not at the moment advo-
eating prohibition for this country but
he could not help looking with some
what envious eyes on the present con-
dition of things in America. In view of
present public opinion it would be a
mistake, in his opinion, at this mo-
ment to aim at similar measure in
this country, but at least they could
aim high.
Gust think what London would be"
he added, "if we could get control Of
the drink traffic; if we could make
drunken homes sober. It would have
an enormous effect upon the moral
question, because more than half the
immortality existing in London today is
due to intemperance."

Believed to have been suffering from
an attack of the sleeping sickness"
James Nelson, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Nelson Of Prairie avenue and
now student at the University
Of Wisconsin, is reported today to be
recovering from the strange malady,
but still to be in great danger. The
Kenosha student is Ill at hospital in
Madison where the exact nature of his
disease has baffled all of the physi-
clans. It is believed, however, that he
has been suffering from lethargic en-
commonly known as the
sleeping sickness" although he has
lacked some of the symptoms of
this disease.
Asleep for One Week.
The Kenosha student was taken i'll
a week from Sunday at his rooming
house in Madison. He was taken to
the hospital and because he was not
believed to be seriously ill, his name
was not secured. From the time he
reached the hospital until a week later
he was sleep and could not be Weakened
by the nurses and physicians. Final
~ after weeks lethargy he woke
long enough for them to learn that
he lived in Kenosha.
His identity was Immediately estab-
lished and his parents in Kenosha
were informed of his illness. His
mother, Mrs. Frank Nelson, and his
sister, Miss Florence Nelson, hurried
to his bedside and while they were
in Madison he wakened once but only
for few minutes.
Father Now in Madison.

FIND DYNAMITE
IN CITY YARDS

Seven whole sticks of dynamite, a
number Of pieces of the explosive, a
bottle of nitro glycerin and a belt
such as is commonly used by profess
sional dynamiters, was found in the
yards Of the Kenosha Water company
at the foot of Wisconsin street Just
before eight o'clock this morning and
the find has offered a most interesting
mystery for the solution of the police
department. No one has been able to
account for the presence of the ex-
plosive in the city's storage yard and
it is being carefully guarded in the
alley in the rear of the police Office.
1t as expected that later in the day it
will be taken down ard thrown into
the lake. Officials of the water com
pany insist that they never had any
dynamite in the yards and that they
had no way to account for the presence
OF the explosives there.
Found by Lou Heller.
Louis Heller, in charge of construc-
ton work for the water department,
made the discovery of the dynamite
and the other trimmings. He had gone
to the yards to get some pipe and it
was partially covered with snow and
ice. Heller was digging into the slush
ice with his pick when he struck the
package. The contents were not re-
vealed by the first blow of the pick
but the second pulled the package out
and Heller at once saw that it was
filed with explosives. He didn't get
panicky but called the police and
turned the package over to the officers.
1t was taken to the police office.
The seven full sticks of dynamite
were wet by the frosts of winter and
the bottle of nitro glycerin is declared
to have had enough of this explosive
to blow up portion of the town. The
belt and the nitro-glycerin were not
in the same package with the dynamite
but the fact that they were found at
the same place led the officials to be-
lleve that they were a part of the
package.
Can't Offer Suggestions.
No nitro-glycerin or dynamite has
been used by any OF the city depart
ments for blasting purposes and not
one OF. the men about the city hall was
able to offer any solution of the mys-
terry 1t is thought possible that some
professional dynamiter may have come
to Kenosha to do some dynamite work.
either under the law or against the
law, and that he threw what he had
left OF his explosives on the lot along
the lake shore. The police are still
investigating.

Mayor John G. Joachim, chairman of
the committee in charge of collecting
funds for the "Near East" in Kenosha,
this morning sent the state committee
the sum of $4,000 as the portion of the
fund which has been subscribed here.
He told the committee that the books
of the campaign were still being kept
open and that further contributions
would probably be made later. Any
one desiring to pledge money for the
fund is invited to get into connection
with the committee at once in ohder
that the Kenosha fund may be cleaned
up. The city is far below the $4,000
quota assigned to Kenosha by the
