SEARCH FOR AUTO
Stearns Car Stolen From Chicago
During Auto Show, Last Seen
in kenosha
THIEF BATTLES DETECTIVE

Kenosha is being made the central
point of Chicago detectives who are
searching for big forty horse power
Stearns automobile which was stolen
from in front of the Coliseum during
the recent automobile show and which
is being driven by driver so reckless
that it seems impossible for the prac-
ticed detectives of two states to lay
hands on him. The machine is valued
at from $4,000 to SIS, 900 and it was the
prize show car of the Stearns com
pany. The car was last seen passing
through Kenosha but the driver never
stopped even for a minute in this
city but drove on towards the north
leaving no trace by which he could be
followed.
The chase for the car has become
one of the most interesting events in
the automobile world today. Since
the day that it was stolen detectives
of the Stearns company have been
tracing it and the chase has already
led over four states and is still going.
This is a nonstop test but it is evident
that since the close of the Chicago
show the car has covered more than
five thousand miles. 1t was first
heard of in Indiana and when the next
telegram was received the car was
crossing the Mississippi river at La
Crosse. Then it was heard of in one
Of the smaller cities of Iowa and it is
now believed that the man slipped
through Chicago and came north.
One of the detectives in Kenosha to-
day stated that it had been the hard
est case he ever worked on. Some
people claim that the car was in Ke-
nosha for several hours and that
several Kenosha men were given a
ride in it. No trace of the car can be
found in this city but it is possible
that it has been concealed IN some
building about Kenosha and is being
held there until such a time as the
chase is abandoned.

ADMINISTRATOR NAMED
Public Administrator to Settle Estates
of Men Killed at the Powder Mill

Administration has been granted in
the County Court for the estates of
seven foreigners who met death in
the explosion at the Laf1in-Rand
Powder Mills last January and Public
Administrator Henry Jordan has been
selected to settle the estates. James
Cavanagh is the attorney for the
estates and he will seek to find the
relatives of the men killed. The men
had from $35 to $40 due them for labor
at the plant at the time of their death
and added to this the company is will
ing to pay the widow of each of them
the sum of $500.
These payments will not be made
through the Russian Consul IN Chi.
cago, but directly to the relatives in
terested. The Russian Consul has
been investigating the case but as
the men were residents of this country
it is thought that the matter can be
properly settled in the County Court
without any international complica-
cations.

After a further review of the evil

After a further review of the evil
dence the Court says:
Applying the definition given by
the New York court, cited by defend
ant, we are led to the irresistible con-
clusion that defendant was inexcus-
ably reckless and grossly negligent
in operating his machine at the time
the object or person was struck.
I've have assumed that the offense
must be proven beyond reasonable
doubt.
"This assumption will rot permit
us to search for possibilities to create
doubt, nor can we indulge in unreas-
enable doubt.
1T is possible that the deceased
was not the person struck by defend
ant; it is possible that other automo-
biIes struck the deceased and caused
his death; that deceased came to his
death from natural causes; but TO
conclude from the testimony that the
person struck by defendant was not
the person whose lifeless body was
found the next morning at or near the
identical spot where the person or OBJ
ject was struck, could be arrived at
only by the indulgence IN an unreason-
able doubt; to conclude that deceased
came to his death by other means
than by being struck by defendants
automobile, would require the same
indulgence in unreasonable doubt; it
would be searching for possibilities to
conclude that some other agency,
other than the striking by the de-
fendant's automobile was the approx
mate and immediate cause of death.
"We not care to discuss in detail
the testimony of all the witnesses,
but after paying strict attention TO
the testimony of each witness and to
the arguments of counsel and a care
full and full consideration of the au-
thorities cited, we are satisfied that
the proof clearly shows that the de-
PENDANT was culpably negligent in the
operation of his automobile at the
time the person or object was struck;
that the object or person struck was
the person whose dead body was dis
covered on the next morning; that the
proximate and immediate cause of his
death was the injuries sustained by
being struck with the defendants
automobile.
''The Court finds that the offense
alleged in the complaint has been
proven and that there is probable
cause to believe the defendant to be
guilty

3-5. This year the meetings will be
held at the Park avenue Congrega-

is very heartily extended.
It is very probable that the eastern
district will join the southeastern this
year, this being the first union dis

state. It will mean representation
of about fifty societies. The Chris

an active factor of the southeastern
district.
