Washington D. c. With all

of 5000 feet and over great glaciers.
Describing the tests, Lieutenant

WILL MAKE HIS
STATEMENT SOON
Declares Statement About
Running for Senator to
Come Later.
WON'T SAY YES OR NO
Has Not Indicated that He Will
Run and Brands Previ-
GUS Statement False.

Declaring that the statement that
went throughout the state this morn
ing indicating that Judge E. B. Belden
was planning on definitely announcing
his candidacy for the United States
senatorship to succeed the late Sena-
tor La Toilette, had no foundation OF
truth, the circuit court judge reiterat-
ed his announcement that he would
have nothing to say, at least for sew
eral days. Judge Belden declared
that he had received many kilograms
and letters from all parts of the state
asking him to enter the senate race
for the regular Republican nomina-
ton. These messages, he added, prom
ise him strong support in the event
that he would accede to the wishes Of
his many friends throughout the state.
But at this time the judge refused
to say definitely what his plans are.
He will not make statement for sew
eral days, and at that time his deci-
sion for future action in the state po-
iitical race will be given out. In the
meantime he indicated that he would
be Yioff-eommittal.l Close friends of
the Judge declared that it may be that
if the Judge were offered pledges Of
strong support that wohld make his
candidacy hopeful one, he might &C
cept the nomination.
Judge Belden was reelected to the
circuit bench at the spring elections
for a period Of six years. Nine
years ago he ran for the state SUI
preme court but was defeated by
Judge Franz C. Eschweiler, of Milwau-
kee.
The announcement that Judge Bel
den was being urged to make the race
made in Kenosha on Tuesday brought
about considerable interest in y the
campaign. With the field gradually
becoming more and more crowded, the
race for the senatorship appears to
be Tightening down to those who are
being considered as most eligible
The convention Of Republicans at Osh-
kosh, which will convene on Thurs
day, Aug. Is, will decide who the
choice of the regular Republicans will
be, and thus far most of the candi-
dates have signified their intention Of
abiding by the results of this confer
ence in which Kenosha will be repre-
scented.

JOHNSONS IN
NARROW ESCAPE
Kenosha Pastors Family
In Accident North of
Escanaba, Mich.
NO SERIOUS INJURY


An automobile accident proved to
be rude interruption of the vacation
plans of Rev. ]. H. Johnson, pastor
of the st. Paul Lutheran church, and
his family, and this morning they were
all back at the parsonage rejoicing
more over having their little group
intact than grieving over the inter
ruption TO their holiday.
Tie accident took place last Friday
morning at the village of Trenary,
Mich, tilirty-fve miles north of Esca-
naba. Mr.. Johnson was driving the
car when as they came to- sharp
curve, another driver came towards
them, suddenly from around the curve,
driving on their side of the road. Mr.,
Johnson had either to plunge into
the other car or take to the ditch
and he choose the lesser of the two
evils. There was an enbankment of
six feet at the side, and trying to
avoid this, he put on the brakes, skidd-
ed, and broke the wheels of the car.
The car was not overturned, but the
occupants were given a shock. With
Mr.. Johnson were his wife and infant
son. Mrs. Johnson sustained broken
arm, but the baby had not received
scratch. Help was received from 9
nearby garage and Mrs. Johnson was
taken tn the hospital at Escanaba.
Meanwhile the accident interrupted
plans for an interesting vacation trip
in which concert programs were to
vary with motor trips. During the
| year, the life of the johnson house
hold is subordinate to the career and
activities of the pastor. An interest.
ing plan had been made for the vaca-
ton holidays in order that Mrs. John.
son, known on the concert stage fol
years before her marriage as Esther
Pearson, might have an opportunity
to keep up with her own career. A
concert had been given at Marquette
Mich, and there were bookings fol
programs to be given at various places
in northern Wisconsin as well al
Michigan. The family were just com
ing from Marquette, when the un-
coward accident interrupted theil
plans and they were forced to return
| to Kenosha.

SAW PICTURE
IN NEWSPAPER
Joseph Hrupka Recognizes
Man Who Passed Bad
Check On Him.
IS HELD AT PORTAGE
F. HI. Fitzgerald May Be
Brought to Kenosha to
Face Charges Here.

F. H. Fitzgerald, out on bonds of
$500 on charges of issuing worthless
checks, at Portage, Wis, got himself
into more trouble when he got his
picture in the papers. Fitzgerald was
arrested following evidence received
by the police at Portage which brand
ed Fitzgerald with cashing several
worthless checks on merchants in that
city. His picture found its way into
a Milwaukee newspaper, and that
paper found it's way to Waukegan, and
as result Fitzgerald will face addi-
tional charges in Kenosha whenever
the Portage authorities are through
with him.
Joseph Hrupka, who with his brother
operates meat market at 102 Mil
waukee avenue, on June 10th waited
on a well-dressed young man who
seemed to be in a considerable hurry.
He ordered some meat worth about
$500 and rendered in payment there
of check for $1675 made out tt c..
L. Murray and signed FIJI. Fitzgerald.
and endorsed C. L. Murray. The man
said that his wife was waiting in a
truck in front Of the store and they
were in a hurry to get off. Fitzgerald
left an address, saying he lived at 500
North Sheridan road, which later in
vestigation showed was a vacant lot.
Caught at Portage.
Fitzgerald left with the meat and
the change and short time later the
check was returned to Hrupka marked
mo account" Hrupka told the police
here and he gave a fairly good, de-
scription of the man after such an
interval He was about sixty years
old, he said, and appeared to weigh
about 1876 pounds and wore cap
and brown suit.
Hrupka was about to give up the
vigil when police were unable to trace
the whereabouts of man answering
that description, when he saw a story
in Milwaukee paper under picture
of three men. The center of the three
was the man who had cashed the
check at his meat. markell With a
whoop and a jump Hrupka took his
find to the police Office and positively
identified the fellow from the picture.
The man was arrested under the
same name as had been used in sign
ing the check.
May Be Brought Back Here.
Fitzgerald, it turned out, had been
arrested for issuing worthless checks
in Portage and on his plea of not
guilty he was released on bonds of
fifteen hundred dollars.
Detective Sergeant Emil Meissner
declared today that an effort would
be made to bring Fitzgerald back to
Kenosha to answer the charges here
when the authorities at Portage are
through with him.

Atlantic City, n ]. ~ Sus-
pension of work on Sept. l by $4,000
anthracite miners in the Pennsylvania
fields appear certain unless an out
side influence, federal or state, brings
together the United Mine Workers
and anthracite coal operators.
Negotiations for a working con-
tract to replace the one expiring Au-
gust 81, were broken off here last
night. The conference of miners and
operators representatives which has
been in session since July 8, voted
unanimously to adjourn sine die, sub
ject, however, to call by either side
through the chairman.
Claim Operators Are Obstinate.
The miners found a grievance in
the announced refusal of the operat-
ors to entertain any wage demand on
the part of the men which would boost
production cost of hard coal so much
as a cent. Miners said this was the
key" to The operators position and
hat they found it automatically de-
AIRED chance of agreement.
w. w. Inglis, chairman of the OPP
committee, charged on the other hand
that John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, had come into
the conference with his mind made UP
to break negotiations.
The climax developed largely out of
Mr.. Lewis demand that the confer
ence would fail without the immedi-
ate presence of Samuel D. Warmer
chairman of the anthracite operators
conference and William J. Richards
president of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company.
Mr.. Warmer and Mr.. Richards both
remained away from Atlantic City
yesterday.
This was followed at once by Mr.
Lewis announcement:
"The mine workers representatives
are of the judgment that it is utterly
futile to continue further in these
wage scale negotiations"
This came as the final paragraph tc
the second letter Mr.. Lewis prepared
for Mr.. Warmer, in which he charg
ed that the owners wanted to cut
wages to ''increase profit margins,
and that they had opposed every "con
structive suggestion that would have
meant cheaper coal"
Mr. Inglis' rejoinder was to secure
from Mr. Lewis affirmation that hi:
letter meant the miners wishes t.
call off the parley because of the op
orators opposition to wage increas,
and that arbitration was not to b.
thought of.
