WERE MARRIED
AT MIDNIGHT
KenOsha ElOpers Waken
Waukegan Justice to Get
Nuptial Knot Tied.

Cupid again demonstrated that Glove
will find way" on last Saturday night
when Miss Benedicta Nyland, one of
the most attractive and popular of the
younger women of Kenosha, and Alvin
hecor, a we'll known employee of the
Nash Motors company, eloped to Wau-
kegan and were married at midnight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zecor returned to Keno
sha this morning after spending their
honeymoon in Michigan and formal "a
nouncement of the wedding was made
by Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Nyland, the
brides parents.
Rouse Clerk from Sleep
The elopement had all the thrills a.
the kind that you see in the movies
or read about in the romantic n7geIs.
The two young people were attending
dance at the Eagles hall on last Sat
urday evening when they determined
to have the nuptial knot tied. They
slipped away from the dance hall with
out any of their friends knowing it
and speeded away to Waukegan.
There new difficulties besee them.
First they had to rouse County Clerk
Lew Hendee from his slum bers and get
him to come to the court house and
issue a license. There might have been
little grumbiing but all in all the
clerk proved very obliging, as he has
always been to KenOsha clippers.
Then the Sleepy Justice.
Armed with the marriage license, the
couple started their search for a JUS
tiCe of the peace to officiate at the
nuptials. At last they reused one
from his slumbers and he agreed to
tie the knot If they would come to his
house. Just before midnight they were
married and started on their honey
moon after sending word to their rela-
tives of the elopement.
There were no "irate parents on the
trail" to carry out the usual details of
the romantic elopement. After a we'd
ding trip in northern Michigan, the
two returned to Kenosha this mornin
and received the parental blessing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zecor are both we'll
known and popular among the younger
people of Kenosha. The bride is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. J. Nyland
of South Sheridan road. She attended
the Kenosha schools and has many
friends in this city to wish her happi-
ness. The bridegroom came to Keno
sha several months ago from his home
in Woodstock, ILL.,, to accept a position
at the Nash Motors company, where he
holds a responsible position.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zecor will make their
future home in Kenosha. For the pres
ent they are residing with the brides
parents at their home on South Sheri-
dan road until a new home can be Sc
cured.

Providence, R. 1.-The sale of all the
properties of the B. B. and R. Knight
properties to Frederick X. Rupprecht
of New York, was announced Friday
night by Webster and C. Prescott
Knight, members of the firm. Rumors
have been afloat for some time that
the knight properties, which include
seventeen different plants in Rhode
Island and Massachusetts,, were to be
sold, the story among the textile men
being that the probable purchaser was
the United Textile company of New
York. According to the statement is
sued by the knights, however, the
United has no part in the deal. No
statements was given as to the price

BIG BOND ISSUES
MAY BE SOLUTION
Council May Be Asked to
Provide for Issue of
Half a Million.
BANKERS FOR PLAN

That the city Of Kenosha must lay
plans for the issuance of several big
bond issues in order to tide over the
present financial stringency, is the
opinion of the bankers of the city and
financial leaders of the common coun-
ell and it is expected that some de-
mand for the issue Of the bonds will
be made at the meeting of the common
council on next Monday evening.
1t is possible that the city will be
asked to issue half million dollars
in improvement bonds. Financiers
have declared that while the city is
short of money just at present that it's
credit is in no way impaired and that
bonds offered by the city will prob
ably be sold at as good figure as the
bonds from any city in the state would
bring. 1t is believed that if the bonds
were offered at go rate and with a
payment in ten years that they could
be sold at small premium. Several of
the big bonding companies have given
the city officials assurance that the
bonds could be sold and possibly at a
premium, provided they were rated at
six per cent.
Wait Decision of City.
Bankers of the city discussed the
matter informally on Friday and later
on a meeting Of the bankers will be
held with the members Of the finance
committee. It is believed that public
improvement bonds can be issued for
payments for street pavements and
similar improveme made during the
year without the question of the bond
issue being submitted to the people of
the city. AS the people have already
voted for large bond issue in connec-
ton with the Main street bridge, there
would be no question as to the issue
of these bonds and if the council saw
fit, under the vote of the people, the
total 100000 worth of the bridge
bonds could be issued at once. It
would probably take sixty days to get
the bonds issued and sold, but it is
certain that financial accomm odation
could be secured for the city for this
period if the bonds were in course of
issue

Argentine Kicks
against U. S. Tax
Southern Republic Makes Strenuous
Objection to the Income
Rulings.

Buenos Aires-Protest against the
assessment of the United States income
and excess profits tax upon American
citizens and business firms residing
and operating abroad is voiced in a
resolution adopted by the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States in Ar
gentina and sent tae the government
at Washington. Amendment to the law
is asked on the ground that it is
proving an obstacle to the develop
ment and extension of United States
foreign commerce.
Collection of the tax not only in
creases the heavy expenses Of Ameri-
cans residing abroad, bu constitutes
a serious handicap to them in trade
competition, the resolution states.
since no such tax is collected from the
nationals of other countries. 1t is
further pointed out that American
citizens and business houses must pay
heavy taxes levied by the country in
which they are located and are thus
taxed twice without representation
either in the government of that
country or their own.
Already the assessment Of the ex-
cess profits and income tax has caused
many American interests operating
abroad to change their identity by or
ganizing as concerns Of the countries
where they conduct business it is as
serted, "thus causing a serious loss to
the prestige of American commerce in
foreign markets" It is contended
that when the relative high cost of
living and other disadvantages in
Cured by foreign residence are con-
sidered, incomes abroad that appear
large are not really so in comparison
with those paid in the United Statest,
and the collection Of the tax upon
them tends to make foreign residence
and business operation financially dis
advantageous.

MASTER-DETECTIVES
LOOK FOR BOMBERS
of Justice Officials Prom
Use the Arrest of Men Who Tried
to Blow Up Wall Street.
by Associated Press. ,

New York = Fragments Of the re-
mains of a strawberry roam horse may
lead to the arrest of the anarchists
who tried to blow up Wall Street and
killed thirty-one persons just before
noon Thursday.
This was the startling information
given out at police and government
headquarters early today. Pieces of
the horse which drew the "death-wa-
gon" reveal the fact that it had re-
Gently been shod by New York mem
Der of the International Horseshoers
Union. The five hundred men, bear
ing cards of this local are now being
questioned with every reason to be-
lieve that they will contribute the
data necessary to identify the horse,
it's driver, and his accomplices in the
Red plot to destroy New York's fnan-
cial center.
The probe is being conducted by
William J. Flynn, Chief of the Bureau
of investigation for the United States
Department of Justice, who stated
today that Attorney General Palmer
and his aides were confident that the
american Anarchist Fighters" were
responsible for the catastrophe.
The leaders of this organization are
known to the Department of Justice
and will be taken into custody at
once.
The government believes that the
"Anarchist-Fight were behind the
plot, Mr.. Flynn said this morning,
because of circulars found in a mail
box near the corner of Broad and
Wall streets just after the explosion.
They had been dropped there, it is
asserted, by one of the conspirators,
who could not resist the temptation of
taunting the government on the sue
cess of Thursday mornings blast and
death-orgy.
The documents are so similar to
literature found after the exploded
bomb-conspiracy of June, 1919, that
the same persons are believed to have
plotted the two catastrophes.
"These anarchists are known" Mr..
Flynn declared, "and would have been
arrested before now, if their appre-
hension had not been prevented by
the suicide of Alfredo Salesedo, who
jumped from a fourteenth story win
dow rather than reveal the names Of
his fellow-conspirators in the 1919
debaele, Consequently they got away
before I've could nab them. We have
much more conclusive clues in the
present instance than we have then
and so can predict early arrest of the
bombers responsible for Thursday
mornings disaster"
1t is believed that the driver of the
strawberry roap>>horse which drew
the "death-wagon" will have been iden-
titled by this evening and that this in
formation will furnish further clues
on which the government may work to
solve the latest and greatest anar-
chist plot in the history of America.
Detectives in all parts of the coun-
try are keeping the American Anar-
chist Fighters under surveillance in
order that their escape may be i'm
possible.

Three Kenoshans Nabbed
at Racine Fail to Explain
Cargo of Drygoods.
MAY BE FENCE
Harry Rossi, Former Kenosha
StOrekeeper Is Sought in Con-
nectiOn with the Case Today.

Drygoods and clothing found in the
possession of two negroes and white
man at the home of Anna Watts, 1909
Racine street, may result in the arrest
Of Harry Rossi, Kenosha store-keeper,
as an alleged fence for stolen goods.
Peter Klonal, Italian, John Williams
and Augusta Rees, colored, all of Ke-
nosha, are now in Jail in Racine and a
warrant has been issued for Rees. The
goods found are estimated to be worth
over $1,000.
The sheriff received tip Friday
and acted without delay. A visit to
the Watts home brought to light sew
eral piles Of trousers, overalls, sweat
ers, and other clothing, and two suit
cases, which were not opened at the
house. The two negroes and the
Italian were placed under arrest at
the house.
Hired by Rossi?
The trio claimed to have been hired
by Rossi to deliver the goods to Ed
ward Gustafson at the Shepherd Hotel,
Union Grove, a section foreman. They
declared that they had been using
Rossi's car to make the trip from Ke-
nosha and left the store at ten o'clock
yesterday morning, arriving in Syl-
vania at o'clock in the afternoon,
where they broke down. They tele
phoned to Russi, who told them to hire
a taxi. A Racine car was rented about
midnight Thursday night and went to
Sylvania, where the goods were trans
ferred from the other machine and
hauled into Racine to Mrs. Watts
home.
This story sounded smooth enough
and even held up under the scrutiny
of the officers, until they demanded
to know why the goods we're brought
to this city instead of being taken on
to Union Grove, only a. short distance
and delivered.
Caught in Tray.
When Sheppard denied over long
distance telephone that he had ever
heard of Rossi and had never ordered
any goods from him, the story was
weakened, and the opening of the two
suitcases at the sheriff's offices ruin
ed it completely, for in them were
found pairs of children's stockings to
supply the whole Juvenile population
of Union Grove for months to come.
In one of the suitcases were rolls of
silk ribbon, boxes of yarn of various
colors, and children's knit stocking
caps. The three men could not explain
the presence of this goods in their pos
session. Search of the car at Sylvania,
which bears an Illinois number,
brought to light two bottles of moon
shine, which Rees said was put there
by Rossi before the car left Kenosha.
The warrant for Rossi was issued on
the charge of having in his possession
illicit liquor.

Rome.-Two small plants on the out
skirts of Rome were seized today by
laborers. The owners gave up possess
sion of the plants to the men as soon
as demand was made upon them for

ecutive management of the plants sue
