BY Associated Press Leassi %irel
Dublin.-It now seems certain that
the summoning of the Irish republican
parliament to consider the British
terms, will be one of the very next
steps to be taken in connection with
the peace negotiations. Although the
calling Of the parliament for this pur-
pose is not likely to occur Immediately,
no date having yet been fixed, the APP
parent fact that such session has
been decided upon encourages the hope
here that the negotiations will prove
fruitful. No application has as yet
been made for the release of those
members of the parliament who are
still in prison, but the freeingef these
men is declared to be certain once the
date Of the meeting is fixed

CHIEF WANTS
MORE POLICE
Thad Logan Urges Adop-
ton of Many New Aids
for Efficient Work.
ASKS FOR new STATION

The police and fire commission in its
session last night was more of the
listener with the new chief of police,
Thad Logan, doing the talking last
night The new, chief has devoted a
lot of time to the working out Of
proper details as to how the Kenosha
department is to be run and last night
he was assured the full cooperation of
the commission. Logan visuafized Ke-
Rosha as a city of 100000 and asked
that the police force of Kenoha be so
organized that it would allow of easy
expansion.
"A flexible departm is the most
desirable thing in the world to combat
crime" the chief said. "Kenosha IS
climbing in the census books and with
a continuance of it's present rate Of
growth will in a short time be in the
100000 class and we want to so build
the department of Kenosha that new
department does not need to be organ
lied to take care of the needs of city
of that class" Logan continued.
Asks for New Station.
A new police station was among the
things recommended by the chief.
"Kenosha needs police station where
everything is devoted to police work.
The Kenosha spolice station has no
dressing station, where wounded po-
liceman or a prisoner can get his
wounds dressed A medical room is
necessity. Kenosha also needs a gym
nasium for its policemen, for instruc-
ton in the different manners of taking
care of an unruly prisoner and also
for gymnastic exercises that will keep
the policemen in fit physical shape,
Logan declared.
"The present quarters Of the depart
ment are inadequate in space and in
equipment and the sooner that the de-
partment is given those things, the
quicker the people Of Kenosha may
rely that much more on the efficiency
Of the department" he continued.
Adopt New Gun.
The Smith & Weston 38-calibre police
special revolver was brought up before
the commission and adopted. The pres
emit force is equipped with all sorts of
makes of firearms mad there has never
been any concerted action to get all
the, policemen of the city equipped with
the same style, make and calibre of
revolver. The new chief also recon-
mended the installation of flashlights
and gongs in the present alarm boxes
which was granted by the commission.

The contestant is Georgia Salmon
Jennings, Los Angeles, Calf, q cousin
Of the deceased who in the papers filed
in the office of Probate Judge Otto w.
Arnquist in this city-by her attorneys,
makes allegations that may radically
change the disposition of the great
fortune, the foundation of which was
laid by Anita North's father, the late
Lemuel North, who came to Hudson
in the ffties, and amassed wealth by
the buying and selling grain, mer-
chandising on a large scale, and loan
ing money . the pioneers of the st.

ed in the will nor was any provision
made for her in the distribution of the
estate under the will. The allegations

LOSS BY IDLENESS
Is NEAR BILLION
Startling Figures Are Given Out in
Connection With Metal Trades
Industry Today.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)

by Associated Press Leased Mlre)
New York City.-Idle men and ma
chinery are causing loss Of nearly a
billion dollars year in the metal
trades industry, said report issuod
today by the committee on elimination
of waste in industry of the American
Engineering Council. This estimate
does not include the value of materials
that would be utilized if productivity
were increased.
Instability of labor employment and
faulty management, the committee
said, are major causes of waste in the
industry which is the largest manufac-
turing industry in the United States,
both in number of employees and value
Of products.
The average waste, due to avoidable
labor turnover in the metal industry,
is computed at $100,0O0,000 Modern
employment methods, embracing the
study of "why men, quit" are urged.
"We have 2,000,00e unnecessary sep
arations' the equivalent of 100000
workers annually separated and re-
hired, says the report.
Present industrial conditions in the
United States and abroad are declared
seriously to have affected the metal
trades industry, which as whole, is
operating at only 500 normal.
Manufacturers" the report adds,
"can undoubtedly hasten a return to
normal conditions by producing goods
as economically as possible so as to
make selling prices low enough to at
tract buyers. There are nearly two
million people engaged in the metal
trades industry and an enormous in
crease in total production is possible.
1t is estimated that at present about
500 of the responsibility for waste or
non-production, rests with manage
ment; namely, with the managers and
executives in the plants"
The report says that open inter
change of ideas and business results
by arrangements, both in the particular
industry and in other industries, should
lead to higher level of methods, serv-
ice and general business ethics. If
carried through definite channels, such
interchange might easily result in a
combined study of the possibilities of
the future and the avoidance in the
years to come, of such conditions as
we are now facing.

The sensational charges made against
Assistant Chief of Police Cyzak and
Detective Charles Rock by the authori-
ties of Winthrop Harbor on Thursday,
July 1st, have been withdrawn without
any further statement from the au-
thorities of Winthrop Harbor and will
not be pressed by E.~E.- Palzen, village
trustee, and Mayor John Amen of that
place, following a thorough investiga-
ton of the case by Chief of Police
Thad Logan and Secretary Priddis of
the police and fire commission.
Logan Makes Investigation.
The two men were charged with in
discretion. drunkenness, profanity,
and attempting to arrest a man outside
of their jurisdiction. According to the
report made by the authorities at Win
throp Harbor, quite a collection of
people of Winthrop Harbor had been
witnesses to the actions Of the officers.
Then the authorities of Winthrop Har-
Dor through the channels of the press
made public the alleged actions of the
officers instead of reporting the case
to Chief of Police Logan. That this
action was going over the head of the
department, was the free acknowledge
ment of the village trustee and the
mayor of Winthrop Harbor in a con-
ference with Chief>~of Police Logan,
Secretary Priddis and two plain clothes
men from the Kenosha police depart
ment last night.
Chief Logan with Secretary Priddis,
accompanied by two plaip clothes men,
were in Winthrop Harbor on Thursday
evening, sitting down the report. Dur
ing the conference it developed that
the authorities of Winthrop Harbor
were willing to drop the charges
against the two men That the charges
would not be followed up was the an
nouneement of the mayor.
81 do not see that anything further
can be gained by our appearing before
the Kenosha police and fire commission
and so the charges will not be followed
up" Mayor Amen stated last night.
During the excitement here that night
things were done in a hurry and We
did not make our charges to the proper
person." he said. The parting Of the
chief and the authorities at Winthrop
Harbor was most amicable.
Either Way for Me-" Says Logan.
II am willing to press the charge
against the men, if you gentlemen of
Winthrop Harbor want to appear be-
fore the Kenosha commission" the
chief said last night. 81 am not trying
to tell you what to do-either one way
or the other. Mr.. Priddis of the COM
mission is here and is willing to do
either thing that you gentlemen wish
to do. The Kenosha police department
is going to be run ON the square and
everything in this investigation is
above board" ne said. "The commits
sion meets on Friday night and if you
gentlemen wish to appear and follow up
the charge, you may rest assured that
you will be given the most courteous
of attention and respect" Chief Logan
concluded.

STATE WILL BATTLE
THE STANDING BAR
''Take Them Out" Is the Order Which
Is Sent Out by State Prohibition
Commissioner Smith.

tBy Associated Press Leased Wire)
Madison.-With the thirty-day re-
prieve granted saloonkeepers of Wis
consin to place their establishments in
conformity with the new state prohibi-
tion enforcement law ending Monday,
w. Stanley Smith, prohibition commits
sioner, advised today that all license
holders acquaint themselves thoroughly
with the law.
This means, according to a recent
explanatory opinion of the attorney
general, that mo standing bar or coun-
ter of any description can be main
tanned at which the purchaser drinks
or consumes the liquor" and in the
second place that "if the bar is so
placed in the room that it obstructs the
view from the street of the space back
of the bar, then it is an enclosure, or
stall, that is, prohibited by the section"
According to the attorney-generaI's
Interpretation which is that of prohibit
tion commissioner, bars if they are
maintained cannot be used, and must
be rearrsnged so that any passerby
from the street can see clearly the
space behind them.
No question has been raised concern
ing the screens which are scheduled to
go, so that the interior of the saloons
is completely unobstructed
There seems to be a general willing
nesssto comply with these sections Of
the law" Smith said today. "Some sa-
loonkepers are raising objections, but
we trust, do not intend to violate the
provisions, even in view of any private
opinion" 1t is the belief of the com
missioner that, since bars are made
useless by the law, their owners will
shortly remove them in order to avoid
the temptation to sell across the coun-
ter violating the law

MAYER NAMED TO
REBUJIIDCOMP ANY
milwaukee Attorney Is Re
tanned to Re~organize
Hotel Company.
HOPEFUL OF SUCCESS
Favorable Plan" Said to Have
Been Submitted with Hope 1t
VIII Be Supported.

Attorney Walter F. Mayer of Milwau-
kee has been retained to have charge
of the reorganization of the Sheridan
Road Corporation, which plans for the
erection of the Algonquin Hotel in Ke-
nosha, and he gave out statement to-
day which indicates that a determined
effort is to be made to form a reorgan-
lied company which will carry through
the project. Mr.. Mayer has not, how
eyer, announced that the hotel is to be
erected at once, but he expressed the
hope that the plans of the company
will eventually be carried out and the
statement which has been sent to the
creditors has urged that no effort be
made at-this time to embarass the
company. It is admitted that such eff
forts might badly handicap the plans
for the reorganization Of the company
and the erection of the building as
planned
Difficult Time for Financing.
Permit me to say" said Attorney
Mayer, chat very favorable plan has
been submitted to bankers for this pur-
pose, and although it is exceedingly
difficult to finance at this particular
time, more especially for the purpose
of reyiving an almost abandoned pro-
ject, we are very hopeful that the plan
Submitted or one just as good and ad-
vantageous for the city of Kenosha,
will be accepted by the bankers. Nego-
tiations in matter involving as large
a project as this, require considerable
time, besides the delay occasioned by
an investigation made by the bankers.
However, we are hopeful of receiving a
satisfactory reply within the very near
future.2
Chicago Men Here Recently.
1t is said that a number of Chicago
men were recently in Kenosha making
an investigation as to the conditions
surrounding the hotel project and that
at that time they expressed great in
terest in the matter. 1t is understood
that the company sometime ago gave
up hopes of financing the plan in Keno
sha but the Chicago men are said to
be very kindly disposed toward it, if
just little local help can be secured.

siderable bootlegging in the vicinity of

FISHER PAY Is
HELD BY COUNTY
County Board to Pass on
Last Months Salary of
District Attorney.
GARRISON FILES BILL

A new angle came into the case of
retiring District Attorney Peter Fisher
this morning when the county clerk
held up the last monthly pay check of
the district attorney. When a clerk
of the district attorney called for the
monthly salary warrant this morning
she was informed that the warrant
would not be issued until after the
meeting Of the County Board on Tues
day. The salary of the district attor-
ney amounts to 1915 a month and it
has been customary for his warrants
to be delivered to his clerk.
"The check was held up pending the
meeting of the County Board" said
County Clerk Charles l.. Holderness.
II am not seeking to pass on the mat
ter. There has been considerable
discussion of these financial matters
and under the law the county clerk has
a right to hold this warrant for few
days and that is all there is to it. If
the County Board passes on the matter
on Tuesday, and | anticipate that it
will, the check will be promptly issued
to Mr.. Fisher"
Assistant Files Bill
Judge Joseph R. Clarkson, who has
been serving the county in the posi-
ton of assistant attorney since last
December, filed a bill with the county
clerk on Friday for $640 covering his
services for recent months.
1t is said that members of the
County Board have protested against
the payment of the last months salary
to the district attorney on the ground
that he has not been at work. 1t is
safd that he has not had charge of the
prosecution of cases but that the work
has been in the hands of assistants.
Several of the members of the board
have promised to bring the matter be-
fore the board on Tuesday. Attorneys
seemed to be agreed that the county
could not withhold pay of Mr.. Fisher.
New Regime on Monday.
Monday morning is the time set for
the change of officials and at that time
Judge Frank S. Symmonds will become
district attorney. Attorney Robert
Verne Baker is expected to take over
the office of county judge and it was
expected that his official commission
from the governor would reach Kenosha
some time today. The change in the
officials will not bring any ceremony.
