tion, which was charged by the fed
eral government in a civil action tried
here with violating the Sherman anti

Hunt Thief Who
Kept Only EUen
Money of Victims

The latest kind of holdup man to
be entered on police complaints is the
seven money thief" so peculiar a
species that the sergeant who received
the report "kidded" the complainant a
bit, and asked if he didn't instead lose
the money in some "little game"
The report of the holdup was made
by A. Dishno, 226 Newell street.
Dishno said that as he was walking
down Newell street just alongside the
bicycle shop shed of the Cooper I'm
derwear company, man jumped for
ward and stuck a gun into his face,
and then rifled his pockets.
''The thief got $780," said Dishno,
shut he returned $3.50 to me-"
1t was this last statement that
started the inquiry, but the only thing
for the police to do was to duly enter
the report of the. even money thief
and notify all patrolmen of the alleged
holdup. The only description Dishno
could give was man "six foot tall"
He could give no other description,
explaining this by saying he was too
excited at the time to pay any atten-
ton to the mans appearance.

A result of the conference was the
constructive program for study and
work which was drawn up. Interest

cussed, which could not have been
brought out openly and presented had
not the assembly of women been as
fearless as it was earnest.

She urged Kenosha women to take
active steps in creating sentiment for
world peace, and to cooperate with
the movements already under foot.

SEARCH RENEWED
Aces of Milwaukee Sheriff's
Office Follow Clues
Out of Racine.
FLEEING MAN SOUGHT
Follow Tip that Another Man
Disappeared from Racine
Shortly After Murder.

Undaunted by the maze of clues
that have come and gone since the
cruel murder of Jimmy Sears and
Madalynne Latimer on the night OF
October IA, the full strength of the
Milwaukee sherif's department has
been thrown into the case with re-
newed vigor, it is reported from
Milwaukee, and the first step is the
sending out on the case yesterday OF
two detective "aces."
Two of the best crime Investigators

came to Racine yesterday to run down
what they believe are valuable new
clues in the mysterious killing on the
lonely Norths Rowland avenue road.
John Mahoney and Henry Bender
are the detectives out on the case with
Undersheriff Sura.
Their search led them into hidden
ravines about Racine where men en-
gagged in crime in the past have been
known to have been sheltered, Inter-
viewed at Racine both Mahoney and
Bender admitted that they are in pos
session of facts which might lead to
the solution of the month old mystery.
Fleeing Man Is Clue.
They came to Racine, they said, in
search of a man who left his home
believed to have been either on
Twelfth street or Twelfth road, the
day following the finding OF the bodies
of the slain lovers covered over with
grass in the ditch beside the road
where Sears automobile had been
parked when the murderous' attack
took place. This man left hurriedly
and has not been seen since, the
deputies said.
The two detectives refused to state
if they had found any of the evidence
they sought while in Racine. But
both were in hurry to get back
to Milwaukee after their flying
visit" to Racine.
Frequent consultations were held
with Undersheriff Sufa by the Mill

CAIRO TO EXHIBIT
KING TUT TREASURES
Gorgeous Jewels Found as Wrappings
About the Boy Pharoah Mummy
Are Severed.

Cairo The treasures
found in the tomb of the boy king,
Tut 1Ankh-Amen, Soon will be brought
to the Cairo museum for exhibition.
Meanwhile as they are being fur
nished the tomb will be closed to Wis
itors.
The evidence thus far adduced
through an inspection of the mummy
in its coffin of gold tends to show that
it is that of male, not yet an adult,
and that when death came the person
was greatly emaciated. The mummy
was not removed from its case, but
instead the wrappnigs about it were
cut through from the mask to the
feet.
During the work a large number of
interesting and beautiful objects were
brought to- view, The ministry of
works here says that both forearms of
the mummy were loaded with magni-
ficent jewels. Other objects brought
to light were amulets and collarettes:
superb gold dagger with crystal
handle, bracelets of intricate work
manship and finger rings of divers
materials.
Another dagger also was found and
several large inlaid pectorals, bead
work ornaments and golden circlets
on the feet of Tut Ankh-Amen were
golden sandals, and each toe and each
finger had upon them golden stalls.
Only the lower part of the body and
the limbs of the Pharaoh had been
eS posed to the view of the workers in
the tomb up to last Friday. and the
operation is of such a delicate nature
that further progress will be slow.
Just as soon as possible the objects
found will be cleaned and restored,
after which they will be brought here
and placed on exhibition.

RED CROSS IN
1926 ROLL CALL
Urge KenOshans to Enroll
Again and Continue
Membership.
NO ACTIVE CAMPAIGN

Because Kenosha has the Commun-
ity Chest fund to take care of all of
it's charitable and institutional fnanc-
ing there is no active campaign in Ke-
nosha in connection with the annual
Red Cross Roll Call. But the local
officials have always recognized a
large number of Kenoshans who con-
tinue to renew their membership in
the American Red Cross each year,
and it is to these that the call is an
nounced for renewing the 1926 menu
berships.
The appeal was issued today by Miss
Beulah English, in charge of the
American Red Cross branch here.
"There are four types of member
ships" Miss English explained, sin
volving $25, $40, SIS and 81 member
ship fees. All of this money SUBJ
scribed in Kenosha is turned over to
the national headquarters of the
American Red Cross for use in emer-'
gencies such as those that have called
on the services of the Red Cross as a
relief organization in the past"
No Formal Soliciting.
The campaign, so far as Kenosha is
concerned, is one merely of announce
ment. All subscriptions to the Red
Cross Roll Call must be sent to Miss
English at the American Legion head
quarters in the former county court
house building on Market street. All
checks should be payable to the Amer
lean Red Cross and each membership
is acknowledged with membership
card and button. There will be no
active soliciting of memberships, nor
will there be campaign for sub
scriptions.

According to the story which San

the saloon, won some money, and then
was jumped on by the whole bunch
who took $75 from him.
When the police squad consisting
of Sergeant Meissner and Detectives
McCluskey, Chase and Tusler, arrived
at the saloon, John Alter who was
behind the bar, got rather excited.
He he'd a glass of liquor in his hand
and he plunged it into the sink. But
