Trotsky Sees Failure
Without America

Moscow - The prediction was made
by Leon Trotzky, Soviet minister of
war, in an interview today that the
coming Genoa economic conference
would be a failure unless the United
States enters it with heavy handv
and makes possible the finding of the
center of the worlds political equi-
librium. This, he added, was just as
difficult task as it was for Archi-
medes to find the center of gravita-
ton.
Trotzky's interview, granted to the
foreign correspondents here, was the
first of an authorized nature he had
given since the change in Russia's
economic policy.
"America's attitude toward Soviet
Russia is enigmatic" continued Trot-
zky. "She helps US more than any 9TH
er nation in feeding the famine suf-
ferers but refuses to voice her polite
al attitude. We are watching this with
regret, and hope her attitude will
change"

Y, Ill TAKE BIDS
FOR ALGONQUIN
Engineers Say Contractors
Will Submit Bids in Chi
cago Jan. 81.
NINE STORIES HIGH

New hopes for the carrying out of
the plans for the erection of the AL
gonquin Hotel at the corner of Sheri-
dan road and Market street, were raised
on Tuesday when representatives of
contracting companies were in the city
making tests of the soil on the bot
tom of ''Lake Algonquin" and these
men declared that within a short time
bids were to be taken for the construc-
ton of the building. The contracting
company represented was one from
Terre Haute, Ind, and the agent of
the company said that bids for the
construction of the building were to
be opened in Chicago on January 31st.
The man did not seem to be able to
give out any facts as to the manner in
which the proposed hotel was to be
financed, but he seemed to be opti-
mistic that the work was to go on
and that the contract for the building
would be let when the bids are opened
on the last day of the month.
A Nine Story Structure.
This man declared that bids were
being taken on nine story structure
of steel and brick and that the plans
provided for a hotel which would be
thoroughly modern in every way and
credit to Kenosha.
Local men who have been interested
in the plans for the Algonquin could
not be located this morning and the
company's Office is now located in Chi
cago. Efforts to reach the architect
by telephone failed
In the meantime it is said that an
application has been made to the Wis
consin Railroad Commission for per-
mits to sell stock in another hotel pro-
ject in Kenosha but as yet the com
mission has notIacted favorably on the
matter. 1t is just possible that there
will be race between hotel projects
in the city. 1t was intimated that out
of the three or four projects underway
Kenosha might get one good hotel

Washington.-The American proposal
to re-defne the open-door policy in
China and to create an international
board to examine both existing and
future concessions which appear to
conflict with it, was adopted in part
today by the Far Eastern committee
of the Washington conference. The
portion adopted included the general
statement as to equality of opportunity
in China for trade and industry of all
nations; the agreement by which the
eight powers declare their acceptance
of that principle and the provision for
creation of the international board.
Further Action Postponed.
Action was deferred pending further
discussion on the fourth and final
progress of the resolution by which the
nine powers, including China, agree
that any provisions yof any existing
concession appearing inconsistent with
those of another concession or with the
principles of the open-door may be sub
mitted by the powers concluded to the
international reference board.
The Japanese and French delegations
were understood to have interpeseaaob~
jections to the fourth paragraph of the
resolution, the latter sugges ting its
amendment to prevent possible inter
ference with existing concessions by
the board Definite agreement to take
the paragraph up later was not reached,
it was said, although the Chinese dele
CATION gave notice of its intention to
press later for its adoption.
Have Plan for Railways.
The American delegation it was
stated authoritatively today, is expect
ed to lay before the Washington con-
ference another Far Eastern resolution
which will relate to Chinese railways,
the purpose being to bring the roads
so far as possible under general rules
operating to prevent discrimination in
favor against the nationals of any par
ticular country. Extended discussion
of the American proposal ''to apply
more effectually the principle of the
CD6u-QOOE III OUIAd was Az PAOOPOSs
today when the Par Eastern committee
of the arms conference resumed con-
sideration Of the subject.
Accept British Suggestion.
Revised at the suggestion of the
British delegation to provide for an
international board of reference to re-
view present and future concessions to
determine whether they conflict with
the open-door policy as REDEEMED in
the original draft of the resolution
presented by Secretary Hughes, the
proposal already has been given the
approval of that delegation ''as it
stands" while the delegates of Italy
have announced adherence in principle
The resolution briefly would bind the
represented powers not to seek special
spheres of influence in China nor Sc
cure concessions or monopolies which
would abridge the priniiple of equal
economic and commercial opportunity
while China, on her part, would under
take to cooperate in maintaining that
equality.

FISH SHANTY IN

Two Bearded Men Rob

Afternoon.
LOCK HIM IN SHANTY
Order Hands Up and After
Relieving Fisehrmen of Roll
Lock Him in Shanty.

This is the story of a fsh-shanty
hold-up, but it's no fish story, and
Mike Stacey will vouch for it. So will
Mike Stacey's wallet, which is leaner
by roll following the robbery. 1t all
happened Tuesday afternoon just about
four o'clock that the fisherman was
robbed and locked in his shanty at the
north end of Main street bridge and
it was two hours before he managed
to get out and get home.
"Did you telephone the police ?"
asked Mrs. Stacey when her husband
came home and breathlessly narrated
his strange experience.
Forgot all about it," confessed Mr.
Stacey, who had experienced hold-up
for the first time in his life. Mrs.
Stacey telephoned police headquarters.
Had Just Collected Wages.
Stacey called at the Gerling Con-
struction company yesterday afternoon
for back wages which were due him,
he received the money, which was SIS
and thrust the bills into his hip pocket
as he walked down the street. He de-
cided that he would go over to the new
shanty which he has put up ON the
site of the old Hill freight house and
mend a few nets before going home.
He unlocked the door of the fish shan
ty, left the paddock on the door and
stepped inside. He had no sooner TAX
en- up net into his hands when two
men entered, strangers to Stacey.
"Have you any fish today?" asked
one of the men.
"Not today" replied Stacey "We
haven't been out"
"Stick 'em up!' cried the first
stranger, leaning over with threaten
ing gesture.
whats that?" asked the fisherman
astonished.
Hands up, and we mean business!'
ooh, quit your kidding" replied
Stacey.
A steel revolver was thrust at him
without further parley and Stacey put
up his hands obediently in response to
this silent language. One of the men
Immediately sought for Stacey's hip
pocket as if ne knew that the roll were
to be found there. The victim was
kept covered with gun until the men
were out of the shanty, whereupon they
locked the door and went off.
Six-Foot Stranger Again.
There was no telephone in the place
the shanty being just recently set up,
and consequently no way in which the
fisherman could summon help. He
managed at last to break the door of
the shanty and get out when his first
thought was to get home as quickly
as possible.
Stacey said that one of the men was
about six feet tall, wore a brown suit
and soft hat and that the other wore
a blue suit and blue cap and that Meth
er wore overcoats. Both men wore
boards and Stacey thought that posi-
bly, the boards were false.
Mrs. Stacey congratulated herself on
having left the shanty few minutes
before the robbery took place with $50
that had otherwise been left in the
cash box.
The "tall six-footed stranger" has
appeared in other reports of house
breaking and hold-ups.

clared that he had acted as Schrayer's

Mr.. Sawyer.
mo-" was the reply
An objection by the defense TO the
introduction of collateral issues into
the case was sustained by Judge
Anderson.
Established One AIibi.
One of Burke's a1ibis was corrobor-
ated by John E. Ferris, member of
the party of Governor Cox, Democratic
presidential candidate which came to
Milwaukee September 4. Ferris testi-
fed that ne had been with Burke the
entire day, although according to Gus
ter's testimony, Burke on that day had
received 10000 for his connection with

meeting with Custer, Feuer and Gross
curth in which Custer expressed the

Cited New Regulations.
Custer, according to Burke, referred
to new regulations whereby no liquor
would be released until the prohibition
directors Office, the prohibition en-
forcement Office, and the department
of justice had been notified. Burke
doubted the authenticity of Clusters in
formation but called Herzog to fnd7out.
It was then that Burke met Herzog,
the man he is accused of having bribed

timoney. Herzog was bound for the
west side, according to telephone
conversation between him and Burke
and would drop in to see Burke.
Upon his arrival Herzog was intro
duced to Burke by Custer.
Skaters Feuer's Testimony.
Burke shattered the testimony of
Harry Feuer, some times called Jacob
Lederer, alleged brains of the whiskey
ring, by establishing alibis for all
the dates on which he was said to have
been in Milwaukee arranging for the
arrival of the liquor cars
Burke denied all completely in the
case and swore that he had no knowl-
edge of the shipments until client
made some chance remark that led him
to believe carloads Of whiskey were
being shipped to Milwaukee,. He call
ed Thomas A. Delaney, then federal
prohibition officer, and informed him
of his belief, he said.
At the time he had been charged
with being in touch with Bert P. Her
zog and fixing" the arrival of the
booze, he said he did not know that
such man existed. The alibis came as
an apparent surprise to the prosecu-
ton.
