Smiles at Tourists
FrOwns on Refugees

Paris.-The French government has
no desire to hinder or check the ar
rival of foreign tourists. Camille
Chautemps, minister of the interior,
has explained in letter to the pres
ident of the Nice Chamber of Com
merce, who had expressed fear that
certain regulations in course of prep
alton would affect the tourist trade
unfavorably, Vacations formalities for
visiting foreigners will be avoided
by temporary document, he says; OBJ
tainable from hotel keepers, which
will take the place Nof the identity
card.
Mr.. Chautemps feels, however, that
owing to the fact that the foreign
population of France has recently
composed of refugees from various
European countries, a closer check
should be kept on immigration. Some
of these refugees have willingly ac-
cepted thre burdens which accompany
residence in France in the matter of
formalities and taxations. Others, on
the contrary, have shown no desire to
comply with the regulations; they do
not register their addresses, obtain
identity cards or pay taxes.
Failure to produce receipts for in
come and other taxes will be followed
by a refusal of the authorities to is
sue or renew thes foreigners identity
card.

almost wholly made up of bad boys

the history Of criminal courts since
the dawn of all history, and will be,

criminals are the victims of their
heredity, and provides humane and

Gives History of Crime.
To present background for the in
telligent understanding of the prob
lem, DR.. Hickson gave brief history
Of crime and the methods used to cope
with it in the past. He offered many
illustrations from the work of his
laboratory in Chicago and accompan-
led his talk with many interesting
charts and diagrams to "bring home"
his point. His talk was elaborate in
it's exhaustive treatment of the sub
ject, and he showed in technical dis
cussion how Kenosha could well afford
to establish a psychopathic laboratory
for the same kind of work that is
being done in Chicago. This, he point
ed out, would go long way to help
solve Kenosha's problems of Juvenile
delinquency and the care of mental
detectives.
With the new program set before
them by DR.. Hickson, members of the
three luncheon clubs have now pledg-
ed themselves to a fulfllment of the
program as far as Kenosha is con-
cerned, and it is expected that future
meetings of the clubs will bring out
these discussions more fully and In
greater detail.

While held here as witness for
the state, Thomas is getting FESTIVE,
his friends say, and is anxious to get

SAYS HE SLEPT
| IN A HAYSTACK
William Saniuk Held in In
vestigatiOn of Murders
Tells Story.
WAS NOT IN SALOON

William Saniuk, held here by the
police in an investigation of the muir
ders on December A, 1924, Of Paul
Jurik and George Balazs, continued
today to. deny that he knew anything
of the Staying. Furthermore Saniuk
insisted that he did not know either
of the partners, and that the state
ment, purporting to issue from him to
the effect that he had been in the
saloon at 463 Pearl street on that
night, was not true.
The police are still not entirely sat
isfed, and are continuing to go over
the circumstances with Saniuk.
Take Him Over the Ties.
Saniuk admits that he was one of
three men who were in Kenosha for
a night stand" and that that night
was December A, 1924. He informed
Lieut.. Rock that he had gotten off a
train at Kenosha with the two others
after cumming his way from Chicago.
He said that he walked along the
tracks, and slept in haystack north
of the city. He said he continued on
his way north that night walking to
Milwaukee although it was rainy.
He did not explain to the satisfac-
ton of the police why he walked to
Milwaukee since that, according to
his own statement, was his destina-
ton in the first, instead of remain
ing on the train.
Today Lieut.. Rock walked with
Saniuk over the ground, directing
him to point out just where he got
off the train and what steps he took
afterwards while in Kenosha.
Others Not Arrested.
The police have not yet located the
two men who were with Saniuk. Their
information, which lead to the arrest
of Saniuk, was received from one Har-
ry Hodges, vagrant, who was picked
up in the railway yards by Police Of
ficer Ernst after the h o t g.
Hodges told of "three men" who were
on train with him from Chicago that
night cumming their way into Kenosha.
Z AS Paul Jurik had told the police
before his death that ''three men"
walked into the saloon at 463 Pearl
street end shot him and Balazs, the
police worked on Hodges clue leading
to Saniuk's arrest.
He has been definitely established,
the police say, as one of the three"
whom Hodges mentioned, although so
far he has not been connected with
the sanguinary events of that night.
Saniuk has been living at a mis-
sion in. Milwaukee.

In substantiation of indications that
point to record breaking sales in 1925,
Nash has shown a net gain of 80 per
cent in retail sales at the six big
automobile shows held since January

gains for individual shows range all
the way from 23 to 200 per cent, the

sales records showed a gain over last

"There was never a minute during
the Milwaukee show when the Nash
booth was not jammed to capacity,
for in that city as we'll as in Milwau-
kee county Nash led all individual
makes of cars except Ford, in sales
for the months of November and De-
cember. So at the Milwaukee show
net gain in sales at the show Of 1875

Philadelphia show, which Immediately
followed New York, found the Nash
line again in high favor with the pub
lie and when the week ended gain
in sales Of 108 per cent over last year
was recorded.
Preference for Nash was expressed
in no unmistakable terms by citizens
of Cleveland where the increase in
show sales was 44-per cent over last
