GET WARNING OF
new BLAST PLAN
Post Car Tells of Plan to Blow Up the
New York Custom House
Suspect Released Today.

New York--A post card warning
that an attempt would be made
tomorrow to blow up the custom
house was received through the
mails today by William d. Ed
wards, collector of internal revenue
for this district. Officials of the
Department Of Justice regard the
warning as the work of a crank.
They say that a person who in
tended to cause such an explosion
would hardly give warning so far
ahead of time. The warning came
just after Edward P. Fischer, the
'ex-tennis player who sent warnings
of the Wall street disaster to New
York from mental teIepathic in
structiOns," had stated that more
will happen in the future" Gun
seen powers have communicated
this to me- Fischer said. Fischer
has been the center of a crowd of
reporters and detectives since he
reached this city. He has done
many queer things, including wash
ing his face in a glass of drinking
water after he had finished his
lunch at a restaurant here. The
police announced this afternoon
that they had released Alexander
Brailovsky, the Russian journalist,
because there appeared to be no
evidence against him.

He Didn t Answer
Sure He Didn t

Early Sunday morning silent man
paced up and down before a house on
Sheridan Road. The people of the
house saw him and when his continued
pacing began to get on their nerves
they shouted at him: "What in the
dickens do you want around here ?'
There was no answer. whats the
idea ?" was the next question, but the
silent man kept on pacing. Then the
police were called and they went and
got him. The police were not able to
get any response either-until they
got to the police office Then it be-
came known that the man was Fred
Jones a deaf mute. He had been
working nights and could not sleep ex-
cept in the day time and he was try
ing to kill time. He was instructed to
get another beat and released.

OLD CHARTER
INTO DISCARD
Martin Whittier Outlets Ru-
NOR by Announcement of
Abandonment of Co.
new COMPANY FORMED

Martin P. WHITTIER, president of the
Whittier Motor Truck company, gave
out a statement this morning putting
an end to disquieting rumors which
have been in circulation in the city
relative to the company abandoning it's
Wisconsin charter.
"These stories have been brought to
US from several sources" declared Mr..
Whittier this morning, "and they have
come in all sorts of forms. l want to
say that there is not a sign Of founda-
tion for any rumor relating to the fl
nancial condition of this company It
is true that we have abandoned the
Wisconsin corporation. This was shown
when the secretary of state issued his
report ,of delinquent corporations in
the state several months ago. The
Wisconsin WHITTIER Motor Truck com
pany was one Of the companies named
on the list"
Now Delaware Corporation.
SIN January Of 1918," continued
President Whittier, "the company de-
cided to change its incorporation pa
pers and at that time the company was
incorporated under the laws of Della
ware on account of the fact that the
laws of that state appeared to be bet
ter suited to the needs of the company.
After we had completed the incorpora-
ton in Delaware we decided to forfeit
the charter which had been granted to
the company in Wisconsin and as a re-
suit of this decision there has been no
report made to the state this year. We
do not intend to make any report and
the charter will be surrendered because
it is no longer Of value to the company.
All the property of the company was
disposed of to the new Delaware corpo-
ration years ago and the old Wisconsin
name was retained simply to aid in
closing up existing contracts and bust
ness deals which had been made pre-
vious to the formation of the new com
pany."
Don't Want Old Charter.
"The only reason that we might have
for continuing the old charter would be
a sentimental one and the directors of
the company have decided to abandon
it. I want to impress on the people
that the abandoning of this discarded
charter in no way affects the stability
of the company or the business. The
business Of the company has been
growing rapidly and the company is in
excellent condition"

H.C.L. UP AGAIN
HUNTERS FEAR
Three Kenosha Lads Who
Kill Meadow Larks Tell
1t to the Judge.
FINE BY POUND /?

Speaking of roundsteak at 60 cents
pound, if you want to get real
taste of the high cost of living just
try meadow larks and high holers.
Three Kenoshans tried it out on Sun
day and they are to settle for a couple
of pounds Of the meadow lark and high
holer meat at rate Of $50 pound.
Curly and Ferre paid fines of $50
and the costs each and the case against
Michette was adjourned for week.
1t was the opening up of the fall
season for the arrest of foreigners who
believe that Wisconsin, song birds
make tasty Sunday supper dish and
the opening was in charge of Emil Fox,
the agent of the conservation commits
sion. He sauntered out into Pleasant
Prairie on Sunday and arrested Anto-
Mo Michette, who wore the service uni
form in court this morning, Tony Cur
ty and Dominick Ferre. All of them
claimed Kenosha as their home.
Bag Was Well Filled.
Curly and Ferre were arrested out
near the village of Pleasant Prairie
and they had bag pretty we'll filled
with meadow larks and high holers.
The birds had been prepared for the
kettle and in court this morning they
appeared as tempting morsel. Only
one Of the three men had gone to the
trouble of taking out hunting license.
A general crusade for the protection
Of song birds has been ordered by the
conservation commission and agents Of
the commission are ordered to insist
on the maximum fine in every case

Constable John Scholey and
Two State Officials Are
Busy Here Saturday.
GET SOME EVIDENCE
Find Bottles of Whisky and
Wine but Owner Follows and
DESTROYS the Evidence.

Constable John S. Scholey went on
his raiding expeditions against viola
tors of the law in Kenosha county on
Saturday afternoon and assisted by
two state prohibition officials from
Madison swooped down on three sa-
looms in the western part of the city
IN search of evidence that the prohibi-
ton laws were being violated there.
They secured considerable evidence in
each one of the places visited and Con
stable Scholey declared that warrants
for the arrest of some of the men
implicated might be expected to reach
Kenosha on Tuesday.
The raids were not without thrills as
one of the saloon men followed the Of
ficials and staged lively tussle that
resulted in destroying some of the
bottles of alleged intoxicants which
had been taken at one of the saloons.
Visit GrOtsky Saloon First.
Constable Scholey lead the two pro-
hibition officials, who have asked that
their names be kept. from the public
for the time being but who will appear
against the saloon men if warrants are
issued. He guided them first to the
saloon operated by S. Grotsky on
Newell street where IA careful search
under the counter revealed bottle of
whiskey and bottle of wine. The Of
ffcials confscated these and proceeded
on their way around the circle.
Their next stop was at the Kimball
saloon at the corner of Lester and
Grover streets. Constable Scholey, be-
cause he though THAT his presence
might warn the keepers of the saloon
of the business of the inspectors, re.
NAMED on the outside Of the saloon,
holding under his arm the two
bottles of liquor confscated at the
Grotsky saloon
Grotsky Follows the Officials.
Meanwhile Grotsky in an automobile
had followed the federal officials to
the Kimball saloon When he found
Constable Scholey outside he went up
to him and began talking about the
raid. Then finding Scholey off his
guard Gotsky is alleged by the CON
DNe%0AS " Ae%FC PdSAGQ GAlG kWO UOIIISS
OF liquor from his arm to the sidewalk.
When the bottles broke and the wine
and whiskey trickled away, Grotsky
called out 'There goes your evil
dence" and hurried away before Scho-
ley could stop him. Constable Scholey
declared today that the staet prohibi-
ton officials had declared that this
incident would not spoil the case and
that warrants would be issued immedi-
ately for the arrest Of guilty parties.
From the Kimball saloon the officials
hurried to The place operated by e.
Jacobsen on Salem avenue. In this sa-
loon and at the Kimball saloon, the
officials declared that they found evil
dence which looked suspicious, but
they admitted that they had been I'M
able to secure any Intoxicating liquor
of any kind.
Constable Seholey declares that the
state officials have only started their
raids and that others may be expected
here in the near future.

BRAND SALOON
SCARS In VALUE
City Asked to Pay $4,000
for Old Building Near
Main St. Bridge.
DAMAGES AT $4,000

The Brand Brewing company of Chi
cago is willing to help the city com
plete the work of Strengthening Main
street and building the new bridge but
it wants to be paid for the accommo-
dation and the city officials have been
notified that the old property adjoining
the Main street bridge which belongs
to Virgil Brand, president of the brew
ing company, and which has been used
for saloon purposes for many years, is
valued at $4,000 if the city wants to
buy it. The owner of the property has
announced that he will make a claim
for damages as arresult of the building
of the bridge and the changing of the
grade of the street in the amount of
$4,000. The city officials in charge Of
fixing the amount Of damages and ben
efits for the property have notified
Brand that the city has no money to
pay these amounts or either of them.
Not to Hold Up Work.
1t is understood that the price placed
on this property by the Brand company
and the unwillingness of the city to
pay this price will not hold up any
work on the bridge. If the city is I'M
able to get an agreement for reduc-
tion of the damages or for the pur-
chase of the property at what is con-
sidered fair price, it is probable that
the matter will be fought out in the
courts. The property of the Cudahy
company adjoining the Brand property,
wi ich' was improved with building
worth $4,000, was purchased by the
city at a price considerably less than
is asked by the Brand company.

Woman Held in Pacini In
vestigation Left Jail on
Saturday Afternoon.
RELEASED BY CHIEF
Eve Do Not Care Where She
Goes as We Are Through Ex-
aiming Her" Says Officials.

Harriet Cook Adams, who claims to
have been the fancee of the late
Charles Pacini, left her cell in the
county Jail just after FIVE o'clock Sat-
urday evening and little later she
left the city, presumably for Milwau-
kee to resume her work in the Milola
Cigar factory. She left the Jail in
company with her Attorney Robert
/ Verne Baker after Chief O'Hare had
ordered her released. Before she left
Kenosha, Mr.. Baker showed willing
ness to cooperate with the police in
every way and he questioned the young
woman at length and he reported to
the police that he felt certain that
she knew nothing of the shooting of
Pacini
II do not know where the young wo-
man went and I do not care" Chief
O'Eare stated today. "We had secur-
ed all the information we wanted
from her and we had no desire to
hold her farther. She has told US
that she will keep in touch with the
department, but we do not believe that
this is highly important. She knows
nothing about the shooting of Charley
Pacini and she has told US everything
she does know which might be of any
value to us"
Keep Up Search for Husband.
The chief admitted that he was con-
tinuing the search for the divorced
husband of Mrs. Adams 81 do not be-
lieve that his presence here would be
very valuable" said the chief. "Mrs.
Adams has told us that he had no re-
gard for her and that probably had
taken no interest in her after the
separation. She said that he had new
er been in Kenosha and that to the
best of her knowledge he had no idea
of her relations with Pacini. If we
can find him we will question him
just with view of covering every
possible lead on the case"
No Habeas Corpus Writ.
There was no writ of habeas corpus
sought to secure the release of Mrs
Adams When informed that such a
write was possible the chief simply
said: ''Now if they want to get this
woman free before we want to re-
lease her, let them go right ahead
We have plenty of evidence on which
we might hold Mrs. Adams on Grim
inal charge but we have no desire to
push any such a charge. Her own ad-
missions to the district attorney and
myself, open the way for US to hold
her if we want to take this course.
We do not want to hold her on any
such charge as nothing would be
gained by such action"
Later the chief declared that he
had instructed the sheriff to release
Mrs. Adams because he was through
with his Investigations along lines in
which she might be able to furnish
any information. 1t is not expected
that Mrs. Adams will return to Ke-
nosha.
| Glad to Have Freedom.
| The auburn haired young woman"
who has been much in the Emelight,
appeared to be very glad to be free
again. II am going to try to forget,
she told one of the men as she. left
the county Jail She did not say just
where she was going but it was in
timated that she would return to Mil
waukee.
