The personal relations between O5-

During the years Quezon was the

Whenever he spoke he was assured Of
good attendance. One of the Official

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Apr. l7.-The cas-,
OF Dorsey Chambliss, policeman
charged with abducting a white Cir
who had applied TO him for helr
and of keeping her prisoner for
weeks, during which time she was
visited by other men, has attracted
considerable attention and has made
II impossible, according to Louis
B' Anderson for the defendant TO
secure fair trial in the courts.
Chambliss this week on hhe adj

resigned from the police force.
Bertha Wybeck a white girl six
teen years old, according to the
charges against Chambliss, came TO
chicago to earn her living. The
family in Panee Rock, Kansas was
poor and her brother still in the
Navy, so she and another girl came
here to live. The Wybeck girl
claimed that after being lost in the
vicinity of Thirty Fifth ,and State
Streets, and seeing Chambliss in a
policeman uniform asked him the
way to her stopping place. 1t is
stated that ChambIiSS lured the girl
TO resort, keeping her a prisoner
and forced her 10 receive visits from
other men.
one day, a pedestrian picked up
piece Of paper on which was writ
ten a message to the girls friend:
Il am a prisoner | am sick,
please tell somebody to rescue me-"
Signed Bertha.
The girl was finally located. TAX

number of white clubs of women
oavc taken active interest in the
case and demanded an early trial
and number of other demands
from which threats of such an ok

cared That he preferred not to hear
the case.
An editorial in the Chicago Trib- |
une has been widely copied nv
Southern newspaper and the case
because of the color of the defend.
ant has been given unusual notorie-
~. The attorney for Chambliss
claims that he is innocent of the
charge. Chambliss admits having
seen the girl and endeavored to dir.
ect her to home for girls on In
diana avenue, but declares he had
no part in her downfall. The de-
lays in the prosecution of the case
nave been due to postponement by
the States Attorney, for lack of di
rect evidence and it is possible that
mere may be other delays or the
case entirely dismissed because Of
the inability to secure witnesses to
prove the charges.

ROAD HOUSE KEEPER FINED

G. F. Rosenberger, proprietor Of the
Central Park Buffet or Golden Eagle,
which in it's day was popular rendez-
vous for certain Grand Rapids people
entered plea of guilty to selling
liquor after July 1st, 1919 before
Judge Sanborn in the U. S. Federal
court at Madison last week, and paid
a fine of $3.50, no costs being attached.
He was represented in court by At
torney Henry E. Fitch of Nekoosa.
The case at one time attracted
great prominence, in and around
Grand Rapids and not a few persons
of prominence here were summoned to
La Crosse last fall to testify and were
forced to tell about a number of spicy
little parties that were staged in the
road house.
Evidence against Rosenberger was
secured by Special Agent Bishop of
the Department of Justice, who was in
this vicinity for some time and who
made himself strong with the sport
ing element in the community and
then double crossed them
Judge Sanborn also fined a man
living at Wautoma similar amount
for selling liquor.

GETTING IN MORE ROCK

All through the recent cold spell
the city teams have never ceased to
haul rock and pile it along the streets
that are to be paved during the COM
ing summer.
Lack of material seriously delayed
the paving projects a year ago, and
this year it was decided to commence
buying rock during the winter and
unloading it at the points where it
will be needed
So far sufficient rock has been re-
ceived to probably lay the better por-
tion of the paving from the end of
Third avenue south, to the Packing
house corner, on the South Side, and
at present the teams are unloading
stone, along First street north, and
have sufficient piled up to run the
mixer from the Library up to the
brewery. City Engineer Thomson
hopes to have all his rock here before
active operation start, as once the sea-
son opens, deliveries will be slow, and
with the big program planned, the
crew must be kept going steadily, if
the entire job is to be finished.

Traffic on the four railroads lead
ing in and out of this city was prac-
tically reopened on Monday, after
having been tied up by the blizzard
which swept over the middlewest,
Wednesday and Thursday of last week
and for a time practically isolated
Grand Rapids and many other cities
from the outside world.
Wednesday and Thursday, a furious
snow storm, accompanied by high
wind swept up from the west and
northwest and within a few hours
had blocked both wagon roads and
rail lines until they were practically
impossible Though the total fall of
snow was not as great as that which
has fallen in the same period, before
this season, the wind drifted the light
flakes filing level to the surface of
the ground almost every cut and en-
bankment on all roads.
Stuck in the Snow.
Late Thursday afternoon the entire
train schedule on the G. B. & w. Ry.
was cancelled as drifts had complete
ly blocked the line. The train due here
at 2:15 was stalled at Alma Center,
But finally bucked thru, reaching here
at p. m. North and south bound
trains on the St. Paul had hard work
getting thru on both Thursday and
Friday, and come limping in hours
late Saturday night two coaches
were derailed by snow at Junction
City, and Sunday the north bound
train due here before noon was stuck
at Nekoosa by a coach being off the
rails. Thursday three engines were
stuck in mountain of snow near Ru-
dolph, and had to be shovelled out by
section men.
The Northwestern was also laid out
by the snow and it was reported by
officials of the ,ine that no trains were
thru here from Thursday noon until
some time the following day.
Agent w. L. Atwood of the 500 Line
stated that his road had less trouble
than the other roads, but that the
trains had great difficulty in maintain
ing service Thursday and Friday.
All trains were coming thru on Sat
urday and Sunday, but in most in

welcomed rot only as a possible
means of doing good to those who
would attend such meetings, but al

thods, but our aim is to preach the
Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
thus to save souls

WORK CEASESON
TRACTOR PLANT

More than 1000 workmen, many of
them from Grand Rapids, Nekoosa
and Port Edwards are reported to
have left GAINESVILLE Friday and Sat
urday on account of the shut down of
construction work at the Sampson
Tractor plant. The report was brought
here by workmen who are returning
home.
According to these men the samp-
son company is manufacturing trac-
tors in the portion of the buildings
that are finished, but work on the new
buildings which has been somewhat
curtailed by bad weather, is now at a
total standstill. Recently the plum
bers struck for $125 per hour, and
when they walked out it threw out a
number of men in other lines.
1t is thought that the shut down will
last but a short time, and that with
the coming of good weather, work will
be resumed full blast
The General Motors Company has
been forced to take over practically
all Of the construction work in James
VILE. After a local housing corpora
tion had fallen down on their program
and work had been halted on half
million dollar hotel being erected by
local people, the tractor people under
took to carry on and finish the job.
Some workmen, however, state that
they DO not believe full activities will
be resumed until following the ma
tional election next November.
