Continue Argument
of Building Height

Madison, Wis.-Arguments were be-
gun before the supreme court on Wis
consin's new height of buildings law
late Friday and will be confined today.
Inasmuch as there are three separate
cases to come before the court it is
thought that attorneys will not have
completed their arguments until late
today. The Wisconsin Realty company
is asking permission to add another
story to hotel in Green Bay which
would be in violation of the law. The
Wisconsin Telephone company desires
to add several stories to their build
ing in Milwaukee which make it in
excess of 125 feet the height set by
the law, and Piper Brothers, Madison
firm, want to build hotel which would
be higher than the limit set by law.

SEARCH HERE FOR
MISSING HEIRS
Heirs to 100000 Estate of
Thomas Doyle May be
Residing Here.
HAD RELATIVES HERE

Somewhere in Wisconsin and posi-
bly, in the city of Kenosha are living
the heirs to an estate of 100000, ac-
cording to communication received
in this city today inaugurating' a
search for the missing relatives. The
estate is that of Thomas Doyle, who
died in Chicago leaving nearly half
million dollars, to be divided among
his heirs. The search now being con-
Quoted is to locate the descendants of
John Doyle and Margaret Mckee
Doyle, the parents of the deceased
who emigrated from Ireland about
the year 1880.
1t is believed that there are rela-
tives of the deceased in Wisconsin
who in all probability would be des-
cendants of sister or brother of John
Doyle, the father of the deceased.
Father Visited Here.
Attorney L. o. Theme, of Chicago,
who is conducting the search for the
missing heirs, stated that the reason
that the search was extended to Wis
consin was that there was authentic
information that John Doyle, father
of the deceased, visited a sister someA
where in southern Wisconsin in the
seventies. Also Thomas Doyle, the
deceased, was born in Wisconsin in
1888, giving indication that the family
had lived in this state shortly after
coming to America.
Any information regarding probable
heirs of the estate will be gladly re-
ceived by the attorney mentioned
above.

Preston Love and Mrs. ].
Booth Bound Over After
Preliminary Hearing.
LOVE BACK TO JAIL
Love Held in Bondage when
Unable to Furnish Bonds while
Mrs. Booth Is Released.

The alleged Illicit love affair of
Preston Love, and Mrs. Jean Booth,
who had been living in Kenosha as
Mcbride since March, was aired in the
municipal court today before Judge
John C. Slater. Both were bound
over to the October term of the
circuit court
Love was held in $1,000 bond in de-
fault of which, he was remanded to
the county jail until his trial date in
the higher court, while bonds of $500
were furnished for Mrs. Booth, who
was released. A plea was made that
the woman's bonds be reduced to $500
in order that she might make a pay
ment on a car which was purchased
on time payments, but this was re-
fused. 1t was said that unless she
was able to make the payment, she
would loose the machine in which
she and Love made their higara from
Galesburg, Ill.
Detective Charles Rock testified that
on the night of September 10, he, in
company with Assistant Chief John
Cyzak and Detective John Breidt,
went to the frees love establishment
at 500 Pomeroy street. Love answered
the knock and when asked if his name
was Love admitted it, the detective
said Mrs. Mcbride" sleeping in an
other room was awakened and when
Love was asked if her right name
was Booth, he answered in the af-
firmative.
At police headquarters Love, the
detective testified, readily admitted
that he had left his wife in Gales
burg because he couldn't live with her,
and had eloped with Mrs. Booth, his
affinity. The arrest was made, the de-
tective said, upon orders received
from the states prosecutor in the
Illinois town. A check of the car
license which stood in front of the
Pomeroy street house, showed that it
had been issued to Mrs Booth.
Wife Takes Stand.
Mrs Love, the legal wife of the
defendant, who had come on from
Chicago to testify against her hus-
band, took the stand. She testified
that she and Love were married on
June %, 1909, and that her husband
deserted ner november Z, OF last year.
She said that she had been support
ing herself part of the time since
the desertion by doing practical nurs-
ingfi in Chicago where she had made
her home with. her sister.
In letter to the police she stated
that she did not ask for divorce
from Love, but that she wanted him
punished for his misconduct. Mrs.
Booth, she charged, had chased him
even after she realized that he was
married man.
The charge upon which Mrs. Booth
was bound over was raised upon re-
quest of the district attorney from a
lower statutory offense to more
serious one similar to the one which
her paramount will stand trial on. AL
though Mrs. Booth is widow, Frank
Symmonds, district attorney, says that
he believes that he can make the
more serious charge stand up. This
he says, is a point of law which has
never been ruled on locally before.
