County Road Work
County officials Have Small Measure
of Success in Tilt With State
Highway Commission.

Members of the County Highway
Commission and County Chairman
Murdoch of the County Board, had a
small measure Of success on Monday
when they were in Madison appealing
to the Wisconsin State Highway Com
mission for cement to finish up road
work planned for this county. They
found that Kenosha county had been
placed in the list of Third class
counties and this means that Kenosha

ment supply. The commission agreed

county at once for use in building
bridges and culverts on the roads and

Railroads Also
Seek an Increase
(By Associated Press. ]

Chicago-An eighteen per cent in
crease in freight rates will be neces-
sary to meet the additional expense
brought by the $60O,0OO,OOO award
made today by the Railway Labor
Board to employees, E. T. Whittier,
representative of the roads, announced
today. The railroad executives after
a conference with the Western Man
ayers association, announced that they
would accept the boards award and
apply it's terms Immediately. w. G..
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmep, said all eighteen
organizations touched by the award
would hold separate sessions to act
on it. The belief is growing that
referendum will be taken to decide the
question At Washington the railway
executives on receipt of the news of
the award went into session immedi-
ately to draft requests asking the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
authorize increases in rates to secure
funds to meet the award.

First National Has
Crook Proof Safes
Downtown Bank Is Installing Battery
of Diebold Manganese Vaults
Today.

In keeping with its always progress
I've policy the First National Bank will
be fully equipped with the latest and
safest in safes by six o'clock this evens
ing All day engineers and electro
clans have been employed with the
work necessary to the installation of a
battery of Diebold Manganese vaults
which will replace the strong boxes
built into the bank less than five years
ago.
AT that time" President C. G.
Brown said this morning, "they were
the safest safes we could get. Now
the company has made improvements
and we're installing a battery of the
improved Manganese vaults. They're
said to be crook-proof and they GER
tainly look it."
The new safes are made of steel al
Logged with manganese and so con-
structed in alternate layers Of hard
and soft metal as to make either drill
ing or blowing impossible. They are
equipped with both time and combina-
ton locks so that the crook, who might
possibly solve the secret of one would
find himself baffled by the other. At
the factories in Chicago and Canton,
Ohio, where the safes are made, nu-
merous experiments have been per-
formed to prove that they will yield
to neither drill nor dynamite.
THAT company's wonder" added
Mr.. Brown, "at keeping just one Jump
ahead of the crooks. In these safes
they have anticipated every method
that thugs might employ in blowing
safe and have carefully protected their
vaults against each of those methods"
Mr.. Brown also announced that the
new safety deposit room at the bank
was being completed as rapidly as pos
sible and would assuredly be ready for
use before the end Of the summer.

NASH CHECKS ARE
RAISED By CROOKS
Man Arrested by Police at Midnight
Last Night May Aid in Solving
Story of $4,000 Crime.

With the arrest at midnight Mon
day of J. Jakaitis at the Schlitz Hotel,
the police were hopeful today that
they had at last struck lead which
would make possible the clearing up
of mysterious payroll robberies by
which clever crooks are alleged to
have secured more than four thousand
dollars on pay checks issued by the
Nash Motors company. The raising of
the pay checks took place months ago
but the facts in the case were-not
brought out until after Joe Paren,
arrested as burglar and hold-up man,
had made some statements to the police
during the night and until after these
statements had brought about the ar
rest of Jakaftis who Paren intimated
was connected with the payroll
thefts. The exact amount of money
secured on the forged checks was not
made known by the police. In fact, no
connected statement was given out by
the police in regard to the case. Of
fcials of Nash Motors admitted that
the payroll checks had been raised.
Passed in Saloons.
The workings of the gang which are
declared to have caused losses of
thousands of dollars, is being laid
bare. 1t was declared that the men
would secure work in the Nash plant
and quit during the week This would
not bring them up to pay day and

check of the company, which is made
out with a protected machine, they
secured checks of an ordinary nature.
These checks were afterward raised
and for the most part they were
cashed at saloons near the Nash plant.
Paren in his story to the police init
mated that he had considerable knowl-
edge as to just how the scheme had
been worked and it was on the state
ment he made that Jakaitis was ar
rested. He. was booked on forgery"
charges at the police Office.
The officials appeared to be very
secretive in regard to the exact facts
in the case, but it was admitted that
Jakaitis was held in connection of
the forged checks on which a large
amount of money had been secured.
In Trouble Before.
Jakaitis is not unknown to the police
department He is the man who had
the famous money box" and when he
was arrested on this charge he paid
fine of hundred dollars and the costs
Of the action. He later was taken in
on gambling charge and paid fine
at that time. He was the complaining
witness for the alleged holdup on which
Paren was arrested on Monday night.
