DEPUTY OTTO ON
SPEEDERS' TRAIL
They Shall Not Speed
Says Deputy in Talking
About Motorists.
NABS SEVEN MONDAY

"They shall not pass" was the watch
word of the French when the Germans
attempted to advance on Paris during
the World War and the credit for the
remarkable saying is credited to a
prominent French general but it was
up to Deputy Sheriff Otto to change
the wording a little. His slogan is
"They shall not speed" and if his
work yesterday is any indication of
what will happen to any fellow who
steps on the accelerator on the Lake
Shore Road, speeders had better watch
out. Nick is out for blood.
Says They Are Speed Kings.
"Some of those birds think they are
running a road race against time or
else on the Speedway track in In
dianapolis," Otto said this morning.
"and the sooner they find out that I've
got motorcycle that will go just as
fast as any bus around Kenosha the
better it will be for them. Some of
those fellows come out the pike with
muffler wide open and giving the bus
the gas for all they're worth Well

BUCK
Is KEPT MOVING

Observation-Disclosures S. Bailey. law
partner of Samuel T. Ansell, counsel
for Grover C. Bergdoll, Philadelphia
draft evader, told the house investi-
eating committee today that the war
department. made no attempt "to wash
its hands of the case and passed the
buck to Ansell," when advised that
Bergdoll had escaped. Corroborating
testimony of his partner, Mr.. Bailey,
said Secretary Baker refused to see
the lawyers, but sent word to Ansell
that the department expected him to
see that Bergdoll was returned to
prison in accordance with promises
made when he was released under
guard to recover a pot of gold. The
witness said, however, that he did not
construe this to be putting the matter
entirely up to Ansell' but assumed
that military machinery would be used
to pursue the fugitive. Bailey reiter-
ated that former Judge John W. Yves
colt of New Jersey was associate
counsel in the Bergdoll case notwith-
standing the judges denial that his
name had been mentioned in letters
to Maj.-Gen. Harris, acknowledgement,
and that it was again mentioned in a
statement given to the press by An
sell and Bailey few days after the
prisoner had escaped. Reverting to
Judge Wescott's testimony that he
knew nothing about the pot of gold
story prior to the escape, John H.
Sherburne, counsel for the committee,
asked, ''Was the gold mentioned at the
conference with Judge Wescott at
which plans were discussed for the
release to hunt t?' "Why, absolute
ly," Mr.. Bailey replied. "There was
no question about it. Judge Wescott
was there all the time we were talking
about it,"

PULL DROWNED
MAN FROM RIVER
Body of John Mantag is
Found in Tannery River
This Morning.
MAY BE A SUICIDE
Was Playing Cards Late Last
Night but Found on Street
at Three This Morning.


The police have mysterious case
in the body of John Mantag, Rus
sian, presumably about forty years of
age, which was found at six-thirty this
morning in the tannery river by Fred
Greiling and A. H. Anderson. The two
men reported their find to the police
department who Immediately took
charge of the situation. An investi-
CATION into the matter did no disclose
much that would be of interest or
that would materially help in solving
the cause of his death.
According to the police records, Man
tag was playing cards at the Schlitz
hotel last night until ten-thirty when
he quit and went upstairs to his room.
At three-thirty this morning, he was
found on the sidewalk in front of the
Fred Greiling hotel by Nick Kewsick.
The next thing that was heard of the
man was the finding Of the body in
the tannery river at six-thirty by
Greiling and Anderson.
The body was taken to the Mischler
undertaking parlors. The body was
fully dressed in neat but not unduly
flashy clothes. The appearance of the
man was that Of an intelligent worker
of Russian descent
Owed Big Board Bill.
AS a result of a visit to the man S
room in the Schlitz Hotel, it was found
that Mantag was a very sober and
self respecting man, who had been out
of work for long time. The prop
rietor of the hotel, Ignatz Makofsky,
stated that the man had been out of
work for several months but that he
had always paid his board money until
February 10th when sMantag stated
that he was out of funds. At that
time, Makofsky stated, Mantag said he
would pay his board bill just as soon
as he got work. He has stayed at the
hotel since that time and it was said
that he has resided at the hotel for
the last five years. Friends of Mantag,
when talked with this morning, stated
that Mantag was a decent sort Of a
fellow but that he was changing in
temperament. He formerly was jolly
and always had good word for every
one, but since being out of work and
delinquent in his board money, had
become morose He owed almost $3.50
in board money.
Might Have Taken Poison.
1t was the opinion of the coroner
that Mantag was respondent over
working conditions and his lack of
funds and that he had taken poison
and had walked down to the river with
the idea in mind that as soon as the
poison began to have effect, the body
would drop into the water. The body
when found this morning was floating,
an unusual thing in such cases. This
the coroner stated might be explained
in two ways-either the man had taken
poison and then dropped into the
water, or he had slipped off the pier
and then held on to some object until
he was exhausted. In either case,
there would be a sufficient amount of
air in the lungs to keep the body on
the surface of the water.

CITY TO HAVE
BUYING AGENT
Council Looks With Favor
on Plan for Hiring Pur-
chasing Agent.

There may be an addition soon to
the force employed by the city at the
city hall On Monday evening at the
meeting of the city council, the alder
men looked with favor on the plan for
hiring city purchasing agent to do
all of the buying for the various de-
partments of the city. The proposal
was referred to the finance committee
with, suggestion that it be investi-
be made in the near future to the city
council
The discussion was brought about by
a bill presented by Alderman Stein for
the city garage. Il have looked over
several items on this BILL" explained
Alderman Stein, "and I believe that
they could be purchased much cheaper
if we had someone to do that work.
So far as the garage is concerned, if
the council will authorize me, | will
pay special attention to it. as | did
while serving on this committee sew
eral years ago."
Points Out Examples.
Alderman Stein in the small bill
which he presented pointed out that a
considerable saving could have been
nVde. Spark plugs listed at 80 cents
could be purchased in fairly large
quantities for 43 cents and several 9TH
er items showed the same difference.
Alderman Anderson declared that
the incident had suggested to him the
probability that purchasing agent for
the city would save his salary several
times over if he were employed.
"It's a good idea," said the city clerk,
"and l am sure that the city would
save by such procedure" The exper-
fence of the school board was also cited
and it was suggested that the two Off
ces might be com bined.
Might Be Mayors Secretary.
1t was also suggested that the per
son who was secured for purchasing
agent might also be employed as a sec
rotary to the mayor. His position
might hold over from one administra-
ton to the other and in this way he
might be an invaluable aid to any in
coming mayor. This project will also
be considered by the committee in
making its investigation into the plan
for hiring a purchasing agent.
