Armed Bandits Shoot UpMchigan
7own After Trying To Loot Bank
Witness in Liquor Case
Gets 60 Days But
Appeals

After the action taken by Judge
William c. Hungerford In police
court this morning, when he found
John Lukasiewicz of 81 Orange
street guilty of perjury and sentenc-
ed him TO 60 days in jail. the police
and prosecuting attorney believe that
they will have less trouble In the
future getting the truth from wit
nesses, especially in liquor cases.
Judge William F. Mangan, appearing
for the defendant, took an appeal
from the decision, bonds for which
were set at $1,5OO.
Lukasiewicz was arrested last
Wednesday after he had testified in
the case Of Stanley Pawalczyk of %
Clark street, from whom he had
told the police he purchased a pint
Of liquor for $1.25 on the night Of
November IA. Detective Sergeants
William P McCue and George c.
Ellinger. Sergeant Patrick ]. O'Mara
and Policeman Thomas J. Feeney
told the court of Pawalczyk's arrest
and the part Lukasiewicz played
in It.
They said that they had been in
hiding In the rear of Is Clark street
as q result of complaints they had
received there was considerable
drinking going on. They said that
they saw Lukasiewicz come from a
rear porch of the block in which
Pawalczyk lived. and go out of the
alley. AS he left the alley and
started to cross Clark street, Police
man Fecney walked up to him and
| found a pint of liquor on him. Asked
where he got the liquor, Luliasiewicz
is alleged to have said, well, you
have the goods on me, so I guess l
might as we'll tell the truth"
He is alleged to have told the po-
lice that he did not know the name
Of the man he had purchased II
from. He led the police into Paw.
alczyk's tenement and pointed him
out as the man of whom he had
purchased it. The police asked him
IL he was sure that he had pur-
chased it from PawalcZyk and he in
sisted that he was. AT police head
quarters he repeated the identitica-
ton and again in the courtroom on
Wednesday morning when Pawal-
czyk was tried.
When he took the witness stand
under oath to testify, he failed to
identify Pawalczyk, saying that he
did not know whether he had pur-
chased the liquor Of him or not. He
claimed that he bought 1t from a
man on the rear steps of the block.
Asked why he had told the police
and Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods
that he had purchased It OF Pawal-
czyk, he said that he was only kid
ding them. I am always cracking
jokes like that"
+ Judge Mangan offered no defense.
claiming a discharge because of the
failure of the state to prove that
Lukasiewicz had actually purchased
the liquor Of Pawalc2yk. which proof
. he claimed was necessary to convict
Of perjury Judge Hungerford said
/ that he felt the court was justified
In constituting the defendants actions
when apprehended by the police as
proof that he had purchased the
liquor of Pawalczyk.

NO WILSON STAMP
AS BIRTHDAY ISSUE
Another Denomination Is Not
Needed, Says New, in
Reply to Request.
By the Associated Press.

President Wilson's portrait Is not
to be placed on a special postage
stamp to commemorate the anniver.
sary of his birth next December, nor
is 1t likely to appear on a stamp In
the near future. it was learned yes
terday from postal officials. Among
the reasons given were that there
were no new denominations of stamps
in contemplation, that there already
were too many classes and that even
though such a stamp were determined
upon there was no money available
for "a special issue.
Norman H. Davis. president OF the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation, with
other friends of the late President
feels that a special postage stamp
should be issued in December when
Mr.. Wilson's birthday anniversary
will be coElmemorated. He made such
request in a letter, to which Post
master General New replied:
Il have no doubt that within a rea
sonable time the memory Of Mr.. VII
son will be duly honored, as I think
it should be-"
Harding Issue Cited.
Mr.. Davis wrote the Postmaster
General that the Wilson Foundation
had received many inquiries from all
parts Of the country with regard to
the issuance of a Woodrow Wilson
stamp before the December ceIebra.
ton.
'In pressing that request" Mr.
Davis said, I'VE feel that there Is nc
there was an issue of stamps put out
by the department in honor of oul
deceased President, Warren G. Hard
ing, and the foundation feels that ir
like manner this honor should be paid
the memory of Woodrow Wilson"
In regard to precedents, the Post
master General wrote that the issue
of the Harding memorial stamp was
obviously proper, as he died in Office
and that the plate of that issue was
used for the new l II cent stamp when
the new postage rate law created an
immediate demand. Only the numer
ais of the plate were changed and
the expense Of engraving new plate
was saved.
Hale Stamp Promised.
The Nathan Hale por.- 1T on the
1a-cent stamp had been promised two
years before and Mr.. New pointed
out that President Grover Cleveland
was not honored by stamp bearing
his likeness until Is years after his
death. The Cleveland stamp was is
| sued by the Harding administration
in 1923. President Hayes was not
| thus honored until after 20 years, but
Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt
were honored in that manner three
| years after their death.
President McKinley's portrait first
appeared in the postal service on a
1-cent postal card That portrait
was withdrawn by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, of President Wilson s
cabinet, soon after he entered Office
and the portrait of Thomas Jefferson
was substituted. McKinley's portrait
was placed on the present Scent
stamp by Postmaster General New in
1923.

WILCOX GIVES WAY
IN SENATE CONTEST
Dithmar, Coolidge Supporter,
Now to Run Against
La Toilette.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Withdrawal of Roy p. Wilcox of
Eau Claire, Wis, from the SEN
atorial race. reported from Mil
waukee yesterday, is regarded as a
final and desperate effort on the part
of the "stalwarts" to defeat Robert
NJ. La Toilette, jr., who won the Re-
publican nomination by an over
whelming vote.
Mr.. wilcox was the standard
bearer of the stalwart Republicans in
the primary, chosen by d convention
of regulars" at Oshkosh, a month or
two ago. He also filed as an "inde-
pendent" so that he might make the
race for the Senate against La Fol-
lette even though he lost In the pri-
mary race. 1t was his purpose to go
through to the end with the fight for
the Senate against the La Toilette
faction.
But he has now Withdrawn and left
in the race former Lieut.. Gov. Ed
ward F. Dithmar of Baraboo, Wis,
who filed also as an Independent,
standing for the Coolidge administra-
ton. Dithmar did not enter the Re-
publican primaries.
Strategy Due to Fail.
The effort of the anti-La Toilette
strength now on Dithmar, hoping
thus to defeat La Toilette. But the
defeat of La Toilette by Dithmar is
exceedingly unlikely. Indeed, even in
strong Republican circles here, it was
admitted yesterday that Dithmar
could not stop La Toilette now, La
Toilette who was nominated by near
ly $1,000 more votes than his nearest
competitor. Wilcox. and who had
80, 900 votes more than all of his three
opponents put together, including the
Klan candidate, Rev. Daniel Wood
ward.
Woodward has announced he would
throw his strength to Dithmar. Wood
ward received 10000 in the primaries.
On the other hand, Wilcox is a
Catholic and the Catholic vote is
strong in Wisconsin, perhaps the
largest single block of votes in the
State, If they all voted together.
Wilcox got many of these Catholic
votes. Now the question arises, VIII
these Catholics who supported Wilcox
be willing to vote for Dithmar, who
will bear the Klan label? The new
arrangement may result in the stall
| wart candidate losing as many votes
as he gains through the support of
the Klan.
Split With La Toilette.
Dithmar was formerly a La Toilette
man. He was elected lieutenant gov
ernor as a La Toilette man, at the
time that Gov. Philips. now dead, was
| put into office as stalwart. In 1920.
however, three Progressives sought
the support of Senator La Toilette for
the gubernatorial nomination. They
were John Blaine, the present gov
ernor, Representative Joseph d. Beck,
and Dithmar. Senator La Toilette de-
cided in favor Of Blaine and prevailed
upon Beck to withdraw from the race.
Dithmar, on the other hand, defied La
Toilette. denounced him as political
boss and made the race for the nomi-
nation anyway. He was badly beaten
