FATHER CUT DEFENDING DAUGHTER
Is BOuad Over to Circuit Court on Charge of Assault
With Intent to Do Great Bodily Harm When

Discovering his inability to win the
heart of pretty Sephani Pirosch, II
years old, in the usual manner, John
Omitak, 80 year old boarder, decided
/ last night to resort to the rather pain
fully mussy, but altogether unique
method of obtaining the coveted organ
by cutting it out with Knife.

daughter was about to be subjected
and asa result received a cash across
the forehead.
Omitak appeared in municipal court
today before Judge John G. Slater
and was bound over to the cvircuit
court in $4,000 bail on charge of
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm. He at first plead guilty, but
when court rejected his plea, and ex
planned that attempting to cut out
hearts was a crime of states prison
magnitude rather than an offense
punishable by fine, the prisoner asked
to change his plea and have a. trial.

Despatch Cites Kenosha as
City Without Summer
Slow Down.
THE OUTLOOK is GOOD
Report Includes Survey of EN-
ployment Conditions ip
All Wisconsin.

Kenosha is singled out as one of
the cities in the state of Wisconsin
where industry did not have the GUS
tomary summer slump in report
reaching this city today from Wash
ington. The report is based on a
survey >just completed by the indus
trial employment information bureau
Of the United States Department of
Labor. Kenosha is named in the re-
port as the city which has best en-
countered the usual let-down during
the summer as no unemployment
period whatever has existed here. 1t
states that employment conditions
here are generally good and labor is
being employed at good wages, Che
only criticism being that there exists
shortage of help in some industries.
"The general aspect of the indus
trial employment situation in Keno
sha," the report reads, sis encourag-
ing despite the fact that July is the
month of vacations and usually the
month of showdown in industry"
No Decrease In Kenosha.
"There has been no marked de-
crease in industrial activity in Keno
sha," the report reads. Practically
all industries with few exceptions
are operating on a normal basis.
"The shortage of farm help is the
most serious problem and as it still
continues the farmers are discourag
ed. Some improvement in this re-
spect, however, is expected soon.
'Bricklayers are needed for new
construction projects underway AID
this class of labor locally is not equal
to the demand. A manufacturer of
beds and steel furniture is erecting
large addition to his plant which is
expected to employ quite number
of people"
One of 65 in Survey.
"Kenosha is one of the IS industrial
cities in which the employment figures
have been gathered and transmitted
to Washington by telegraph. On the
basis of its. reports from all sections
of the country, including Kenosha, the
bureau states that "the general en-
ployment situation is encouraging"
ported to Washington apparently do
not represent an isolated condition as
the general reports for the whole Of
Wisconsin show.
State Situation Good
Local employment conditions re-
ain Wisconsin generally all classes
of workers are employed and the ma
jority of the industries are running
full time," the report reads, "but
there has been some curtailment IF
Industrial activities, generally felt
through the summer months"
"The general aspect of the indus
trial employment situation over the
entire state, however, is encouraging"
Outside of shortage of farm Ia
beF throughout the state, employment
appears fairly well balanced. The

years that when business is good,
fires decrease and when business IS
bad, fires increase, he said:
The figures are there to prove
the conclusion. You cannot deny
the obvious fact which they prove.
Moral hazard is something which
cannot be measured, but it must be
reckoned with, and it behooves us
all TO work together toward Sup
preston of this crime"
The committe is working with To-
cal authorities in all parts of the
country to assist them in investiga-
ting cases of incendiarism. In
number of cities, the Police Depart
ments have organized special Ar
son Squads; Detroit, St. Louis, Dali
las and Norfolk being notable ex-
ainples. Influenced BY the large
number of incendiary fires in New
York City, its District Attorney
has created a special department for
the investigation and prosecution of
this class of crime, appointing an
Assistant District Attorney for thiS
special purpose
Mr.. Morgaridge ascribes the ex-
istence of moral hazard in fire in
surance to the. general breakdown
of morals in the past few years,
pointing out that never before were
failures from dishonesty, robberies
and all sorts of crime so prevalent.
Insurance companies, he SAYS, are
doing everything they can to min
imize insurance of suspicious risks.

LOSS RGO

\ NEW index of business con-
~ ditions, especially in certain
industries, has been discov-
cred. When there is a marked in
crease in the number of fires in
the establishments of a given indus
try, it will be found that business
IN that industry is in bad condition.
This assertion is made by Frank r.
Morgaridge, who directs the work
of the Committee on Incendiarism
and Arson of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters and is prob
ably the leading authority in the
world on the subject.
You can generally tell the con-
dition of the garment industry, for
instance, that it is overstocked, that
orders have fallen off and bus
mess has Stacked away generally,
by a marked increase, in the num-
Der of fires in factories producing
such goods" said Mr.. Morgaridge.
Take another industry-the leather
industry. When we~went into the war
there was an immediate demand for
all sorts of leather products and
while the war continued, there was
not a single fire in leather factory.
When the war ended and business
IN that industry slurnped, there was
sudden outbreak Of fires in leather
factories. Why was this?"

Grain Commission
Meets Own Expenses
Report of Grain and Warehouse Com
mission Shows it is Self Sup
porting in Wisconsin.
by United Pressl


Superior, Wis.-During a brief visit
here while on his vacation trip, Gov
ernor Blaine discovered that there was
at least one of Wisconsin's many com
missions which not only meets all its
own expenses but turns net profit
over to the state every year.
E. N. Fielder, chairman of the grain
and warehouse commission showed the
executive a statement prepared for
transmission to the state treasury,
covering the work of the commits
sion and it's employees for the year
ending August /. s..
This shows that the commission has
turned into the treasury during the
year an average of $1,000 for every
employs, besides meeting all salaries
and overhead expenses. AS there are
three commissioners and thirty-seven
employees this makes the net profit
$4,000 has been taken out to swell
to the state about $4,000. After
the reserve fund, the entire balance
will be available to meet any state
expenditures.
Superior, where the grain inspec-
tors do most of their work, have an
elevator capacity of over 19,000,000
bushels and in the year just closed
receipts totaled 72,560,595 bushels,
with shipments of 64,S1o,464 bushels.
Wheat was the biggest item with over
100000 in receipts while rye was
a close second with 26,358,OO0. It
took 51,722 cars. to handle the grain
coming in.
Actual remittances To Madison were
more than 100000 and the years ex-
penses, including salaries of the forty
were $94,459.

THRESHING TRACTORS
ESCAPE STATE FEE
Attorney General Holds Profits Too
Small to Admit paying State
Fee.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)

by Associated Press Leased Nrel
Madison, Wis.-The attorney gener-
ais Office, in an opinion handed the
secretary If state today, finds that a
tractor used on public highways only
for hauling. Equipment for use in
threshing and silo filing are exempt
from payment of license fee.
In a previous opinion it was held
that such tractors were taxable, bu:
closer inspection of the law in the
opinion of r. NJ. Reiser, assistant at
torney general, leads to the belief
that the Legislature in passing the
law intended to be reasonable.
The tax for such tractor would be
approximately 5000 and the assistant
attorney general, in his opinion, says
the profits of threshing and silo filing
are not enough to permit such pay
ment to be made, and, in his opinion,
he does not think that the law intended
to place tractor used on the high
ways as specified in the commerciai
class.
The law holds that a tractor used
EXCLUSIVELY for agricultural purposes is
exempt from the tax.

her return home one year ago yester-
day, Omitak was smitten with love at
first sight and laid violent siege to
the girls affections.
With growing disapproval the par
ents watched Omitak showering gifts
and attention upon their daughter.
The chief objection was the dispar-
agement in their ages which amounted
to twenty-five years. 0mitak, the
father said, refused to listen to rea-
son and brushed the age question
aside with a wave of the hand.
what are mere years when true love
has entered?" he queried lightly.
The love apparently radiated from
only Omitak, for the girl who at first
accepted the attentions as something
of a joke, recently refused to have
anything to do with the boarder when
she realized how serious the affair
was becoming. Omitak became moody
when he discovered that the girl was
not returning his affection.
Started Drinking Yesterday.
|, Yesterday afternoon, on the ami
versary of their meeting, Omitak again
asked the girl to override the family
objection and elope. When she brush
ed him aside refusing to listen to his
plea, Omitak began drinking.
Shortly after $500 p. M, he came
down from his room into the dining
room where the family were gathered.
Quietly at first he began to plead his
case, but when the father ordered him
back to his room to sober up, he
whipped out a long knife and an
nouncing that he would, have Sep
hani's heart if he had to cut it out,
made for the girl.
She screamed and the father leaped
over the table to protect her. He was
not an instant too quick for the razor
like blade was within few inches
of the girls breast
Father SIashed in ScuffIe.
In the battle which ensued. the
father was badly gashed above the,
forehead before he could pinion the
mans right hand in which he held the
knife. With maniacal strength, Omi-
tax who is slight of build, was about
to get the best of the fight when
August Gerbel,t another boarder hav-
ing heard the fighting downstairs,
put in an appearance
Between them the two men finally
wrested the knife from Omitak and
sat on him while Mrs. Pirosch sum
moned the police. Detective Breidt
and Officer Barney McGivern re-
sponded to the call and placed the
man under arrest.
The father was also taken to headA
quarters and later to the Office of Dr..
G. H. Ripley where his wounds were
dressed. The Pirosch family live at
1862 Lemon street.

Manilla-The British steamer Ming
Sang which was reported sunk in the
Hong Kong harbor during the typhoon
Saturday arrived here safely this
mornig after tumultuous voyage. Her
officers reported that the vessel seen
to sink in Hong Kong harbor probably
was the British steamship Loong Sang.
The Loong Sang is a ship of much the
same type as the Ming Sang and might
have been mistaken for her.
Many lives were lost with the
steamer whose identity was in error.
Of those abroad only two, European
officers, were saved.
A minor typhoon has been raging
here for the last three days. With it
came a heavy rainfall that flooded
many streets. There has been no
damage though shipping is suspended.
