MAS BEDROOM
YIELDS A STILL
Police Raid Home of Mrs.
Ursula MiIkent and Find
Full Distil,ery.
SAFE JAM-CRAM FULL
"Goosey, goosey, gander,
Where shall I wander?
Upstairs and down stairs,
And in my ladv's chamber


"In my lady's chamber" was the cue
for the, police sponge squad Thursday,
afternoon when they raided the home
Of Mrs. Ursula Milkent, 1877 South
Pleasant street, for when they failed
to find the stuff elsewhere on the prem
ises, that's where they found it.
Ursula Such a Pretty Name, Toe.
Who would think that the soft and
winning name of Ursula would be con-
nected with such affairs as moonshine
and moonshine stills? 1t is hard to
believe. Yet the9 sponge squad, Cap
tain Claussen, Detectives Rock and
MeClusk key and Officer ,McGivern were
armed with a warrant for the search
of Mrs, Ursula Milkent's premises and
search the premises they did. Mrs.
Milkent, who lives in the downstairs
fiat, was not at home when the offic-
ers called but her two little boys were.
The boys knew nothing of moonshine
making of course, and let the officers
search the place to their hearts con-
tent. One of the rooms in the house
was locked and when the police cap
tain asked that it be opened the boy
refused.
''You can't go in there" said the
boy, "that's my mothers bedroom"
But finally on the insistence of the
police, "my lady's chamber" was un-
locked, and 10! Moonshine and more
of it met their eyes and still going
full blast. The police brought still
coils and a dozen or more bottles, all
sizes, to the police Office as evidence
Of one of the most successful hawls
they had ever made. There were quart
bottles and Mason jars and carafes,
milk bottles and ginger ale bottles,
some filled with white and some filled
with eolored moon. A specimen of
mash also was taken showing it to be
the raisin kind.
Only Secretary Meissner made a wry
face as he saw the squad enter the
station armed with the trophies of the
chase.
There's one thing sure" he cried,
the safe isn't going to be big enough!
If you're going to keep this up, we'll
have to add a museum on the roof of
the city hail."
Mrs. Milkent pleaded guilty in the
municipal court this morning to illegal
manufacture of moonshine, and was
fined $500 and costs or sixty days in
jail. Up until noon Mrs. Milkent was
trying to arrange to pay the fine.

DESTROY OLD LANDMARK.

| Madison, Wis. Madison's oldest
church, built in 1916 of oak hewn from
the Capitol Square, when Wisconsin
was still in the territory of Michigan,
has just been sold to be used as a
garage. In the early days this struc-
ture, st. Paul's Presbyterian church,
was regarded as a remarkable edice.
Previous to 1876 the Lutheran and
Congregational denominations wor-
shipped in the building, but these con-
solidated into the present church which
has occupied the property Al years.

PLUCKY DRIVER
THWARTS THUGS
Frank Tylius Puts Two
Road Hold-up Men to
Rout Thursday.
TRIED TO STOP TRUCK

Frank Tylius, whose home is on
North Ridge avenue and who drives q
truck for the Mica Furniture comps ny,
had just one silver dollar in his jeans
on Thursday evening as he was hurry
ing to Kenosha from Twin Lakes, but
Just the same he wasn't going to let
any two thugs take that away from
him. He demonstrated this when he
thwarted the attempt of two road
thugs to jump on his truck as he was
crossing the "bottomless-pit bridge"
on the Wilmot road west of Pleasant
Prairie and single handed put them
to flight.
He heard bullet whiz by his head
as he hurried along but just the same
he kept his dollar and gave the ban
dts the worst of the bargain.
Tried to Halt Truck.
Tylius, who is stocky fellow, had
been to Twin Lakes to deliver load
of furniture to the Rademacher dance
hall there. He was returning about
four-thirty Thursday evening. AS he
approached the "bottomless pit" bridge
he saw racing car parked at the side
of the road. Two men, evidently pas
sengers from the racer, had built a
fire and were warming their feet.
AS Tylius approached one Of the men
ran out into the road and throwing
up his arms signalled to Tylius to stop,
intimating that the bridge was weak
and would not hold the truck. Tylius
did slow up, but just as he neared
them, he thought chat perhaps there
was a holdup planned and just as
suddenly he stepped on the accelerator
and started to speed away.
Fights With the Thugs.
When they saw him escaping from
them, the two bandits determined to
put up fight. One jumped on each
side of the drivers cab and attempted
to force his way into the car. The
one on the left missed his footing
and fell; the other kept on climbing
into the ear.
Finally Tylius saw his chance and
let the intruder have a good blow
from mis- rlgnC arm tnaC sent the thug
spinning into the ditch. Both thugs
pulled guns and started to fire but
Tylius kept on going. As soon as he
reached Kenosha, the incident was
reported to the sheriff and an inves-
tigation is being made.
Fund No Bandits There.
Deputies were sent to the bridge but
found no bandits there. They did find,
however, a smouldering fire and tracks
of the racer, both of which bore out
the story told by Tylius. Other drivers
declare that they had noticed the men
along the road, but that no attempts
had been made to halt them.
1t is believed that the thugs saw
Tylius on his way to Twin Lakes with
the load of furniture and believing
that he might have been paid in cash
for the goods, had waited for him to
return Tylius, however, had been
paid only dollar, this being a tip
given to him by the purchaser of the
furniture.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.e
Rcme.-Pope Benedict evidently was
sinking into death this afternoon. Bull
letins from the sick room of the Pom
tiff were eagerly scanned by throngs
waiting side the vatican, but none gave
ground for hope that the prelate woufs
rally from the sinking spells which
mark the progress of pneumonia. The
members of the sacred college re-
manned in the ante-chamber of the
sick room during the night, while ply
sicians and members of the Pope s
family were in attendance. It was
feared the end might come at almost
any moment.
Immediately after the morning con-
sultation of his physicians, the Pope
had a quiet spell. His respiration was
less irregular and after he had ex-
pressed a desire to rest he turned on
his side and fell asleep Immediately.
The physicians were surprised at this
and thought there might be some hope
for his holiness if he were able to
sleep three or four hours.
Calls for Statue of St. Agnes.
The Pope dozed from s until o.
clock when cordial was administered.
Today being the fete day of St. Agnes,
patron of Capranica college, in which
he was youthful student, the Pope
asked to be shown a small statue of
the saint with which the students of
the college had presented him. The
statue was placed on the altar of the
chapel where a number Of masses were
said.
The worst period for the Pope dur
ing the night occurred just before day
break. He was extremely low at this
time, gasping for breath and apparent
ly suffering intense agony. Shortly
after 8 o'clock the physicians gave out
their bulletin announcing that,the Pope
was worse. Then came the slight i'm
provement towards 9 o'clock when it
was stated his holiness was resting
easier. The cardinals began to appear
to make their visits. Among the first
were noted Cardinal Merry Del Val,
Cardinal .Laurentis and Cardinal Van
nutelli. The foreign ambassadors,
anxious for news, also began to send
in requests Sor information on the
Pontiff's condition
Throughout the night there was al
most absolute silence at the vatican
with only few guards pacing up and
down and here and there Various at
tendants performing their tasks. The
top floor where the Pope's apartments
are, was almost deserted save for one
guard near the entrance to the Pope's
chambers. Inside the apartments there

BAD COMPANY CAN

The disastrous effects Of keeping
bad company was graphically illus

Assembly Room of the Claypool Hotel.
The illustrations, life size. were
shown and discussed by Harold w

of the bureau Of Agricultural Econom-
les of Washington. D. c.. but the bad
company was kept by the vegetables,
according to the pictures.
According to Mr.. Simpson, an en-
tire crate Of respectable Bermuda
onions can have its reputation ruined
and its market price greatly reduced
by the discovery that it contains a
few double faced, thick necked speci-
mems.
In the same manner. he commended
a few understood overripe potatoes
can corrupt an entire sackful Of wor-
thy 'spuds" and give the shipper q
bad reputation and the potatoes a low

Containers OF deceptive shape and
size serve also to shake the conf

declared.

bilities Of radio in market and croI

SANITARY BOARD
HIRES ENGINEER
DESPITE SWIFT
E. w. Mccullough Becomes En-
pIoye by Contract Signed
Today.
MEMBERS ARE IN TILT
Craven Declares Associates
Speech Is Misstatement
of Facts.

In spite Of opposition from Lucius
B. Swift, member of the board of SAM.
tary commissioners, a contract for the
employment Of z. W. Mccullough as
engineer of the board was signed by
the board today. Swift, in formal
statement to the board, said:
Il have examined the contract
which the majority Of the board pro-
poses to make with Erwin W. McCul-
Tough, and find myself unable to join
in the execution Of the contract.
I'VE already have one Of the most
efficient organizations in the country
for all kinds Of sanitary construction;
the men were carefully selected and
are highly skilled. This contract pro-
poses to set up a second organization
with all necessary expense and to pay
Mr.. McCU Tough the sum Of s6,000,"
Swift said
These facts make it impossible
for me as a member of the board
to join in the execution Of the pro
posed contract" he said.
Jay A. Craven, president of the
board, said in reply: Mr.. Swift's
statement is a clear misstatement Of
facts. There will be no saving by
having the present engineer perform
the work. Charles F. Hurd. the pres
ent engineer, has a large force Of
assistants, while Mr.. Mccullough will
do all Of his work personally and the
only assistant he will probably hire
will be a tracer for his drafting work
