DEMANDS ABATEMENT.

Chief of Police Thad Logan to-
day declared that he would make
formal order upon the Office of the
district attorney demanding that
the Cicchini poolroom be closed
and abated as a common nuisance
to public welfare.
1.-THE life of one of my men is
more important to me than any
poolroom operators whole family,
and I am going to demand that
some action be taken to close up
the Cicchini place. We have had
enough trouble here already, and
there will be more trouble there If
the place isn't closed up at once.
"Cicchini has been operating
without a permit of any kind. He
will get a crowd of men in his
place and lock the doors so that an
officer cannot get in unless he has
a search warrant. The law is be-
ing openly and fagrantly violated
and the time has come that an ex-
ample should be made"
The district attorney this after
noon had not yet received the or
der from the police chief, but he
intimated that he would do all
he could to carry out the chiefs
order insofar as the law permits.
"If it can be closed, I'll close it,"
he said.

SHOPLIFTERS in
MIDDAY ATTEMPT
Block Brothers Report OPP

ESCAPE WITHOUT LOOT
Police Seek Owners of License
Who Were Seen Leav-

Shop-lifters of the classy variety
that come in a closed car and drive
away with the pick of the store, ar
rived on Main street Friday noon, but
their first essay in plying their trade
in the shopping district proved
failure.
The light fingered folks arrived just
before one o'clock at Block Brothers
store, and attempted to Gift" a few
articles about the place when their ac
tivity was discovered and they escap-

Clerk Sees Stolen Goods.
A man and woman came into the
store about quarter of one o'clock
when there was hardly handful of
clerks in the shop. They were inter-
ested in women's ready-to-wear ap-
parel, and commenced looking over
the various racks. Mrs. Ethel Chase
the clerk in the department, watched
the couple narrowly as there was
something about them which aroused
faint suspicion.
Presently she saw the man take one
of the more expensive gowns and slip
il under his coat. The clerk ran to
him, grabbed, the dress, and was
about to summon assistance, when
the man and woman fastened down the
stairs and out of the store.
Give Description of Pair.
The man appeared to be about 40
years of age, the clerk told her en-
ployer, Sam Block, later. She said he
wore a grey suit and straw hat. The
woman seemed to be about 20 years
of age, and wore rose colored dress.
The was only another clerk on the
same floor with Mrs. Chase at the
time, and she was not near enough
at the time to offer assistance. Meth
er of the partners in the firm were in
the store. AS the clerks rushed to the
street to follow the pair of would-be
shoplifters, they were just in time to
see them whisk off in a sedan, which
appeared to be a Jewett.
Neither of the pair of shoplifters
were operating in other stores down
town during the day, so far as is
known, or if they did succeed their
movements were not detected.

LITTLE BOB"
STATES STAND
r. NJ. LaFOllette Jr. Out
lines His Platform for
the Campaign.
AS A PROGRESSIVE

Madison, : Robert M. LaFol-
lette, Jr., progressive candidate for
nomination at the Republican primary
for the unexpired term Of the late
Senator LaFollette, today announced
his platform and pledged himself to
continue his fathers policies.
Mr.. LaFollette said in his formal
statement that he did not ask support
because he was Senator LaFollette's
son, but at the same time the rela-
tionship "does not disqualify me-" He
asserted he was "free from any deals
or political entanglements."
The statement in part follows:
AS a Progressive"
"I am a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination of United States
senator to fill the unexpired term at
the Republican primary The Re-
publican party of Wisconsin is pro
gressive party, not subject to the con-
troll of the reactionary interests. It
is to the progressive voters of Wis
consin that the state owes it's position
of leadership in the nation.
II am a progressive candidate and
seek the support of the progressive
men and women of the state.
81 am a candidate on the platform
endorsed by the voters of Wisconsin
three years ago when Robert M. La
Toilette was elected to his fourth
term in the United States senate. II
l am chosen to fill out the unexpired
term, l shall do all in my power to
fulfill the pledges and carry out the
program outlined in that platform. It's
spirit and intent shall be the guide
to my public service.
Touches On Relationship.
II do not ask the support of the
people of Wisconsin because l am
Robert M. LaFollette's son. 1 am well
aware that this relationship in itself
does not entitle my candidacy to con
sideration. At the same time the re
lationship does not disqualify me.
ct believe long association with my
father in his public service, intimate
knowledge Of his work in the past and
his plans for the future-the policies
involved, the issues at stake, together
with years of contact with progressive
leaders in and out of public life, will
if 1 am elected to the senate, enable
me to keep the record straight and to
render good service to the state OF
Wisconsin and the nation for the next
three years. A lengthy statement on
various national issues followed.

men interested in the development
and growth Of the community
through the development of real es-
tate, are confident that in a short
time all of the lots available in the

operated in Racine's down town dis
trict Sunday, breaking into two strong
boxes and footing them of $500. They
opened the safe doors with chisels.
The burglars we're bold. One safe,

the store to the rear, where it was
cracked. In its original position, the
safe was plainly visible to the many
people who pass during the night.

GAMBLING RUSE
WOULDN'T WORK
Eugene CUntary Fined $50
and Costs While Other
Cases Drop.
ALL. ABOUT ''CHANGE''

Declaring that he placed no cree
dence in the testimony presented by
witnesses in the case, and believed
that their stories were far from the
truth, Judge John Slater in municipal
court today found Eugene Cuntary,
proprietor of an ice cream parlor at
lit South Rowland avenue, guilty Of
being the keeper of gambling house
and fined him $50 and costs in NUM-
cipal court today. Cases against six
other men found in the place at the
time were dismissed for lack Of evil
dence Of identification.
Cuntary was raided by Detectives
Walter Chase and Frank McClusky on
the night of July q. Chase testified
that he found six men around table
with money in front of each of them
and cards on the table. Four or five
other men were standing around in
the room, he said. The men around
the table were placed under arrest
following a mad scramble for the
money on the table, in which Officer
Chase succeeded in getting $7.95.
Put in Unusual Defense.
The defense represented by Attor-
ney John Kuehnl offered an unusual
alibi which was promptly discounted
by Judge Slater. One of the men ar
rested declared that he had asked
Cuntary to bring him a package of
cigarettes from the front room. He
told the court that he offered TWEEN
ty dollar bill and was receiving the
change in silver-halves and quarters,
when the raid was made. He account
ed in that way for the presence Of
the money on the table and in the
hands Of the men.
az can infer from the testimony
which showed that the money and the
cards were there that gambling was
going on. But / place absolutely no
credence in the testimony Of these
men which attempts to cover it up
with a cigarette purchase story. That's
non-sensical. You can't pull that on
me-"
The six men against whom the cases
were dismissed were Carl I.aciallo, S.
Sheridan road; Carlo Soda, lit S.
Rowland avenue; Alex Moratti, 443
N. Racine avenue, Chicago; Silvestro
Costabile, 1920 JENNIE street; John
