At a meeting of the Non.partisan
league in Minneapolis recently it was
decided that the same ticket which was
defeated in the republican primaries
would be presented at the November
election. It appears that efforts are
being made to have those filing on the
Farm-Labor ticket resign and the Non;
partisans fill the vacancies. It is
stated, however, that Cyrus King, can
didate for governor on the Farm-Labor
ticket, does not look kindly on this
proposition.

(By Associated Press)

New York-The fact that the gov
eminent had made several arrests in
connection with the nationwide bomb
plots of last June, became known to-
day when Andrae Salzdo, who con-
fessed to having printed the anarchis-.
tic circulars found near the scene of
the outrages, committed suicide by
leaping to Park Row from the four
teenth story of local headquarters of
the department of justice. William J..
Flynn, chief ! of the departments
bureau of investigation, admitted that
several other men had been arrested
in connection with the plots; that they
had confessed and agreed to be gov
eminent witnesses. He declined how
ever, to give their names or explain
what parts they had played. From
Chief Flynn and N. G. Donate, Salzdo's
lawyers, it was learned that the cir
culars found at the time Of the ex-
plosions, when attempst were made on
the lives of many public men, had been
printed in an Italian establishment in
Brooklyn where Salzdo was employed.
According to Donate, his clients en-
ployer asserts he knew nothing of the
Job and that Salzdo must have done
lit in his spare time.

LITTLE IN SIGHT
FOR CITY COUNCIL
Second Meeting of New
Body to Be Held
Tonight.
GAS MAY BE FEATURE

The city council will be in regular
session at the city hall this evening.
1t is the second meeting Of the new
council and it is expected that the
new committees will have their first
reports ready and that the work of
the body will be working along routine
lines There is nothing of especial
interest to come before the aldermen.
1t is expected that there will be some
further consideration of the garbage
reduction problem but the officials
have received no further word from
the American Bi-Products company,
at Detroit, and it Is possible that
some other way for disposal of gar
bage will be offered. 1t is expected
that there will be some further report
from the gas and light committee on
the investigation Of the gas and
light bills and it may be that there
will be some report of the preliminary
conference held in Racine to discuss
joint action in the purchase of the
Racine plant. 1t is possible that the
committee may suggest to the council
some preliminary action to secure
from the Wisconsin Railroad commits
sion some valuation of the plant of
the company in Kenosha. OF course,
if the Racine plant were taken over,
it would be necessary to take over
the auxiliary plant here.
Discussing housing problems may
take up some Of the time of the coun-
Gil and it is possible that the mayor
will have report on the proposal of
Alderman Cox to utilize the buildings
Of the st. Mary's summer home prop
erty to aid in meeting urgent demands
of Kenoshans for homes
1t is not forecasted that the meet
ing will be an extended one, as there
are few matters in the hands of the
committee. The most important of
these matters is the petition of the
Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee
electric line for the vacation Of por-
tion of Erie street. There was lot
of opposition to the plan at the last
meeting of the council but some Of
the aldermen declered they were hope
full that the matter would meet with
favorable action from the council.

SHOT IN ARM
HINTS ROMANCE

William ]. Ingerson, "a years of age,
and a former resident of Laurium,
Mich, is held at the county jail pend
ing investigation into his Mental con-
dition. He was picked up by the po-
lice late Saturday night at his room,
so Pearl street, suffering from bullet
wound in his arm. He later admitted
that the wound was self-inficted and
he was booked as insane" at the po-
lice office, pending further investiga-
ton. Ingerson was brought to the pe-
lice station about ten o'clock Saturday
night. An examination showed that q
bullet from a 38-calibre revolver had
pierced its way through the feshy por-
ton OF, his left arm, just above the
wrist. 1t is not believed that the
wound will prove serious unless blood
poisoning should set in and, the man
is under the care of surgeon at the
city jail.
Had Permit to Carry Revolver.
When Ingerson was questioned by
the police officers, he talked as if his
mind was wandering. When he was
searched, the police chief found among
his personal effects permit" to car
ry a revolver for period of three
months. The permit purported to be
signed by Sheriff Joseph Meyer, but
later on Ingerson admitted that he had
signed the permit himself and he said
that he had carried gun because he
was afraid of some of his fellow work
ers in one Of the west side factories.
An investigation showed that there
fear his fellow workers.
Ingerson made complete statement
to Chief O'Hare on Sunday and this
indicated that the probable cause Of
the shooting was his failure to find
favor with a young woman. He, re-
ferred to her as Bobby"
Find Bobby" at Dance.
Police officers were sent scurrying
to find the young woman after the
shooting and she was found at a
dancing party. While she admitted
that she knew the young man, she said
that there had been no relations be-
tween them which would have caused
him to seek to take his own life. She
referred to the young man as an "ac-
quaintance." The police officers de-
clared that they believed. that Ingerson
had shot himself with a view of Sc
curing sympathy from the young wom-
an. There is no charge against Inger-
son, but he will be held until after the
police can have an examination into
his mental condition or get into touch
with relatives who will see that he is
properly taken care of.
It was said that the young man had
resided in Kenosha for several months
and that he had been a good workman
at the factory where he was employed.
His wound is not regarded as danger
GUS but he will bear the mark of it
for the rest of his life,

JOHN |. BEGGS
MAY COME BACK

Reports from Milwaukee say that
John I. Beggs is coming back as head
of the electric company in that city,
and he may fall heir to the leadership
of auxiliary companies in Kenosha and
other cities over which James D. Morti-
mer has been the president and who
is to retire in the early fall. Mr..
Beggs gave out a report on Saturday
afternoon that there was some founda-
ton for the report that he was to be
at the head of the Milwaukee COM
pany. It was announced, however. that
he was to be named as the head of
a sort of steering committee" to
take care of the business of the COM
pany. 1t is said that Mr.. Beggs was
expected to aid the company in get
ting away from the injunctional order
which threatens to stop interurban
cars at the limits of Milwaukee in the
future. The statement of Mr.. Beggs
did not indicate that he had any idea
of becoming president of the company
or of the auxiliary companies, but it
was said that he was considered as the
"leader" of the executive committee.
Built Interurban to Kenosha.
1t was under the administration Of
John I. Beggs that the interurban
lines connecting Kenosha, Racine and
Milwaukee were built, and at that
time Beggs was widely known to Ke-
nosha people. He had reputation for
getting results. During his administra-
ton the Milwaukee company purchased
the utilities in Kenosha and for some
time he was the active head of the
company directing them. He is in
close touch with the problems of the
company at all cities along the North
Shore. Mr.. Beggs had many dealings
with the officials Of Kenosha in those
earlier days.

LENROOT SPEAKS
AS DARK HORSE

Kenosha again became the center OF
Republican politics for the state OF
Wisconsin today when the new signi-
ficance was attached to the address to
be given at eight o'clock this evening
at the Congregational Church by U. S.
Senator /. R. Lenroot when it became
known that this Badger senator was
one of the "dark-horse" candidates for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion.
Senator Capper of Kansas let "the
cat out Of the bag" in an announce
ment made at the national capitol to
newspaper men recently. Senator Cap
per declared that as the time for the
national convention approaches there
is more and more uncertainty as to
the outcome and that he has "heard
more talk in Washington in the last
few days of the possibility of dark
horse candidate being nominated"
Mentions Lenroot's Name.
"The names most frequently heard
in this connection" continued the Kan
sas senator, fare Allen (Kansas), Len
root Wisconsin,, Coolidge (Massachu-
setts), and SprouI (Pennsylvania)
Three of these, Allen, Coolidge and
Sproul are governors"
Senator Lenroot is in no sense an
active candidate, but his name is fire.

possibility.
AS the Kansas sol6n's announcement
became generally known today, more
interest was evidenced in the address
to be given here this evening by Sena-
tor Lenroot, as it is probable that some
reference may be made to the intima-
tion that Lenroot, is candidate. News
papers from all over the state have
become suddenly interested in the adj
dress here this evening and it is be-
lieved that it may have important de-
velopments for the campaign.
No Changes Are Made.
There have been no changes in the
original program planned by the Mems
Club Of the Congregational Church for
the meeting Senator Lenroot will
reach Kenosha just before six o'clock.
He will dine at the regular supper of
the club at 6:45 this evening at the
church, and will speak at $500 O'Clock
in the auditorium of the church. At a
late hour this afternoon, no word had
been received from him regarding the
subject of his address here this even
ing.
