NEW YORK, May 12.-Georges
Carpenter will arrive here Sunday
aboard La Savoie from Havre. ! am
very much interested in his coming.
and / suppose he will start lignt
training at least, within few days
after he lands.
Such training as a fighter can do
aboard ship is so negligible that no
doubt Georges will feel like stepping
some the first time he gets warmed
up. They tell me that the French
champion has been keeping himself
in trim. / understand he is in just
as good shape today as Jack Demp-
sey.
Carpenter is source of great in
terest to me. l have met him on
several occasions but have never
seen him in action. and / am eager
for the chance to see how he steps
around; how he puts up his hands
and what he does with them.
DELIVERED On TUES.
am told that many of Georges
best punches are delivered as he
goes up onto his toes as though
following the blow. II this is true.
II will be worth while studying for
he has proven that he possesses
Knockout punch, yet how he gets
the maximum of power into it from
such a position Is more or less OF
puzzle.
| say this because people who have
watched him in action tell me thai
his right, in particular, Is somewhat
of stiff-arm punch. put over win
arm crooked. / understand that he
| throws his shoulders and his weight
| into this punch without extending
| the arm to its full length and II
such is the case the question arises
how does he manage to deliver this
blow without the loss of speed?
There are people who refuse to
credit anything new in the line OF
punching; people who believe that
| the old methods that have prevailed
| for so many years are the only sue
cessful ones. / am not in this class.
BELIEVES HE HAS PUNCH.
place Carpenter on a 100 per
cent basis as a puncher now and my
| opinion will not change until j have
seen him in action. Whether 1t VIII
change in his favor or not remains to
| be. seen.
With a reputation as a puncher in
| his favor il must also be remem-
bered that he rs courageous. He
proved that some years ago when. as
boy of eighteen, he fought such
tough middleweights as Frank Klaus
and Billy Papke, took everything
they had. lost the decisions and re-
| fused to be discouraged.
Then, there was his battle WITH
Joe jeanette. one of the best biz
men of the last twenty years, with
whom Georges stayed fifteen round
| He is evidently no hot-house product,
this French boy, and from my i'm
pressions gathered through social
meetings with him, 1 take IT that
he is very cool, collected and
confident boxer. the kind who Is dan
| gerous as long as he is on his feet
with enough strength to put over a
| winning punch.

PEOPLE PETITION FOR
PROHI ENFORCEMENT
Superior People Send Petition Into the
State Assembly Urging Strength
ening of Prohibition Laws.

Madison, Wis.-The repeal of laws
relating to personal property offset to
income tax was provided for in two
bills introduced. in the state assembly
today. Assemblyman A. G. Hanson of
River Falls and Robert Caldwell of
Lodi are authors of the measures.
Both houses met briefly today and ad-
journed till ten o'clock tomorrow
morning. In the assembly several bills
were given their first and second read
ing and referred to the regular COM
nlittees. The Matteson bill, providing
for "bone dry" enforcement of the
prohibition laws was sent to the com
mittee on state affairs and will prob
ably be taken up later. That fears are
felt out in the state that an attempt
may be made to weaken present prohi-
bition laws, is indicated by petition
filed, urging strengthening of "dry"
laws. 1t was offered by James B.
French of Superior and was signed by
Superior residents. A bill introduced
today requesting an appropriation of
100000 to construct state building
in Milwaukee with a committee of
three, comprising Gov. Blaine and two
Milwaukeeans to supervise it's con-
struction, by a Milwaukee assembly
man.

Chinese Business
Depression Passing
Business in Shanghai Picking Up a
Little but Silk Market Is
Unsettled.

Shanghai - To tide over the effects
Of the depression il the silk market.
the Shanghai Silk and Cocoon Guild
has sent an appeal for aid to the
Picking government. Due to the dull
market more than 10000 silk workers
were idle this month and 20 filatures
in Shanghai had been closed.
Customs returns here show that
1862 bales of silk were exported from
June 1 to Nov. 10, against 1917 bales
for the same period in 1919. More
than 10000 bales were held in godowns
(warehouses) of Chinese and foreign
exporters. In this period the price
of first-class filiature silk fell from
$1,12O per bale to $3.50 odd with no
buyers in the market.
The appeal to the government from
Shanghai was based on action taken
at Toxic in helping Japanese producers.

EMERY is NAMED
FOR STATE BOARD
Veteran of TT is Named as Head Of
the State Food and Dairy Com
mission . This Morning.
by Associated Pressl

Madison, Wis.-Two appointments
were sent to the Senate today by Gov.
Blaine for confirmation. J. Q. Emery
of Albion, was named as dairy and
food commissioner to succeed George
]. Weigle of Milwaukee, and Miss Maud
Neprud of Viroqua was renamed for
her position on the board of control.
Both nominations are expected to be
confirmed by the upper house this
week. There has been some talk of a
verbal battle over acceptance of the
appointment of Mr.. Emery because Of
his age. He was n years old this past
September. Miss Neprud who was re-
appointed to the Board of Control, was
selected for the position when the
board was recognized two years ago.
She is a graduate of the University
Of Wisconsin in the class of 1914 and
is 80 years old.

Mystery Call
Annoys Coroner
Coroner Parker is Kept Busy on Mon
day Evening Investigating False
Death Report.

Just after five O'clock Monday after
noon, Coroner Parker was called by
telephone and given strange mes
sage, the meaning of which he is still
trying to decipher.
"Do you investigate deaths ?" came
from the other end Of the wire.
Coroner Parker was at not his Office
at the time, but his secretary answer
ed the call and said that it was the
business of the coroner to investigate
all deaths of a sudden or strange
nature.
''Then call at 26O Ridge street as
soon as possible" came the order from
the other end of the wire.
Coroner Parker was quickly sum-
moned and started on his search. He
discovered that there was a 260 North
Ridge street and 260 South Ridge
street. He went to both places but
found the people living there ignorant
of any death or of any telephone call.
Coroner Parker also called all Of the
undertakers' Offices in the city but
found no solution for the riddle.
He is now Of the opinion that some
one telephoned in false report merely
to annoy him. He recalled this morn
ing that there was a provision in the
state laws defining such act as a mis-
demeanor and providing for heavy
fine in the event a person was proven
guilty of maliciously giving false in
formation to public official.

to the place before because they show
ed familiarity with the road leading
up to the house. The three were
placed under arrest and their car held.
1t will be turned over to the federal
authorities as an automobile used in
transporting illicit.
Dubba's nemesis proved to be a
farmer to whom he had sold some
moonshine. According to the tip given
Scholey, the farmer had traded two
cows during the past few months and
had taken their value out in moon
shine. Then the farmers wife got
angry and demanded milk inytead Of
moonshine, and in an effort to pacify
the angry farmwife, the farmer went
to Dubba and demanded one of the
cows back. Dubba refused and then
the farmer in order to square himself
with his wife, sought Scholey and told
his tale of woe. The raid then fol-
lowed.
Jew Sold Him Still.
Budda told the News representative
that he had purchased the still from a
Chicago Jew for the sum of $45. This
story Of Dubba's however is to be
taken with grain of salt as the "cop-
per" itself was of pure copper and
weighed not less than so pounds. Then
all the pipes and appurtenances were
of copper which runs the cost up to
over three times what Dubba stated
he paid for it, The still was loaded
in the car with the three men and
escorted by Scholey and a deputy and
accompanied by the taxi with the rest
of the deputies and evidence drove to
the municipal court.
The first moonshine raid of the after
noon was made on Martin Groski,
South Sheridan road, where q half
gallon of moonshine and still in
galvanized bucket was found. The
still was a small one and showed that
it had not been used for some time.
When the raiders entered the house,
one of the fellows in the room at
tempted to hide demijohn of moon
shine under his coat. He was told to
hand over the goods, but when ques-
toned showed complete ignorance of
the English language and the con-
tainer had to be taken from him. A
search of the premises showed that
some moonshine had been made in the
attic, because rotten mash was found.
The lady of the house stated that she
did not manufacture moonshine and
that the supply that they had had
been purchased from saloon in that
neighborhood. They were told to ap-
pear in court however.
The second moonshine raid was also
on South Sheridan road, the fourth
house south Of the Maple Inn, where
one Martin Renick lives. A thorough
search of the premises of Renick dis
closed no damaging evidence other
than dozen empty bottles that had
once contained "near beer" The two
sons of Renick were closely examined
and it was pretty clearly brought out
that the constable" had been given
poor tip.

BRISTOL RECORD
SHATTERED ONE
Lone Prohibition Town in
County Loses Out in
Raid Today.
MORE RAIDS PROMISED

This is the story Of the shame
of Bristol.
For forty years Bristol has been
known as the most consistent prohibi-
ton town in Kenosha county. It has
prided itself on the fact that it never
had saloon and that most of it's
people did not dribble over into other
towns surrounding it and partake of
the oil of gladness.
This morning John Scholey, crusader
and state prohibition enforcement Of
ticer, brought evidence that Bristol had
broken it's record when he raided the
home of Stanley Paverich, on the Will
mot road, just over the Bristol line
and brought into Kenosha one per-
fectly good still, which appeared to be
in working order and quantity of
mash and alleged moonshine liquor.
Paverich was ordered to be in the
municipal court for hearing on We'd
nesday afternoon at two o'clock when
he will be charged with making the
moonshine.
palu never Sold Drop.
Payerich told the prohibition Of
fcials that he had not broken the
record of the town Of Brisotl and as
serted that he had never sold drop
of the liquor and that it had been
made entirely for his own use. He
admitted that he had made consider
able of the moonshine.
Town lines were wiped out by
Scholey this morning and he jumped
from Bristol into Paris and armed with
search warrant he entered the home
of John Niewerowski in the town of
Paris. He found small quantity of
liquor in the house but made no ar
rests. The man admitted that there
had been still at the house some
time ago but declared that it had be-
longed to a man who had lived at the
house and that the still along with
nine barrels of the moonshine had
been removed to North Chicago some
time ago. The prohibition enforcement
officer at once notified Prohibition Com
missioner Frank D. Richardson of the
facts in this case.
Scholey promised more raids before
the day was over and he had whole
sheaf of search warrants which he
had secured to aid him in his work.
In the personal staff of the crusader
today was Albert Brankow, former
motorcycle deputy, and Ralph Moore,
constable of the second ward. Scholey
declared that he was not spending any
time worrying over fees just at present
but that he was out looking for viola
lions of the law. He declared that the
question of fees would be taken up
after he had complete his work.
1t was said that Scholey had long
list of places in the city and county
which had been clipped" off to him as
places where liquor was being made.
eve are going to raid them all and
not pay any attention to the promin-
ence of the people named" declared
the crusader as he hit the trail for the
country just before noon today.
