BOOZE CARGO ON
THE MOVE AGAIN
Rumor Declares Big S75,-
Booze Shipment Takes
Wings Again.
RUMORS ARERA MPANT

Monday night was another busy
night for the Kenosha whiskey
smugglers who recently brought the
$4,000 shipment Of liquor into Keno
sha and unloaded it while federal pro-
hibition officials tarried, according to
well founded rumor in the city this
morning, 1t is declared that the ship
ment which was supposed to be stored
away awaiting the call Of the federal
officials, took wings again on Monday
evening and is now safely hidden
away in a new hiding place.
Worked All Night Again.
do l look tired y asked one man
this morning of friend, who greeted
him in downtown store. "Well, /
ought to bel worked all night, but
I made $4,000 by doing it."
The man in question had all the
appearance Of man who might have
worked all night. His collar was
wilted down, his hands were rough
and he was all tired out. He went on
to explain that it had become neces-
sary to move the big cargo of liquor
the trick. He did not volunteer any
information as to where the moving
van had started or where it stopped
but stated, as if he knew, that the
booze was most assuredly not where
it was twelve hours earlier.
Other Rumors Are Rampant.
1t was added, however, that not all
Of the whiskey cargo was stored away
in this one place and that the part
had been distributed" on the night
that the car was emptied was not
touched last night. Along with this
rumor comes a statement said to
emanate from the federal officials in
Milwaukee that three hundred and
fifty cases Of the liquor has remained
in the whiskey car all the time and
can be seized there at any time. No
one is allowed to go near the car at
the freight yards here and there is no
way to test this rumor. It is adj
mitted that the car has been guarded
carefully enough to give credence to
the rumor that some Of the precious
liquor is yet stored away in it, but
tH1S 10 contrary W I'LL STATEMENTS
made following the unloading of the
car, both by persons interested in
the shipment and by federal officials.
eff there are three hundred and fifty
cases left in that car" declared one
of the men who saw it unloaded,
"there must have been considerably
more than seven hundred and fifty
in it to start with 1t may be that a
few cases were left for evidence, but
it is my opinion that if the federal of
ficials think this booze car is still half
full they have another guess coming"
From Milwaukee came the word this
morning that the rumors of moving the
cargo had reached that city and that
the flying squadron Of prohibition of
ficials were expected to reach Kenosha
today to continue their work on the
case.

ALLEN A FROLIC
REAL SUCCESS
Big Time at Silver Lake
Proves Enjoyable to Men
from Hosiery Plant.
NO RECORDS JUST FUN

The outing of the Allen A. Bowling
League held at Silverleke on Saturday
afternoon was one Of the real big
events of the summer for the factory
men Of Kenosha. It was one wonder
full JOY fest from the time the auto
mobiles pulled away from the big
Prairie avenue plant until the last
automobile got back long after dark
Saturday night.
There was feasting and sports and
good fellowship galore. Dinner was
waiting for the members of the party
when they reached the Silverlake
hotel and after the program Of
athletic sports was over there was q
banquet served at which covers were
laid for more than hundred people.
During the afternoon there was boat
ing and big program of athletic
sports. Some of the members of the
party failed to show in the athletic
program but they brought in strings
of fish to prove that they had not
been idle during the afternoon.
Homer Pickering Is Star.
Homer Pickering was the star of
the occasion. He romped off first
honors in the 100 yard dash and then
turned around and took the lead in the
obstacle race. The real laugh pro-
voking contest was the egg throwing
contest won by Nick Janesky. He
managed to keep from breaking his
oval jewel but half dozen other
less fortunate contestant splattered
themselves from head to foot in an
attempt to win the prize.
The main feature of the afternoon
was the baseball game when G. Mel
sons office men were defeated u to 6
NJ. Schulisn's mill men. The boat
race was won by Kraugh and Nelson
while Bonson's team took the tug of
war.
Much Of the success of the occasion
was due to the efficient management
of the affair by the committee COM
posed Of Henry Herzog, William
Diehlman and Thomas B. Temple.

STUDENTS SEEK
LABOR PERMITS
Big Rush for Vacation
Permits to Work Keeps
Officials Busy.
ONE BOY WAS GIRL =

Wouldn't it be embarrassing to you
to have lived for fifteen years under
the impression that you were boy
and then find that you were officially
a girl, and wouldn't it sort of jar you
if for just as many years you had
developed the finer qualities Of the
feminine gender only to find that you
were officially boy?
This is the complication which con-
fronted two young people in Kenosha
on Monday afternoon. They were stu
dents at the Kenosha High school and
with scores of others they went out
seeking vacation permits to work dur
ing the long vacation. Their discov-
cry indicates that records of Kenosha
county as returned by people who pre-
sided at the visits Of the stork are as
badly mixed as in the famous story of
Mark Twain Puddin Head Wilson.
No Chance for Argument.
was officially of the feminine gender
and the girl that she was as mascu-
line as they make them. Now they are
trying to get untangled.
There are lots of just such cases. .
declared Register of Deeds Schmitt.
Il don't know what we can do to help
these people out and guess that the
boy will have to wear dresses and
that the girl will have to put ON
over-alls.n
The error of the doctor or the mid
wife way back fifteen years ago will
not prevent the students getting per-
mits. Permit issuing officers were
working overtime today in an effort
to get all the permits issued SO that
the students can go to work.

Against Land Law
(By United Pressl

Washington Japan has lodged what
amounts to an informal protest with
the State Department against proposed
legislation in California providing for
absolute prohibition of ownership or
lease 'of land by Japanese, it was
learned today. Serious complications
may arise should the proposed measure
be made a law, it was feared here in

FREE GARBAGE
CANSFOR PEOPLE
Council Orders Ordinance
in Regard to Garbage
Collection Followed.
GIVE PLAN A TRIAL

The people of Kenosha are to have
free garbage cans as we'll as free col
lection Of garbage, for with the deci-
sion that the present system of collec-
tion was a "fzzle' and a s'farce" the
council ordered the commissioner Of
public works to go back to the original
plan devised by the council to make
the collection of garbage successful.
To this end the seven thousand gar
bage cans now in the city's warehouses
will be distributed free to the people
of the city. People who have already
purchased a garbage can will be en-
titled to an additional can for the use
in storing ashes for collection by the
city teams and the cans will be given
out free with the understanding that
when they are worn out the property
owners must provide for new cans.
Anderson Says "Only Way"
Chairman Anderson of the health
and sanitation committee, told the
council that this was the only way to
work out the plan for universal col
lection of garbage in the city. He de-
clared that the people had shown no
willingness to buy the cans and that
under the plan followed the garbage
collection system was rapidly develop
ing into farce and that uncollected
garbage continued to be menace to
the health Of the people of the city.
The free cans will be distributed I'M
der the direction of the commissioner
of public works and it is expected that
it will take till the first of August
to complete the distribution. The
plan means the putting Of a city
garbage can into every home and
apartment in the city.
No Other Big Difficulties.
The committee declared that it had
no other great difficulties and it was
declared that the use Of the big
tanks" for the collection of the gar
bage was not proving serious prob
lem even if. they were little heavy
for horses when it came to pulling
them out of dumping places. A report
from the committee showed that there
had been a complete examination made
Of the teams recently purchased for the
city and they passed inspection. Bills
for the horses were ordered paid.
1t was declared that the new city
dump at the foot of Park street was
working out admirably and that the
work was going forward without any
reason for protest on the part of the
people in the neighborhood.
It was said that the committee was
still hopeful that the Detroit company
would build the reduction plant in
Kenosha before the end of the pres
ent year.

PUT QUESTIONS
TO KENOSHANS
Kenosha Business Men to
Vote on Chamber Of
Commerce Referenda.
ON LABOR QUESTIONS

Kenosha business men, as represent
ed in the Chamber of Commerce, will
record their views soon on twelve i'm
portant labor principles drawn up by a
special committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States. The
declaration of principles constitutes
the 91st referendum vote taken by the
national chamber. More than 1900
trade and commercial organizations,
members of the national body, are en-
titled to vote.
On the Strike Question.
The local organization has received
from the national chamber also a ref
erendum pamphlet carrying the rec
concentrations of another committee
that measures should be taken to pre-
vent public utilities employees from
striking.
The national chambers policies are
determined as result of these refer
enda, which are laid before the gov
eminent departments and before con-
gress as representing the concensus
view of business interests throughout
the country on vital questions.
Many Important Topics.
The first referendum was prepared
by the Washington headquarters of
the national chamber after study by a
special committee which was appointed
after the close of the presidents first
industrial conference to consider the
principles presented by the employers
group in the conference.
The committees report on the first
referendum expresses its belief in the
right to engage in any lawful business
and to enter into any lawful contract,
in the right of open shop operation,
the right to reject collective bargain
ing, the right of the state or nation
over associations of employees and en-
ployers, the right of the state to regu-
late the output of industries, and the
right Of labor to proper safeguards for
health and legitimate wage for his
labor. It also calls for some statement
on the question Of an eight-hour day
and for the establishment of a court
of arbitration in all large industries
for industrial disputes. It acknowl-
edges that the state and nation are
sovereign and that the public interest
must be the paramount consideration,
Second Deals with Strikes.
The second referendum submitted
consists of two recommendations
drafted by the chambers committee on
public utilities. These recommends
tions are that: Strikes by employees
of all public service corporations, per-
forming public service essential to the
lives, health, well-being and comfort
of the people should be explicitly pro-
hibited by law. Suitable tribunals
should be created by the law to adju-
dictate differences between employees
of public service corporations and
their employers, and the decisions of
such tribunals should be final and
binding upon both parties"
The method that will be used to give
the Kenosha business men an oppor-
tunity to vote on the referenda has not
as yet been determined. 1t is prob
able that letter containing copies of
the referenda with blank ballot will
be sent to each member calling for the
vote to be recorded within few
weeks. The outcome of the referen-
dunn votes will be watched with inter
est throughout the nation.
