ADDICTS USED TO
 DECOY DRUG RING
Authorities Work From Within to Clear Up Tampa Traffic Majoring
 on Morphine

TAMPA, Fla, April II. - Federal agents, working to wipe out the drug traffic passing through Tampa, which has been suspected of being of gi- gantic proportions, have been able to work from the inside of the local drug ring by arresting addicts and using them as decoys. These agents, who are busy night and day, claim they have largely broken up the traffic here.
 An actress, whose name has been given out as Peggy Miller" has been used in this way for some time, but when it was learned that she was double-crossing the authorities she was thrown into the city jail, where she attempted suicide four times. 1 The first attempt was made with bichloride of mercury tablets. An of ficer was close enough to seize he1 hand before she was able to swallow them. The second attempt, discovered by another prisoner, was when the girl tore her bed clothing into strips and tried to hang herself in moose suspended from the top of the cell. She then took pocket mirror, broke it into bits with the heel of her shoe and claimed to have swallowed the pieces. This escapade was doubted by the police, inasmuch as she showed no ill effects. A little later she tried to sever an artery with piece of glass. Having been disarmed of everything which could be used to end her life, the girl begged to be sent to her home in New York and to be given cure !! for the morphine habit. Arrangements were made for her to do this.
 Meanwhile Federal agents are using other decoys, one of whom was for mer dope peddled, whose body is a mass of sores resulting from the ire quent application of the needle. It is said that the Federal agents are at present devoting more time to sup pressing the morphine traffic than to any other one line of activity under their jurisdiction.

ALIENS BECOME CITIZENS
 WITH LABOR BUREAU AID

WASHINGTON, April II. More than 1,500,0O0 aliens eligible for Amer. ican naturalization already have been directed to citizenship training classes established by local school authorities throughout the United States in co. operation with the Bureau of Natural ization of the Department of Labor. The classes are conducted at night, and enable the aliens not only to ob- tain free the educational training nec- essary for approval of their citizenship petitions, but also to get information that will lead them to better jobs, higher pay and improved living condi- tions.
 The Bureau has established ser vice through which candidates for citizenship are invited to attend the classes provided by local authorities for their instruction, and their names
 r' 'ressns also are forwarded to the public school officials. The num- Der of foreign residents thus reach ed, it is said, is necessarily limited to those who have declared their inten- teion to become citizens, since the Labor Department lacks the names and addresses of thise who have not filed petitions. It is believed, never theless, that free instruction facili- ties have been made available to many others through measures taken by local Americanization organizations, Boy Scouts, Young Mems Christian As sociations, chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and other patriotic and civic societies.
 Cards giving the records of the aliens attending the classes, bureau of- ficials declare, add to the value of the work from a public viewpoint in that they give basis for complete com munity surveys to determine needs in Americanization work.
 The bureau receives almost daily letters from candidates for citizenship and Americanization workers praising the service, and also gets a number of reports on the work of aliens taking advantage of the courses. Some of these reports, it is said, show the prog ress made by candidates over 60 years of age who had resided in this coun- try many years without taking steps to become citizens.

Students to Edit
Weekly Newspapers
Stats from School of Journalism to
Take Over Five State Papers
for a Week.
(By Associated Press


Madison, Wis.--Five Wisconsin week
ly newspapers will be entirely edited
ard published by groups Of students
from the, University of Wisconsin
course in journalism during the week
of April 4th to 18th. The papers which
will be taken over by the students are
"The Rice Lake Chronotype," "The
Burlington Standard mocrat," "The
Algoma Record Herald" ''The Prairie
du Chen Courier" and "The Darlington
Republican-Journal."
The idea of putting students COM
pletely in charge Of newspaper was
suggested to the department of journ-
alis9n last year by H. E. Howe, editor
of the Prairie du Chen Courier, who
volunteered to turn over his paper
Two groups Of students were sent to
the paper two successive weeks who
edited the paper according to their
own ideas. The experiment proved to
be 50 successful that seven editors this
wear offered the students an opportuni-
ty to take over their papers, only five
of which could be accepted. The stu
dents who will make those field trips
are members of the class in community
newspapers. They will gather all the
news, write the editorials, secure the
advertising, and make up the paper. In
fact they do all of the work connected
with the publishing of the paper ex-
cepting the setting Of the type and
the running of the presses.

Secrecy Ban to
be Lifted Soon
Veil of Secrecy Over State Income Re-
ports Lifted This Week if
Governor Signs Bill.

by Associated PRESS Leased Wlre.J
Madison, Wis.-Secrecy that in the
past hasmsurrounded income tax re-
turns will be removed within the next
two weeks and the earnings Of indi-
viduals and CORPORATIONS in Wisconsin
opened to the public, providing Cover
nor Blaine signs the H. J. Severson
bill, calling for repeal of the secrecy
clause to the income tax law. This
measure, after four years of contro-
versy that reached its climax during
the last political campaign, is now up
for final passage in the assembly,
after successfully getting through the
senate.
With an overwhelming majority al
ready recorded in it's favor by lower
house members who engrossed the re-
peal BILL it's passage is taken for
granted when it is reached on the
calendar this week. Governor Blaine
will then have six days in which to
sign the proposal.
His signature will remove the ban
that in the past has kept tax returns
on incomes, away from public scrutiny.
1t will mean the redemption of the
first campaign pledge made by the
Progressive Republicans in the last
campaign. Those who have opposed
the measure on the ground that it
would open the way for INSCRIPTIONS
use of information by newspapers and
individuals, will have lost their fight
that was successful in staving off ac-
tion since the 1919 session.
Governor Blaine promised substan-
tial results from the removal of the
secrecy clause, when he urged its re-
peal in campaign speeches preceding
the September primary and the No
vember general election. It's effect
will be watched carefully by the tax
commission and by those who have
opposed the repeal.

Report for 1922 Shows Kenosha Water Plant
Was Operated With S4,281.14 Profit
and Maybe More.
HAS PUMPED UP SMALL SIZED LAKE
Report Reveals Vast Amount of Water Pumped at Sta
ton and Amount of Increase in Water
Pipes Laid in City.

Imagine a big swimming tank three
fourths of mile square and filed to
a depth Of ten feet! Or imagine the
amount of water needed to give the
entire city Of Kenoshs bath two feet
deep, This, according to Director Of
Public Works Peter Hurtgen repre-
sents the amount of water which was
pumped during the year 1922 at the
water station of the city of Kenosha.
This was one of the many interesting
things revealed in the report of the
water department for the year ending
December 81, 1922, which report was
filed this morning with City Manager
G. M. Osborn.
The total number of gallons pumped
was 1,760,260,000 with 62,606,350 gal
Ions of this used as wash water at the
filtration plant giving>a total of 1897
653,650 gallons pumped through the
distribution system. This means that
there was an average daily per capita
consumption of 100 gallons or a total
each day Of 4,822.6 $50 gallons. This is
q. slight decrease over the total for
1921, which decrease is accounted
for in leakages which have been re-
paired during the year.

Order from Headquarters Directing

uance of Half Holiday.

Orders have been received from
Washington by Postmaster James Cor
man of Kenosha which will bring about
considerable change in postal service
throughout the country and which af-
fects the Kenosha post Office. The
cause of it all is that the annual ap-
preparation allowed by congress for
the fiscal year, July l, 1922 to June 80
1923, to employ auxiliary and substi-
tute help is so nearly exhausted that
no more money is available for this
purpose during the months of April
May and June.
Postmaster German has been ordered
to cut wherever possible and for this
reason will be forced to discontinue
thu practice of granting half holidays
on Saturdays. More drastic cuts thar
this have been made in Racine, where
it was necessary to discharge some OF
the postal clerks and to make drastic
changes in the service. The service to
patrons in Kenosha will remain I'M

available to prove that wolf bounty has
been claimed and paid on the scalps of
dogs, foxes,~y raccoons, woodchucks,

skins from a furrier, soften them by
soaking in water, smear them with
fresh blood and present them TO the
proper official. Coyotes scalps were
presented as those of wolves in many
cases. Other cases consisted Of wolves

of the large amount paid. The state
