BUYERS
CAUGHT IN net
Harry Stein of U. S. Bond
ing Company Buys War
Saving Stamps of JUS
tice Official.

The U. S. Bond Company, which for
several months has been doing bust
ness in government bonds at 2041a
Main street, fell under the fire of gov
eminent investigation on Friday after
noon and today a report was sent by
the federal officials to the post office
department Of the evidence collected to
show that the company had purchased
War Savings Certificates in spite of the
frequent warnings of Postmaster Cor
man that these certificates would be
honored only when presented by the
original holders. The justice official
cleyerly obtained the evidence and while
lis not certain what action will be
taken by the government, he inferred
that arrests might follow.
Official Sells Some Stamps.
The investigation was carried on
cleyerly by the government official. He
came into Kenosha Friday afternoon
and in perusing Kenosha papers read the
advertisement of the bonding company
Then he pushed perfectly good GER
tifcate with three Savings Stamps on it
into his pocket and went to the Office
of the company. Harry Stein, who
gives his address as Medford Hotel,
Milwaukee, and who has been the man
in charge of the office Of the U. S. Bond
Company, waited on the government Of
fetal. He showed ready willingness
to buy the stamps, but was only will
ing to pay $1,000 for the stamps whose
value is $12.72 today.
The government official, like any
other purchaser, dickered about the
price, but finally after explaining that
1910 was an enormous profit, took the
cash and returned to the office.
Postmaster German Calls Again.
An hour later Postmaster German
called on Stein at his office and asked
if he had purchased any stamps. Stein
admitted the purchase and the Post
master told him that report of the
matter had been sent to Washington.
Postmaster German explained this
morning that it was not certain what
J.
tain that whatever stamps have been
purchased by the company cannot be re-
deemed except by false afidavits and
the least that can happen to them is
that they lose all they have invested.
Warns Kenoshans Again.
Postal officials gave out the story Of
the affair this morning to warn Keno
shans again of the foolishness of deal
ing with brokers in the question of
War Savings Certificates. These may
be redeemed at the post Office by giving
ten days notice and without any ques-
tions asked and that too without ex-
acting the exorbitant profit which most
of the brokers have taken in dealing
with them.
There was no investigation, what
ever, by bond sales carried on by the
company, as these are entirely within
the regulations of the government.

HEALTH SITUATION
IS NOT SERIOUS
Just Regular Whooping Cough Epi-
demic'' is Answer of Health
Department to Rumors.

A .rumor was persistent on the streets
OF Kenosha this morning that there was
AN alarming amount of contagious dis
cases prevalent in Kenosha at this
time. Health Officer DR.. G. A. Winde-
sheim explained the situation and de
clared that any unconfrmed report that
Kenosha had a serious epidemic of any
kind was entirely ungrounded. During
Last week the report showed that there
were thirty-seven cases of whooping
cough reported, sixteen cases of chicken
pox, one of measles and two of scarlet
fever. This morning four more whoop-
ing coughs were reported and with the
exception of one case of smallpox
which has been carefully quarantined,
these are all the cases Of contagious
diseases in the city.
There is absolutely no cause for
alarm, it was said at the office of the
health department. Ns'We are having
our annual visit of whooping cough
and chicken pox, but that is to be
expected and it is not in an male
VIOLENT form. -
The authorities declared, of course,
that the public should not at this time
or at any time give up taking precau-
tions against the spread of any cpl
demic and that families might well
watch ther children in order to keep
these diseases down to minimum. It
was pointed out that the number of
cases of contagious diseases now pres
ent in Kenosha was not greater than
that of any year when whooping cough
is present.

Kenosha Enumerators Completing
Work of Census and District Supt.
Asks People to Aid to Prevent Any
One Being Missed in Count.

Has your nose been counted yet9
Are you sure that you and the kiddies
have been included in the census of
Kenosha? Has the young lady or gen
tleman with the formidable looking
documents called at your house to get
information for the federal censuss
Next Friday the work Of taking the
federal census is supposed to be com
pleted and the various enumeTators now
at work in Kenosha are to have their
work completed by that time. In some
of the districts the work is just about
completed now and it is important to
the city Of Kenosha that none of its
citizens be missed.
For the past ten days the enumera-
tors have been making the rounds in
Kenosha but no statement has been
made and none will be made in regard
to the number of people counted.
When the report of the census is given
out it will be given out by the federal
officials at Washington.
Kenosha Expects 5000.
Kenosha people who have been study
ing the growth Of the city in the past
few years believe that the census for
1920 will show a total population in
the city Of more than $4,000. To reach
this mark every single resident in the
city must be counted.
In another column of today's paper
will be found coupon which will give
any one who has been overlooked q
chance to get his name into Uncle
Sans big 1920 book. If you have not
given the data on your family, send
this coupon to the director of the CEN
sus for the district and he will see to
it that the enumerator calls on you and
gets all the figures necessary. This
coupon will be found on page Of this
evenings paper and it will be run on
some page of the paper for several
days with view Of aiding the district
supervisor to get full list of the
people in Kenosha
Two More Weeks for Country.
Two more weeks will be allowed for
the counting of the people out in the
rural districts of the county and the
work is now well progressed in every
town in the county. In the city the
enumerators are expected to have all
the work completed and their returns
made by next Thursday night.
The enumerators have been very
busy and great boxes full of blanks
bearing the names of Kenosha people
have already" been started On their way
to the census bureau in Washington.
They will be tabulated and counted
there and even if a local enumeration
would want to give out figures on his
district, in defiance of the regulations,
it would be very hard for him to do it.
The government is expected to give
out the census figures about the middle
Of May orlthe first of June.

ITALIAN Mother
in love TRIANGLE

A tangled Glove triangle Of, two
continents came to light in Kenosha on
Friday afternoon when beautiful
Italian woman, only recently arrived
from sunny Italy, appealed to various
organizations in this city to help her
find her husband or to assist her in the
support Of her two children. The
young woman, soon expecting to again
be a mother, sobbed out in Italian to
some friends at the boarding house
where she has been staying, the story
Of the arrangement of her husband
and plead for the sake of the children
that some help be found for her.
Husband is a Kenoshan.
The pathetic story started back in
Italy several years ago when the hus-
band, now Kenosha italian, left his
wife in sunny Sicily with their two
children and sailed to America to seek
new home and a fortune. He pros
pered here and several months ago sent
money to his wife to bring the children
and come to America to live.
Two weeks ago the mother, beauti-
full Italian woman, arrived in Kenosha
and the husband secured a temporary
home for them in the Italian district
in Kenosha. Several days ago, CON
WINGED of the infdelity of his wife, he
left them and although he is believed
to be still in Kenosha, he cannot be
located.
Sobs Out Story Of Triangle.
Friday afternoon the young immi-
grant mother sobbed out the story of
the love triangle which had caused the
estrangement Of her husband. Friends
of the husband believe that he will at
least become reconciled enough to care
for their children and various plans are
being considered for caring for the
little mother who is now stranded
thousands of miles away from her
home.
The case has aroused sympathy from
many of the people of the Italian dis
trict who in the short time that the
mother has been here have learned to
know her and it is believed that some
way will be found out of the unfor-
tunate domestic tragedy.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
ON MARKET SQUARE
Second Mysterious Fire
within Six Months En-
dangers Public Service
Building on Market St.


The second mysterious fire within the
period of six months was discovered in
the Public Service building at one
Q clock Sunday morning and but for the
timely warning of Officer Bienemann,
who turned in the alarm and the prompt
response and quick work of the fire
department, that building would now
be mass of ruins
The fire originated in the real estate
Office of III. c. Crook and its origin is a
mystery to every one. Mr.. Crook states
that he had varnisher in the Office
late Saturday evening who was still
there when he left as he had not vet
finished the work he had been employed
to do. 1t is thought by those who have
viewed the scene of the fire that the
varnisher must have thrown q lighted
cigarette in the waste basket which
smoldered there, gradually igniting the
paper. From the paper in the waste
basket the fire spread until it exploded
a benzine can which was standing on a
shelf in the corner of the room. This.
explosion saved the building, for it
blew out the windows of the room and
the flames bursting out brightly at
tracted the attention of Bienemann who
was passing at the time. He turned in
a fire alarm and the fire department. re-
sponded Immediately, extinguished the
fire with chemicals and saved the
building.
Walls are Charred
The walls of the room are eharred
and blackened with smoke and the
damage to the building is estimated at
three hundred dollars. Mr.. Crook esti-
mates his loss to furniture and other
things he had in the Office at one hund-
red dollars.
The fire department was called out
to extinguish fire in Socialist Hall
corner Sheridan Road and Prairie
avenue, Saturday night Sparks from
the chimney set fire to the roof and
caused damage of twenty-five dollars.
