COMMISSIONERS DoNoHUE's REAP
POIETMENT.

Almost from the time that Governor
that he would have many appointments
to make there has been interest in the
action that he would take in regard to
compensation commissioner for this dis
trict. The job is an important one and
among the attractions is the salary and
expense allowance that goes with it. It
has It's responsibilities but 1t Is nice
berth.
Ever since the compensation commits
sion was created DR.. ]. J. Donohue Of
this city has been a member. He is the
one medical representative on the board
and there were reasons to believe that in
vdew IF the satisfactory administration
of the duties he would be reappointed
even though he is democrat. Such was
lone before and in view Of the absence
of ground for claims of inefficieney it
was the logical course at this time pro-
vided the board Of commits sioners was to
be kept out Of politics.
Heretofore it has been the policy of
the governor to regard the compensation
commission in the light Of judicial
body, to name new members along the
same lines followed in selecting judges
for the various courts because Of ability
and fitness, and by the action Of Gov
ernor Lake in reappointing Commits
sioner Donohue for period Of five years
from the first of January it becomes
evident that he is not disposed to let pol
itics enter into the selection of board
members or to have the office kicked

SalinkO Divorce
is Now Reopened

The divorce suit of Mrs Mary Salin-
ko, formerly of Kenosha and we'll
known here, against her husband, DR..
Stephan Salinko, of Milwaukee, which
has been in circuit court in Milwaukee
since 1914, has been re-opened on the
petition Of Mrs. Salinko, according to
decision handed down by Judge Fritz
on Monday.
In 1914 Mrs. Salinko was awarded a
legal separation which was made alb
solute in favor of the husband in De-
cember 1920 on the grounds of deser-
ton. In February 1921, Mrs. Salinko
returned to Kenosha from Europe and
asked that the case be re-opened on
the contention that she had been
caught in the maelstrom of war and
revolution and was unable to come to
this country to defend the suit.
The re-opening of the case by Judge
Fritz is a victory for Mrs. Salinko and
it is believed that it may anticipate
an award for additional alimony which
the Kenosha woman has asked. After
returning to America, Mrs. Salinko was
in Kenosha for several weeks, return
ing to Milwaukee only few weeks ago.

Settles Claim
Out of Court
Case of Meurer VS.. Concordia Fire In
surance Company Settled on
Saturday.

The suit of Otto Meurer of Powers
Lake, against the Concordia Insurance
Company for $4,000, the face of a fire
insurance policy on his hotel which
burned several months ago, was set
tied out of court Saturday by attor-
neys of the principals in Milwaukee
A compromise agreement was reached
but the exact terms of it were not
made public. The case was scheduled
to be taken up in court this morning,
az one Of the three insurance cases to
be heard before Judge Higbee, now sit
ting for Judge Belden. The case was
marked off the court calendar this
morning clearing the way for the Pa
cini estate insurance cases.
The Meurer suit presented some in
teresting points at law. The policy in
dispute had been taken out many years
ago when the building was a cottage.
Later it was enlarged but the policy
was renewed each year as part of the
insurance carried on the building. Be
cause of the different rate for hotel
and for a cottage there was some dis
pute as to the liability of the company.
The settlement is said to have been
agreeable to all concerned.

Minnesota HarbOrs
Are Free from Ice

Duluth-Ice has practically cleared
from the local harbor and vesselmen
assert lake steamers should be able to
Superior at~any time now.
In the Duluth Sperior harbor local
navigation was officially opened on APP
ril when the freighter Peter Reiss,
preceded by tugs, broke it's way thru
the disconnected ice on the bay and
proceeded out the lake to Fort Will
liam.
Government reports indicated as
early as three weeks ago that the ice
on the Great Lakes was extremely
light, with heavy foes being noted only
in parts of Lake Michigan.
At White Fish Bay where, ship mas
ters report there is usually more or
less trouble with ice in the early sea-
son, the lake is virtually clear.
According to the government re-
ports easterly winds early in the month
filled the straits with light ice. St.
Clair river, which three weeks ago was
reported clear as far south as Marine
City, is said to be entirely clear now.
There is only light ice in Lake St.
Clair and the Detroit river, while lit
tie obstruction to lake traffic is now in
evidence in Lake Erie, vesselmen here
have been advised
The United States Steamship Inspec-
ton Office in Duluth made it's first in
spection on April 1. Deputies of the
office now have made reports on sew

tered at Duluth and Superior locks.
Preparations are being made at To-
cal coal docks for the first cargoes of
coal from eastern mines which are ex-
pected to be landed here shortly. So
far marine followers say, there has
been little activity noted in iron ore
shipping circles. Early shipments are
expected to be chiefly of grain.
The total tonnage of receipts and
shipments in the Duluth Superior har-
Dor during the 1920 season of 28S days
was 46,s0s,61S tons, valued at $751;
900,033, the annual report of the Uni
ted States Engineer Office showed.

ARREST TWO IN
ROBBERY YARN
John JOnet Claimes He Was
Robbed of $448O But
Lands in Jail.
WAS GOING TO RUSSIA

The police are making an effort to
surround the alleged theft of $4,000
from John Jonet who resides at 322
North Sheridan Road and who declared
to the police that some one had enter
ed his home on Saturday afternoon and
stolen the money. He alleged to the
officers that the money had been con-
cealed under the bed clothing Sergey
Kastik, who resides at % North Con-
gress street was arrested as a suspect
in the case and it was due to his story
that Jonet the man who claimed that
he had been robbed was taken into Gus
tody. Kastik claimed that over a thou
sand dollars of the money which had
been in the keeping Of Jonet belonged
to him. Another Russian whose name
was not given to the police told the
officers that he had poured eighteen
hundred dollars into the hopper held
by the North Sheridan Road man.
All Planning to Go Back
1t was declared that all of the peo-
pie mentioned in connection with the
case were planning to go back to Eu
rope All Of them are Russians and it
was said that Jonet and his wife who
came to see him at the police station
on Sunday had planned to leave for
New York on Tuesday. The wife de-
clared that she knew her husband had
the money in the house but that she
did not know who had taken it. Jonet
said that he bad $4480 in the roll of
bills and told the police something of
the makeup of the ROLL He did not ac-
cuse Kastik of taking the money. His
difficulty in speaking English made it
very hard for the police to get his
whole story but the best that they
could get was that a man had taken the
money and had fed from the house.
There was no mention Of gun play in
connection with the robbery. Kastik
had something over ninety dollars
when he was arrested. He was vigor-
Gus in his denial of the suggestion that
he might have been connected with the
robbery of the fellow Russian.
Not Acting as Banker.
Jonet declared that the money which
was taken belonged to him and he in
sisted that he had not acted as a bank
er for any of the men. Kastik claimed
that several of the Russians were plan
ming to go back to Russia on the same
steamer and that Jonet had the money.
Neither of the men are known to the
police records of the city~and the Of
ficials were making vigorous investi-
CATION of the story on Sunday. Jonet
insisted over and over again that the
amount taken from him had been $4480.

CHARITY GIFTS
MAKE PAUPERS
Experts in Charity Con-
tend Giving Aims Never
y Reduces Paupers.
IT IS A NEW IDEA

Chicago-Experts in charity contend
that the giving of aims never reduces
the number of paupers but on the con-
trary increases them, President Walter
Dill Scott, of Northwestern University
says in circular, just published by
the school.
individual members of our faculty
have contributed largely to reducing
the poverty and in increasing the pros
perity throughout an entire industry.
Some ten years ago one member of our
faculty became interested in labor con-
ditions in an industry that had been
infamous for its sweatshops and its
abuse and oppression of labor. In that
industry poverty reigned in the homes
and breadlines were a regular occur
renee. This professor co-operated in
producing more harmonious relations
between employer and employees, sin
raising the standards of the industry,
in lifting the burden of poverty from
hundreds of thousands of men and
women, and in making the industry eff
fcient and profitable"
Postwar Conditions.
President Scott added that there
were about 255 disabled ex-soldiers at
the university today. "In the ordinary
treatment of disabled men," he said,
1--WE might expect many of them to
develop into paupers and become OBJ
jects of charity. These 255 men are
today in training and probably every
man will leave the university as a self
supporting man and will become use
full citizen in his community.
"The appeal now being made in the
name of relief for the hungry is more
insistent and more impelling than ever
before, and, l trust that all of US have
responded most generously" he said,
"but because of this unusual postwar
condition, we are likely to eXaggerate
the Importance of the mere giving of
aims"
President Scott then told of how
walking delegate" became president of
a company.
"He was a radical and a disturber
and believed that society owed hing a
living" President Scott said. "He was
a member of the cigarmakers' union,
and after his election. as a walking
delegate entered one of the night
classes in our School of Commerce to
make himself more effective as labor
leader.
"In that class he got new concep-
ton of the relation of capital to labor
His interest increased, and he was
graduated in diploma course of the
school.
To-day he is the president of COM
pany and an employer of labor
"He' is a progressive but not radi-
CAL Instead of increasing the suffer
ing produced by the calling of strikes
and the throwing of men out of en-
ployment he is today successful bust
ness man, adding to the prosperity Of
the community in which he lives. He
is doing much to inculcate good will
between capital and labor, and thus to
make possible harmonious, effective
and prosperous community"

Eric Hagberg, MiIlwright,
Crushed to Death at the
Nash Plant.
JUMPED AFTER TOOL
While Repairing Door to Eleva-
tor, Jumps into Pit and Is
Caught Beneath Elevator.

Eric Hagberg, aged about ffty-fve
years, a millwright in the employ of
he Nash Motors company, met ter
rible death just before eleven o'clock
his morning when he was crushed
under the weight of q heavy electric
elevator when caught in the pit, into
which he had jumped to rescue one Of
MS tools. The accident occurred in the
body plant of the Nash Motors COM
pany, where Hagberg was employed
n repairing one of the heavy steel
loors to The elevator.
Fellow workmen hurried to his as
'istance after the elevator had been
aised. He was hurried to the emerg-
sncy hospital of the company and later
o the Kenosha hospital but was dead
when physicians reached him. An ex-
animation showed that his chest had
oeen crushed by the weight of the
levator cab and that he had suffered
'ther internal injuries which caus-
d his death.
Doors Were Blocked.
Hagberg, with several other work
nen, were employed on the ground
loor of the plant, in repairing the
oors of the elevator. The doors had
cen blocked while the work was going
IN and as it was all on the exterior the
elevator had been kept in operation.
1agberg had been using a measuring
'ule to map out this work and acct
lentally dropped this into the pit of
he elevator. Without looking to see
whether or not the elevator was des-
cending, he jumped into the pit after
the rule.
Fellow workmen seeing the descend
ing elevator, when it was too late,
lade frantic efforts to to stop it but
Jere unable to prevent it from des-
cending so low as to catch Hagberg
beneath it. He gave one frantic call
for help, which was muffled as he
lapsed into Inconsistencies.
Well known in KenOsha.
A post norton examination will be
deld to determine the exact cause Of
death, Preliminary examinations by
the physicians showed that the mans
chest had been crushed. Because of
this his face was badly discolored but
apparently there had been no fracture
of the skull. One of his arms was also
broken by the weight of the car.
Eric Hagberg was one of the best
known Of the Swedish people of Keno

many years and had long been an eff
Acient and capable employee of the
Nash Motors company. He is survived
by widow and several children, Mrs.

Among the Swedish people of the
city he had taken place as leader
and his death will be a great loss to
the community.
The remains were taken to the Han
sen mortuary, from which they will
later be taken to the home at Cos

Paris Plans Moving
Sidewalk for Crowd

Paris = A moving sidewalk to re-
lieve congestion, is being considered
by the city of Paris. The chances for
adoption may not be great but the
idea is being seriously discussed for
Parisians have pleasant memories of
the aerial sidewalk that was a feature
of the 1900 Wold's Exposition here.
The proposal is to build such roll
ing sidewalk under the prinipal boule-
wards, from the Madeleine to the
Place de la Republic. A pedestrian
not only would avoid dangerous, de-
laying crossings and not be impeded
by cross and counter currents of
traffic.
