Baptists Declare
for Nations League
Wisconsin Churchmen in Session Saw
Government Must Join the
League of Nations.
(By Associated Press LEASED w;re.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.}
Oshkosh.-Warning that the nations
of the world, America included" must
either permanently cooperate to estab-
fish Justice or must perish, and declar-
ing that the immediate formation of a
world association or League of Nations
is of vastly greater Importance to
America than any issue now dividing
its political parties, the Baptists bf
Wisconsin, in convention here Thurs
day, unanimously recommended that
"our government take measures al
once to bring our country into such
an association or league"
In support of their accommodation
they pointed out that in view of the
inhuman butcheries in Asia-Minor and
of the imminent threat of another
world war which may wreck civiliza-
tion, the Wisconsin Baptists declared
their conviction that the preseE. inter
national policies of suspicion, self
seeking and ultimate reliance on brute
force, are abhorant to the spirit Of
Christ and some step should be taken

of man.
On the heels of that resolution the
Baptists went on record urging the
next legislature to put on the statute
books an enabling act" which will
grant county boards the authority to
license, control or prohibit dance halls
pavilions and amusement parks located
outside of cities. They would also give
this board authority to prohibit boys
and girls under the age of 16 from
attending such places unless accom-
panied by responsible parties.
The resolution, unanimously adopted
along with the resolution of nations
project, emphasized that since the au-
tomobile and the development Of good
roads, the number of young people
visiting dance halls and the like has
greatly increased and delinquency has
in many communities become a seri-
Gus problem.
The churches were urged to survey
the amusement places in their respec-
tive communities.

Man is Kidnapped;
Gland is Stolen
Expert Surgeon Believed to Have Par
ticipated in First Human Gland
Theft in History.

Chicago, III. = Aroused over the
unique but frightful crime, the Chi
cago medical profession today volun-
teered to aid police in bringing to
punishment the expert surgeon be-
lieved to have participated in the first
human gland theft in history.
On a hospital cot lay the victim of
the robbery operation = Joseph Woz-
MAX, "a, a world-war veteran, who
came to Chicago recently with his
young wife from Forrestville, Wis.
Surgeons declared that the expert
ness with which the operation was
performed and the cleverness in
stitching the wound indicated clearly
that Wozniak was not kidnapped and
mutilated for revenge.
With the mans story, police and
examining surgeons agreed that the
vital gland taken from Wozniak as he
lay helpless under an anaesthetic was
stolen for an experiment in gland
transportation.
In slight danger of further suffer
ing from infection because of the
neatness of the operation, Wozhiak re-
lated ali he remembered of his ex-
perience. He said he talked of the
war with stranger he had met and
was on his way home from neighbor-
hood saloon when four men leaped on
him, threw bag over his head and
loaded him into an automobile. He
regained consciousness under a via
duet, he said, and staggering home,
summoned Dr. A. Sampolinski, whose
examination revealed for the first time
the full significance of his experience.

Children Opposed
to Gambler Wedding q

New Orleans.-Mrs. Onezima De Bou-
chel, who arrived here today, declared
that opposition to her marriage to Asa
G. Gambler Sir, Atlanta capitalist, on
the part of Gamblers children was due
to the fact that Gambler at the time
they were engaged had planned to
change his will so as to leave his en-
tire estate to her. "Mr. Gambler told
me that he planned to leave everything
to me-" Mrs. De Bouchel said. "This
he could do under the Georgia law. I
protested to him that I did not believe
that would be fair to the Gambler chill
dren and Mr.. Gambler replied that he
had already done enough for them"

Nine Bogus Checks Cashed
Here by Clever Pair
Of Swindlers.
AS BUSY HOUSEWIFE
Woman Fools Merchants by
Acting as If She Lad Just
run Over TO Store"

Beware Of the woman who comes to
your store. Mr. Merchant, wearing a
pair of house slippers and boudoir
cap, who seeks to cash a check for
perhaps the amount of twenty, thirty
CT forty dollars. Beware: for per-
haps she is one of the pair of mill
lion dollar check sharks, man and
woman, who have been operating in
Kenosha the past week. = All day TO-
day and all day yesterday the police
department was in receipt of com
plants from unfortunate Kenoshans
who had bitten"
As result nine checks were in the
hands of the police this noon, checks
which had been returned by the banks
upon whom they were drawn as "no
good" and still more were said to be
coming in The checks were made out
for sums of $50, SAG and other sums
up to $50.
KenoshaRs Let Of Easy.
In spite of the fact that a. number
of Kenosha people had been taken in
by the clever operators, advices which
the police department have received
from other cities, show that the check
thieves had only commenced their op-
erations here. From the count taken
elsewhere, it is said that the couple
have taken in about half a million
dollars among the lake shore towns.
The checks are of kind which the
casual observer would think "bomb-
proof" They are cleverly executed
and perfectly all right,-as paper. The
only drawback with them is that the
person to whose account they are
drawn has no funds, not so much as
copper ha-penny, in any of the banks.
Comes in House Dress.
The shrewd check swindlers have
gone SO far as to use check protector
on their bank checks, which still fur
Their gives correct color to their pro-
ceedings and heightens their air Of call
is we'll" Some of the checks which
have been used are those of the First
National bank of Lemont, III. The po-
lice learned that hardware store was
recently burglarized IN that city and
the thieves took with them among
other thing the, blank check books be-
longing to the firm.
In Kenosha operations of the couple,
it has been so far the woman who has
manipulated the cashing of the checks.
She played her several "fish" in clev-
er fashion. Wearing the housedress of
the busy housewife, house slippers and
boudoir cap, she appeared in several
stores in the city, purchased small
articles and gave check to be cashed
and payment for the purchases deduct
ed. The merchants imposed upon
were quite taken in by her evident air
of being cat home," and having just
"run over" to the store.

names of those who are out of pocket
by the proceedings out of considera-
ton for those who have swallowed
the hook, bait and all.
