Silk Thieves Make
Rich Haul Here
Silk Thieves Break into Store of Max
B. Lepkovsky and Take $3.50
Worth of Merchandise.

Silk thieves made rather rich haul
in Kenosha either Friday evening or
early Saturday morning when they
forced their way into The Style Shop, a
store owned by Max P. Lepkovski at
26 South West Main street and carried
away $3.50 worth OF silk shirts and silk
socks. The thieves made their way
into the store by means of basement
window. The thieves evidently knew
into the store by means of d base
ment window. They evidently knew
the store as they touched nothing ex-
cept the silk wares and for this rea-
son the robbery was not discovered
until Saturday evening and it is believ-
ed that two men, strangers, who were
seen near the store, are implicated.
The robbers were so bold that they did
not even turn off the night and they
ventured so far as to take several silk
shirts which were in one of the show
windows of the stores.
The robbery was reported last Sat-
urday to the police but because Of the
fact that so long time had elapsed, it
is not believed that it will be possible
to find any trace of the thieves.

City Raises Fund
to Save Old Tree


Lawrence, Mass Citizens here have
raised large fund. to save a giant
elm from the woodchoppers' ak. Leg
end says that more than a century and
half ago a young soldier returning
from the French and Indian wars, stop
ped for the night at the Bodwell home
stead in this city. He was without
money but in the morning he sought to
90 something in return for the kind
ness. shown him. Mrs. BodwelI sug-
gested that more shade was needed at
the southwest corner of the house, and
so the soldier went into the woods,
brough back an elm sapling, planted it
and went his way.
The old gabled house, sheltered thru
the ears~by the EN- grown to splen-
did proportions, recently changed
hands and word went out that the tree
was to be cut down. A movement to
save the ancient landmark was started,
the owner agreeing to sell the entire
without profit. School chill
dren have had a large part in raising
the required $4,000 It is proposed to
use the house as the headquarters of a
historical society but the purchase of
the building is only incidental to the
saving of the famous elm.

visited by traders for four years, were
reached last summer by party of Am
erican traders. heaeed by Capt. S. K
Gudmundson, master of the trader
schooner Polar Bear, according to word
received here.
The Bear left Nome, Alaska, June 27,
1920, sailed around the Siberian coast
and East Cape into the Arctic and ar
rived at the mouth of the Kolyma on
August 4. The schooner was worked
up the river 12o miles and anchored
while the traders took a small boat 800
miles farther up.
"We were still 4s0 miles from the
head of the river" Capt. Gudmundson
said in writing of his trip to Juneau
friend. eve found trading very good
as no boat had visited that vicinity in
four years and we soon disposed of our
wares and loaded up with goods of the
country"
Last winter the Polar Bear and its
company was frozen in at the mouth
of the Kolyma, having failed in an at
tempt to reach Nome before the ice
came.
Her cargo Of furs and ivory will be
taken to Nome this spring and shipped

French Try to
Picture PrOfiteer

Paris-M Classy, a Partisan painter,
was strolling past an art dealers shop
sometime ago when he recognized a
landscape which he had hastily splash
ed on the canvass in his Latin Quarter
days years ago anu rnen disposed of
for song. Curious to ascertain what
price was asked for the picture he en-
tered the shop and nearly suffered a
stroke when the dealer said: 100000
francs"
"You dealers are great humorists, a."
he dmonished the shopkeeper, 81
know what that canvass is worth; l
painted it myself"
please begin by being serious your
SELF" replied the dealer coldly, "this is
a genuine Whistler, why don't you look
at the signature"
The painter had the dealer summon
ed before committee of experts which
has just reported that the painting is
not a Whistler but the work of NJ
Classy, the plaintiff in the case.
The picture is now on sale for 1900
francs.

and it is said that they are now in the
minority-are protesting against the
big cut and want to know what is the
need for such heavy assessment.
They will meet this evening in the
town hall at Bristol to talk over their
troubles and see if some united &C
ton cannot be taken in regard to it.
1t was suggested that this meeting
might be an Indignation meeting"
but the answer was that it was
called merely to secure an explanation
of the assessment.
Largest Month of Year.
Another thing which the farmers
cannot understand is why the officials
should happen to hit on the month of
June to make this large assessment.
This month has been one of the best
of the year and heavy assessment
will bring in much more revenue than
it would during any other month.
Frank T. Holt, the president of the
association, was in Chicago today and
could not be reached regarding the sit
uation. From member of his family,
it was learned that Mr.. Holt was ac-
quainted with the facts that there was
some friction in the ranks Of the pro-
ducers and that he would be on hand
to explain the situation this evening
1t was maintained that only small
number of the farmers are complaining
about the assessment.

Low Mentality"
Says Physicians
Martin Rajcan, Arrested on Statutory
Charge, Is Declared to Be Low
in Mentality.

In an examination neId this morning
into the mental condition Of Martin
Rajcan, the Kenoshan who was arrest
ed on Friday morning on statutory
charge in connection with the holding
of Stefna Porusch, fourteen-year-
old girl, physicians declared that the
man had low mentality but could
not be considered a moron. The ex-
animation revealed that while Rajcan
had in many respects the brain of a
child, still he was man in others and
could be held responsible for his acts.
Rajcan will be arraigned on the charge
pending the formal finding of the mem
tai inquest. 1t was declared that there
was no reason to declare the man in
sane.

Racine and KenOsha Buzzes
With Report of Alleg-
ed Confession.
HITS 'HIGHER UPS"
No Direct Admission Made but
Many Seem to Know of State
ment Made in Milwaukee.

Kenosha and Racine buzzed on Sat
urday with a report that q former
Kenosha man who had been called into
Milwaukee to discuss the violations of
the liquor laws with the United States
district attorney, had made full con-
fession in which he had given most
interesting story of the working of the
whiskey ring in KenoSha county and
along with the story the names of
every man connected with it. Con-
firmation of the story of the confes-
sion is lacking, but it is known that
the man who was formerly employed
in a bank in Kenosha was summoned
before the United States district at
torney and his story is alleged to have
related especially to Investigations of
the governments arrest of Joseph
E. Custer.
E. D. Kosterman is named as the
man who made the statement to the
federal officials. Enquiries in Racine
failed to bring any further facts in
the matter. 1t is declared that the
final warrants in indictments returned
by the federal grand jury are to be sent
out from Milwaukee some time today.
Said to Imp4icate Kenoshans.
Some of the officials about Kenosha
appeared to have considerable knowl-
edge Of the statements which were al
legged to have been made in the con-
fession. 1t was said that it not only
implicated lot of men who have been
named before in the considerations of
the federal officials but to have brought
directly into line for the federal net a
half dozen Kenosha people who have
been known as "higher ups. No state
ment could be secured in Racine in re-
been made by KoBterman and Kenosha
people who knew the former banker
we'll have admitted an unwillingness
to believe that he was closely connect
ed with the dealings of the "liquor
ring" 1t was said by one man who
professed to have knowledge and who
was in an official position that Roster
man had acted as a salesman for
the ring and had been most success
full in this way.
Itwas said that the statements made
had shown necessity for further con-
sideration of these cases on the part of
the grand jury in Milwaukee.
Still Say KenOsha Warrants.
Regardless of the fact that it was
stated in official circles on Saturday
that there would be no Kenosha war
rants it was declared in local police
circles today that it was expected that
Kenosha men would be arrested and
taken to Milwaukee and that there
would be several of the Kenosha peo-
pie named in the warrants. Joseph E.
Custer is said to have been in Keno
sha on Sunday but he made no
further statements in regard to the
case against him.

out plans for bonds and their cases
were much harder than the cases of
the Kenosha men.
There appeared to be a willingness
among defendants to accommodate
each other by signing a round robin
of bonds, but the judge promptly
frowned on such a plan and declared
that he would insist on two signatures
to each bond
Buckmaster May Help Out.
1t was declared during the long hear
ing that it was probable that Judge
Belden would not be able to be in
Kenosha for the hearing of pleas on
all indictments returned and it was
announced that Court Commissioner
Buckmaster would be called in to aid
with this work. Nothing was given
out as to how frequently indictments
would be returned by the grand jury.
1t was admitted that several de-
PENDANTS sought had been found tenn
porarily out of the city and it was
suggested that some of them had fled
on the belief that they would be in
dicted by the grand jury!
Judge Belden intimated that he
would seek to have the cases taken up
for trial at an early date and declined
the suggestion of attorneys for the
defendants that the cases be continued
until after the summer months.

SOlOns Continue
Peace Discussion

Washington - Debate on the Porter
peace resolution terminating the state
of war with Germany and Austria was
resumed in the House today under a
rule calling for final vote at 4:3O
o'clock. More than so members had
been assigned speaking time but adop-
ton Of the measure as a substitute for
the Knox Senate resolution repeating
the declaration of war was generally
expected. Republicans claimed solid
party support for it and many Demo
cratic votes.
Adoption Of the Porter substitute
will mean a conference with both SEN
ate and House leaders declaring de-
termination to stand by their own
peace plan.
Representative Connolly, Democrat,
Texas, said adoption of the resolution
would leave Germany free to hold seiz-
ed American property and permit that
country to demand return of all Ger
man property held in United States.
Germany which we conquered" he
said, will become under the measure
cut equal at the treaty making table
and will make your president crinSe
and fawu in demanding that which
we won by war"
Representative Burton, Republican,
Ohio, supporting the resolution, said
it would have to be supplemented by
treaty provision and the simplest
course would be to ratify the treaty
of Versailles with reservations.
mo separate treaty with Germany
can afford an adequate solution of the
situation" he said, "as the political
and economic future of that country
was largely under the control of the
Allies"
