MQuiring Reporter
TODAY,S QUESTION:
Do you think private housekeeping
is cheaper than living at hotels?

DO you think private housekeeping
is cheaper than living at hotels?
ANSWERS:
c. J. Carney, III Washington street,
CONTRACTOR think it is. In a hotel
you are not only paying for your own
rooms, but you are paying for the
rooms that no one is using. The hotel
rates are high enough to include safe
return on the investment on all rooms
and not only on your own. But in a
private 5house you pay only for your
own living.
Jacob Kalowski, Waukegan, theatre
manager.-I believe thbt it pays to live
in home of your own. Of course with
small family there is no use in pay
ing rent for a whole house. In these
cases it might be cheaper to stay at
hotels. There is no difference as far
as the accomm odations are concerned.
In fact you will find splendid service
at most hotels that you miss at home.
Louis Heating, 522 Division street,
jobless.- What can be better than your
own home? / think it is a thousand
per cent better to live in your own
home than in hotter. There is nothing
like a mothers care in home.
Mrs. Samuel Salvatore, 991 Market
street, would prefer to live in a
hotel if it were possible financially I
mean. In hotel woman is relieved
Of all worries about taking care of the
rooms, and it is very much more COM
Portable to live in hotel.
John Gregory, Atlanta, Ga, salesman.
In my profession you have to live in
hotel most of the time that you are
on the road, and it is agreeable to me
alright. Of course, I should imagine
that a private home would be more de-
sirable but I think that is only mat
ter of opinion.

This means much to Kenosha. This

Wisconsin favored by the United States
government and with millions of dol
lars in port development. it is up to
Kenosha to see that, improvements
bring returns so far as she is concern
ed. Kenosha has one of the best ports
along the lakes awaiting only the com

the waterway through the St. Lawrence
River project, the benefits which Ke-

with him but took six bottles to the

A raid on the Garfield House brought

found peddling a pint of moonshine to

SEEKS FREEDOM
Scion of Wealthy Virginia
Family Sues for Divorce
in Court Today.
CHARGE is NFIDEIITY

Lured away from a cultured wife, the
scion of a wealthy Virginia family, by
the simmer of moonshine and the
wanton smiles of "a woman named An
ma" Adrian W. Arnott, until two
months ago a hosting engineer with
Greiling Brothers, Kenosha, was charg-
ed with desertion and inhdelity in a
divorce action fled in the municipal
court this morning by Harriet B. Ar
mott. 220 Lake avenue.
Although Mrs. Arnott refuses to re-
veal her pen-name, it is said that she
was formerly nationally known as a
fashion-writer for magazines and news
papers. She is now practically desti-
tute as the result Of her marriage to
Arnott in November, 1920.
ArnOtt a Good Engineer.
The complaint placed on record to-
day by the Woman's attorney, Calvin
Stewart, states that Arnott left Keno
sha two months ago possibly accom-
panied by "the woman named Anna, +"
with whom he is alleged to have had
several gay parties at Racine and Ke-
nosha hotels.
Nothing more is said about the CO.
respondent, but reports from other
sources indicate that she is young,
fair-haired and fascinating.
Arnott's former employers, when in
terviewed recently, declared that be
YVES "a good workman" until he began
to drink moonshine and mash about six
months ago They offered no clue to
his present whereabouts nor could they
give further information about "the
woman named Anna"
Mrs. ArnOtt Near Collapse.
Worry over the disappearance of her
husband has brought Mrs. Arnott to
the point of collapse. With typical
southern pride she has refused to mo-
tify her family of her dilemma and has
tried heroically to re-establish herself
as a writer or to secure employment
suitable for q woman Of her training
and temperament. Failure here has
left her broken in health and spirit,
the mere shadow of the woman she
used to be.
Until recently she hoped that Arnott
would tire of 'the woman named Anna"
and return to her, but now she wants
to be released from him so that she
may go back to her people in Virginia.

Detroit The Detroit police today
were working on what they assert was
one of the first tangible clues to the
wave of murder and bombing outrages
that has been sweeping through the
local Italian colony in the past four
years. The arrest in New York yes
terday Of Bartolow Fontano, former
Detroit barber, and the information he
gave concerning the murder of eight
Italians here, led local authorities to
believe that some light might be she'd
on the seventy killings which have

TRAGEDY HERE
CAUSES SUICIDE
Lafayette Woman Commits
Suicide as Result of Ac-
cident Here.
VIEWED BODY OF DEAD
Goes Home and Takes Poison
After Viewing Remains of
Otto Lienkamper.

Despondent over the sudden death
Of Otto Lienkamper, the Lafayette,
Indiana, man who died of heart failure
at the steering wheel of his automobile
last Saturday morning while touring
through Kenosha, Mrs. Tressa Smith,
aged thirty-five years, the wife Of
James Smith, tenant on the farm
owned by Lienkamper committed sui
eide on Monday, according to reports
received in Kenosha this morning. The
woman went Sunday afternoon to the
Lenkamper home in Lafayette and
viewed the remains of the landlord of
the farm where she lived.
She was of nervous temperament
and was noticeably affected by the
death. She talked strangely to some
Of the members Of her family but they
thought little of it, believing that she
was merely excited over the sudden
death Of their friend.
Takes Poison ct Home.
When the woman reached her home
she went Immediately into her bed
room and before members of her fami-
1y realized what she was doing drank
large quantity Of poison. Medical
aid was summoned and for a while she
Fingered between life and death but
finally died on Monday. She is gurviv-
ed by her husband and by two sons.
No explanation can be given for her
rash act other than that the sudden
shock Of the death of Lienkamper IN
balanced her mind and that she killed
herself while suffering from a men
tai arrangement.
Well Known in Lafayette.
The remains of Otto Lienkamper
were taken Sunday morning to La
Fayette accompanied by the friends
who were riding with the Indiana man
when he was struck dead while at the
wheel of his automobile and by an at
tendant from the Thomas Hansen com
pany, where the remains were prepared
for burial. The deceased was a prom
iuent man in Lafayette as attested by
the fact that scores gathered at the
railway station to pay tribute to his
memory when the remains were
brought to his home He was one Of
the owners of the Wells-Y eager Best
company, large wholesale and retail
drug house in Lafayette and had con
siderable other business interests there.
The funeral services of the man who
died in Kenosha were held on Tues
day, having been delayed by reason of
the second death which resulted from
the tragedy. The woman's funeral will
be held on Thursday at the Lienkamper
farm near Lafayette.
The double tragedy has proven quite
a sensation in Lafayette and new mes
sages were sent to Kenosba today in
curing into the details regarding the
death Of the Indiana tourist
The mystery which haas surrounded
the suicide has only deepencd accord
ing to reports from Lafayette and it
is probable that deeper probe will
be carried on into the death of the
Indiana tourist, in the hope that it
might throw more light on the reasons
for the woman to take her own life
after viewing the remains OF the
dead. 1t was expected that Coroner
Parker's report on the death might be
called upon to aid in this later probe.
