FIREMAN NOW
BACK AT WORK
Fireman Arthur Doherty
Was Suspended for Be
ing Intoxicated.
RAISED DISTURBANCE
Disturbance Raised in a Res
taurant Over Paying Bill
Causes Suspension.

Fireman Arthur Doherty, member
of Engine Company No. A, stationed
at the Grand avenue fire station, is
back at his post today after serving
a five day suspension without pay
sentence. His return to work re-
vealed the incidents which caused his
suspension, all of which were made
public this morning.
Doherty was suspended after he had
pleaded guilty to charges of conduct
unbecoming a fireman while on leave
of absence and of engaging in an
alteration in a manner prejudicial to
the good reputation and discipline of
the department City Manager c. M
Osborn conducted a hearing into the
charges and following it handed down
sentence which has now been served.
Had An Excuse Ready.
Charges were filed against Doherty
when he was one of the principals
in an alteration which took place in
north side restaurant several days
ago. He admitted to the city manager
that he had taken few drinks and
being hungry had gone into restau-
rant and ordered some food.
He thought he wanted double
order of soup and had this cooked
by. the chef at the restaurant. One
half of the order satisfied him and
he refused to pay for the remainder
sThis started an alteration which
became so intense that the police had
to be summoned to quell it.
Was on Day Off.
The incident took place on day off
for Doherty and he was not supposed
to be on duty at the time. He told
the city manager that he had had a
bad cold and that he had secured q
couple of drinks" as a remedy and
that these had been the cause of his
shortcomings.
Investigation revealed that this is
his first difficulty since he has been
on the fire department and that he
has formerly adhered strictly to the
rules. All of these things were taken
into consideration in the handing down
of the sentence.

jim OSTLJP Is
FINED IN COURT
Man Gone Two Years Sur
renders Self and Re-
ceives Sentence.
IT'S AN ODD STORY
Morris Barnett Met Ostup in
Hot Springs Unexpectedly
and Secures Return.

Jim Ostup, wanted here for nearly
two years to answer a serious statu-
tory charge, came back to Kenosha
suddenly Tuesday afternoon and sur
rendered himself to municipal court.
He pleaded guilty to the charge OF
having conducted a disorderly house at
So North Main street, in July, 1922,
while ostensibly running the place as
cigar store. The woman he called
wife, Florence Ostups was alleged to
have been the inmate of the place.
Ostup was fined 5000 and costs, the
total amounting to nearly $500.
Thereby Hang a Tale.
The return of Ostup after his COM
plete disappearance was not entirely
unexpected and curious story is con-
nected with the matter.
When Ostup was arrested in July,
1922, he was bound over for trial after
preliminary hearing. He produced
bonds of $500 in government certif-
Gates. Morris Barnett was the mans
attorney at the time, and Frank s.
Symmonds represented the state as
district attorney. Ostup left $500. in
government CSIItllCdGSS Will LIS 81
torney as guarantee of payment OF
attorneys fees. re
Then the next thing that happened
he "blew." Neither his own nor the
states attorney could lay hard upon
him. Nobody knew where Ostup was
The case was slated upon every court
calendar, but one continuance after
another was taken
Couldn't Collect Bonds.
For unfortunately the. court found
that the certificates left by Ostup as
bonds were not collectible except al
the appearance and presentation OF
Ostup himself. Nobody ever expected
to find Ostup again. At one time ii
was rumored that he had tried to col
lect the money under an affidavit that
the original certificates were "lost,
but this was blocked, although it seem
ed impossible to locate and arrest os-
tup.
Barnett Meets Him.
In February, Mr.. Barnett went to
Hot Springs, Ark, to have couple OF
weeks benefit from the baths and
change of climate, and on his first
day at Hot Springs who should saun-
ter toward him but James Astup!
Don't you remember me?" asked
Ostup. Mr.. Barnett glanced at the
man and after moment recognized
him. But Ostup did not know that
election had changed things in Keno
sha and that the man whom he was adj
dressing might be his former attorney
but was also the present district at.
torney of the county.
District Attorney Barnett talked the
matter over with Ostup and prevailed
upon him to return to Kenosha and
surrender himself. He secured the
promise of the man that he would Sc
so.
Ostup kept his word, and the fine
that was imposed upon him was made
taking into consideration all the facts
Of the case, and the surrender of the
defendant on his own volition, saving
the county the expense associated with
extradition.

WALSH DEPLORES
 COURT DILEMMA
Declares Americans AssO- ciate Its Origin With
 League

BUFFLo, N. T., April 2s. The proposal for American participation in | the world court iss "as dead as Caesar, unless the country can be aroused to its
 support, Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, declared tonight in an ed-
 dress to the League of Women Voters. 'sUnfortunately it is associated in its | origin, with the League of Nations,
 said Senator Walsh. Enough, away
 with it. "SinEnIarly enough, the proposal
 commended by two republican Presl-
 dents, including the suggestion as to reservations, has the concurrence of
 every democratic member of the Senate, save the few who were opposed to the
 covenant of the League of Nations, and yet it lies moribund before the commit 1 tee on foreign relations without having any part in any known program of the ma jority party for the work of the cur rent session or any session, for that matter--a subject of jest. indeed. with
 the most of those influential in the framing of such . program.
 Pleas For Support Describing the relation of the world court to the League of Nations, Sena- for Walsh said the United States was free to submit or not to submit any controversy to the court. America may say at any time without offense, he said that the particular controversy is of class which, according to the set tied policy of the United States, is nev- CT submitted to the determination of any
 tribunal or it may decline to submit
 without offering any reason.
 "Now, what is the objection to our
 joining the other nations of the earth in upholdins this agency for peace, feeble though it may be-" asked Sena- tor Walsh. Bear in mind all we are
 asked for is to give to the court our moral support, and to contribute our pittance to the expense of maintaining it. for our nation is now q competent suitor before the court, being mentioned in the annex to the league covenant. We are asked to give it our cordial ap- proval instead of standing on the side
 lines and sneering at it. Again the league"
 eJussifiable Cnotroversies" "Unwarranted expectations are in dulged in by many" Senator Walsh continued, with respect to the world court. It carries no assurance what
 
 between the great powers it will deal
 with no controversies except such as they may care to submit and from it's
 very constitution will deal only with controversies of a justifiable character, not with non n-justifiable controversies,
 the more likely of the two to lead to
 war"
 Dwelling at length on the effects of
 European unsettlement, on American agriculture and business, Senator Walsh asked that cooperation for peace and prosperity be extended drought the league ] of nations wherever possi- ble.
 Il dp not plead for a. reversal of
 the verdict through which the United
 States declined membetship in the legaue,'' he said, Il plead. for the active participation by our goyernment in any effort which may be made through it (the league) or any other channel to bring about restoration

 A possible flaw in this thesis is that while the Old Guard and the lame ducks think Coolidge is gone, Coolidge does not share the opinion, and recent events show he is sometimes disquietly right.
