Withhold Warrant
for WOman's Arrest

Racine - The police department,
acting on advice of District Attorney
Janecky Friday night, refused to serve
a warrant on Mrs. Anna Cracker, di-
vorced wife of A. 0. Pullman of East
Chicago, Ind, charging her with kid
mapping her daughter, Pauline, years
old, and with forcing an entrance into
the home of her former husband.
The district attorney held that Ra-
cine authorities should not become
parties to an ytroubles between Pill
man and the divorced wife and that
no warrants would be served here
Janecky recommended that Pillman
begin civil action to recover his child
and not to repeat the offense of COM
ing to Racine and kidnapping her, as
was done on Wednesday.

KENOSHANS MAY
BE IN CONTEMPT
Two Members of Federal
Grand Jury Ask Repeal
of Volstaed Act.
NAMES ON PETITION

Two Kenosha county men, Laurence
H. Berger of Kenosha and w. E. Fink
of the town of Somers, may be in
contempt of the federal court. They
were two of twenty-One members of
the federal grand jury who signed a
petition TO the Wisconsin delegation
in the two houses of congress asking
for the repeal of the Volstead act. S.
G. Courteen of Milwaukee, who was
foreman of the grand jury, is also one
of the signers of the petition, which
has caused a great deal of discussion
in legal circles and which, it is de-
clared, may result in the members of
the grand jury, signing it, being cited
for contempt.
Regardless of the fact that all pro-
ceedings of the grand jury are sup
posed to be secret, the petition was
given out on Saturday and while the
signers of it who were interviewed
declared that they had signed as pri-
vate citizens the grand jury has not
as yet been dismissed from service
and Judge Geiger may take up the
matter later.
Says Prohibition Is Failure.
The petition which was one of the
most remarkable ever coming from a
grand jury holds that prohibition is a
failure and asks the members of con-
gress to pass law repeating the Vol
stead act and substitute one which
would permit the sale of beers and
light wines by grocers.
The petition refers to the action of
the grand jurors as a report "unani-
mously adopted by the following citi-
zens who comprised the federal grand
jury"
The jury had returned 105 indict-
ments for violations Of the liquor
laws and it is possible that some of
the indictments were against Kenosha
men. It was declared possible that
all work of the grand jury might be
declared illegal on account of the
statement given out.
Men who have been interested in
the work Of the grand jury promptly
ascribed the resolution as given out
to the work of liquor interests" and
declared that it was a determined
effort to block the enforcement of the
laws in Wisconsin.
Both Of the Kenosha men named in
the petition have been active in the
search for information of violations
of the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act and few people knew that
they were members of the federal
grand jury. Papers which have been
making an effort to secure the return
of the wet resume gave much space
to the petition on Sunday.

A MYSTERY MAN
SEEKS EXPENSES
Expense Accounts Filed by
Candidates for Office
Under Scrutiny.
NO CAUSE IS GIVEN

COLLINS appear to be on the trail of
candidates for office who failed to
make proper accounts of their expens-
es in the recent campaign. A man
who saw fit to shroud his identity in
mystery came to Kenosha on Friday
afternoon and spent several hours in
studying the expense accounts of Ke-
nosha county candidates and Kenosha
county political committees.
He was decidedly uncommunicative
and to questions as to just what he
wanted all the "dope" for, he smiled
serenely in answer and went right on
copying. That fellow knows just how
much every candidate in the county
spent-provided he put it all in the
account filed-and he knows also just

cording to the report.
Nothing Too Small to Take.
There was no account too small to
interest this Gentleman from Mi
waukee." He got list of every can
didate and he checked the list with
the list Of expense accounts fled, He
made a notation of every man who
failed to file an account and of every
man who said that he had no expenses
in the campaign. He made a very
careful study of the one party COM
mittee expense account filed. This
was filed by the Republican county
committee and it showed expenditures
on behalf of the party candidate at
both the election and in the primary.
Neither the Democratic party nor the
"Non-Partisan League Labor Party"
both Of which were rather active in
the campaign filed an expense account
in this county. It is believed that the
accounts of these committees were
sent to Madison for filing with the
secretary of state. A large amount of
expense of the. Non-Partisans was
handled in the accounts of individual
candidates but some of the expense of
the campaign of the candidates in this
county was paid from the state head
quarters of the league"
May Be Statewide Movement.
The man making Investigations here
appeared to be decidedly familiar with
expense accounts and the methods for
making them and it is possible that
the investigation in Kenosha is a part
of statewide movement and it may
preface certain movements against
successful candidates later on.
The Milwaukee man was very anx-
ious to get the accounts which indi-
Gated that money was spent for the
election of state and national candi-
dates, but there was nothing in the
Kenosha county accounts to separate
this expense from other expenses of
the campaign and the lump sum was
all that could be given the investi-
gator. No reports have been received
that the same Investigations have been
made in other counties and it is posi-
BILE that the statewide investigation j.

said he was going from Kenosha to
