Hulet NJ. Wells
Tells of Famine
Friends of Soviet Russia Hear of the
Conditions in the Volga
River District.

At a meeting attended by over two
hundred Russians and friends of
Soviet Russia held at Carpenters hall
Friday night, Hulet M. Wells, member
Of the First International Congress
at Petrograd and Moscow, Russia, told
Of the starving condition Of the Rus
SLAMS in the Volga River district. Mr..
Wells is not of the commonly luridly
painted Belsheviks and expressed him
self in no uncertain language that he
was not for those things that are
reputed to be practically the censtitu-
ton of Soviet Russia. He stated that
he did not believe in the nationalist
ton of women or other of those hide
GUS things which have been reported
as having existed in Russia. Mr.. Wells
gave a broader Interpretation of what
Communism. Bolshevism and Non
Partisanship meant. An appeal to the
audience after the lecture resulted in
the speaker getting a tidy sum to send
to the relief workers now working in
Russia. It was the contention Of Mr.,
Wells that Herbert Hoover of the
American food administration, had di-
rected relief in surrounding countries
but had neglected Russia

CHICAGO DOCTORS.

Physicians Fear Hysteria Which Will

Alleged Curses.

by Associated Press Leased Wire.l
Chicago = Twelve prominent Chica-
go physicians issued joint statement
today pointing out the harm to inva-
lids they thought would arise from
publicity given to DR.. Adelph Lorenz,
the Vienna surgeon who is expected to
visit Chicago soon. 1t was announced
unofficially that a number Of Chicago
hospitals had decided not to invite DR..
Lorenz to their clinics.
The statement said that the Ameri-
can medical profession looks with dis
favor on newspaper publicity of the
type DR.. Lorenz has received, and
added:
"Such publicity inevitably will
arouse a response amounting to hys-
terra which will bring SO many unfort-
innate cripples of all sorts so many
incurable that careful, deliberate
examination of their ills will be physic-
ally impossible and bitter disappoint-
ment will come to many hopeful suffer
ers led to expect the impossible.
"The public does not realize that
the first operation, or treatment, in a
deformity case is only the beginning
and few surgeons are willing to take
upon themselves the responsibility and
trouble involved in giving the post
operative care, which may last several
months or years, in cases which have
been operated by some one else"

Locomotive on Northwestern,
Recalled by Old Timer.
Ever hear Of the "Minnie"?

Ever hear of the Minnie?
Unless you are an old resident of
Kenosha and Kenosha County, the
chances are against your ever hearing
of it. AS "old timers" will recall, the
Minnie" was a diminutive locomotive
operated on the Chicago and North
western railroad half a century ago
c.. E. Jennings, an cold timer" of
Chicago, has the following recollection
of the engine, all of which will be Of
interest to older Kenoshans:
How many Of the residents along
the North Shore today remember the
Minnie, the diminutive locomotive
that pulled the pay-car of the North
western out of Chicago, some fifty
years ago.
I was attending a country school in
those days, that was on the old Indian
boundary road that crossed the tracks
some miles north of the city, and go
ing back and forth, we kids would stop
to see the trim little wood-burner,
with broad smoke stack, red drive
wheels, and name under the cab win
dow
Everybody along the railroad knew

Meanwhile Cicchino is bemoaning
the fact that he is out the money which
he paid for the automobile as it has
been established without any doub,
that it was the one stolen in Chicago
The owner will come to Kenosha to-
day to claim his property.
Links Up With Confession.
The confession of Kane links ur
with the work of the Milwaukee de-
tectives here on Friday. 1t is believed
that Kane was only one Of the mem.
bers of the ring because of the fact
that some of the loot was found in Ke-
nosha, which the ring had not yet been
able to dispose of in Milwaukee.
The police believed that some of the
men may be implicated in an auto
theft ring and James Cicchino, who
was taken into custody while driv.
ing a stolen Haynes car, has been
arrested and is being held by Sheriff
Rauen in connection with the auto
mobile theft.
Investigation in Kenosha revealed
the fact that Kane came to this city
few months ago from TT. Wayne
Indiana, in search Of boxing bouts in
this city. When this form of employ
ment failed, he continued his plans
for nuptials Notwithstanding with the
result that, according to his confession
he took part in the robbery in order
not to disappoint the Kenosha girl
whom he had promised to marry.

Court Friday-Recess
Taken Till Dec. II.
BRUINS MOTION HEARD

Judge BeIden will preside in the Ra-
cine circuit court all next week and no
circuit court will be held in Kenosha
until December 18th. The jurors were
discharged until that date, when trials
will be heard of defendants under
grand Jury indictment. The case OF
the state against william Kiefes, which
made no progress Friday in the court
when it was called, will open the cal
endar when court opens here again q
week from Monday.
New MOtiOA In Bruns Case.
In the case Of Kiefes, the trial did
not even reach the point of securing a
jury, for while the drawing of jury
was on, the case was halted and the
| jurors dismissed. The afternoon was
spent with the hearing on various mo-
tions in other cases, in the case of the
State vs.. Bruins, second Indictment
charged and convicted of keeping q
house Of prostitution, and in the still
pending case Of Frank Martin, charged
with bribery of Tom Fleming, former
supervisor Of the county board and
chairman Of the town Of Salem.
Attorney Morris Barnett, acting for
John W. Bruins, entered a motion to
arrest judgment on the verdict in the
case Of the second indictment. Bruins
was found guilty on one Of the two
counts against him. Barnett argued at
length for an arrest of judgment
which, If granted, will release the de-
PENDANT. Should It be denied, Attorney
Barnett indicated today that he would
file motion for q new trial. Prosecu-
tor Mortimer Walker stated that he
did not mind at all having new trial
in the case and declared that he would
welcome one If the court so ordered
No decision was made.

ton to quash the indictment in the

ant Prairie, and while decision in this
matter was also suspended, il was init
mated that the case would 60 to trial
as it stood.
Attorneys r. v. Baker and A. l.
DrurY presented melton in the case
of Frank Martin, seeking to quash the
Indictment on the ground that it stated
no 0ffsnse known to the statute. Mar
tin is charged with having bribed Tom
Fleming, two counts being named. The
first count charges bribery for dance
hall protection and the second bribery
for running a gambling place.
Attorney Drury held that as town
chairman Fleming had no prosecuting
powers over violations Of the gambling
laws or dance halls improperly con-
ducted and that sueh power was vested
by statute in che district attorney and
sheriff. That, therefore, as town chair
man, Fleming had no power to prose
cute. ne could not by virtue Of his office
protect nor properly be bribed for pro-
lection. No ruling was made on the
motion.

The city directory got an awful bump
when these five men were brought in

eyes as they proceeded to book the
merry poker players. "Hello, Bill!'
one of the men was accosted by the
police officer, only to be informed that
the gentleman's name was not "Bili'
