Abouth the Slot Machine Key.
The next letter was one in answer
to complaints Jof Seholey made to the
governor following the arraignment in
court of men who had been arrested
on charges of haviIG slot machines in
operation. This letter was one signed
by Whittet and dealing with the rights
of Seholey to have the slot machines
destroyed. The letter follows:
July 90, 1920.
Mr.. John Scholey
679 Lyman Avenue
Kenosha, Wisconsin,
My dear Mr.. Scholey:
I am this morning in receipt Of your
letter of yesterday. hardly know
what to say. do not see how we can
be of assistance to you in view of the
fact that the judge of your municipal
court has under advisement the OPP
ening of the slot machines for the
purpose of removing the money and
with the ultimate intention of de-
stroying said machines.
1t would appear to me that your
viewpoint is correct and that if the
machines are to be destroyed, it
would not be necessary to hunt for a
key with which to open them. How
tirely in the hands of the court, and
we cannot very we'll interfere.
l am sure you will appreciate the
situation. With best wishes, | am,
Yours truly,
L. C. Whittet, Secretary.
Since the last letter from the gov
ernor's office was received by Scholey
he has made a number of trips to
Madison and has made personal COM
plants to both the governor and the
attorney general that the movement
to enforce the laws in the county was
not making the heaaway that lot of
the people believed it should. Other
letters sent to Scholey since that time
have appeared in the public press. 1t
would appear from these letters that
the governor has had some "docu-
mentary" evidence Of conditions here.

URGES FUR FARMING.
(By Associated Press

Washington Farming of fur bear
ing animals as a means of preserving
the rapidly diminishing fur supply Of
the country, was advocated today in a
bulletin issued by the department of
agriculture. The bulletin declared that
unless drastic action was taken imme-
diately, furs would become so expen-
sive that only the ultra-wealthy class
could wear them. It pointed out that
muskrats, foxes and minks could easily
be reared under semi-domesticate
conditions.

If the court finds that it is impossi-
BILE to select jury to try Lang from
this list Of names selected by the jury
commission, new venires will have to
be drawn. This may mean that women
of Kenosha county will sit on the jury
hearing the charges against Lang and
the Lang case may be the first case on
which women may be called. Only a
few names remain in the Jury box in
the circuit court and the jury commits
sion has announced that with the re-
filing of the box the names Of both
men and women will be drawn in keep
ing with the new status Of the women.
Should the Lang case be the first case
in which women serve as jurors in Ke-
nosha county, it would add a most in
teresting feature to the trial of the
case.
Until the court has formally appoint
ed an attorney to defend Lang it is not
expected that there will be much work
done along the line of outlining the
defense. The case is going to be one
which will require much study.
Claim Lang Under Spell"
The claim of A. E. Buckmaster, who
has been active for Lang, without pay,
Is that Lang was under a spell cast by
the police at the time he made the var
ious confessions attributed to him. If
this line is followed in the defense of
the case. it will furnish one of the
most interesting psychological cases
ever heard in the courts of Wisconsin,
and it is certain that it would bring a
battle Of expert testimony such as has
never been known in the courts of Ke-
nogha county. 'You can not under
stand the condition of this man and
the fright he labored under when he
made these confessions" said Attorney
Buckmaster in discussing the case. It
it admitted by lawyers that this is a
new angle to criminal law and it is
believed that it will be grave ques-
ton as to just how far such defense

Grand Jury Call Bunk.
The reports in Milwaukee that Judge
Belden had called grand Jury were
just bunk" The reports themselves
appeared to have come from Kenosha,
but if they did, the correspondent
sending them acted wholly without
foundation for the reports. Judge Bel.
den has not called grand jury and
it is not expected that he will act in
the matter until after his return from

Racine on the afternoon of October

FEDERAL OFFICIALS
SEEK PLANT HERE
Arrest of Man in Chicago Reveals the
Fact That Workman Here
Was Making Money.

Federal Operative Strausberg, work
ing out of the Chicago offices of the
Department Of Justice and Chief of
Police Owen O'Hare combed the west
side of Kenosha early today in an eff
fort to locate counterfeiting plant
alleged to have been operated by
Frank Turner who was taken into Gus
tody by the federal officials in Chicago
on Friday and who is alleged to have
had in his possession large amount
Of counterfeit money. Up to noon to-
day the plant had not been located and
no trace Of the place where Turner
alleged he lived while in Kenosha, was
found. The police and federal of
fcials believe that it is. possible that
Turner has made false statements in
regard to the location of the plant,
but it is said that the man at one
time lived in Kenosha.
Gave Money to Children.
Turner is forty-fve years of age and
q cripple and it is said that he form
erly lived here He was arrested in
one of the suburbs of Chicago after
he had been lavish in the distribution
Of small coins among children. The
report from Chicago said that coins
We're counterfeit, When the officials
went to arrest Turner he battled
against arrest and he was finally taken
at the point of a revolver after he had
drawn knife and offered to give bat
tie to the officials. When he was book
ed he gave his address as 1906 Third
avenue, Kenosha, and he told the Chi
cago officials that he had roomed at
this address and that the plant in
which the counterfeit money was made
was located at that number.
Early today Strausberg and O'Hare
were searching for the number on
Third avenue. There was only one
house on the street." declared the
federal officer later, "and certainly the
number could never run up to 1900"
Other records in Kenosha are being
searched in an effort to get some trace
of the identity Of Turner.

the indication are that it will be
another fine conference, such as Yer
mont witnessed each January for sew
en- years until the coming on of the
war. During the two. years America
was engaged in that the conference
was omitted, but the way in which
the boys have responded to the plans
for the coming gathering shows how
much they are interested in it and
what the others have done for the
boys of the state.
Mortified people are furnishing
free entertainment for all registered
delegates, but the registrations must
be received by Rev. James B. Sar-
gent, chairman of the local commit
tee, by January Goth.
