BONDS SELL AT
HIGH PREMIUM
First National Bank Buys
$150,000 School Bond
Issue of City.
PREMIUM IS s3,474
Despite a Slump in Bond Mar
ket Kenosha Bonds Com
mand a High Premium.

Indicating that bonds of the city of
Kenosha are commanding a high price
in the bond market, the $150,000 TWEEN
ty-year Az per cent high school bond
issue of the city of Kenosha was au-
thorized to be sold for premium of
$3,474 by the city council in a special
meeting held Wednesday afternoon. The
successful bidder for the issue was
the First National Bank of Kenosha,
buying them at par and accrued in
terest and the premium named above.
There were seventeen bonding firms
who filed bids for the issue. These
were from New York, Chicago, Detroit,
Milwaukee and Kenosha, representing
some of the largest bonding houses in
the entire country. The next highest
bid was from the First Trust and
Savings company of Chicago which
offered premium of $3,414.
The premium secured brings the
rate of interest on the bonds to slight
ly below 4A per cent.
Compliment to the City.
The high premium offered for the
bonds is a compliment to the city of
Kenosha. 1t is not quite as high a
premium as was offered for the $400,-
600 issue foated year ago, but when
the condition of the bond market is
considered it is more favorable bid.
Last year the municipal bond market
was at it's peak while it has slumped
considerably since that date.
The fact that so many of the lead
ing bonding houses of the middle west
filed bids for the issue is also a COM
pliment to the city of Kenosha.
Explains High Premium.
One of the representatives of the
Chicago bonding houses gave most
interesting explanation for the high
price which the Kenosha municipal
bonds are commanding. He declared
that it was due to three factors, viz:
/. The fact that the information
regarding the bonds is furnished COM
pletely and in most compact form.
2. The fact that the bonding
houses know that the bonds will be de-
livered within two days after the sale,
thereby assuring immediate turn
over.
8. The fact that the city manager
form of government is recognized in
the financial world as stabilizing in
fuence.
The bond issue will be delivered i'm
mediately to the First National Bank
of Kenosha. The money secured by it
is to be used for financing the new
high school building, as was also true
of the 100000 issue of year ago.

PICKS POCKET
OF STORE OWNER
Mayer Bryn of Furniture
Store Finds $500 Gone
Z With Customer.
ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP
Woman in Confectionery Store
Routs HOldup Man with
a Loud Scream.

When a woman who had ostensibly
come into his store to look at lamps,
had left, Mayer Bryn, the owner OF
the store found that he had not only
entertained an angel unawares, but
that he had not even warlly enter
tanned a customer, for from all APP
pearances the individual was nothing
short of an expert pickpocket.
For a roll of greenbacks amounting
to nearly $500 as well as check for
more than 500 was gone.
The pickpocket incident took uIaee
between $3.50 and 9 o'clock Saturday
night at the Bryn Furniture store at
500 Market street. A woman came IN,
pretending to be customer and asked
to look at floor lamps. MIR. Bryn
waited upon the customer himself, and
told her that he had no floor lamps;
she was then anxious to see table
lamps. They stood side by side at the
corner of the store where the lamps
were displayed, but the merchant did
not notice anything unusual about his
customer. Presently she left the store
without making purchase.
FlndS hOil or money GOhSs
About three minutes after she had
gone. Bryn CHANGED to put his hand in
his left trouser pocket where he kept
his roll of bills, and found shc roll
gone. He Immediately remeu- bere d
his "customer" and summoned the po-
lice. Of course by this time the wom-
an was nowhere within sight.
Bryn said that he carried in the
roll greenbacks totaling $500 and a
check for SIP. He gave description
of the woman who had "frisked" him
to the police, and all the passenger
stations were watched, and ali the pa
trolmen notified, but no one Of the de-
scription was found.
Mrs. Frank Regis, SAG Middle street,
Jared better with person of the Grim
inal type Saturday evening, when her
scream averted holdup.
Her husband had just left the small
confectionery store which they run
Jointly and she was in the place alone
about 1O:45 p. m. Saturday. A young
man came in and asked for package
of tobacco. Mrs. Regis went benEa the
counter and was about to obllge him,
when the customer said, threateningly.
you'd better hand over the money
that you have there"
AS he spoke he edged nearer the
counter and started to come around
the corner. Mrs. Regis loosened a
piercing scream, and several people
came hurrying into the store The
threatening young man disappeared as
rapidly as he made the door and wrapt
the night around him. Police Officer
Beam and Pecan answered police call
to the store, but the holdup man was
nowhere in the vicinity.
He was described as a man about
25 years of age, five foot seven in
height, lean-faced, with small scar
on the left cheek, and wearing grey
overcoat and cap.

BOARD ACCEPTS
SCHEDULE
County Board Sets Sal
aries of County Officers
for New Terms.
THREE INCREASED
Salaries of County Clerk, Treas
urer and Register of Deeds
Increased 500 a Year.

One thousand dollars was Topped off
the salary of the sheriff of Kenosha
county for the term starting January
LIST, 1927, when the county board of
supervisors this morning adopted the
report of the salary committee, setting
the salaries of county officials for
new terms. The present salary of the
sheriff is $4,000 syear and fees; it
was cut to $4,000 year and fees.
The cut has no effect on the salary
of the present sheriff who continues
under the old schedule until the end
of the present term,
Increases were granted in the sal
aries Of three oficials-the county
clerk, the register Of deeds and the
salary was increased 500 a year,
bringing the salary to $4,000 a year in
each of these. cases. No other changes
were made in the salary schedule for
elective officers.
The salaries of the janitors of the
courthouse and of the custodian were
set at $3.50 each while that of the
assistant engineer was placed at
$1,000.
Supervisor Surerus, chairman of the
committee to which the question of a
detention home had been reported,
brought a verbal report to the board
suggesting the possibility of building
a ten-room detention home with an
idea of increasing it's size in the fu-
ture. The city has offered site on
the city farm in the event that the
county will erect the building. Chair
man Surerus showed that investiga-
tion had proven that temporary de-
tention home could not be secured
without too large an expenditure.
The question was put as matter
of special business to be taken up this
afternoon.
All of the banks of the county were
named as county repositories. 1t was
voted to instruct the county treasurer
to place the maximum amounts in the
Silverlake and Bristol Home banks,
inasmuch as these banks were saving
the county the expense of providing
bonds for the amounts deposited.
Judge E. B. Belden appeared before
the board and explained that the in
crease allowed in his salary was en-
tirely within the regulations of the
law, suggesting that the board be not
disturbed by rumors to the contrary

paddock PAPERS
SERVED AGAIN
Error In Papers Makes
Repetition of Service
On SalOonmen.
.SCHOLER NOT OWNER

Because an error crept into the or
iginal federal paddock injunctions
drawn up by District Attorney Lewis
Powell against the. saloon of Peter and
Henry Zeihen at 156 Park street, the
papers have had to be done oyez again
and a delay of another day has been
necessary as a result. The change,
however, is not effective against the
saloon of Mike Johanawicz at "3 North
Main street and the injunction against
his place stands as served on Friday.
The papers in the Zeihen proceed
ings carried the names Of Otto Scho-
Ter, Cecilia, his wife, and c. Vein
heimer as owners of the property in
which the saloon was located at 156
Park street. Subsequent investigation
revealed the fact tat this property
was at one time part of double lot
which had long since been divided.
The half on which the saloon is located
was found to be the property of John
Steinmetz and Bertha Steinmetz, his
wife, and these have been named in
the new federal action ordering the
owners as well as the operators of the
saloon into court on Monday morning
at ten o'clock to show cause why the
temporary paddock should not be made
permanent.
The reason that the Scholers were
named as owners of the property in
the paddock papers was explained by
the district attorney today. The divi-
sion of the original double lot was
never recorded in the Office of the city
assessor evidently, since the records
of this Office show that the property
at 156 Park street still belongs to the
original owners. The address and
ownership of the premises were made
out originally on the strength of the
information furnished by the city as
SCISSOR.
In the meantime the saloonnen and
the owners of both places named in
tn injunctions are preparing for their
hearings before Circuit Judge E. B..
Belden at ten O'Clock on Monday morn
ing. At that time they must show
cause why the temporary actions
brought ''to abate a public and com
mon nuisance" for persistent and no
torious violations of the national pro
hibition act should not be enforced to
close both saloons for period of one
year. The defendants are given TWEEN
ty days within the date of the sum-
mons in the action to offer their de-
tense.

American Tip Decline
Hurts Europe Hotels
U. s. Tourists Not Nearly So Popular
Aboard Since Revenues From
Them Fall OF.

Genoa.-iA Once famous for his
tendency to give lavish, excessive
gratuities, the American tourist in Eu-
rope during the last year or two has
fallen so far from grace in the eyes
of the horde of European underlings,
who must live by tips, as to earn a
reputation for miserliness.
So confirmed is the new verdict, ac-
cording to Mario Signorinf, of Milan,
train conductor, that the conductors
nowadays convict the. American on
sight as "black valise," which is
railway vernacular for mo tip" The
tourist remains in the shadow of this
dreadful appellation until he proves
himself innocent.
But, Signor Signorini hastens to ex-
plain, the American is not really a
miser. Rather, he becomes one thru
misunderstanding and thru what
European train conductors consider
the Vaccinations and misrepresenta-
tions of tourist agencies in America
and England.
"These agencies" declares Signor-
mi, "sell tickets to tourists on the as
sumption that all expenses are in
cluded in the purchase price. While
they may not say this, they intimate
it and the tourists make up their tray
cling budgets accordingly. Many tour
lists, especially those of the middle
class who now travel in great num-
bers, work out their economic plan
on this assumption. In some cases,
they spend as much as they can afford
and are not prepared for additional
expenses.
"The fact is, of course, that service
on European express trains is not in
cluded in the price of the ticket. This
is clearly established by law and is
printed in French on the tickets.
Americans, however, can not or do not
read the announcement. In addition
our company does not permit us to
ask payment. The result is that we
get nothing from Americans while we
get the normal payments from all
other travellers"

Undaunted by the fact that FIVE
inches of snow spread over the ground
and the housetops and objects all
about them, and that the thermometer
in the live-saving station showed the
temperature was 80 degrees above
zero, just the freezing point, these
men donned bathing suits and sailed
forth for dip in the lake. They took
two dips, in fact, then shook the
frigid water from them and crawled
up on shore to play.
For fully an hour, with no change Of
clothing, they played tag, rar races
and snowballed each other, and when
it was all over they vowed they never
felt better in their lives.
Asked if this was done on wager,
or was just an experimental stunt they
said it was nothing Of the kind, and
that it was henceforth to be on their
daily program throughout the entire
winter. It's more fun than the
Charleston and more invigorating
than workout in any gymnasium
they vowed.

German Hot Dogs Go
Big in Paris Cafes

Paris - FrankfuIsers, sauer-
kraut and pilsener on the one hand
and peace conferences on the other
seemingly are unrelated, but they are
in France.
For long time Paris tried to get
along with Strasburg sausages. They
were on the menu cards as Strasburg-
ers, but the public would have none
of them. Then the real Frankfurt hot
dogs were imported under various
names to disguise their German orr
gin.
Since the Locarno conference, how
ever, the masks have been dropped
and now Paris is eating Frankfurters
and sauerkraut and washing them
down with pilsener just as it did be-
fore the war.

morning by DEPUTY Sheriff Nicholas
Otto, who made the arrest on behalf
of District Attorney Lewis Powell,

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, July A.
United States Senator Joe T. Robin
son of Arkansas, in a Defense day
address here today, sounded warn
ing that familiarity with world con-
ditions justifies the assertion that we
invite insult when we refuse to take
precautions against attack by a
foreign enemy"
Objections that Defense day OBJ
servance might stimulate militarism
and militaristic institutions. and that
preparedness measures might dis
courage wholesome measures for the
promotion of international peace,
were passed as without justification.
The lesson of today, he said, was
that while all hope for a continuance
of peace, there is no assurance
against the recurrence of war. ~
