Attorney Drury Serves No
tice on Prosecutor of
Intent to Fight.
TO BE TEST A CASE
Will Ask Federal Injunction on
Soft Drink Place
Be Lifted.

Notice of a motion to set aside the
temporary injunction granted by the
court against Joseph Segin and John
Walowski for maintaining nuisance
under the guise of soft drink parlor
at Fremont avenue and Elizabeth
street, was served on. the district at
torney today.
The injunction was granted October
IL, after proceedings had been started
in the name of the United States. The
notice was served from the office of
Alfred L. Drury, attorney for the pair.
The case is scheduled to be heard in
court on December 10. At that time
the court will either lift the injunc-
ton which has kept the place closed
for nearly two months, or make it
permanent. If the latter action is TAX
en- it will mean that it can not be used
for one year.
Claim No Notice Given.
The line of defense which will be
brought by the defendants, according
to the motion, will be that no notice
was served on them until the sheriff
appeared with the injunction, as is
necessary under the law when the case
is based on information and belief,
and further that the district attorney
has no right to bring such an action. I
The state will present affidavitS
made by officers who raided the place
and, according to them, obtained evil
dence. This, the district attorneys of
flee points out, rests the case on q
foundation of absolute proof, rather
than on information and belief. This
fact, it is said, makes 1T unnecessary
under the law to. give notice to the
defendant.
AS to the right of the district at
torney to bring the action under the
federalA statute, the states stand will
be based on clauses of the Eighteenth
amendment, which provides that any
prosecutor may bring an action against
a liquor nuisance in the name of the
United States in any court of equity.
The circuit court, it is said, is a. court
of equity.
Due to the fact that this matter has
never before been fought out in any
Wisconsin court, the district attorneys
right to bring the action in the name
of the United States will become a
test case. In this instance there will
be no precedent upon which to base
the action.
Segin, who owns the building, was
behind the bar at the time the officers
entered the place, the police stated.
The license, however, is held by Wa
lows Iii

CEMENT PRICES
BOUND UPWARD
County May Consider Pro-
posal to Have State
Buy Concrete.
STATE TO SEEK BIDS

Consideration will be given soon by
the county road and bridge commit
tee to a communication from State
Highway Engineer Hirst relating to
the proposed purchase of cement for
road building purposes in 1924.
The committee is asked to decide
whether it wishes the state to pur-
chase all or any part of the cement
which the county intends to use in
state aid or bond issue construction
during the calendar year 1924.
In the event the committee decides
to have the state make the purchase
a statement signed by the majority of
the members to that effect must be
forwarded to the commission. The
statement must show the amount and
destination of the cement required for
use on various jobs.
The communication points out that
all contracts covering cement in 1928
expire on Dec. 81, and, therefore, ce
ment required to complete holdover
contracts must be purchased the same
as that for new work.
To Advertise for Bids.
The state commission will advertise
for bids about Dec. Is and will open
them about Jan. 5. During the last
two years the commission has pur-
chased cement at the dealers prices
and it expects to be able to do SO
again this year. Mr.. Hirst stated:
at may be possible that the state, on
this large contract, will be able to
buy cement cheaper than the individu-
al counties. We understand it is GER
tain that the cement companies will
not give the dealers price to the coun-
ties. The state contract carries pro-
vision that in case of any decrease in
price in 1924, the decreased price and
not the contract price will be paid"
Action in Illinois.
Highway Commissioner Herzog has
received information to the effect that
the Illinois department of public
works and buildings rejected bids on
Nov. % on approximately 100000
barrels of cement for the 1924 road
construction program, which, in the
opinion Of the Illinois department Of
ficials, were unfair. The various COM
panies participating in the bidding Of
fered a total Quantity Of 100000 bar
rels and the price is reported to be
than in 1928. 1t is stated that the
net price at the cement mills is con-
siderably in excess of 1929.

Oshkosh Lumber Plant
Destroyed by Fire

Oshkosh, Wis. A loss estimated
at between $125,OOO and $150,0o0 was
sustained by the Morgan Sash and
Door company in the total destruction
of double warehouse, in a fire which
started at about 2:20 o'clock this
morning.
The two buildings, one used for stor-
age of veneers and mouldingsa and the
other for retail stock of various items,
were located north of the main fac
tory, adjoining the river. A strong
south wind and sheet iron covering
on the buildings destroyed were all
that saved the entire plant, the sec
ond largest of it's kind in Oshkosh,
from total destruction.

STATE TREASURER
FIGURES VALUES
School Life is Declared to be Worth
Sl6.66 a Day to WiscOn-
sin Students.

Madison, Wis. - Every day spent
in school is worth S16.66 to the boy
or girl who avails himself of school
ing opportunities, State Treasurer Sol
ONION Levitan declared here today IN
an address before the Madison Voca-
tional schools. Mr.. Levitan urged the
young people of the state to take ad-
vantage of the educational opportuni-
ties offered by the state.
1.-THE average day laborer earns
5000 a year." Mr.. Levitan said. The
high school graduate, on the other
hand, earns an average of $1,000 a
year. In an ordinary span of forty
years. the day laborer would earn
$4,000 while the high school gradu-
ate would earn $4,000. The additional
$4,000 which the high school graduate
pockets represents an investment Of
twelve years of $50 days each, or 2,160
days.
Mr.. Levitan said he spoke from ex-
perience when he said it requires per-
sistence and hardships for one to
"climb the ladder of success without
education.
''To graduate with honors from the
School of Hard Knocks requires per-
sistence and you will find that this
quality is requisite to graduate with
honors from any school. Young peo-
pie today are fortunate in having in
our splendid school system a short
cut to success that will spare many
years of toll. Four years of earnest
labor in school will equip you TO. work
which some of us who have missed
these opportunities never will be able
to perform.
''There is no other country in the
world that offers what American
schools offer. The schools are the
foundation of our government. Learn
to abide and uphold the laws of your
school, and you will later on instinct
lively uphold and enforce the laws of
your country"

City Council Accepts Budget and Levies Tax of
Thirty -one Mills to Raise Amount
Needed in 1924.
BUDGET CALLS FOR $2,559,6l365
Municipal Budget Increases Only in Ratio to Population
and Tax Rate Kept Same to Aid in
School Building Project.

Kenosha's tax rate for 1924 was set
at 81 mills, the same as for 1928, at
the meeting of the city council Mon
day evening. This action was taken
following the adoption of a budget
calling for a total expenditure of
$2,559, 613 65, of which sum $1,814,9 82.42
is to be raised by the tax levy.
While the tax rate remains month";
ally the same, the cost of city man
agement is virtually IA mills less in
asmuch as the budget contains one
item of $101,214.41 for building fund
to aid in carrying out the school ex-
pansion program. Had this been
omitted as in previous years, the rate
could have been cut to approximately
29A mills, but this would have forced
a delay in the carrying out of the
school building program. The council
preferred to include an appropriation
for this purpose and to keep the mill
tax at the same rate.
Comparatively Small Increase.
The total budget for 1924 is
$2,559, 613.65 as against 1892, 533.45,
an increase of 1922, 08O.20, or prac-
tically ten per cent. This increase in
the budget is taken up by the increase
in the valuation of property during
the year and the increase in receipts
from other sources than the direct
tax levy. The various items of the
budget. and the receipts anticipated
for the year are given in detail in
another column.
The budget for municipal purposes
only is $1,311, 631.51 for 1924 as COM
pared with $1,253 ,O09 1886 for 1923, a
difference of $58,622.15 or an increase
of ST. per cent. This is merely in

ONE LAD ADMITS
LAST BURGLARY
Police Arrest NJ. DesmOnie
and T. Scala for Rob-
bling Candy Store.
A LOLLY-P POP AFFAIR
They Took Forty Packages of
Cigarettes and Some Gum,
Youths Say.

1t was a kind of peanut" burglary,
! that robbery of the candy store at 901
Market street, which took place Sun
day, and it was solved to the satisfac-
ton of the police Monday when they
took into custody two alleged peanut"
burglars, Michael Desmonie and Frank
Scala, both youths of 10, one of whom
Scala, admitted the theft of the candy
store, the police say, but denied that
as much had been taken as the pro-
prietor reported. Both Desmonie and
Scala have been arrested before, but
on minor enfringements of the law,
and have no criminal record. Des-
monte denied the statements made
by the other youth and said that
for his part he had had no hand in
any burglary.
The candy store of Rossi and Curly
at 901 Market street, was entered
some time during Sunday, or Sunday
night the police learned, the "burg-
lars" manipulating the lock at the rear
of the store to get in. The theft was
reported to headquarters by officer
Chase.
Then One Youth Kicks In.
1t was reported that over 500 in
goods had been taken. The articles
missing were given as cigars, candy,
gum and cigarettes. The nature of
the theft, it being the peanut kind
of burglary, suggested naturally to the
police that young hands rather than
old ones had been at work.
Michael Desmonie was arrested on
Monday afternoon by Lieutenant Rock
and his squad. Shortly after he had
arrested Frank Scala.
Young Desmonie consistently denied
that he had had anything to do with
the burglary of the candy store, but
Scala signed a statement in the police
Office admitting the offense and in his
alleged statements to the officers, said
that he and Desmonie were together
Scala said they entered the candy
store about five o'clock on Sunday
afternoon.
Both Plead Not Guilty.
Both Desmonie and Scala were ar
raigned in the municipal court this
morning on the charge of burglary in
the daytime. Scala at first indicated
a desire to plead guilty and signed
a waiver of the preliminary examina-
ton. A few minutes later he said
he wished to plead not guilty. He
waived preliminary and was bound
over, bonds fixed at $500.
Michael Desmonie pleaded not gull
ty, waived examination and was bound
over likewise on the lowest bonds for
burglary in the daytime that the
court could fix, namely $500. Both
youths in default of bail ,were COM
mitted to the county jail.
KimbslI Burglars to Geneva.
Malvin Hamilton, "a, and his broth
er, Elmer Hamilton, 16, charged with
robbery of the Kimball home in Lake
Geneva, have been turned over to Of
fcals from Walworth county for ar
raignment in the court at Elkhorn
The two were turned over by the Ke-
nosha police because the robbery as
alleged had taken place in the neigh
boring county.

TWIN CITIES TO
HONOR EDITOR
IN TESTIMONIAL
Chas. Summer Smith to Be Civ
en- Testimonial by Group of
Local Friends.
PREPARATIONS MADE TO
EXPOUND CIVIC WORTH
No Greater or More Honorable
Citizens to Be Found i'm the
Twin Cities.
PREPARATIONS MADE TO
EXPOUND CIVIC WORTH

The Twin Cities will be given an
opportunity on the evening of Au-
gust II, at Elks Hall, to honor one
Of their best and most useful citizens
in the testimonial for Chas. Summer
Smith. editor of the Minnesota Mes
senger. At this time nothing could
be more betting and appropriate
than giving honor to one who has
given his best freely and cheerfully
for the civic and economic better
ment of the Twin Cities. Again, no
citizen in the Twin Cities is better
known than Chas. Summer Smith.
His Civic Worth
Mr.. Smith has, for years, figured
prominently In the Minneapolis
branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. He has spared neither
health. time or money in his efforts
to benefit the community. Besides
these connections he is a Nationally
known fraternal man and is one of
the executives of the Associated Ne
gro Press. The great task of main
tanning a newspaper means hours Of
and It takes no small
degree of patience to withstand the
censors of those it serves. Too fire.
quently the censors are more fire.
Quent than the praises.
Underwent Great Strain
During the past year Mr.. Smith has
undergone much physical, as well as
strain. Last winter his broth
er was a blizzard victim and as a
result amputation of the affected
was necessary. This caused
great worry to Mr.. Smith and to-
gether with his own physical ailments
he sustained nervous breakdown.
Complications of kidney and heart
trouble set in and for the past sew
eral months he has been confined to
his home and under the direction of a
physician. The name Of Chas. Sum-
mer Smith is synomous to service and
and no greater tribute
can be paid than give him some re-
cognition for his faithful service to
the Northwest.
Bulletin Lends Efforts
We cannot say too much in our
praise for our contemporary editor
and the Bulletin has not only mani
tested its interest in the testimonial
by publicity only but has purchased
thirty tickets toward making the
occasion a success. 1t is presenting
flowers while they can be appreciated
that counts and Chas. Sumner Smith
Is truly deserving of the choice blos-
SONS in the worlds flower garden.
Every citizen of the Twin Cities
should do their bit toward making
this a success whether you purchased
one or one hundred tickets let us all
support worthy cause.
