Fine All Paid
Back in KenOsh0

One of the first to wipe the slate
clean so far as he is concerned regard
ing the grand jury indictments and
accompanying prison sentences, is D.
T. bud" McOwen, who is back in Ke-
nosha today, having served out his
sentence and paid his fine.
Tuesday afternoon the total fine of
$3,508.45 with costs was paid and
Judge Belden issued an immediate re-
lease. McOwen left the house of cor
rection Tuesday afternoon and arrived
in Kenosha early last evening. The
official order from the house of cor
rection stating that his sentence there
had been terminated, was received by
the clerk of the circuit court this
morning. McOwen served approx
mately eighty days.
There was some question as to
whether the time which he had served
applied on his fine or on his Jail sent
ence, but these difficulties were ironed
out by the order issued by Judge
Belden.

year old bride, formerly the wealthy

last February At the Russian Cathe-
dral in this city.
The sequel, which broke in upon the
Vonsiatsky-V privacy after
they had taken up their residence in
Ridley Park near Philadelphia, devel-
oped from Paris. Gable dispatches
quoted women as claiming to have
wed Vonsiatsky-Vonsiatsky in the
Russian Cathedral at Yalta in the Cri-
mea, in 1920 although the claim had
been made that it was illegal because
the bride never had been baptized. She
was alleged to have asked the Russian
Catholic metropolitan in America to
investigate the ceremony performed
here.
Efforts to reach the metropolitan to-
day were unsuccessful and the bride
groom refused to talk for public.

alleged government Irregularities in
war contract inquiries to a member of
congress made public today through
Representative Johnson of South Da4
kota, Republican, in an open letter to
Daugherty. "It is particularly crafty
ing to me to note" he wrote, chat you
did not feel warranted or have the
moral courage to charge me with dis
loyalty to the government" Declaring
his conception of loyalty was protec-

circumstances, Mr.. Watts added:
"When combination of certain gov
eminent officials and other common
crooks have been assaulting and raid
ing the public treasury on a scale so
gigantic as to be almost unbelievable
..... you have seen fit in the prosecu-
ton of the war graft cases to deprive
the government of the services of men
who have served their country in both
peace and war and to surround your
self in this great work by men who
sought and secured exemption from
military service when these crimes
were being committed"

animation.

MQuiring Reporter
TODAY'S QUESTION:

Do you think that dogs should be
shot for lack of payment of dog tax?
ANSWERS:
J. Knapp, 900 Willow street, mer-
chant - 1t is against all Of the prin-
ciples upon which humanity is founded
to kill a poor defenseless dog just be-
cause his master cannot afford to pay
a measely little dog tax. There are
plenty of good things in this world
that dogs do and no one can say that
they are handicap to anyone or any
thing because they are allowed to live.
We don't destroy an automobile if the
license isn't paid for. We fine the
owner. Save the bullets for the boot
leggers and the other law breakers.
L. Kerr, $50 Racine avenue, director
i don't think they should be shot
They have as much right to live in
this world as any other animal. Send
stray dogs out on farm and put them
to work. They can be helpful. Or adj
vertise for somebody to adopt the dog
like your paper has done. / admire
the spirit Of that article in last nights
paper.
\ Mrs. Owen NJ, Market street - It is
a pity that there is an ordinance in
Kenosha that orders the police to shoot
dogs that haven't license tags around
their necks. If men and women would
only remember the many articles we
read in the papers where dogs do such
heroic things, we might have more
mercy on them. We have two dogs
around our home that no one seems
to own or care for. I feed them every
day, and they are real friendly.
James 0. Tanner, .Wausau, tourist
I'm surprised that town as large as
Kenosha hasn't dog pond or some
place where they put stray dogs. Why
we've passed through towns where
we've seen dogs pulling teddy wagons.
They're certainly, more useful alive
than dead.

Thirty-six Missing at Fl. Worth.


Fort Worth, Texas hirty-six per-
sons. are dead or missing in the
Trinity river flood here, revised
list indicates.
Rapid recession of the flood waters
of the Trinity river here this morning
was relieving the danger of additional
damage and loss of life. Although
more than two inches of rain fell last
night bringing the total rainfall here
to 1859 inches during the past thirty
six hours, the Trinity was receding
rapidly and the worst of the danger
was believed past. The river stage
this morning was 1877 feet, a drop
Of nearly six feet from yesterdays
maximum.
Street Commissioner Gilvin an
nounced that the city will have water
service restored by tonight. Many
dwellings that were inaccessible yes
terday have emerged from the flood
today until they may be reached dry
shod. The flooded area near the pack
ing houses has been reduced by several
square miles. Little water is left be-
tween the railroad tracks on North
Main street and 10th street.
Houses are Piled up against the en-
bankments Of the railroad bridges that
span the river east Of the Samuels
avenue viaduct. Many were smashed.
The Van Zandt school has been
turned into a first aid station for the
relief of homeless.
Fort Worth today was surrounded on
three sides by sheet of water ex-
tending over an area estimated at 25
to 80 square miles.
On the north the water extends from
the court house to the limits of North
Fort Worth, about two miles. The
eastern area is from the Rock Island
railroad tracks to Riverside, about one
mile. This area is about 80 blocks
from the business district of Fort
Worth. The water on the western
boundary of the city extends from the
Van Zandt diaduct about Ia blocks
from down town, to the Van Zandt
school, distance of about one mile.
The property damage will be about
one million dollars, according to es-
Inmates today.

Genoa - There have been so many
thrills in rapid succession at the eco
nomic conference that everybody, dele
gates and laymen alike, today are won
dering what will come next.
The Italian statesmen, as sponsors
of the conference, were Joined by Mr..
Lloyd George, M. Barthou, M. Theunys
and the leaders of the lesser states in
fervently hoping that the sensations
had ended and that something might
really be done about Russia, the su-
preme remaining subject for discus
sion. To that, of course, should be
added Lloyd Georges ambition for the
birth of an all-European accord that
the nations shall not attack one an
other or commit any aggression which
! 'ould excite attack.
Give Russians New Chance
The allied and neutral powers seem
determined to give the Russians an
other chance to come to terms, and
there is hope that the crisis brought
on by the Soviet's latest demands will
pass.
Mr.. Lloyd George, particularly, ap-
preciates the difficulties in the way of
the Russians relinquishing the practic-
al doctrine of the naturalization of
property, which incarnates the very
fundamental of the Bolshevik preach
ings and efforts may be made to settle
the question of the status of private
property in Russia so that the COM
munist leaders may "save their faces"
on their pet principle.
Genoa's population has lost none of
it's gaiety and none of its lively in
terest in the sessions of the confer
ence.
The absence of disorder has Gained
the apprehensions of the authorities,
and no. longer are heavy bodies of
troops to be seen in the streets, al
though reserves are conveniently near
at hand, being stationed on troop ships
moored at the water front.
Guards Protect Conference.
On the main thoroughfares, /Italy's
imposing carabineers stand guard, one
every Is feet. American who attend
ed the Washington conference COM
pare this picture with the absence of
both the military and police which was
remarked at Washington.
