Lodging Is High
on the Sidel0Glk

The cost of Sleeping quarters is
going up in Kenosha. In fact, Albert
Somestick is convinced that it costs
about as much to get little sleep in
Kenosha as it does anywhere in the
country. He paid $5.72 this morning
for a little nap. The police officers
found the man fast sleep sitting on the
curb at the corner of, Park and West
Main street on Tuesday evening. mo
he did not appear to be drunk" the
officer told the court. "He was just
asleep. 81 was all tired out ard was
hunting for my boarding house" the
luckless worker told the court. The
story did not sound just right, but the
judge gave Somestick the benefit of
the doubt and released him on the
payment of the costs.

PLANS TO
ISSUE BULLETIN
Council Considers Publica-
tion of a Journal of
Statistics.
BURKE FOR PRESIDENT

Local labor is contemplating the
publication of a bulletin containing
statistics regarding workingmen in all
parts of the United States and more
especially in cities of the same indus
tries as are found in Kenosha.
At meeting of the Kenosha Trades
and Labor Council held in K. of C. hall
Tuesday evening special bulletin
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the project and report st the next
meeting of the council on its adgis-
ability and its contents in case the
various unions should approve its pub
lication. 1t was recommended that the
committee should consider paper to
be published at irregular intervals as
it might be needed to advance the
interests of local labor.
AS described by one of the members
today, the proposed paper will confine
itself to statistics and will be con-
cerned only secondarily with the con-
sideration Of national policies.
Burke Succeeds House.
The retirement of Dwight House
from the Trades and Labor Council
made necessary a special election at
Tuesday evenings meeting, in which
Charles Burke of the Simmons com
pany, was named to succeed Mr.. House
as president of the council. He will
assume the duties of his new office at
the next meeting of the council. Mr..
House has been very efficient as presi-
dent of the council and has done
much to promote a spirit of co-opera-
ton between employers and employees
in Kenosha.
New Delegates Seated.
Preceding the election Fred J. Bahr,
A. J. Meisbach, and Oscar Wesener,
were seated in the council as the new
~ elected representatives of the Typo
graphical union, local No. 116. Mr..
Bahr has served on the council be-
fore; Mr. Wesener succeeds Ex-presi-
dent House; and Mr.. Meisbach is be-
ginning his first term as a member of
the local labor conclave.
The suggestion that the council is
sue a special publication devoted to its
interests in Kenosha followed dis
cussion of an unauthorized article
which appeared recently in the col
umns of a local paper. The matter
will received further consideration at
the next meeting of the council as will
also the supplementary suggestion rel
alive to the issue of Labor Bulle-
tin. Both will be thoroughly investi-
gated by the special committee APP
pointed by retiring President House.
It was also decided at Tuesday even
ing's meeting to hold parade on La
Dor Day to be followed by the annual
picnic at Anderson Park.

KEN0SHAN ADMITS
THEFT FROM MAILS
Albert R. Morehouse, Local Mail
Collector, Confesses Taking
Sis from Registered Mail.

Because he needed the money to
pay debts" Albert r. Morehouse, Jr.,
aged 20 years, a mail collector employ
siding at 461 Sheridan Road, rifled
ten registered letters for a total of
more than S115 according to the con-
fession which he made just before
noon today to Postal Inspector John
B. Wleklenski in the Offices of Post
master James German. Morehouse has
been taken into custody and will be
taken to Milwaukee probably this evan
ing where the entire mater will be laid
before the federal grand jury.
1t was thought that young More
house might be arraigned before a
court in Milwaukee and perhaps re-
leased on bond pending the final hear
ing of his case.
Theft3 Committed in KenOsha.
The investigation which resulted in
Warehouses; confession this morning
started early in July when money was
found strangely missing from regis
tered letters mailed at the Branch
L
spectors found partial losses in several
eases and this morning when Inspec-
tor Wlekenski confronted Morehouse
with the evidence, the latter made a
clean breast of the affair.
In his confession, he admits that
from July the first until July the 21st
he opened ten registered letters which
he had collected from the West Side
station and took part or all Of the
money from them. He admitted that
in the case of three letters, one to
Waupun, one to Minnesota and another
to city in Texas, he had taken out
all the money in them because he
mail them again without danger of de-
lection. These letter, he said, he mad
destroyed.
RemaiIed Most Letters.
In the other seven eases, MorehOuse
had opened the letters, taken only a
part of the money contained in them,
resealed and remailed them. in one
of these instances it is said that $40
out of $50 was taken from the letter.
Morehouse admitted that after the
first theft from the mails, it had seem
ed so easy that he had continued rash
ly. He was extremely penitent and de-
clared that demands for money to pay
debts had forced him to attempt the
rifling the mails. Young Morehouse
had been employed at the local Office
only a few months and in all other
ways had proven very efficient en-
ployee there.
Member of Company NJ
Morehouse entered the civil service
after returning from service overseas
as member of Company M, the volun-
teer infantry company which was re-
cruited in Kenosha. He has many
friends here who are at complete
loss to explain his action.
While the postal officials refused to
make any definite statements there was
an intimation that Warehouses; youth
and the fact that he had served two
years in the army might secure him
some leniency before the court. The
maximum sentence for pilfering regis
tered mails is five years at the fed
eral prison and $4,000 fine, or both.

APPEAL TO CLASS
DECLARED A MENACE
Senator Harding Outlines More Clear.
ly His Stand in Regard to the
League of Nations.
(By Associated Press.

Marion, o. Decrying appeals to
classes as a menace second only to
surrender of nationality, Senator
Harding in his second front porch
president campaign speech today de-
clared that if he could choose but one,
he would "rather have industrial and
social peace at home than command
the international peace of all the
world" He asserted that it would
be unwise for this country to permit
"our activities in seeking for peace
in the old world to blind us to the es-
sentials of peace at home" and added
that "if America can be made to forget
the attempted barter of nationality
we'll and good" but that "when nation
atty. is surrendered to International
ity, little else matters, and all appeal
is vain" The address was delivered
to delegation of Wayne county, Ohio,
Republicans.
Taking up the League of Nations,
Senator Harding declared it to be the
other extreme to referendum on a
proposed declaration of war. ~ en-
phatically agree" he said, esthat no
authority other than congress may call
our boys to battle. Accepting this as
truth, why make a covenant which VIC
lates the good faith of nations? 2"
Suppose" he continued, shat under
Article x, program of armed force is
agreed upon, and the congress of the
United States declines to respond. The
executive would be called upon to car
ny on war without constitutional au-
thirty or we should prove our compact
no more than scrap of paper. We
are on the side of both safety and
honor to hold for ourselves the decis-
ion Of our obligations to the world"

Saves Time and Money.

Buying an engine is as far as we
have gone into the railway business"
said Assistant Superintendent Nehlsen
this morning. 81 do not believe that
the company has any intention of go
ing any farther but the engine is aid
ing very materially in speeding up the
movement of cars into and out of the
yards. We are no longer subject to
delays which might come through
using the regular switch engines Of
the company. Our own engine picks
up the cars about the yards and takes
them in and out. As the company
handles something like hundred cars
a day some idea can be gathered as to
the value Of the new service"
