. COURT HIGH HANDED
Colonel's Lawyer Asks Court Martial
to Tell Coolidge on Shenan-
doah Court.

Washington, D. &C. -)-Shadows
of the navy's Shenandoah court of
inquiry overcast the Mitchell court
martial today when Representative
Frank R. Reid, COUNSEL for Colonel
Mitchell, asked that the court martial
cali to the attention of President Cool
idge the Shenandoah courts "high
handed procedure"
The court martial was informed
that Major Frank NJ. Kennedy, or
dered to testify before it today, had
been subpoenaed also by the navy
court, and had been threatened with
contempt proceedings if he did not
respond to the navy's summons.
Major Kennedy refused to accept
the naval subpoena, and was ordered
by the army tribunal to hold himself
available for testimony before it.
Anton Heinen, the German zeppelin
expert, testified before the court mar
tial that reduction in the number of
automatic valves on the Shenandoah,
from Is to reduced the safety of the
,dirigible from 100 per cent to zero.
The witness added that when Foley
asked Mrs. Landsowne. to "rehearse"
what she would say to the court, she
replied that she preferred not to. He
got the impression from Foley's "mAn-
ner" he said, that the captain had
called for the purpose at least Of
having Mrs: Lansdowne modify her
testimony"

'tunderstood fully" that the statement
sent her by Captain Paul Foley of the
court was merely memorandum of

DEAF MUTE IS
OFF FOR CHICAGO
More Trouble Brewing for
Man Who E4ied Suicide
Here Many Times.
WANTED FOR THEFT

James Miller, the deaf mute who
unsuccessful suicide attempts, is now
off of the hands of the sheriff. sHe
was taken to Chicago on Tuesday af-
ternoon by Detective Anton Piksa of
the Chicago police department, on a
charge of taking money from widow
with whom he is said to have lived
several weeks ago.
According to the story given to the
sheriff here, Miller lived with a
widow who was supporting tn ee chill
dren by taking in washing and doing
other work. She had saved up hun
.dted dollars, Detective Piksa relates,
and told Miller that she was going to
put it in bank.
Miller offered to take it to the bank
for, her and She accepted his kind
offer. But Miller had something else
but kindness in his heart when he went
to the bank, his subsequent acts show.
He deposited $40 of this sum and after
he was out of the bank added another
zero to it to show that he had de-
posted 500. Shortly after that he
left the widows home with her 90
dollars. She never knew of her loss
until q month later when she went to
the bank to draw the money.
We're glad to get rid of him." was
Undersheriff Joseph Knipfer's remark
when. the Chicago detective came for
his man. "We've lost more sleep over
him than the poor widow in Chicago"
Miller was to have appeared before
Municipal Judge John Slater on
Thursday to answer charge of forg-
cry. While in custody here in the
last three weeks he had attempted to
commit suicide on IL different oc-
casions, each one frustrated.

.KENOSHA RENO
FIGURES IN CASE
Bootlegger, Slain in Mil
waukee, Divorced in Ke-
nOsha Recently.
LOOK, UP RECORDS

+ Kenosha's reputation as the, Reno
of the state drew to it the spotlight
today in the investigation the MUIR
der of Paul Williamson Honkavaara,
"the bootlegger de luxe" who was shot
to death by hi-jackers at the garage
of his home in Milwaukee on last Fri
day. Records of his divorce here on
August, %, 1924, from Lois Williamson
Honkavaara were looked up Tuesday
as officials looked into his past life
with view of trying to find additional
trace regarding the slayers.
: The probe, of the divorce angle OF
the case, however, did not throw any
light on the mystery surrounding the
death as the indications are that
Honkavaara was murdered as the re-
suit of a bootlegger's war and that his
divorce here had no connection what
ever with the slaying.5
Mrs. Honkavaara was granted di-
vorce in the Municipal Court here by
Judge John c.. Slater on a charge OF
cruel and inhuman7. treatment, in
which she alleged that her husband
had struck her on several occasions
In letter, which is a part of the rec
ords of the case, Honkavaara had adj
mitted the cruelty charge and had
stated that he believed it would be
better for both of them, if they we're
divorced.
The wife had been granted the d.
vorce together with $1,000 alimony and
an agreement that. Honkayaara was to
pay a note for several hundred dollars
which they owed jointly.
Honkavaara had been with his dl-
yorced wife only few minutes before
the time that he was called to has gar
age and there shot at by hiaJackers,

SALARY CHANGE
NOT RESCINDED
County Board by Vote of
IL to 6 Refuses to Re-
scind Action.
FOR LONG SERVICE
Supervisors in Discussing Mo-
tion Say Increase Is Not
a Big Jump.

By vote of IL to 6, the county
board of supervisors of Kenosha coun-
ty this morning refused to rescind the
action which it took several days ago
whereby the salary of the judge of the
circuit court of Kenosha county was
increased $1,000 a year. The motion
to, rescind the resolution had come
about as result of the fact that the
county board of Racine county has
rescinded its increase in the salary Of
the circuit judge and the allowance
here had been made with an UNDER
standing that Racine county would
vote similar amount.
The action of the board this morn
ing indicates that the Kenosha county
board does not intend to rescind its
action, no matter what may be the OUT
come of the project in Racine county.
Judge E. B. Belden, the present circuit
Judge, who has been reelected for an
other term. starting next January LIST,
appeared before the board Tuesday
afternoon, reporting what had occurred
at Racine and opening the way for
reconsideration in the event that the
board here desired to do it.
Recognition OF Service.
It was the first order of business
when the county board assembled this
morning. Supervisor Elsen introduced
the motion to rescind the former ac-
tion of the board to grant the increase
in salary.
In the discussion of the question
several supervisors pointed out that
the increase was mot a single big
jump" as it had been pictured at Ra-
cine, but was rather paying in measure
for what Judge Belden has not re-
ceived in his many years Of service on
the bench in this county. They re-
called that he had served this judicial
district for the past twenty-five years
as judge and had carried on his work
most efficiently and with despatch
despite the fact that the, work here
was the heaviest of any circuit in the
entire state.
The vote on >the motion to rescind
the increase in salary was as follows:
es-Supervisors Zerfas, Kersting,
Grosvenor, Van Bendegon, Elsen and
Berquist.
Supervisors Brook, Bacon,
Spartz, Robinson, Wicks, Rhodes, Prid-
dis. Rohr, Surerus, Filben and Roders.
Immediately after this motion was
declared lost, Supervisor Roders intro
duced a motion to reconsider it. This
was also lost, 10 to A, the votes for
reconsideration being cast by Super
visors Zerfas, Kersting, Grosvenor and
1cnntinnad on nanA 1aA
