CRIPPLED LAD
WINS DAMAGES
Joseph Rizzo, Crippled in
Auto Accident, AWard-
ed $500 in Verdict.
MADE BY AGREEMENT

Joseph Rizzo, a lad whe was Grip
pied in an auto accident several
months ago when he was struck by 6
truck owned by the Frank Luxem anc
Company concern and operated by one
of its employees, was granted $4,000
damages for his injuries in an agree
ment verdict confirmed by the jury II
the circuit court this morning. The
Same verdict granted Bruno and Mary
Rizzo, parents of the child, damages
of $3.50.
The Rizzos had sued for a total Of
$40, 900. The jury had been selected
and several witnesses had been called
to the stand when overtures were
made for an agreement.
Attorneys of the litigants then ask
ed for recess and the agreement out
lined above was drawn up and accept
ed by both sides.
Jury Confirms Agreement.
Because of the fact that JOSEPH
Rizzo. one of the plaintiffs, was
minor. the agreement could not b.
binding unless ratified by the verdic'
of the jury. It was accordingly pre-
sented to the jury and was confirmed
by verdict filed half hour later.
The Rizzo lad was caught under ths
wheels of the truck in an accident
which occurred several months ago or
Grand avenue. AS a result Of his IN
iuries he is still somewhat crippled
and there is grave doubt whether ~
will ever entirely recover.
The Luxem company was insured
and the settlement was in reality made
with the insurance concern.
Attorney Roy Stephenson was coun
sci for the plaintiff in the suits ant
Attorney Mortimer Walker of Racin'
Of the law Arm of Simmons, Walkel
and Wratten represented the defend
ants.

TOP.O. PAYROLL
New Postoffice Bill Boosts
Payroll for 81 Men at
Kenosha Office.
FIRST SHARE MONDAY
Raise Is Effective for All but
Postmaster and Began
as of January /.

A twenty per cent increase IN salary
was the gift of the United States gov
eminent to each of 81 employees of
passage of the new postoffice pay in
crease and rate change bill recently.
Thirty-five carriers and I'd clerks and
two supervisory officials will share in
the increase which will total 1900
per year, according to figures com
piled by Assistant Postmaster Michael
r. Zens and Superintendent Carl Mae
gard today. The raise is retroactive
as Of January /, 1925 and the first in
stallment Of each postal employees
share will be given him on Monday,
March 16.
The total raise for each employe
amounts to $500 per year and ON Mon
day each employee will receive in adj
dition to his regular check an addi-
tional one for $625o covering the
amount due him since January l on
the raise.
Increases General Payroll.
The raise affects 81 city carriers,
rural carriers, 20 clerks and two sup
ervisors. The rural carriers will re-
ceive raise of four cents per mile
tper days travel hut this, 1T swas point
ed out, amounts to practically the
same as 5000 per year, since the rural
carrier averages $500 days per year
and will earn an average of dollar
day for the increase.
Employees at the postoffice here were
jubilant today over the prospects OF
the increase in salary declaring that
their long fight for recognition in
congress had at last ended success
fully.
That Kenosha should be among the
cities of the state to figure in the
! largest share of the national distribu'
ticn. Of some $60,000,O00 which it is
| estimated the raise will cost the fed
eral government, is only just, officials
here point out.
Biggest Paying Business.
The total annual payroll of the loca
postoffice has been approximately
| $50 900 per year and the new raise
will increase it to almost 100000 an
nually for clerks and carriers alone
The salary of the postmaster is not
considered in the new bill and thi:
will remain the same as before. Al
| idea of the amount Of business done
! in Kenosha during the past year pro.
vides an excellent basis for realiza
ton of the financial bonanza" at the
| local postoffice. The expenditure re
| ouired for the operation Of the post
! office in Kenosha for the year 1922
amounted to $s4,945.s9 with a small
additional fund for other expenditure:
not controlled by the local office. The
receipts for that year were $221,
82e.54 providing the federal govern
ment a profit of close to $4,000 fol
one year alone. The 1925 expenditure:
are estimated to be close to 100000
! including the raise just granted, ant
! it is believed that revenues will ap
proach the 100000 mark with th'
change in rates to become effective
on April 10.

Make Changes in
Diplomatic Ranks

Washington, D. C. - President Coo
lidge has accepted the resignation of
John w. Riddle as ambassador to Ar
gentina.
Ambassador Riddles resignation
was received before Secretary Hughes
retired on March 5.
President Coolidge is understood to
have brief list of names before him
from which to choose successor and
it is expected nomination will be
sent to the present special session Of
the Senate.
Mr.. Riddles home is in Pennington,
Conn.
While no announcement was made
as to the reasons for the ambassadors
desire to leave the diplomatic service,
it had become known that one of his
motives lay in the inability of Mrs.
Riddle who underwent the ordeal of
the sinking of the Lusitania to make
the long voyage to Buenos Aires. Ply
sicians are said to have advised her
against such a trip.

Record New Feat in
Air Conversation

Dayton, o. = For the first time in
history, according to army aviation
officers here, two men several thous-
end feet in the air and more than five
miles apart today held conversation.
This feat was accomplished at Will
bur Wright field by Major H. j. Knerr
and Lieutenant M. N. Stewart during
q test of new radio equipment,
A test of the new radio equipment
included the flight of two ships
equipped with broadcasting and re-
eeivinr instruments. The men con-
yersed with each other with perfect
ease, Major Knerr said, while whizzing
through the air at the rate Of 12o
miles an hour, going in different d.
rections.
BY second arrangement, their con-
versation was heard on receiving sets

JOY RIDER Is
SENT TO PRISON
Frank Koscik, Joy Rider in
Others Cars, Draws
Year and a Half.
ANOTHER TO FARM
Felix Rails, Found Guilty of
Petty Larceny, Sentenced to
Three Months on Farm.

Joy-riding in some one else's auto
mobile without the latter's consent
brought Frank Koscik, q Kenosha
young man, to prison sentence this
morning.
He entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of operating the automobile OF
C. B. Voorhis without the latter's con-
sent when arraigned in the municipal
court before Judge Slater this morn
ing and was Immediately sentenced to
term of one year and half IN the
state reformatory at Green Bay. Less
than half hour later he had started
for the reformatory.
The offense was committed several
months ago and the youth had been
out on bonds. Police pointed out that
this was only one of several such
actions which might have been brought
against him as his arrest had put an
end to a regular epidemic of "stolen
cars" which had struck Kenosha.
Did Not Steal Cars.
In each instance there seemed little
to indicate that Koscik ever meant tc
keep the cars which he appropriated
to his use but that his entire idea was
to use them for while and then
abandon them. A companion, who had
been with him in the Voorhis car, was
in court this morning as witness but
as the evidence gindicated that this
companion did not know that the cal
had been taken without the owners
consent, no charge was placed against
him.
The fact that Koscik, while out
under bonds, has deported himsel1
we'll, acted in his favor.
Felix Rails was the only other
customer" in the municipal court thi:
morning. Rails was charged will
petty larceny on a complaint made BY
Mrs. Margaret Stalkus, who ALLEGED
that while he was playing cards a
her home he had taken her pocket
book, containing sos in money. Thu
pocket-book, it was claimed, was Later
found in Rails pocket.
! Testimony at the trial indicated
that Rails was probably under thu
influence of liquor at the time and dix
not realize he was committing theft
He was found guilty of petty larcen,
and sentenced to a three months sent
ence on the county farm.

been taken on by sister ship, the
Prospero, the message said.
The Stella Maris with eight other
sealing steamers was on it's way to
the Northern Grand Banks where the
young seals are found on floating ice
floes. The message received from the
Stella Maris gave her position as 80
miles off Notre Dame Bay. which is on

See New Problems
Before League Today


Geneva An extraordinary situa-
ton has arisen over the expulsion of
the Greek patriarch Constantinos
from Constantinople through the re-
ceipt Of long letter from Turkey by
the council of the League of Nations
in which The Angora government ar
CUES that the deportation was justi-
fed.
AS Turkey previously had asked the
council not to discuss the patriarch
question because it was purely inter
nal and the council without jurisdis-
ton, the Greek delegation has seized
upon the letter as showing that Tur-
key virtually admits the competency
of the council by arguing the case in
it's ten page communication.
A Greek spokesman said today that
under the circumstances the case be-
comes a juridical question which
should be submitted to the permanent
court of international justice. The
Greeks declare they will urge such q
procedure unless the dispute is settled
outside the council They deny the
Turkish report that the holy synod of
the orthodox church has agreed to
elect new patriarch.
Meantime today's public meeting of
the council was sort Of field day for
the world court. Both Greece and Tur-
key accepted the courts recent deci-
sion interpreting the convention for
the compulsory exchange of popula-
tons.
The council adopted resolution
offered by viscount Ishii, expressing
the hope that the mixed commission
supervising the exchange Of popula-
tions would share the councils high
opinion Of the world courts authority

Search for Couple
Lost in SnoWstorm

Winnipeg, Man. - Searching par
ties on snow shoes were continuing a
hunt today for Raymond Primeau and
Marcel LIE Golf, both 16 years of age,
who have been missing from their
homes since Sunday. Friends say the
youths probably lost their way in a
snow storm, one of the heaviest in
many years, while attempting to run
away from their homes to the United
States. Winnipeg and other cities in
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
were struggling to throw off heavy
white mantle that enveloped the

BURKE ALMOST
GIVEN PAROLE
Walter M. Burke Almost
Given a Short Parole
from Prison.



Walter NJ Burke. former Kenosha
attorney, who is now serving five
wear sentence in the federal peniten-
tiary at TT. Leavenworth, Kansas, as
a result of his conviction on a charge
of conspiracy to violate the Volstead
law, was almost granted weeks
parole from prison according to word
reaching Kenosha today from Milwau-
kee. These reports declared that ar
rangements had been made whereby
the former Kenoshan was to be
brought to Milwaukee under custody
of prison warden in order that he
might be placed on the witness stand
in the cases against Edwin w. Berry
and E. Leslie Osborne, indicted for
violation of the national banking act
in connection with the Union Food
Stores fasco probe.
Federal officials had made arrange
ments whereby Burke would have been
in Milwaukee during the period of the
trial, but these were upset at the last
moment when Osborne and Berry
changed their pleas of not guilty
to guilty and thereby ended the neces-
sity for a trial.
May be Brought Later.
There apears to be a possibility
however, that Burke may be brought
to Milwaukee under guard whenever
the trials of w. c. Hood and Edwin
F. Freeman, two others indicted in the
Union Food Stores probe, are held
These trials were postponed because OF
the serious illness of Hood and the
date for them has not vet been set.
Several friends Of Mr.. Burke had
learned of the possibility that he
might be brought to Milwaukee during
the present week and had expected to
take this opportunity of visiting him
