And then something happened.
Suddenly the Twins came upon a
strange person, a queer Wigglefin

He was busy building, or rather re-

he himself was most peculiar-look-
ling, having about a dozen arms and a

house was the most beautiful thing

Edgar Gold Drives Burg
lars Away from Home
Of Fl. W. Balm.
TRIED TO ENTER HOME
Two Men, Caught Trying to
Open Window, Almost Cap
tured by Neighbor.

Two thieves, who attempted to break
their way into the home of Howard w.
Balm at 1914 Salem avenue, narrowly
escaped capture at the hands of Edgar
Gold, neighbor, just after ten o'clock
Tuesday evening after a thrilling chase
which extended over several blocks
and which gave the neighborhood an
exciting episode. The thieves, caught
in the act of attempting to pry open a
bedroom window in the Balm home, ran
west on Avery street when they saw
they were detected and proved too
fleet for Gold who pursued them as
far as he could.
Investigation showed that the men
had probably been proving around the
Balm home fof some time before they
were discovered and frightened away
as footprints about the home showed
that they had gone deliberately about
the work of trying to effect an en-
trance into the home.
Caught in the Act.
Miss Gladys Balm, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Balm, was at the
home alone at the time that the at
tempt was made to enter it. She had
been playing the piano and for this
reason had not heard the providers
tampering with the lock on win
dow entering into one of the bed
rooms Of the home.
Mr.. and Mrs. aold and their dauis.s
ter, Mildred, who live in the upper
apartment of the Balm home, were re-
turning from attending the theatre,
when they saw the providers at the win
dowNof the home. Gold ran around the
house and surprised the thieves at their
work. They left so hastily that they
carried with them some fishing rods
which they had stolen off the back
porch of the home, Gold, intent on
recovering these, gave. chase to the
robbers.
They ran out of the yard of the Balm
home and darted west on Avery street
with Gold at their heels. Finally the
providers dropped the fishing rods and
ran down side street an disappeared
The case was not reported to police.
Second Attempt at the Home.
This is the second time within the
last two weeks that providers have been
seen around the Balm home. Several
days ago early in the evening a man
was seen peeping into one of the win
dows Of the home, but at that time
no attempt was made to break into
the building.
No adequate description Of the two
men could be given except that they
we're of medium build and appeared
to be fairly youthful Gold thought
they were probably twenty-five years
old and declared that they had disap-
peared so quickly that he was unable
to see their faces.

"In reply l have the honor to in
form you that in my opinion the settle
ment of such boundary disputes as
arise in the matter under consideration
is a matter of European concern in
which, in accord with the traditional
policy of the United States, this gov
eminent should not become involved.
The attitude of the government in this
matter is clearly understood by it's

concerning Upper Silesia and will ex-
press no opinion as to the settlement"

SCHOLEY VISITS
MINISTER'S HOME
Crusader Finds Wine But Finds That
the Rev. Mr.. Hartman Claims a
Perfect Right to Have 1t.

John Scholey the crusading con-
stable who recently came back to the
trail of liquor got over into the Prairie
avenue district this morning when he
secured search warrant in the NUM-
cipal court and visited the home of the
Rev. M. Hartman on Prairie avenue.
The minister had twelve barrels of
wine in the basement of his home but
none of it was removed by the cru
sader as the minister insisted that he
had a perfect right to have the wine
in his home. This is the wine for use
of the Jewish congregation in the
various rites of the church and it has
been much under discussion since the
coming of the prohibition enforcement
activities. The wine was purchased
some time ago and it has been held by
Mr.. Hartman 1t was said that the
crusader was not certain that the
minister had right to retain the wine
and it is possible that some further
investigation into the case will be
made.
The tip to Scholey is believed to
have come in connection with the siez-
ing the cargo of wine at Zion on
Tuesday. This was alleged to have
been for the Jewish pastor here but it
was said that Mr.. Hartman told the
Zion police that he knew nothing of it.

Ralph Moore quit painting this
morning and he was with Scholey as
the visit to the Prairie avenue home
was made. So was Detective Charles
Rock and Police Officer McGivern of

treated with all possible courtesy by
the Jewish teacher but he insisted that
he had a perfect right to. the wine
which was in the house and insisted
further that none of it was being used
for Incorporate purposes.
The question is one (which is to be

enforcement official in the district, at
once and ask for information and
guidance in the matter.

CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE

Observation-Disclosures attending
Edward Douglass White, chief justice
of the United States supreme court,
announced at 10 o'clock this morning
that their patient had not rallied from
the sinking spell of late yesterday and
that his recovery was not expected.
DR.. Francis R. Hagner said there was
little hope that he would live through
the day. Since he was operated on
Friday at a local hospital for bladder
trouble, Chief Justice Whites condi-
ton has improved steadily up until
yesterday afternoon when he suffered
an unexpected chill and then declined
rapidly. He has remained unconscious
since late last night. At noon the
physicians attending the chief justice
said there had been no change in the
patients condition and that he might
last through today and tonight but
that there was nothing upon which to
base an alteration from their previous
diagnosis.

TODAY'S QUESTION:

Would you vote for a woman mayor
of Kenosha?
ANSWERS:
Mrs. J. W. Hagerman. Park court
There are several qualifications one
must have in mind in selecting a can
didate for mayor, or any other office.
And the most important of the quail
fications is fitness for office. If a wo-
man of Kenosha should become a can
didate for mayor she would be Judged
according to her capabilities. l think
that there are many women in Keno
sha who could at least perform the du-
ties of mayor of Kenosha as we'll as
they are being done now.
William F. Rodemaker. 1863 Exchange
ST., laborer-I doubt whether there is a
woman in Kenosha who can do the
work required of mayor of city the
size of Kenosha. | think it is all right
for small town with village board
and fire department but it doesn't
work in the metropolises.
Jean Somers, SO Maplewood ave-, of
fee clerk-I certainly would vote for a
woman. Why not? The woman who
should offer to become candidate for
that Office has some good reasons for
doing so and those reasons are worthy
of consideration. No. would not vote
for her just becaues she is a woman
but because she would be better than
any one else for that office.
c. McVeagh, 207 Edward ST.. meat
cutter-I read in last nights paper
that in the state of Wisconsin women
have more rights than in good many
other states. But that doesn't mean
that a woman would make an ideal
city executive. They haven't the ex-
perience and necessary training. They
would do better to be the mayor" of
their own home.
G. w. H., Office manager honest
ly think that mayors job is no place
for woman. Especially for city like
Kenosha. No, you can't put my name
down. If the wife should see this
I'd probably have to change my mind.

EPSTEIN AUTO is
FOUNDIN CHICAGO
Car Stolen from KenOsha
Man Found Abandoned
on Street.
STEAL CAR HERE

Evidently the activities of the gov
eminent, coupled with the activities of
the detective bureau in Chicago and
the police department. in Kenosha, is
making it harder for the automobile
thief ring to get automobiles stolen in
Chicago to the bargain counter" in
Kenosha. The Hudson touring car be-
longing to Adolph Epstein, which was
stolen from the street in front of the
Ashland Club in Chicago on Sunday
night is on its way to Kenosha, but it
is being brought by the owner and not
by members of the ring. The automo-
bile was found on one of the side
streets of Chicago on Tuesday. 1t had
been abandoned by the men who stole
it on Sunday night and no trace of the
identity of the men has been found.
Mr., Epstein went down to Chicago this
morning to bring the car back to Ke-
rcsha.
Seek KenOsha Car in Chicago.
Meantime the Kenosha police today
asked the Chicago detective bureau to
make an effort to locate the Studebaker
touring car belonging to William Hen
ricksen, 500 Lombard avenue, which
was stolen from the garage at the
home late last night or early this
morning. The theft of the car was
discovered just after five O'Clock this
morning when Mrs. Henricksen looked
out of the window and saw the garage
door standing open. 1t was found that
the paddock on the garage had been
broken off during the night and the
automobile stolen. The door had been
carefully locked on tuesday night.
The members of the family did not
hear anyone about the house during
the night and the automobile thieves
left absolutely no clew behind them
| Police officers in Racine, Milwaukee
Waukegan, Lake Forest and Chicago
were notified early this morning to be
on the lookout for the stolen car, but
no trace of it had been found up w q
late hour. The automobile was valued
at $1,000 and there was no insurance
on it.
