Chicago. - - Albert Borener,
termed a chief clerk for the New ork
Central Lines, was held today for ques-
tioning in connection with the federal
inquiry into railway traffic tricks that
enabled bootleggers to unload large
shipments of beer from eastern brew
cries in Chicago. Secrecy attended his
detention as a result of objection by
investigators to premature publicity
relative to details of the inquiry. Dis
trict Attorney Edwin Oldson threat
ened newspapers with contempt of
court action if they followed too close

Several police captains named by
railway employees in statements have
been interrogated and others may be
questioned before the inquiry reaches

Borener was reported to have told
how carloads of liquor were recon

dodge prohibition agents, and to have
named John Patton, boy mayor of

WOMAN'S BURNS
MAY BE FATAL
Mrs. Abigail O'Hare is Vic
tim of Fire Today at !
Her Home.
COOKING AT STOVE
Clothes Catch Fire While Pre-
pairing the Midday Meal
at a Gas-fIame.

Mrs. Abigail O'Hare, 10, of 763 POM
eroy street, secretary of the Women's
auxiliary of the Catholic Order of
Foresters, was badly burned this
morning at fire at her home. She
is now at St. GATHERINGS hospital
where every care is given the sufferer,
but there is only. a. slight chance
of her eventual recovery from. the
terrible burns received.
Mrs. O'Hare was standing at the gas
stove in the kitchen of her home this
morning about ten-thirty O'Clock MAX
ing preparations for the midday meal.
A gas flame was lighted and she
reached across the stove to move one
Of the pans. There was piece of
paper lying on top of the stove, and
in some way she moved this paper, it
ignited and in turn set fire to the
sleeve of her dress.
Neighbor Comes to Rescue.
In a moment her entire dress was
aflame. Her screams for help brought
to her assistance a woman neighbor
who occupies the fat upstairs at the
same address. Horrifed she rushed
into the room, and tore the burning
clothes from the suffering victim,
scorching her own hands as she did So.
She also summoned the fire depart
ment and engines 3 and A and truck
number 2 responded lead by Assistant
Fire Chief Mike Jacobs. The fire
trucks were followed as usual by the
police ambulance, and Mrs. O'Hare,
suffering badly, was taken in the am
bulance to st, GATHERINGS hospital In
frightful pain though she was, she had
the presence of mind and will-power
to direct the carrying out of some
valuable papers which she feared
would be burned.
At the hospital, DIR. McCluskey at
tended the patient. He found that
two-thirds of her body had been
burned by the flames. Her corset had
been half burned off, her hair had
been burned off, and the flesh was
loose on one arm. The clothing which
had been ripped from her body hung
in battered shreds showing the black
course Of the fire.
Except for the severe burns Of the
victim, there was no serious damage
within the room. A hole had been
burned in the linoleum in front of
the stove.
Mrs. O'Hare's condition was such
that little hope of her eventual re-
covery is held Her two daughters,
who are teachers in the public schools,
were notified of the tragic happening,
and hurried from their class rooms
to the hospital to be at her bedside.

HOUSE BODY HEARS
TAX APPEAL BOARD
Amendments for Incorporation in New
Revenue Bill Formed for Re-
lief of Docket,
Washington, d. G. = :

Washington, d. G. ~. - Oper-
alton of the board of tax appeals
since its creation by the revenue law
of 1924, occupied the attention today
of the house ways and means COM
mittee.
Appropriations recommended by the
budget bureau for the board of tax APP
peals next year will force suspension
of the board, it's chairman today told
the house ways and means committee.
Budget Director Lord has cut the
estimated appropriation for 1927 by
$4,000, chairman Korner declared,
but a cut of $4,000 in the efficiency
appropriations asked for, this year will
force suspension early in the spring.
He said the major expense of the
board was $2T7,000 annually for sal
aries. He did not mention what APP
preparation had been recommended by
the budget bureau which has not made
public its estimates for the next fiscal
year.
While members of the board in
formed the committee of its operations
in dealing as judge between the gov
eminent and taxpayers, Chairman
Green of the committee was preparing
amendments for incorporation in the
new revenue bill to relieve the board
from some of the vast accumulation of
cases coming before it.

CONLEY CHARGE
is DISMISSED
Judge Rules That States
Case Is Too Weak to
Go to jury,
TWO DAYS TESTIMONY

The charge of manslaughter in the
fourth degree placed against Joseph
Conley, following the death on June
13, 1926, of Arthur Saltes, was ordered
dismissed in circuit court today by
Judge E. B. Belden. His order was
short: II can not see that the state
has case in this trial"
The testimony in this case occupied
the attention Of circuit court jury
and the court all day Tuesday and
Monday preceding. 1t was completed at
the close of day on Tuesday and at
that time Judge Belden declared that
he would be ready to hear motions in
the case on the converting of court
this morning.
This morning Attorney Roy Stoph-
enson, who represented the defendant
in the trial, moved that the case be
dismissed on the grounds that the
state had not shown sufficient evil
dence to hold Joseph Conley on the
manslaughter charge. The attorney
argued that throughout the testimony
there was but one witness who could
have been able to give testimony on
behalf of the state, and this witness
declared from the stand that he dozed
off before the accident occurred, and
for that reason was unable to give
any information concerning the cir
cumstances leading up to the accident.
The charge was the result of an &C
cident last summer when Baltes car
figured in a collision with the car
driven by Conley on the Burlington
road a short distance west of the in
tersection Of the North Shore line
tracks.
The state contended that Conley
was not exercising due care on the
road at the time-just before midnight.
The defense introduced testimony to
show that the Baltes car was seen to
approach the Conley car from the OPP
posite direction in zigzag manner.
Testimony for both sides showed
that neither car was speeding at the
time.
Following the action of the judge
Diminishing the case before it reached
the jury, it was learned in court that
the trial of Hugh Morton, acid on
formal charges of murder, would rot
take place today. Formal arraignment
was also postponed until later in the
week, probably Saturday, it was said.
Several circuit court cases were given
priority and these must be heard be-
fore the calendar reaches the maroer
charge.

MAKE PROGRESS
ON NEW CLUE
Police Have Hope Of SOlv-
ing Aenosha's Battling
Murder Mystery.
PLAN FOR INQUEST
Next Formal Step in Investiga-
ton Will Be Continuance of
the CorOner's Inquest.

Intimation that the police depart
ment has by no means despaired of
solving the battling double murder
mystery of the finding of the bodies
of James Sears and Miss Madelynne
Latimer on a road north of Kenosha
nearly two weeks ago, was given today
when Chief Logan stated that rapid
progress was being made in trailing a
clue which was brought to the officials
several days ago.
"In the interests of justice, it is not
possible to divulge the nature of this
new clue" stated Chief Logan this
morning. eve are satisfied, however,
with the progress that is being made,
and nothing has been uncovered to
make the tip less interesting than it
was when it was brought to us. In
due time the details of this angle of
the case will be made public"
1--WE are, however, not neglectirg to
follow other clues in the case" con-
tinued Chief Logan. During this in
vestigation there have been many
will-o'-wisp clues that looked most
promising when we started investiga-
ton but which failed to materialize.
This new one may, of course, be one of
that variety, but just now we are in
clined to think otherwise. In the
meantime we are continuing work on
all other angles of the case"
Carl Sears, a brother Of the slain
man, has indicated his readiness to aid
the officials in any way possible in
solving the mystery. He has returned
from the funeral of his brother in
North Carolina and is ready to unfold
anything to the police which might
help in the case.
The coroner's inquest is the next
formal step in the investigation of the
murder. The coroner's jury has been
named and has completed the first
phase of the probe, that being the
viewing of the bodies to determine the
wounds that caused their death.
After the viewing of the bodies the
inquest was adjourned to meet again
at the call of the coroner. That date
has not yet been set, but it will prob
ably be within a few days.
Miss Evelyn Latimer, twin sister
of the murdered woman, is in Milwau
kee where she is awaiting the call to
appear before the coroner's jury.

COOLIDGE ACCEPTS
S. AMERICAN STATUE
ExtoIs Peaceful Virtues of Countries
On South in Monument
Unwilling.

Washington, D. G.. = -, = South
American craftsmanship with its goal
Of lasting peace was held up as a
model for the world by President
Coolidge today in accepting as gift
from Argentina to the United States
a monument to General Jose de San
Martin, Argentine soldier, patriot and
statesman.
Praising San Martin as Latin Ameri-
cas- George Washington and as one
of the foremost creators of the new
world, the president stressed "the fact
that South American craftsmanship
has all the while been dominated by
an earnest and increasing successful
purpose" to avoid war.
"The will to peace has been pres
ent," he said, "even though the way
to it was not always OPEN.
Now when "men and nations are all
giving heed to the voice which pleads
for peace" the president continued,
they will do we'll to turn to "these
lessons from the craftsmanship, the
experience and the constant aspiration
of the South American nations"
"The continent which of all the,
world" he said, "has known less of
war and more Of peace than any other
through this trying period is well
entitled to pride in the service it has
rendered to its own people and in
the example which it has set for the
rest Of mankind"
The Sophisticated craftsmanship of
an older world" had entertained pro-
found misgivings as to the ultimate
fate of the new American republics
when they first were launched, the
president said. IN.
The constant trend Of international
relationships in South America for
the past century toward the insuring
Of peace, rather than "mero accidents
or coincidence" had saved those coun-
tries, the president declared, from
more disastrous connection with the
world war.
Recalling that the first Pan-Ameri-
can conference was held almost ex-
actly 100 years ago, President Cool
idge said that since then the history
of relationships among the nations
of the new world has been continu-
ing story of effort to substitute the
rule of arbitration, of meditation, of
adjudication and conference for the
rule of force and war.
"To the scholarly craftsmanship of
the Latin-American nations, the world
owes debt which it has been too
tardy in acknowledging" he said. "The
truth is that they have demonstrated
a peculiar genius in the realm of in
ternational accommodation and ac-
cord"

HUNG JURY ENDS
CARAVELLI CASE
Judge Slater Stays Up With
Jury Until One O'Clock
This Morning.
THEN BUSINESSES THEM

Tony Caravelli may call himself a
lucky man today, for the jury in his
case brought in a disagreement in
municipal court at one o'clock this
morning. .Caravelli was charged with
renting room for immoral purposes
to Dominick Costarella and Lucille
Wineski, an offense punishable upon
conviction and imprisonment in the
state prison at Waupun. But new
jury will be drawn and a new trial
held later.
1t was a jury of twelve men and
all night they argued and wrangled.
The jury TODD at a deadlock for
hours. While the twelve men were
sitting around their table on the third
floor of the courthouse, Judge Slater
marked time with them,s waiting in his
study for them to come to a decision.
The clerk of. the court and Captain
Robinson in charge of the jury also
stayed, but the jury held their
strength, six against six until almost
one O'clock. Then the deadlock broke,
and one juror went over to the side
which stood for acquittal, leaving the
vote seven for acquittal and five for
conviction. With this state of affairs
they came before Judge Slater and
declared they could not arrive at an
agreement. They were dismissed.
A few of the Jurors who. held out
for. acquittal said afterwards that they
did not believe the testimony such as
given in the COURTROOM true to human
nature, betraying an ignorance of the
depths of depravity to which human
beings can descend Others of the
jurors had held to vote for acquit-
tai on the grounds that the testimony
of the states chief witness, Lucille
Wineski, was both worthy of credence.
Six of the jurors were equally stead
fast until one left their number; the
other five declared that they would
never give in.
District Attorney Lewis Powell de-
clared that the disagreement of the
jury in this case would not mean a
dismissal of this charge against Tony
/ Caravelli Another charge, that of
unlawful possession of Intoxicating
! liquor, was dismissed on the motion
of the district attorney,
''The case is too important to the
community" said Mr.. Powell, ITO drop
it after the first round. / believe that
part of our failure in this case is due
to the fact that some of the jurors
were unacquainted with certain facts,
deplorable as they are, which are
commonplace in the underworld. We
shall take pains to enlighten another
jury if this is necessary"
Police Officers Commended.
Meanwhile Lieut.. Charles F. Rock,
lead of the detective bureau of the
police department, spoke today in COM
mendation of the two detectives who
/ had made the original arrest. They
/ were John Breidt and Walter Chase.
eve look upon case like this which
/ is social menace" he said, "as more
1 important than a murder case. A
murderer probably kills only one, but
people of the caliber of Domineck
Costerella and Lucille Wineski bring
death and disease to the community.
Therefore when the two detectives
made the arrest of this pair, asked
that they be given creditable mention
by the chief"

DEAF-MUTE is
SOME ACROBAT
Police Put Him in Hospital
After Lively Session
at Station.
ON FORGERY CHARGE

Wedding plans of a deaf mute were
interrupted by the arrival of the po-
lice and this morning the man, John
Miller, is in sorry plight at ST. Cath
crimes hospital, suffering from hurt
pride, broken heart and various other
ailments.
Miller, unfortunate enough to have
lost the use of his tongue and ears,
has, however, lively pair of legs and
stout will when it comes to follow
ing up a. threat to commit suicide, as
Police Sergeant Emil F. Meissner adj
mitted today.
Was Calling on Sweetheart.
1t was Sgt. Meissner who made the
arrest. A complaint had been made
against Miller by the proprietor of the
Kenosha Hotel, who said that the man
had stopped there and then presented
worthless check in payment of his
bill. The police sergeant took up the
trail of Miller and found him at a
boarding house on Prairie avenue,
where he was calling on his sweet
heart. The conversation between the
sergeant|a and the deaf mute was car
ried on by necessity with the aid of
pencil and paper.
Miller wrote down rapidly his denial
of any wrong. He begged to be re-
married on Wednesday of next week.
The police officer wrote SORRY, but
you'll have to come with me-" "Then
I'll kill myself" wrote Miller.
I Miller was taken down to the police
station and conducted to the detective
bureau on the second floor. Again he
wrote on a piece of paper "Pll kill my
self" He showed by gestures that
ne could bite himself to death, and
illustrated by showing where he had
/ bitten a chunk out of his shoulder.
While the sergeant was making
notes upon this singular case, the man
left his chair, jumped to the window
and threw it open. He was caught and
pulled back. Detective Walter Chase
! Just then came in and Meissner told
him that they had character and
probably patient on their hands, and
while they were discussing it, Miller
again rushed to the window and re-
peated his attempt to get outdoors by
the air-way.
The prisoner was brought down
| stairs and there, when left unguarded
for a moment by the two detectives,
he made rush for the gun which Sgt
Matthew Kirsch carried. Miller was
taken into a cell and there he called
attention to himself by leaping into
the air and striking his head against
the bars. He was put into a straight
jacket and taken down to the hospital
where he quoted down. Physicians
called by the police examined the man
and found that his, indeed, is pitifu!
case. In addition to the misfortune
of being deaf and dumb, he is suffer-
ing from leakage of the heart and
from a poisoning of the stomach, it
was reported. An effort is being made
today to find some way of providing
care for the invalid.
