George BullamOre, SOmers
Civil War Veteran,
Commits Suicide.
WAS TOO LONESOME
Lonesome for My Wife and
Old Comrades" Is Cause
Assigned for Deed.

Lonesome for his wife and for the
comrades of his youth, most of whom
are now dead, George Bullamore, 80
years, veteran of the Civil war and
for many years resident Of the town
Of Somers in Kenosha county, COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself
Thursday night at the home of his
son, l.. c. Bullamore, in the village of
Waterford in Racine county, accord
ing to messages received in Kenosha
today.
TIL eveteran's body was found hang
ing from a bedpost in his room. In
his pocket was note reading:
'rLord, forgive me for what I am
about to do but am lonesome-lone-
some for my wife and for the COM
rades Of my youth"
George Bullamore had been pion-
eer resident of Somers in Kenosha
county and had lived there until FIVE
years ago when he went to Water
ford to make his home with his son.
He was widely known throughout Ke-
nosha and Kenosha county and the
news Of his death will come as per-
sonal sorrow to large circle of
friends and relatives here.
The deceased was one of the most
illustrious Civil war veterans of south
ern Wisconsin, He had served for a

TAX LAND VALUES
NOT FARM VALUES
Grimstad of Dane County Will Propose
New Law for Taxing of
Lands in State.

Madison, Wis.-TaXes on land values
rather than on farm values and other
forms of industrial development were
advocated by Edward Nordman, COM
missioner of markets, today in endors-
ing the bill which Assemblyman Carl
Grimstad, Dane County, will introduce
at the coming session of the state
legislature.
when land prices are high, farm
values are low, and when land prices
are low, farm values are high" Com
missioner Nordman said. "This appar-
ent inconsistency is explained by the
fact that in all history high or infat-
ed land prices have curtailed the OPP
portunities of the masses and cut short
their purchasing power.
improvements, livestock, machinery,
ETC., are the equipment for producing
farm wealth. There Is now and for
number of years there has been a
poor sale for this equipment because
it cannot be put to profitable use, and
as a result farm values are low.
"The cure for this situation, and in
fact the only permanent cure for it,
is to remove the cause o. the trouble
by taking the initiation out of land val
ues. Taxes on land values rather than
on farm values and other forms of in
dustrial development will bring this
about, and it will do so without hurt
ing any industry or any bona fide
producer of wealth. 1t is also well to
note here that since land values are
nearly all in the cities and on mineral
and water power land, this shifting
Of taxes would immensely tighten the
burden of state and federal taxes on
the farming communities"

for the appointment of the said dance
supervisors and for the setting Of the
salary at four dollars for each dance
supervised.
The ordinance would also set an
age limit, allowing no one under
seventeen unless accompanied by par
ents or guardian. A closing hour of
midnight for Saturday and one
o'clock on other nights was suggested
which met the approval of the board.
A rider on this clause, however, pro-
vided for an exception by written ap-
plication and for this reason the
board rejected that part of the article.
A section suggesting that the rules
and regulations adopted by the Amer
lean National Dancing Masters as
ISOLATION as the standard rules was
also rejected.
Another section, approved by the
board forbade the use of Intoxicating
liquors in any dance hall and forbade
persons under the influence of liquor
or drunk from dancing. Another Sec
ton provided that the dance hall and
all adjoining rooms be at all times
well lighted and that property adj
J0IH4LE 1OI LVO 4CCb US dlSO VIGIL
lighted.
Object To Penalty.
The ordinance as proposed suggest
ed that on violation of the rules, the
license be revoked and no permit re-
assured either to the person holding
it or for the dance hall where the
violation had occurred for a period of
six months. Several supervisors felt
the period set was too long and for
that reason this was also rejected.
The supervisors showed clearly that
they intended to weigh each provision
before passing the ordinance.
It is understood that similar ordi-
nance will be passed to regulate
dances in the city and for that reason
one clause exempts dance halls with
in the corporate limits of Kenosha
from the provisions of the ordinance.
In attendance both on Wednesday
and Thursday at the meetings of the
county board where the dance hall
bill was being considered, were sew
eral representatives of the Parent
Teachers associations of the county,
County Probation officer Miss Sybil
Campbell, and several others who have
been interested in the measure.

COUNTY AGREES
TO LAND SWAP
County and City to Elk
change Even in Widen
ing Projects.
ADOPT PLAN TO-DAY

The exchange of sites for the new
Kenosha county court house made be-
tween the city and county in August
1922, bobbed up again before the
county board this morning when a
supplemental agreement was entered
into whereby q new exchange was
made, providing for the widening of
Sheridan road and Market streets.
When the county exchanged the site
originally purchased for the new court
house for the one which is now being
used for that purpose, one of the
terms Of the exchange was that the
county would meet portion Of the
cost of the securing of the court
which is to be located across Market
street from the new court house and
which is a part of the civic center
project. The city has purchased the
greater part of this property and
negotiations are underway for the
purchase of the remainder.
Agreed to Exchange.
The county has the site on which
the old court house now stands and
which is to be included in the nego-
tiations. Under the terms of the
original contract the city agreed TO
accept strip along Market street off
Of this property for street widening
purposes, allowing the county credit
for an equal amount in its share in
the park court project
The supplemental agreement enter
ed into today agrees that similar
exchange will take place regarding the
strip of land needed by the city for
the widening of Sheridan road out Of
the old court house property. The
city is to give the county credit for
an equal amount in the new court
site and in return the county will
deed the 3O1s foot strip along Sheri-
dan road to the city.
In each Instance the exchange Is
foot for foot, one site being consld-
cred as valuable as the other.
Leaves Residue Each Place.
The two exchanges leaves residue
to be determined upon by future ne
gotiations. The county will have a
part of the site on which the old
court house now stands to dispose of
1t, but will also still have residue of
it's share in the court park project to
settle with the city for on terms es-
tablished in the original agreement.
The new exchange was presented to
the county board by City Attorney C.
E. Randall, acting for the city. It
was accepted by large majority by
the county board.
The. county board this morning also
set the salary for the engineer for
the new court house at $4,000.
The board adjourned at noon for all
day, having voted to attend the funeral
services of County Treasurer Thomas
8. Scott this afternoon and to hold no
session Of the board and to close all
county offices during the afternoon in
tribute to his memory.

NEW CHEVROLET
MAKES BIG HIT
Startles Auto Show Crowds
at New York With
Beauty Of Lines.
WORK DAY AND NIGHT

More interest was aroused by the
display of the new Chevrolet line at
the New York Automobile Show than
has been accorded any new car intro
duced for more than decade, accord
ing to veteran automobile men who
have been present at the greater ma
jority, if not all, of the rs national
aatomotive exhibits held in the east
ern metropolis.
Opinions of both experts and the
general public followed the same
trend--frst of admiration and then
the puzzled question, Chow can the
Chevrolet company do it at the price.
The exhibit was visited by practically
every automotive representative pres
ent Friday and Saturday, the two days
reserved for the trade, and it proved
the mecca for the general public
through the eight days following.
Comment On Beauty.
The general beauty of, the line was
most commented upon. The new semi
elliptic springs and longer frame We'd
with the new lines and roomier bodies
in exciting praise. The Duco finish in
colors for all models was another
feature favorably commented upon. In
fact the general remarks of show Wis
itors clearly showed that the plain
black enameled automobile will not
find much favor with the car pur-
chaser of 1925.
Chevrolet factories are working day
and night to full capacity to supply
the demand for the new cars. If the
reception rendered the first showing
of the line is criterion, these super
Tor models will smash the high records
previously made.

I'M THE LEGISLATURE
Nearly Half of the Members of the

while farming interests claim seven,
plus Senator William A. Titus, Fond
du Lac, who is termed a quarry
operator and farmer" and Senator J.
l.. Barber, Marathon, who is "physi-
clan, banker and farmer"
Two law students in the lower
house, however, swell the ranks of
Legislators to twelve.
Beth houses record a great diver
gity OF occupations. No less than
eighteen are listed in the senate, and
there are thirty-fve in the lower
house. Five assem- blymen are on the
books as retired farmers, one as re-
tired cheesemaker, one as a retired
merchant, and two merely as retired"

one housewife-Mrs Helen NJ. Brooks,
Coloma, one of the three women elect
ed last November The other two,
Miss Mildred Barber, Marathon, and
Miss Helen Thompson, Park Falls, are
school teachers.

altogether and the senate one. The
assembly also claims two bankers, two
contractors, two real estate men, three
insurance men, and two labor secre-
taries. There is one member listed
as a teacher and salesman.

Joseph Machiulis Guilty of
Being a MoOnshiner by
Verdict in Court.
HAD DE LUXE STILL
Was Owner of 100 Gallon Still
and Complete Outfit at
PIG N. Edward st.

One thousand dollars and costs, the
biggest fine ever handed out in the
municipal court to first offender in
a liquor case, was whqt Joseph Machi-
ulis has just drawn here upon his con-
vicition Of being the owner of the' i'm
mense still and naoonshine equipment
found by the police at the garage at
219 North Edward street
The jury in the case of the state VS..
Joseph Machiulis reached verdict
late Thursday afternoon, finding the
man guilty of the offense.
Sentence is Then Given.
Judge Slater lost no time in pro-
nouncing sentence upon the man, who
is believed to have carried on moon
shine making and vending business
larger than any previously discovered.
"The court finds you guilty" said
Judge Slater, "and you will pay
fine of 1000 and costs or scand COM
mitted to the county jail for period
of six months or until such fine and
costs are paid"
Machiulis went to Jail, and sent for
such bags and baggage as he would
Wanted the Still Back.
The verdict Of guilty was reached
by the jury after a days trial in the
case, with the defense putting up the
usual stiff fight against conviction.
Machiulis himself took the stand and
denied ownership Of the still proper
ty. The still. large as life, stood in
the middle of the courtroom for all
the Jurors to look at, much to the
"peeve" Of the defense counsel, who
could not see why, when he was will
ing to admit that a still had been
found in the garage, the police should
drag it in the courtroom"
But the jury had to consider to-
gether with Machiulis verbal denial,
the fact that he had signed an aft
davit, claiming illegal titfe to the
premises" and asking the return OF
the still and so forth to the premises,
when a motion was argued in the case
Of the state VS.. Machiulis in the fall.
Ends Spectacular Raid.
The raid on the Machiulis garage
on September 25, 1924, was the most
spectacular one ever made by the po
lice. The officers making the raid
were Sergeant Kramer, Sergeant
Meissner, Detective McCluskey and
Police Officer La Point.
The scene at the garage staggered
even the hardened raiders, for they
found in the garage near the corner
of North Edward and Slossom streets
a complete distilling equipment, end
everything which suggested a moon
shine making business forproft. IN
addition to the hundred gallon still
there were hundreds Of gallons OF
moon and COO gallons Of discarded
moonshine mash under the flooring.
In a cornfeld nearby the police found
some bottles OF Chartreuse without
the kick, Indicating that the moon
makers purchased the hayoring Of old
wines, added raw moon and then
vended the combination.
