these was to mislead the foreign ele-
ment in the city by teaching them a
wrong conception of American liberty
and freedom. "The doctrine which
these agitators have taught" declared
Attorney Hicks, "will, if carried to its
logical conclusions, produce anarchy"
Suggests Two-Fold Remedy.
A two-fold remedy was suggested.
First, it was pointed out that "house-
cleaning" of officials was needed to
put into Office men who could be re-
lied upon to enforce the law. Then
it was also suggested that a series of
Americanization meetings to train
both American and foreign born in the
duties of citizenship would go far to-
wards helping to solve the problem.
In addition to the meeting held at
the Park Avenue NJ. E. Church, other
Kenosha pulpits were occupied by rep
resentatives of the Anti-Saloon League
of Wisconsin on Sunday and the mes
sage was spread broadcast throughout
the city. 1t is expected that the meet
ings will be followed up by organiza-
ton to help bring about the reforms

UNITED STATES COURT
SAVES VICTOR BERGER
Conviction Before Judge Lands Is
Reversed by the United States
Court This Morning.
(By Associated Press)

Washington.-The conviction of Vic
tor L. Berger and four other members
of the Socialist party for violation of
the espionage act was reversed by the
supreme court this morning on the
grounds that Judge Lands should not
have heard the suit after his eligibil-
ity was questioned. The other men
convicted with Berger were Adolph
Germer, national secretary; William
Kruse, editor of the young Socialist"
magazine; J. Lewis Engdahl and Err
win St. John Tucker. Within a few
minutes after the courts decision was
announced, President Wilson refused
to commute the 10-year sentence inn
posed on Eugene V. Debs for viola
ton Of the same law. The court di-
vided six to three, Justice Day, Pitney
and McReynolds dissenting. The ma
jority opinion held that the affidavit
of prejudice was sufficient to have
caused the withdrawal Of Judge Lands
from the case. Justice McReynolds
added to his dissenting opinion
statement praising Judge Lands for
the stand he had taken against the
"Hunnish cooperation Of the convict
ed with Germany" and Justice Day
held that mere filing of an affidavit of
prejudice should not be accepted as
evidence. He declared that Bergers
affidavit could not be taken at face
value and that the charge of prejudice
should be investigated.

Attempt at Suicide
Proves Successful

Leopold Witt, the respondent old
man who on Thursday after making
all arrangements for his funeral, cut
his wrists with a razor in an attempt
to end his life, died Sunday evening at
the st. GATHERINGS hospital as result
of the self-inficted wounds. The pa
tient, who was SO years old, was un-
able to recover from the loss of blood
which he suffered and despite the best
of care, died last Sunday.
It was learned today that in addi-
tion to leaving all of his money in the
care of another with the instructions
that certain amount of it be paid
for funeral expenses, Witt had made
other arrangements for his funeral
which indicate clearly that he had long
planned the rash act which ended his
life. Recently he had purchased a
tombstone to be placed on the lot in
the Green Ridge cemetery where his
wife is buried.
Witt had lived in Kenosha for many
years but so far as can be learned.
had no relatives here. His nearest of
kin appears to be nephew now in
Seattle, who will probably inherit a
small sum of money which the de-
spondent old man left. The remains
were taken to the Hansen funeral
home where the funeral services will
be held in accordance with the wishes
of the deceased at two o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon with interment fol-
lowing in the family plot in Green
Ridge.

Declaring that Kenosha, while it
was not "the worst city in Wisconsin,
was bad enough" and that it was
center of the illegal booze traffic for
a large area, Attorney Byron N. Hicks
of the Wisconsin Anti-Saloon League
executive offices advocated political
housekeeping for Kenosha, in a stir
ring address delivered Sunday morn
ing at the church service at the Park
Avenue M E. Church. The speaker dis
closed the results of survey which
had been made in Kenosha, which re-
vealed that lax law enforcement had
marked this city as a gathering place
for violators of the prohibition law.

Mrs. Lloyd Wants
Mothers Pension
Woman Who Served as Postal EN-

for Mothers Pension.

Mrs. Eva G. Lloyd was in the Office
of Judge FULLY this morning asking for
information concerning mothers pen
sons. Mrs. Lloyd established an en-
viable record during the World War
by joining the postal service. She
served throughout the war and has
been in the employ Of Uncle Sam for
three years During the three years,
she has always been diligent in getting
the mail delivered to the people and
has always covered her route. She has
record of not missing a day for a

Mrs. Lloyd lives at Somers where
her husband died on January 18th.
Mrs. Lloyd states that there is small
amount of insurance but said that she
had two small dependent children upon
her hands and that they were going to
be educated regardless of things. "I
went over the top for my family dur
ing the World War and release man
for active service because my family
did not have any man to go and now
that | am in need of little assistance
| think that it is no more than fair
that the state should do its part" Mrs.
Lloyd told News representative this
morning.
Mrs. Lloyd has four children but
two of them do not come under the
provisions of the mothers pension act.
This morning when Mrs. Lloyd went
to the barn at their home in Somers,
she found her COW dead. "That was
about the last stroke" she said. 81

A warning was issued that unless

city, and staged a thorough house
cleaning of its own, the federal gov
eminent, firing of an Indifferent atti-
tude towards national laws, would step
in and bring Kenosha into line as a

spected.
City Administration Rotten"
The speaker spared no terms in fay
ing a city administration which would
allow municipality to become known
as he declared Ke1osha was known. He
said that the same problems were
found everywhere as in Kenosha but
that most cities had gone farther to-
wards the solution of them. He admit
ted, however, that the large foreign
element in the population of Kenosha
made it little more difficult to en-
force the law but he declared that this
was no excuse to allow the situation
to become as serious as it has here.
Your city administration is rotten. !"

VOTERS LEAGUE
READY FOR WORK
Committee on Organization
Meets on Sunday After
noon for Work.
SHOW UP CANDIDATES.

The first formal meeting for the
formation of the Kenosha Voters
league for activities at the coming city
election, was held on Sunday after
noon at the office of Buckmaster and
Hammond. Attending the meeting
were Attorney Lewis Powell Attorney
A. E. Buckmaster and Charles H. Good
man who had been named as com
mittee to work out plans for activi-
ties in the campaign. The committee
decided that the organization should
be active in the coming campaign with
view of closely scrutinizing the rec
ords of candidates and giving to the
people the full facts in regard to the
records of all men seeking office.
Whether the league will bring candi-
dates into the field later in a matter
which must be decided after
wider organization has been developed
in the next few days.
For Improved Civic Government.
"The league will work for an i'm
proved civic government along all
lines which may be available" declar-
ed one of the members of the organi-
cation committee this morning. ct was
decided to pick people to work with
the league in every ward of the city
and the organization will be perfected
just as soon as possible. Three men
can not take upon themselves the
dictation of a policy to work by, but
this will be announced after further
organization"
1t is expected that there will be
many volunteers from both the men
and the women of the city for the
work of the new league. Plans for
the work were fully outlined in the
News some time ago and it is under
stood that this plan will be followed
Many Bring Candidates Later.
1t is not improbable that the Keno
sha Voters league will sponsor the
candidacy of people for office, but this
action will not be taken until after
there has been considerable showing
of candidates brought into the field.
In wards where the records of men
seeking Office are not recommends
ton to them the league will undoubt-
eddy use its influence to get other
candidates into the field.
No plans were made for calling a
mass meeting to further the organiza-
ton of the league, but plans which
were successfully followed last fall in
creating an organization for the county
election will be followed this spring

The Secret of Endeavor Success.

If we were asked to tell the secret
of Endeavor Success, tne answer
would be that it has abolished the
old passive Christianity where one
sat and sang ones soul away in CIV
erlasting bliss, and substituted a
practical and active Christianity. 1t
has put hte young to work for the
church and the religion which it
breaches, recognizing that faith
without works is dead, and never
more lethal than when it attempts
to curb the youthful desire for ac-
ton, for achievement, or even for
evangelization.-From the Lowell
(Mass.) Leader.
1t is hoped that Christian Endeav-
or's slogan of a "warless world by
1923" may become true. 1t is rath-
er too good a wish to be realized,
