The Steamer Charles McVea, of the
Hill Steamboat line, broke her Tudder
near Waukegan Saturday evening and
was unable to proceed further on her
way to her destination in this city.
Consequently the Tug-Boat Pugh went
down yesterday morning and piloted
the boat, TO .Kenosha. The McVea came
from Wankegan to the southern en-
trance to the harbor on its own power,
the tug-boat just doing the steering,
but when the karbor was reached the
ting had to pull the steamer through
the ice TO the wharf.

Kenosha has the fifth highest tax
rate in Wisconsin this year. This is

cities Of the state. 1t is admitted that
in some Of the cities the valuation is
not as near to the hundred per cent
maximum as is the valuation Of Keno
sha. Some Of the cities have more
nearly 10000 valuation. The valuation
OF Kenosha is rated at 75so Of the true
value Of the property and this is re-
garded as a high valuation.

Nash Motors Co. Is Not
Caught Mapping BY Clever
Scheme of ShreWd
Portuguese. I
HAD TRADE -MARkUEGISTERED
Kenosha Co. Had outguessed schemer
and Had Their Trade Mark Registered
At Berne Conference and In Coun-
tries Where Dealer Operates.

The clever scheme Of one Manuel de
Silva Carmo, of Oporto, Portugal, a
European motor dealer, who, according
to recent dispatches took advantage of
the international trademark and pat
emit lasvs to obtain control Of the prin-
cipal automobile markets Of continen-
tai Europe and South America for
American made cars, failed to trap the
Nash Motors Company Of Kenosha, ac-
cording to the statement made this
morning by w. II. Afford, vice presi-
dent of the local concern. Mr.. Afford
declared that the Nash company fore
seeing such scheme had already Sc
cured the registration Of their trade
mark in almost all of the countries in
which this man operated and that they
would not be in the least affected by
his operations.
Many Companies are Caught.
1t is said that Carmo has caught in
his scheme more than forty Of the larg-
est automobile companies in America.
Mr.. Afford this morning branded the
scheme as one of the ''most piratical' =
that has ever been planned against
American manufacturers but he admit
tied that according to his knowledge Of
1.-THE patent and trademark laws, Carmo
might be able to hold up the companies,
NOW caught in his plan, until they made
some kind Of 3 settlement with him,
BY obtaining registration OF trade
marks in his own name in Portugal,
lCarmo ID enabled under the Berne
trademark convention to extend his
control OF these trademarks to the
twelve other countries which are par
ties to that convention, unless the
american owner has previously OBJ
tanned registration in those countries
Isswyer Discovers the Plan.
Carmo s attempt to conner most OF
the world market, for forty.three Amer
lean makes of automobiles and tractors
was discovered when Albert @. Parker
of Marks & Clerk, international patent
lawyers, attempted TO obtain European
registration Of trademarks on behalf
of the Jordan, Mercer and some other
ears.
The European correspondents of the
firm found that Csrmo had recently APP
piled for the registration Of those trade
marks in his name.
In the countries where Carmo obtains
the trademarks, he is the only man en-
titled to sell these cars or tractors. He
will have the legal right to have con-
.AscSted in his favor all cars bearing
those trade marks, which are shipped
to those countries.
Holds q Strong Hand
He thus is in a position to force the
manufacturers of these cars TO make
him their agent on his own terms, or
stop doing business there.
He win also be able, if he chooses,
to buy secondhand or other cars and
sell them under any of the trademarks
he possesses.
1t costs Carmo only $50 to procure
the registration Of each trademark at
Berne after he obtains registration in
Portugal.
The United States not, being a party
to the Berne convention, it is necessary
for manufacturers to procure registra-
ton separately in each country, in
which they wish to do business.

SOCIALISTS PLAN
THEIR CAMP PAICN
Private Ownership AS Means
of Production
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
CONSIDERED CAMOUFLAGE
National Office Will Make Cam
paign as General as Possible
Over Country

Chicago, Sept. 14.-The big issue
in the Socialist campaign this fail is as
usual private ownership Of the means
of production, Otto Branstetter, ma
tiOnal secretary and campaign manag-
er of the Socialist party, said here
today discussing the Socialist cam
paign.
The League of Nations issue was
viewed by the Socialists as largely
camouflage.' he said. The party felt
that the league question had been in
troduced by the old parties largely to
cloud the issues and keep the peoples
attention off dome tic issues.
Eugene V. Debs, the, Socialist pres
idential candidate, in prison at Allan
ta, Ga, was not advising the conduct
of the campaign to any extent. Use
was being made in party literature of
what he said to Socialists visiting him.
The chief speaker in the campaign
is the vice-presidential candidate, Sey-
mour Stedman, of Chicago, re-enforc-
Ell by 40 speakers or more under the
nationak organiza ton. He has COM
pleted a tour of the southwest and on
September l started for the Pacific
coast. After making a round Of the
central states he plans TO go east
about October l for the balance Of
the campaign.
Secretary Branstetter said the party
expected to be on the ballot in prac-
tically every state where it has pre-
viously had a vote of any consequence.
1t does not expect, at this time to get
on the ballot In Vermont, Louisiana,
New Mexico, South Oak ota Idaho and
possibly in several other states in the
south and west
The three big states this fall from
the Socialist standpoint, Branstetter
said, are New York, Wisconsin and
Oklahoma. He said the party expect
ed to poll larger vote in these states
than ever before.
large part of the party member
ship outside Of, the foreign league fed
erations has come back, the Social
list executive reported, referring to the
split, last fall which resulted in for
nation of the Communist party and
he Communist Labor party.
No policy of concentration in sec
tions where Socialist sentiment is
strong will be carried on by national
headquarters. according 10 the party
secretary. He said that the national
once was making the campaign as
general as it could, leaving concentra-
ton to the state organizations, which
could undoubtedly carry on such a
policy in New York, Oklahoma and
Wisconsin.
