HOLD MAN ON
BIGAMY CHARGE
SAINT COstanci Admits
Marrying With One
Wife Undiyorced.
WE'D AT WAUKEGAN
Marriage to Mrs. Anna Pinga-
tore Last Saturday Re-
suits in Arrest Here.

Santi Costanci, 35, is in the city
Jail charged with biganly, while De-
tective Sergeant Emil Meissner and
Detective Perry Tusler are investi-
eating the circumstances under which
he married Mrs. Anna Pingatore at
Waukegan last Saturday. Costanci
admitted to the detectives when he
was formally placed under arrest to-
day that he had a wife living in
Italy, from whom he had not been
divorced.
Mrs. Pingatore is the widow of the
late Tony Pingatore, police officer
who was killed in August, 1919, DUR
ing the robbery of the American
Brass company offices here and for
which killing Earl Loveday is serv-
ing time at Waupun. She has been
receiving a monthly sum out of the
police pension fund for her support
since that time.
The information of the secret
marriage was given to the de-
tectives by District Attorney Lewis
Powell, and Sergeant Meissner inn
mediately located Costanci at his
bench in the American Brass come
pany. When he was brought to the
police department he ~eadily admitted
that he had a wife living in Italy.
According to the detectives Costanci
was of the opinion that because his
wife was not with him. he had the
privilege of taking on another mate,
and the marriage at Waukegan fol-
lowed.
Meissner is continuing his investi-
cation with the district attorney. The
records in Waukegan VII be. searched
in an effort to see whether Costanci
declared he was unmarried when he
took out his license. Costanci will
not be arraigned until Thursday.

|KENOSHA HARBOR
ASKS ONLY $4,000
Racine Makes Call for
$77,13O; Milwaukee
Wants $85O,OOO.
ONLY DREDGING HERE
Outer Breakwater to Be Re-
built at Racine: This Work
Completed Here.

The annual report of the army en-
gineers, suggesting appropriations for
the harbors in the Milwaukee district,
has been presented to the new con-
gress, and in the list is the sum OF
$4,000 asked for maintenance of the
Kenosha harbor. This is based on
the estimates of the government en-
gineer at Milwaukee, and is sum suf-
ficient only for the customary yearly
maintenance, and does not contemplate
any building or major improvements.
At the same time the recommends
tions carried request for $77,1S0 for
the Racine harbor. If the amount is
allowed by congress, 800 feet of the
north Racine breskwater will be re-
built. The balance will be used in
cleaning out the channel. The north
arm of the outer breakwater at this
point was built several years ago, and
the collection of tons of ice on the
concrete crown have wrought havoc
with it, wrecking it and resulting in
portions of it being washed into the
lake. 1t is badly in need OF rebuild
ing.
In Kenosha harbor the outer break
water was rebuilt last year, and much
larger appropriation was used. This
breakwater consists of wooden crib
with concrete crown. The north har-
Dor entrance breakwater is of the same
construction and of comparatively re-
cent reconstruction, while the south har-
Dor mouth breakwater is the oldest and
:. III n~sh cfr ion
This will in a short time have to be
rebuilt, but apparently from the appro-
priation asked this work is not con-
templated this year.
The $4,000 recommended is just about
sufficient for the usual dredging
which must be carried on yearly. A
sandbar always forms at the mouth
of the river and constant dredging is
necessary to keep the entrance free.
At intervals the basin inside the river
mouth is dredged, but this is done on
" about once in three years.
Appropriation in This District.
In the Milwaukee district the appro-
priations asked for harbor work are
as follows:
Manlstlque, Mich, harbor, $500;

.BOOTLEGGER IS
GIVEN A FINE
Frank NJ. ,Tylius in Court
On City Charge In
Liquor Case.
IT COSTS HIM $500
Runner Who Was Halted by
Police Sergeant's Bullet,
Pleads Guilty.

Frank M. Tylius, the bootlegger, who
was winged in the arm by Sergeant
Meissner after a spectacular chase by
the sergeant and a police detective
Perry Tusler, came into court before
Judge Slater late Tuesday afternoon
and entered plea of guilty to the
charge of unlawful transportation OF
alcohol. The case was brought on 8
city charge, the state case being dis
missed on the motion of the district
attorney.
The advantage of having the case
brought under the city is that the fine
will go partly towards a fund for the
building of a new police station; the
advantage to the defendant is that in
case he should be arrested again on a
liquor charge, previous conviction UNI
der the state cannot be charged.
Judge Tells 'Em.
Tylius was accompanied in court by
his attorney, Edward F.. Ruetz, who
pleaded as lawyers will, for the mini
mum fine.
'fThis is the first time this man has
ever carried liquor said the attorney
.sHe has never peddled the stuff. e.
What" cried Judge Slater with
the air of one who says tell it to
the Marines "you mean that he has
never been caught before"
District Attorney Powell then came
forward and Informed the court that
Tylius had been wanted by the fed
eral prohibition men as bootlegger
and the police had been given in
formation several weeks before they
were able to catch Tylius.
well, he hasn't made any money
at it," continued the lawyer, "and
think the court should take into con.
sideration the fact that this money
for the fine will go largely towards
building new police station"
ST know that the profits in this
trade are larger than those of the
legitimate merchant" said Judge
Slater. "And / do not know why the
defendant should not be made to feel
it,
The attorney also asked Judge
Slater to consider the fact that Tylius
had been shot, by the police officer.
II shall not consider any such
thing" cried the judge. IF the Of
ficer was wrong, there are other meas
ures to be taken, but it is not for me
to consider in this case"
Tylius was given fine of $400 and
costs on the charge of unlawful pos
session of alcohol. The charge of
reckless driving was dismissed, and
the charge of possession of wine as
the result of police raid on Tylius'
home has never been brought, so that
for the defendant, the fine ''ended the
chapter"

Washington, D. c.. AN effort
by the prosecution to question the
authorship of part of Col. William
Mitchells, book Winged Defense"
failed today before the army court
martial trying the air officer.
Major Allen Gullion, the assistant
judge advocate, sought to bring the
subject before the court through the
testimony of Captain Thomas C. Hart,
navy officer and to prove that Col.
Mitchell had deliberately cribbed"
some of the passages, but the court
held that it would not be advisable
to open up such a phase of the
controversy.
The rule false in one, false in ala
was urged by Major Gulli0n, who
asserted that the testimony should
be received to "impeach the accused
as witness"
To this Representative Frank j.
Reid, defense counsel, replied.
ST say fool in one thing, fool
in everything" adding that ne could
excuse Major Gullion on account of
.fthe condition of his mind"
The prosecution insisted thst in his
statements attacking the war al navy
departments, which led to his trial,
Col. Mitchell referred to the shook
have written" and that on the wit
ness stand he named the book as
"Winged Defense"
Major Gullion said he would prove
substantial parts of the book were
"cribbed' from the lecture of another
man, and had brought Captain Hart
from the Pacific coast to testify on
this phase of the subject.
After the court had ruled against
admission of the testimony, Colonel
Herbert A. White Of the Mitchell
counsel, wanted Major Gullion cited
for contempt for his course, but the
court ruled otherwise and Major Gem
eral Mason H. Patrick, chief Of the
air service, was called. He declared
he did not consider the OH and in
types of airplanes Inherently danger
ous." Colonel Mitchell in his pub
lished statements had described these
planes as flaming collins"
General Patrick also declared that
to his knowledge no air pilots were
allowed to fly the planes that were
known to be dangerous.

E. NJ. Camp planted about 200 acres:
From one two-acre patch he threshed

eight acres of land and will yield a
third more hay than the same grade

ton that North Carolina is planning

Officials pointed to reports that the
North Carolina legislature had already
appropriated several million dollars
more than the state revenue measure
would produce, and were casting about
for some method of increasing the in
come. The income tax was hit upon as
a sort Of last resort.
The original appropriation measure
of the North Carolina legislature car
ried appropriations of $8000000, and
the revenue measure was arranged to
cover these, appropriations. However,
it was discovered that special appro-
priations of the legislature and pre-
ceeding legislature, which have been
carried through the succeeding ses-
sons, brought the total appropriations
to more than $10,000,000.
