 "Poor Abel" Harry whispered as he looked down at him. "He has had to die on the cross"
 To most of those others Lincoln was the great statesman. To Harry he was the beloved Abe who had shared his fare and hls hardships in many a long, weary way.

 Secretary Stanton, who more than once had spoken lightly of him, came to the bedside and tenderly closed the eyes of his master, saying:

HOW LAKE BUEL WAS
 NAMED BACK IN 1872
Continued from page 1)

Continued from page 1) She then despaired of rising more, Or ever getting back to shore, But thought her soul must shortly go To endless happiness or woe. As death approached, this youth so
 near,
 The Lord prevented her despair, Who knew her exercise of mind, And sent helping hand so kind. As Buel then was swimming by, This worthy object struck his eye, He plunged his hand down, clasped
 her hair
 And snatched her from her trouble
 there.
 He held her off while in his hand, And swam upon his back to land, His mother stood upon the beach, And stretched her arms this youth
 to reach.
 Who filled with water wrecked with
 pain,
 Was emptied and revived again, And was again to health restored, Oh may she live to serve the Lord. And spend the remnant of her days In her Redeemer's worthy praise, And never sinking waves of woe, But raise his heavenly bliss to know. Young Buel had no time to rest, Humanity inspired his breast, He then renewed his voyage again, And swan unto the boat amain. iM His sister saw her brother come, Her fading hopes began to bloom, She then assumed the right of plea, Come oh my brother, now, take me. Benevolence he then disclosed, To save another more exposed, In wisdom he displayed the man, And instantly devised the plan. Then swan with Cynthia round the
 boat, Lock hands with Abigail to float, Across the wreck they hung in pain. While he with Betsey swan amain. But oh, alas, to his surprise, While in his hands she gasped and
 dies, He took her lovely corpse to shore, But Betsey's soul returned no more. No medical power nor art of. men Could ere restore her life again, She's gone alas forever gone, And left her friends to sigh and
 mourn.
 Again this genius he displayed, And swan. unto the others aid, Now Tracy, who had swan to land Returned to lend helping hand. The boat he steadied at the stern, While Buel at the helm we learn, Espied little chain or rope, With which he swam and tow'd the
 boat.
 And when he'd gained the length of
 chain,
 He trod the water and pulled again, By acting these maneuvers OCT At length he got the boat to shore. Here Betsey's lost remains appear, And strangled Lucy's sighs were
 heard,
 Cynthia and Abigail distressed, And every heart by grief oppressed Young Buel much exhausted was, Yet worthy of our high applause, Let endless praise to God be given, That four were saved out of the
 seven.
 Let the Redeemer's name be sung, By every youthful charming tongue, And let the aged do the same,

NIELS KNUDSEN
is NEAR DEATH
Magazine Solicitor is Found in His
Room This Afternoon With Feet
and Arms Frozen.

Niels Knudsen, an aged book and
magazine agent of 73 years, was found
in bed at his home at 306 Fremont ave-
nue. about one o'clock this afternoon,
partially frozen. The elderly man had
a cut over one eye from which blood
flowed freely.
Detectives McCluskey and officer
McGivern, who answered police call
for the ambulance, found Knudsen in
bed with all his clothes on and his feet,
legs, arms and hands frozen. He was
hurried to the Kenosha hospital where
DR.. McCluskey attended the victim, and
had cut off the shoes of the old man
which were found frozen to the flesh
Knudsen has reputation as good
and kindly old man, but it is believed
by the officials that he was victim
Of moonshine, and went to bed in
stupor where the bitter cold of the last
two days sent him into the slumber
of exhaustion. Knudsen was conscious
at the hospital this afternoon where he
told the physician in attendance that
he believed he had been two days in
bed. He indicated that it was illness
which caused his condition. Little
hope of the aged mans recovery was
held out by hospital authorities.

HOUSE OF CORRECTION
FOR STANLEY SIJBACZ
Two Persons Sentenced by Judge
BeldeR This Afternoon - Anton
Krebs Gets Jail Term.

The House of Correction was made
use of for the first time by Judge
Belden at two o'clock this afternoon
when he sentenced Stanley Subacz to
the Milwaukee institution for a period
Of six months, and fined him $500.
Anton Krebs was sentenced to the
county jail for sixty days, and in ad-
dition fined $500. Judgement was
passed on the two defendants, both of
whom had pleaded guilty to the charge
of illegal sale of intoxicating liquor,
just as court opened this afternoon,
following which the court proceeded
with the drawing of jury in the
Meyer case.
Stanley Subacz was charged on grand
jury Indictment with illegal liquor
sales on two counts, to both of which
he pleaded guilty. He was represented
in court today by Attorney R. V. Baker
who urged clemency on the grounds
that Subacz had little intelligence and
that he had had much domestic trou-
BILE. The court, however, handed out
two packages" in the, form of the
stiffest sentence given so far. Subacz
in police circles has been reckoned
one of the most persistent offenders in
the illegal selling of moonshine, and
the sentence was received with an ex-
preston of relief on the part of
the officials.
Subacz was ordered to pay fine of
$3.50 on count one of the indictment
with the provision that he was to be
imprisoned in the House of Correction
until such fine is paid, for period
not exceeding six months. In addition
he was sentenced to confinement at
hard labor in the House of Correction.
for period of three months. The
sentence in the second count was iden-
teal, making total of $500 fine and
six months imprisonment. I'm case
Subacz does not pay his fine, he may
be subject to an eighteen months
Imprisonment.
Clemency for Anton Krebs was urg-
ed by Attorney George w. Taylor,
who stated that the defendant was
a man of family and gooG reputation
in the community and that he had
been engaged in retail sale of liquor
for only a short time. Krebs on
count one was fined $3.50 and costs,
with the provision that he should be
imprisoned in the county Jail until the
fine were paid for period not ex-
ceeding six months. In addition he
was sentenced to confinement at hard
labor in the county jail for thirty
days. The judgment on the second
count was similar, making total of
sixty days in Jail and $3.50 fine and
costs.
The owner of the premises at 433
Middle street, where Krebs was found
guilty of illegal sale, was ordered to
give bonds of $4,000 to the end that
the place would not be used again for
illegal purposes, and permanent in
junction was issued against the prem
ises, against their being used for IL
legal purposes.

THE ELECTION IN FIGURES

The people of Kenosha have spoken!
The aldermanic form of government
for Kenosha was cast into the discard
and the city-manager plan adopted in
the special election held on TUESDAY
when the proposal providing for the
change was adopted by a majority of
872 votes, the total vote being 3,770
for the change and 1888 against it.
The majority rolled up by the pro-
ponents of the new form of govern
ment for the city of Kenogha far ex-
ceeded even the predictions of its
staunchest supporters and left no
doubt about the choice which the vot-
ers of the city mad made.
The total number of votes cast on
this question was 6,668, the largest
number of votes ever cast in special
election in the city, showing the great
interest which was aroused in the
question at the eleventh hour.
Jitneys Lose by Large Vote.

pie in the referendum election to de-
eide whether or not the jitneys would
be allowed to operate on the streets of

ANSWERS:

er-Sure | would, if the price and quail
ity suited me. In these days Of tight
money you got to take what you can
get at the best price you can get it.
If American goods cost more than
German goods I'll buy German goods.
W. Winney, 700 Newell street, tester
Why should anyone buy foreign
goods, when American factories aren't
working at all? If all the American
factories were working and could not
keep up with the demand for goods, it
would be all right to look elsewhere
to fill in. But you can't do that to-
day.
Miss Alfredo Peterson, 367 N. w.
Main street, clerk-That is one reason
why factories in the United States
aren't working 100 per cent, because
people still insist on buying German
made goods in preference to "Made in
America" goods. The conditions I'M

back to normal then they can look out
for Germany, but not until then.
Bob Westlake, 518 Rowland avenue,

anything that this country can't pro-
duce that must be brought in from

City Manager
To Allow Jitneys

Kenosha was lost by an overwhelming
vote in which 4,256 votes were cast
against the jitney proposal while only
2,415 were mustered in favor of II, Civ
ing a majority Of 1871 against the
plan. On the south and west sides of
the city, where transportation is a
burning question" the people rose by
great majorities and demanded that
the streets be closed to the jitneys.
The jitney won in only one ward-the
Ninth-and there by slender major
ity.
Was Sweeping Victory.
The sweeping victory scored by the
city manager form of government came
as surprise throughout the city.
Prior to the election few had dared
to make predictions regarding the out
come but the general opinion had been
that the project would be lost.
The first returns came in from the
northern part of the city, where the
seventh and eighth wards rolled up
fairly large majorities against the
measure. These were cut down to
slender margin by the western and
central sections of the city when the
second and third wards, representing
the south and western sections Of Ke-
nosha came in with staggering majors

Agricultural Conference Hears from

Washington, D. C. = American agri-
culture as a whole "could profitably
study the factors that have contribut-
ed to welfare of California in the face
of general business depressions," G.
Harold Powell, general manager of
the California Fruit Growers Ex-
change declared today before the ma
tion agricultural conference. He said
success of cooperative marketing de-
pended "on the will of the farmer to
cooperate" and on the development
of "a spirit of mutual confidence and
trust" between those engaging in the
venture.
Cooperative organizations, he said,
should be composed exclusively of
farmers and managed by farmers with

contract or agreement between it and

terms should extend over long periods

gested, might increse its usefulness.
ain the California Fruit Growers
Exchange, for example," said Mr.. Pow
ell, through which ten thousand, five
hundred members sell nearly one hun
dred million dollars worth of citrus
fruits annually to the wholesale trade,
the growers have formed more than
two hundred local associations, each
owning its own packing house and
managing it's local affairs.
'fMost of the California growers re-
ceived prices for their fruit crops in
1921 that returned more than the cost
of production. Not only have these
products returned the cost of produc-
ton to the producers but the trade
also has made fair profits. And the
steadily sustained demand by consum-
ers for California fruits is an evil
dence of the power of continuous
friendly advertising coupled with sound
merchandising methods in promoting
a larger consumption of farm pro-
ducts.

MEYER ALONE IN
BRIBERY TRIAL
Joint Trial of Ritter and
Meyer Postponed-Oth
er Case Called.

Fine Met by Woman, But Not
by Husband, Who with Mill
ager, Is in Custody.

The trial of Joseph Meyer, former
sheriff, on an indictment of four counts
charging bribery, began in the circuit
court his morning, following the re-
turn of verdict in the Grotsy and
Ruppa case. The trial of Meyer and
Ritter had been set for this morning,
but on account of a misunderstanding,
the state was not ready for trial in
this case. After some discussion, it
was decided that the trial on the in
dictment- on which Meyer and Ritter
are jointly charged with bribery, would
be postponed.
Meyer Alone in This Indictment.
Of the several indictments against
the former sheriff and undersheriff, it
was agreed to go to trial in the one
in which Meyer is charged singly as a
receiver of brides. The indictment
charges the former county official with
having on four occasions received
brides of fifty dollars from Louis
Schrayer former innkeeper at Trues-
dell, with the intention that his,
Meyers official acts would be influ-
enced for the protection of Schrayer
in the, running of certain gambling
games and devices, the total sum
amounting to two hundred dollars.
II Both Meyer and Ritter were present
this morning. and appeared before the
court, but as the latter found that he
Was not to be tried until later, he
withdrew.
Special Prosecutor Mortimer Walker
was in charge of the prosecution, with
District Attorney Symmonds assisting,
and two attorneys from Chicago repre-
scented the defense in the persons of
F. R. Case and D. l.. Sullivan. The
morning was spent in examination
of the jurors in order to secure a
jury for the case.
Mrs. MiIkowitz Pays Fine.
Mrs. ,Mollie Milkowitz who was fined
$500 and costs Tuesday afternoon for
illegal sale of liquor on one count, paid
her fine early Tuesday evening and was
released from the custody of the
sheriff. Her husband, Morris Mil
kowitz, who was sentenced to ninety
days at hard labor in the county Jail,
commenced the serving of his sentence
Tuesday afternoon In addition, Mil
kowitz was fined $500 and costs, or i'm
prisonment in the county Jail until he
paid his fine, such imprisonment not to
exceed six months. Up until noon to-
day Milkowitz had not paid his fine.
Milkowitz declared in court Tuesday
afternoon after he was sentenced by
Judge Belden that he had no money.
He is alleged, however, to have made
a small fortune in the wholesale traf-
fc in whiskey and is reputed to be
worth $4,000.
Herbert Millager, who was fined
$1,000 for illegal sale Of liquor at Cen
trail Park after pleading guilty to the
indictment on three counts, has not
yet paid his fine. The judgment of
the court included the provision that
Millager was sentenced to the county
Jail until the fine was paid, for
period not exceeding six months on
each count. In case the fine were not
paid this would mean a total of
eighteen months. Millager~has been
given Jail liberties, but is still in the
custody of the sheriff.

GrOtsky Found Guilty on
One Count and Ruppa on
Unlawful Sale.
NO LONGER IMMUNE
Jury of Seven Women and Five
Men Deliberate Eight Hours
Before Reaching Verdict.

Samuel Grotsky, who has sometimes
been surnamed "The Immune" proved
not quite so immune by the return of
a verdict in the case of the state vs..
Grotsky and Ruppa, which found him
guilty on the first count charging un-
lawful sale of liquor. There were two
counts against the two men, charging
them jointly with unlawful sale, and
the verdict as returned was compro-
missing one, finding Grotsky guilty on
one count and Ruppa guilty on the
other.
Jury Out Eight Hours.
The jury deliberated long upon the
case, which went to them at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. They were in ses-
sion up until II O'Clock last night, with
the SEVEN women and five men in earn
est debate, interrupted only by the in
terval of supper. At 10 o'clock the
jury was asked by Deputy Sheriff Keul,
who with Deputy Sheriff Margaret
Tully, was in charge, if they didn't
want to retire for the night and com
mence their deliberations again in the
morning. One of the women replied
that she would not quit until she could
60 to her own home.
Declaring that they were rapidly
nearing an agreement the jury decided
to continue and within an hour had
brought their consideration of the case
to a close. A sealed verdict was re-
turned, which was opened by the court
this morning.
Verdict No Surprise.
Of the three counts of the original
Indictment, count two had been quashed
and the jury returned a verdict on
counts one and three. The jury found
Sam Grotsky guilty on count one, and
Joseph Ruppa not guilty on count one;
Ruppa guilty on count three, and Grot-
SIX not guilty on that count No sur
prise was expressed over the verdict
and it was accepted as a fair one, ac-
cording to comments made.
Sentence was deferred in The case,
but it is expected that Judge Belden,
when sentence is pronounced. will, fol-
lowing the precedent set by him in
other cases, issue an injunction against
the saloon at 557 Newell street, re-
straining the owner from permitting
the premises to be used again for lille
gal purposes.
This brings near to close the his
tory of the Grotsky and Ruppa saloon.
he running of the premises has
caused many an argument among the
citizens of the neighborhood and on
the floor of the common council. At
one time citizens in the neighborhood
drew up petition to which there were
some 500 signers, asked that the permit
Of Grotsky and Ruppa be revoked on
the grounds that the place was pubic
nuisance, that it was near a church,
and that persons had been seen com
.ng from there drunk on Sunday morn
ing. The council ordered Grotsky and
Ruppa to show cause at the next meet
ing, Grotsky and Ruppa appeared but
no hearing was held, In the meantime
another petition had been circulated
by another faction and when the coun-
ell met again, the second petition to
which there were more than 500 sign
ers asking that the license be not re-
voked, was given preference and moth
ing was done further.
