Missing Man
Held by Police

The ability of the Kenosha police
officers to pick off suspects has clear
ed up one Chicago mystery-the mys-
terry of the disappearance of Walter
Dannehey who was sought by the Chi
cage police on the request of his moth
er. The young man left Chicago on
Saturday with a number of friends to
go to Milwaukee and was never heard
of again. Then the mother began to
lombard police officers to search for
him and Chief Clarity asked aid Of
the Milwaukee department. Dannehey
was one Of six men picked up by the
police here and member of the par
ty including Arthur H. Conrad who
was taken to Milwaukee on Tuesday
afternoon to answer charges of steal
ing letters from flat buildings in Mil
waukee. When Conrad was taken to
Milwaukee his companion were not
sought by the Milwaukee officials.
They were released by the Kenosha au-
thorities on Tuesday and it is sup
posed that Dannehey is now back in
Chicago and has relieved the fears of
his mother.

GARBAGE PLANT
NOT FOR KENOSHA
Commissioner Cuts Off
Dickering with Ameri-
can Bi-Products Co.
DUMP WORKING FINE.
Will Serve City for Years and
No Complaint Made Against
Operation Of Department.

"The city of Kenosha is through
dickering with the American Bi-Prod-
ucts company Of Detroit for garbage
reduction plant and we would not &C
cept one now if the company was able
to build it. The work of disposing OF
the Kenosha garbage has now been
organized in manner so satisfactory
that we are not worrying about the
future. 1t will be years before the
city is going to be bothered by the
question and it is certain that we are
not interested in any proposition OF
the Detroit company"
This was the statement of Commits
sioner of Public Works Hurtgen this
morning and it came as the close of
an incident which the city has been
greatly interested in.
Don't Need Plant at All.
81 am convinced that the committee
and the officials of the city at large
feel that the reduction plant is not
needed in Kenosha," continued the
commissioner. "The work of dispos-
ing Of garbage has finally been worked
out in a manner most satisfactory to
all concerned. We are building a
splendid park for the city and it is
going to be built on garbage and re-
fuse. We are now dumping from .S5
to 40 loads Of refuse "a day and we
have the assurance that the number of
loads will be greatly increased in the
near future with refuse coming from
several of the great Industrial plants
in the city. There is not the slightest
objection from anyone to the use of
this new lake shore property as a
dumping place and the city can use it
for many years before it is filled up.
1t has been expected that the Detroit
company would bring proposition for
the reduction plant probably at the
next meeting of the council. Other
officials of the city Joined Commission
er Hurtgen in the declaration that
such a proposition would not even be
considered. 1t is claimed that the cost
of handling the garbage under the
present system is not any greater than
it would be under the system proposed
with the reduction plant.

put of the Racine plant to supply gas
through extended mains in that city.
The supply that Kenosha is receiving
from Racine has not been taken into
consideration in the framing up of the
proposed contract. The stipulation pro-
vides that the city of Racine take over
the plant under this understanding.
Kenosha to Own Resources.
If this plan were followed Kenosha
would be left to its own resources so
far as gas supply is concerned and
it is admitted that the equipment that
the company has in Kenosha is in no
way sufficient to meet the peak load
Of the gas demand for this city. At
the present time very large amount
Of the gas used in Kenosha comes to
the city through the high pressure
mains from Racine and if the stipu-
lation agreed upon is carried out
the city of Kenosha might be great
" handicapped.
II an nos greatly worried about the
matter.2 said orc Of the x.
eis this m7 tx. 4leel ceetle
that the commission @ol,d not gre ts
sanction to any deal which wa-ld
bring about danger Of this kind to
Kenosha. I am aware that the facili-
ties which the company have here are
inadequate to the demands of Ke-
nosha, but l can not but feel that
some provision would be ordered to
take care of this condition before any
final action is taken"
Might Force Company to Build.
1t is possible that the decision Of
the city of Racine to take over the
lions share of the business of the COM
pany in that city would force the Wis
consin Gas and Electric company to
build a plant in Kenosha adequate to
the demands of the growing city. Many
of the people who have made a study
of the matter have declared that the
Kenosha plant should be separate
from the Racine plant and that Keno
sha should not be dependent on sis
ter city for its gas supply. The Of
fcials of Kenosha have no informa-
tion of an official nature on just what
is to be done 1t is possible that RAJ
cine might be willing to supply Keno-
sha with gas along plans followed in
the past, but this is believed to be
very doubtful under the stipulation
prepared. 1t is said that the stipu-
lation has been given the sanction of
Attorney Jackson who has been repre-
senting the company in the matter.
Hold Up Resolutions.
Resolutions offered to the city of
council some time ago which provided
for resembling all of the action taken
looking toward the purchase Of the
plant have been ordered held up pend
ing action on the stipulation which has
just been filed with the city attorney
and the mayor. 1t is expected that ac-
ton on the stipulation will be taken by
the Racine council early next week.

Roy Perkins Makes Signed
Confession to Chief
O'Hare on Tuesday.
ROBS ROOMING HOUSES
Was in Industrial School at
Lansing - Goes Bad Again
When He Comes Here.

Roy Perkins, 16 years of age, cleared
up his own conscience and cleared up
the police records in connection with
several petty robberies on Tuesday
evening when he made full confes-
sion to Chief of Police O'Hare and
other members Of the department and
he is now awaiting a hearing on charg
es of grand larceny. He was formerly
in an industrial school at Lansing,
Mich., but recently he has been in Ke-
nosha working at the plant Of the Nash
Motors company and living with a
brother at $50 Erie street. The report
of the police declared that the brother
of the young man was in no way con-
nected with his delinquencies and that
he had borne an excellent reputation
in Kenosha.
Robbed RoOming Houses.
Perkins signed confession, telling
of series of rooming house robberies
which he had pulled off in recent
weeks in Kenosha. He said that his
first home in Kenosha was at 81 Park
street where his proclivities as thief
netted him $40 in money and foun-
tain pen. At 463 Park street, his next
rooming house, he secured a silver
locket and silver pencil, and at 715
Edward street he got S37 in money.
-TAen--he- went to live at the home OF
Theodore West, $50 Erie street. From
this house he secured $22 in money,
two revolvers, fountain pen, silver
cigaret case and a gold lodge pin.
Mrs. West reported the loss of the
money from her pocketbook to the po-
lice on Tuesday afternoon and the po-
lice went to the house to make a
search.
Find Boy Cleaning Gun.
When Detective Rock entered the
room occupied by Perkins, he found
the boy busy cleaning an automatic
revolver. Rock disarmed him and in a
search of the room found five revolvers
and a decidedly good supply of ammu-
milton for them. Other articles al
legged to have been taken were found
in the room. When Perkins was taken
to the police station he strenuously
denied that he had stolen the things
but later on he made signed confess
sion telling of his operations in var
ious boarding houses. The boy is said
to be a member of we'll known fam
lily at Houghton. His brother was
greatly surprised at the discoveries
made by the police department.

MYSTERY HIDES
HUNT FOR FISHER
Chicago People Seek Keno
sha Man in Connection
with RumOr.
SEARCH MOTOR PLANTS

Considerable mystery surrounded
messages from Chicago on Tuesday
which sought to get some trace of
Herman F. Fisher, an accountant who
was alleged to be working in an auto
mobile factory in Kenosha and who it
was declared was sought in order to
obtain information in regard to the
disappearance Of the first husband of
his wife from Chicago.
It was said that Fisher had left Chi
cago following rumors of foul play in
connection with the disappearance of
the former husband. No further de-
tails of the case have been made pub
lie in Kenosha and Fisher has not as
vet been located. 1t was said that the
story which had been turned out from
Chicago is of a most sensational ma
ture but that it was being kept secret
pending the location of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fisher.
Not in City Directory.
The name "Herman F. Fisher" does
not appear in the Kenosha city direc-
tory and an examination of lists Of
accountants employed at local motor
car factories fail to reveal anyone by
that name now employed in Kenosha.
1t was said that an accountant by the
name Of Fisher was formerly employed
in the receiving stores Of the Nash
Motors company. He was known
among fellow employees as BUD
Fisher. This man is said to have been
alone when in Kenosha and so far as
was known to Kenosha fellow employ
ees he was not married He was Of
rather secretive frame of mind and
said little of his former life or his
family. Men who knew him we'll while
he was at the Nash plant said that he
had left Kenosha nearly three months
ago, saying that he was going to New
York. He left no forwarding address
at the plant or at the post office. It
is thought that this Fisher is the man
sought by the Chicago people. Fisher
was said to have worked in Kenosha
for two months.

Poland to Ask
Americas Aid
fRv Associated Press. J

Washington-Po Poland will ask imme-
date aid from the United States in its
fight against the soviet government of
Russia, Count Casimir Lucomirski, the
Polish minister announced here today.
The appeal will be based on the asser-
tions in the American note to Italy
that the United States will insist upon
the political independence and the ter
ritorial integrity of Poland. The re-
quest will probably be confined to an
appeal for the extension of credit in
the United States for purchase by
