February hearing has been completed
by the clerk Of the court and on the

NO NEW TRIAL
IN MARTIN CASE
Judge Denies Motions to
Set Aside Verdict and
Grant New Trial.
VERDICT WILL STAND

The tempest in teapot out at Cross
Lake, which was brought about by the
trouble between Charles Martin and
DR.. Byron Corbin, wealthy Chicago
men, was ended for the time being at
least this morning when the formal
judgment was filed in the Office of the
circuit court in the suit of Martin VS..
Corbin. The Judgment provides that
Martin receive from Corbin the sum
of $4,000 allowed to him in the verdict
of the jury and in addition judgment
of costs in the amount of something
like SITS. With the judgment, it is
announced that Judge E. B. Belden,
who heard the case in the circuit court,
has denied the motions of the defend
ant to have the verdict set aside and
for a new trial.
1t is declared that the case may be
taken to the supreme court as the two
Chicago men are wealthy and they
seem to be willing to continue the bat
tie over the troubles arising from
fence line differences. Corbin had or
iginally asked for $4,000. Several
other suits connected with the differ
ences between the two men are pend
ing, but it is not expected that they
will be tried at this term of the cir
cult court and they may be held open
pending final decision on the first
case. tried.

.SCH0LEY REPORTS
TO POLICE BOARD
Letter to Commissioners
Says He Found Officers
in a Saloon.
NO ACTION Is TAKEN

Crusader John NJ Scholey carried
his battle against the police force to
the floor of the Police and Fire Com
mission on Friday evening when he
sent a letter to the members of the
commission informing them that he
had seen Police officers Borden and
Kramer in a saloon at che corner of
Jenne and Rowland avenue when he
had gone to make a raid on the place.
He asserted that the time of the raid
was time when the two officers nam
ed should have been on duty. Scholey
in his communication to the commits
sion did not ask that any action be
taken in the matter but he stated that
he desired to have the members Of the
board fully informed on the action of
the police officers. The members of
the commission filed the letter for
further reference but it was stated
by the members of the commission that
no order was issued to have the men
appear and if any action is to be tax
en- in the matter Borden and Kramer
will be called to explain their pres
#ence in the saloon at some future meet
ing Of the commission
No Complaint Against O'Hare
Constable Scholey stated this morn
ing that at the same time he had filed
a complaint with the commission
against Chief of Police owen O'Hare
alleging lack of cooperation on the
part Of the chief of the department.
"Never heard of that complaint" said
one Of the members Of the commission
this morning, "there was nothing
about Chief O'Hare in the letter which
Mr.. Scholey sent to the board. Possibly
he intended to mention this little mat
ter and forgot about it. The commits
sion expects Mr.. Scholey to make his
charges more definite at some future
meeting and it will be ready to con-
slider them when they are filed in
the proper FORM"
The meeting of the commission last
ed only ten minutes and no other mat
ter Of interest was brought before the
commissioners.

Italy Establishes
Immigration Bureau
Object Will be to Establish Immi-
grants in Foresight Countries
in Homes.

Rome-A syndicate with capital of
100000 lire has been organized here
to promote emigration and to assist
the Italian emigrants in their enter
prises in which they may engage in
other countries. 1t is intended also
to make study of the opportunities
offered by the foreign countries to
Italian immigrants and to protect
them in their efforts to find new
homes and means of livelihood out
side of italy.
The syndicate includes in its mem
bership some of the most important
Italian banks, steamship companies
and representatives of workmens or
CARNATIONS both Socialist and Catholic.
In order to equip the immigrants for
new modes of life in foreign countries,
special schools have been founded to
teach them to read and write and to
train them for trades or farm work.
1t is understood here that Brazil is
the country having the greatest need
for workers but that Brazil requires
not so many individual immigrants as
it needs entire families to populate
the immense extent of land. Further
more, Italian emigration to Brazil is
held somewhat in check by the belief
that large capital would be needed to
cut the forests from the land which
the Brazilian government desires to
populate. It is pointed out that the
syndicate now organized may furnish
some Of the capital required for that
purpose.

Mary Pickford Tries
to Quash Divorce Case
by United Press)

Minden, Nev.-Mary Pickford, movie
actress, through her lawyer, made an
effort to quash suit of the state Of
Nevada to annul her divorce from
Owen Moore. Since obtaining her d.
vorce from Moore she has married
Douglas Fairbanks. The states suit
to annul the divorce was filed on the
ground that Miss Pickford falsely
stated that she was going to make
Nevada her home when she started the
suit. Lawyers representing Miss Pick
ford were ready to argue in support
of her motion that the states case be
quashed on the grounds that the state
had no jurisdiction in the matter and
that the state was not a proper plain
tiff. Atty.-Gen. Fowler appeared in
person for the state.

Attorneys for Frank Lang Are to Ask for
Longer Time in Which to Prepare
Request for New Trial
WILL SPEND CHRISTMAS IN JAZZ
Probabilities Are That the Court viii Grant the Re
quest and Lang Will Still Remain in Jail Here
Until After the First of Year

Frank Lang, recently convicted of
murder in the second degree in con-
nection with the staying of Charles
Pacini, will probably spend Christmas
in Kenosha, awaiting the outcome of
arguments for new trial and to set
aside the verdict of the jury as con-
trary to the law and the evidence. 1t
is announced today that when the cir
cult court cOnvenes on Monday morn
ing at ten o'clock to hear the argu-
ments on motions which were made by
the attorneys of Lang after the return
of the verdict a long adjournment of
the hearing will be asked and this ad-
journment will be continued over the
Christmas holiday and possibly over to
the new year. Attorney A. E. Buck
master said in regard to the matter:
when the matter comes up on Mon
day, we shall ask for a considerable adj
journment of the hearing, possibly
thirty days, and I am of the opinion
that the court will grant US the time
asked"
Argument Not Ready for Court.
after spending two full weeks in
court in the trial of the case," con-
tinued Mr.. Buckmaster, 1--WE found that
we were so far behind with other work
in the Office that it was necessary for
us to take care of this work and it has
been impossible for US to find the time
to prepare for the argument on the
motions in the Lang case. We feel
that time should be allowed to us to
make the study of the case we have
planned and we feel that the court will
take this view of it."
Mr.. Buckmaster did not intimate
what line the argument might take or
as to what newly discovered evidence
might be brought out in connection
with the argument. The defense has
held that there was error in the trial
of the case and such matters will be
presented to the judge at the time of
the argument on the motions.
No Objection Declares Fisher,
District Attorney Peter Fisher was
seen later and told that the attorneys
for Lang would ask for an adjourn
ment when the matter comes up on
Monday before Judge Belden. "The
state will not oppose any reasonable
adjournment of the hearing" declared
Mr.. Fisher. "While the state would of
course like to have the case finally dis
posed of as soon as possible, we want
to be just as fair as possible in the
matter and if the defense wants thirty
days in which to look up matters which
they believe are of interest, we shall
not seriously oppose the motion for an
adjournment. AS 1 have frequently
said, we are entirely agreeable that
the defense in this case show to the
court every item it may deem inter
esting in the matter and we shall re-
serve the right to answer such argu-
ments as may be presented. We have
no desire to rush Lang off to prison
and if the attorneys who have repre-
sented him want him to remain here
for another month, pending arguments

ing Division of the Estate.

Liquor is Planned

Milwaukee.-Th prohibition depart
ment at Washington has compiled a
new list of regulations governing the
removal Of liquor from warehouses by
private individuals. Advices from
Washington assert that, notwithstand-
ing the recent decision of the supreme
court declaring such removal to be
legal, the department is not satisfied
that it exceeded its powers by its
former regulations and the new orders
will greatly restrict any removals an

the decision by the department and the
order, which will be issued publicly
within few days, will not allow such
open removal as was believed would
follow the courts decision.

some immediate effort to get the ap-
plications in for the new automobile

in the hands of the clerk and he is
asked to have as many of them as
possible filled out beginning with
next Wednesday.

of January but the department. will
hold the old numbers until that time
so that the people who want them
may be accommodated.

GERMANY NOT SORRY
ABOUT HER CONDUCT
To Be Sorry About Lusitania Would
Be Disloyalty to Father
land.
(By Associated Pregs)

Berlin Germany feels that in her
conduct of the war she was no more
criminal than the allies and she is not
seeking the forgiveness of the world
according to Doctor Bernard Dernbur
in remarkably open letter TO the for
eign minister Tuerry Don of Argentina
who is officially attending the League
of Nations assembly at Geneva. He
stated that he did not consider the
isnking of the Lusitania as criminal
and for him to take such an attitude
of the disaster would be disloyalty to
his fatherland.
