pleted. However, it was Learned
that the type of meter USED IN tne
borough of Carteret, is only uSea on
a high pressure system, ana tnese
meters are all controlled by gov
arnor' which regulates the flow OF
gas when the pressure becomes 100
high. A different type of meter is

Mr.. Spencer OF the Farmers Bureau
Cotton Association discussed the
necessity of each farmer getting m
to this great movement, whlch IS
destined to place the business OF co.,
ton farming on the same mgr, plane
with the most important OF the ma
tons industries. Although at TINS
time only slight interest has been
manifested in this section. IN other
parts of the State and throughout the
south the movement is making RAPID
Roadway, and in many parishes is a.
ready functioning organization we
hope to see our farmers line up with
the movement, and not only he!p
themselves, but every cotton farmer IN
the south to get the price to which
he is entitled for his product.

MIXED IN WEST SIDE FEUD LAST FALL
The Iaquinta, Wanted for Nearly Year in Connection
With the Shooting Of Frank Chiappet,
Arrested Sunday Night wa

feeling, it was said. There was some
rumor also of a woman in the case"
Summary of Events.
There. were SO many shooting ARRAYS
on the west side within few months
last fall that it is rather difficult to
detach the one from the other. They
were all believed to be linked in the
same feud and for the sake of clarifi-
cation are tabulated as follows:
1. On September 7, 1921 at II p. M,
Frank Iaquinta No. I and John Klous,
IT'S Brockett street, were shot at from
ambush on the corner of Rowland ave-
nue. and Garden street. A shotgun was
used and most of the shot lodged in a
big plank, thus saving the mems lives.
The police believed that the bullets
were intended for Iaquinta and not for
Klous. On October 20, 1921, Klous at
tempted suicide.
2. On Sunday noon, November 27,
place at the corner of Rowland avenue
and Pearl street. Frank Chiappetti,
904 Park street, was shot and wounded
during the time fusillade of shots
was exchanged between himself, a
friend, and two others, believed by the
police to be Frank Iaquinta No. I and
Tom Iaquinta. Chiappetti recovered.
The police failed to find the Iaquintas.
8. The following Tuesday night, No
vember 20 1921, at 8 p. M, Frank
Iaquinta No. II, 1902 North Rowland
avenue, was shot and instantly killed
at the corner of Rowland avenue and
Garden street. Frank Iaquinta II was
a cousin Of the Frank Iaquinta l for
whom the police were looking. At the
time Of the killing Frank Chiappetti
the victim Of the Sunday shooting was
recovering from the effects of his
wound at the Kenosha hospital. Lawr-
ence Vetere was later arrested and
charged with aiding and abetting the
murder of Iaquinta II but was dis
charged after a preliminary hearing
before Judge Tully on December %,
1921, the evidence being held INSULT
cient.

Kenosha Attorney Who is Being Urged
to Again Make the Race for Congress
as Democratic Candidate.

They proposed to me up at the Mil

date for congress-" continued Mr..
Stewart, "but l told them that I had
no political ambitions along that line.
You know how it is-they urge you to
run for an Office and then all Of them
lay down and DO nothing"
No Other Candidate Suggested.
1t was admitted that there had been
no other candidate suggested for the
Democratic nomination Sometime ago
it was noised about that Villas Whaley
of Racine might be brought into the
race to contest with Congressman
Cooper for the Office, but Mr.. Whaley
gave no encouragement to the move
ment
eff they are just looking for a space
filler" suggested Mr.. Stewart, 81 am
willing to permit the use of my name,
but if it is used, it must be with the
understanding that am not going to
turn my hand over in the campaign.
l am not going to waste lot of time
and money and do all the work just
to keep the Democratic ticket filled up.
The Democrats should have an organi-
zation and candidate, but candidate
without an organization would be of
little value"
