YARN PRICES REDUCED.

Announcement was made today by
S. Kann Sons Company that word had
been received from S. b. and b. w.
Fleisher, Inc, of Philadelphia, who
manufacture more than 20 per cent of
all the handwriting yarns used in
the United States, that a reduction of
between 20 and 80 per cent has just
been made.
The manufacturers state in their
announcement that while labor costs
at present are higher than they have
ever been, the reduction in knitting
yarns is made possible by economy of
production in their plants, due to
greatly increased capacity during the
war, plus a recent decrease in the
price Of raw materials.

German Women
Appeal to France
(By Associated Press)

Berlin.-Surrender to the allies OF
100000 mich cows, which have been
demanded under the terms of the Ver~
sailles treaty, would have disastrous
results in Germany, says a letter to
the women of France from commit
tee of German women. Continued de-
privation of the German people of the
milk supply represented by these cows
would result in weakening public sta
nina and individual resistance, and,
therefore, operate to reduce the abil-
ity of Germany to fulfill treaty obi
cations through necessary production,
it is said. "The need of Germany is
so great that further reduction in the
milk supply would be equivalent to the
death sentence for hundreds of thou
sands of children, the letter says.

KEROSENE EXPLOSION
BRINGS FATAL INJURY
Mrs. Julia Motiejaitis Dead and Two
Little Daughters Believed Fatally
Burned This Afternoon.

Mrs. Julia Motiejaitis, aged 81
years, was burned to death, and
her two daughters, Anna, aged S,
and Zossie. aged were probably
fatally burned just before three
o'clock this afternoon when a can
of kerosene exploded at the home
at BIT Lemon street, in the up
stairs apartment. The woman's
body, burned almost to a crisp,
was found at the door of the home
where she had evidently attempted
to make her way to call for aid.
Mrs. Nakrust, aneighbor, heard
the cries of the children and saw
a flash in the house. She hurried
up the steps to the door where she
stumbled on the body of the dead
mother. By the side of the stove
in the living room of the home was
found partially filled can of kerr
osine with the bottom blown out of
it and it is believed that an ex-
plosion occurred when the woman
attempted to pour the kerosene in
to the fire.
Practically all of the clothing
was burned from. the woman's
body but from what remained
there was evidence that the kero-
sene had been thrown all over her
clothing and that she had been
smothered to death in the flames.
1t is thought that the children
were watching their mother when
the explosion occurred. They
were found badly burned near the
stove in the living room.
The injured children were taken
to the St. GATHERINGS hospital and
the body of the mother was taken
to the Hansen mortuary on Park
avenue.
Mrs. Motiejaitis is also survived
by another daughter, who was at
tending school when the tragedy
occurred, and by son, who is in
school at Waukesha!

NEW TERMINAL
FOR HILL LINE
Hill Steamboat Line Has
Terminal at Municipal
Pier in Chicago.
UNITES WITH OTHERS

It was announced at the Offices of the
Hill Steamboat Line this morning that
contract had been signed leasing a
part of the municipal pier in Chicago
now used by the Chicago-Detroit
ship Line to the Hill Line. This step
it is believed will enable the local
company to give much better service to
and from Kenosha and Chicago because
of better handling facilities and door
to door connection with some of the
largest steamship lines of the lakes.
L. L. Hill, general manager of the
company said, "The municipal pier is
the logical place for the docking of
package freight and passenger boats
touching Chicago. The pier is modern
in all it's features and can be reached
without passing single bridge, thus
eliminating all delays of river traffic.
Has Good Connections.
''From the shore side Grand Avenue
provides a wide uncongested passage
right into the heart of Chicago's bust
ness district and frequent street car
service connects us with all parts of
the city, the cars stopping within a
few feet of our offices.
When final plans for the municipal
pier are complete, direct connection by
rail to all Chicago railroads will be
had thus eliminating all transfer
charges and delays.
Direct Touch with East.
By occupying the adjacent floor
space to the Chicago Detroit Line Ke-
nosha is placed in direct touch with
Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo, ship
ments originating there or here can
move entirely by boat and there will be
no carriage involved. The Michigan
Transit Co. also occupies part of the
pier so that Kenosha can ship direct to
all Northern Michigan points.
The Chicago officers of the Hill Line
will be moved to the new site on Jan
uary 1st of next year.

ASKS AN ORDER
TOSTOP PAY
Scholey Appeals to Judge
Belden to Help Him
Collect Fees.
BILL GROWING LARGE

Constable John S. Scholey,. with his
and just before noon he ap-
pealed to Judge E. B. Belden of the
circuit court to issue a restraining
order to prevent the county clerk pay
ing out moneys due to certain officials
of the county until these officials had
made provision for the payment of
fees claimed by Scholey in connection
with slot machine raids.
Scholey declared as he left for Ra-
cine that he would ask the circuit
judge to enjoin the county clerk from
paying to the district attorney the
emergency fund granted to that. Off
cial by the county board. He asserted
that the county owed him SAB and that
he was going to get the money if there
was any possible way to make it stick
There was no restraining order served
on Clerk Holderness today.
Says Cost County Money.
Scholey declares that the failure of
the county board to pay his claim for
fees has cost the county money. He
claims that the deputy sheriff who
was paid for his work got $155 and
that he now expects to get the same.
"If that was worth $155 to a deputy
sheriff, it must be worth just the same
to me-" declared Scholey as he Topped
off toward Racine.
Scholey said that Attorney Lewis
Powell had been retained to sue the
county for this amount.
While in conference with Judge
Belden today, it was expected that
Constable Scholey would submit to the
judge such facts as he has gathered
as to conditions in Kenosha county
and it is expected that this informa-
ton will be used by Judge Belden in
determining whether or not he will
call grand Jury.

WAGE AWARDS
TO SHORT LINES
Is Prediction of the Rail
road Labor Officials
in Chicago.
TO BE EFFECTIVE SOON
(By United Pressl

Chicago. -Wage awards which will
affect more than q hundred thousand
men employed on close to 600 short
line railroads throughout the country
will be announced within the next few
weeks, according to United States
Railroad Labor Board officials.
The wages sought are similar to
those asked by the Big Four Brother
hood and employees on big roads.
These employees, numbering 100000,
were recently awarded approximately
500 of their demands.
Number Applying for Award.
Though there are 600 short-line rail
only 81 have asked the board to apply
the recent award to them. Originally
115 made application to the board but
officials of IS Of these have voluntarily
applied the award and the applications
withdrawn. In addition to these 10,
35 other roads have applied the recent
award, making total of 53 roads vol
UNFAIRLY applying the award.
The decision in the case now being
studied by the board will be of ire
mendous Importance to employees on
other short-line roads. What action
is taken in this case is believed almost
certain to be applied to all of them.
It is considered most probable that
the board will cover all short-line
roads in its decision.
The short-line road employees are
backed in their demands by officials of
the brotherhoods and the American
Federation Of Labor. Practically all
Of them are members of the brother
hood or of the department Of railway
employees of the American Federation
Of Labor
Their request was not included in
the earlier demands, because short
line roads were operated under private
control. 1t was only employees on
roads that were formerly under fed
eral control that asked for raise.
The latter originally made their de-
mands when the government operated
the roads and by the time they OBJ
tanned the action sought the roads
were back IN private hands.
The same union officials who pushed
the demands of the 100000 railroad
employees earlier in the year handled
the presentation of the short-line road
employees case. President Timothy
O'Shea of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, President L. E. Sheppard
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Con-
ductors and President B. NJ. Jewell Of
the Railroad Shipments Union were
chief counsel for the short-line road
employees.
Demands sought by the short-line
workers, if granted, would mean an
approximate annual pay increase in
100 600 pay envelopes of $4,000, 900,
it is estimated

Judge Crutchfield
Was Unique Justice
Would Use an Abundance of Sarcasm
and Liked to Please the Court
Spectators.

Richmond, Va.-The death here re-
Gently of Justice John Jeter Crutch-
field removed one of the most original
characters in American legal annals.
Justice of the Richmond police court
for 80 years, Judge Crutchfeld enjoy
ed perhaps the widest reputation of
any man holding similar office.
Justice Crutchfield was born in
Richmond, September 20, 1914, and
was educated in the public schools
here. Possessed of an abundance of
natural wit and peculiar understand
ing of human nature, he was immense
ly popular. Magazine stories were
written of him and stage impersona-
tions were made of the celebrated
Zone John" as he was sometimes
called.
In the cold days" as the anti-dry
period was called, Judge Crutchfeld
knew all of the "old timers" and when
they began to appear on his docket too
often, he would have them called be-
fore him and ask: equity or not
guilty? ?" He knew his man every time
and when the prisoner would begin to
humble and minimize his offense 1910
or 10 days" would end the argument.
Years ago there was a character
known here as Jimmy Jones'" Re-
ports were that Jimmy" and Justice
Crutchfeld served together in the
Confederate army, but this never was
confirmed. Jimmy" would apepar be-
fore the justice at least once week,
and when his trembling form would
saunter up this dialogue would usually
follow:
Good morning, Mr. Jones'"
Good morning, Judge"
What is the matter this time, Mr..
Jones?"
Feeling little siSx last night, and
l rather expect l got little too much
liquor, Jedge."
"So?"
Eyes, sir; little too much, your
honor"
Jimmy, have been your friend
long time The last time you were
here 1 told you that if you camc any
more this year / would make it year.
But you and l can compromise this
matter. Now what is the best you
can do?"
Jones would say he thought ten days
would be about right, but Justice John
would hold out for six months, and
ask Jimmy to set another figure. Jim
mys refusal to compromise further
would bring from the judge the re-
mark that "if you won't make it a |
month, l will have to let you go with
fifteen days." whereupon Jimmy would
threaten to quit coming to this
court" Usually he was released when
he became sober.
Perhaps Justice Crutchfeld was at
his best when his court room was filled |
with sightseers. Then he would add |
many fancy touches to the days dis
pensation of justice.

Pearson Blocks
Divorce Game
Gates Absolute Denial of Divorces
Regardless of Grounds

Cleveland, Common Pleas Judge
A. j. Pearson advocates absolute de-
NAL of divorces regardless of what
the alleged grounds for separation
might be.
The occasion for the judges positive
stand arose when man was cited for
contempt Of court for failure to pay
alimony to his first wife. In explana-
ton the man said that to pay the ali
mony would work hardship upon his
second wife and that he was not in a
position to support two families.
eff | sentenced this man for con-
tempt, said Judge Pearson, ~ would
be injuring two women. Had this man
not been granted divorce, he could
have supported his first wife as de-
creed by the court.
while refusal to grant a divorce
may injure some persons who are de-
serving of a separation, there would
be less injury to society in general if
divorces were absolutely deried to all.
"In my opinion divorces should be
denied all persons regardless of the
circumstances.
"When man who has failed to quail
ify as good husband receives a di-
vorce it permits, him to fool some 9TH
er woman and if the fault lies with the
woman it permits her to fool some I'M
suspecting man. The result is that
another divorce case will be filed in
the courts in a short time"
Judge Pearson said that if no di-
vorces were granted children would re-
ceive better care.
eff the parents remsrry, the chill
dren, if there are any, seldom get as
good care or attention as before" was
the judges opinion.
