The brother described his "opinion"
Of how Samuel might have died.
Someone might have tied his hands"
Hugh said, and might have" fixed the
rope around his neck and Samuel
"might have" stood upon stool and
then accidentally kicked it out from
under him.
No stool was found in the closet but
Newmark said he overheard woman

Bus Company snakes Hollcr."
The Boulevard Transportation COM
pany, which has been operating mo-
tor bus between Milwaukee and Keno
sha, sent it's representative, Mr.. Woos-
ter, to appear before the council and
complain because of the fact that the
chief of police has given orders for
bidding their cars to halt at the corner
of Wisconsin and Main streets for any
considerable length of time. In pre-
senting his complaint, Mr.. Wooster ex-
planned that the plans of his company
were for the establishment of "track-
less trolley" line between Chicago and
Milwaukee and that ears would be run
ming through Kenosha both from the
north and the south in the near future.
He painted a great future for the bust
ness and urged the city not to put any
straw in it's way.
In replying to him, Mayor Joachim
pointed out that the company has no
station here and that it should not eX-
pect to halt its cars at point where
they would interfere with the business
of Kenosha hotel. No action was
taken regarding the complaint.
May Order New Walks.
Steps were taken by the councilmen
to advertise for bids for new sidewalks
on Main street as the notices already
sent to the property owners have failed
to produce action in the majority of
cases. It is hoped that the work will
be completed within a reasonable
length of time and the city engineer
was instructed to be in readiness to go
ahead with the work.
A motion was unanimously passed
establishing the Kenosha Evening News
as the official paper of Kenosha ard
official notices will be published in it
Immediately.

THREE WOMEN
ON FIRST JURY
Case of Roy Warburton on
Charge Of Non-Support
First on List.
PLAINTIFF BUSINESSES

Three women-Carrie Flasch, Ella
DeCoyst and Anna Findlay-were Sc
lected as jurors on Monday afternoon
and were the first lady jurors to sit on
any case in the state of Wisconsin.
These women attended the opening adj
dresses given in the morning and were
especially glad to take on the RESPONSE
bilities of their full citizenship in the
United States. Several women were
questioned as to their competency to
serve as jurors but were dismissed
when they stated that they had home
duties or other obstacles in the way
that prevented them from serving. The
three above mentioned women signifed
their intention of serving and were
passed by attorneys for both the de-
tense and the prosecution.
On Non-SuppOrt Case.
The case which was to be tried was
brought by the former wife Of Roy
Warburton, but was dismissed, after
the jury had been empaneled when the
former wife stated that she did not
want to press the charge against her
former husband, as she was happily re-
married and was living in Milwaukee
with her present husband. The court
then dismissed the case of Warburton.
owe did not get a chance to render
a verdict for or against, but it would
have been rendered impartially," one of
the three ladies stated. Sand if I can
help the wheels of justice turn little
faster in the county, am always ready
to be called" she continued. It was
evident that the women were aware of
the gravity Of their duties as jurors.

MORNING BLAZE
ROJTSSI'UDENTS
Kenosha Students at Madi-
son Driven from Beds
By Big Fire.
CLOTHES ARE RUINED

Routed from their beds by an early
morning fire which destroyed most of
their clothing, was the experience of
Hobart Hoye and John Herzog Jr., two
Kenosha young men, who are attending
the University of Wisconsin at Madi-
son, according to reports received here
from the capitol city this morning. The
rooming house where the young men
stay, located at 9191 West, Dayton
street in that city, caught fire early
Monday morning and damage estimated
at 5000 was done before the flames
were extinguished.
The Kenoshans' rooms were in the
worst part of the fire and they were
routed from their beds by the fremen.
Much of their clothing was ruined by
smoke and by the chemicals used by
flames.
Letter Expains Predicament.
The rather embarrassing predicament
of the Kenoshans was explained in a
letter received from young Hoye this
morning. "Buck Herzog saved his best
girls picture and pair of socks and
got both my English themes and a
bathrobe out of the flames" according
to the letter. Their other clothing,
while not burned to ashes, was badly
damaged by the smoke and chemicals.
There were several other students
rooming in the house but these two
were the only ones from Kenosha:
With the assistance of friends the
Kenoshans managed to fit out an i'm
promptu wardrobe and attended their
classes at the university as usual on
Monday despite the early morning
blaze.

SENATOR REED
ATTACKS TAX BILL
Declares Majority Have Formed Con-
spiracy of Silence to Secure the
Passage of 1t.
az Associated preaa Leased wirel

tBy Associated Press Leased Wirel
Washington.-Action of the budget
bureau IN cutting down congressional
appropriations for the federal depart
ments as a part of the plan to reduce
taxes, was denounced in the senate to-
day by Senator Reed, Democrat, Mis-
souri,, "as an impudent assertion of the
right to set aside the action of the
legislative body"
L denounce this action as Illegal, y
he declared. 'I denounce it as a def
ance of the power of congress as
cert that if allowed to proceed, con-
gress has forfeited the greatest right
of legislative body, namely, the right
to say how much shall be spent and
when and where it shall be spent. If
carried to its logical conclusion, the
army could be dismissed, the navy
Junked and the operations of the gov
eminent ended. For such action inn
peachments should be had"
Senator Reed declared that the spon-
sors of the tax revision bill had
dropped it like an illegitimate baby
on the public doorstep and run away
without having the grace even to at
tach to its skirt the usual legend
Please be kind to the baby"
Referring to promises that the meas
ure would be one of the utmost SIM
plicity, Senator Reed said it was SO
simple that members of the finance
committee had needed the services of
five treasury experts to "guide them
along its crooked way" and that four
experts had to be kept continuously in
the senate so that the committee mem
bers explaining the bill would not ego
astray."

USE GREENBACKS
INSTEAD OF GOLD
Kenoshan in Czecho-SlOva-
kia, Finds Interesting
Situation.
REPORTS PROSPERITY

United States treasury notes are
more acceptable in CzechoSlovakia and
other European countries than gold and
silver.
This is one of the interesting facts
brought back to Kenosha by John
Hams, 563 Lake avenue, who has re-
Gently returned from a three-months
visit with his father in the town Of
Stara Lubovna, not far from Prague, in
the new republic of Czecho-Slovakia.
When he left America in June, he
carried with him some money in United
States gold and silver money and some
other money in United States currency.
He was surprised to find when he
reach his native land that there. was
much less discount on the American
greenbacks than on the actual cash.
Take Them For Cash Value.
The treasury notes were accepted by
the banks Of that country at their face
value while a discount ranging all the
way from twenty to thirty per cent was
asked when the Kenoshan changed his
American money over into Czecho-Slo-
vanian currency. He declared that the
banks in that country insisted that
American notes were "as good as gold'
and that there was less expense incurr-
ed in changing them over into the cur
rency of that country.
The statements made by the Kenosha
man reveals a rather interesting situa-
ton which is existing in the foreign
exchange market.
No BOEshevism There.
The Kenoshan declares that he has
found a marked difference in his ma
tive land since it has been turned into
democracy instead of being a part
of the Austrian empire as it was IN
pre-war days.
"The country is entirely changed"
he declared. "They have rapidly TAX
en- on democratic ways and it does not
seem to be the same nation. An Amer
lean has great prestige there, too, for
all Of the officials of the country are
anxious to hear about the democratic
forms of city and national government
in America"
He emphasized the fact that despite
the change to democratic forms of gov
eminent, there has been no suggestion
Of bolshevism or anarchy in that coun-
try and that they have emerged from
war days into one of the most prosper
Gus times in it's history.
Cheap Prices at Hotels.
"There is no starving in that coun-
try" declared the traveller. 81 got a
first class chicken dinner in Prague
for twenty-four cents in United States
money and that does not mean that
they are short of money there either
Prices in that country are far more
reasonable than they are in this coun-
try. I bought tailormade suit for $11
and in this country I would pay $50 for
the same kind of suit"
He said that the prosperity of the
country was reflected in the fact that
the trains were packed showing that
the people of all classes have money to
travel from one part of the country to
the other. Mr.. Hams left Kenosha for
his native land in June and returned
to this country on last Wednesday. His
story has proven a most interesting
one to his countrymen.
