EDWARD THTELAN
VICTIM OF MURDER
Body Found in Miracle Creek Identi-
fed as That of Man Who Lived
Near Racine.
By Associated Press Leased Wire

Milwaukee, Wis. A Milwaukee
Journal special from Palmyra, Wis,
says that the victim Of the Miracle
Greek murder. near here about the mid
die of December last, is believed to be
Edward Thielan whose home was on
Rural Route No. out of Racine. A
picture of the slain man was identified
by truck driver.
Thielan had worked for George
Taft a farmer, at East Troy, about 25
miles from the creek where the body
was found in the icy water.
The picture was carried by man
in Palmyra. He showed it to the truck
driver, who is said positively to have
identified it as the man who worked
for Taft at East Troy. Taft was call
ed and declared that Thielan had left
his farm before the murder and had
said he was going to his home in Ra-
cine.
"Thielan drove an automobile that
belonged to him and had large sum
of money" Mr.. Taft said. 81 did not
connect him with the murder at the
time, since l was sure he had gone to
Racine"
Thielans mother wrote to Mr.. Taft
few days ago and asked where she
could locate her son. Taft told the
mother he had left the farm to go to
Racine.
"My son did not write very fire.
quently, but l got very worried few
IA 81
Troy" Mrs. Thielan said. "The letter
came back unanswered and | then
wrote to the man for whom knew he
worked He told me that Edward had
started home December 16."
Mrs. Thielan went to Palmyra yes
terday and it is said identified her
son from the description residents
gave her, as the man who was muir
dered
Authorities were unwilling to give
out much information concerning the
man who they say is under surveillance,
but it was learned he was at one time
friend of Thielan's and worked on
farm near East Troy. He is thought
to have met Thielan and driven with
him into the country and murdered
him for his car, money and clothes.
Residents of East Troy say the
man is believed to have committed the
deed and that he returned to East Troy
dressed in the lads clothes, driving
the automobile. He disappeared from
the farm where he worked shortly af-
ter this but was not suspected then
because it was not known that THE
Ian was dead and they were known to
be friends. 1t was not unusual for
this man to drive Thielan's car.
Observation-Disclosures Attorney Ray
Twining of jefferson county today
wired the chief of police of an Ohio
city to arrest Fred Mcbride and hold
him in connection with the murder.
Mcbride was pal Of Thielen's but
said to be a rival for the hand of a
girl who lives near East Troy. Both
of the men worked on farms owned by
George Taft, between East Troy and
Elkhorn, Walworth county, about 25
miles from the creek where the body
was found.

Mrs. M. Sanger

Toxic instruction of the Japanese
foreign office to the japanese consulate
in San Francisco that it refuse to wise
thte passport of Mrs. Margaret Sanger

on the ground that propaganda along
the lines, it was understood she pro-
posed, was illegal in Japan and an i'm

The foreign Offices action, however, an

Mrs. Sanger would be denied admission

she undoubtedly would receive permits

dition that she would not attempt

HIS MOON FUNNY KIM
Prohibition Enforcement Off.
Gals Would Agree to It's
HarmIessness.

Now that Secretary Emil F. Meissne
ever since November 80, 1921, is out Q,
running so far as police sponge squar
work is concerned, Captain Emil Clau
sen has set up a claim of being oficia
smeller of the department. Whic
Emil has the better qualifications TO
that title, let the reader judge, remem
bering that the former carried posses
sion of the silver cup unchallenged TO
many months.
1t was at 352 Grand avenue and tn
night was Saturday and the hour wa
ing of Captain Clausen, Detective Sgt
Rock, Detective McCluskey and Office
William Schmitt, set forth. But the
carried with them a reserve corps cor
sisting of Sergeant Melbusch and Off
GERS Chase and Van der Wahl.
Biggest Raid Line-Up Yet.
Those who saw the seven brave
leave the police Office expected the
there would be something doing an
that they would bring home the bacor
which they did. A three-gallon jug
moonshine was discovered in the allie
back of the saloon at 352 Grand ave
niue, and proudly carrying the evidenc,
the squad returned.
Captain Clausen said it was moo
and he knew. He smelled of the ju.
! and said it was moon, and he is tn
official smeller of the department
When the squad returned to the polio,
station, the captain was challenged b.
one of the officers, not on the squad
who offered to "bet anything" that
they had not brought moonshine.
Captain Won't Bet.
The police captain doesn't believe in
gambling in any form and wouldn't
make even a bet on the proposition,
but he stoutly maintained that it was
moonshine and moonshine only that
the crew had brought.
"Just wait until you see it burn" he
remarked confidently. A little moon
shine was poured on the floor and a
lighted match was applied by the Off
| Ger. But the match went out.
you're not doing it right" said the
captain. He in turn struck match
and applied it to the rim of the floating
liquor. And his match went out.
"That's funny" said Clausen.
s<Not funny at ALL" returned the
aforesaid police officer. 81 never yet
saw water that would burn"
1t was water and the police captain
finally admitted it, but not for a good
while. Applications for official smelleI
on the department are now in order.
Two Raids Successful.
Detectives Breidt and McCluskey and
Officer Schmitt assisted by Sgt. Kirsch
Of the new squad made two raids Sat
urday night which brought in the
goods. The first was made on the
Northwestern hotel at 8:48 p. m. when
the officers found a large shell beer
| glass full of moonshine on the work
bench in the rear of the bar room.
The second raid was made on the
premises of Eric Herth at 818 Newell
street, where moonshine was found OIL
top of the bar, here also in large
she'll beerglass. Both the Northwest
ern hotel and the Herth places are
operated under a permit and have ap-
| peared in police raids many times.
