Of the committee. eve believe that
we are right and we intend to continue
our movement but we are willing to
have it go by the regular church chan
nels. This action should convince the
archbishop that we are not bolshevistic
in tendencies and that we are ready
to await his investigation.
Chairman Cardinal was placed in
charge of the affairs of the commit
tee and was authorized to act for it
in bringing about settlement Of the
difficulties.
Want an Italian School.
There was also capitalization of
the movement which has been in prog
ress for several months among the
Italians for the building Of an Italian
school here when the meeting voted
unanimously to use their influence to
secure the erection of such a school
as soon as possible on the building
site located just south Of the church
and owned by the parish. 1t is main
tanned that the people of the parish
are ready to raise $4o,0 900 in twenty
four hours for this purpose in the
event that the movement will be sane
toned by the church officials.
The plan is for the erection of a
school to be managed by a board of
directors of the church and to be
taught by sisters. Both English and
Italian would be taught in the school.
1t has long been felt that this is a
real need in the Italian colony in Ke-
nosha. How the movement for a school
will be presented to the church off
Gals will be discussed at the next
meeting of the committee to be held
after the visit of the archbishop or
his representative to Kenosha.

BIG DRY BOSS

Report Comes That B. P.
Herzog VIII be Retired
from Force.
POLICY IS TO SHIFT

Sensational reports of shake-up in
the federal prohibition enforcement de-
partment at Milwaukee, Of which B. P.
Herzog of Manitowoc is chief, are de-
MED by Frank D. Richardson, director
of the central states who says that
while some shifts are being made in
the district he controls, no changes will
be made at Milwaukee and the present
force will be retained.

Herzog and u S. District Atty. Saw

newspaper controversy as a result of
Herzog's alleged statement to the press
that his department. had not received
cooperation of the district attorneys

reports that Herzog might not contin-

was rumored that he would be sent to

statement, however, quiets these re-

Interested in Oil Land?
A report received here, however, says
that the Manitowoc man may at some
later date locate in Texas where it is
said he has become interested in oil
lands. Major Dalrymple, former en-
forcement chief of the Chicago dis
trict, is said to be heavily interested in
Texas oil lands and it is said that Mr..
Herzog accompanied him to the oil
fields recently, which probably gave
rise to the rumor that the Manitowoc
man was interested.
Policy is to Shift.

Kerwin Has no Plan
to Quit the Bench

Madison Associate Justice James
Kerwin Of the Wisconsin supreme
court has stated that he has no pres
ent intentions Of resigning from the
bench, in answer to persistent expires
sions that he would soon retire and a
LaFollette Progressive be put in his
place. Justice Kerwin, although in
poor health, has been working daily,
writing decisions and participating in
other business Of the court.
The belief has been generally ex-
pressed that the justice, now 70 years
old and in failing health, would retire
before the spring elections. His doc
tors, however, have advised him to
continue his work on the bench and
he will remain indefinitely. Walter
Corrigan and Christian Doerfier, both
lawyers of Milwaukee, had been men
toned for his place, should he resign.
Both men are politically favorable to
Governor Blaine.
The term of Justice Aad j. Vinje
ends in 1922, with election for his
place held this April 9Th. The justice
has not yet announced his intention
of running again, but it is generally
accepted that he will be candidate
to succeed himself. No opposing can
didate has been announced.
Supreme court justices are elected
for term Of ten years. An appoint
ment to fill the place left vacant by a
justice who resigned would hold until
a successor was elected, and his cleo
ton would put him in office for the
unexpired term of the justice he sue
ceeded. The term Of Justice Kerwin
ends in 1925.

Better Farm Home
Destroyed by Fire
Big Farm House on Sheridan Road
Just North of State Line Burned
to Ground Yesterday.

The farm home of Ray Better locat-
ed on the Selden farm just half mile
north Of the state line on the Sheridan
Road was completely destroyed by fire
which broke out just after ten o'clock
Sunday morning. The loss from the
FIRE was estimated at over five thous-
and dollars and it was only partially
covered by insurance. The blaze is
believed to have started from defec-
tive chimney in the house. Better was
s1t home alone, his family having gone
away for Sunday visit. With the
aid of neighbors the household furni-
ture was removed from the house and
nearly all of it was saved. The volun-
tary fire fighting force saved the sur
rounding buildings.

CRIME WAVES
WORSE IN EAST
Politics, Inadequate Police
Forces and Court Lax
ity are Blamed.
PUBLIC OPINION STRONG

A survey Of the postwar crime wave
throughout the United States made
today by the Kenosha Evening News
shows:
That the wave has struck the east
hardest and subsidized as it moved west
and south.
That criminal Investigators lay most
crime in the east to organized bandit
ry.
That police forces of the large cities
are held inadequate to cope with the
criminals.
That laxity and leniency Of courts
have led criminals to scorn the law.
That political influences have inter
fered with coping with criminals.
That civilian organizations are work
ing with the police.
That criminals have found in the au-
tomobile an ally that enables them to
defy nit.
Police officials have felt the lash of
public opinion. In New York Police
Commissioner Enright has been at
tackled from within and without the
department; in Chicago Chief of Pc
lice Clarity has been replaced by Chas.
C. Fitzmorris; in Cleveland Director
Of Safety Sproster has been holly as

of 10,7OO is totally inadequate.
The city is rapidly becoming an arm

ROAD SIGN REMOVAL
PLAN IS CRITICIZED;
CRAWFORD ANSWERS

In reply to the complaints against
wholesale destruction of road signs
along the state roads. Earl Crawford,
of Milton, member OF the state high
way commission. issued statement
Monday, to the effect that any destruc-
ton of signs at this time is not by the
direction of that body.
While II Is a state requirement
that signs shall be specified distance
from the road instead of on the road
ITSELF" he said. 1.-The commission has
issued no orders for their immediate
removal. nor does it contemplate any
such drastic action as has been re-
ported.
viii Clear All Signs
Our ultimate expectations are to
have all signs cleared away from the
highways, and none but traffic signs,
guideboards and danger signs along
the state roads. However, before we
take any decisive action looking to
the removal of such signs as are on
the roads now, we shall warn adver
tisers who use these signs, or poster
companies owning them, and give a
reasonable time, possibly a year. fol-
their removal. We do not desire tc
work any hardship on property own
ers who have invested their money il
these signs in good faith.
Our aim is to get our road sigr
system on about the same basis al
Wisconsin. There it is possible tC
travel the roads at a fairly high speed
without any danger, and to make de
tours on unfrequented roads, withou
getting lost, by the assistance of the
unusually complete road sign system
