GETS HIS CALL
TO WEST POINT

Adolph Rasmussen, 725 Pomeroy
street, this morning received tele-
gram from the war department an
nouncing that he had been accepted as
cadet at West Point Military Acad-
envy and directing him to report for
duty on June 18th.
Cadet Rasmussen was appointed as a
cadet to the military academy follow
ing civil service examinations held in
the state in which he was credited
with making the highest mark shown
by any of the contestants. He was ap-
pointed by Congressman G. E. Randall.
Exempt from Examination.
On account Of the splendid showing
made by the Kenosha cadet on the civil
service examinations he was exempted
from the regular entrance examina-
tions. This is one of the highest hon
ors ever shown to any boy from Keno
sha entering West Point.
The acceptance of Rasmussen as a
cadet will be popular one in Keno
sha as the young man has been one Of
the most popular students of the Ke-
nosha High school. He was graduated
from the High school and later spent
two years at the College of Commerce.
He has wonderful equipment for his
work at West Point.
During his High school course Ras-
mussen was leader in many of the
activities of the school. He was one
of the best athletes ever developed at
the Kenosha school ard he was lead
err in all school activities. He had the
leading role in "The Tutor" the class
play given in February of 1919 and had
taken an active part in other school
dramatic entertainments. Cadet Ras-
mussen is a son of O. Rasmussen, well
known Kenosha manufacturer; and
brother Of Miss Irma Rasmussen, the
county nurse.

NAME OF COMPANY
USED By FORGER
Three Checks Cashed by Alleged
Workman Are Found and Others
Expected to Come In.

That considerable sum of money
may have been secured as a result of
the issuance Of forged checks signed
in the name Of the Nash Motors COM
pany, became known today when three
Of these checks were in the hands of
officials and they were confidently ex-
pecting that others would put in an
appearance before the day was over.
The total of the amount secured on the
checks SO far found is Mss than 500
and it is evident that the forgery Of
the name Of the big motor making
company was the work of some work
man. The police declined to discuss
the matter, holding that they had not
gone far enough into the case to make
a definite statement.
The checks so far uncovered are
made out in the names of Joe Smith,
George Smith and James H. Harris and
the name of Mash Motors Company"
is signed with lead pencil. Under
the company name on each check the
name of some other person is written
in. There was one check for $50, an
other for $35, and another for S25.
Forgeries Are Poor.
1t is evident that the checks were
all signed in the same handwriting and
it is believed that the forgeries were
engineered by one man, possibly
workman employed at the Nash fac
tory. The first of the checks was made
out and passed on May 3rd at the store
OF William E. Stevens and since that
time the other checks have been To-
Gated. The last one was brought to
light this morning. 1t was the $50
check.
The checks were not company
checks" and the people who were close
ly in touch with the business of the
Nash company would not be fooled by
them. The checks were all drawn on
the First National Bank of Kenosha.
It is declared that in each case the
checks were passed by man who ap
peared to be workman and that he
had made no explanation when he pre-
sented them for payment after making
small purchases. Efforts to find the
forger have so far been futile.
Not Company Checks.
W. H. Afford, vice-president of the
Nash company, said that he had not
as yet seen the checks but that he
felt certain that the company was not
issuing any checks signed with lead
pencil

HIDES IN MOUNTAINS
FOR TWO YEARS
Soldier Who Deserted from Camp
Sherman Found After Being in
Hiding for Two Years.
(Rv Associated Pressl

Chillecothe, Ohio@Stories Of how a
neighbor, deserted from the Union ar
my during the Civil War, had been
brought to bay in nearby village by
g United States marshal and shot,
brought visions of similar fate to
Carl Amerine and impelled him to hide
in the hills for almost two years rath-
er than face a firing squad at Camp
Sherman. He had left the camp in
1918 to visit neighboring village. At
home, his father, tottering wreck of
the Civil War, told him he was q de-
serter. Visions of the firing squad
flashed through his mind kissing his
wife and baby goodbye, he took to the
rugged hills. There he found cave
in which he spent most of the time.
His only fare was such scanty food
that his wife could get to him and
herbs and wild berries that he gath
cred from the woods and fields and
such wild game that he could catch.
The cave in which he lived is said to
be large enough for only one person
and could have been defended against
an army. So closely did he watch all
approaches to his hiding place that
until few days ago he had been seen
by no one except his wife and BROTH
er-in-law. Military authorities had
abandoned the search for Amerine.
Three weeks ago an attorney friend of
the family became interested and i'm
plored the wife to have her husband
return and give himself up. She stead
lastly held that her husband would be
shot if captured and refused to have
him return. Last week, Clarence Stone
Of Adelphi managed to get word to the
youth that his was not case of de-
sertion and there was no danger of a
firing squad. He cautiously left his
hiding place last Monday night and
visited Stones home where they went
over the situation. He agree to give
himself up. Early Thursday morning

RIOT OF CHEERS
Prison Bars Fail to Keep Socialists
From Naming Eugene v. Debs as
Candidate for President.
tBy Associated Pressl

New York. Eugene v. Debs, federal
convict No. ,2253, was nominated by ac-
clamation for President of the United
States by the Socialist party of Ameri-
ca at their national convention in ses-
sion here today. Cheer on cheer
greeted the naming of the Socialist
leader, who is now serving ten-year
term in the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta for violation of the espionage
act. The din continued for IL minutes
necessarily as all leaned forward to
see where life-sized portrait of Debs,
framed in black, was unveiled on the
platform. The demonstration was fl
nally broken by the singing of the
INTERNATIONAL" which drifted into the
"Marseillaise" and the Hymn Of Free
Russia" At the end of the demonstra-
tion which lasted more than 20 min
utes the delegates began marching in
prison lock-step around the hall.

AID SCRIBBLERS
MAY ORGANIZE

Walter a. Reed, secretary of the
Racine Commercial club, came to Ke-
nosha on Thursday and held confer
ence with George S. Whyte, president
of the Kenosha chamber of commerce,
to start a movement for the organiza-
tion in Kenosha of chapter of the
Confederated Advertising clubs of the
World. AS a result of the conference
a meeting will be called in the near
future at which it is planned to form
the club with the understanding that
at some later date it will become one
of the bureaus of the chamber of
commerce. Every man in the city com
nected with the advertising game is to
be invited to become charter member
of the organization. The purpose is
to better organize the work of adver-
Using in the city and surrounding ter
ritory. 1t is in no way an organization
fostered by the newspapers but it will
have the most serious support Of the
press.
Thirty Eligible to Membership.
There are thirty men in Kenosha
connected with the advertising game
who would be eligible to membership.
This includes members of the advertis-
ing staff of the MacComber and Whyte
company, Simmons company, Nash
Motors company, Allen A. company,
Cooper Underwear company, N. r. Al
lens Sons company, Frost Manufactur-
ing company, and other industrial con-
Germs in the city which are now enter
ing into the national advertising field.
1t would open its doors to all adver-
Using men employed by the retail
stores of Kenosha and to all men con-
nected with the advertising depart
ments of the newspapers of the city.
Secretary Reed expressed a hope
that the Kenosha Organization could
be completed between now and the
first week in June. Plans have already
been put under way for the organiza-
ton of similar club in Racine.
Milwaukee Seeks World Convention.
1t is expected that the city of Mil
waukee will secure the 1921 convention
of the Connfederated clubs, and it is
believed that such meeting in this
section of the state would give great
impetus to the work of advertising
along many lines.
Il am taking a deep interest in the
organization of this club and + want
to find way to be a member of it,"
declared President Whyte. "The world
is being run on properly conducted
advertising and can see the great
value Of this organization to Keno
sha and its interests. 1t is my plan
that the club be organized at once
with the understanding that it will
later be made one of the bureaus of
the chamber of commerce. This action
can be taken without the club in any
way losing its identity. I know that
a lot Of men are going to take an
interest in the organization"
For Business and Pleasure.
The advertising club would not be
built along the lines of all work and
no play. In other cities the clubs
among the advertisers are leaders in the
social life. 1t is believed that club
in Kenosha could be made of great
value. The business Of the club will
be to preach better advertising along
lines which will bring the most re-
suits, The fees for membership are
nominal, something like dollar and
a half year; and these fees confer
many privileges in connection with
the world wide organization.

JUDGE ROSA OUT
FOR CONGRESS

Messages from Beloit today state
that Judge E. B. Rosa of that city,
former member of the state legislature
and long one of the leaders in the
progressive Republican ranks in the
First Wisconsin district, has an
nounced that he will be candidate
for the Republican nomination for
representative in Congress from the
First Wisconsin district. Judge Rosa
has been planning his campaign for
many months and it is said that he
already has organizations working in
his behalf in many parts of the dis
trict. It is certain that he will have
strong support among the men who
have been closely connected with the
LaFollette organization in this section
of the state. Judge Rosa was one of
the men suggested for the Republican
nomination at the Elkorn convention in
1918 when Judge C. E. Randall of this
city was nominated. His political
friends attended the convention and
strongly urged him for the position.
Randall Workers Are Busy.
While Congressman Randall has not
sent any formal announcement that he
is candidate for reelection, his close
political friends have known for many
months that he is to be in the race
for a reelection and his friends all
over the district have begun organi-
cations in his behalf. A recent an
nouncement from Washington said that
Judge Randall would return to Keno
sha the middle Of this month to open
his campaign, but the coming of the
consideration of the soldier bonus bill
is holding the judge in Washington.
He is the author of one of the bills
which is being considered and which
provides proper recognition for the
service of the men in the army.
Reports from other portions of the
district indicate that there is very
strong sentiment in favor of the re-
election of the Kenosha congressman.
He has made an excellent record in
Washington and in single term has
won high place in the halls of
Congress.
Cooper in Field But Reticent.
n message 1IOH1 ES4CtHc IOOdy ooyS
that former Congressman H. A. Cooper
is an out and out candidate for the
Republican nomination, but that the
campaign is being conducted along
quiet lines and that he is waiting to
see just what is happening in the dis
trict before he makes any formal an
nouncement. 1t is admitted that Mr..
Cooper is hoping for the support of
the LaFollette organization in the dis
trict, but it is said that the an
nouncement of Judge Rosa on Friday
is sad blow to the Cooper men.
Racine papers also announce that
Cooper nomination papers are being
circulated in all parts of the district.
Mr.. Cooper has made no statement so
far, but promised to do so within
short time.
Some of the Kenosha Republicans
still believe that Robert Verne Baker,
who has been picked as the choice of
Senator LaFollette for congressman,
will be in the race. It is regarded as
certain that Mr.. Baker will not enter
the race unless there is concerted
movement for his nomination which
will bring the elimination of other
candidates who might divide the
LaFollette vote in the district. Mr.
Baker himself has made no statement
in regard to the matter.
