SEEK SPEEDY TRIALS
I'M HERRIN MURDERS
Attorneys Seek Agreement on Date
as Business Men Furnish
Bonds for Defendants.

Marion, Attorneys for the state
and defense were scheduled to hold a
conference with Judge Hartwell of
Williamson county circuit court today
to discuss setting date for the bring
ing to trial of the IA men, indicted
by the special grand jury which in
vestigated the % killings at the Les
ter strip mine near here, last June.
Speedy trials are expected to be
contended for by the state whose at
torneys have announced they are de-
sirous of opening the trial as soon as
possible. 1t was reported that late
October was being considered as the
date for the opening of the trials.
Eighty-six business men of the coal
mining district supplied $4,000 bond
for the men charged with murder, al
though merchants of Marion refused
without exception to sign any bonds.
This attitude on the part of the local
population is commented on as signi-
fcant in that it indicates that it will
be much easier to obtain juries to try
the men than had been anticipated

SENATOR WATSON
DIES SUDDENLY
Georgia Senator is Stricken at His
Home in Washington Early
This Morning.

Washington, D. G. - United States
Senator Thomas E. Watson of Georgia
died suddenly at his home here early
today Death was said to be due to
an acute attack of asthma, from
which Senator Watson had suffered
recurrently for some years.
Although failing health had inter
rupted Senator Watson's attendance at
Senate sessions frequently in the last
several months he was in his seat
Friday when the Senate adjourned
and his friends believed he was then
showing improvement. He was strick-
en- suddenly after dinner last night
and passed away shortly after three
o'clock this morning. He was 66 years
of age.
During the first year and half of
his term in the Senate to which he was
elected in 1920, Senator Watson gave
no indication of any impairment of
the vigor and activity which had mark
ed his long career in politics and as
a publisher
In his last speech in the Senate, de-
livered only week ago last Wednes-
day, the senator severely criticized
the administration for its course in
connection with the rail strike situa-
ton. His previous attacks on the adj
ministration and most notably his
charges of illegal hangings in the Am
erican expeditionary forces the sub
ject of exhaustive investigation by a
Senate committee, had made him con-
spicuous figure in the Senate body dur
ing his brief service there.
The body of the senator will be TAX
en- to his home at Thomson, Ga, to-
day at 3;15 o'clock. He had already
made reservations on train leaving
at that time to spend the COMPRESSION
al vacation at his home. The senator
| is survived by his widow and two
grandchildren.

Lakeland" Bound for Ke-
nOsha, Is Forced Into
Port at Racine.
ARRIVED HERE LATE
Reached Kenosha Five O'Clock
Monday Evening to Be
Loaded with Autos.

Kenosha shipping was affected by
the high seas for the first time this
season on Monday when the large
steamer Lakeland" which is engaged
in carrying automobiles from Milwau-
kee, Chicago and Kenosha to eastern
ports, failed to arrive on schedule.
The steamer was booked to reach Ke-
nosha on Sunday evening but did not
put into port until late Monday after
noon. Investigation revealed that the
big boat had been forced by the high
seas to seek shelter in the Racine
harbor. Reports from Racine declare
that it was with the greatest diff
ficulty that the boat was brought into
the harbor there.
At one time it was feared that she
would collide with the dock abreast of
the United States coast guard station,
on the north side of the harbor.
The value of the rubblemound
breakwater, on the south side of the
harbor, was demonstrated, as the
rocks, forming the crown, tore the
heavy sea so that they were rob-
bed Of their power.
Lakeland Thrown About.
1t was reported that the Lakeland"
was caught in the Worcester" on
Sunday afternoon and late in the
evening the wind grew steadily in
force, whipping the seas to gigantic
size. The large steamer was raised
high ON the seas and when darkness
came on, the captain decided to at
tempt to make port at Racine. 1t was
not until ten o'clock Sunday evening
that the steamer was able to land.
Monday morning the ship put out to
the open again and landed at Keno
sha late Monday afternoon. 1t was load
ed here with automobiles and set out
for Chicago later in the afternoon.
Gale Claims One Death.
This first storm of the fall, which
caught the Lakeland" was response
BILE for the loss of one life at Mil
waukee when a huge wave struck the
sloop Dolphin" which was cruising
off the south shore beach about noon
on Sunday.
The Dolphin" was being sailed by
the owner, Carl Neuman, there being
party of five young men aboard.
Gerald Reuter-, 10 years old, 800 Went
worth avenue, and William Doyle, aged
% years, ia Pennsylvania avenue,
Milwaukee, were swept from the deck
of the craft into the lake.
Newman managed to maneuver the
boat to the point where the young
men were swept into the water, but
not until Reuter- had disappeared be-
low the surface of the water. Doyle
came up and grabbed the gunwale.
and was saved.
On account of the heavy gale it is
believed the body of Reuter- will be
carried to Wind Point, north of Ra-
cine.

paid the fine without turning a hair,
having apparently made enough ''jack"
on moonshine to make him reckon such
penalty small one.
Nevertheless the man tried to beg off
before the sentence was imposed, as he
declared to the judge that two of the
stills found at the place were worn
out" He did not say how they came
to be worn out, but seemed to think
that the fact that they were worn out
rather than new ought to count for
something with him. In the next
breath he told the Judge that he had
only been making moonshine for two
weeks.
Raid Five Other Places.
The night sponge squad formed itself
INTO brigade Monday evening and
with all of the saloons of the city as
target, charged full tilt at the enemy
with lance in hand, like the knights of
old. Five forts fell under the on
slaught, although they contested the
attack to the bitter end and indicated
that they would not finally surrender
the flag without something of contest.
Of all the places raided during the
evening, the five where liquor was
found were those of Morris Schwartz
3Ol North Chicago street; Frank Per-
plgnani, 21S Rowland avenue; Felix
Ameche, 900 Park street; Frank Kuz-
mich, 622 Fremont avenue; and Leopold
Elenski, 521 Fremont avenue. At all
of the places with the exception of
Ameche, homerbrew was found. and at
Ameche's the police found wine.
How They Got Into Cellar.
The most spectacular raid of the day
however, was that of the Pielis home
at 80 Milwaukee avenue. Raiding the
place with Captain Clausen were Lieut.
Rock, DetectiveNMcCluskey and Sergt
Kirsch. The officers found nothing
suspicious on the place so far as the
upstairs was concerned and nothing
could be seen in the cellar. But as the
officers came through the kitchen again
the police captain thought the boards
| OF the flooring looked rather different
than the floor of his own kitchen at
home and he stopped to investigate.
A Real Trap Beneath.

were in one piece, or in other words
that the floor served as a door too. q

Burglar Who Robbed Host
Market at SiIverlake
Leaves Register.
FINGER PRINT CLUES
Sheriff and Police Secretary
This Morning Find Thief
Left His Tracks.

The discovery of cash register in
a refrigerator car on the railway side
track near Silverlake Monday night
brought some clue to the authorities
as to the burglar who broke into the
Host & Company meat market at Sill
verlake the night before, and this
morning Sheriff Rauen, Undersheriff
Knipfer and Police Secretary Emil
Meissner, made trip of investigation
to the village. 1t was found that the
burglar had left some footprints on
the sands of time in the shape of a
few beautiful finger prints on the
cash register, which Messiner lost no
time in lifting" off for Identification
purposes.
Burglar Got $50.
The meat market, of which Arthur
Host is proprietor, was entered some
time during Sunday night, but the
burglary was not discovered by Host
until Monday. Then he found that the
thief had not only entered the place
but had carried away the cash register
containing something over $50. Later
on Monday Host noticed that small
cart, which he kept in the rear OF, the
meat market was also missing, and he
concluded that his burglar friend had
used this handy vehicle for carting
away the register.
During Monday evening. some one
noticed the cart in the vicinity of the
sidetrack for freight cars some dist
ance from the village. This suggested
that perhaps the register itself was
somewhere around, and working on
this theory, a short search was re-
warded by the finding of the cash reg
lister in one of the refrigerator cars.
The burglar had not spent much
time after he opened the register in
the car, for many of the papers were
scattered about, and the thief had sim
ply taken the greenbacks, amounting
to fifty dollars, and departed. Prac-
tieally all of the accounts were left in
tact, but scattered with them in the
car was some small change, which the
thief had scorned.
The sheriff and his associates were
not so interested in the papers or the
change either, but devoted their atten-
ton to examining the clues left be-
hind by the burglar in his flight.
