 About three months ago these same Eastsiders, who had worked such won. ders with the liberty loan campaign among their own people, got together again. Again there was a situation that they took to heart Americanization of the newly arrived immigrant was not being successfully accomplished.

Washington. April 1S.-In the over

the only hope for the rehabilitation Of

Analysing the soviet economic and
Industrial conditions now prevailing
In Russia I'm response 10 Mr.. Com
pers' request that the truth be told
about that country. Secretary Hughes
letter is regarded in official circles
here as an even stronger document
than his recent note on Russian trade.
The devastation Of industry in
Russia has been so complete" he
states. "the poverty OF the country Is
SO acute. the people are so hungry
and the demand for commodities Is so
great that M present Russia repre-
sents a gigantic vacuum and no evil
dence exists that the unfortunate sit
uation is likely 10 be aIleviated so
long as the present political and
economic system continues"

City Clerk
May MOUe Up

The most interesting political bear
story of the early campaign was going
the rounds this morning in the report
that an organization was being per-
fected with view of moving up City
Clerk George w. Harrington to the Of
fee of mayor and that the same organi-
cation would advance the interests Of
Miss Maude Bfogan as a candidate for
city clerk. Both City Clerk Harrington
and his assistant denied all knowledge
of such an organization this morning.
Really have never heard of it,
said City Clerk Harrington. 81 am not
running for any Office" echoed Miss
Brogan. Both of the suggested candi-
dates hurried to say that they were
fairly well satisfied with their present
positions in the city. Other people
about the city hall admitted that they
had heard the suggestion but they, said
that they could not point out any of the
directors of the movement and that it
was probably still in its infancy"
City Clerk Harrington has held the
Office of clerk for many years and he
has large, political following in the
city. Miss Brogan has been most eff
fcient as an assistant and it is GER
tain that she would make an ideal clerk
if Kenosha decided to give women a
chance to fill one of the city offices.

Family Doctrine"
Upheld by Judge
Family Doctrine in Auto Driving Up
held Today in Decision Handed
Down by Judge Belden.l

Judge f. B, Belden today handed
down decision in the case of Ham.
mond vs.. Glacken, in which he affirmed
the finding in the lower court granting
the plaintiff damages to the amount Of
$40. The case had been appealed from
the municipal court and was tried on
record. If grew out of an automobile
accident in which the car driven by
Mrs. Hammond was struck by the car
owned by John Glacken but driven by
his son. The defendant maintained
that he was not responsible for the
acts of his son because he had not
authorized him to use the car.
"The decision is interesting" ex-
planned Attorney Calvin Stewart, coun-
sci for the plaintiff, because it estab-
fishes the belief of the court in the
family doctrine as applied to the
driving of automobiles. This main
tains that if car is used for family
purposes, the father is responsible for
whatever happens"

BLAINE TO TAKE TIME
IN NAMING NEW JUDGE
Punctures Rumors of Stories That He
Had Made an Appointment on
Tuesday Night.
(By Special Correspondent

Madison Governor Blaine today
said that it would be several days be-
fore he would appoint county judge
for Kenosha county. "No endorse
ments of any person have been filed
with men and have made no appoint
ment," said Governor Blaine today. at
will probably be several days before
l will make an appointment. I intend
to go into this matter thoroughly"
This message was in answer to a
rumor which had wide credence about
the city this morning in which it was
claimed that Governor Blaine had ap-
pointed Judge James E. Tully as coun-
ty judge, following recommends
ton from the Kenosha Trades and La
Dor council. Secretary Stanley Souders
of the council declined to admit that
any action had been taken. "The coun-
Gil is not interested in political ac-
tivities," said Souders.
In other sources it was said that
considerable activity was being shown
in the fight for the appointment of a
judge. Judge Clarkson will be ap-
pointed for the office" said one attor-
ney, who intimated that he had some
inside information. Glow do you
know" he was asked, and the only
answer was smile.

The calling of the grand jury by
Judge Belden on Tuesday continued to
be the most interesting thing in Keno
sha today and already speculation was
rife as to just what is going to be done
by the jury. 1t was even suggested
that Frank Lang might be called back
from the state prison at Waupun as a
witness before the jury and that some
other men now serving time would be
given a chance to tell some of the
things which they know in regard 20
the vice conditions in Kenosha county.
Special Prosecutor Mortimer Walker
was expected to be in Kenosha today
to confer with District Attorney Peter
Fisher and it was said that at this
conference final decision would be
reached as to the action to be taken
in regard to liquor cases now pending.
District Attorney Fisher said that the
first of the cases would come up on
Thursday and that regardless of sug-
gestions of counsel for the accused
