Joseph Bruno Who Dissap-
peared from City Seven
Years Ago, Arrested.
SERVED WITH ARMY
Sergt. in Italian Army Charg-
ed with Desertion of Wife
and Children.

Covered with the glories of four
years service fighting to make the
world safe for democracy, Joseph Bru-
no, former Kenosha man, occupies q
cell in the city lookup awaiting trial on
the rather prosaic charge of abandon
ing his wife and four children. 1t
was seven years ago this month that
Bruno slipped away from Kenosha,
leaving his wife and children as care
upon the city of Kenosha and while
seven years brought changes in Bruno.
it did not bring the cancellation of q
warrant issued by his wife charging
him with desertion. Bruno was ar
rested in Chicago on Saturday and
brought to Kenosha by Detective Rock
on Sunday afternoon to answer the old
charge.
Working in a ROundhouse.
Bruno was found working in round
house in Chicago. He had been back
from Italy only month and when ne
was taken into custody he denied that
he had ever been a resident of Keno
sha and demanded that extradition pa
pers be secured before he would come
back to Kenosha to face his wife and
his children. He changed his mind on
Sunday and consented to come back
to Kenosha without formal demand
being made on the governor of Illinois
for his custody.
Bruno is declared to have gone to
Italy just after he left his wife and
children in Kenosha, in November Of
1918. Then the war came and he was
called for army service and for four
years he was with the Italian troops
fighting in the Alps. All this time
efforts were being made to find him.
Never Sent Cent to Family.
1t is supposed that Bruno served as
single man in the Italian army as
not single cent of his pay ever drift
| ed back to the wife and children in
Kenosha. During the seven years they
have been in the care Of Pauper Com
missioner Jacob Saftig and that off.

"a thirty mill tax in Kenosha will
be enough to tide the city over" de-
clared Mayor John G. Joachim this
morning and he intimated that he
would take a very active part this
week in the making up Of the annual
tax budget and the annual tax levy.
II know it looks as if there must be
large increase in the amount of the
tax levy for the coming year." said
Mayor Joachim, "but / am of the
opinion that thirty mills will carry the
city through. l do not mean that a
thirty mill tax will be enough to pro-
vide for everything the city wants or
everything the city needs, but 1t will
be enough to provide for most of what
the city must have and it will mean
that there must be lot Of curtail
ment of expenditures on the part of
the city. A thirty mill tax is as large
tax as the people should be asked to
pay and we must arrange out finances
to get the tax within this limit"
May Go to Bonds Later.
It was admitted that the friends of
the thirty mill tax levy might find it
necessary before the year is over to
issue some public improvement bonds
in order to take care of the, demands
to be made on the city, but it is be-
lieved that the people would prefer to
have the bonds issued than to have
their pockets drained entirely in the
tax levy. 1t is noted by the tax slate
makers that thirty mill tax this year
is equivalent to an increase of twenty
five per cent over the amount collected
last year on account of an increased
valuation. 1t means that the taxes of
practically every one will be increased
twenty-five per cent. 1t was suggested
that a forty mill tax on the present
valuation would mean an increase of
fifty per cent of taxes over those
collected last year.
Study Lists Carefully.
Careful study was being made today
by the city officials of the various lists
for the income tax and compari-
son of income and personal property
tax assessments showed that only one
large corporation in the city would
pay anything to the city in income
taxes this year. This is the Nash
Motors company and with an income
tax of 100000 it is estimated that
the city will receive pretty close to
hundred thousand dollars for income
tax from this company after the de-
duction Of the personal property tax.
Then there are some large income
taxes on the individual tax roll and
it is noted that there will be little or
no personal deductions from these
amounts. Careful examination Of the
income tax rolls indicates that the city
will get pretty close to two hundred
thousand dollars from this tax after
the deucations have been made.
Refund from Library.
With the levy for the library amount
ing to over $4,000, the committee in
charge of making the tax levy believes
that more than $4,000 can be return
ed from this fund and that there is a
noesihility of a similar return from

HOW PLAN TO
PUT LENROOT
OVER FAILED

Here is the truth about the sensa-
tional effort to make Senator Irvine
L. Lenroot OF Wisconsin the republi-
can nominee for vice president.
Saturday when it became apparent
that Senator Harding would be nomi-
mated for president. leaders OF the
party who were directing the affairs
Of the Chicago convention, got to-
gether to select man for vice presl-
dent. The purpose Of this conference
was to pick a man that would appeal
to the progressives of the west, and
make a good running mate for Hard
ing, who is considered by his friends
as conservative. While the last bal
lot the tenth, was being taken Senator
Medill Mccormick OF Illinois, Senator
James E. Watson of Indiana and Ma
tional Committman Hert of Kentucky
and Henry L. Dougherty of New York
formerly of Madison left the conVen-
ton hall and held a hurried confer
ence in the outer ring Of the coliseum,
where cops stroll, and soft drinks are
sold; after talking for several min
utes, they called on Senator Borah
of Idaho, who had been standing
near. They asked him if he had any
preference for vice president, and
invited him to make some sugges-
tions, which he declined to do. He
was then asked about the several men
whose names had been mentioned for
that honor, and he was emphatic In
declaring that he would oppose GER
tain of them. When asked about his
attitude toward Lenroot he said il Mr..
Lenroot were nominated he would sup
port him.
Immediately the Mccormick Watson
party hurried back to present the
name Of Lenroot. They had also
drawn Senator Wadsworth OF New
York into their conference and he,
too, had agreed to try to nominate
Lenroot.
Immediately after the demonstra-
ton, caused by the nomination or
Harding, Senator Mccormick placed
in nomination Mr.. Lenroot, and all
those who were in the agreement to
put Lenroot over began to work for
him. Mr.. Wadsworth was opposed
in this program by State Senator
Elon r. Brown of his delegation.
Mr.. Brown declared that he did not
like Lenroot's record in the senate
during the war, and, in addition, he

About this time Judge Wallace

This started the movement for
Coolidge which resulted in his nom
