TEWES HOUSE
AT SALEM BURNS
Fire Destroys
Boarding House Early
This Morning.
SECOND FIRE in MONTH
Fire Follows Destruction of Ice
House Across the Road at
Paddock's Lake.

! Fire of mysterious origin complete
ly destroyed the three-story frame
structure known as the Tewes Board
ing House in the village of Salem on
the Geneva road early today. The
entire building and contents, with val
ue estimated at several thousand dol
lars, were destroyed. This noon work
ers in the still smouldering ruins were
going through the wreckage in the
hopes that something might yet be
saved, but it is believed that all was
total loss.
The first evidences of fire were re-
ceived when passing motorist spread
the alarm in Salem shortly after one
o'clock. He had noticed sparks and
flames leaping through the roof on the
north end of the building, and mo-
ment later when he had returned to
the scene Of the fire the entire roof
was in flames.
Bucket Brigade Works.
Fred Schmallfeldt, foreman of the
Tewes Ice company, whose plant stood
across the road from the boarding
house, was asleep in the building at
the time. The smell of smoke soon
awakened him, and he called Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ R. Searles who were the only
other occupants of the building at
the time, also sleeping.
By this time inhabitants of the vii
lage nearby and cottagers at Pad
docks Lake had arrived in time to
form a bucket brigade. Water was
drawn from pump near the burning
building, but it was soon seen that
nothing more could be done to stop
the fire from going through the entire
building.
Destroyed Everything.
? BY dawn the massive structure was
a heap of ruins. The new wreckage
made a striking contrast with the old
lying just across the road. Several
weeks ago the entire ice house of the
Tewes Ice company, proprietors of
which owned the boarding house which
burned today, also was destroyed
along with $4,000 cakes of ice, at a
loss to the company of over $125,000.
The boarding house, too, has had a
colorful history. Fire was discovered
on the second floor just two weeks
ago, but this was soon under control
and no considerable damage was done.
Again just week ago Sunday oc-
cupants Of the building returned one
evening to find every room in the place
ransacked from top to bottom. At
this time nothing of value was taken.
Louis C. Tewes, proprietor of the
property, was at the scene of the fire
today but refused to tell how much
the loss would amount to. 1T will
run into thousands" he limited.

Marie Karuhn, sometimes called the
epicture bride,' will leave Chicago on
August 9Th for New York and for the
steamer to carry her back to the old
country, unless something happens IN
a very short time to turn the wheel
of fortune for her. Marie will take
with her and carry on her arm, the
baby that she found in America, and
she will leave behind the faithless
lover, Edwald Lempke, who deserted
her in Kenosha.
Police Woman Left Today.
! Mrs. Beulah Mcneil of the police
service bureau, who together with Rev.
Carl Buenger of Frieden's Lutheran
church and others, has taken an in
terest in the case, left this morning
for Chicago in order 10 have last
talk with Marie Karuhn and discuss
the situation again with the lmmlgra-
ton officials in that city.
Marie is scheduled for deportation
for two reasons, because she came in
to this country with no one to guar
antee that she will not become public
charge, and because she is held to
be an Immoral character" Marie
was acquainted with Lempke before
she came to Kenosha,N knowing him in
Germany, and therefor cannot be
classed accurately as picture
bride" for she was not wooed on the
strength of her portrait on a bit of
pasteboard, but the moniker has been
given her and sticks.
Told of Ships Surgeon.
Maris said that after she arrived In
America she told her sweetheart of
an assault made upon her, as she al
leges, by the surgeon of the ship on
which she sailed to this country, and
that upon hearing her story, Lempke
deserted her.
Meanwhile a child was born to
Marie, the child of Lempke. The lat
ter refused to marry the young wom-
an, and deserted the scene, so that
efforts to locate him by Marie proved
in vain. Marie's baby is still an
infant
Senator Mckinley and others have
taken an interest in the case and the
fight will be. carried on to keep Marie
in this country until the gang-plank
goes up on the steamer that is sched-
uled to carry her away.

SEEK TO IMPORT
ILLTTERATE LABOR

A few selfish American business IN

crate labor class" as virtual slaves,
Garland w. Powell, director OF Amerl-
canlsm OF the American Legion.
charged in Atlanta. Ga. powells dec.
laration was made during the course
Of ON address before an illiteracy con.
ference called by the Legion for the
state of Georgia.
The Legion man read letter from
New York commercial organization
which stated that the board wanted
this country to admit illiterate lmmi.
grants. IF we exclude all llliterates,
we would be without labor" the letter
said.
Powell said these people seek to es-
tabIish condition OF Industrial
slavery. He declared that they at
tempted TO explain away their attitude
by saying that without illiterates the
nation would be without labor. when
the fact really Ia that they desire H.
Iiterates 80 that they can have unintel-
llgent. unthinking labor. Powell fur
Their charged that such interests we're
seeking to increase immigration 80
that they might enjoy the swollen
profits that otherwise would In some
measure 20 TO intelligent labor. He
added that such move would lower
the standards of education and living
The letter to which he referred said
in part:
we notice the slogan In the
first page Of your leailet which reads
as follows; NO Illiteracy by 1927. II
is not quite clear what this slogan
means. If 1t means that no lllIterates
are to be admitted Into the United
States as immigrants. II raises seri-
GUS question and the board would not
approve such stoppage. The labor
class is one that we do not raise In the
United States; 1t must be imported. II
we exclude all illiterates. we would be
without labor"
This Idea, according TO Mr.. Powell,
means that large section of business
believes that America does not believe
In the dignity of labor. II believes
that America must go on and on. i'm
porting ''the scum and rifr-raff of Eu-
rope, until the majority of our people
is composed of scum and riff-rafr."
These things. he declared, are abso-
lutely opposed by the American Lee
gion- He argued that under present
immigration laws of America, foreign
nations make sure that the emgrants
leaving their shores are of low type
of humanity. almost impossible of as
similation here.
