TELLS OF BLOODY
HERRIN WARFARE
Widow of 5. Glenn Young
Tells Audience of His
Life and Work.
ON LAW ENFORCEMENT

A little woman, less than five and
half feet tall, her sightless eyes
covered with bandages and her body
SO weakened that she was forced to
deliver some of her address seated,
told a most thrilling story Monday
evening to q Kenosha audience that
packed the main auditorium of the
German-American Home on Grand
avenue.
She was Mrs. S. Glenn Young, wild
ow of the famous Herrin raider, who
died with his boots on" in a gun
d1el, as the climax of the fued which
for months had brought to that coun-
ty in Illinois the epithet of Bloody
Williamson"
She spoke under the auspices of the
Kenosha Ku Klux Khan; sthe meeting
was open to the public.
Tells of Husbands Life.
1.-THE Life and Romance of S. Glenn
Young" was the subject of her adj
dress which brought to Kenosha the
first story of the Herrin troubles
which has come from one who had
any part in them. She gave a short
sketch of her own life, telling how
she had been in law enforcement work
for the government for three years
before she became the bride of S.
Glenn Young, who later became
known as the raider of Williamson
county.
She told OF the time when she with
her husband were shot from ambush
while they were motoring from Herrin
to ST. Louis, at which time she was
blinded and he had his legs shot full
of holes. She went on to tell of the
warfare in Williamson county, which
she declared was not ga khan and
ant;-klan warfare, as it had been
misrepresented to be-" but was war
to the finish between the forces of
law enforcement and those Of lawless-
ness.
Was to Clean Up County.
every minister except one in Will
Hanson county took a stand for law
enforcement, the same stand which S.
Glenn Younk took" she declared.
"Many of those who aided him in his
work were not members of the khan;
some of them were of a different re-
ligious faith than his; the question
of religion or race did not enter into
the warfare there. Law enforcement
and respect for law was the issue"
She closed her address with an APP
peal for law enforcement stating that
if from the death of her husband
there should come continuance of
the movement for respect of law
which he had sought, she would feel
that he had not died in vain.

FIND SHIPPERS
OF "0LIVE OIL"
Chicago Company Which
Shipped Adulterated
Food Found.
SHIPMENTS ARE SEIZED

The aftermath of the prosecution
of case in Kenosha recently when
three Kenosha grocers were arrested
and fined $25 and costs on a charge
of selling mislabeled goods, is now
being heard in Chicago following ac-
ton taken by United States Attorney
Edwin A. Olson, of the department
of justice. At the time of the arrest
of the Kenoshans a state food in
spector had found them selling cotton
seed oil in cans labeled olive oil
When the trio appeared before the
court the defense pleaded that the
grocers had purchased the goods in
good faith believing that the material
was pure olive oil. The charge OF
selling adulterated goods was dis
missed and the men pleaded guilty to
the lesser charge of selling mislabel-
ed goods and were given the minimum
fine.
Since that time, however, the de-
partment of justice officials in Chi
cago have been carrying on an in
vestigation of their own. This &C.
tivity was kept secret in the de-
pdTLHSHC III OHucE 70 give OcpuCLcS
from the office of the United States
attorney in Chicago an opportunity
to find all of the facts in this particu-
lar case.
Seize Two Shipments.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of DR.. A. E. Paul, chief of the
Chicago station of the Bureau of
Chemistry, Department of Agricul-
ture His findings were turned over
to the department Of justice and u. s.
Attorney Olson makes the following
report:
son May 81, 1925, shipment of
five gallon tins and eleven half-gal-
lon tins labeled olive oil was shipped
from Kenosha by D. Tirabassi to Chi
cago consigned to Giuffre and Res
two. Labels on the cans described
the product as 'Temmini 1merese
Brand Olive Oil,' while branding on
the case described it as Pure Olive
Oil Fieramosca Imported. Examine
ton by the Bureau of Chemistry, U.
S. Department of Agriculture, shows
that a large percentage of the liquid
in these cans is cottonseed oil and
that the cans are short in weight.
The case in this Office is seizure of
the olive oiP and not a criminal
prosecution. No criminal prosecution

CITY LOSES in
TAX TEST SUIT
Judge Overrules Demurrer
to Complaint in Lance
Tax Suit.
NOT TAXABLE INCOME

Judge E. B. Belden in the circuit
court late Friday afternoon handed
down a decision overruling the demur-
rer to the complaint in the suit
brought by Lucien C. Lance for the
refund of .$2,55695 Of the income tax
which he paid in the year 1923 for in
come of the year 1922. The demurrer
was named by the city and the deci-
zion overruling the demurrer gives the
plaintiff a victory in the first round
of the legal contest which is to be
waged in the suit.
The suit is one of several claims
which have been filed by stockholders
of Simmons company asking for re-
funds of taxes in the year 1928 on
the basis that stock dividend was
improperly and illegally taxed as in
come. This suit is to be carried
through the courts, it is understood,
as the test suit of the group.
1t is not certain what the next step
in the legal procedure will be. 1t has
been understood, however, that the
case is to be taken through the courts
in order to get ruling to govern
these suits and other suits of the kind
which may arise.
In denying the demurrer, Judge
Belden ruled that the stock dividend
involved was not income but a dis
tribution of capital or property.
The court, according to the deci-
sion, adopts the views and concludes
that:
Income is the profit or gain de-
rived from capital or labor or both
combined.
2-What was done in this case was
a distribution Of property or capital
and not of income.
SIS in no sense distribution out
of Earnings or Profits"
4-Is not taxable as income.
The court cited decisions to sustain
it's stand on each conclusion and then
decided that the demurrer to the com
plant be overruled.

DEvER DEFIES ANARCHY

Mayor William II. Dever of Chicago
has repeatedly said he is not prohib-
ZIONIST, but he favors strict enforcement
OF the Eighteenth Amendment the same
as other laws. Were he TO hold contrary
views, he says, he would be traitor to
his country. Mayor Dever has been at
tending meeting of the committee of
one thousand on law enforcement in New
York. Read carefully these observations
of his in an address before that commit
tee:
at is urged with great vehemence that
the public official who tries to impartally
enforce all laws is on the way to political
oblivion. This argument lacks sound
ness; but even if it were so, the conscien-
tious public official would still insist upon
performing his duty. But law enforce
ment is not unpopular in this country.
Although it may cause much annoyance,
the great majority of the people of this
country stand solidly for vigorous en-
forcement of the laws.
Law must be enforced solely because
it is law, and the public official who vio-
1ates his duty in this respect is plainly
traitor to his country Rock Island

STANDING UP FOR
BOOTLEGGERS

The Chicago Tribune and the Post-Dis-
patch are two newspapers which are
standing up for bootleggers. They are
opposed to the measure which proposes
to give the Voltscad law further teeth,
by making punishment for bootlegging to
be both fine and Imprisonment instead of
either penalty. Prison sentences would
be mandatory when person would be
convicted under the proposed amend
ment to the Volstead law The query
naturally comes, why don't the foes of
the Volstead law give it real chance
to operate, and then if it fails to prove
that it can work, repeal it, and give us
something better? The Tribune charges
that those who would make the Volstcad
law more severe are bigots. In the same
issue the Tribune is insisting upon stricter
enforcement of the law against murder
and rape It is such institutions as the
Tribune that are contributing to lawless
conditions by refusing to respect one law
that does not meet with the approval of
the management.-Alton Telegraph.

THE FAILURE OF REGULATION

The people long tried regulation first,
and they learned that the business was so
thoroughly wrong and immoral that it
would not be regulated, though submits
sion to regulation would have prolonged
its life. 1t broke every promise, violated
every clause of regulatory ordinances, it
sold to minors, it harbored prostitutes
and made their trade part of its bust
ness, it conducted every sort of gambling,
it SO adulterated liquors that they were
as poisonous-although perhaps slower
than--present-day moonshine, men were
systematically robbed in saloons after
they had been made drunken. The sa-
loon was the perpetrator or the accom-
phce of every crime on the calendar.
Regulation was and would again be lost
effort.-Moline Dispatch.

FINES ARE FOLLY

There are places in America where the
local officials are in with the bootleggers.
They fail to enforce the laws and even
refuse to investigate. Sometimes they
have been known to go to the rescue of
the law-breal1ers and forward the boot
legger's fine to the court. Speaking OF
fines, the time has come when honorable
judges are seeing the folly of assessing a
fine of $40 and costs for bootlegging A
man who breaks the Eighteenth Amend
ment of our Constitution is traitor to
his country and while he is just now be-
ing upheld by men who supposedly have
brains, such as Clarence barrow of Loeb
Leopold fame and others, the bootlegger
as we'll as his synapathizers are sowing
seeds of anarchy and are promoting mob
violence, robbery and homicide. Even
tually they must reap a harvest.-Ply-
mouth Scribe.
