KenOShan Raises
Unique Beans
Beans of Gigantic Dimensions and
Weight Grown in Kenosha Create
Interest on North Side.

What is creating great interest on
the north side at the present time, is
new variety of bean raised on the
premises of Frank Ambrose, corner Of
North Oak and North Sheridan road.
The beans are called the Gigantic
Climbing New Guinea Butter Bean, and
at the present time are 80 inches in
length and weigh from 10 to 20 pounds.
The beans raised here were however
planted too close together, which hind
ers their growth. They have been
grown to length of feet.
Kenoshans are invited to look them
over if they desire. This wonderful
edible vegetable is a native of New
Gui'lea and was introduced into Aus
traha, where it has become very
popular vegetable. They grow splend-
idly in all parts of this country. Given
three months warm weather, the vines
produce immense crops of beans, some
measuring 3 to 5 feet long and weigh
ing as much as 80 pounds each.
To cook, the beans are to be cut when
young, from to 10 pounds in weight
ASJ5 sSdAA We 14lSQ LIE SAINT DIS egg
plant, cook like summer squash, candy
the rind like citron, make pies or cake,
and when small make fine pickle.
Different conditions in soil and eli
mate cause the beans to vary very
much in size, hence it is very difficult
to say at what weight they ought to be
cut, but they must be young and cut
before the seeds get hard.
To cook, scrape or peel the, green
skin off; cut into small squares, place
in slightly salt water for an hour;
then throw into boiling water with a
pinch of baking soda; IL minutes after
again coming to the boil, try with a
fork or skewer and if sufficiently soft,
strain through a colander and serve
hot; or minutes longer may be
necessary, but overlooking is fatal to
its delicate flavor.
Mr.. Ambrose raised few last sea-
son, but this year has quite number
of the New Guinea Butter Bean and
the public is invited to look them over.

WilmOt Bows to
Lake Villa, rs
Dean Bixby Pitches Villa to Win
Over Kenosha County Nine for
Southern Wisconsin HonOrs.

Lake Villa added the championship
of southern Wisconsin to its string of
laurels when it took the Wilmot crew
into camp with a to score on Sun
day. The Lake Villa team went to
Wilmot expecting a hard battle, but
the contest was not forthcoming.
It was rumored in baseball circles
here today that the Merchants and
Savings bank club will send chal-
lenge to the Lake Villa outfit for a
series of games.
Lake Villa had to lend Jess Dawson
to the local county crew because the
latter pitcher, Richter, jumped to Nc
Henry and left them in a lurch.
Dawson worked we'll all the way, al
lowing eleven hits in the fray.
Bixby hurled for the Lake Villa
team and pitched fine game. The
Wilmot aggregation plus Dawson gar
nered only four hits off hooks and
fast ones. Dean has been playing in
the. outfield for the Lake Villa nine
after he left the Antioch team where
he had been hurting
The Lake Villa team put the game
in good way in the first inning when
they scored three runs off Dawson.
The Merchants club is anxious for
game with Lake Villa and if it were
staged here one of the greatest
crowds of amateur fans would no
doubt take in the attraction.

Kenosha was again brought in the
limelight before the pardon board of
the state when it became known today
that six Kenoshans are named on the
list of twenty pardon applications
which are to be heard by Governor
John j. Blaine on next Wednesday.
Joseph Gallo, of Kenosha, now serv-
ing life sentence for the murder of
his cousin, Peter Cermanaria, has the
longest sentence of any of those seek
ing .clemency. His attorney has based
the claim for clemency on the theory
that Gallo shot while in fear of his
life even though it was not nj self
defense.
The other Kenoshans seeking Glenn
ency are all men, convicted of viola
ing the prohibition laws and serving
sentences imposed os result of grand
jury Investigations. These men are /:

fine of $500.

fine of $1,000.
julius Klouss, serving one year and
$500 fine.
Gallo's Crime Notorious.
The petition for clemency for JOS
eph Gallo, the slayer of his cousin,
Peter Cerminaria, recalls the Staying,
which was recorded in the court an
mails as one of the most cold looded
murders in the history of the county.
There had been bad blood between the
two for several weeks before the
shooting due to letter received from
Italy, which it is said reflected on rel
atives of the slain man.
Gallo met Cerminaria on Garden
street on the night of July l, 1917, and
before the latter had said or done any
thing pulled his gun and shot several
times. One of the bullets penetrated
Cerminaria's lung, from which wound
he died on the following day. The
other shots almost struck the compan-
ions of the two men who were with
them.
Pleaded ''Instant Fear"
Gallo when brought to trial pleaded
"instant fear" declaring he had shot
because he feared for his life. 1t
was recalled that Cerminaria had
stabbed Gallo several weeks earlier
The slayer was found bully of muir
der in the first degree and was SEN
fenced to life improvement by Judge

He spoke English and Spanish equal

of which are recorded on the police
records in the Kenosha department.
These were Ford, Engles, Charles For

At the prison, it is declared that
Gallo has been model prisoner. The
plea for clemency was brought by At
torney Angelo Cerminara of Milwau-
kee, who is also Italian consul in Mill

Kuzmas Notorious Case.
Of the others Jack Kuzmus was the
most notorious case. Kuzmus was con-
victed as a result of the grand jury
probe of being the proprietor of dis
orderly house. His trial was one of
the most sensational of those carried
on as a result of the activity of the
grand jury as it revealed sensational
traficking in young women. 1t is
said that the state will oppose the

in this case.
Kuzmus was also indicted of selling

have opposed previous appeals for
clemency.

Short was the career of crime of
Lloyd Fathers, an eighteen year old
Racine lad, who was caught in the
act of robbery here by the quick work
of the Kenosha police on Saturday
night after he had entered the homes
of E. J. Thomey, 1917 Salem avenue,
and Fred B. Pabst, Republican can
didate for sheriff, 1919 Salem avenue.
Today in the municipal court where
he was arraigned for the burglaries,

the court, pleading youth and promis-
ing to forget his hayward path.
His father, prominent garage man
in Racine, came to Kenosha to appear
for his son and if possible to extri-
cate him from his perdicament.
Police Worked Fast.
The capture of Fathers was brought
about by quick work of the Kenosha
police. Just after nine o'clock Sat-
urday evening telephone call came

the Thomey home, declaring that a
man was ransacking the Pabst home.

the four policemen closed in on him.
He made a dash for liberty but was
overtaken and then went willingly to
the police department. There search
revealed gold watch and three rings
which he had taken from the Thomey
home. He had ransacked that house
and had just started to, gransack the

money to pay a doctor bill.
He had driven to Kenosha in a Ford
automobile which he had parked about
two blocks from the homes which he
had picked out to enter. He used
screwdriver to break his way into the
houses and after entering boldly turn
ed on the lights and searched each
room of the house. He was not armed.
Police at Racine reported that
Fathers had never been in serious
trouble there. His home is at 1915
Quincy street in Racine. His father
who came to Kenosha early Sunday
afternoon declared that he knew moth
