To Service Mems Post

Manitowoc, wis., AT a re-
union of service men and women here
last night, President George Wits Of
the Aluminium Goods Manufacturing
company, presented Guy Drews Post

worked in America this summer. The
group is in aluminium bronze, about
twenty-five inches in height. The
center figure is an American dough-
boy symbolizing the clean, strong
spirit of America. In his arms, the
stalwart soldier supports a wounded
poilu who typifies the war-worn
Allies.
Mr.. Wits became interested in the
work of Moretti and decided 20 secure
a work for Manitowoc and hit upon
the happy plan of making it gift to
the local Legion post.

BARN FAILS TO
YIELD TREASURE
Man Bought Maps from
Convict Hunts Hay Now
to His Disillusion.
OUT LABOR AND Sill

The mystery which has surrounded
the supposed haymow buried treasure,
estimated to total $12,50O, somewhere
in Racine county, was pierced and the
story exploded as a myth, when Carl
Sievert, the man who purchased the
plans and maps from Stanley Weber
while both were serving time in the
house of correction at Milwaukee,
went to the farm of John Rowlands
in the Burlington neighborhood and
cut down 200 feet of closely moved
hay onlyIto discover that the reputed
wealth had not been hidden there.
Sievert is today a wiser, but poorer
man, minus his $11 which he paid to
his prison mate which he confidently
expected was to make him rich.
Rowlands, who lives on highway 20
out of Racine, lent his visitor assist
ance. Together they went to Row
lands, cut away the haymow by hours
of work and even ripped up some of
the flooring, but there was no such
found.
Sheriff On the Scene.
Sievert first visited Rowlands a few
days ago, telling the farmer how he
wished to search for the treasure in
the hay barn. Rowlands told him it
was not convenient to make the search
that day, but to return in a few days
and he would help him. Sievert did
as told. Meantime Sheriff Herzog Of
Racine, was tipped off and in company
with two deputies he went to the Row.
lands farm and was present when the
search was made. Sievert had already
arrived in a taxicab from the Racine
North Shore station. When the floor
was reached, Sievert dug about in the
dirt for time but finally gave up in
disgust.
On questioning by the sheriff
Sievert told his story. He was serving
time in the Milwaukee house of cor
rection for abandonment when he met
Weber. Then he bought the treasure
hunt plans from Weber for $11. Later
he was transferred to Waupun peni-
tertiary, and when released he came
to look for his treasure.
Plans That Cost Him Sill.
The plans sold to him were roughly
drawn ION the back of typewriter
letter, showing a roadway marked
highway 20, the Rowlands farm with
the house, barn, silos and hay barn
designated. They directed that the
search be made in the northwest
corner of the hay barn. A note at
tached to the plans read as follows:
"Please let this man, Charley
Sievert, in the barn to get my money.
Without hard feeling, Frank Whuerl
Herrick."
Sievert said he was told that the
money had been stolen from a real
estate man and hidden under the hay
NOW. Weber claimed that he was at
one time employed on the Rowlands
farm.

CHICAGO FIGHTS
DISEASED MILK
Mayor Framing Law For
bidding INFESTED Milk
to Be Sold.
INJUNCTION CONTESTED

Mayor Dever of Chicago, announced
last night hat he has under prepara-
tion city ordinance to be presented
to the Chicago city council for action
at an early date, forbidding the de-
livery to Chicago homes of milk from
INFESTED cows. Such action, if taken,
will bring the milk war, which for
the past week has been waging in
>Kenosha county and nearby rural COM
munities, to a crisis.
Kenosha county's milk supply, after
the needs of Kenosha city are sup
piled, is sold and shipped to Chicago
dealers. While tuberculin tested dairy
herds are found in many sections of
the county, and are increasing daily
through the signing of agreements by
dairymen with the shippers, there are
still a vast number of herds in the
county and immediate district that are
not tested. In many cases their own
ers are waging bitter fight against
testing on the grounds that lit will
mean large pecuniary loss to them to
dispose of old herds and acquire new.
1t has been stated by officials here
closely connected with the milk de-
livery supply, that at the present date
approximately 20 per cent of all of
the dairy cows of Kenosha county are
infected in greater or less degree with
tuberculosis. This does not mean that
this percentage is confined to dairy
men who dispose of their milk to Ke-
nosha or to Chicago shippers. 1t in
cludes all cows in the county used for
home supply. The small herds, in fact,
are said to be more generally affected
than the commercial dairy herds.
The more enterprising dairymen are
eager for the area test rule, which
requires every COW in a given area
or county to be tested for disease
under the laws laid down by the state.
This would safeguard their herds
against disease which might be COM
municated to their cows from small
neighboring herds which are not given
the proper care.
Mayor Dever, in his battle for tuber-
culin tested milk with which to sup
ply Chicago, says he sees no reason
why thirty cities in Illinois may pass
and maintain test ordinances, and
Chicago be. barred from doing the
same.
Both the mayor and Corporation
Counsel Busch of Chicago, indicate
they will fight in the courts to dis
solve. the injunction granted by Cir
cult Judge Fulton on the plea of a
group of dairy farmers with diseased
herds. The injunction prevents Dr.
Bundeson, Chicago's health officer, and
even the Illinois milk dealers from
ordering or advocating tuberculin
tests for cattle.
Hopes for a settlement out CT court
| were expressed after announcement
there would be a conference today
| between Commissioner Bundeson and
| Attorney Weymouth Kirkland, one of
the lawyers for the dairymen who OBJ
tanned the injunction.

RAID RECALLS
OLD PROMISE
Raid On Zimmerman's
Recalls Promise When
Permit Was Issued.
NOT SAME OWNER NOW
Atty. Runge Agreed to Gust
Operator for Law Violation;
No Longer Owner.

&c. w. Zimmerman, operator of a
saloon at 352 Grand avenue, entered a
plea of not guilty to charge of pos
session and sale of liquor in the NUM-
cipal court late Thursday. His case
was continued to December 10th at
a. M, bonds $780,"
So read an item in this paper on Fri
day. But there is more to this tale
as was recalled this morning when in
vestigation revealed that this was the
place where, when the permit was
granted, it was agreed with the council
that the permit holder would be ousted
from the place in the event that there
was violation of the law there.
Now the question arises as to wheth-
er Zimmerman will lose his place in
the event that he is convicted Of the
charge placed against him.
Permit Was Withheld.
Zimmerman's permit was one of
those which was withheld when it was
first presented to the council. When it
was taken up for consideration at the
regular meeting Of the council on the
night of September 21st, Attorney Will
liam E. Runge appeared before, the
council in behalf of the applicant. At
torney Runge explained that he held a
trust deed to the property, having Sc
cured it in lieu of money owed to him
for attorneys fees by Peter Juskewicz,
the former owner.
In discussion of the question, Alder
man w. H. Afford, president Of the
council, emphasized the responsibility
of property owners to secure enforce
ment of the law.
+. evil you agree to put Zimmerman
out Of the place if he violates the
law?" asked President Afford of Attor-
ney Runge.
Eyes, sir" was the answer. The
council thereupon granted the permit.
Not the Owner Now.
Attorney Runge, when asked this
morning regarding the situation stated
that he was no longer interested in
the property in question as the trust
deed had been redeemed by the former
owner.
"The owner, however, is client of
mine," he said, "and I will use my in
fuence to see that the promise is kept
in the event that Zimmerman is found
guilty Of law violation. 1t must be
remembered that he is now only
charged with law violation and has en-
tered a plea of not guilty"

RATE MAY BE
CUT SLIGHTLY
Budget for 1926 to be Pre-
scented to City Council
This Evening.
CUT TO A MINIMUM
Contemplated Budget Shown an
Increase of About $4,000
Over Last Year.

What's Kenosha's budget of expendi-
lures for the year 1926 will be is to
be the question decided this evening
at the regular meeting of the city
council at the city hall. The tenta.
tive budget has been prepared and
will be presented to the council. this
evening for definite action.
While definite announcement re-
garding the budget can not be made
until final action has been taken by
the council, City Manager c. M. Os.
born gave out this morning some facts
regarding the tentative budget which
has been prepared under the di-
rection of the council and which in
general will probably be adopted this
evening. There may, however, be some
minor changes when final action is
taken.
Slightly in Excess of 1925.
The tentative budget calls for an ap-
preparation of $1,264, 45927 for the eA.
penses of all departments of the city,
exclusive of the costs of operation of
the city schools. Last year this sum
was set at $1,377 ,672.70 but it included
an appropriation of $150,000 for re-
volving fund for the carrying on of
paving and other public improvement
work. The state tax commission, which
annually audits the accounts of the
city, has directed that this revolving
fund is not to appear in the budget
but be carried over from year to
year.
Taking this fact into consideration
the proposed budget for 1926 is $780,.
1864 in excess of the one for 1925.
This is an increase of about 2.7 per
cent and is no more than is normally
expected in keeping with the growth
of the city, which lays upon the gov
eminent additional expense.
Will Set Tax Rate.
The tax rate for the coming year will
also be set this evening by the city
council There has been no general
increase in property valuations of the
city but the normal increase due to new
buildings and equalization of assess
ments will provide enough of an in.
crease to take care of the small in
crease in the budget. There is possi-
bility of slight decrease in the mill
tax rate next year.
In announcing the approximate fig
ures for the budget, City Manager
Osborn stated that expenses had been
pruned to a minimum as would be re-
vealed when the complete figures are
made public following definite action
by the city council this evening.
The street naming ordinance will
probably not be considered by the
council this evening as it has beer
determined to grant little more time
to the residents of the city to file
suggestions regarding it with the coun.
Gil. It will probably be taken up fol
action at the second meeting in De
cember.

FAILS
TO FIX REGISTER
Police Learn of Bogus
Cash Register Man
Operating Here.
SHOP -LETERS BUSY
PeItier Furniture Store Tells of
Petty Lifters Who Do
''SnoOping Early"

Swindlers and shoplifters have made
their presence felt in the city during
the past week and Chief Of Police Lo-
gan suggested this morning that mer-
chants be more on their guard than
ever against this type which comes to
the surface each holiday season.
Arthur Peltier, proprietor of the fur
niture store at 800 Elizabeth street.
has Informed the police that daytime
thieves had been making away with ar
ticles in his store during the past
week. Shoplifters had not been
baked even by the bulk of bedspreads,
but had carried off spreads amounting
in value to 500 during the week. Over
a period of four weeks Peltier has lost
about 500 in merchandise, it is said,
due to light fingers.
Seek Register Swindler.
Another species Of swindler to be on
guard against, the chief pointed out, is
the bogus cash register man, who is at
present operating in Wisconsin.
On Thursday a man who represented
himself to be the cash register man of
the National Cash Register company
came to the Thurman store at the corr
ner of Rowland avenue and Pomeroy
street. He desired to adjust the regis
ter, but Thurman told him that there
was nothing wrong with it and refused
to allow the stranger to touch it,
On Friday the true representative of
the cash register company came to the
Thurman store and learned that an
advance agent" had been in advance
of him. He said that the first man
was fraudulent representative.
Swindler Looked Green.
Thurman gave description of the
bogus register man to the police. He
said that he appeared to be about 23
years of age and looked like a green
hand.
The police are re-doubling their vig-
lance in bringing in Migrants and sus-
picious characters to police headquar-
ters, but the chief suggested that 9TH
ers may help "exterminate the pests"
too by attempting to catch the shop
filters or notifying the police at once
of swindling operations.

Endorse G. o. p. Policy,
Campbell to LaFollette

Washington, D. CT "A sug-
gestion that Senator-elect LaFollette
of Wisconsin, be required to endorse
major policies set out in the Repub-
lican platform of 1924 before he is
admitted to the ranks of senate Re-
pubhcans has been advanced to some
senate leaders by w. ]. Campbell,
Oshkosh, chairman of the state execu-
tive committee of Wisconsin.
"If fairness demands that Senator
LaFollette Or any one else who tried
to defeat the Republican party and
President Coolidge in the fall of 1924,
shall now be treated as Republicans,
then fairness to all Republicans and
common honesty demands that he or
they first declare the endorsement of
major policies of the Republican party
as set forth in its platform of June
1924. 1t was on this platform which
LaFollette repudiated, that President
Coolidge was elected. Any other
course is a Reputation of principle
and a disregard of the mandate of
the people"
