Anderson Wants
Bond Money Back
Henry C. Anderson Asks Council to
Return His Bond Despite
Violation of Law.

Henry G. Anderson, who formerly
operated the soft drink parlor known
as Anderson Park at 925 Lester street,
has filed with the city clerk a request
for the return of his bond of 500,
filed when he secured the Glass A
permit to operate the place. Ander-
son has entered plea of guilty to
violating the law during the term of
the permit and for that reason may
not get his bond money returned.
The permit was for the year from
July 1st, 1924, to July 1st, 1925. On
July Sth, 1924, he was arrested for
violation of the prohibition laws; the
case was postponed until the permit
expired automatically. On September
IL, 1925, after the permit had ex-
pired, he came into court and pleaded
guilty. Chief Logan has recommended
that the bond be forfeited as provided
under the law. The question of the
bond will be put to the council on
next Monday evening.
The council will also be asked to
act on revocation of three other per-
mits, each for conviction of law vio-
lation either on the part of the holder
of the permit or of the bartender.
These places are: Gust Mackstrum,
272 South West Main street., Mathilda
Schmidt, 772 Milwaukee avenue;

"Let's see what that is" said Judge
Slater, and bottle was handed him.
"H'm," said the judge, as he exam

HOLD-UP SUSPECT
HAS RECORD HERE
Richter, Held on Wauke-
gan Charge, Former
KenOshan.
AWAITS GRAND JURY

That George Richter, under arrest
on a charge of holding up the Tom
linson real estate Offices in North
sha, was learned when Detective Rock
of the Kenosha police department
informed Chief of Police Frank Tiff
fanny of North Chicago, that Richter
had been in trouble in Kenosha
several years ago.
According to the Kenosha police
Richter was charged with taking cop
per ingots from the American Brass
factory in Kenosha where he was then
employed, 1t is stated the man, then
a youth, carried few ingots out of
the plant each day and had them
hidden in his yard. He was placed
under arrest when he attempted to
sell them, the police claim.
Richter's bonds were fixed at $4,000,
but he was unable to raise so large
a sum and yesterday he was taken to
the county jail at Waukegan to await
grand jury action. His case will be
taken up by that body shortly after
the opening of it's session next
Monday. If true bills are returned
he will be tried on the charges made
by the grand jury.
Arrest of Richter was made in his
room in Waukegan after Chief of Po-
lice Tiffany of North Chicago and
Chief Ike Lyons and Captain Thomas
Kennedy of Waukegan had staged a
fast and clever piece of police work
in an effort to trap the suspect in
his room.
Richter's landlady, Mrs. Bernice
Holderman, is also held under bonds
charged with being an accessory. 1t
is claimed by the police that she at
tempted to hide Richter from them
when she reported the car he had bor-
rowed from her had been stolen.

MRS. HAMS DIES
AFTER ACCIDENT
Kenosha Woman Dies In
Mayville Following Au-
tOmObile Accident.
OTHER VICTIM WELL

Mrs. Frank Hams, 622 Milwaukee
avenue, died this morning at the hos
pital at Mayville, as the result of in
juries received in an automobile ac-
cident at the place earlier in the
week. News of the death was re-
ceived this morning by Nicholas Wade,
partner of Mr.. Hams in the Wade &
Hams agency, and the Mischler fun
eral ambulance was sent north to bring
the body here.
Mrs. Anthony Writ, who was also
injured in the accident, and who was
taken to the hospital with Mrs. Hams,
is reported to be well on the way to
recovery.
Contrary to the first report, Mr..
Hams did not collide with another
car. He was driving a car upon a
highway near Mayville, bound for
Phillips on hunting trip, accompan-
led by his wife and daughter and Mr..
and Mrs. Anthony Writ, all of Ke-
nosha.
While they were going down a hill,
Mr.. Hams lost control of the car. It
turned over several times, and finally
landed bottom-side up with some of
the occupants pinned in the car. The
two women were the only ones seri-
ously injured, resulting in Mrs. Hams
death early this morning.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be announced later.

GEM THEFTS NOW
CRIME SPECIALITY
Jewels Worth s2,15O,OOo-
Stolen i'm New York
Alone This Year.
COURTS RUSH CASES

New York City - IF = Is there a
concerted drive now on by the Grim
inal class against gems as booty?
Last winter, furs, silks and velvets
figured largely in burglaries and
street holdups, to be succeeded during
the summer by long list of depreda-
tions in which chain store tills and
payrolls were objects Of attack. Now
each day brings its series of reported
thefts of precious stones.
In New York alone, since January 1,
1925, the police have listed robberies
of jewelry valued at $2,150,000.
They agree that many cases un-
doubtedly were not reported because
of the owners distate for publicity.
More than half of the local total was
comprised in depredations occurring
in the last half week. The climax was
reached in the disappearance of al
most 100000 in one "haul' from the
exclusive Hotel Plaza.
Wave Over Country.
From out of town, also, almost daily
have come dispatches describing the
nOluup Oh uldmOuQ SdlSSuShS VI tAS
pilfering of Milady's boudoir safe,
leading some to inquire whether there
has not been more than condolences
in the similarity of criminal effort
over so wide territory.
The record here has drawn atten-
tion sharply to the fact that within a
few short blocks of downtown New
York reposes a fortune in gems be-
yond the widest dreams of Captain
Kidd or of the imaginative scope of
an Arabian story teller.
It lies in the famous Maiden Lane
section, which, in turn, is adjacent to
the great underground vaults holding
the bullion and specie reserves of the
federal reserve for this district, and
the depositaries of the gold and silver
guilds. Conservative men have placed
an off-hand valuation of two billion
dollars on each of the dozen acres
comprised in the treasure trove area.
It is guarded by every protective de-
vice known to modern science, but
is lode star to the
thoughts of every super-crook.

ASKS CITY TO
STATE ITS STAND
Committee Ready to Listen
To Tax Arguments
from Kenosha.
CITY MAY ACCEPT
Osborn Says Steps May Be
Taken to Have Representa-
tive Before Committee.

Kenosha is to have a chance to lodge
its objections against the present tax
measures before the interim legisla-
tive committee, which was created by
the last state legislature to study the
problems of state administration and
public finance and report it's recon-
mendations to the 1927 legislature.
City Manager G. M. Osborn has re-
ceived a communication from Clinton
G. Price, secretary of the committee,
asking for any constructive proposals
which city Q s ais or residents of this
city may ha o give on questions re-
lating to state administration or state
and local taxes.
Send Replies to Capitol.
Any suggestions for this committee
are to be sent to the committee at its
office in the state capitol. There is a
possibility that the committee will
hold hearing in this community as
that authority is granted the commit
tee if it so desires.
Kenosha is one of the cities which
has objected strenuously to the tax
program which has been adopted by
the present state administration. For
this reason it is thought probable that
a large number of individuals in this
community may file reports with the
committee.
City Also May Act.
City Manager Osborn stated that he
would lay the suggestion before the
city council, stating that there was a
possibility that the city of Kenosha
would take some steps officially to be
represented before the committee. Ke-
nosha has been especially interested
in the changes made in the proper
tion of the income taxes which are to
remain in the community in which
they are paid. This proportion has
been changed recently by the legisla-
ture so that Kenosha and Kenosha
county has lost heavily inasmuch as
a larger proportion of the taxes were
assigned to the state at large.
The county of Kenosha protested
against this change at the time direct
ing the county treasurer to pay the
Kenosha taxes to the state treasurer
under protest.
