FOUND DEAD AT
END OF JOURNEY
Three Kenoshans Held in
Probe in the Death of
Adam Woskiewicz.
MOONSHINE IS FOUND
Urban Lojesky, a Taxicab
Driver, Finds His Passenger
Dead at End of Trip.

Kenosha police joined this morning
in the investigation which is being
made into the mysterious death of
Adam Woskiewicz, formerly of 454
Pearl street, but more recently sec
ton hand employed at the village of
Russell, who was found dead at the
end of a taxicab ride at Waukegan
just before midnight Sunday. Urban
Lojesky, aged sixteen years, the son
of Walter Lojesky, was the driver OF
the taxi-cab, and he with two young
lady companions, Miss Lottie Prokof,
922 Second avenue, and Miss Alice
Pleaknesses, 500 Lemon street, were
held several hours at Waukegan by
the sheriff while an investigation was
being made but were all exonerated and
released this morning.
By the side of the dead man in
the taxi-cab was bottle of moonshlne
liquor, half empty. 1t is believed that
this may have caused his death and
a close probe into the affair is being
made by the officials of the two coun-
ties.
Found Passenger Dead.
Young Lojesky, who is the driver
for a taxicab company in Kenosha,
was summoned to Russell to take a
passenger to Waukegan. The young
woman went along to. keep him com
pany on the long drive. At Russell,
Woskiewicz, apparently in good health,
entered the taxicab and directed the
driver to take him to Waukegan. The
man sat in one corner of the car
and while he was unusually quiet, the
young ladies in the taxicab, thought
he was sleeping and made no attempt
to arouse him.
At Waukegan when the destination
was reached, he was found to be dead.
Sheriff Green was notified and began
probe into the affair at once.
Know Who Sold Moonshine.
It is declared by officials that the
identity of the man at Russell who
either gave or sold the "moonshine"
to Woskiewicz is known and he will
probably be arrested. The coroner of
Lake County is having a post mortem
examination to discover the exact
cause for the death Of Woskiewicz and
in the event that the liquor is found
to have caused the death, a vigorous
prosecution of the case is expected.
Police records here show that Wosk-
iewicz two years ago attempted sui
eide by stabbing himself in the stom-
ach with a rusty knife The now de-
ceased DR.. E. C. Murphy attended
him at that time and by quick work
saved him from death. This fact has
lead the police here to believe that
Woskiewicz may have taken poison
just before entering the taxicab at
Russell.
The deceased was thirty-nine years
old, having come to Kenosha from
Russia in 1912. The remains will be
probably brought to Kenosha for in
terment later in the week.

BARE LURID STORY
OF ARBUCKLE PARTY
Details Of the Death Of Virginia
Rappe Are Barred in Trial of
Arbuckfe Today.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, Caaif-Details of the
fatal visit in September of Miss Vir-
GINA Rape, motion picture actress,
to San Francisco from Los Angeles,
were related today by Alfred Sem
nacher, manager for Miss Rape, in
the manslaughter trial of Fatty Ar
buckle. Miss Rappe's death following
party in the Hotel St. Francis at
tended by Semnacher and others, was
made the basis of the charges against
Arbuckle.
Semnacher said he brought Miss
Rape and Mrs. Bambina Maude Del
mont, mutual friend, to San Fran
cisco in his automobile, September 8,
and that they attended the party to-
gether September 5.
He testified to the finding of Miss
Rape in Arbuckle's room, apparently
in dying condition after she had been
alone for time with Arbuckle.
He met Arbuckle the next day he
said, and "all said we eblieved that
Miss Rape was intoxicated" Sem
nacher refused to repeat word he
said was used by Arbuckle in relation
to the attempts of guests of the party
to relieve Miss Rape. He wrote the
word out for the stenographer.
Miss Rape had torn off her clothing
on various occasions after drinking
liquor, he testified, but the manner in
which she tore it on such occasions
was different from the manner she
used after supposedly having been
injured at the party.
Miss Alice Blake, show girl. was
the. first witness today. A statement
made by her to the police was intro
duced. It described the party in Ar
buckles rooms in the Hotel st. Fran
els in which Virginia Rape is al
legged to have received fatal injuries at
Arbuckle's hands.
The statement said that Miss Blake
first saw Miss Rape nude on bed
in Arbuckle's room and suffering
great pain. She and other guests as
sisted Miss Rape.
The court room was crowded and
many in the corridors sought admis-
sion.
The next witness was Joseph Rid
eaux, physical culture trainer of Les
Angeles, who treated Miss Rappe for
being over weight. He went through
the exercises he had given Miss Rape.
Rideaux said he tested Miss Rappe's
strength. She appeared healthy and
was stronger than most women he had
instructed.
Harry j. Boyle, assistant manager
of the Hotel st. Francis, next witness,
testified to having been called to AR
buckles rooms Immediately after Miss
Rape was supposed to have been in
jured there and having questioned Ar
buckle
7 Arbuckle started to carry Miss Rape
to another room on the same floor and
became exhausted and Boyle assisted
him, he testified.
The prosecution announced it ex-
pected to close it's case today.

SENATE TO ACT
ON TAX REVISION
Bill Passed by the House Expected to
be Adopted by Senate Before
Thanksgiving.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
MISUNDERSTANDING the stamp of
house approval by the overwhelming
majority of 232 to 100, the tax revision
bill as finally rewritten in conference,
was back today in the senate. There
was doubt as to the full force of the
opposition that would develop. but the
Republican leaders said they were de-
termined to put the measure through
IN time for congress to make a get
away by tomorrow night. Senate con-
ferees receded on only seven of the
amendments adopted by the senate but
in many other cases they found it nee
essary to accept house amendments to
the senate changes. Apparently there
are three major proposals around
which much of the opposition in the
senate will revolve-the striking out of
the increased inheritance tax and the
gift tax amendments and the elimina
tion of the amendment authorizing
either house Of congress to obtain in
come tax returns from the treasury.

CLAMP THE LID
ON POOLROOMS
Two Poolroom Operators
Arrested for Keeping
n. Too Late Hours.
OPEN AFTER MIDNIGHT

The lid was clamped down tighter
on poolroom owners of Kenosha on
Monday ev ming when Tony Paul and
James Gle lini, operators of pool halls
on Rowland avenue, were arrested on
warrants sworn out by Captain of Po-
lice Emil Clausen, charging them with
keeping their places of business open
after midnight. The complaint alleges
that on the night of November 18th,
and the morning of November 18th,
the owners of these pool-rooms were
still keeping their doors open for bust
ness despite the fact that there is
an ordinance directing that they be
closed at midnight and not opened
until seven o'clock on the following
morning.
Will Make it Test Case.
The .pool-room owners do not seem
to be much disturbed over the arrest.
They declare that they will fight the
case and intimate that they have never
before heard of such an ordinance
They intend to make this a test case
to find whether or not the police are
within their rights in attempting to
close up the pool-rooms at midnight.
The police are willing to admit that
some dust may have gathered on the
copies of the ordinance, but they in
sist that it is to be very much in eff
feet in the future and and that pool
room owners may prepare to close up
at midnight and close up tight 1t is
alleged that there are only few of
the pool-rooms violating the ordinance
and that in many instances these pool
rooms are the ones which are suspect
ed of other violations of the law.
Some Complications Seen.
The police were ready to admit that
there might be some places where the
law would have a loophole. For ex-
ample, pool-room where papers are
sold might be allowed to open earlier
than seven O'Clock in the morning for
the management of the newspaper
business although that point is still
questioned.
The cases promise to be bitterly con-
tested when they are called before
Judge Tully in the municipal court.

June Love- Is
Name Of Newest
Musical Show
New Edition, Brewed From
Familiar Ingredients, Is
Seen at knickerbocker,
With Dooley and Alder

June Love-" produced at the Knick
crbocker Thcatcr last night, is an aver
age musical show. Most of them are,
but this is even more average than
usual. To be sure it has an idea, but
the author keeps it we'll under control.
Rudolph Triml's music Ia pleasant and
tired Else Alder sings nicely such Of
it as falls to her share, but w. B..
Davidson, her associate in song, is
distressingly feeble. John Dooly in
trusted with the comedy responsible
ties, falls, but not as often nor as
hard as his lines. Berteo Beaumont,
u vigorous acrobatic dancer, received
most Of the applause and deserved it,
The book is by Otto Harbach and W..
II. Post. In one respect Sherman
Brown, the producer, has tried to make
an advance upon musical comedy stand
ards Season after season the plea has
been made that good lyricist should
receive q chance to see what he could
do to break the monotony imposed by
the usual hacks. Brown has set Brian
Hooker, one Of the most skillful of
American versihers, to the task, but
for some reason unknown to us moth
ing much has come of this innovation.
Once in the theater Mr.. Hooker seems
to write good deal like the rest. Per-
haps the unusually average quality of
June Love" stiflcd his inspiration.
There is some amusing rhyming in
with Woman You Can Never Tel"
but none of the other Tits are par
ticularly persuasive. At any rate, they
didn't sound so last night.
"June Love" is every bit as good as
most Of the musical comedies you have
seen this year. 1t ought to be, since
the ingredients are Just the same.

On the Screen
Clara kimball Young Does Some
Good Work in 'sHush" at
Capitol Theater
By Harriette Underhil]

Hush" is at the Capitol Theater
and II people only would! 1t seems to
US they are getting noisier and noisier
In spite of the admonition contained in
the title Of Clara Kimball Youngs pic
ture, the woman behind us last NIGHT
talked out loud all the time. She was
discussing Miss Young's personal af-
falrs and she seemed to find them
much more interesting than the story
on the screen. No doubt they are, but
we had to keep our mind on the pic
ture because we do not have to write q
review Of Miss Youngs life, and we do
have to write about the picture.
1T is the old story Of Should worn-
an tell 2" and the answer decidedly is.
NO. If your husband tells you that
you are as free as he is, don't believe
him. If he says tina. he would have no
more right to demand an immaculate
past than would you. don't pay any at
tentlon to him. If he inveigles you
into revealing any past perfect per-
formances you will be oh, so sorry, for
he will never forgive you and never let
you forget. If you feel that it isn't
right to deceive your dear husband,
then try this argument. The only
clever title in the picture said, "You
have no right to purchase your own
peace of mind at a sacrifice of YOUR
husbands happiness"
Put it that way. Say to yourself, "I
never shall be happy with this load of
guilt on my mind, but | must sacrifice
myself to preserve his happiness." In
stead Of sinner this makes YOU a
martyr.
OF the cast we liked Kathlyn
Williams best. She is always SO sophis-
ticated and poiseful and well dressed.
The star is too given to looking pretty,
and we are not generous like Heywood
Broun, who gives the credit to God, We
deliberately. However, she is more
animated in this picture than in any
OF her recent films, and only once does
she. pose in window, which used to
be her favorite posing place.
The thing which tortured the young
heroine in the story occurred at a gar
den fete given years before by Kathlyn
Williams. Since the story was written
originally for the screen and did not
find it's way from the stage, probably
the lawful thing" was no more than an
lndlscreet KISS or two. Whatever the
censors may think, screen stories are
usually very innocent, so that if any
thing is shocked it is not ones sensi-
bilities but ones credulity.
Charlotte Bergh sang in beautiful
fiutelike voice and her second selec-
ton was called "Hush." The overture
is the popular raymond" There is
also splendid ballet in an Egyptian
setting done to an Egyptian legend and
an Oriental cycle bringing in "Hymn
to the SUM-" from Rimsky-K orsakoff's
"Coq dor" and "The Bedouin Love
Song"
