GERMAN IS JAILED
FOR DISliOYALTY
MARINETTE, Wis., May 1.—When
Ewald .Mans, a German who has liv
ed in Marinette for many years, was
arraigned before Judge (\ <\ Daily,
on a charge of making frequent dis
loyal utterances against the United
States in championing his "vater
!and," he was held to be guilty and
sentenced to the workhouse, and also
ordered to leave the city immediately
upon the expiration of his term of
, five days.
"How long before I can come back
to Marinette?” asked Mans as he
turned away into the custody of sher
iff Michael Hallen.
•1 “Better stay away at least a year,
end possibly longer,” the court ro
: 1 plied.
v Mans is alleged to have declared
Germany is "better than the United
States,” that Germany “can lick the
United States.” and that “the United
States is afraid of Germany” with
c.ther anti-American remarks.
Several weeks ago Mans was ar
rested by Chief of Police John Cook
and charged with making seditious ut
terances. He was lodged in jail, but
was soon released and immediately he
went to the office of Clerk of the
'Court Anderson and took out first eiti
Zenship papers. But Mans could never
maintain his poise when he became in
volved in disputes over the war, and
several times he engaged his disput
ant in fistic combat.
Finally. In a fit of rage, it is alleged ]
he grabbed a big butcher knife and j
"ruthlessly" chopped to pieces a nev/j
over coat which had just been given,
him by a friend.

l\ S. SPIKES OLD GUNS
IN WASHINGTON PARK j
_- i
WASHINGTON D. C., May 1.— j
(• They’ve spiked the guns in the vicin-1
jity of the White House."
. This bit of information set Wash
; ington agog. In the first place, but
'few people could place guns in the
vicinity of the White House, and in
the second, few could figure it out
,v.hy the "guns should be spiked.”
Lafayette Square, directly across j
Pennsylvania .wenite from tne VVhi e |
House, contains an equestrian statue
of President Jackson. At the base of!
the statue are four cannon of the!
Civil War type. They have been there |
for years, having grown green front :
the weather.
The cannon are mounted on old
time two- wheel carriages and can be
easily noted. 1 his fact caused Colonel
Harts, the President’s military aide,
who is also superintendent of the
/apital’s parks, to take steps to see
that the cannon in Lafayette Park
were put out of business.
It would be an easv thing for some ,
person to load up one of these old- j
timers with black powder and a small
ball, point it toward the W’hite House
and touch it off,” declared an army
officer. "Considerable damage could
be done.”
The guns hate been spiked by load- i
ing the muzzles with wood and then i
sealing them over with lead. There;
are also numerous guns used for deco
rative purposes about the base of the
statue, war and navy buildings. Most
of these guns which were captured
from the Spanish in the war of iSiKs.i
are already spiked or will be soon.

of a mysterious package in an Olive

The youngster discovered the sma'I

he attempted to open it there was a
sudden explosion, which destroyed the
boy’s sight. The lad is utterly unable
to give any description of the pack

elsewhere.
