to the moulten tar and a second later
when they were lifted the explosion
took place. "It sounded like the ex-
plosion of cannon and it rocked the
building in which the car paint
was located and the surrounding build
ings," declared one of the men en-
ployed at the plant.
Caught Under Shower of Fire.
The men who were standing about
the tank were caught under a shower
of the moulten tar paint. 1t flew up
into the air like the explosion of a
bomb and rained down upon the heads
and shoulders Of the unfortunate men.
Other men employed about the plant
saw the great cloud of black smoke
and heard the sound of the explosion
and they rushed to the dipping room
armed with fire extinguishers. The
building did not catch fire following
the explosion and it was not seriously
damaged. The men terribly burned
were removed from the room by fell
low employees and taken to the main
foundry building and later removed in
an ambulance to the Kenosha hospi-
tai. The men were so badly burned
that in places the skin was falling
from their arms and hands.

Both Wives Declare
Brewer Was ''Vamp''
Ed Brewers Wives Declare He Was a
''Vamp" After Joining Forces to
Corral Him.

Another charge is now being made
against Ed Brewer, the young man who
was arrested here last week on a
charge of bigamy. From Evanston
comes the word that both of his wives
have branded him as "male vamp"
and are producing their stories to show
how he practiced his arts on them. II
has also been learned that Brewer,
prior to coming to Kenosha had been
employed as a salesman in the shoe
department of the Globe Department
store, having rooms at the New Central
hotel there, with his wife No. 2 from
Evanston. When he saw storm brew
ing, Brewer told his employer he was
having trouble with his mother-in-law
and could work no longer. That day
he came to Kenosha. Later investiga-
ton proved the irate mother-in-law
story to be an entire myth.

Predicts New Idea
for News Printing

London = Suggestion that the
printing from type is likely to be
superseded was made by William Gam
BILE at the recent Worlds Congress of
Printers held here in connection with
sthe international Printing and Allied
Trades exhibition. Mr.. Gamble said
that at least three inventors were try
ing to develop a Photographic process
to take the place of printing from
type.
He predicted that the machines for
printing by Photographic process would
hardly occupy more space than type
writer nor be any more complicated.
He expressed the opinion that event
ually the great, printing presses in
newspaper offices would give place
to smaller, swift running and COM
paratively noiseless machines which
would turn out printed matter with
almost the same facility as the moving
picture operator reels off his film.

Chemical Warfare
is Here to Stay
fBy Associated Press)

London-Sir William J. Pope, profess
sor of chemistry at Cambridge Uni
vcrsity and president of the Society of
Chemical Industry, asserts in "Ths
Chemical Age" that chemical warfare
has come to stay and pleads for an
open recognition by the government Of
poison gas research.
He says that in the war poison gas
was less fatal and far less cruel than
any other weapon; and points out that
it would be simple to devise high explo-
sive shells which would liberate large
quantities of carbon monoxide, against
which all known protective measures
are useless.

chemical should not be made which
does not kill but produces local anaes-
thesia, causes violent sneezing for a
few hours or leads to some form Of
physiological intoxication which may
prove of great military value"

INSIST O'HARE
Is NOT GUILTY
Attorneys Baker and Stew
art Say Chief VIII Show
Clean Slate.
MISTAKES NOT CRIMES

PERSONALLY am persuaded that
Chief O'Hare will come through with
out STAIN"
This was the statement made today
by Attorney R. V. Baker, who will CO.
operate with Attorney Calvin Stewart
in preparing and presenting Chief
O'Hare's defense against indictments
returned against him Saturday by the
Kenosha county grand jury.
"Under the law" he continued,
knowledge does not constitute Grim
inal responsibility; it must be shown
that the chief was actively encourag-
ing violation of the law before he can
be convicted under the charges brought
against him; this will require evidence
of sort that is very difficult to obtain
because it must be definite to be valid"
When asked to outline more speci-
fically the chiefs defense against the
charges of malfeasance and misfeas-
ance, Mr.. Baker replied:
"The terms are very general and the
indictments seem to be of the same
character. 1t is very probable that any
police chief in the United States could
be convicted of malfeasance or mis-
feasance if his enemies were disposed
to press charges against him"
Stewart Equally Positive.
Mr.. Bakers optimism about the case
is shared by Attorney Stewart, who
said officially this morning:
"The chief is not wilfully guilty of
any of the charges brought against
him. When the proper time comes, all
of them will be explained in such a
way as to completely exonerate the
defendant"
AS regards the chiefs alleged failure
to prosecute men engaged in the illegal
sale Of liquor, Mr.. Stewart said that
he had considered the prohibition
amendment federal statute, to be
enforced by federal officials, and so
had not thought it within his province
to inform where he had knowledge of
violations. "This may or may not have
been mistake" Mr.. Stewart added,
"but in either case, mistakes are not
crimes"
The chiefs attorneys had little to
say about the charges of obtaining
money under false pretenses and d.
version Of funds intended for the DO
lice pension fund. In the main they
held that it remains to be seen wheth-
er there is or is not evidence to sup
port such accusations.

WOC0UNTS OUT
in RUPPA CAGE
Judge Dismisses Counts in
Indictment Against Local
Saloon Men.
OTHERS UNDER FIRE

Use of evidence obtained by state
agents in federal liquor prosecution
was dealt severe blow by Judge F. A..
Geiger late Saturday afternoon in
the federal court in Milwaukee when
he quashed two counts in a joint in
dictment against Samuel Grotsky and
Joseph Ruppa. The pair, Kenosha sa-
loon keepers, were accused of possess
ing liquor illegally,
A motion to quash the counts was
made by Vincent D. Hennessey, attor-
ney for the defendants. Mr. Hennes-
sey contended that the evidence on
which the counts were made was OBJ
tanned through a search warrant is
sued and served by state authorities
and that such evidence was inadmiss-
able in federal court because the
federal rule is that there must be evil
dence of sale, whereas the state has
no such rule.
H. A. Sawyer, United States district
attorney, agreed that the counts
should be quashed. He said it was the
rule of his office that such evidence
should not be used and that its use
IN this case was due to an oversight.
Attacks Other Counts.
In attacking another of the four
counts, Mr.. Hennessey questioned the
right of United States commissioner
to issue search warrant unless sec
ond offense is charged. He said the
Volstead act provides that search
warrant be issued when a felony is
committed. The first violation of the
act is classed as misdemeanor, he
said, and not until a defendant has
committed second offense is he gull
ty of felony.
Judge Geiger, however, said that
congress must have meant to use the
word "offense", when it said felony.
Otherwise the enforcement of the act
would be crippled from the state, he
said
Mr.. Hennessey also contended that
issuance of the federal search war
rants was illegal because they were
based on an affidavit on which the
affiant, Francis j. Heffernan, a pho
hibition enforcement agent, had said
that he believed the law was being
violated" The affiant should have
said he knew, the attorney asserted.
If Judge Geiger should sustain Mr..
Hennessey it would mean that dozens
OF persons fined or imprisoned for VIC
lating the Volstead act were the VIC
tins of illegal prosecutions Some
pending cases probably will develop to
be dismissed.
The federal grand jury resumes its
sessions in Milwaukee tomorrow.
