SCH0LEY RAIDS
PROVE FUTILE
Six Raids Conducted by
Constable Last Night
Without Result.
USES SLEIGHT OF HAND

John Scholey, the crusading consta-
bic of Kenosha, was on the war-path
again last night and carried out six or
seven raids, but without bringing in
any violators of the liquor laws
Three saloons on Prairie avenue were
first visited by the constable but moth
ing was found. The constable then
slipped over to the Cummings hotel,
but was recognized by some fellows
who were standing around the bar
The bartender made home run for
succeeded in pouring the illicit down
the sink before Scholey was able
to apprehend him.
The saloon west of the Cummings
hotel was next on the calling list of
Scholey but he was unable to get any
goods on the people there. A thor
ough search of the counter failed
to bring to light anything stronger
than near beer.
Pulls Magic Trick.
D. Caponi, who runs an alleged soft
drink parlor at 904 Park street, was
almost caught mapping by the crusad-
ing constable but was able to get
away with it by little Blackstone"
sleight of hand performance. AS soon
as Scholey came into the door he was
recognized by the bartender who i'm
mediately poured out the alleged whis-
key that he had in a little copper urn
into the sink. Scholey was just go
ing in behind the bar when he glanced
up in the mirror back of the bar and
saw the bartender slip a spectator
quart bottle of real stuff.
Breaks Bottle of Whisky.
The crusading constable then at
tempted to take the alleged whiskey
from the spectator but was foiled in
getting the goods on the Caponi ag-
gregation by having the spectator
break the bottle. The good old. rock
and rye trickled down on the floor
to the dismay of the spectators hang
ing around. Scholey retired without
being able to get the goods on the ag-
gregation. eve put good scare into
the bunch anyway" said Scholey, "and
they will sure watch their step next
time"

Peter Tilla Was on a Sus-
pended Sentence from
Racine Court.
ON A LIQUOR CHARGE
One of Men Injured in Motor
Wreck in which F. YOmaton
Was Killed Goes to Jail.

Instead of being in the Racine coun-
ty Jail serving a three months term,
Peter Tilla, former Racine saloonkeep-
er, is in a Kenosha hospital lila was
injured in the automobile accident at
one o'clock Christmas morning in
which Frank Yomaton, also of Racine,
lost his life.
Both Sheriff Grover Lutter and Judge
z. r. Burgess of Racine state that Til
la made the trip without their permits
sion. AS soon as he is able to leave
the hospital, he will be taken back to
Racine and incarcerated in the county
jail In the meantime certain features
connected with the case will probably
be investigated.
Liquor Sale Causes Arrest.
According to the Racine municipal
court records, Peter Tilla was SEN
fenced to three months in jail without
an alternative of paying fine, OIL
November 18th, by Judge Burgess. The
sentence followed his arrest on a city
warrant, which stated that the defend
ant, who had Glass A permit for the
sale Of notwithstanding liquors, did
have in his possession and under con-
troll in building in which he con-
Quoted his business under said permit
in the city of Racine, Intoxicating IL
Quors, contrary to the city ordinance"
1t was the second violation Of the Ii
quor laws in short time for Tilla.
Judge Burgess gave him the three
months sentence as an example to
other saloon men, who might have an
inclination to faunt the prohibition
laws.
Surprise to the Court.
Judge Burgess, when interviewed,
said that the three months sentence
meant that Tilla was to be kept con
fineG in the county Jail for that period
and was not to be given the alterna-
tive of hard labor. He expressed sur
prise that the man had been in the
accident at Kenosha on Christmas
morning. No permit for his perma-
nent or temporary release or for modi-
fcation of his sentence to hard labor
had been given by him, Judge Burgess
said Tilla's attorney had asked the
Judge for a modification of the SEN
tence, but each time he had been re-
fused.
Sheriff Gave Permit.
Sheriff Lutter of Racine told re-
porter that he had given Tilla permits
sion on Friday to seek work, with the
understanding that he was to return
to the county Jail before supper This
Tilla failed to do. Instead he took
the automobile trip to Kenosha in
which he was injured. The sheriff al
so stated that Tilla would be brought
back to the Jail to finish his term as
soon as it was possible to move him
from The hospital.

LONDON, May 1O.-The campaign of
American universities has an English
parallel. Three of the universities.
London, Liverpool and Manchester, now
have campaigns under way, or, as is
said here, subscription lists open. The
manner of campaign is not unlike the
organization Of a commercial company.
The University of Manche ster has pub
hshed four-page prospectus entitled
Lancashire Development Unlimited"
Lord Rosebery is heading the Uni
versity of London committees and is
giving appeals in the press for the re-
quest of London University for sub
scription of 100000 to establish a
school where men and women who have
completed their studies for degrees in
history may work under the guidance
of experienced hands and study the
documents of the British Museum. This
particular appeal speaks of London as
the national and necessary center and
establishment of q school of historical
research.
The University of Manchester in one
of its appeals diverts its attention to
America and speaks of the interrela
tionships through the contributions to
science which have been of the greatest
help to America, as the completion of
the port steam turbine and the produc-
ton of depth charge-the death knell
of the U-boats"

Ireland and the National Railways to-

If the dock workers plan becomes

considerable bitterness to the Irish
English strife, and it is probable that

Meanwhile, in the House of Commons
this week the Irish bill proceeded
toward final passage through fairly

on the Irish trouble when he elaborated
on his original statement that Irish
crimes were directed from America by

dence regarding his charges and the

University Riots
At Buenos Ayres
Laid to Agitators
Students Strike Is Blamed
on Incitement by Poll
ticians and Others to
Adoption of Red Ideas

BUENOS AYRES, May 1.-The stu
dents strike at the University Of La
Plata, which eliminated recently in a
shooting affair in lecture room and
the killing of one of n group of STU
dents taking an examination, is at
element of politicians and by others
to "the absorption of anarchistic ideas"
by student agitators.
The tragedy was the most serious
Of number Of acts of violence on
the part of the strikers that have oc-
Cured during the last few months.
Demanding reforms in the adminstra-
ton of the university, including an
enlargement of the rights in the con-
troll of the administration already
possessed by the student body, the
strikers took possession of various uni
versity buildings on four different occa-
sons and elected the faculty. The fac
ulty have had to call on the police to
GUST them, having been powerless to
maintain discipline.
The strike was at first regarded as
college boy nonsense" but was soon
given a serious aspect by the news
papers because of evidence that the
shevist ideas, and because it has led to
threats by the federal administration
to remove Governor Grotto of Buenos
Ayres Province and appoint an "in-
tervcntor" to rule in his stead. Gov
crnor Grotto is a political opponent
of President Irigoyen, and anti-admin-
istration newspapers have accused
politicians of the Presidents party
with melting the students to create
disorder to make an additional excuse
for Governor Grotto's removal.
When the students first declared the
strike by their organization, the Fed
oracion Universitaria," they took for
chile possession of the central building
of the university and hoisted the red
flag on the flagstaff. They were dis
lodged by the police and leniently
dealt with. This performance was re-
peated in several other of the univer-
sty buildings.
the death of student occurred in the
College of Medicine, when number of
striking students attempted to prevent
other students from taking an exam
inaton and rushed into the lecture
room, flourishing revolvers. Fist fights
between the strikers and the orderly
students were followed by the firing
of about fifty shots, and Felix Viera, a
youth who had come from Paraguay to
take the examination, fell wounded.
About 1870 students were arrested in a
police roundup which quickly followed
and 120 revolvers were taken from
them.

to House SHORTAGE

BERLIN. May 5.-Twenty- FIVE thou
sand German civilian functlonaries who
occupied positions in Poland and have
been deprived of their posts owing to
transfers Of territory, are in sore
plight. The government, which sud

apparently, to housing such multi

assigning them to old concentration

their accustomed household belongings.
