Fire Chief Sends
Fuzzy Hot Reply

Don't think for a minute that the
brave fremen are tame bunch who
will sit back meekly and say "Thank
you" when somebody walks over them.
They're alive! Alive and full of pep
and ready at a moments NOTICE to
send far-fung to the world, let alone
little people like motor cops in new
uniforms. Moreover, under the bold
leadership of Chief Scwartz thew are
organized to respond at the first
whistling in your fist when the call is
for action. This is why Chief Schwartz
did not sit calmly by and simply
swallow the sassy words tossed to
the wind by Manager Rock of the Cop
pers' baseball team, but came back
this morning with just as blue-eyed
and bold a reply which reads as fol-
lows:
There appeared an article in Mon
days edition of the Kenosha Evening
News, under the caption Yellow Fire.

Ply blue eyes, new suit and blue tie
with red dots IN it, And in the said
article he broadcasted to the world the
startling information that the Kenoshq
firemen were yellow pikers' and four
flushers.' Evidently Fuzzy was all
het-up and peeved. Probably the new
boats pinched him OF the blue tie with
the red dots choked him Yes, he was
all 'riled-0p' Give US the answer. Man
ager Rock, why the squawk?
"Now listen! The Fireman's base

bats with the Police baseball team! On
the contrary we have always looked
forward to the opportunity of meeting
our respected bluecoats upstairs on the
diamond. So, Mister Rock, pull YOU
team out Of the bushes and prepare
TO meet a real one; a real baseball
team where skill and good sportsman
ship and not Fjay-bone' are the
dominant factors. And as a result OF

SEEKS $4,000 IN
STRANGE SUIT
KenOsha Ice Cream Co.
Sues Telephone Go. for
Damages.
WAS NOT LISTED
Plaintiff Claims that Failure
to List Telephone in Direc-
tory Damaged Business.

The value of telephone service co q
Kenosha industry was demonstrated
this morning when the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Company was named as defend
ant in suit brought by the Kenosha
Ice Cream Company Gil Middle street,
asking for $4,000 damages on the basis
that this much injury had been done to
the business by reason of the fact that
the telephone was not listed in the
regular directory Of the company. The
suit is one of the strangest ever filed
in the Kenosha County courts and it is
declared that 1t will be contested bit
terly, inasmuch as it is largely test
case.
The plaintiff alleges that his tele-
phone is not listed in the present direc-
tory of the company, and that, by rea-
son of this fact his business has de-
creased very appreciably. The sum-
mons in the suit was served on the
manager of the Kenosha branch Of the
Wisconsin Telephonet Company on
Thursday afternoon; it was drawn by
Attorney Robert Verne Baker, counsel
for the defendant.
Little Damage" Declares Defendant.
Manager Holub of the Wisconsin
Telephone Company, while admitting
that the name by some mistake or
other was omitted from the directory,
declares that steps were taken at once
to remedy this, and that little, If any,
damage has been done to the business
of the defendant as a result of the
omission. He stated that early in
March complaint had been filed with
the company by the Kenosha Ice Cream
Company regarding the omitted num-
Der, and that the information operator
had been directed to supply the number
whenever 1t was called. He declares
that, if the company has suffered losses
in business, that much of it is probably
due to the continued cool weather, and
that the telephone company is not to
blame for this.
Manager Holub also states that the
company has done everything within
it's power to correct the mistake, even
though it may not have besn caused by
its negligence. 1t was suggested that
the omission Of the name might have
come about as result of mistake on
the part of the printers. 1t was also
pointed out that the patron had taken
over telephone originally held by an
other, and that the change may have
resulted in the omission.
"The books are always checked care
fully" declared Manager Holub, but,
despite this, once in while a mistake
is made. The suit was unexpected, in
asmuch as it was believed that this
difficulty had been settled entirely to
the patrons satisfaction"
Have Been Similar Suits.
Manager Holub admitted that this
was not the first suit of the kind ever
filed against the Wisconsin Telephone
Company but he declared that the dam
ages claimed were larger than any he
had known Of in his experience He
declared that in all other instances in
his experience investigation had failed
to demonstrate that the patron had lost
heavily by the mistake, and he says
that he expects in this case, if it comes
to trial, that the legal fight will center
on the amount of damages

Mexico Watching
Villa Carefully

Mexico City.-Despite his repeated
assurances that he is no longer ban
dit, but a gentleman farmer of the
state of Durango, the movement of
Francisco Villa are being closely
watched in official circles here. To
some observers it is difficult to believe
that this guerilla has accustomed him
self to the routine of ranch life and is
now finding in his growing crops and
lowing herds the contentment that a
man of his tremendous nervous energy
derived in the past from daring deeds
of warfare.
Is Villa the stunch friend of the
Oregon administration that his
friends claim for him? Will Villa stay
out of politics and play no part in the
forthcoming congressional elections
In the event of a serious threat against
Obregons power, would Villa rally his
1000 ranchers in, behalf of the presi-
dent. or would he lead his men in a
new revolution

FIGHT OVER GIRL
ENDS IN COURT
Two Garden Street Men
Plead Guilty in Munich
pal Court.
STRANGE SORRY CASE

Fight over girl Saturday night re-
suited this morning in the appearance
of two men in court this morning,
charged with disorderly conduct. Both
men were married, and one gave his
name as Joe Ziskowski, SCI Garden
street, and the other as Felix Abrazic,
661 Garden street. Both men were
fined So and costs.
Abrazic came into court with his
head bandaged up and looking as if
he had had the worst of the affray.
He was reluctant to plead guilty, but
finally did so. Zislowski pleaded
guilty with alacrity, and seemed proud
of the fact that he had administered
the blows. Both men were friendly
with one another and left court togeth-
err, surrounded by their wives and
families, an amiable and loving "close-
up.
Fight Caused by Young Girl.
A young and pretty girl was said to
have been the cause of the fracas. The
story was that Abrazic had gone out
with the girl and spent the entire
Saturday evening with her and that his
wife became jealous She appealed to
her neighbor, Mrs. Ziskowski and the
two women enlisted Joe Ziskowski in
to their cause, and persuaded him to
punish the absent husband. Accord
ingly about midnight when Abrazic
was returning with the girl, ziskowski
lay in wait and fell upon him. The
uproar aroused neighbors in the vi
entity and the police were called.
Both men were arrested and held in
Jail until the morning. The young wo-
man was arrested at her home close by.
but released later by the police Charg-
~es were preferred against her but they
were dropped in court this morning, as
it was found that she was not one of
the group when the fight took place
The girls story was that she had
gone with the man and his family once
to a photograph studio, and that he
asked her to go Saturday night to get
the proofs. She said she only meant
to be civil to him, and that she would
not have gone had she not been sure
that his wife knew and didn't mind
Neither of the men could speak English
and were represented by an interpret
,er. The girl is an American.

BASS TAKE BAIT
AT LAKE GENEVA
Kenosha Anglers Enjoy
Trips to Nearby Lakes
on the Fourth.
GREAT FISHING YEAR

Bass are taking the bait at Lake &C.
neva, and hundreds of Kenosha anglers
were at the popular resort on Inde-
pendence Day for their favorite sport.
Fishermen who have been at other
nearby lakes recently report the fish
are biting.
This has been a great season for
angling. Reports from all sections are
that more fish are being caught than
ever before, and there are more fish to
cacth, thanks to the efficient system
employed by most fish and game COM
missions.
Matter of Equipment.
This brings up the matter of equip
ment, In selecting equipment it is not
necessary for the angler to over-exer-
else his pocketbook. The cost of an
outfit depends greatly on the individ-
ual. To the man of means, who is a
fisherman for the pure poy of fishing,
money is no object in procuring the
things he desires, and he will spend
hundreds of dollars for his equipment.
This type would rather play fish for
thirty minutes or more in preference
to making a large catch. 1t is the
sport they enjoy. Others who like to
fish, sportsmen' in every sense of the
word, can secure all the equipment
they need for less than one hundred
dollars, and the farmers boy can squip
himself for little or nothing.
Steel Rods Popular.
For all-around fishing, steel rods are
quite popular. They come in all
lengths, and actions depend on the
personal taste. For bait casting a
short stiff rod of either split bamboo
or steel is used with a quadruple action
reel and silk casting line. For plug
casting light line gives the best re-
suits, but care is necessary in playing
the fish. Opinions differ as to the
sizes and styles of hooks for bait fish
ing. Numbers four and FIVE, either
Sneck, Sproat or Carlyle, tied to either
single or double gut, are used fire.
quently for trout, while the same style
hooks, number 10 or 20, are suitable
for bleak bass. AS a general rule, the
size of the hook is governed by the size
of the fish you hope to catch.
Before purchasing equipment, one

Hughes Sees New
Bonds of Amity
Cables Japan of New Friendship on
Occasion of Reunion of Ann
apOlis Class of 1881.

Tokio.-In honor of the festivities at
Toxic on the Fourth of July, arranged
for Secretary DENLY and the graduates

tary Hughes cabled the following spe-
cial greeting to the Japan Advertiser,
the American daily newspaper pub
lished at Toxic:
"The visit to Japan at this time of
the American Secretary of the Navy,
Mr.. DENLY, and the distinguished mem
bers of the class of 1881 of the United
States Naval Academy, not alone com
memorates an important event in their
own lives and in the life of their emf
nent Japanese classmate, Admiral Uriu,
but it is a forceful reminder as we'll of
the long years of unbroken friendship
between the American and Japanese
governments.
"The visit may in truth be said to
typify the fact that friendships be-
tween nations are as enduring as are
those between individuals. I can wish
nothing better for the class of 81 than
that the visit of their representatives
should promote the continuance of the
friendly and happy relations which
subsist between the American and Jap

is particularly fitting for so distin-
guished group of naval men to meet
together in reunion in a country which
contributed so signally to the success

ment. The world owes Japan, as well
as the other nations which made the
naval program possible, lasting debt
of gratitude"

Washington, D. G. Lines Of differ
ence were drawn more tightly than
ever today when representatives of BIZ
luminous coal operators and officials
of the striking coal miners union
went into their third joint conference
in company with Secretaries Hoover
and Davis. Prior to the meetilE it
was evident that the operators intend
ed to force some sort of conclusion
today without yielding to their REFUSAL
to meet the union for the purpose Of
making national or semi-national

ate for district wage scales with oper-
ators.
