Colored Man Charged With
Hold-up at Pool Room
Has Trial Today.
AULOZZI Is WITNESS
Defense Brings Out Fact that
Complaining Witness Has
Prison Record.

Milton Howard, colored, went to
trial this morning in the circuit court
before Judge Belden on the charge of
robbery while armed at the poolroom
of Angelo Amici and Louis Cesare at
ITO Park street on March 20, 1924.
Louis Aulozzi, an employe, was in
charge at the poolroom at the time
of the alleged hold-up, and he was
the only complaining witness for the
state who could give testimony about
the events of that night.
On cross-examination Attorney Ed
ward Ruetz, representing the defend
ant, brought out the fact that Aulozzi
has served time in the state prison for
manslaughter, which took place in the
town of Somers in 1914. He admitted
that he was sent to Waupun for six
years.
Aulozzi insisted that he could iden-
tify Howard as colored man who, as
he claimed, had entered the poolroom
and held him up at eight thirty o'clock
on the twentieth of last March.
According to the story given on the
witness stand by Aulozzi he was alone
in the poolroom when two colored men
walked in, one was Howard, and the
other a man known as Sonny" Au-
lozzi said both were armed. He said
that he had seen Howard two or three
times week before that. On March
18th, just before the alleged hcld-up,
he said that Howard was in the pool
room at $50 in the morning when
Amici came in with $500 which the
latter gave him, Aulozzi, to put in
he safe.
On cross-examination the witness
was not certain of the time, but was

COPPERS OUT
FOR A RAISE
KenOsha Police to Present
Petition to Council for
Salary Increase.
PAY Is NOT ADEQUATE
Present Wage Declared made
quate in Petitions Signed by
Many Members of Dept.

Petitions asking for an increase in
pay for the members of the Kenosha
police department are now in circula-
ton and will probably be presented
to the council at the next regular
meeting, according to information
made public today. These petitions
maintain that the present wage of the
police officials is not living wage
and that an increase of SIS month
should be granted by the council.
1t was learned this morning that
practically every member of the po-
lice department has signed the petit
ton and that it will probably be COM
pleted in time to be presented at the
meeting Of the council on next Mon
day evening.
Present Salary Inadequate.
The petition which will probably be
presented reads as follows:
Whereas, we feel that the salary
paid to US as patrolpien is inadequate
to our needs and to enable US to live
in a comfortable manner, and
Whereas, we feel that the salary
paid to US is not living wage, and
Whereas, we in our humble judg-
ment feel that we might take the lib
erty of petitioning your honorable
body for an increase in our wages,
therefore, we ask. and petition that.
if in the opinion Of your honorable
body, it be practical, you grant US an
increase in wages, suggesting that
the sum of $25 a month as an in
crease would be adequate and greatly
appreciated by u.s."
The present scale of wages for the
patrolmen is from $140 to $3.50 a
month according to the length of
service 1t is anticipated that should
an increase in one grade be granted
similar increase in other grades
would be made by the council.
1t is declared that the demands up
on police officer have greatly in
creased since the present wage scale
was fixed and that it is absolutely
necessary to allow an increase if suit
able men are to be retained in office.
The police officers work eight hours
day and in addition are often called
out for duty for emergencies, bring
ing their service up to more than the
ordinary number of hours week. It
is also pointed out that their work
is most hazardous at times and calls
for q. high grade of efficiency.
It is possible that supporting petit
tions signed by property owners, not
members of the police department,
urging the granting of the increase
sought by the patrolman as just
one will also be filed with the coun-
Gil.

Luna Original Moon Deity.

Luna is the Latin name for the
moon. To the Romans, however. Luna
YVES not q planet, but goddess, who
drove her silver chariot across the
sky. This goddess was not always
gentle and kind and was believed
sometimes to drive insane those who
had seriously offended her.
From this old superstition the word
"lunatic" grew up. But there was
another deity, q far more important
one named Diana, and since she was
q sister Of the sun god, Apollo. she
must, argued her worshipers, have
something to do with the moon. To
her, therefore gradually were trans
ferred the qualities Of Luna, until In
time the two were merged into one
conception. Luna, however, was the
original Roman moon goddess, and
her worship dates back to the time Of
Romulus, founder Of Rome. in T5S B.
