POLICE FIND
HIDDEN STILL
Three Detectives and Fed
eraI Agent SchOley
Find Still.
BEHIND A PARTITION

The police got to the bottom of things
on Tuesday when they found still
hidden in the home of Jack Vareck,
1917 Market street. The police have
long suspected moonshining tactics at
the place on Market street and yester-
day swooped down upon the place
where they found several gallons OF
moonshine and several barrels of raisin
mash. Besides this, the still was also
brought in to the police station.
Through Sliding Door.
Federal Agent Scholey, Chief of De-
tectives Rock, Detective Breidt and Sec
rotary Meissner made the raid, but at
first were unable to find anything ex-
cept moonshine. They searched around
in a pantry and finally discovered a
sliding panel that gave them access to
the moonshine room where several bar
rels of the mash were fermenting,
ready for the still. It was necessary
for the detectives to climb up a tortur-
Gus incline through sliding door.
Here the still was found, still warm
from it's recent operations.
Sons Admit Moonshining.
The two sons of Jack Vareck, one of
whom is widely known in Kenosha as
prize-fghter, were especially anxious
to keep the affair quiet. They stated
that they did not have anything to do
with making the moonshine and that
it had been the family that had ex-
tracted the liquor from the fermented
raisins. The police were issuing war
rants for the arrest of all concerned
and continued on their raids.
Mrs. Vareck was formally charged
with being in charge Of the operations
of the still and she pleaded guilty with
out preliminary discussion. Judge Tul-
ly imposed fine of 500 ar costs
Mrs. YaEeehs aon was in court, ap-
pearing with his mother.

COULDN'T WORK
SYMP ATHY- GAG
Arthur Chase Appeals to
Governor Blaine With
Daring Charges.
NAMES WIFE'S LOVER
Prosecutor Investigates and
Finds No Basis for Further
Prosecutions

Arthur Chase went to Green Bay on
Tuesday to serve an eighteen months
prison-sentence in spite of sensa-
tional appeal to Governor Blaine in
which he charged that District Attor-
ney Symmonds and Judge Tully had
"sent him over the road for taking
$41.35 to keep his family from starving
but were doing nothing to punish the
man who had ravished his wife,"
The charge was made recently in a
letter written to the executive Offices
in Madison from Chase's cell in the
county Jail. It asserts that the prose-
cutor had demanded maximum pen
atty for him but had done absolutely
nothing to apprehend and prosecute a
local man, whom he alleges forced his
wife to walk down crowded street
to "lonely spot" and there assaulted
her. She had maintained silence on
the matter, he said, to prevent fight
between him and her assailant and had
finally told the story to protect her
self from further injury from the
lover, whom she loathed.
Symmonds Probes and Replies.
Upon the receipt of the letter Gov
ernor Blaine Immediately wrote to
District Attorney Symmonds asking
for an Investigation and an explana-
ton. The prosecutor probed the af-
fair thoroughly and sent word to the
Governor that there was not sufficient
evidence on which to base any charges
against the man named in Chase's let
ter. He said, too, that Mr.. Chase had
neglected in his note to Madison to
mention the fact that he had been
convicted of stealing a motor-car
valued at $500 as we'll as of taking
$41,35 to keep his family from starv-
ing" This, he held, had justified the
prison-sentence, which the prosecutor
had demanded before the court.
''The records of the Kenosha County
Clinic" he added in the letter des-
patched to the Governor today, twill
give you any further information you
may need in a further investigation
of the other charges made in Mr.
Chase's letter"
And having explained the Chase af-
fair, Mr., Symmonds used the rest of
his letter to the state executive to
comment upon the conditions in Ke-
nosha out of which this and other such
cases have grown.
"Too many people have worked the
sympathy-gag," he said. N am per-
suaded that this was what Mr.. Chase
was attempting to do. He thought
that he might secure clemency by
arousing sympathy and that is the rea-
son he has Matched up his new story
with it's unfortunate reflections upon
his wife"
The district attorney is inclined to
believe that his letter will explain the
situation to the Governors satisfac-
ton and will mark the end Of the
Chase case in the local courts.
Justice has been DONE" he said,
''and I'm convinced that the Governor
will recognize that fact"

London = although no actual hitch
has occurred in the British Negotia-

day, "the premier was so dissatisfied
with canon de Valera's reply that he
asked the couriers sent to Scotland to

to Mr.. de Valera the premier's views

"In view of the indefinite character
of the Sim Fem proposals." continues
the newspaper, ''the couriers were in

something better. Mr.. de Valeras note
was so full of reservations as to pre-
cipitate all sorts of difficulties were

full conference.
"These reservations also, did not
accept Mr.. Lloyd Georges first condi-
tion-that the basis of the whole con-
ference must be acceptance of Ire
lands inclusion within the empire

will be cleared up in sufficient time
for the conference to open next Tues

TRIO'S VACATION
Is ALL SPOILED
Chicago Dentist, Detective and Sales
man Halted Here When Police
Find Booze Cargo.

Someone is always taking the Joy
out of life.
Three wealthy appearing young men
from Chicago found this to be the
case at one-thirty o'clock this after
noon when Police Officers Rock,
Breidt and Long nabbed them for be-
ing intoxicated and then after a search
of the car also placed charge Of
transporting liquor against them. The
trio gave their names as D. Ernest
Finnegan, 1911 LaSalle street, a dent
list; Walter Heurich, q salesman, also
Of Chicago; William F. Weiss, 2034
North Clark street, Chicago, who
proudly displayed a card marking him
as detective sergeant.
The trio started from Chicago this
morning on trip to the woods. By
the time they reached Kenosha, they
evidently had imbibed freely of the
uquor they were carrying with them.
DR. Finnegan was lying in the bottom
Of the car, dead to the world" and
the other showed the effects Of LIQUOR.
They lost their way off the Sheridan
Road and were found halted on Ex-
change street near the corner of Park
street. In their automobile was found
several quarts of whiskey and a plen-
tiful supply of wine.
They were held in the city lookup
this afternoon and will be hailed into
court on Thursday morning. They ex-
planned that they were to meet a
friend in Milwaukee at two o'clock;
this man was wired that he had a long
wait ahead of him if he expected to
join the trio.

WOman's Stocking Mans Handkerchief. Girls Hair

Dollars in Box is Magic Recipe


Kenosha has charm doctor that
takes the cake-and incidentally the
cash. The latter he appears willing to
extort from any and all Kenoshans who
are gullible enough to listen to his
magic recipes. His latest victim is a
woman on the North Side who needed
the words of the charm doctor not once
but twice and is consequently short of
cash but long in experience. She was
relating her experience to her friends
for she appears strangely to have re-
covered somewhat for the use of the
magic recipe and through this the en-
tire transaction became public.
No names were mentioned but the
case was verified to show that the in
cidents actually happened. 1t is re-
lated here that warning may be given
to other Kenoshans not to fall in a
similar trap.

INSANE WOMAN
TIPS SHERIFF
Moonshine Still Found by
Sheriff Following Raw
ings of Woman.
CAUSED HER CONDITION

A police officer or a sheriff never
knows who may tell him something that
will result in the arrest of an offender
of the law. That is one of the reasons
why policemen talk with anybody or
everybody and listen carefully. The
sheriff had unique tip two days ago
that resulted in the capture and con-
fiscation of the most unique still yet to
be found in Kenosha county. The still
was in the form of a German submarine
and had coming tower and a peri
scope like that of the underseas vessels
used by the German imperial govern
ment in its attempt to conquer the
world by naval supremacy. The oni
difference between the submarine and
the still was that the submarine went
underseas and the still went unseen
until the crazed woman talked too
much.
Nabs Edward Meyer.
The still was found by the deputies.
Jake Keul and Stanley Rauen, late last
night. The still was located on farm
on the Somers road and was said to be
operated and owned by Edward Meyer.
Meyer, it is said, has been supplying
the neighborhood with moonshine and
sold moonshine to the husband of the
crazed woman. The actions of her hus-
band, while under the influence of the
moonshine, caused the woman to worry
so much that she went insane and had
to be taken to the Northern Hospital
for the Insane at Winnebago Before
going however, the woman disclosed
the location of the still to another pris-
oner at the Jail. The prisoner II whom
the crazed woman confded, confidently
told Sheriff Rauen and the raid was
made that got the submarine hootch
factory.
Runs Like Old Story.
Kenoshans who have read "The
Hoosier Schoolmaster" and laughed
over the incident in the Indiana poor
house in which the old Mexican war
veteran tells of his experiences in
which part Of the time he talks out Of
one side of his head at one moment and
out of the other the next, will find a
strange likeness to this story. 1t will
be remembered that the old veteran had
head that was alright on one side
and on the other was said to be made
of "tater." And when the old vet dis
closed the facts that resulted in the
arrest of the villain of the story. he
talked out of the right side
This was the way with the woma
in the Kenosha jail. She insisted that
one-half of her head was alright but
admitted that the other was inclined
to be Eighty. In making her revelation
to the other prisoner, the crazed won
an insisted that she was talking out Of
the right side of her head. An investi-
cation of her story disclosed this to
be true Meyer will be arraigned in the
municipal court during the day.

pair when she heard from one Of her
friends of the remarkable cures which
might eaffected by the charm doctor.
Gulllble, with cash in hand, she went
to the charm doctor, who received her
graclously. She told of her ailments
and declared that she would be willing
to pay and pay well if something could
be done to relieve her. This supreme
faith in the power of the "charm doe
tor" appears to have been what has
helped her somewhat to believe that
she has been bettered by the treat
ments.

The woman wondered if the charm
doctor" could help her. He thought
that he could.
According to reports from other pa
tients, the doctor" has an unfailino.

edy for treating baldheadedness, in
growing toenails, or what-not. This re-
clpe involves the use of twenty silver
dollars which start from the pocloet
book Of the patient and never wander
back that way. According to the stor-
les told by the patient, the doctor in
strange and mysterious manner, took a
woman's stocking, a mans handker-
chief, girls hairribbon and boys
necktie and slowed them all away in
nice little wooden box in plain sight Of
the patient. In the center of all this
was placed the all-important twenty
silver dollars.

and in the sight of the patient, pro-
nounces some magic words over it.
waves his wand in the air several times
and tells his patient to go his or her
way and be healed. Strange to saw the
woman in this case believes that the
treatment has done her some good and
1t must be said that she has made no
sort of formal complaint against the
doctor.
On the other hand she appears to be
perfectly satisfied with the result for

yer iron men" and gone back to the
physician" for second treatment.
The complaints regarding the affair
appear to have all come from others
who have heard her story and who re-
sent the fact that such a scheme is all
lowed to go on unhindered in Kenosha
1t is maintained that some protection
should be laid around the gullible and
the entire Attain may be laid before the
ottlclals for a deeper probe.
