PROMOTER HAD
OPERATED HERE
One of Chicago's ''Ponzis"
Fleeced Ken0shans of
4
Thousands.
OLD DEAL RECALLED
Leslie Harrington Is Believed
to Be Man Who Sold Uni
versal Wheel Stock Here.

Kenosha today took new interest
in the investigation of the operations
of Louis j. Bischoff, Chicago's 'get-
rich-quick" wizard who is alleged to
have swindled small investors out of
millions, when it became learned that
one of his aides, Leslie Harrington,
had once operated in Kenosha, at
which time thousands of dollars were
invested here in a promotion of the
Universal Wheel company, a corpora
ton which got little beyond the promo
ton stage. Through pictures publish
ed in the papers, several Kenoshans
who were fleeced in the deal ten years
ago, identified Leslie Harrington as
the L. Harrington, who operated here
and who apparently was the only per-
son who ever benefited from the
purchase cf stock in the company which
he promoted.
Remember Him Well.
: "That certainly is the man." said
one Kenoshan, who admitted that he
had been one of the victims of the deal
staged here years ago. about ten
years ago he came to Kenosha and in
teresteG score of small investors
here in a company known as the Uni
versal Wheel Company They bought
a site at Fe. Wayifs, indiana, and sold
lots q stock He, came to Kenosha in
true u Rufus Wallingford style; he
wore a long frock coat, stayed at the
hest hotels here and in Chicago and
breezed into the city in large twin
six touring car. When it was too late
we found out that the stock was hard
ly worth the paper it was written
upon; an attempt was made to reor
ganize the company after he was GUST
ed BUT this never benefited the stock
holders any.
II was declared that more than $12,
900 worth of Kenosha money was in
vested in this proposition which Har-
rington advanced here and which like
his other "investments" appear to
have been worthless. The scheme of
his which is now being investigated
in Chicago is that of selling stock in
a paving company.
Certainly Writes "Finis".
All Kenoshans who could be found
who were interested in the wheel COM
pany were positive that the Harring
ton under arrest is the same man who
operated in Kenosha. Some of these
investors have cherished hopes through
the years that the stock which they
purchased might sometime acquire a
real value but the discovery that the
Chicago "Ponzi" was connected with
the man who backed these transac-
tions put an end to all of these dreams.
GIVE got enough stock of that kind
to paper room" said one Kenoshan
this morning" anG guess that's about
all it's good for now"
1t is declared that the patent upon
which the company was based appear
ed to have been made on what promis
ed to be very saleable product but
that over promotion put an end to all
of its virtues.

PICTURES OF THE WORLD WAR
Fifty Photographers on Job, but Views
of Hardest Fighting Do Not
Tell the Story.

During the Civil war photography
was a new art Only one man was on
the job-Brady. If Brady happened
TO be around when a battle was fought
the battle would be photographed
otherwise not. But photography dur
ing the recent war was no such hit
and-miss proposition. How the World
war was caught on negatives is told
I'm an article i'm a recent number of the
American Legion Weekly.
The very first ship that went over
carrying General Pershing also carried
a movie man. And from that time not
a single important engagement went
"unsnapped" When our army was at
the height of its operation it had 90
photographers And for every photog-
rapher in the field we had three men
in the laboratory ready to push our
negatives through.
Although the photographs extant af-
ford a remarkable history, one of the
disappointments has been that even
the best of the battle pictures do not
show the real danger because most of
the hard fighting was done at dawn
before the light was good enough
During the whole war there was never
a motion picture made of hand-to-hand
fighting by the American troops. The
Italian army posed some pictures, but
his was never allowed by American
GENERALS
