In SHIRT SLEEVES
Minor Bills Are Disposed of at Monday

sion Today.

Madison, Wis.-The assembly worked
in its shirt sleeves today, disposing
of numerous minor bills despite the
oppressive heat.
The bill drawn by the committee
on municipalities which would en-
power county boards to defray the
living expenses of their representa-
tives in the legislature provided the
expenses did not exceed $500, was
finally passed by a vote of % to 20.
Assemblyman Matheson of Rock county

stitutional amendment increasing the
salaries of legislators is voted on.
The Holly bill empowering counties
and municipalities to operate eleva-
tors, warehouses and cold storage
plants as a measure to reduce the cost
of food products, was engrossed.

investigate the conditions under which
Congress in 1916 granted to Wisconsin
a 684 1863 acre tract of land for the
purpose of improving the navigation
of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers The

"fIo jobs here for sick men," is the
latest pronouncement sent out by cities
in certain parts of the Southwest.
Lured by high hopes of the sun cure,
thousands of invaiids each year go to
Arizona, Texas, Colorado and Cali
fornia, seeking the pathetic mirage of
health restoring climate.
The United States Public Health Ser
vice has recently announced that the
West is unable to care adequately for
the destitute sick who pour into their
states each week. Statistics show that
one out of every So persons in Phoe-
nix, Arizona, is sick man, dependent
upon the charity of the town. In
Denver, one out of every 156 persons
is a charity patient.
So serious has the situation become
that a warning has been sent out in
an effort to keep men from going west
under the delusion that climate alone
will cure them. 1t is pc nted out that

Polish Newspapers
Expand Sport Pages

Warsaw. = Polish newspapers were
requested to give more space to sport
ing events, both domestic and inter-
national, by the 700 delegates who
attended the first Polish Sporting Con-
gressl here during April.
Sports, in connection with the i'm
provement of military training for sol
diers, were placed first in the agenda
of the congress. Establishment of
military sporting clubs, and the CO.
operation of military sporting organi-
cations with the civilian, were recon-
mended in guiding the physical educa-
tion of the Polish nation.
Football, which since the armistice
has become almost the national game
of Poland, was the subject of keen
discussion by the delegates. The mill
tary representatives favored intensity
ing the game, while delegates from the
universities were inclined to the belief
that it was excluding many other
forms of sport which should be in
dulged in. A compromise was reached
by deciding to foster swimming, the
teaching of which in the schools will
be made compulsory by an act of par
lament.
Before adjournment, the delegates
secured the promise of financial assist
ance from the government to defray
the expenses of Polish athletes to the
Paris Olympiad next year.

Fritz Won ROggendorf
Is Buried in the Pot
ter's Field.
ONCE GERMAN NOBLE
Burial Comes as Antithesis to
His Birth as He Was Born
in a German Castle.

Born in castle in Germany, the
son of a German nobleman, some fifty
years ago; buried today, a suicide, in
pauper's grave in Kenosha!
This in. brief is the life story OF
Fritz Won Roggendorf, the last chap
ter in whose strange life was written
today, when his remains, taken from
Lake Michigan on Wednesday when
found by two fishermen, were buried
in the Potters' field at the Green
Ridge cemetery. There were no at
tendants at the ceremony other than
those assisting the workmen in lower
ing the body into its last resting
place.
The tragic end illustrates the
strange tricks which fate sometimes
plays even to those "to the manor
born" Investigation made by Coron-
err Truman Parker following the find
ing of the body confirmed the theory
that Won Roggendorf had died sui
eide by drowning and this was the
report which will be filed in the death
records.
Timed Over to City.
A careful search of the room where
the man had lived for several years
prior to his strange appearance on
January Bird last, failed to throw any
further light on the manner in which
he met his death. He had left no let
tiers to friends, or to relatives telling
them of any plan to end his life or
even intimating that he contemplated
suicide. One letter, half written, was
found in the room but it was all writ
ten in a jocular vein, dealing only
with trifing subjects that had no
bearing whatever on his death.
1t was thought at first that the man
had left some insurance policies but
investigation revealed that all of these
had lapsed several months ago. Re-
ports that bonds, belonging to him
might be found laso proved false and
it was discovered that he died abso-
lutely penniless. His membership in
various organizations had lapsed as
we'll and his remains were turned over
to the city to be buried at public ex-
pense.
Recall Stories of Youth.
AS the remains were being buried
today in pauper's grave, acquaint-
ances recalled the stories which Fritz
Won Roggendorf had often told of his
birth and of his youth in Germany
and which stories he had confirmed
with documents. Once he had attend
ed a German university as a boon
companion of a German prince. At
that time he had been a member of
the Imperial Hussars, an honor con-
ferred only on a few. Financial diff
ficulties of younger son of noble
family had driven him to leave Ger
many and he had drifted to America
where in time he broke every tie unit
ing him to his family overseas.

mental attitude and good care all en-
ter into the cure. A man does not
need to go west to get any of these.
There are plenty of sanatoria near his
home.
Blinded by the lure of the sun cure,
too often a man will leave his home
and family and arrive in far distant
town in the west with less than FIVE
dollars in his pocket.
No Jobs for the Sick
The first thing that the invalid dis
covers on his arrival is that there is
no work for man in his weakened
physical condition. He may live for
time in one of the windowless cubicles
rented out by the night in Denver. He
may sleep on a cot on the Arizona des-
ert or find temporary shelter in cheap
inside room of boarding house in
Los Angeles, but he will not be cured
that way.

10000 More Autos in
Wisc0n ei7> This Year

-:@ a3i4 sa@s9asl
Madison, Wis TIMBER Of auto
mobiles in Wisconsin has increased
nearly 10000 over 1922, bringing the
total number licensed in 1923 to an
estimated 100000, according to Alex ].
Cobban, in charge of the automobile
division of the secretary of states
office. Revenue from application of
the state license fee is expected this
year to amount to approximately S5,-
100000, which is several hundred thou
sands of dollars more than last year.
This license money goes for mainten-
ance Of the state trunk highway sys-
TN, for maintnance of the highway de-
rartment and for state aid to counties.
1t is estimated by the automobile divi-
sion that there is approximately one
automobile to every six persons in
Wisconsin.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1923-06-07

Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Denver,
San Antonio, Ell Paso and Los An
geles, shows that more than 20 per
cent of the destitute sick in these cities
are men. Women who go west in
search of health are more often accom-
panied by their families. The facts of
the situation are plain.
A ''cure chaser" without money will
not be welcomed in the west.
He will not be able to secure a lob
and ne can expect no sympathy from
the community to which he goes.
The west gladly receives man
with money. He is able to secure the
proper care which is necessary to eff
feet the cure, but the west is not pre-
pared to provide for the INDECENT sick.
This is not the fault of this section of
the country. The problem is simply
too big for it to handle. The poor
man is much better at home or in a
sanatorium near his home than he is
chasing the sun cure ON the Arizona
desert ,

Treasured Jewels Of KEN

Wells, Stolen.
FAMILY IS NEAR BY
Thieves Get into C. E. Wells
Home, So Eagle Street,
Saturday Night

Treasures valued at several thou
sand dollars were stolen last Saturday
night from the home of c. E. Wells,
SO, Eagle street, while Mr. Wells and
his daughter, Miss Florence Wells,
were visiting at Kemper hall where
Miss Wells is an instructor. The
gems stolen included two watches and
number of chains and rings, many
of which were antiques which had
been treasured in the family from
one generation to another, having a
higher sentimental than intrinsic
value.
At the time of the burglary, father
and daughter were within few hun
dred yards of their home, which is
just west of Kemper Hall. They were
away from the house only an hour or
two, and upon their return at ten
o'clock were appalled, to find that it
had been entered and thoroughly ran
sacked,
