Sheriff and Men Raid Hotel
at Trevor and Find a
Lot of Wine.
IS IN COURT TODAY
Singer Formerly Ran Place at
Truesdell Which Was
Also Raided.

Gus Singer, a we'll known Kenosha
county saloonkeeper, who has run
another resort which became motor
ious under his management, was raid
ed on Friday by Sheriff Pabst, Depu-
ties Stanley Rauen and Chef Bostetter.
The raid was made at the hotel at
Trevor.
Although the sheriff's men made a
careful search of the entire premises
they could not find anything more
explosive than wine.
Not Intoxicating He Says.
There was twenty gallons of this
liquor captured by the raiders. 1t
was hidden under boxes and boards
in the wood-shed, but when these were
torn up and the cache of wine found
there appeared to be nothing else.
The wine was in big jugs, and had
the smell Of a thick black molasses.
The wine itself was dark, perhaps be-
cause contained in the molasses jugs,
or perhaps made in some way with
molasses as one of the ingredients.
Singer insisted in his conversation
with the sheriff that the wine was
harmless.
"You would have to sdrink barrel
of that stuff before you could feel it,"
he said.
A sample of the contents of each
jug will be turned over to the city
chemist for analysis, in order to as
certain the exact alcoholic content.
Singer was formerly the proprietor
Of drink emporium in the town of
Truesdell. He was raided at this
place and moonshine was found.
Since Singer has taken over the
management Of the hotel at Trevor, q
number of complaints have been lodg-
ed with the sheriff, as it was said
that men were hanging around the
place drunk and maudlin.

Columbus Map
Found i'm Files

The map of Christopher Columbus
used when he sailed west in 14S2, and
inadvertently discovered America, Is
believed to be the one which was found,
some months ago, in the dusty files OF
the French National library.
It was discovered by the director Of
documents for the library, and is a
map drawn on skin, showing Africa,
down to the Cape Of Good Hope, as
we'll as Asia Minor and Europe.
Beside it, on smaller scale, is a
world chart, giving the conception Of
the earth as a sphere in the center
Of nine spheres, the continents then
known forming an island surrounded
by four oceans.
It is the belief that the map was
made under the personal direction OF
Columbus, less than four years be-
fore the discovery of America. The
world chart contains no trace Of AM
erica or its islands.
The Cape of Good Hope was dis
covered in 1888, and the West Indies
in 1892, making it apparent that the
document was produced between the
two dates.
All of the inscriptions are in Latin.
The archipelago of Cape Vert is
marked with long inscription, which
begins, "These islands are called, in
the Italian tongue, Cavo Verde, in
Latin Cape Vert"
This an dother inscriptions lead to
the conclusion that the craftsman of
the map was an Italian.

OVER INSURANCE is
CAUSE OF MANY FIRES
State Senator and Deputy Commission
er Claims 1t Is Menace to
the State.

Stoughton, Wis. Asserting that
many irregular and suspicious fires are
caused by over-insurance, Senator Olaf
H. Johnson, deputy insurance commits
sioner, declared here yesterday that the
insurance agent "who resorts to this
vicious practice" is a menace to his
community. Senator Johnson spoke at
the Stoughton high school during the
Fire Prevention Day program.
at is up to the insurance companies
and to the insurance agents to stamp
out the class Of fires that are caused
by over-insurance by placing a proper
amount of insurance on the property,
the senator said, "and it is the duty
Of the fire marshaPs department to
eliminate, as far as possible, the in
cendiary fires by ferreting out arson
cases and Furnishing the guilty.
"As result of the Investigations
made by the fire marshal's department
for the year 1928, Ia persons were con-
victed Of arson, two were committed
to the insane asylum, one escaped and
is a fugitive from justice, four were
bound over and are awaiting trial, and
six were discharged after the prelim-
mary hearing total number
Of ~ arrests.
"The Are marshal's department must
have the cooperation of the people in
the community and of the local Off
.cials In the prosecution of arson cases.
There should be no public sympathy
shown to the professional frebug."
Senator Johnson cited figures show
ing that 1856 fires were reported to the
fire marshal in 1923 and that the dam
age they cause was S11,516,109. The
insurance carried on buildings and
contents damaged by these fires was
s32, S76,930. The actual fire loss is
greatly in excess Of these figures, how
ever, as many fires are not reported to
the state, Senator Johnson said.

HObOes Will Not
Lack Good Shelter

Altoona, Pa. Although it's only
an old barn, it has reputation thru
out the United States. 1t is known as
Hagerty's Barn and it is located on the
outskirts of Altoona.
Years ago a man named Hagerty,
who lived just outside the limits of this
city, owned the barn, which became
favorite stopping place for the knights
of the road travelling along the route
of the present Lincoln Highway. Mr..
Hagerty never objected to the hoboes
stopping in his barn, even after fire,
believed to have been started by them,
destroyed the original building. Mr..
Hagerty built new barn and when he
died enjoined his heirs never to close
the buildings doors to tramps. The
heirs have done his bidding.
Every night from two or three to
dozen hoboes stop there. Meals are
cooked nearby. Frequently the visi-
tors do their laundry and string the
clothes on ropes near the barn.
A resident of this city, travelling In
the west this summer, was asked by
man from California if he knew where
Hagerty's Barn was located. The ALI
toonan replied in the affirmative, and
the western man said he and many
travelling friends" had stopped at the
place.

ing program at the normal schools,
despite the fact that the enrolment Of
the schools has increased approximate
ly 1000 since the last buildings were
authorized" Mr.. Ramer stated. "The
normal schools are in dire need Of
buildings and the normal board has
recommended for construction during

DIRIGIBLE HALTS
CABIN SMASHED
Accident in Landing Holds
Up Trip of Shenandoah
at San Diego.
GOING TO HAW All
Damage to Big Air Ship Is
Trivial but Days Delay in
Trip Is Made Necessary.

San Diego, Cal.-Because of real
cabin which was smashed while the
Shenandoah was being moored last
night after completing her trans
continental fight and some repairs to
her motors, the big dirigible will prob
ably stay at her mooring mast at
North Island all day today, according
to telephone message from the Of
ficer of the day at North Island navy
flying field.
A hole about six feet long was torn
in the rear cabin of the giant dirigible
according to the communication from
North Islam. Although this damage
was described as of minor nature,
it, together with some work to be done
on two of the ships six motors, was
expected to keep her here today.
Trip to Hawaii.
An air trip to Hawaii may be the
next test for the great navy dirigible
Shenandoah, according to Rear Ad-
miral Moffett, head of the bureau OF
naval aeronautics, who arrived here
last night on the Shenandoah when
she completed her successful trip
across the continent.
Sweeping over Point Iona at 1O:45
o'clock last night, the Shenandoah
completed it's westward flight at 11:40
o'clock when Commander Zachary
Landsdowne brought his giant COM
mand to mooring mast on the land
ing field at North Island.
The dirigible is scheduled to leave
on its northward cruise along the Pa
cifc coast for Camp Lewis late to-
day or tomorrow.
The Shenandoah made the last 100
miles of its long journey at speed
of more than a mile minute after
a battle with hail and snowstorms and
head winds in the San Jacinto noun
tains during the evening hours.
Many Extend Greeting.
More than 200 civilians were on the
field to greet the Shenandoah, despite
the lateness of the hour and the brisk
ness of the weather. The silver en-
velope appeared over Point Iona at
10:45 and the Shenandoah came into
view flying at an altitude Of 1000 feet.
Admiral Moffett was the first to
Jump out of the Shenandoah's cabins
and he was followed by Commander
Lansdowne and the crew of the
dirigible.
Putting on his venerable corn cob,
Admiral Moffett explained to news
paper men that the arrival of the
Shenandoah had been purposely de-
layed because landing late at night
would conserve the helm supply in
the ship.

Editors Note: The following article
Is the second in series Of articles
written by Joseph Lindi, member of
the architects firm of Lindl, Lesser
and Schultz, architects for Kenosha
county's new courthouse, which ar
ticles give description of this new
building. This article tells Of the in
terror decorating Of the structure.)
In a previous article, the compost
rtion and color scheme of the mural
paintings was explained, and this ar
ticle is intended to convey an accurate
idea of the art glass, landscaping
and other items.
After a thorough study of art glass
'and its reaction under natural and
artificial light, the architects and build
ing committee have approved color
scheme consisting Of a field in light
buff effect, with borders in gold, blue,
ruby, white, yellow and other qualified
tints. There will be art glass panels
in the main entrance hall, circuit
court, municipal court, ceiling above
the grand stair case, and in the court
room windows.
In the entrance hall panel the words
"Law," Order" Equity" Justice"
will appear in art glass scrolls set out
in old gold effects.
The court room windows will be
white, buff and gold in the predomin-
ant colors.
Each ceiling panel will be carried
out in colors that will blend perfectly
with the decorative scheme adopted.
Tried Various Effects.
Careful experiments were made with
an imported Belgium glass called
ENABLE which produces beautiful
buff effect of great brilliance at close
distance, but when placed at the actual
court room ceiling heights in the build
ing the architects found to their re-
gret that the effect desired disappears
completely and for this reason, glass
Of domestic manufacture was chosen.
The mural for the grand staircase
will be considered by the committee
at today's meeting.
This picture is to tell the story of
the early history of Kenosha and an
honored citizen, Mr:~ Michael Link,
furnished wood cuts and other accur-
ate data from which to develop a
history in pictorial form.
The artist, architect and several Of
the building committee, went over the
ground foot by foot in the endeavor
and search of authentic information.
Scenes of Years Ago.

looking in a south-westerly direction
from Washington Island toward what

Stories about sour Mary" always
seem to have certain humanness about
them which is probably one reason why
sch can break into print any time she
wishes. This reminds me that Miss
Garden has frequently said that she
didn't care what anyone said about
her so long as they said it.
A recent story going the rounds
shows her sense of humor which has
enIivened more than one operate per-
Torrance in which she has taken part.
Once, singing in Louise" she noticed
in the Montmartre scene that the stage
hand into whose keeping the moon had
been committed was having trouble
with his charge. Facing the audience
with rapt gaze Miss Garden continued
her aria until an unimportant measure
gave her chance to turn toward the
back of the stage, when, unheard by
all save those near her, she adrnonish-
ed the man with the moon to stick a
pin in it," An instant later she had
gone on with the song without the
audience realizing that it's continuity
had been interrupted.
Our Local Dilemma.
Without wishing to appear facetious,
this yarn fits right into the place |

all there is to be said about our Ar
fists course. But there are still a
number of procrsstinatdrs who need to
be urged to "stick pin in it." Our

help to "stick pin in it" and keep it
in our town. The course in Racine is

forts of the young ladies Junior league.
o for some kind of league to rally to
the support of ours!
Of course there is about the usual
number of season tickets sold already.
But that is only half enough. This
is to be test year, and unless Keno
sha shows in the only way it can--at
the box ofice--that it really wants the
good things, then the supporters of
this course will withdraw. Then, of
course, there will be none. Even if it
pinches you bit this year, you better
be pinched and help save it, for if not,
then next year when you can afford
1t easily and wish to, you may have to
pay as much for one trip to Chicago
or Milwaukee as a ticket for five num-
bers at home would cost you. And if
you have bought your own tickets, be
as Jealous for this cause as you are
for many others less important. Urge
your friends to buy, talk about it to
them, din it in their ears until it shakes
their purse strings loose. Only two
