TtUO Masterpieces

Interest of shoppers is being at
in the Barden store in which is shown
a huge hand-colored photograph of a
new Nash four-door coupe. The pic
ture, colored in deep maroon, is de-
scribed as an exquisite example of
Photographic art. It was done by
Leonard Clapp.
The car in natural colors appears
in the foreground and is so life-like
in effect that it would seem almost
possible to open one of the doors and
step inside. In the background stands
the A. H. Lance home on Durkee ave-
nue., the grounds bearing white man
tel of snow, setting which by the
contrast of colors adds charm to the
picture.
''The Nash four-door coupe, a hand
some car, lends itself remarkably well
to photograph in a setting such as
Mr.. Clapp chose" said George W
Greiner, who loaned the picture to the
Barden store. ''The photograph was
very we'll done, the effect being SO
artistic and pleasing that, through the
courtesy of Mr.. Barden, we have in
vited the public to view it,"
1t is said that no model ever pro-
duced by Nash Motors has met so
widespread response on the part of
the public as has the new four-door
coupe.

''K-97" TELLS JURY
OF HIS EXPERIENCE
Mysterious Agent of the Government
Takes Stand at Trial of Will
liam z. Foster.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

|. St. Joseph, Mich = ''K-97", the
government agent, who attended the
communist convention last summer as
delegate continued to fool com
munist leaders even after he had been
arrested with them in the raid on the
convention and then released, accord
ing to evidence today in the trial of
William, 2. Foster, charged with Grim
inal syndicalism.
''K-97"' whose real name is Francis
Morrow, identified a letter he re-
ceived from Foster more than a month
ago after the convention raid in
which Foster made an appointment to
meet Morrow in Philadelphia last
October.
The witness said he kept the APP
pointment, and that, after discussing
the raid, Foster advised him ''to keep
under cover until after the trial"
when he could resume communist
work
State and defense clashed today
when the prosecution endeavored to
gread to the jury a document which
Morrow testified was the report Of
"Comrade Borden" who, he said, was
Foster before the convention Judge
Charles White excluded the document.
Morrow then produced long hand
notes which he said he made while
Foster was speaking, and with them
to refresh his memory gave what he
said was the gist of Fosters speech.
According to Morrow's version of
the report, Foster told the convention
delegates how he had formed the
Trade Union Educational league of
which he is head and concealed the
fact that it was a communist branch.
He said, Morrow testified, that he had
recently returned from Moscow with
other communist leaders and brought
back from Russia a revolutionary
program. Foster also stated, the wit
ness said, that the Trade Union Edu-
cational league would adopt a revolu-
tionary program, recognize the Rus
sian Soviet government and endorse
the dictatorship of the proletariate.
Foster told the convention, Morrow
continued, that he was not there as
delegate because Of conflict within the
party at Chicago between himself and
Philip Aronberg, who was chosen.

POLICEMAN NABS
A BROTHER COP
Officer Amberlang Arrests
Monroe on Charge of
Intoxication.
MONROE Is SUSPENDED
To Be Given Hearing Before
City Manager Next
Friday Evening.

Police Officer Angus Monroe, who
has been suspended by Chief Logan,
has been ordered to appear next Fri
day evening before City Manager Os-
born to answer the specific charge of
having been under the influence of
liquor on the night of March 10,
at 10000 p. m.
The arrest of Monroe has caused
quite a small. Juror within police cir
cles and without, as the officer prior to
the time he became employed upon the
police department, has been known as
man addicted to sobriety rather than
as one addicted to the use of alco-
holic drinks.
Was Not on Duty.
One extenuating circumstance in
favor of the suspended officer, is that
he was not on duty at the time of his
arrest. Monroe has been i'll and for
eight days prior to the night be was
taken into custody was on leave for
that reason. It was explained that he
had been advised to get out into the
fresh air by his physician, and on
Monday evening he took this advice
with disastrous consequences.
Officer Amberlang while making his
patrol in the vicinity of the North
Shore station ons Monday night, came
upon his brother officer in condition
indicating that he was under the in
fuence of drink and unable to pilot
himself properly on the street. AM
berlang treated the man precisely as
he would mere citizen under the
same circumstances: he brought him
down to the police station.
Suspension Follows.
Following the arrest of Monroe, his
suspension as police officer followed,
and he was given orders to appear
before the city manager for hearing
next Friday night.
The suspension of officer Monroe
calls the attention of the public afresh
to the temptations that beset the path
of the patrolman, thrown often in his
way by the fragrant violators of the
law. 1t is not the first time that a
police officer, who has otherwise served
the city as patrolman in a faithful
capacity, has been caught in the
meshes of this temptation.
Hitherto the suspension Of officers
on the charge of intoxication has been
preferred against men found in this
condition while on duty, which is an
acknowledged necessity if the city is
to receive the protection of it's police
patrol. Bv the lines laid down in the
administration of police regulations
hitherto, it was hoped that every man
on the police force had learned the
lesson, that the public would not toll
crate drunkenness or ear-drunkenness
on the part of it's police on duty.
The further strictness of compelling
officers to comply with the law off duty
as well as on duty, is only the further
application of this rule.

MussOlini Lieutenant Says
Kenosha is to be Center
of Fascist.
IN BOSTON ADDRESS
News Dispatches Give New
Significance to Organization
OF Fascist Branch Here.

Kenosha has been chosen as ae of
he cities where the famous F 6cisti
n "black shirt" movement of Italy
will be tried out in America, accord
ng to the announcement made by
Lieutenant DR.. Giannetto Bottoro, a
representative of Premier Benito Mus
solini, of Italy, at a meeting of Fas-
cisti members in Boston. Messages
from Boston received in Kenosha to-
day told of the plans for BLACK
shirt" invasion which will make Keno
sha and Wisconsin one of the centers
of the operation of the movement in
this country.
A branch of the Fascist was or
ganized in Kenosha several months
ago at the same time that an organ
izaton was perfected in Milwaukee.
The special significance to be given
to the Kenosha branch was not known,
however, until the statement made by
Premier Mussolini's acknowledged
spokesman in Boston.
Under Premier's Supervision.
"The organization Of the black
shirt movement in America is to be
carried on under the personal direc-
ton of Premier Mussolini, the head
of the movement in Italy," declared
Lieutenant DR.. Bottoro in addressing
the Boston gathering. He told how
plans for the Kenosha invasion" had
been under way for long period Of
time butaemphasized the fact that the
movement was not in the least revolu-
onary but merely to aid and promote
he "politicial renaissance" which the
movement is alleged to have fostered
n Italy.
eve are preparing to organize
branches in several American cities
which have been chosen after consid-
rable investigation and thought" de-
Jared Lieutenant Bottoro. The Ke-
iosha branch is intended to care for
membership of that district and
to make membership available
mong the Italians in that particular
art of Wisconsin and to give them
he value of the magnificent effort of
ebirth which the Fascist of Italy
re making for the whole people of
tally with unsuitable determination.
To Adopt Paraphernalia
1T is to create a state of mind
hich shall be vigorous, conforming
the renewed Italian strength and
opposed to accomplish the duties
hich this fatherland of ours imposes
n us and to defend all the rights
hich the same fatherland with its
Tvs gives to u.s."
1t was stated that the American or
anization of the Fascist might adopt
le uniforms and other paraphernalia
hich have helped to make it power
i Italy and that this would transfer
) it in this country some of the pres
ge which it now holds among the
alians in the native country.

Vets Gain Reconsideration of Tucker
Bill and Then Have 1t Tabled

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Madison, Wis.-The vets in the as
emily won point today by getting
favorable action on motion to re-
onsider the vote by which the Tucker
ill, repeating the Severson prohibi-
ion enforcement law, was indefinitely
postponed last week. After getting
reconsideration by a vote of so to 40,

he drys and tabled the bill by vote
If 50 to 8,
This repeal measure will now lie on
he table until after the assembly
tages its fight over the Sachtjen bill
providing for restriction of the search
md seizure clause of the Severson
enforcement bill. Vets are united be-
ind the Sachtjen bill, which drys claim
would practically put an end to prohi-
rition enforcement in the state.
There seems to be little active sup
,ort for the Tucker bill to bring com
lete repeal of the enforcement
tatute.

SAY DRAINAGE CANAL
HAS CLEANED LAKE
Drainage Canal Defendants Claim Pro-
ject Has Cleaned Up All of the
Southern Part of Lake.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
hicaon ll-Defandars of the c.

Chicago, Ill.-Defenders of the Chi
cago sanitary district drainage canal
today placed their arguments on an
aesthetic basis, claiming that the re-
moval of sewage from Lake Michigan
has added intellectually to the sum
mer resort value of all the beaches
on the lake.
The black necklace of scum which
used to fringe the entire southern lake
shore has been completely removed,
.Presidert Willietn .Ha4Healy of tht
,a4lita4 district, declared, while if the
aanitary canal should be crippled by
the fou1 state suits now pending, there
would not be a clean strip of bathing
beach on the southern half of the lake.
The improvement of the Chicago river
also increased lake passenger and
freight traffic between Chicago and
various lake ports, sanitary district
officials claimed.
Directors who point to decrease
in Chicago river shipping neglect to
state that the greater part of Chicago's
lake freight business now is diverted to
the Calumet region, it was added.

AMBASSADORS VISIT
CAUSES SPECULATION
Real Significance is Believed to be At
tached to Return of Lord
d. Afternoon to England.
(By Associated Press Leased wi-e.)

by Associated tfresS LeaSen W1re.J
London, Eng.-The political gossips
are specializing as to the purposes of
the visit here of Lord d Afternoon, the
British ambassador to Berlin, who ar
rived yesterday.
Official circles rather oddly profess
entire ignorance of the visit, saying
that it is not concerned with govern
ment business. This suggestion, ac-
cording to the telegraphs diplomatic
report "does less than justice to the
ever vigilant ambassador"
The general assumption is that Lord
d. Afternoon, whether summoned to Lon
don or not, has really come to report
to the government on the situation
in Germany as regards possible de-
velopments in the Ruhr.

MQuiring Reporter
TODAY'S QUESTION:
How does it feel to face death =?
THE ANSWERS:

A. B. David, state senator, injured
in railroad crossing accident: When
the engine was bearing down on me,
| wished that l might have just an
other hour with my family. l wished
for less time than that to wind up
my business affairs. Summed up, my
feeling was that I'd give anything to
live a little longer. It all happened
so quickly / had no time to get scared.
Henry Brewing, war veteran, injur-
ed in an automobile accident: l
looked over my shoulder and there was
death in the form of an automobile
| felt l was done for. Just moment
of fear = then resignation. I was a
little angry that l should be picked
as the victim Of some COMPOUNDED
speeder. | wished / had a gun so
that could shoot his tires or some
thing.
Matt Starwich, sheriff: There isn't
any ''feel" at all to facing death. I've
faced death in many forms in the
course of my long career as law en-
forcement officer. I've got used to it.
Some people say that their lives pass
before them in review as they are
about to die but nothing of that kind
ever happened to me.
Ted Reid, mason, injured in a 200
#. fall from scaffold: = Of course,
l thought it was all over. Everything
that had taken place in my life flash
ed before me like motion picture.
But that probably took only two sec
onds. While falling saw the sky
turn completely over, the street rush
ed up to meet me, the blood rushed to
my head. I could see people gather
ing below and pointing up at me.
When die l want to die in bed with
my boots off.

The jury in the civil suit against F.
H. Fleischmann for damages of about
$4,000 for an alleged unskillful oper-
alton performed upon Mrs. Amelia
Chzartowitz, went out at half past
eleven o'clock this morning to deter
mine the amount of damages to which
the plaintiffs in the action, Amelia
and her husband, Charles Chzartowitz,
we're ntitled
A default judgment was taken Tues
day afternoon in circuit court, when
DR.. Fleischmann, formerly Kenosha
surgeon failed to put in an appearance.
The case against another Kenosha
physician, named as a co-defendant in
the suit, was settled out of court. 1t
was shown that this other physician
had only assisted in the administra-
ton of the anaesthetic to the patient
and was not responsible for the alleged
i'll results of the operation.
Asks Large Damages.
Two operations were performed by
DR.. Fleischmann for "tonsillectomy''
upon Amelia Chzartowitz, the first on
November 3, 1921 and the second on
November %, 1921. Charles Chzarto-
WITT asks $4,000 damages for injury
of his wife for the results of the first
operation and $4,000 for the second.
Mrs. Amelia Chzartowitz asks dam
ages of $4,000 for the injury and
pain she suffered.
The jury was sent out to determine
merely the amount of damages to
which the plaintiffs are entitled as by
default judgment the plaintiffs have
won on the issue of the responsibility
and negligence of the practitioner.
Another Damage Suit.
The suit of Mike Kuchinski VS.. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and North Shore
railway, was the next one called this
morning. Kuchinski claims that he
was struck by North Shore train
when crossing the tracks on Prairie
avenue at 1880 p. m. April %, 1921, and
that he was seriously injured, breaking
his left arm, and denting his skull
He charges that the railway company
is responsible and that the train was
going at excessive speed, gave no warn
ing, carried no head light, and that
the gateman raised the gate for him
to pass through. John ]. Kuehnl repre-
sents the defendant as counsel.
The railway company, through its
attorney, Clarence Fisher, with At.
torney Morrow of Chicago of counsel
denies all the allegations, maintaining
that Kuchinski himself was respon-
sible for the accident and that he did
not look where he was going but ran
under the. gates ito cross the tracks.

Senate Votes to
Bar Child Actors

lBy Associated Press Leased WIre.f
Maison, Wis. - The barring Of child
actors from Wisconsin theatres, was
favored by the state Senate today
when it engrossed the Titus bill to
prohibit appearance of any child under
II years of age from the state, unless
with special permit from the indus
trial commission.
Senator w. A. Titus, Fond du Lac, de-
Tending his bill, told how children as
young as three were appearing in acts
in Wisconsin show houses that often
were suggestive with sex attractions,
and entirely unwholesome.
He presented data prepared by the
industrial commission to show the ex-
tent to which young children were ex-
plotted on the stage. His bill would
prohibit any child under Il years Of
age from appearing in public exhibi-
ton.
