an attack of angina pectoris. Mr.. Lane
was operated on here May 9Th for gall
stones and appendicitis and was said
to be recovering when heart disease
from which he had sucered from time
to time during the past eight months
developed. Hospital physicians ex-
pressed the belief that the operation
would remove the heart affection but
an attack early today developed fatal
ly. Immediately after he had recov-
cred from the influence of the anaes-
thetic, Mr.. Lane said: 81 am surprised

ing the operation that he was "sur-
prised to be alive" his improvement

CUDAHY BROTHERS
VICTIM OF SWINDLE
Big Company with Many Shops Here
Said to Have Lost $4,000 in
Swindle by Employees.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire


Milwaukee Revelations of swim
die by which the Cudahy Brothers
Packing company of Cudahy lost at
least $4,000, made today to District
Attorney w. C. label, resulted in two
warrants, one for a travelling sales
man of the concern and another for a
butcher who was said to be an accom-
plice.
The master mind, according to John
Cudahy, a partner in the company,
was Edward McGroarty, salesman,
charged with receiving stolen prop
erty.
The butcher, employed in a Cherry
street shop, also is charged with re-
ceiving stolen property. A shipping
clerk of the company was innocently
involved in the scheme and will be a
state witness Mr.. label said.
BY means of fraudulent sales slips
and shipping orders, the salesman is
said to have caused large quantities. of
lard, pork and other products to be
shipped to customers, from whom he
collected the money and made no ac-
counting to the company. The warrant
against McGroarty specifically charges
receipt of $500 pounds of meat and
meat products.
Detective Adolph Kraemer waited for
McGroarty at the Union depot today
to arrest him as he stepped from the
train on his return from Toledo. The
goods are said to have been disposed
of not only in Milwaukee but as far
east as Toledo and at other points in
the salesman's territory The alleged
swindle is said to have been in OPP
Grafton since September last.

L
London.-Premier Lloyd George is
sued a statement this morning reiter-
ating the British attitude towards the
Upper Silesian question expressed by
him in his recent speech in the house
of commons and disclaiming response
bility for the distorted reports in the
French newspapers" In the course of
&he statement Lloyd-G George said: "The
fate Of Upper Silesia must be decided
by the supreme council, and not by
Korfanty. Children of the treaty can
not be allowed to break crockery in
Europe with impunity. Somebody must
place restraining hand on them, 9TH
erwise there will be continued trouble.
Great Britain cannot consent to stand
by whilst the treaty her representa-
tives signed less than two years ago
is getting trampled upon" The prime
minister's statement began as follows:
81 adhere to the statement | made in
the house of commons on the subject
of Silesia. Naturally I can only accept
responsibility for what l actually said
and not for the truncated and distort-
ed reports in the French newspapers.
The almost unanimous approval given
by the American and the Italian as
we'll as the British press to the senti-
ments l then expressed show that the
great nations who stood by the side of
France in the war mean to interpret
the treaty of Versailles fairly"
Nations Are Unanimous.
81 have never witnessed such unan-
unity on any question" continued the
statement. Cali shades of opinion in
these three countries take the same
view. 1t would be unfortunate were
the French press to take a different
view but we must be tolerantjof differ
ences of opinion among ourselves.
With all respect, I would say to the
French press, that the habit of treat
ing every expression of allied opinion
which does not coincide with their
own, as an impertinence fraught with
mischief. That attitude of mind, if
persisted in, will be fatal to any en-
tente. The stand taken by the British,
American and Italian public on the
Silesian question ought not to be of
fensive to France. They stand by the
treaty of Versailles. They mean to ap-
ply the terms of the treaty justly
whether they happen to be for or
against Germany"
Supreme Council Must Decide.
"The fate of Upper Silesia must be
decided by the supreme council and not
by Korfanty," Premier Lloyd George
stated. Children of the treaty can
not be allowed to break crockery in
Europe with impunity. Somebody
must place a restraining hand on them,
otherwise there will be continual
trouble. The course of the world in

NEW INTEREST
NDEATH PROBE
Probe Into Drowning May
Bring BOOse Transac-
tons to Light.
STATES ATTORNEY ACTS

The drowning of Gustave Carlson,
the thirtyyear old Chicago man whose
body was recovered from the Kenosha
harbor early Tuesday morning, may be
the key which will open. new investi-
cation into alleged illegal booze tran
sactions in the city of Kenosha. This
became certain today as a result of
the lcoroner's investigation into the
case when District Attorney Peter
Fisher, Jr., intimated that. he would
continue the probe to find where the
liquor was bought which is alleged to
have caused the mans death.
Further investigation into the story
of the drowning seems to leave little
doubt but that Carlson, while intoxi-
Gated, stumbled into the river off the
Hill Steamboat line and it seems very
improbable that the suicide theory will
be considered strongly by the coroner's
jury in making their finding.
New Interest in Probe.
The new interest in the probe came
when it was learned that Carlson and
his companions had bought the liquor,
which had made them intoxicated at a
north side saloon. Anderson, one of
the men, who was with Carlson, was
later arrested and pleaded guilty to a
charge of intoxication in the municipal
court, on Tuesday morning where he
learned of the death of his companion.
Il loaned him two dollars to buy
some drinks" Anderson told the corner
and others. Just where the drinks
were bought appears to be one of
the most important questions to be
answered at the inquest.
There was considerable speculation
that the affair might be the basis for
a wider investigation Of the booze con-
ditions in Kenosha..
Body Taken to Chicago.
This morning a friend of Carlson
came to Kenosha and claimed the body.
The drowned man had been mem Der
of Scandinavian lodge in Chicago and
the order will take the remains back
to Chicago and give it Christian
burial. 1t was learned that Carlson
had come to America several years ago
but that he had no relatives in this
country. Messages will be sent to his
brothers and sisters in Sweden telling
them of his accidental drowning.
After a thorough investigation this
Afternoon Coroner Parker decided that
no formal inquest into the case was
necessary as the evidence clearly show
ed that the man had fallen into the
river while under the influence Of
liquor. The more thorough investiga-
ton into the other aspects of the case
will probably be taken care of by the
office of the district attorney.
The coroner's decision was that the
man had met his death "by accidental
drowning"

SENATOR BIRD
DEFIES THE SENATE
Congress Not to Repeal Excess
Profits Act.

Madison, Wis.-Declaring he would go
to jail rather than vote on a joint
resolution memoralizing Congress not
to repeal the excess profits laws, SEN
ator Claire Bird, of Wausau, today de-
fed the Senate rules and forced post
ponement of the resolution for two
days pending a ruling from Lieutenant
Governor George F. Comings.
Senator Bird maintained the consbi-
tuition prescribes certain well defined
duties for members of the state legiss
lature, ana that passing reso4dttons
memoriaIizing Congress are not in
Guided. Therefore, he declared, the
Senate rule requiring a yes or no vote
did not apply.
81 can not be compelled to vote on
a question which does not come before

Bird said. eff am ordered to vote

The Senate passed the Kuckuk-
Skogmo bill recognizing the teach
ers' retirement bill by vote of 27 to
after a hard fought battle in which
efforts to incorporate sur-tax amend
ment and provision for referendum
vote were defeated; and concurred in
a House amendment to the Huber
soldiers memorial hospital bill, send
ing it to the governor for his sigma
ture. The Huber bill appropriates
$15O,O0O from state funds and 100000
received from the government for the
erection and maintenance of hospital
for gassed and shell shocked men suf-
fering from mental diseases.

sins two cent fare law by fihing a

citizen could have sued the road in the
name of the state and in event of a
favorable verdict could have been
awarded up to five per cent of the
damages collected in the discretion of
the trial judge.
The assembly reconsidered its ac-
ton of last week, when it defeated the
Ingalls, bill reviving state party con-
ventions before the primaries, and
then laid it over until Wednesday
when amendments will be considered.

small animals and insects. which may be
considered symbolic after the fashion Of
Jean La Fontaine's fables. Dame le

lizard fight q duel, but the lady dragon
fiy is tickle and the timid insect wins her
favor.

that he got the idea years ago when ne
was attache of the American Legation
