CHARGE CONSPIRACY
TO WRECK POOL
Injunctions Secured to Prevent Pur-
chases of Tobacco From
Pool Members.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


Madison, Wis. An injunction was
issued out of the Dane county circuit
court here today restraining M. H..
Bekkedal and Son, Viroqua, and eight
of their agents from buying tobacco
from members of the Northern Wis
consin Tobacco pool, recently or
ganized cooperative marketing asso-
citation. Conspiracy to wreck the
pool is charged.
Summons were served today CALI
ing on the ten defendants to appear
Friday to show cause why a perma-
nent injunction should not be grant
ed.
The complaint of the pool charges
that the agents of Bekkedal and Son
have "conspired to interfere with the
performance of contracts" with mem
bers of the pool, to solicit members
to break their contracts" and malici-
ously to destroy the plaintiff.
1.-THE very life and existence of the
plaintiff depends upon the perform
ance by its members of their con-
tracts to sell and deliver to this plain
tiff their tobacco the complaint says.
''The northern Wisconsin tobacco
pool has contracts for the delivery of
over 80 per cent of the tobacco grown
in Wisconsin this year"

SCOUT AWARDED
BRAVERY MEDAL
William Marshall, Received
Gold Medal for Saving
Mans Life.
HE WAS PREPARED"
nBe PreparedlY

"Be Preparedlp -.
Dreams may be made of hero-stuff,
but a hero must have something be-
sides dreams if he would prove his
mettle. Grit, for instance, clear think
ling, and the ability to act quickly are
all requisites for emergency service.
That scouting does not little to de-
velop these traits in it's boys is evil
fdenced weekly by the significant num-
Der of cases where Boy Scouts have
proved heroes Kenosha has had a
goodly share of such boy heroes, and
the awarding of gold medal to Scout
William Marshall, Troop No. 5, for
saving a mans life, brings another
such incident to notice.
In Keeping With Scouting.
Scout Executive David O. r. Fog
we'll, announced today that Scout Will
liam Marshall, aged IS, who lives with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Mar
shall, 5 Albion place, and who is an
associate member of Troop No. 5 at
Lincoln school district, has been noti-
fed by Daniel Carter Beard, national
scout commissioner, that he has been
awarded on behalf of the National
Court Of Honor, gold medal for brav-
cry in rescuing Daniel Cox from as
phyxiation of gas in November 1921.
1t will be recalled that young Mar
shall, hearing cries within the house
hold of Cox as he was passing by,
dashed in and revived the victim ac-
cording to methods taught him in
scouting. He then called physicians
and quickly departed on his errand.
Is District Honor.
Being a modest fellow Marshall
thought nothing of the deed. However,
Scout Executive Fogwell, took the mat
ter in hand and as a result Marshall
today has medal to remind him of
his courageous deed. 1t is interesting
to note that Marshall is the first Boy
Scout in the history of the great game
in Kenosha to win such an honor.
Troop No. where the hero is an as
sociate member as we'll as every scout
in the city, is elated over the fact
that Marshall has been recognized as a
"real scout" by officials at New York.
Letter of Praise.
Marshall received the following let
ter from Daniel Carter Beard nation
al scout commissioner and friend
of all the boys:
"My DEAF Scout Marshall: take
great pleasure in notifying you on be-
half of the National Court of Honor
that you have been awarded gold
medal for your bravery in rescuing
Daniel Cox. The intrinsic value of the
medal is small, but that which it stands
for should mean so much to you in
the future. 1t shows that you as a
Boy Scout were prepared to do your
utmost even though it may have re-
suited in the loss of your own life.
''You, will, l am sure, prize this
medal very highly, and it will always
tend to keep before you the great les
son of being prepared to render
service in emergency.
Again congratulating you on behalf
of all the members of the National
Court of Honor, l am,
Sincerely and cordially yours,
Boy Scouts of America,
Daniel Carter Beard,
Chairman"

Thomas Philbin, special policeman

Dusseldorf The French occupation
has been extended to Ofenburg and
Appenweier, two towns in Baden, pre-
sumably as penalty for German in
reference with international train
service between Paris and Prague.
In German quarters, it is declared
that this latest move of the French
has as its real goal the Kehl bridge
head opposite Strassburg. This would
give the French control of the railways
along the right bank of the Rhine.
There was little change over the week
end in the general industrial situa-
ton, The railway workers are being
offered cash bonuses in an effort to
revive the strike. The communists, on
the other hand, are actively counter
ing such moves with declarations that
the German capitalists, whose refusal
to fulfill the French demands has led
to the entire situation, should suffer
confiscation of their property.

City Feels Quivering of
Earth Several Times OH
Saturday Night.
MAY HAVE BEEN COLD
Extreme Weather May Have
Caused Tremors which Made
Large Cracks in Streets.

Was Kenosha visited by slight
earthquake on Saturday night or did
the extreme cold cause the tremors
which frightened residents in all parts
of the city?
This was the question discussed
everywhere in Kenosha this, morning
as reports became current of scores of
people in Kenosha who had felt their
homes shake or had heard strange
noises on Saturday night. Concrete
evidence of the phenomenon were
found in cracks and assures of the
streets, one at the extreme east end
of Middle street on Washington Island
and another at the corner of Park and
Selma avenues.
Reports from Milwaukee Sunday
morning were to the effect that the
seismograph at the Marquette Univer-
sity station had recorded several slight
earth tremors there and some Keno
shans believe that these tremors were
more noticeable here than in Milwau-
kee.
Felt Several Times.
Residents from all parts of the city
have reported that they felt the strange
shaking of the earth. One Of the pla-
ces where it was most noticeable was
at the home of Louis Limpert on Selma
avenue. Mr.. Limpert had felt several
tremors during the evening but had
thought little Of them. Just after 10
o'clock as he was sitting in an easy
chair reading, a more violent phenom-
enon came, so strong that it shook the
chair almost enough to hurl him from
it. "We thought that there had been
another powder explosion" declared
Mrs. Limpert in discussing the affair
this morning. Later we learned that
many of the neighbors had felt the
tremor slightly and were also wonder
ing what could have been the cause
of it,"
At the corner of Selma and Park ave-
nues large assure in the street was
found and the sidewalk was also badly
cracked. Residents there were prone
to believe that the extreme cold wealth
er may have been responsible for this.
Felt On the Island.
Charles Young, keeper of the light
house, stated this morning that the
earth tremors were very noticeable
both at his station and on the north
side of the island. Residents there re-
ported eAat several disturbances were
felt and similar fissure in the street
was found at the east end of Middle
street. This fssure is an inch wide
and very deep.
To many residents the disturbances
were not so noticeable, but were never
theless distinctly felt. Willis Russell
at his home on Park avenue, and many
of his neighbors, felt tremor early in
the evening. He declared that it felt
to him as if the coal in his cellar had
slipped but that Investigation proved
that nothing of the kind had happened.
Thomas Hansen, little further south
on Park avenue, declared that the dis
turbance was so noticeable at his home
that it seemed as if "a load of lumber
had been emptied at the side of the
house"
Numerous residents declared that
their houses shook and that noises
were heard as if someone was beating
at doors of the homes. Many were of
the opinion that the disturbances were
not caused by any slipping of the
earth's surface but by the sudden cold
wave which struck Kenosha.
