SEYLER FACES
CLEAR SAILING
No Indictments Returned
by Grand Jury Against
Seyler Company.
OF INTEREST HERE

Kenoshans, who several years ago
bought stock in the utility companies
which were promoted by William Sey-
Ter and the William Seyler company,
are interested in the news reaching
Kenosha today that the federal grand
jury after an Investigation has failed
ito bring indictments either against
William Seyler, known as "Seyler
Himself" or against the company.
Quite number of prominent bust
ness men in Kenosha became inter-
ested in the Seyler System and bought
stock in the companies; they have
been watching the developments in the
case with interest.
A Milwaukee news despatch gives
the following account of the grand
jury report on the Seyler activities:
After three days investigation of
operations of the William Seyler
company, which, with AFFILIATED con-
Germs, is said to have disposed of
100000 of stock in the M. T. G. Oil
and Gas company and the Elbukan Oil
company to more than 5000 Wisconsin
investors, the federal grand jury did
not return any indictments in the
case, dCCO1 ulAS W d AOPoAC AASo YES
tefday.
The firms were organized by Will
liam Seyler about six years ago and
in the next three years disposed of
large blocks of oil securities.
For between two and three years,
according to Mr.. Seyler, the oil COM
panies paid dividends the rate of IL
per cent year from the operation of
oil and gas properties in Oklahoma
and Texas. Then the oil depression
and internal strife in the companies
caused cessation of dividends and
later one faction Of stockholders sue
ceeded in throwing both concerns into
the hands of receivers.
The receivers were removed May IA,
last, in federal court at Kansas City,
Kan, when it was shown the value of
earnings from the M. T. c. and Elbu-
kan properties had been increasing
through the bringing in of several pro-
ducing wells.
About the time it was determined
the receivers would be removed, the
Seyler activities were presented to
the grand jury for investigation as
to misuse of the mails in connection
with the sale of stock.
The failure to find an Indictment,
Mr.. Seyler said last night, marks the
end of long series of difficulties
weathered as result of the faction
al strife among stockholders.
The jury's action, he stated, was
merely vindication of what he had
contended from the beginning-th
justice and right would prevail in the
| end.

Wisconsin Tobacco
Crop Decreasing

Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin' tobacco
crop will be more than four million
pounds less this year than in 1928,
based on the Aug. 1 forecast of con-
ditions by the federal-state crop re-
porting service, according to Paul o.
Nyhus, statistician. The 1924 produc-
tion is estimated at 43,719,000 pounds
for the state, which is a decrease of
nine per cent over the 1928 production,
totalling 49,092,000 pounds.
The acreage of the crop based on
Aug. l conditions is estimated at 387,-
600 acres compared with 100000 acres
last year.
Wisconsin's average tobacco produc-
ton for five years, 1913 to 1922, was
59,202,00 pounds.
Although the crop in Wisconsin in
dictates nearly ten per cent reduc-
ton, the estimated production for the
entire nation is 10 per cent less than
that of last year, showing that the
Badger state compares favorably with
other states. The production for the
entire nation is estimated at 1902
900 pounds.

Fame of Local Organiza-
ton Spreads as Work

MANY CITIES WANT ONE

The fame of, the Kenosha Civic
Council is spreading. An organiza-
ton of representatives and delegates
from each of thirty-two industrial,
charitable, and institutional societies
and organizations, it has already TAX
en- a PROMINENT part in affairs. The
work it has done in sponsoring the
Kenosha entry in the Wisconsin Bet
ter Cities contest has brought the
name of the organization to the fore
in the state, and other cities are now
seeking to learn the secrets of it's
success.
The latest to apply for information
about the local organization is Blanch-
ardville, Wis. The village is in La
Fayette county and has a population
of CAB souls.
Have Civic Committee.
DIR. M. S. Corlett is chairman of
the Civic committee of Blanchardville
and in letter to Secretary Robert
Smith, of the local council, he asks
for information about the Kenosha
organization. The civic committee of
that city is contemplating organizing
a civic council with the Kenoska plan
as a model.

in the midst of it's work of making a
survey of the city with the view of
reporting to its members where Ke-
nosha stands as community. Oscar

and Ed. Ruetz is chairman of the

Dawes Gets Ready
for Speaking Trips

Evanston, III. Preparation of an
other series of campaign addresses was
begun today by Charles G. Dawes while
Republican campaign managers set to
work mapping not another speaking
trip for the party's vice presidential
candidate.
Mr.. Dawes is leaving to the national
committee almost complete super
vision of his speaking itinerary, but
he has determined to make one request
and that is that he speak within the
home state of Senator LaFollette, in
dependent candidate for president. The
Republican nominee hopes through
such an address to be made probably
in Milwaukee, to carry into the ac-
l1nowledged stronghold of the LaFol
cite movement, his attack on the prin-
ciples espoused by Senator LaFoll-
cite.

Department May Act
to Deport Luis Firpo

Washington, D. C. There were in
dications today that the department
of labor, which is in charge of en-
forcement of the immigration laws,
was nearing decision on the charges
made by those who are demanding the
deportation of Luis Angel Firpo, the
Argentine pugilist.
Should the department decide the
evidence justifies further action, it is
likely that warrant will be issued for
Firpo's arrest in order to bring him
before board of immigration officials
for hearing. Such hearing, if held,
might be concluded before Firpo's
scheduled bout with Harry Wills on
September IL.
