COURT TO HEAR
HERZOG APPEAL
Writ Of Error Granted
Thursday to U. S. APP
pellate Bench.
CAME AS SURPRISE

An interesting turn in the affairs of
Bert P. Herzog, former dry enforce
ment chief, under sentence to serve
seven J -ars in the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth for ccepting brides,
came on Thursday afternoon when he
obtained writ of error by petition to
federal district court in Milwaukee.
The writ was granted by Judge Geiger
and opens the way for an immediate
hearing Of the appeal Herzog was be-
fore the court and provided super
sedeas bonds of $4,000 pending action
on his appeal by the higher court.
The granting of the writ means that
Herzog's appeal Will be considered by
the circuit court Of appeals in Chicago.
Somewhat of Surprise.
The action of Herzog in applying to
the district court for the writ of error
instead. of directly to the circuit court,
came as a surprise, but federal officials
explained that a new custom of pro-
cedure made possible the issuance of
the writ by the district court.
Attorney David S. Rose, counsel for
Herzog, declined to state what ground
he would base his appeal on. Herzog
was sentenced to seven years in Fort
Leavenworth and fine of $4,000 after
his conviction on eight counts of an
Indictment charging him with accept
ing $16,5OO in brides from members of
the alleged Milwaukee and Kenosha
liquor ring.

DEMAND ON FRANCE
MAY CHANGE ATTITUDE
United States May Demand Immediate
Payment of Amounts Due From
France on War Loans.
(By United Press)

Observation-Disclosures may demand
that France Immediately pay her debt
to this country as a means of forcing
her to abandon her big submarine fleet
policy. Amendments to the foreign
debt refunding bill are being prepared
One of these, to be presented to the
senate, will direct that a demand be
made on France for payment of the
interest and principal of the debt. This
debt amounts to between $4,000 0O, 900
and So 000,000,000.
France, of course, could not pay it
off if the United States demanded it..
The idea back of the proposed demand
is that its adoption would serve notice
on France that American public and
official opinion, heretofore extremely
friendly to France, had undergone a
chilling because of the French attitude.
Other amendments to the bill, SINH
lar in import have begun to take form
at the capitol. They all carry the idea
that if France has money to spend on
a huge navy and army, she ought to
have some to pay off her war debts.

SET NO DATE
FOR SMALL TRIAL
Judge Edwards Will Hear Motions on
January 18th, But Date of Trial
is Indefinite.

(By Associated Press Leased Wirel
Waukegan, III. - The docket of the
Lake county circuit court today was
clear of all charges against Governor
Len Small except nine counts of an
indictment charging the governor
with Lieutenant Governor Fred Ster-
ling and Vernon Curtis with conspir-
acy to defraud the state of $2,000,0000
during Mr. Sterling's term in office.
The action Of the sttae in nolling
an indictment charging the gvernor
with embezzlement of 100000 during
the last six months of his term as
state treasurer rather than to go to
tria wit it first, removed the last of
the charges of misconduct in office
against Mr.. Small.
The next step in the case will be
taken here January 7 when motions by
the defense for separate trials for Mr..
Curtis and the governor on the con-
spiracy charge will be heard. The
trial date remains indefinite.

Breath Inspector
for Youngstown

Youngstown, Ohio = Notice of a

the police force, inserted in the police
roll call here yesterday as a joke, was
hailed as good idea by Mayor-elect

it into force when he assumes office

scents of cloves, wintergreen of pep

Gives December Report.

The report also presented a review
o fthe industrial situation for the
month of December which reads as fol-
lows:
Conditions at the shops of our mem
bers during this month have undergone
but little change. The loss or gain in
number of operatives will probably be
where from the 1st to the Goth, there
was noted decrease of SO employees in
eleven factories. Indications point to
some gain in certain plants the COM
ing month, but it will not be general
One four leading manufacturers in
commenting upon the situation, says:
"We have made some increase the past
two months and will do we'll if we can
hold same during January, February
and March. After another three
months, I look for marked improve
ment along all lines" We believe this
gentleman's statement is fair and
conservative estimate of the situation.
The Superintendent League.
A resume of the activities of the
league of factory superintendent
shows that during the year there we're
held twenty-four luncheon meetings
with the average attendance of eight
cen members. The closing session of
the year was devoted to the safety
movement with Deputy Dav Evans, of
the Industrial Commission, and Safety
Engineer August Kaems, of the Sim
mons Company as speakers.
Much interest is manifest in the
work of the organization for the COM
ing year, and it is assured that no
pains will be spared to make the 1922
meetings valuable to the factory execu-
tives.
Annual Meeting State Association.
Better than ninety per cent of the
local manufacturing institutions were
represented at the annual meeting of
the Wisconsin Manufacturers Asso-
citation, held in Milwaukee on the 14th
and 18th of this month. President
Whyte attended all sessions, and while
the largest number of Kenosha repre-
sentatives were present on the evening
of the banquet there were a goodly
number on hand at all meetings. Added
| interest on the part of members is do
ing much to build up and strengthen
the state organization and the annual
meeting of 1921 proved both from at
tendance and program one of the best
in its history Fifteen local industries
