Move for Rehearing
of Insurance Case

Madison, Wis.-Motion for rehear-
ing in the case brought by the Times
Insurance company and five other in
surance firms, seeking to restrain en-
forcement of health and accident regu-
lations issued by Commissioner Of In
surance w. Stanley Smith, was filed
today in the supreme court by Commits
sioner Smith.
In his answer for rehearing, Com
missioner Smith asks for reopening of
the case and in case rehearing is de-
MED, for authority to answer specifi-
cally the charges made by the health
and accident companies. Mr.. Smith
charges that several Of the firms in
volved in the litigation are members
of an association known as the Inter
national Association of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters Of New York. He
alleges that the association "is organ
lied for an unlawful and Legitimate
purpose in that it is a combination of
insurance companies for the purpose
Of defeating competition in the health
and accident insurance business and
for the purpose of fixing and maintain
ing the specific rates and denying the
public the privilege of legitimate COM
petition"
The outcome of the case involves the
future of health and. accident bust
ness in the state, the answer claims. 1t
was filed by Daniel H. Grady, special
state counsel

OBTAINS MONEY
in NOVEL WAY
North Shore Branch Man
ager Asked to Help Get
Man Out of Jail.
BUT HE WASN'T IN

What do you think of the fellow
who goes out and gets money from a
friend or employer on the grounds
that he has been locked up and needs
the money to get out of the coop. And
then gets the money and his employer
finds out he was not locked up at all 7?
This, it is said, are the circum-
stances surrounding William Schiller,
for whom a warrant is in pickle
charging the obtaining of money
under false pretenses.
Said He Was Locked Up.
Schiller told his boss, R. M. Ruble,
branch manager for the North Shore
railroad at Evanston, that he had been
locked up for four days at Kenosha
for minor infringement of the law,
and that he needed $3.50 to get out
and be at liberty again. The money
was given.
Later it was learned that Schiller
was not locked up at all, but another
man employed by the same company,
and that no aid was extended to this
other by Schiller.
Now the branch manager figured
that if Schiller had the idea of being
locked up so much on his mind, a lit
tie practical experience might stand
him in good stead. Therefor the dis
trict attorney was notified of the cir
cumstances and a warrant for the
mans arrest was requested.

BOSCOBEL ATTORNEY
DENIES THE CHARGE
Tells Governor He Does Not Need His
Aid in Enforcing Laws IN
that County.

Lancaster, Wis. Denial that there
was any "mob violence" in connection
with a parade of hooded men at Bos-
cobel recently is contained in tele-
gram sent by District Attorney George
B. Clementson to Governor Blaine, and
made public here today.
81 am concerned simply with the
case of one citizen pulling a gun on
another, apparently without justifica-
tion," the district attorneys message
stated, 81 am doing my duty as it
plainly appears to me and shall con-
tinue to do it without partisanship.
AS an impartial officer it seems to me
that l am better able to judge of the
action the situation requires than you
are at Madison"
Complaint has been issued and
George Shields, night watchman at
Boscobel arrested on charge of as
sault in connection with the affair.

KU KLUX ALAN MEETS
BANNED AT CUSTER
Khan Meetings to be Fired Upon With
Machine Guns Commands Chief
of Camp Clusters Staff.

Battle Creek, Mich. Tarbord Hill
at Camp Custer, will be covered with
machine guns hereafter, and fire will
be opened should another unauthoriz-
ed meeting, such as was held last night,
presumably by the Ku Klux Khan, be
held there, an order issued today by
Major John Franklyn, chief of staff,
at the direction of General George
Mosely said.
The order, which is to be read to
every organization within the camp
and has been issued to the press $50
that all innocent parties may be fully
advised" follows:
"For several evening detachments,
apparently Of the Ku Klux Khan, have
entered the southern part of the
Camp Custer reservation and held
meetings on Hartford Hill with the
evident intent of bringing their order
to the attention of members of this
camp.
Last night the guard sent to cap
ture any such intruders in the reserv-
alton arrived too late, but it did gath
er in a number Of members of his
camp who had been attracted to the
vicinity of the meeting, evidently by
idle curiosity.
"The members of this camp are
warned to keep away from any and all
such meetings. 1t is an offense for
a soldier to appear in his uniform at
such a gathering. The true patriotic
soldier serves honorably in an or
ganization wherein each member is
recognized in the law by name.
"To carry out the intent of this or
der instructions have been issued to
cover Harbord Hill with machine gun
fire and should another meeting be
held, this fire will be opened.
"All members of this garrison will
avoid being in the vicinity of such a
meeting.
"This order will be given out to the
press so that all innocent parties may
be advised"

WOMAN ADMITS
SHE HAD STILL
Mrs. Cattani Comes Into
Court With Baby and 4,
Seeks Sympathy.
FINED 500 AND COSTS

1t took long time for Gredo, Cat
tani to make up his mind that one
or the other of his family would have
to come into the municipal court and
plead guilty to possession of the moon
shine still and mash found in his home
at III Edward street few weeks ago
by the police, or that he would have to
stand trial, unless his wife did.
Cattani was not in the house at the
precise moment when the police found
the still boiling hot and in operation.
Therefore he insisted that he knew
nothing of it. He thought that the
police could not bring in his wife, as
there were little children at home.
In Court This Morning.
This morning Angelina Cattani was
brought into court and formally charg-
ed with possession of moonshine still
and mash. She brought with her a
stout baby, past the weening age, but
the mother insisted upon nursing it
in the court room.
She pleaded guilty to the charge of
still and mash possession and was
fined 500 and costs with the alter
native of thirty days in jail.
mo can pay,c said Cattani glover
ing.
The court announced that arrange
ments should be made with the Service
League for the care of the baby. Cat
TAM went over to the sheriff's Office
with his wife, confident apparently
that if he only held out, some, one else
would give in.
In the court room Mrs. Cattani in
sisted that she had purchased the new
copper boiler for washing clothes.
II know BETTER" said Judge Slater.
Don't come up here and lie to me.
You had one boiler for washing
clothes, and I don't think you have
SO much sympathy for the hardware
merchants that you would buy two for
washing clothes just to accommodate
them"
Cattani said he was plasterer en-
ployed at Highland Park. He said he
knew nothing about the still.
''Of course you didn't" said the
Judge with sarcasm. 'sYou didn't
know anything about it at ALL You
never talked it over with your wife,
and she said nothing to you about it.
I'd get divorce from her under such
circumstances if 1 were you"

COOPER'S PRIDE
in HIS RECORD
Congressman Defends His
Record in Congress in
Campaign Speech.
SCORES CORRUPTION
Refuses to Pledge Himself to
Follow Any Party Against
His Wishes.

Defending his record and condemn
ing the opposition to his candidacy for
congressman from the First Wisconsin
district, Henry Allen Cooper made an
earnest appeal for reelection before
a large audience at the German-Amer-
lean home on Monday evening. Judge
r. Y. Baker presided.
Congressman Cooper began his adj
dress with reiteration of his stand on
the much-discussed postoffice issue.
Mr.. Cooper declared that it has been
impossible thus far for Kenosha to get
action on new postofice building be-
cause there has been no public build
ing, appropriation passed through Con-
gress since 1918. and he explained that
no individual bill of legislation from
Kenosha could be passed He express
ed the assurances given him by mem
bers of the committee which will have
charge of the postoffice appropriations
that action would be taken at the COM
ing session of congress which would
result in an appropriation for new
postoffice for the city of Kenosha.
Takes Pride in Record.
Congressman Cooper told his aud
fence of the intense pride which he
took in the friendships of William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt under
whose administration he also served
in Congress- He named list Of what
he termed Roosevelt measures" which
he voted for and sponsored
Defending his stand against the Mel

he claimed proved that the amended
bill for which he later voted was a
far better one and that the supposed
ly absolutely scientific Mellon bill was

The speaker rehearsed the oil scan
dial disclosures again. After detail
ing the events which led up to the
senate investigation Mr.. Cooper in
sisted that no one had yet been pun

Rumanians Will Not
Accept Disarmament

ucharest.-Rumania cannot accept
the League of Nations disarmament
plan, embodied in the mutual guaran-
tees pact, it was announced last night
after cabinet meeting. The plan was
found unacceptable because: first, gen
eral disarmament was not proposed +;
second, satisfactory guarantees that
neighbor nations would be compelled
to disarm were not promised; and
third, adequate safeguards were not
provided for assuring the execution Of

SAVED.

A lot of people were out Of work and
lot more had their incomes reduced
between March and July Is. But
during this period deposits increased
1850 million dollars in the banks re-
porting to the Federal Reserve System.
At first though this indicates that
people save more when times are dull
and money scarce. But it comes to
light thai 700 millions of the gain was
in New York City banks and represents
chiefly foreign trade deposits and
funds that couldn't be loaned at home
by, out-of-town banks not members of
the Federal Reserve. Nothing is as
misleading as figures. They always
mean at least two things, often con-

Police Unable to Locate
Man Who Shot His
lWife's Parents.
TWO ARE IN HOSPITAL
Dominick Consulo and His Wife
Remain in a very
Serious Condition.

While his wife's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dominick Consulo, are suffering
from gunshot wounds, inflicted by him
and moaning on their cots at the
Kenosha hospital, Tony La Rosa IS
still keeping his heels away from the
officers of the law. He has been
fugitive and in hiding since Sunday
evening when he emptied his revolver
of shots, or until it was jammed and
he could shoot no more, at Angelina
Consulo and at her spouse, Dominlck,
when he came between.
| A warrant is waiting for La Rosa
on the charge of attempt to murder,
and we'll he knows it. 1t was thought
for time that this warrant might be
changed to murder, as there might be
change for the worse in the condition
Of either or both of the patients.
Have Not Removed Bullet.
But this noon DIR. McCluskey, who
has been in charge of the case, report
ed that both Dominick Consulo and his
wife were in good condition with
every chance for their recovery.
X-Ray photographs were taken on
Monday afternoon and again Monday
evening to show the location of the
bullet which penetrated Mrs. Consule's
body below the eleventh rib. The
general location of the little leaden
ball was known from the first, but it
was necessary to locate its exact
position and whether it was doing
any serious damage to, internal or
gans before the surgeons probed with
the instruments.
Result in Old Quarrel.
La Rosa's quarrel, with his mother
in-law, which grew out of his marriage
to Josephine Consulo, is said to have
arisen from her continual interference
in his household. La Rosa, it is said,
wished to take his wife to California,
but her mother insisted that she
should not go. Mrs. Consulo is said
to have claimed to have more au-
thority over her daughter than her
husband, and ordered her to remain
in Kenosha. Continual wrangling
finally resulted in the separation of La
Rosa and his young wife, but did not
mend matters so far as Mrs. Consulo
and her son-in-law were concerned.
She pursued him to a christening
party where he was a musician Sunday
afternoon, and sought to start quar-
rel. This was followed by the shoot
ing which took place Sunday night
when La Rosa, armed with two guns,
waylaid his mother-in-law as she was
leaving the house with sugar bowl
in hand, and opened fire upon her.
