UNDERWOOD DEFENDS
CHEMICAL FOUNDATION
Alabama Senator Makes frey Attack
on the Administration in the
Senate Today.

Washington.-T Chemical Founda-
tion and its president, Frances P. Gar
van, former alien property custodian,
who are being proceeded against by
the government for the return of Ger
man chemical patents, were defended
in the senate today by Senator Under
wood of Alabama, Democratic leader,
who criticized President Harding and
the administration, of the action taken
against them.
Denying that there was fraud, collu-
sion or conspiracy in the acquisition
of the German patents by the Chemical
Foundation. Senator Underwood also
commended the record of A. Mitchell
Palmer, former attorney-general and
former alien property custodian, in
dealing. with, enemy alien property.
German interests, Senator Underwood
said, were supporting the administra-
TONS course against the Chemical
Foundation in the hope, he said, of
securing restitution of property and
also damage claims for its use.
Senator Underwood's statements were
made during an address in support Of
his recent bill to create an American
commission to press American damage
claims against Germany and Austria,
using enemy alien property seized as a
pledge for payment. Underwood OPP
posed the administration plan for a
joint claims commission or another
treaty to deal with the claims, declar-
ing there was no necessity for further
negotiations with Germany on the sub
ject. He reviewed at length the alien
property legislation and cited figures
showing that property worth $600,0o0,-
900 was taken over and control secured
of 200 alien corporations.
Quoting from, Palmer's report on
enemy alien property, Senator Under
wood said that the $25O,0O0 paid by
the Chemical Foundation in securing
rights to the 5000 German chemical
patents was adequate" when the gov
ernment's right to use the patents was
considered.

But IsadOre Jock Was An
Adventurous Boy from
Toledo and so
CHIEF GAVE HIM TIME

@'Armed, you say?' ARMED, my lord
From top to toeT
My lord, from head to foot"
But he was only seventeen years old
and bright Jewish lad, which bright
ness was evident as soon as he began
to speak, although when he walked into
the room in his khaki suit which was
Boy Scout verging on the Wild West,
it looked as if he were ready to go on
the stage in some slashing melodrama
with lot of gun-play in it.
He gave his name to Chief Logan as
Isadore Jock of Toledo, Ohio, and said
that he had run away from home
after having an argument with the
home folks.
II couldn't get on with my dad" said
the youth, "and so took to the road"
Isadore was arrested Saturday night
by the police officers, after frightening
some persons in Eichelman Park, to
whom he pretended that he was a park
policeman, When the police searched
him they found an elaborate dagger,
with the word "Czecho-S lavakia" on
the handle and the whole sheathed in
an elaborate case of dog-fur. 1t ap-
peared to be only another element in
Isadore's theatrical makeup, and moth
ing that suggested that he was a dam
gerous person, but only boy out ad-
venturing, who had gone a bit too far.
Glow long have you been in Keno
sha?" asked the chief of police.
"Three days altogether-including
the time spent in your wonderful.
Jail"
The chief, Captain Clausen, and
Secretary Meissner, passed this fresh
ness by without comment.
"What will pou do if we let you go?"
"Back home"
"Home is the best place after all
then, is it,"
81 hope to tell you, sir"
Isadore said that he had letters from
home but they were all in his haver-
sack, which he said he had left at a
local garage. The police captain went
with him, and the haversack was
found where the adventurer said he
had left it.
Opening it again at the chiefs table,
he tossed over letter or two non
chalantly.
az hope that will satisfy you," he
said in his hard tone of buccaneer,
with three pirate ships buried at sea.
But the chief of police, who had been
humoring his guest, called for better
manners.
"What do you think this is, kin
dergarten ?" he asked.
Isadore showed that he was "just
boy" after all, for his "side" deserted
generously fell sthtnneerqlrjbfw ihte
him at the pinch, and his face fell
ingenuously like that of any repri-
manded youngster.
He promised the chief that he would
leave town with fire in his boots and
"hoof" it straight back home. He said
he needed no money and that he would
go the way he came, and wanted moth
ing so much as to be able to put
Kenosha to the north and eventually
to the west Of him.

leave with his haversack. kit and ALL

cities in the west on it and that means
a good deal. Look at Milwaukee.

correcting the mistakes made by their
aldermen forty years ago. All the
cities in the northwest are looking
towards Kenosha and its plans today,

county we wouldn't need plan. But
we're alive and growing fast and a
growing thing needs plan to grow by.

upon with pride some years hence"
