BY BURGLARY
Man Entered Place in Early
Morning Hours and Took
Unique Collection Of Booty.
READY TO PLEAD

Toe Levora ,thirty-three years OF
soa who said he lived at the American
Bragg boarding house, started out at
on early hour this morning to cut the
,,rice of living. He made complete
success Of it and he is now in the city
1oclsup charged with burglary and
raadv to 20 into the municipal court
and plead guilty He will probably live
at the expense of the state for
gvme times but will pay for it with
his liberty.
Levora is charged with burglarizirg
= store at the corner Of North Chicago
and Cedar streets and he was caught
with the goods on him by Police Of
fcer Ernst Radatz aznd Merchant
Police officer Matt Nader. The place
was entered in the early hours Of
the morning by the forcing OF one
of the rear windows and the burglar
did a good job of it.
The cash drawer was opened and it
Welded some seven dollars in bills and
ninety-nine cents in pennies. The cigar
and cigarette case was the object of
attack to the amount of seven cartons
of cigarettes, the meat market of the
Mace yielded the burglar two big links
Of summer. sausage and nine pieces of
home made sausage, then he had thir-
teen packages of tobacco, seven bars
Of soap, a deck of cards, black pocket
book and one large bottle Of vanilla ex-
tract. It looked as if the burglar
was making up kit for a considera-
able outing.
Levora had all of the articles taken
from the store on his person when he
was picked up by the two officers just
after three o'clock this morning. He
had no explanation to make as to
how he happened to come into pos
session of them, but later he told the
police that he was ready to admit that
he had entered the place.
Never Arrested Before.
Levora is an Austrian and he claim
ed that he had worked in Kenosha for
some time and that he had never been
arrested before. He was just little
hazy as to why he had burglarized the
place, but he is expected to tell a
more extended story when arraigned
In court.

THREE PAY FINES
.DENYALLCHARGES
KenOsha Men Arrested in
Racine Released on Pay
ment of $25 and Costs.
ONE NEGRO FREED

Upon payment of $25 and costs
each, Harry Rossi, Peter Klonal,
and Augustus Rees were released by
Sheriff Lutter of Racine on Saturday,
Rossi paid all three fines, which were
assessed on charges Of driving a car
with an Illinois license and reckless
driving. The charge of possessing
and transporting moonshine was
dropped. Unless legal action is tax
en- by his creditors, Rossi may re-
move his goods from the Racine Jail.
No further development is expected
in Racine.
Blanket denial of every charge
against him was the only statement
which Sheriff Lutter was able to get
from Harry Rossi, Kenosha store
keeper, who was arrested last night
and brought to Racine after three
men from kenosha were taken into
custody at 1909 Racine street with
a large quantity of dry goods and
clothing Friday afternoon.
Stock Mortgaged.
Inquiry in Kenosha Saturday brought
to light that all of Rossis stock in
trade is covered by a chattel mort
gage which was held by a rich Ital-
ian who recently died. Papers to
foreclosure were being prepared yes
terday, and Rossi was evidently
aware that this was about to occur.
He practically admitted, under cross
examination, that he had removed
part of the store stock, and had en-
gagged Peter Klonal, Italian, and
Augustus Rees colored to peddle
the stock to farmers. When searched
at the jail, two summons to appear in
court were found on the store keeper
one issued on complaint of shirt
manufacturing concern and the other
for clothing company. Rossi admit
ed owing a considerable amount of
money to various firms.
One Negro Freed.
John Williams, colored, who was ar
rested with Klonal and Rees, was
released last night when it was as
certained that he had merely been
engaged by Rees at Kenosha to go
with him to Sylvania to repair Ros-
sis automobile, which broke down in
that village Thursday afternoon. Will
liams is an automobile mechanic en-
ployed at the Nash Motors Co. He
was recently injured and had not re-
turned to work

ASK REGULATION
OF MOTOR TRUCKS
Hill Steamboat Co. Files
Complaint Against Mo-
tor Freight Lines.
MERCHANTS 0. X. THEM

Informal steps were taken today by
the Hill Steamboat company to file a
complaint against the various motor
truck drivers who are operating a
carrying business between Kenosha
and Chicago asking the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Wisconsin Rail
road Commission and the Public Utili-
ties Commission of Illinois to make
some regulations regarding this traffic.
The informal complaint points out
that the situation now existing results
IN unfair competition without any pro-
lection for the shippers.
! 1t is said that the Kenosha merchants
are all back of the Hill Steamboat com
pany in the appeal and that other COM
plants may be filed by them asking for
regulation of the various motor truck
lines existing between the two cities.
The danger lies in the fact that the
shipping firms often cause damage to
goods and that there is little oppor-
tunity for redress. 1t is also said that
the question of paying tax to the
federal government is not done by
these firms and that the shippers
may be held for this.
No Published Tariffs.
The complaint of the Hill Steamboat
company is very clearly outlined in
the following paragraphs of their let
ter to the three commissions:
Recently various companies have
been organized for the purpose of
transporting merchandise between the
points named above by motor truck.
They are engaged in this business and
with them are numerous private indi-
viduals and companies, all of whom
compete with us on what we believe
to be an unfair basis. Our complaints
are as follows:
1. They are not regulated by either
the interstate or any state commission.
2. Most of them have no published
tariffs, but make any rate that will get
them business, in some cases under
bidding the rates we publish on vari-
Gus commodities, and in other cases
taking unfair advantage of ship
pers by overcharging them when con-
dltlonS allow,
8. Most of these trucking firms do
not issue bills of lading and are there
fore irresponsible and can not be held
for loss or damage to property as pro-
vided on the uniform bill of lading
which common carrier must issue.
A. The usual practice of these
trucking firms is to select and solicit
only high class freight, such as fruit
and perishable goods, including veget-
ables, thereby taking from the estab-
lished transportation lines the only
freight which in this time of high oper-
ating expense, can be handled at profit.
We therefore desire to know if the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
any jurisdiction over such truck car
riers, and what data we must prepare
to enter formal complaint with the
object of putting all carriers on the
same basis"

HAYTI DEMANDS
REDRESS OF WRONGS

Washington The State Depart
ment announced today it's refusal to
pay the salaries of the President of
Haytl and other officials because of
their complaint against conditions in
Hayti and San Domingo where Ameri-
can troops under orders of President
wilson and without the consent of
Congress were rushed to take charge
OF the government there. Among the
grievances of Hayti is that the Ma
tlonal City Bank is the sole financial
arbitrator of the Republic, and that
neither individuals or firms can Sc
cure credit or assistance unless it is
Tor the benefit of the New York
bank in in furtherance of their
schemes. They also protest against
the inhuman and brutal treatment of
the natives, the forcing of parties out
OF or in power at the within of the
Washington State Department The
last attempt to destroy them they
maintain is that when the rulers of
the Republic attempt to remedy condi-
lions the Administration at Washing
ton take away their livelihood and sal
aries that they have earned. Hayti
is in charge of American marines
and from all accounts has run things
with high hand at the government
direction. VIM. Hurd's article upon
conditions there two years ago and
the attitude of President Wilson was
the cause of Postmaster Burleson at
tempting to censor and prevent the
publication of one of the larger mag
azines of the country.

H. C. L. STILL PREVAILS.

Ladysmith, Wis. Partridge are
plentiful in Rusk county this season,
in fact, more plentiful than they have
been for several years. Travellers on
the country roads in the less develop
ed communities have been aware of
this for some time, but it remained
for Archie Haynes of this city to
furnish concrete evidence of just how
plentiful these birds are. Hayes bag
ged ten recently in a short time on one
hunting trip few miles north of
Ladysmith. The only "fly" in the oint-
ment was the appearance on the scene
of Deputy Game Warden Soule, who
brought Hayes and companion, Oscar
Burns, before Judge Williams. The
latter fined them $4,000 and costs each,
plus $500 for each bird shot. This
brought the amount which Hayes paid
up to $10182. The game warden
confscated their game, guns and an
automobile.

1t sprang from town and crossroads when
the call to battle came
And grinned and slung its pack upon its
back;
1t wrote red Chateau Thierry and the Ar
gonne into fame
And staggered, roaring, down adven-
ture's track.
1t took blasting, killing job and damned
it and went through,
1t faced six hells as part of every day;
In lousy barns and trenches just before
the whistle blew
1t sang of homes three thousand miles
away.
1t knew the sleepless box-car nights, the
sweat, the drawn fatigue,
1t lined itself with "willie" and hard
bread;
Its hobnailed columns pounded France for
league on rainswept league,
Its nearest dream of heaven was bed.
Its days are done and ended now, its taps

One last long note-"Farewell"-a it

1t lives in distant memory but that

The soul of it alone still carries on.
Legion Weekly.
The American Expeditionary Force,
established in the spring of 1917, has been
disbanded by General Orders No. 49,
signed by Maj Gen. March, chief of staff.
The order says simply: "Section /, effec-
tive August 81, 1920" The headquarters
of the American expeditionary force,
Washington, D. c., will be discontinued"
Probably never before in the history of the
world has such huge fighting force been
assembled and trained with such efficiency
in the short time at its disposal; it was by
far the largest body of men ever sent out
side the boundaries of the United States.
