Aldermanic Council Rule of the City Ends On
Monday Evening With Mayor Sing
ing the Swan Song.
LEAVE KENOSHA NO MEAN CITY,
Mayor Joachim Declares Retiring Administration Has
Done Much in Its Day and Wishes New
Administration All Success. 4
"The King IS dead. Long I've

"The King is dead Long live the
King"
The aldermanic form Of government
which for seventy-two years ruled the
city Of Kenosha passed into history
Monday evening just before ten o'clock
when the old city council, having COM
pleted it's business and closed his rec
ords, adjourned sine die; and as it
passed the new city commission which
is to govern Kenosha under the city
manager form of government, auto
natically took the reins Of government
as the five members Of the new body
had already been sworn into Office and
we're merely waiting for their pre-
iecessors to finish their course.
There was little ceremony; no men,
oers of the new commission were pres
int to gloat over the downfall of the
Did system or to theoretically receive
he mantle of power. One would hard
y have known it was not just reg
dlar meeting of the council had it not
been that Mayor Joachim in closing
up his years of service to the city as
alderman and mayor, took few mo-
ments at the close Of the meeting to
Sing the, swan song of the past" and
extend a hand Of greeting and good
fellowship to the new.
Tells of Past's Triumphs.
Mayor Joachim briefly reviewed the
triumphs of the past to show that the
outgoing form of government had done
much to place Kenosha in the front
rank of the cities of Wisconsin and
of the entire country Gust nine
years ago today, was elected alder
man." he declared. Give years later
in most strenuous campaign the peo-
pie of Kenosha named me mayor, which
position | retained two years later by
an election which gave me a majority
in every ward. / appreciate all the
support you as aldermen have given
me during my administrations. l have
worked with you and found you faith
full. | wish to thank the commissions
who likewise have been faithful; am
glad that can truthfully say that there
is not blemish on any of them" Y
-Four years ago. when I took this
seat as mayor of the city, my ambition
was to put Kenosha on the map as a
progressive city. We have done that;
the Main street bridge is completed,
we have built breakwaters far into the
lake, sewers, have been constructed,
paving has been built and when we
leave tonight there is good million and
a half dollars in the treasury"
mot as Bad as Painted"
Gentlemen, the government which
is now passing into history is not as
bad as it has been painted by the
chronic kickers; I'm proud that not a
man is leaving with dirty hands. They
had a grand jury and they never found
anything on us other than that one or
two may have taken drink. think
the time will come when the people
will look back and say Those were the
boys who did things You may expect
criticism as you leave the council
chamber this evening, but those who
are repoicing over your departure are
largely those who failed to make the
grade, You men who have been on

SEEKING In VAIN
FOR LOST RECORDS
Trial of Men Charged With Liquor
Violations Centers on Loss of
Important Papers.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Milwaukee Testimony that the rec
ords of the federal prohibition offices
show that only TAI cases of whiskey
were bought by Harry Arnold, whereas
Arnold during his career as whole
sale liquor dealer actually bought 1850
cases, was introduced today at the trial
of William Dusold and A. F. Barker
charged with conspiracy to violate the
Volstead act. The insinuation was
that the records covering the remain
der Of Arnold's purchases had been re-
moved, or never had been executed By
Barker, who was chief clerk in the pro-
hibition Office at the time. The testi-
mony was given by c. M. Perry, as
sistant prohibition director.
George Brown, Louisville, who at the
time was president of the Big Spring
Distilling Co, testified that the com
pany had sold Arnold 319 cases of
.whiskey. The company sent copy Of
Arnold's permit to buy the whiskey to
the prohibition office, Mr.. Brown said
Three months later, however, he re-
ceived letter from the Office saying
that no copy of the permit had been
received, whereupon he sent another
copy.
Charles Grosscurth, Chicago, at that
time wholesale liquor dealer, testi-
fed that he sold Arnold 800 cases of
whiskey and sent permit to the pro-
hibition Office, but few months later
received letter similar to the one re-
ceived by Mr.. Brown. He said he like
wise sent another copy. At the time
he received Arnold's order he tele-
phoned to the prohibition office to see
of the transaction was genuine, Gross
curth said, and was told by Barker
that it was.
Former clerks in the prohibition
office testified that all employees had
the right to use the rubber stamp fac
smile signature of Thomas A. Delaney
then director, and that Barker had the
right to D. X. permit by adding tn
initials ~. M. S."
Harry Dusold, cousin of William
Dusold, testified that he bought $50
cases of whiskey4 from Arnold at $3.50
case and said that William Dusold
was present when the transaction was
made. On cross examination, however
Dusold said that William Dusold was
Is feet away while he was talking to
Arnold. Moreover, the witness said
Arnold subsequently told him that nc

The government rested today. VIM
H. Bennett, representing Dusold, and
Charles B. Perry, representing Barker
moved that the cases be dismissed
Federal Judge A. E, Geiger denied the
motion. Dusold then took the stand
and returned complete denial to the
charges against him.

PLAN BIG MERGER
OF PACKING PLANTS
Informal Discussion Being Held of
Plan to Merge Five Great Plants
in Near Future. NJ.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

Chicago - Informal negotiations for
a merger Of three Of the "big five"
packing companies into $500,000,000
Ogden Armour, head of Armour and
company, according to the Herald and
Examiner today. The corporation
would have as its president Thomas e.
Wilson, president Of Wilson and Com
pany and Mr.. Armour would be chair
man of the board of directors, accord
ing to the newspaper
The firms involved are: Armour
and company, with total valuation
of $320,718,997; Wilson and company,
with a net worth of $88,097,250 and
Cudahy and company with valuation
of 45,5O2,250
Consent of the interstate commerce
commission would be necessary for the
success of the proposed merger, it is
said. rs
Persons who are credited with be-
ing familiar with the merger, say no
new financing is contemplated the
proposition being, that Armour and
company exchange its securities for
those of the other companies.
Mr.. Armour is supposed to be ac-
tuated by the motive of desiring a
successor to the presidency of Armour
and company, a position handed down
to him by his father Having no son
to carry on the business he is forced
to go outside the family. Mr.. Wilson's
success in the packing industry has
made him the logical candidate and
the newspaper points out that to se-
cure Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Armour is forced
to buy Mr.. Wilson's company.
Flat denial that an amalgmation of
the Armour, Cudahy and Wilson pack
ing companies is contemplated, was
made today by ]. Ogden Armour and
Edward Cudahy, presidents of their
respective organizations. Thomas E.
Wilson, head of Wilson and company
was not ina the city.

FORMER OFFICER
GETS 80 MONTHS
Sentenced by Judge Belden This After
noon Following Conviction on
Bribery Charges.

Alex Ritter, former undersheriff of
Kenosha county, was sentenced to serve
two and half years at hard labor in
the state prison at Waupun by Judge
E. B. Belden in the circuit court this
afternoon. Sentence was pronounced
on the former undersheriff just be-
fore three o'clock and it is probable
that he will be taken to Waupun on
Wednesday morning.
Ritter, who was found guilty of
bribery on eight counts by a jury in
his case last January, stood motion
less as he listened to the sentence
and turned away afterwards without
saying word.
Peter Fisher, Jr., was present in the
court at the same time, but sentence
was not pronounced upon him. Fish
er's attorneys, r. v. Baker, Wallace
Ingalls, and Calvin Stewart, were all
present, and as soon as the Ritter
case was disposed of, an argument on
the plea in bar raised by the defense
attorneys was heard before Judge
Belden. The attorneys held that Fish
er because he had testified before the
grand jury was immune from prosecu.
ton and that the verdict in his case
on the bribery charge should be set
aside, and judgment on the verdict
not rendered.
A Messenger of Meyer.
Only few people we're in the coun-
ty courtroom this afternoon when
Alex Ritter was sentenced. Ritter was
co-defendant with Joseph Meyer, form
er sheriff, when the two were found
guilty of having given brides to Peter
Fisher jr., former district attorney.
81 have tried to look at your case
from all angles" said Judge Belden,
prior to pronouncing sentence. II do
believe that you were only messenger
as it were, an employee, of the former
sheriff in carrying money for him to
the district attorney. Yet / cannot
overlook the fact that you did it, and
that you knew at the time what the
money was for, name the corruption
of the district attorney by brides.
have personal liking for you, and a
personal desire to be lenient, but / am
confronted here with my duty"
Judge Belden then sentenced the
former under-sheriff to two and a
half years at Waupun, the sentence
covering the entire counts on the brib-
cry charge. F
