A term of seven months at hard La
Dor on the county farm followed with
an additional term OF five months at
hard labor on the farm makes full
year, and for the next twelve months,
therefore, Delos Pease, who, pleaded
guilty to the charge of carrying con
cea1ed weapons and also guilty to- a
second charge preferred bye the dis
trict attorney in which a woman is
implicated, will till the soil for the
county. H4 aG
,Pease was ordered into court this
morning by Municipal Judge John
Slater for sentence. He had previous
ly pleaded guilty to both charges and
sentence was deferred. The seven
months sentence came today for the
statutory Charge and thedhve months
will round out the year on the charge
4of carrying concealed weapons. /,
Wants to Marry Girl.
Pease was arrested recently when
detectives trailed him on suspicion. He
was carrying a loaded revolver, box
of cartridges, blackjack, and knife.
While he was held in custody on that
/ charge L0c SCCOnu VIC was AhGONSASo
by police when it was learned that
he had been living with Miss Pauline
Caskey at 2e0 South Sheridan road as
man and wife.
In court today Pease declared that
he desired very much to marry the
girl in order that he may be legiti-
mately recognized as the father of
the child which she is about to bear.
It is probable that the statutory
charge against the girl will be dis
missed il the two should marry.

Pease told the judge that he had
been going with the Caskey girl for a

he was arrested. Then the judge pass
ed sentence and warned Pease that if
he should attempt to escape from the
county farm he could easily be return

Four Strangers Enter the
Mapel Inn and One As
saults Proprietor.
IS ARRESTED LATER
Blood Spots On Speeder's Shirt
Causes His Arrest at
North Chicago.

A knife, of the pen or pocket
variety, played an important role in
an argument at the Maple Inn, South
Sheridan road, just after four o'clock
on Sunday morning. 7E
Clarence Land, age So, of North Chi
cago, together with three other men
drove up to the Inn and entered.
James Martin, proprietor of the es-
tablishment, was on duty at the time
and stepped forward to serve the GUS
toners. sFt5aA 8HNr \
No Motive shown. a
Exact details as to why Land and
Martin had an argument are shrouded
in mystery at. the present time. Meth
er of the men would make statement
as to the motive for the clash.
Something evidently arous sd the ire
of Land, who jerked knife out Of
his pocket and proceeded to, slash
Martin. Although the cuts were not
deep, Martin received several long
gashes about the face. .e,.sl 3s,t4
The four men, presumably realizing
the seriousness of their offense, ran
to their car, leaped in, and sped
away to the south.
TlCkeu Up LdIeAs
A short time later, speeding car,
with four men as passengers, was
picked up by the North Chicago po-
lice, and taken to the North Chicago
police station on speeding charge.
When the men were brought before
the sergeant, blood spots were noticed
on the shirt of Land This aroused
the suspicious of the police, and they
grilled the prisoners for more in
formation. l,,a ..s-r
Finally Land confessed that he had
been in a cutting scrape at Kenosha.
The North Chicago authorities i'm
mediately got in touch with the Ke-
nosha sheriff's office. Sheriff Willems
by this time had been advised Of the
argument, and was preparing to in
form nearby cities to be on the look
out for the four men. The North Chi
cago informa alton rendered this " UNI
necessary, and he Immediately dis
patched Undersheriff Joseph Knipfer
and Deputy Sheriff Tom Jester to that
city to bring back Land.
Refuses to Talk.
Knipfer and Jester arrived back in
henOSna Win IHelT PAA5OA0I Oh Ouh
day morning, and he was Immediately
placed in a cell at the county Jail.
There attempts we're made to question
him, but they were futile. Land was
tight as clam, and refused ITO di-
vulge any information which might
give the sheriff tip as to the exact
motive for the argument
Since no charges could be preferred
against the three other men in the
party, they were released and allowed
to continue on to their homes.
Up to this morning, Martin had
failed to prefer charges against Land.
Land, is merely being held on suspi-
cion, and unless Martin files a COM
plant, he cannot be charged with any
thinC more than disorderly conduct.

The Teachers Should Call McAndrew's Bluff

Beware of the Greeks who come
bearing gifts!
superintendent of Schools William
has just returned from his
vacation. The capitalist publicity
work shops are set in motion. In big
headlines and bigger stories Chicago's
kept press broadcasts his utterings.
This time he not only spills crocodile
tears for the Chicago school teachers
alone but for ALL the school teach
ers ALL over the country. He wants
all the teachers to get higher wages,
he says.
The arguments he makes are care
fully sugar-coated so as to appeal to
all the teachers. But let us diagnose
this pill.
Here is a paragraph from the latest
statement made by McAndrew:
1.-THE result is that each year it is
more difficult to induce the right kind
of young women and young men to
enter the teaching profession when
they are graduated from college"
Really Wage Cut.
This would lead us to believe that
his program calls for higher wages
for all teachers on the Chicago staff
to meet the present-day cost of liv
ing. But what are the facts? The
facts are that his budget not only
does not give an increase in wages t.
beginners on the teaching staff but il
90 10 uiieH wages. me teaCnerS IL
the first five years of their careers are
to get less wages than heretofore il
his program is accepted.
