SEARCHING SWAMP
FOR MISSING GIRL

Wausau, Wis.-Sheriff Art Siewert
and posse yesterday searched as care
fully as possible the large swamp and
forest near the home of Mrs. Mary
Lawando in the town of Kronenwetter
in an effort to find her step-daughter,
Mary Lawando, who has been reported
to have been seen in that vicinity sew
eral times since the murderous assault
on Mrs. Lawando as she was asleep in
her home on the morning of July 10th.
Some parts Of the swamp, which is
little more than large bog, could not
be reached by the searchers, but Mark
Hubbard in an airplane few over the
entire section and securd no clue that
there is or has been any living person
or thing in the darker parts of the
swamp. The officers, who have made
several previous searches, including
watching at night, are convinced that
the girl could not live in the swamp
because of the hordes of mosquitoes
and deer flies which make existence a
torture even in the daytime. They
also believe that if the person seen is
Mary Lawando, she is being protected
and cared for by friends, somewhere
outside this area.
Mrs. Lawando, who was sleeping with
young daughter, was attacked early
on the morning of July 10th and Sc
verely cut about the head and Shout
ders with small axe or Ratchet. None
of the twenty wounds were fatal and
Mrs. Lawando is recovering. An auto
mobile owned by the daughter was
found abandoned near the Lawando
home, this leading to the search for
the girl. Miss Lawando had been en-
ployed at Wausau, but left her board
ing place June Both and her personal
effects are still there. 1t is feared she
has lost her mind. When last seen in
Wausau she said she was going to take
an automobile trip up north.

FROM ALASKA TRAIL

Aboard President Harding's Special
Train, Alaska Railroad = Rest seem
ed today to have restored Mrs. Hard
ing from fatigue which yesterday led
President Harding to turn south over
the Alaska railroad from Fairbanks in
stead of following plan-cherished
by the Alaskans and enthusiastically
urged by Mrs. Harding-to proceed
back to the coast by automobile. Near
ly "a hours were passed by the presi-
Dental party in Fairbanks. the north
ern terminus of the railroad. The
president left there last evening great
ly impressed by the agriculture and
the mining of which that city, some
times called the Chicago Alaska is the
center but he was much disappointed
at missing the automobile trip. The
president attributed Mrs. Harding's ia
tigue to the earnest hospitality of the
Alaskans and to the long days at this
time of the year. This led to many
hours of activity with shortened peri
DDS of rest. The president told the
people of Fairbanks that Mrs. Harding
had been forced to go to bed, worn
out She had received several gifts
from the people of that city earlier
in the day.
The Fairbanks folk even remember
ed Laddie Boy, the presidents dog,
with a collar of moosehide decorated
with nugget gold and fossil ivory,

UNMATCHED EGGS
BRING HEAVY FINE
Head of Wisconsin Hatchery is Fined
for Throwing Them (on Madison
Dump Heaps.
lBy United Pressl

Madison, Wis.-Throwing unmatched
eggs on refuse heaps in Dane county
will result in the maximum fine and
Imprisonment under the humane law.
Judge A. c. Hoppman, superior court,
here gave out this warning in fning
w. C. Clack, president of the Wisconsin
hatchery for that offense.
Clack was let off with a fine of So
because the department of markets and
local poultrymen declared that this was
common practice of hatcheries thru
out the state. The state law for this
offense provides a fine of 500 or six
months in jail, or both. This practice
of throwing unmatched eggs which are
hatchable onto refuse heaps is cruel
and inhuman, Judge Hoppman declared.
The complaint against the Wisconsin
hatcheries head was made by the Madi-
son garbage collection department to
William Busse, state humance officer,
who caused Clack to be SUNNI oned to
court.

Bury ''Old Albert on
Saturday Afternoon
Former Steward of the Kenosha Elks'
Club Died at His Home in
Chicago on Thursday.

Albert Garrett, more familiarly
known to the members of the Kenosha
Lodge of Elks as "Old Albert" was
buried in Chicago on Saturday after
noon. Mr.. Garrett was seventy-fve
years of age and he had been in fail
ling health for some time. His death
came on last Thursday morning.
"Old Albert" came to Kenosha when
the Kenosha Elks opened the club room
on Wisconsin street and for more than
ten years he had charge of the club
rooms. His thoughtfulness for the
comfort of the members of the lodge
made him general favorite among
the Elks. When the new and bigger
Elks' home was built "Old Albert" gave
up his work, believing that the de-
mands of the new club would be too
great tax on his declining years.
For some time Kenosha Elks of the
old regime had shown an interest in
the former steward and they had of
fered many little kindnesses to make
the closing years of his life more
comfortable.

BLAINE VETOES
TWO MORE MEASURES
Minor Changes in the Statutes for
Land Mortgages Are Held As
Traps" For Error.
(By United Pressl

Madison, Mis-. Two bills making
minor changes in the statutes were
vetoed by Governor Blaine today.
One measure would have authorized
land mortgage associations to make
loans on other real estate than improv-
ed agricultural lands. All loans for
which bonds are issued by these COM
panies receive the approval of the
state treasurer. Bonds under this
class might have been issued on value
less tracts of land and apparently hav-
ing the endorsement of the treasurer
would have offered traps for the un-
wary, the governor said.
A bill forbidding the revisor of stat
utes to make any changes in the legal
substance of bills sent for revision was
also vetoed by the governor. ITO pro-
hibit the revisor of statutes from max
ing any changes whatever simply
means that the revisor of statutes can
not function"

10Y ASSOCldtSN AGoS 1FCaSSu ''AS'S
Fairbanks, Alaska = Having reach
ed the northern end of steel rail trans
portation President Harding proposed
today to go further into the interior
of Alaska by automobile. President
and Mrs. Harding and a portion of
their party will start from here on an
aut5laobile trip of ninety miles over
Richardson trail to McCarty on the
Tenana River. The ride will take
five hours 1t was originally planned
that the presidential party should go
over the trail 372 miles to Chitina and
there take the Copper River and
Northwestern Railroad to the port of
Cordova but the trip was abandoned
as too strenuous, much to the regret
of Mrs. Harding who has been urging
it.
AS now planned the party on reach
ing McCarty, will go aboard river
steamer and steam to Nenana where
on Tuesday evening they will board
train fora "a hour trip back over
the government railroad to Seward.
Secretary Wallace and Chief Greeley,
however, will make the entire trail
trip.
The presidential party arrived here
last night - last night in point of
time only for although it was
after 9 o'clock the sun still was shin
ing and it never go dark as the days
here are "a hours long.
The president while here visited the
Alaska agricultural college and school
of mines, the farthest north college
in tie world, which graduated its first
stuoent last June. Before he arrived
at Fairbanks, the president drove the
golden spike signifying completing of
the government railroad from Seward
through to Fairbanks in June. In a
brief address the president said he
was happy thus to honor such monu-
mental engineering work and pail
high tribute to Colonel Mears and
other builders.
The port of Valdez has been added
to the presidents southwark itinerary
from Seward.
The gridiron club, the national cap
itars famous organization of corre-
spondence held the farthest north
meeting in its history last night here
in the land of he midnight sun, 100

members of the organization from the
American correspondents accompany

ticipated in by nearly one fifth the

TOSAVE HUGE SUM
ON HOME TAXES
Officials Figure Out What
Will be Cost of Home
stead Exemption Law.
CITIES MUST REVAMP


Madison, Wis.-About $4,000,000 will
be saved to the $4,000 home owners
in Wisconsin under Senator o. H. John
sons bill exempting $500 on the value
of homesteads from taxation, signed by
Governor Blaine. This is the statement
of John Harrington, inheritance tax
counsel for the Wisconsin tax commits
sion, given out today.
A slight increase of to 4@o on other
property will result as an Offset to the
81, 100000 in taxes which will be saved
for the small property owner, the
statement said.
"While the saving of $40 to SIS to a
small home owner is very small, yet
it is something; it will buy ton of
coal or two barrels Of -four" Harring-
ton explained. On home worth from
$1,000 to $4,000 the tax exemption
would amount to $40 or $15
In few years the exemption will be
increased to $1,000 or $1,000, it is Har-
rington's hope. "It will appeal to the
farmers and to the small and medium
home owners in the cities. If it re-
suits in the building Of more homes,
that of itself will furnish additional
employment to builders, material men
and workers, and thus enable them to
buy more freely from the farmers"
Increase Rate on Some.
On expensive homes the exemption
will be offset by an increased rate on
the unexempt value. On home worth
$4,000 the increased rate and the eX-
emption would practically balance each
other, making no change in the exist
ing tax rate.
The purpose of the bill was to en-
courage home owning. National census
figures show that only about one-half
of the homes in the country are owned
| by their occupants.
Another benefit claimed by the sup
porters Of this measure is that the tax
es saved to the small home owners will
be shifted most largely to land values,
since land values constitute the larger
part of the taxable property of the
state The effect of increased taxes on
land is to depress its market value,
thus again aiding the BODYBUILDING by
placing lots at lower figure. This is
probably the most constructive and
progressive piece of legislation passed
at the recent session." Harrington s
statement concludes.

FOUR MEN TRY
T0HOLD UP CAR
Illinois Motorists Report
Attempted HoId-up Sun
day Night.
BANDITS GET AWAY

There was not anything more serious
to confront the police and sheriff
Offices over the weekend than an at
tempted hold-up which occurred Sunday
night, and at the telephone desks at
the two offices the watchers at mid
night Sunday reported "All's we'll"
The attempted hold-up which oc-
Cured was just sufficient to warn the
officials that the fatsom and jetsum of
banditry is looking to the Kenosha
county highways for a little summer
loot from unsuspecting motorists who
carry a ''wad," and is enough to tight
en- the lines of patrol on all the high
ways.
Happened on the Birch Road.
At 1890 p. m. Sunday night Under
sheriff Joseph Knipfer, on duty at the
desk in the sheriff's Office in the con-
tinued absence of Sheriff Pabst, re-
ceived a call from motorists stating
that holdup had just been staged
which failed in its attempt.
According to the man who made the
report, who did not give his name, his
car bearing an Illinois license was
travelling along the Birch road, when,
just off the Birch road, four men
jumped out of the shadow of the way
side and ordered "Fists up!"
The Illinois travellers speeded their
car and escaped without injury from
the bandit quartet.
After receiving the call, Under
sheriff Knipfer called the police and
accompanied by two police cars, he and
Chief Logan searched the neighbor-
hood where the attempted hold-up was
said to have taken place, but found
no one and the highway quiet.
The man who reported to the Under
sheriff that bandits attempted to hold
him up gave his name as Harrison
Plaster of Waukegan.

trio responsible for ten robberies, ac-
cording to information received this
morning by Secretary Meissner, who
has charge of the records for the local
police department.
Caught After Hard Fight.
The chase between the coppers and
the alleged bandit trio offered one of
the thrills along the lake shore in Chi
cago Friday. Young Curran and his
two companions were caught after an
automobile chase that ended in gun
fight. Sixty shots were exchanged be-
tween the three in ambush and the po-
lice who bore down upon them, but
after the three suspects were trapped
in blind alley in the rear of the Surf
Hotel, they surrendered.
Young Curran and his two pals were
identified as three hold-up men re-

ten robberies and were identified in

used by Young Curran when speeding
was owned by his father, Thomas Cur
