PAPPAS WILL ACCEPT
MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE

GAINESVILLE, Wis.-That Nick
Pappas, Beliot Greek, will plead
guilty to fourth degree manslaughter
if the withdrawal of the second de-
gree murder charge from the COM
plant is made, was indicated when
Pappas was brought before Judge
Grimm in the Rock county court.
Arrangement was postponed pend
ing the decision of Judge Grimm on
whether the second degree murder
charge can be withdrawn, which is
expected to be made within the week.
Fourth degree manslaughter would
bring a sentence of from one to four
years in the penitentiary.
Arrangements for the care of the
children of John Slack, Beloit man,
made fatherless by the shooting
charged to Pappas, are to be consid-
cred in determining punishment.
Pappas, drunk with moOnshine, it
is said, fired three shots in a Beloit
restaurant. One of these shots is al
legged to have killed Slack.

INCONSISTENCIES BLOW UP
HOTEL IN FEUD; 3 HURT

SUPERIOR, visa feud between

law and order in Pine county, Mimi,

Revengeful moonshiners, who pic
tured imaginary grievances against
Grace, are believed to have caused the
blast, which injured occupants of the
hotel rooms on the second floor, in
Guiding two daughters of the owner
and his mother, 76. The explosion

STATE SUPREME COURT
OUTLAWS SALOON BAR

The saloon bar was outlawed by
the Wisconsin supreme court in de-
cision filed Wednesday.
In the Abby case, Milwaukee, the
court holds that to make prohibition
legislation effective the legislature has
power to suppress the saloon bar. cor
counter of any description at which
any such drinks or liquors are con-
sumed."
Disagrees With Appellant.
Says the court:
1T was the legislative purpose to
prohibit the erstWhile rather distinc
tive saloon custom of standing at the
bar and consuming drinks. 1t is said
this is an arbitrary, absurd and ridlc-
ulous regulation. Without pausing to
consider whether court should de-
clare unreasonable and void any regu-
lation or condition attached to the
prosecution of a business which the
legislature may entirely prohibit, we
must express our disagreement with
appellants contention in this respect
"We must bear in mind that the
function of this legislation was to
firmly but considerably usher out the
old-time saloon. 1t was known that
many of these places would thence
forth be devoted to the sale of nom
intoxicating liquors by the old pro-
prietors; that for time at least they
would be patronized by their old-time
customers from whom would come
frequent opportunities for intOxicat-
ing liquors, presenting strong tempta-
ton to violate the law prohibiting the
sale of such liquor. No doubt one of
the purposes of the legislation was to
suppress a custom and practice OBJ
tanning in the old-time saloon.
High Bar Screen.
Every one knows that the high
standing bar shields the action of the
bartender who stands behind the bar,
making it entirely possible for him to
introduce intoXicants into so-called
sole drinks. The legislature might
we'll have thought that the prevention
OF drinking at the bar would have a
decided tendency to discontinue the
preparation of drinks behind the bar.
The mere fact Of preventing drinking
at the bar in and of itself requires a
change in the method of serving pa
irons which in time might result in
voluntary abandonment on the part OF
the proprietor Of making any use OF
the bar in connection with his bust
ness of dispensing mountaineering
drinks. This might well Lave been IN
mind of the legislature, and we can
not say that it is an absurd and ride
ulous regulation or that it has no ten
dency to promote the dominant pur-
pose of the legislation"

''SLIM" LEWIS UMPIRES
FOR WESTERN LEAGUE

slim" Lewis, former University OF
Wisconsin coach and baseball captain
officiating as umpire in the Three-Eye
League, was called into Chicago by
Al Tearney, president Of the league
and notified of his promotion to job
as umpire in the Western League with
9 substantial increase in salary.
President Tearney, in making the
promotion, told Lewis, you have
made your own advancement, have
not been boosted, because your work
as an umpire in the Three-Eye League
has been very creditable."
Jumps Lewis goes to Omaha on
Tuesday of this week to fill his first
assignment, and from there goes to
Denver, to officiate on two series,
eight games in all. After that he will
receive further assignments. Slim
in writing to friends at Lancaster,
tells them the double system of UNI
piring prevails in the Western Lea
que and that it will not be as tough
a job as it was in the Three-Eye. Doc
Doolittle of Lancaster made Lewis an
ouer recently, guaranteeing him S15
per game, for all games as umpire and
with the privilege of taking other
dates not in conflict with the Lancas-
ter schedule. However, the new pro-
motion lets the big Badger jumps out
on the Lancaster job
Jack Gerlach, of Shullsburg, catch
er for the Mowers, predicted that Slim
Lewis would make the Majors when
he heard he had a contract to umpire
in the Three-Eye and Gerlach's pre-
diction is coming true even sooner
than his best friends expected. A
year in the Western League will quail
ify "Slim" for the big league perfor-

Iza~e, opposing the bill proposing to
punish persons who think dangerous
thoughts. asked the Diet wha, it pro-
posed to do about Confucius.
Does the government, propose to at
tempt to regulate Confucianism?" he
asked. Does il propose TO Try to reg
ula,e Christianity? When the govern
men, undertakes TO control dangerous
thoughts it Is tackling mighty big job
When Buddhism and Christianity first
came to Japan they were then regarded
as dangerous ihoughts-as dangerous
as communism thoughts are regarded
here today. The ideas preached by Con-
fucius were similar to those entertained
by the Communists today-and if We are
going 10 regulate dangerous thoughts,
We will have to regulate him.
But Confucius has been dead a long
time. another member interrupted.
This bill is retroactive rejoined
lava. Il insist that if you are going to
pass it, YOU will have to be prepared to
put Ccniucius in Jail for seven years, the
penalty it provides for thinking danger

MAKING FARMS OF SwAMPS

Not over two decades ago Southeast
Missouri vas indecorously but aptl,
called --Swampeast Missouri The low
fat country. partly covered with disease
infested ssamps and lakes. was anything
but a desirable habitat. To have seen
l the country twenty wears ago and TO see
it ioday-broad. fertile fields. where the
growing crops raise their lovely heads
4, in the place Of the ugly old marshes-is
a pleasure.
. Men vita much foresight as well as
money wrought changes in this district
that hardly run short of miracles. The
soil Of the old lake bottoms and swamp
areas is deep. underlaid with clay. The
decayed vegetation Of ages has given an
inexhaustible supply Of fertilizers. Need.
less to say. the commercial realization on
the reclaimed land has been more than
ample to justify the undertaking.
A well ordered network Of drainage
diiches has made the reclamation prac,i-
cable. Surface water was frs, drained
into large main bitches. Then subdrain-
age was effected by lateral bitches feed
ing into the main bitches al quarter mile
intervals. Thus thorough realization Of
the full possibilities Of the land was &C.
ocmplished.
Territory where hunters once killed
bears. deer aad ducks in winter and
where nimrods wooed the elusive bass in
summer is now producing prize winning
corn and cotton and substantially contrib
uiing TO the economic consumption Of the
nation.
This is worthwhile philanihrophy.
There is something wonderfully sttrac-
tive in the idea Of changing a worthless
marsh into homes where men and women
can live in happiness. and where the
laughter Of children is heard instead of
the howls Of the wolves.
