Governor AL Smith
is Real Fire Fan

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Chicago.-Twenty thousand persons
jammed in State, Dearborn and Ran
dolph streets in the heart of the bust
ness section here last night and wit
messed spectacular skyscraper fire
which for time threatened to destroy
the Capitol Office building, formerly
the Masonic temple and a Chicago
landmark for twenty years. Approx
mately 1000 attending fraternal lodge
and business meetings high up in the
structure were routed. Of these $50
were women, some of whom tainted
and became hysterical in the rush for
stairways and elevators. Save two
fremen who were overcome by smoke,
none was injured. Governor Al Smith
of New York, who stopped over here
enroute to French Lick Springs, Ind,
deserted musical play with his party
and was an interested spectator.

MADISON PEOPLE
URGE INVESTIGATION
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

Madison, Wis.-The executive COM
mittee of the local law enforcement
committee of one hundred adopted a
resolution last night asking that the
senate investigation alleged violations
of liquor laws by state officials and
legislators. The committee expressed
itself as favoring the proposed inquiry
being fostered by Senator H. J. Sever
son and Senator Skogmo and urged
that the scope of the quiz be broad
enough to include any charges.
B. N. Hicks, legislative counsel for
the anti-saloon league, was named by
the committee of one hundred to repre-
sent that organization before the ap-
ate investigating committee it was APP
pointed. He is to present the report
of the local committee.
Senate leaders backing the suggest
ed inquiry are to meet again today to
draft the resolution for an inyesti-
cation.

HOLLY WOULD STOP
YANKS GOING ABROAD
Introduces Memorial to Congress in
Lower House of the Legislature
This Afternoon.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


Madison, visa joint resolution
memoriahzing congress to initiate a
constitutional amendment which would
prohibit the sending of American
troops overseas except for the defense
of American territory, was introduced
in the assembly today by Assemblyman
Holly of Kewaunee county. The reso-
luton holds that the sending of troops
abroad "tends to imperialistic results
for which no man should be sacrificed
or pressed into service without his
consent" and that Conquest, of foreign
lands and inter-meddling in foreign
disputes is abhorrent to the temper of
the American people and to the spirit
of the government of the United
States"
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1923-06-14

Frank S. Symmonds appeared before
the county board this morning and
presented a request for an assistant
district attorney to be chosen by him.
The county supervisors decided that
they would not hurry the action in
filling the Office and referred Mr.. Sym
monds' request to committee to in
vestigate the situation and report back
their findings as to whether or not
it is feasible to fill the Office of as
sistant until the present prosecutor
muddle has been finally settled in
the supreme court.
There was some comedy at this
mornings session of the board when
Edward Ruetz presented his resigna-
ton, which was opposed by Mr.. Sym
monds. Symmonds declared that Ruetz
term ended on the day that Morris
Barnett went out Of office on Judge
Belden's order, that is on May 31st.
What! Is It a Crime?
"Under the law" said Mr.. Symmonds
"there is no resignation for you to act
upon. Every one in the district at
torney's Office goes out when the dis
trict attorney does. Mr.. Ruetz was
appointed by Mr.. Barnett with the
sanction of the county board, and his
term ends with that of Mr.. Barnett"
Supervisor Priddis: "But / don't see
any harm in accepting the resignation"
Supervisor Becker: "Can you tell
us, Mr.. Symmonds, if we will com
nit any crime by accepting the resig-
nation of Mr.. Ruetz ?"
Symmnds: "Well, don't you see, by
accepting his resignation you will be
admitting that he is< in office now?"
Becker: "Will we be liable to prose-
cution if we admit that? Will we be
sent to the penitentiary for it?
don't want to take ride yet"
Edward Ruetz: "This appears to
have developed into comic situation.
On June 3rd the district attorney, Mr..
Symmonds, advised me that l was
canned I had some respect for the
county board, and being paid my
salary by them, was determined that
would resign only to the body which
hired me and paid my salary"
Symmonds Explains.
81 did tell Mr.. Ruetz that | con-
sideredl his term of Office ended with
that of Mr.. Barnett. If. you consider
that canning al right.
The county board passed motion
accepting the resignation of Mr.. Ruetz
by a unanimous vote. The resigna-
ton of Miss Ellen Nelson as district
attorneys stenographer, was then read
and duly accepted.
Discuss Dance Halls.
The county board discussed the
question of dance halls, licensing and
regulation, as provided by recent law
passed two weeks ago at Madison.
Supervisor Barrows: "The dance halls
in Kenosha county have always been
regulated. Leave matters alone and
the way they are"
Roders: II agree with Mr.. Barrows.
We have enough state officials and peo-
pie running around with badges on.
Action was deferred.

chine, while the commercial ma
chimes show corresponding de-
crease in average value.
These figures showing the enor-
nous expectation of motor vehicles
are especially interesting at this
moment when the latest trade fig
ures show tremendous increases
over the corresponding period Of
last year. Of passenger machines
alone, the total exports in the 9
months ending with March. 1923,
are. according to official reports of
the Government, 62,454 against g.
694 in the same period of last year,
and of motor trucks and buses
1886 against 4,226 in the same
months of 1921.
One especially interesting feature
of the big increase in exports DUR
ing the current fiscal year occurs
in the fact that the large increases
are chiefly in movements to
European countries and their coll
onies. Of passenger machines the
number sent TO the United King
dom in the 9Fmonths ending with
March, 1923. is 4,739 against 979 in
the same months of the preceding
year; Belgium 4,300 against 987:
Denmark 90l against 1873; Norway
1874 against IS; Sweden 1874
against AS; Spain 1857 against rs;
Australia 1857 against 3,849, while
to the South American countries
there are also large increases, to
Argentina 2,778 against 486, and to
Brazil 1859 in the 9 months ending
with March, 1923, against 236 in
the same period of the preceding
year

every respect in putting across scout
ing in Kenosha.
Shippe is now the chairman of the
Court of Honor and from now on
there will be a definite program and

tests. With Shippee at the head of
the court, work will progress rapidly

examinations in frst-class and merit
badge tests and if they qualify will
be awarded badges.

KENOSHA CASE
BASIS OF APPEAL
[. A. Delaney Secures Ap-
peal from High Court
at Washington.
NO AID TO BURKE
Delaney's Appeal Has no ReIa.
ton Whatever With Affairs
of Attorney w. NJ. Burke.

Kenosha took an active interest in
the news reaching Kenosha late Mon
day night that the appeal of Thomas
A. Delaney, former federal prohibition
director now serving term in the
federal prison at Fort Leavenworth
for conspiracy to violate the dry laws
had been granted by the United States
supreme court, when it became known
that another Kenosha case formed
the basis for the appeal. Messages
from Madison state, merely that the
appeal has been granted by the su-
preme court.
1t is known that Delaney had based
his fight for an appeal on writ of
habeas corpus sought on the grounds
that he had not had proper hearing
before the circuit court Of appeals
sitting in Chicago. 1t was alleged
that Judge Evans, who heard his ap-
peal for a new trial, had formerly sat
as judge in Milwaukee at the trial OF
several persons who are alleged to
have had part in the deals for which
Delaney was declared partly respon-
sible.
Heard Art Berk Case.
One of these cases was that against
Art Berk of Kenosha. 1t is claimed
by Delaney's attorneys that Judge
Evans by reason of hearing this case
was not the proper judge to hear the
appeal made in Chicago, there being
possibility that the information Sc
cured in the Berk trial might have
some influence on the decision reached
in the Delaney hearing.
Delaney, when his appeal was de-
MED by the circuit court, was ordered
to start serving his term and he has
been at Fort Leavenworth since that
time. 1t is presumed that he will
now be released pending the outcome
of the appeal granted by the supreme
court. The messages from Washing
ton do not state whether or not the
defendant has been granted a new
hearing on his appeal for a new trial
or. a new trial but it is presumed be-
cause of the nature of the writ that
he has secured only new hearing on
the appeal.
No Connection With Burke Case.
The granting of the Delaney appeal
will bring no new hope to Attorney
Walter M. Burke of Kenosha, now
serving fve-year sentence at Fort
Leavenworth for his alleged connec-
ton with the conspiracy to violate the
dry laws. The Delaney case and the
Burke case were entirely separate, one
dealing with alleged activities of the
ring in the southern part of the state
and the other in the northern part of
Wisconsin. The Kenosha attorney
has no basis for a new hearing SINH
lar to that. on which the Delaney ap-
peal was based.
