injured Sunday when the kitchen stove

force that the stove was blown to bits
and great holes blown in the roof and
floor All the windows in the house
were broken.
Frank Nahodil, neighbor, was ar

70 rifle cartridge. Mrs. Stepan was
blown into the cellar by the force of
the explosion and died while being
taken to hospital here.

New York.-Draper Daugherty, son
of the attorney-general, has agreed to
come to Asst. Dist. Atty. Fred Peeora's
office this afternoon and tell what he
knows about the Dorothy King case,
Pecora told the United Press. The eX-
act hour at which the young man vii!
appear has not yet been fixed, but it
will probably be late in the day.
Daugherty, according to a published
interview which was brought to Peco-
ra's attention, was friendly with the
broadway butterfly" who was found
chloroforned in her apartment March
10Th. However, there was nothing
about their friendship which Daugherty
desired to conceal. A blackmailer tel
ephoned Daugherty and threatened to
reveal his acquaintance with the model,
the interview said. Daugherty, hav-
inc nothing to hide. defed the black
mailer. Pecora believes that if the
Young man will supply the name of the
person who telephoned, it may be the
connecting link that will lead to arrest
of the blackmail gang which is sus-
pected of having slain Miss King be-
cause she refused to join their plot
against j. Kearsley Mitchell, Philadel-
phia millionaire.
With regard to reports that E. 7.
stotegbury, wealthy father-in-law OF
Mitchell, would come here to aid in
clearing up the mystery, Pecora SAID
that he had had no word from Stotes-
bury, but if the latter desired to con-
fer with him. he would be glad to re-
ceive him at any time.

MQuiring Reporter
T0nAY,S QUESTION.

What in your opinion is the one
thing that Kenosha needs most?
THE ANSWERS:
w. Kaufman, Main and Wisconsin
Streets, pop corn dealer: l think that
one thing Kenosha COULD have is a
nice big amusement park. There are
many large cities that have them. It
would furnish some place for the cit
liens to go for amusement, so athey
wouldn't have to go out Of town in
order to get amusement.
Miss I. Reith, Elks Club, asst to
secretary: About the one thing that
Kenosha needs more than anything else
is a hotel. We haven't got first
class hotel in town outside of the
Elk's Club. Thousands of tourists
pass up Kenosha yearly because there
are no good hotel accommodations
here. They go on to Chicago and Mil
waukee in preference.
Miss Berens, News employee: I can't
answer that question very we'll because
I don't know any one thing. There
are loads of things that Kenosha needs
badly. Schools, think, are at the
head of the list though.
Miss S. Krisses, CTS Prairie street:
A new high school is about the most
important thing that we need at the
present time. The old one is about
ready to cave in any day now. People
have to walk on the stairs in limited
numbers SO that they won't collapse.
The sooner we get a new school, the
better.

FIGHT TO GO TO
SUPREME COURT
Stewart in Behalf of Bar
nett Files Notice of APP
peal from Order.
NO REQUEST FOR STAY
Lawyers Keep Balls Tossed in
/. the District Attorney
Contest.

With Frank S. Symmonds still bonn
Barnett as prosecutor by virtue of GER
tifcate of election, and with Barnett
defending the title which Symmonds
claims as his, there appears to be no
let-up or truce in the district attorney
contest. The most recent legal move
has been played by Calvin Stewart,
representing Barnett as counsel, who
has just filed notice with the clerk
of the circuit court that appeal is be-
ing made to the supreme court.
The appeal of Barnett through coun-
sci is made from the order of Judge
Belden's over-ruling the demurrer and,
opening the doors of the court to Sym
monds with his case in contest. The
defense still contends that Symmonds
had no case in court, that is that his
complaint in quo warranto did not
state sufficient facts to constitute
grounds for action.
Appeal is Consistent.
Consistent with this position on the
part of the defense, Mr.. Barnett's at
torney still holds that the demurrer of
his to Mr.. Symmonds' complaint should
have been sustained by the court.
Therefor the appeal from the rul-
ing of the judge to the supreme court.
The defense in appealing, hopes to get
favorable recognition by the supreme
court to the end that the ruling on
the demurrer. viii be set aside This,
stage of the contest therefor still
RACES around the question of whether
Mr.. Synmonds will get into circuit
court with his case.
May Ask for Stay.
District Attorney Barnett represent
ing the defense in the action has not
yet, except informally, asked for stay
of proceedings until the appeal is
settled, but it is expected that form
al request for stay will follow.
This will probably be the next move
in the case which resembles highly
diverting chess game, for moves and
countermoves have filled the board
for some time, with no certainty Of
when either side will be able to look
up victor and cry triumphantly,
"Check-mate!"

Paris While various interpreta-
lions may be put in the note the re-
paration commission is sending to
Germany in connection with her for
eign currency loan issue, the correct
one, according to some of the best
informed circles is that it holds in
substance that there is no question
of the German governments right. to
offer the loan, but that there does
exist question as to the security it
may give.
The text of the note, prepared by
Sir John Bradbury of England, and
NJ Delairoix Of Belgium, calls atten-
ton to Article 248 of the treaty of
Versailles, defining priority rights in
PREPARATIONS and continues:
"The commission makes express re-
serve as against, subscribers to the
loan, of its right of priority against
any funds which may be assigned by
the German government to the pay
pent of interest or the repayment of
capital to the loan in question, more
particularly if the receipt itself is
not applied to the discharge of re-
paration annuities."
French Position Modified.
1t is affirmed that the original in
tention of the French was to prevent
the launching Of the loan with a guar
antee by the Reichsbank, but now
that the loan is said to be but sixty
per cent subscribed the original
French position has been temporarily
modified.
AS to The effect the note Swill have,
it is contended that the whole repara-
ton problem has been put in the melt
ing pot by the presence of France
and Belgium in the Ruhr, and that
when the eventful settlement comes,
such sweeping changes may be made
that the present note may be lost
sight of in the general re-arrange-
ment.
In any case, the British position Of
benevolent neutrality towards the
Franco Belgian occupation of the Ruhr
was in no manner altered, it is de-
clared by the discussion engaged in
before the sending of the present
note.
