SAYS STILL WAS
NOT TREVANTY'S
LenzOni Asks to Plead
Guilty to Big Outfit
at His Home.
IN NEED OF OVERALLS
Raids Like the One at Lenzoni's
Take the Starch Out
of Clothes.

Sergeant Kirsch said this morning
that the next time he makes a raid
like the one Monday he wants to have
freman's equipment, hip boots, rub
Der coat, and underneath a pair of
overalls.
ga man spoils a good uniform on
trip like that" he complained.
"The city won't object to your buy
ing yourself a raiding outfit" COM
mented fellow officer who heard the
plant.
The damage to the sergeant's uni
form was done when he together with
his three assistants, Officers Wander
wahl, Ernest Radatz and Joe Beam,
destroyed 80 barrels of corn mash
found at the house of Tony Lenzoni,
125 Brockett street, Monday afternoon.
A large still was found there too, a
copper coil an inch and quarter in
diameter instead of the usual quarter
inch coil commonly found. In addition
about 70 gallons of moonshine was
found in three wooden barrels.
LenzOni Acts Sheepishly.
Tony Lenzoni, when arraigned in the
municipal court this morning, told
Judge Slater that he knew there was
nothing to do but plead guilty.
"Is that Tony Trevanty's outfit %
asked Captain Clausen.
Lenzoni hesitated moment and then
replied that it was not Tony Trevanty's
but his own.
"It won't do you any good to shield
Trevanty," said the captain.
care you citizen?" asked the judge.
GIVE taken out my first papers," re-
piled Lenzoni.
''You certainly have pile of GALL"
cried the judge. "You indicate your
desire to become United States citi-
zen and you are one of the most
fragrant violators of our law!"
Wife Turns White.
Sergeant Kirsch's squad made the
trip Monday afternoon and before they
had proceeded very far they had to
send for the paddy" to help bring the
outfit to the station. Officers McGiven
and Long responded and had their
hands full, bringing the dripping bar
rels and messy still back with them
to the police station.
When the officers arrived at the
house on Brockett street to make the
raid, Mrs. Lenzoni came running up the
steps from the basement in answer to
the ringing of the bell. She evidently
had expected to find neighbor and
when she saw the uniformed officers
her face turned white. She pretended
not to speak English, though the Off
GERS knew better.
"Man no home" she lisped. "Me no
understand"
The officers pushed past her and
went down cellar where they found the
distillery going full blast and more
evidence at hand than they could man
age with the small car. They spoiled
the mash by mixing it with coal ashes
and other refuse.
In addition to the violation of moon
shine making, the officers found that
Lenzoni was stealing gas. This is said
to be an offense common to all moon
makers. Frequently moonshiner has
had to reimburse the gas company for
sums of upwards of 500 in addition
to the fine paid in court.

, "The adoption of our five year con-
struction program" said Mr.. McGov-
ern, "means that we will not have a
large program one year, with its at
tendant employment of large groups of
workmen, and the next year have a.
small program, necessarily forcing US
to lay off many men. Instead, this
plan will provide steady and continu-
Gus work for construction crews, elm

London.-The death Of Horace Smith,
the Metropolitan police magistrate for
Is years at the Westminster Court,
will be regretted by a large number of
people here and in the Colonies.
Mr. Smith was more of friend and
kindly adviser than a stern admins
traitor of the law, and his advice to
first offenders was many times the
means of squirting them to fresh and
better efforts. Often he received let
ters from overseas announcing progress
in the new life, while other men whose
lives he had materially influenced for
good, never failed to call on him when
ever they returned to England

LUDENDORF BITTER in
DENOUNCING FRANCE
German General Claims That France
Intends to sect Rid of Germany
by Any Means Necessary.
(By CARL D. GROAT)

United Press Staff Correspondent.
Munich-"France wants to get rid
of Germany"
General Ludendorff, one of Ger
many's two most famous military lead
ers during the world war, thus ex-
pressed his view of the Ruhr occupa-
tion in an interview with the United
Press at his villa, overlooking Munich
valley, today.
The general, still symbolic to many
of his countrymen of Germany's lost
military glory and still expected to
lead a royalist revolt one of these
days, attacked French militarism and
accused the invaders of wanting to rid
the country of Clemenceau's twenty
million Germans too many"
For 200 years the French have
sought to ruin Germany" Ludendorff
said.
France, with a population not sur
passing 30,00O,0OO, first dispersed some
of our millions in giving Poland
Upper Silisia. Now she is proceeding
herself to absorb some millions, and
to get rid of others by letting part
of the population starve."
The general charged France wants
to grab Ruhr coal and war indus
tries to strengthen her self and
weaken Germany.
II am certain it is Frances inten-
tion to maintain her grasp on the
Ruhr as long as praticable-perma-
nently if possible"
Ludendorff secuted the suggestion
that the French, pushing into the Ruhr,
have run into a blind alley but limited
there might be unpleasant surprises if
Germany unity became complete.
"You can tell America and the world
that the last war was not a question
of German militarism, but of French
militarism. We simply defended our
selves against French ambition and
sought Longwy and Briey as points
necessary to our protection" Luden-
dorff said.
Il am sorry the American troops
have been withdrawn from the Rhine.
although l feel it was meant as a pro
test against France. But it only
helped and pleased them They now
have a more solid\ front, no body to
hinder them. They are pouring troops
through the Coblenz area"
Ludendorff said he had informed
General Allen that this was how Ger
man nationalist viewed the situation.

be so low that they cannot be refused.
The exact date for the event will
be announced within g few days;
preparations are now being made by
merchants all over the city to make
the day a great event.
Coming as this event will, in the
heart of the season with seasonable
merchandise to be offered, the re-
Spouse from the buying public should
be very large.
Further particulars and details will
be given through the columns of this
paper just as soon as they have been
definitely decided upon by the mer-
chants.

Maybe these lines are from the
Merry Wives of Windsor. Anyhow the
"cuckold case, or that Of the state
against Edward Schwartzewicz, has
come to an end. 1T was a strange
case, with much letting of blood, and
as the word "cuckold" was introduced
by the defense attorney r. V. Baker,
himself, there can be no quarrel with
it.
Friday afternoon Judge Belden, fol-
lowing the jury verdict finding
Scwartzewicz guilty of assault with
intent to do great bodily harm. upon
Ignatz Sometimes known as Tony
Wojnecz, sentenced the defendant to
six months in the county Jail at hard
labor. But wife mustn't get lonesome.
Judge Belden recommended to the
sheriff, however, that Scwartzewicz
be allowed to carry out the sentence
by working in the factory as before,
his wages collected and turned over
for the support of his family. In adj
dition the circuit judge strongly adj
vised that efforts be made to pro-
cure the man day work instead of the
night job he has been holding in the
past This was because, on the new
showing made to the judge, and the
admissions of the wife, Wojnecz and
Mrs. Schwartzewicz have been carry
ing on an intimacy for some time,
awaiting themselves of the fact that
the husband was away every night
employed in the factory. Wojnecz
was badly cut up and was drained
Of about buckle of blood when
Schwartzewicz slashed him with a
knife during a quarrel, said to have
arisen because the serpent had en-
tered the home.
Made a CuckOld of Him.
Attorney Baker, in an impassioned
argument before the court Thursday
morning, when he argued upon a mo-
tion for new trial, maintained that
Wojnecz, the complaining witness for
the state, had an interest in testify
ing because he had been Mrs. Sch
wartzewicz's lover and had made a
cuckold of the husband. The Judge
issued bench warrants for Wojnecz
and his witnesses charging perjury,
but these have been dropped on recon-
mendation of the district attorney
who ASSURED the court that the state
would be unable to prove this charge.
The new adjustment of the case
was found satisfactory to the de-
Tense and the motion for a new trial
was withdrawn before the judge pro
ceeded to pass sentence. The court
agreed that in the new light thrown
upon the Situation, it would not be
feasible to lock up the husband in
Jail, and throw his wife either upon
the support of the city or into the
arms of Wojnecz.
The divorce proceedings which have
been pending between the Schwartze-
VICES have meanwhile been dropped.
Mrs. Schwartzewicz was asked
Thursday evening by the defense
counsel in the presence of others if
