cat out of the bog. He said that &C
cording to the assessment which had
been made on him, fund of $22, 900
had been raised for the defense of the
cases which were hailed into court
by the present cleanup campaign.
According to his statement, each sa-
loon was asked to pay at the rate of
500 for each man employed in the
place. Several of, them have a pro
prietor and two bar-keepers and this
would bring their assessment to $500
The men on the inside had figured out
the number of people interested and
declares that the total from this
cannot be less than $4,000.
Lawyers Get the Money.
1t is declared that the agreement
which has been reached with the at
torneys is that they are to carry the
case as far as necessary for the sum
If the men are released in the NUM-
cipal court then the attorneys have
won their money but in the event that
they are unsuccessful in securing the
release of the prisoners, they are to
carry the cases through the courts
for the $1,000 or whatever amount
may have been raised for the work
1t is certain that from the scheme
there will be a long legal battle waged
over the arrests.
The report could not be confirmed
by any statements from the attorneys
or from persons alleged to be inter-
ested in the defense of the liquor men
Planned to Bring Report.
From another source it was declared
that the bartender who had given the
information did not know the real
facts of the case. It was said that a
large defense fund had been con-
templated with the idea that some ia
nous attorney such as Clarence Oar
row of Chicago should be asked to
take the case. It was stated, however
that thus far the plan had not been
put into execution but that such Steps
might be taken if they were neces-
sary.
Fisher Heard of Fund.
District Attorney Peter Fisher Jr.
when he was told of the fund this
morning admitted that it was not the
first news that had come to him Of it
yes, | have heard that large sum
of money has been raised to defend
these men," declared the district at
torney, "and have also heard that
the assessment was to be one hundred
dollars man. I do not believe that
any vast sum has been collected as yet
but | do know that there is enough
evidence on some of these men that
it will do no good to get barrels OF
money to fight the cases. We have
anticipated that they would secure the
best legal talent available but in my
opinion that will not save the law VIC

Two Kenosha Women Arc
Interested in Litigation
Over Vast Estate.
lis WORTH MILLIONS
Mrs. Simon Krebs. Jr., and Mrs.
N. HOLMAN Are Told of At
tempt to Regain Fortune.

Visions of sudden wealth have been
revived for Mrs. Simon Krebs, Jr, 422
Grand avenue, and her sister, Mrs.
Nicholas HOLMAN, 7O4 Milwaukee ave-
nue. according to information which
became public today. These two Ke-
nosha women are two of the heirst to a
vast estate of two uncles, both bach
elors, who died in the east many years
ago and whose estate apparently has
never been settled. The investigation
Of the estate has been revived at the
instigation of the Luxmburg consul
in Chicago, who is acting on the au-
thority of one of the heirs now living
in that country.
1t is alleged that the estate has
grown to amount to more than So
100000. It is believed that the greater
part of this money! has been held in
trust in the east, being passed down
from one management to the other
There is intilnation that some of the
fortune is part of the ancestral
wealth of the family in Luxembourg,
brought to America by the two uncles.
Too Good to be True.
"This is not entirely new to me"
admitted Mrs. Simon Krebs, Jr., this
morning as she talked of the case,
"but before l say anything | want
to see the money. Yes, it is true that
we are interested in large estate but
it is far from settled and right at
present there is no announcement to
make"
All Of the people interested in the
case were very reticent. They de-
clared that tn names of the heirs had
all been, sought out more than twenty
five years ago and that an investiga-
ton at that time had failed to accom-
plish much Among other heirs are an
uncle Matt Remich of Green Bay
and several other persons in Chicago
Have Papers All Signed.
Pierre Remich, the father of the two
Kenosha women, had two brothers who
many years ago came from Remich, the
city in which they lived in Luxembourg
to America. One of these went to
Portland, Maine, where he was sue
cessful bridge builder and where he
died bachelor Another went to
Massachusetts where he amassed a for
tune as a diamond merchant. For
years these estates lay unsettled and
great sums of interest are. now be-
lieved to have ben accrud to them il
the fortune can be secured,
Mrs. Krebs did not care to divulge
any definite information which had
been secured regarding the estate but
she was willing to admit that much OF
this was ready to be used at the dis
erection of the Luxembourg consul now
investigating the case.

Simple Marks for
Graves Of Soldiers

Paris No distinctions of rank
will be made in marking the graves of
American soldiers who died in France,
says Charles S. Pierce, chairman of
the American commission, which has
arrived here to prepare plans for beau
tifying the four permanent military
cemeteries where the bodies of all the
American fighters are to be gathered
1--WE shall try to make these Gene
teries memorials of which all Ameri-
cans will be proud" sail Colonel
Pierce, early in the discussions we
decided that regardless of rank and po-
sition each grave should be treated in
the same manner and given equal at
tention. The only variation permitted
will b. on the uniform headstones.
On the top of these relatives may in
scribe any religious emblem they wish
so long as it does not interfere with
the uniformity of the stone.
"No special monuments will be per
mitted. All the Americans died in the
performance Of their duty and, no mat
ter how heroic individuals may have
BEEN the feeling of the nation seems
to be that all should be accorded the
same honor.
at is impossible to say now just
what form the Identification will take
but mercy will not be spared in max
ing the cemeteries the most imposing
in the world. Congress has appro-
priated S1,000,000 as a preliminary
sum for this work with a promise Of
more. 1t is probable that $3,000,00
will be expended.
"The task Of removing the dead will
be completed by the end of October.
The bodies of those soldiers who are
to rest permanently in France will then
be concentrated in the four cemeteries.
This work together with the dvelop-
ment work we intend to do, probably
will take one year more"
The commission which is an advisory
body to the Secretary of War and
Quartermaster General of the United
States Army, is now making surveys
of the American cemeteries. Later
the commission will formulate plans
for PERMANENT cemetery for Ameri-
can soldiers in London

ranged in Milwaukee is exclusively a
glorifcation Of the protest Pilgrims"
Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee

ligious in character which does not
give a fair consideration to their be-
lief" the archbishop added. "This
was explained in my letter to the Sane
Fourth of July commission and in
Milwaukee, it is understood.

Crusader SchOley Finds a
Typical Moonshine Still
in Bristol Woods.
Is WELL CAMOUFLAGED
Leafy Bower in Wood by Wind

Real Moonshine Resort.

Kentucky moonshiners do not hide
their stills more cleverly than Keno.
sha county illicit distillers according
to Crusading Constable Scholey this
morning who in completing his posi-
ton as constable made the best raid of
his life early this morning Ralph
Moore was with the crusading con-
stable and according to the crusaders
this is one of the last of their raids,
The raid was staged on the home of
Frank Wottchowski near Bristol and
the story is one that is replete with
thrills and one that will make any
John Fox Jrs. books of the Kentucky
mountains take a back seat. Here is
the story as narrated by the constables
in Municipal court this morning.
"You can talk about the way that
the Kentucky moonshiners hide their
stills" the constable declared "but
here's story that will make you sit
up and take notice. This isn't the
story of the Lonesome Pine-the lone
some pint-would be more appropriate
title but the raid this morning was
the most successful that l have ever
made" the constable said "Just
imagine" the constable continued, of
walking through the woods and getting
a Whit Of coal oil burning and without
house in sight. Then you get the
faint aroma of moonshine cooking. All
that is the elixir Of life to a moon
shine raider Moore and | looked
around and finally we found a cleverly
disguised dugout-all camouflaged
with sticks and brush and shrubbery,
and then a disheveled man with matted
beard stuck his head out and then he
ducked We entered the place after
kicking our way in and then found the
still and seven barrels of mash"
The fellow had the most cleverly hid
still that have ever raided. He used
kerosene by daytime to cook the mash
and used coal by night. The kero-
sene wouldn't throw off any smoke in
the daytime and in the night time he
used coal He had two stoves in
which to make the mash, To say the
least he was the most clever distiller
and moonshiner that have ever tax
en-.
"You can take it from me- that the
raid did me good" the constable said.
"I'm going on the inactive list shortly
and / just wanted to show the county
that there is need for some fellow
who will ferret out the moonshiners.
If Moore and | discontinue our raids,
it will be only short time until con
ditions will be more fragrant, so far
as moonshining is concerned, than
ever before But of course that is up
to the county I've shown them what
can do and they've shown me what
they will do" Sholey said.
Scholey wasn't satisfied with the
lone raid, however, and paid 8 visit 10

MAY FORM new
NATIONAL GUARD
Troop E May be Supple
mented by Company of
Combat Engineers.
ADJUTANT is. FOR IT

A letter received by a Kenoshan
this morning from Adjutant General
Holway of the Wisconsin National
Guard brought to light the fact that
the general was very favorably i'm
pressed with the showing that Troop
E has made among the other National
Guard units of the state and that he
was contemplating the organization Of
a company of combat engineers for
Kenosha. We quote the letter from
the general in part:
81 wish, now that the Kenosha cav
airy troop has progressed so excel
lently, that a company of combat en-
gineers might now be promoted. Their
equipment also include a number of
public animals besides engineer instru-
ments, tools and special equipment,
all of which would fit in we'll with the
arrangements being perfected for the
cavalry troop"
May Mean an Armory.
This statement from the general
was taken to be an indication that the
much-needed armory that Troop E has
been clamoring for is not quite as dim
possibility as has been thought. 1t
is known authoritatively that Kenosha
has been quite prominently mentioned
as a prospective builindg site for a
government armory and this statement
from the general has given Captain
Alexander of Troop E added assurance
that the needs of Troop E would be
taken care Of very nicely. 1t is not
known at the present time just what
steps will be taken for the formation
of company sof combat engineers but
it is thought that if such movement
was started it would receive the hearty
endorsement of the public who would
be only too glad to see the government
erect modern armory in Kenosha.
