WISCONSIN BREWERS
MUST GET PERMITS
Manufacture of Beer Without State
Permit is Declared to be Viola
ton of SeversOn Act.
lBy Associated Pcs Leased Wire !

ny fAsSocldJeu GreSS Leased Wire. J
Madison, Wis. - Brewers in Wiscon-
sin will have to obtain state permits
before being allowed to manufacture
beer for medicinal purposes, w. Stan
ley Smith, prohibition commissioner
decided today. These permits will be
in addition to those authorizing man
ufacture and sale of neer beer by the
de-alcoholizing process.
Applications will be mailed out to
the breweries of the state today and
manufacture will be held up until state
authorization is granted. Each appli-
cation must be accompanied by ap-
proval of the district attorney Of the
county in which the brewery is locat-
ed, and by fee of $1,000.
It was originally thought that per-
mits to manufacture near beer would
permit the manufacture of intoxicat-
ing product for medicinal purposes.
The prohibition commission, however.
today decided that the new permits
would be necessary.
Any brewery which starts manufac
ture without state authorization is
subject to prosecution under the Sew
erson law, which carries a heavy fine.

ter long visit in Europe he was pick
ed up by the sheriff. II never was a
partner of Alderman Wachs," Schmidt
told the official, "and l was in Europe
when the alleged offense was commit
ed" In court this morning it was
discovered that the grand jury indict-
ment was in error as to the name Of
the defendant and he was discharged
by Judge Belden from the bench The
man who should have been named in
the indictment was said to be Martin
Schmidt, former member of the Board
of Education who is now operating a
barber shop at Winthrop Harbor Mar
tin Schmidt has not as yet been ar
rested but he has offered to come to
Kenosha when his appearance here is
necessary. This offer was made some
time ago and it is not know whether
or not it still stands A lot of things

KElVOSHAN'S KIN
in FAR RUSSIA
Father and Mother of S.
Wolkomir in Starving
Russia.
PAY PRETTY PRICES
Boots Retail at Six Hundred
Thousand Rubles in
Astrakan, Russia.

Kenosha people who think that the
prices insKenosha are exorbitant here,
should go to far-away Russia where
pair of shoes retail for six hundred
thousand rubles. While it is a, we'll
known fact that the ruble has greatly
deprecated in value since the World
war six hundred thousand rubles is a
goodly sum to pay for shoes. First
hand information concerning the true
conditions existant in Russia at the
present time was received in Kenosha
on Monday when S. Wolkomir of $50
Middle street received a letter from
his father and mother at Australian,
Russia. Astrakan is near the Caspian
Sea and is near the mouth Of the Volga
river.
Jacob Wolkomir, father of the Ke-
noshan, was wealthy Russian before
the war and during the first three
years of the conflict After that time,
however, with the assassination Of
Gear Nicholas things took turn for
the worse and his father was reduced
from wealthy upholsterer of fur
niture to mendicant on the streets.
At the present time the Wolkomir
family are treading the streets Of As
trakan looking for something to eat.
Food FrightfuIly Scarce.
The letter from Russia stated that
the Wolkomir family had not suffered
as greatly from lack of food as some
in the.city but that they had felt the
pinch of hunger. Bread is selling for
500 rubles a pound and is hard to get
for that price. The bread is of an in
ferior quality and is made Of black
corn and wheat such as is grown in
that district. Meat retails for six
thousand rubles pound and butter
sells for the exorbitant rate of $4,000
for sixteen ounces with the merchants
altering their scales so that short
weight may be given. With prices of
food at such high figures, starvation
Is common occurrence, and according
to the letter people are dying 'Iike
hiesY to use the expression used in
the letter
Is Sending Clothing.
Joseph Wolkomir, brother of the
kenoshan, was in the Bolshevik army
for two years and has just returned
home from fighting with other Soviet
forces in Russia, Russia is in very
chaotic state and from the tone of
the letter written to the Kenosha man,
little hope may be had for the i'm
mediate future of Russia. Wolkomir
has attempted to send food and cloth
ing to his family in Russia but has
no definite assurance that the food
sent will ever reach Russia. Cloth
ing especially is hard to get in. Russia
and Wolkomir has attempted to get the
Red Cross to deliver the package of
clothing 70 the family but ,he Red
Cross has no means of getting into the
interior of Russia and delivering in
dividual packages.

TEACHER SLAYER is
RELEASED BY BLAINE
Grace Lusk Permitted to Leave Prison
in Order to Be Under Care
of Surgeons.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.l

Madison.-Grace A. Lusk, Waukesha
school teacher, serving 10 years in
prison for the murder of Mrs. David
Roberts in 1917, as the climax of a
love triangle, was granted temporary
release from the state penitentiary to-
day by Governor John ]. Blaine. She
will leave the prison as soon as ar
rangements are made to receive sur
gical treatment which the governor
says is necessary to save her life Ac-
tion on her application for a pardon
will be deferred until the result of the
treatment is known, Governor Blaine
declared.
The temporary release is granted, he
said, following reports on the condition
of the prisoner, made by two prison
physicians, two physicians chosen by
Miss Lusk and fifth physician select
ed by the governor, who examined the
reports of each of the others before
arriving at his conclusions.
Grace Lusk is a sick woman and
should receive the consideration due
her because of her Illness" Governor
Blaine said in statement accompany
ing the order for release. lit is neces-
sary that she refrain from any inter-
views. No one will be permitted to
call upon her, except by permission Of
the physician in charge, and then only
friends will be permitted"
The governor declared that the nee
essary treatment to save the life of the
prisoner is not available at the peni-
tertiary and that the chances for re-
covery are far greater if treatment is
administered under such surroundings
as will aid recovery.
Regular reports will be furnished
me by the physician in charge and the
application for pardon will be deferred
until the result of the treatment is
known" the governor said.
This action on the part of the gov
ernor is the result of hearing held
several months ago on the application
of Grace Lusk for pardon. At that
time her attorneys pleaded that the
prisoner would die unless given proper
treatment.
Her sentence to prison on conviction
for murder followed her killing of the
wife of DR.. David Roberts, a Waukesha
veterinarian. She had maintained IN.
innate relations with the doctor and
when he is alleged to have sighted her,
killed his wife. DR.. Roberts served a
short term in prison after conviction
on statutory charge.
