BURY SUICIDE IN
POTTER'S FIELD
Michael sismis Is Buried
This Morning at Fond
du Lac.
DEPUTY TELLS STORY

The closing chapter in the short
career of crime of P. Michael Sismis,
the Kenosha moron who hanged him
self in cell at the jail in Fond du
Lac Saturday morning while enroute
to the state prison to serve a ten-year
term for attempting to make a Grim
lnal assault on Miss Margaret Refs of
this city, occurred this morning when
the remains of the suicide were buried
in the potter's field of the city ceme-
terry of Fond du Lac. Only the un-
dertaker and Coroner Chadish of Fond
du Lac county followed the remains to
the grave, according to the brief ac-
count of the burial which was sent to
County Clerk Holderness this morn
ing
Sisn1is had been a member of one
of the Slovenian societies of Kenosha
and it was thought for while that he
had carried insurance there and that
this would be used to bring the re-
mains back to Kenosha for burial. In
vestigation, however, revealed that he
had not kept his insurance paid up for
several years and this made it neces-
sary for Kenosha county to stand the
expense of the burial.
Deputy Tells of Trip.
Deputy William Senne, one Of the
officials who was taking Sismis over
the road" on Saturday returned to Ke-
nosha Sunday after arrangemen had
been completed for the funeral of the
suicide. He declared that Sismis had
given absolutely no intimation of an
intention to kill himself and that none
of the officials had any reason to guard
against such an act.
Twice on the way to Fond du Lac,
explained Deputy Senne, "Sismis cried
as he told US of his family in Europe
and of the shame which he had
brought on them and himself One of
these times was when we boarded the
train in the gray dawn at Kenosha and
the other was far upstate. The rest
Of the time he seemed in the best of
spirits, even joking with US frequent
ly."
As we placed him in the cell, the
Fond du Lac sheriff remarked that this
was the same cell in which both Carl
son and Loveday had been kept while
waiting between trains on their way
to prison. When we left, Sismis called
goodbye to me. Seven minutes later
we returned and the body was hanging
from the bars of the CELL"
It was explained that prisoners on
the way to the state prison are regu-
larly kept in the Fond du Lac jail
while waiting for trains in that city
and that the Jail there was especially
enlarged for that purpose.

BOOZE ouTRULEp N EVERY CASE.
(By Associated Press

10Y Associated FreSS.
Washington the federal pro-
hibition amendment and the enforce
ment act passed by congress were held
constitutional by the supreme court in
its decision handed down today. The
courts opinion on the main issue in
volved was unanimous. Associate jus
tives McKenna and Clark dissented in
part on the details Of the opinion. The
court dismissed the petitions filed by
the state Of Rhode Island to have fed
eral officials enjoined from enforcing
prohibition in that state The injunc-
ton restraining prohibition officials
from interfering with the Manitowoc
Products company Of Wisconsin in the
manufacture of beer containing more
than " of 40 was dismissed by the
court. The opinion also upheld the
federal court DEGREES dissolving the
procedures brought to enjoin the pro-
hibition amendment from being en-
forced against Christian Feigenspah, a
brewer of Newark, N. j., and also de-
cided against brewers of st. Louis.
The courts opinion was very short,
setting forth only the courts conclu-
sions. Chief Justice White rendered
a supplemental opinion concurring in
the one rendered by Justice Wander
Venter but going more fully into the
issues involved. The action against
Kentucky distilleries were also sus-
tanned by the court. The injunction
by George Dempsey, a Boston whole
sale liquor dealer, to restrain the en-
forcement Of the enforcement act
against him was also denied by the
court. Associate Justice Reynolds
while not dissenting said that che con-
fined his conclusions to the fact that
it is impossible to say what construc-
tion should be given to the eighteenth
amendment" "A multitude Of ques-
tions will arise" he added, "and / pre-
fer to remain free to act when they do
come. The court declares only its con-
illusions without giving reasons" JUS
tice McKenna said that the Rhode IS
land and New Jersey cases should have
been decided on their merits and did
not agree with the court in reversing
the Wisconsin case. The courts opin-
ion closed with dissolving the injunc-
tion brought by the state Of New Jer-
sey to prevent enforcement in that
state. Petitions to file motions asking
for rehearing was given by the court
at the request Of attorneys.

MORE CASES
OF SMALLPOX
Robert Maegaard of Post
Office Latest Victim of
Disease Here.
SHY AT VACCINATION

Health Commissioner Windesheim
was busy all day Sunday looking after
suspicious cases Of smallpox and dur
ing Che day three new cases Of the
disease we're reported to the depart-
ment. Two of them were in homes
which had formerly been quarantined
for the disease and the other case was
that Of Robert Maegaard one of the
clerks of the Kenosha post Office who
was stricken with the disease on Sat
urday. 1t is believed that he contract
ed the disease while at work at the
Office. The employees Of the post Office
this morning we're submitting to vac
cinaton and they we're hopeful that no
other employees Of the office would
contract the disease 1t is the belief
Of the health board that men and wom-
en- suffering from incipient attacks of
smallpox are walking the streets ev-
cry day and that there is grave danger
of an epidemic on account of failure
to report cases.
Conditions Are Bad.
"The conditions are bad declared
DR.. Windesheim this morning. "The
people, a lot of them, have no idea of
the amount Of smallpox there is in the
city and they do not appear to care.
We have urged vaccination to avoid
contagion but the reports of physicians
do not indicate that any large number
Of people have paid any attention to
the order 1t is difficult for the health
department to battle against the dis
ease on account Of the lack of interest
shown By the people. We have vac
cinated school children where cases
have been discovered and we have Of
fered to vaccinate more but there has
been no call for our services"
It was said that at the present time
there are in tie neighborhood of fifteen
cases of the disease in Kenosha.

BARELY ESCAPE
WATERY GRAVE
Elgin Tourists Hover Over
Brink Of 'sBottomless
PITT on Saturday.
CLIMB OUT OVER TOP
Three Motorists Climb Over
Top Of Car When Automo-
bile Is Submerged.

Barely escaping a watery grave,
George Noes, an Elgin, III, tourist,
Miss Frances Noes, his sister, and
friend, Miss Grace Nickle, also Of Ell
gin, climbed to safety over the top Of
the roadster automobile in which they
were driving when the car went off the
road and lowered over the edge of the
"bottomless pit" one mile west Of
Pleasant Prairie on the Wilmot road
on Saturday afternoon. While the car
sank deeper into the marsh of the
ledge the three occupants crawled out
over the top. When they reached solid
ground the water was within a few
inches of the top of the car.
Fortunately the car caught on a
ledge which prevented it from slipping
entirely into the deep hole at the side
Of the road which has gained the name
of the "bottomless pit" After several
hours hazardous work the car was
pulled back out of the quagmire by
Henry Gallman with large farm
tractor.
Pushed OF the Road.
Noes declared that ne was driving
along at moderate rate of speed just
after 4:30 Saturday afternoon when he
was showed off the road by another mo-
torist. He went over the cliff into the
pond but fortunately put on the brakes
so that the car stopped before it reach
ed the deepest part Of the pit. When
he and the young women in the car
with him saw the water rising around
them, they crawled out Of the car to
safety and summoned help to pull the
car from the water.
The quagmire into which Noes drove
his car was given the name of the
"bottomless pit" about twelve years
ago, when Pat Mar, farmer of that
vicinity, lost a team Of horses and a
large farm wagon when the horses be-
came frightened and ran into the pond
while he was driving them. At that
time Mar swan out but all efforts to
find trace Of the drowned horses
proved futile. It is believed that the
car Saturday afternoon lowered on the
edge of the deep pit in which these
horses went down to watery grave
twelve years ago.
