SEEKING MONEY
LOST IN MAILS
Postal Official Investigates
Reports Made at Local
Post Office.
NO FAULT FOUND HERE

Mystery surrounds the disappearance
of several small amounts of money
which are alleged to have been miss
ing from mail posted in Kenosha and
the complaints from which caused an
extra visit of postal inspector to
Kenosha recently. The investigation
-of the complaints completely exonerat-
ed the local postal employees from any
blame and showed that the losses had
been due to the failure of the senders
to take due precaution in sending
money through the mails.
Only two cases have been reported
recently and it is declared that one of
these is merely an instance of lost
letter which had not been registered
and which might have easily been lost
in transit. The time has not expired
for this letter to be returned from the
dead letter office and it is believed that
it may yet be recovered from that
source.
One Interesting Case.
The most interesting case was re-
ported by man in Chicago, who al
leges that he gave friend of his in
Kenosha five dollar bill. He watched
the friend place this money in let
ter, which he was to mail as regis.
tered letter. The letter arrived at its
destination but there was no five dol
lar bill in it. The postal inspector fol-
lowed the letter the entire way to its
destination and is certain that it was
not tempered with while in transit.
The complaint has been satisfied by
the investigation that no postal en-
ployee is to blame in the affair but has
not been able to unravel the mystery
of the missing five spot. A report of
the case has been made to the de-
partment.
Use Registered Mail.
"Most of the complaints that money
has been lost in the mails comes from
instances where patrons have failed
to use registered mali, explained POST
master German this morning. Gone
instance came up recently where a
foreigner placed a special delivery
stamp on the letter and thought it
was registered. Often letter may be
mislaid in the mails and once in a
while it is one of these that carries
money and which has not been regis
tered. The safe way is to register the
letter. If all Of the patrons would
do that it would do away with the big
percentage of the complaints"

NO WOMEN ON
MARCH JURY
Fail to Find Need for Re
filling Box With Names
of Women.
PANEL Is ALL DRAWN

Kenosha women who want to serve
on juries in the circuit court must
wait. The jury commission of Keno
sha county met at the Office of the
clerk of the circuit court this morning
and drew the panel for the March term
of the court and there is not woman
on the list. What is more, it was
given out that it may be several terms
of the court before women are both
cred with summons to serve as jur-
lists. An examination was made of the
number of names in the jury box and
it was found that there were enough
to take care of at least two more terms
of the court and women cannot be
placed on iuries until the list Of names
is replenished.
Members of the commission indicat-
ed no objections to the women serving,
but they must wait their turn the same
as other electors. It is possible that
the need of new names may be found
when the jury is drawn for the April
term of the municipal court arsl this
may open the way to the direct service
of this kind for the women of Kenosha
county.
Jurors May Try Lang.
There was considerable interest in
the drawing of the panel today on ae-
count of the fact that the men drawn
today may be called upon to try Frank
Lang for the murder of Charles Pacini.
If new trial is granted to Lang, the
men on the present list will be the
first to be called. The list follows:
Kenosha-Walter H. Johnson, George

day afternoon and with the full co.
operation Of the police department
made run south on Sheridan road
and after considerable searching Sc

Malowski, who lives in a house south
of Maple Inn on the Chicago Milwaukee

When the officers reached the house

place and that search warrant had
been issued for a search of the place
Regardless of the statements of the
man, Scholey and his companions con-
tinued to make search of the house
They found a portion of a dismantled
still in the attic and later found the
remaining portions of it in the cellar
of the house. The still had been of
the ten gallon sort and it appeared
that it had not been used for some
time. In addition to the still the Of
ficers found some mash in the house,
but it was not confscated. Malowski
was ordered to report in the municipal
court this morning when further in
vestigation was made.
Still Had Been Dismantled.
Malowski declared that he had never
made a drop of liquor and that he
could not account for any reports
of violations of the law which may
have reached the officers.

OF BIG WARSHIP
Verne StockwelI Writes
from West to Tell of
His Visit.
HE TRIED TO ENLIST

We're Stockwell, who formerly lived
on the Stockwell farm in Salem, but
who recently has been in California
in a recent letter to his sister, Mrs
George Hardie, gave an interesting
account of his visit, explaining how he
almost enlisted in the navy. The let
ter, which is very interesting tells of
trip to Catalina Island where he
saw seven men O. war and became so
attracted by them that he tried to
enlist in the navy for southern
cruise.
The letter follows:
Yesterday I took trip by boat
over to San Pedro Harbor where seven
men O. war and the Red Cross naval
boat have been anchored until today
Today they left for South America to
be gone 80 days. + went aboard the
Mississippi. She carries three IA
inch guns, all mounted on the same
turret which is adjustable for eleva-
ton as well as for longitude and lati-
tude.
Done by Machine Power.
"This is accomplished by machine
power but is also equipped so that it
can be done by nine men in case any
thing goes wrong with the power
mechanism. The shells are raised
from the magazine room through a
large pipe by tackle blocks and the
powder is raised by an elevator in
sacks, directed to the breech of the
gun and the shells are also carried di-
rect to the breech of the gun by a
carrier.
at takes crew of seven, men for
each outside gun and six men for the
center gun and they can load and fire
all three guns ever 9 seconds either
simultaneously or singly. There is a
lever mechanism which allows re-
coil of A inches or less for each time
a gun or guns are fired. They told
me that all of the recoil is never tax
en- up even when three 14-inchers sare
fired simultaneously.
Describes Big Guns.
each gun weighs 95-97 tons with
out the turret and shoots she'll
weighing 400 lbs with accuracy for 80
miles at an elevation of Is degrees, at
so degrees the guns will carry 45 to
so miles. Talking tubes, telephones
and electric light signs lead all
through the boat and the officers can
tell just which gun is load, direction
of enemy, speed of enemy's boat, dis
lance from enemy's boat, lurch of
their own boat and in fact all the lat
est news regarding action and re-
action. She carries three anchors,
each weighs five tons. One of them
is attached to a chain $50 fathoms
long and each link of this chain
weighs $50 pounds. The other two
anchors are attached to chains of the
same size but only 100 fathoms long
each.
Boat Has Six Decks.
