ARREST CULLUJN
FOR AUTO THEFT
Man Sought for Stealing
Car Here Picked Up in
st. Louis.
BACK HERE FOR TRIAL
Cullun, Companion of Robert
Haney, Brought Back as a
Parole ViolatOr.

A two-year search for a man charged
with grand larceny ended on Sunday
at St. Louis when Detective Charles
Rock of the Kenosha police department
picked up Forest Cullun, aged %, who
is wanted here on a charge of stealing
an automobile belonging to Clyde Ellis
on the night of August 81. 1919. Gull
un was charged in a warrant with Rob-
ert Haney, but he was not found at the
time of the arrest of Haney and the
latter was brought to Kenosha along
with the stolen automobile. He plead
ed youth and first .offense and was
placed on parole. He violated his pa
role and several days ago he was pick
ed up by the officials of st. Louis on
the request of the Kenosha police Off
GERS. Rock went to ST. Louis Satur-
day night to get Haney and when he
got there he found that Cullun was
with him.
Cullun was surprised when he was
picked up by the officers as the theft
of the automobile had been considered
by him something of closed chapter.
He signed an agreement to return to
Kenosha without requisition papers
and he was booked with Haney on
charges of grand larceny this morning.
Haney told the police that since he
had left Chicago he had been married
and that he had wife and a two
months old son back in St. Louis. The
district attorney declared that he
would have to see the wife and son
before he would believe the story.
The two men charged with grand
larceny are both alleged to be resi-
dents of St. Louis. They had been en-
ployed to drive the automobile at the
time it was stolen. They kept right
on driving it and it was recovered at
st. Louis.
When arraigned in the municipal
court this morning, Nordall pleaded
gully to the charge of burgarly. He
was released on bond signed by him
self and ordered to appear in court on
the first Monday in July to stand trial.
1t was the opinion of court officials
that if Nordall conducted himself in
a right manner in the meantime that
he would in all probability be granted
a parole. at is not up to this court
to deny any man the chance of going
in the right way and so long as all the
parties concerned seem favorable to
paroling the man in all probability he
will be paroled," Judge Tully stated.

AGED POLISH FARMER RELEASED.
Father of Alex Prolop Returns Home
After Thrilling Experience in Russia.

Father of Alex ProI1op Returns Home
After Thrilling Experience in Russia.
Anthony S. Prokop, aged 81 years,
father of Alex S. Prokop of POS Rice
avenue, Kenosha, has returned to his
home in war-ridden Poland after an
interesting trip with Russian bolshe-
Vlks. Word to this effect was received
IN kenosha a few days ago.
During the trying days of the boil
shevist advance last fall, a detachment
of the Russians came to the farm of
Mr.. Prokop and after "requisitioning"
to their hearts desire, they espied a
team of fine horses belonging to Mr..
Prokop. They at once told the aged
farmer that it would be necessary for
them to have the service of the horses
for the transportation of their luggage
a short distance. They told him that
he could drive the animals back home
II he drove them to their destination,
otherwise they would drive the team
and would not guarantee their return.
The team of horses being practically
the only thing of value left on the
farm, Mr.. Prokop, who is 81 years of
age, volunteered gladly to drive the
bolsheviks to their destination. In his
letter, he states that the distance was
over $50 miles. When the party ar
rived at their destination, they report
ed their findings to their superior Off
GERS, who at once ordered the team of
horses held for service and ordered
the aged man to be about his way.
With but pair of wooden shoes on
and very scant clothing the old man
made his way homeward in the bitter
cold of a Russian winter. He writes
that he was without money and that
1t would be impossible to describe the
hardships encountered on the road in
the way of securing a little bread to
keep him alive and able to keep on
his way toward his home in Poland.
The old man states that it took him
a little over five weeks to walk back
to his home. He further states that
his home had been bereft of practically
everything that was fit to wear and
that it left the family in a serious
condition, but he states that he is
glad to be back home alive, as protest
ing against the seizure of anything he
owned would have meant fatalities.
But cheer for the aged man is in
sight as his son has already purchased
a complete outfit of wearing apparel
to send to him and to his stricken
family.

THE GOVERNMENT SCALE OF R. R. COSTS


AS every successful business man knows, one
vital essential in an enterprise of any kind is
keeping down expenses. Competition usually
limits the amount of income a man can attain,
but his own ingenuity determines to large
extent the amount of his cost Of operation. The
great successes of the business world have been
made by men who could reduce cost of produc-
ton to the minimum and thus make a profit
greater than could be realized by their COM
petitors.
1t is in this vital particular that government
operation fails. The government can seldom if
ever, get as much value for dollar of expendi-
ture as an average Individual can get The
truth of this was Illustrated during government
operation of the railroads. AS shown by julius
Kruttschntt at the recent hearings before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commission, dur
ing the period of government fixing of expendi-
lures the gross revenues increased less than 81
per cent while the increase in labor costs alone
was 115 per cent. And the government scale of
costs was handed down to the private man
ayers when the roads were turned back to their
owners. And the people pay.

THE ETERNAL MYSTERY

staples and what they sold for during the war.
According to those figures, S7.49 will buy 1oW
what it cost $14.08 to purchase at the war peak.
That is, SO cents will buy what ST did during
the war. Many lessons can be drawn from
those facts, not the least of which is that rail-
road and other wages that were pushed higher
and yet higher during the war, on the cry that
they should keep pace with the rising cost Of
living, should now be readjusted downwards
for precisely the same reason.
