APPEAL OLD CASE
Suit o. Badger Brass VS.. John
DAILY ct al To Be Heard by
Supreme Court ofState
SEEK RULING ON INJUNCTION

The old suit of the Badger Brass
Manufacturing Company VS.. John Daily
and other members of the Polisher s
Union which was started at the time
of the recent labor troubles at the
plant, is to be heard by the Supreme
Court Of the State as this morning
Rubin and label Of Milwaukee, the
attorneys who represented the Union
men in the action, directed Clerk Of the
Circuit Court Waldo to send the papers
in the case to the Supreme Court at
once. The appeal is taken from the
decision of Judge Belden who decided
that the defendants in the action had
no right to ask certain questions Of the
plaintiffs before filing an answer to the
complaint as made. The action is
practically a dead letter as the in
junction which was granted by the
court is no longer necessary as all the
company growing out of the former
fight have been settled amicably to
both sides. 1t is thought possible that
the appeal of the suit may have some
bearing on the present conditions at
the Badger, but it will be weeks before
it is heard in the higher court of the
state 1t is said that the main reason
for the appeal is that the Union men
Of the state are anxious to- secure a
ruling from the Supreme Court of the
state in regard to the injunction power
of the courts and that an elaborate ar
gument along this line will be made
by the attorneys for the defendants
when the case reaches the higher
court. There is decidedly limited
number of decision of the Wiconsin
courts along this line and the attor-
neys are anxious to present the ques-
ton to the courts for ruling. 1t is
not thought that even with a favorable
result in the Supreme Court that the
case will ever be tried in the Circuit
Court here as many of the defendants
in the action have long since left the
city and others are not at the present
time in the employ Of the company.

MANY SEEK JOBS :
Men Who Want to Wear Special Stars
Appeal to the Police Commission

Eight men have applied to the police
and fire commission of the city for
appointment as special police officers
in the city and their applications will
be taken up at. an early meeting of the
Board. The Board has held that these
men must pass the same examination
demanded Of the regular members of
the force and they will not get the
stars until after the members Of the
commission are satisfied that they are
fit people to have them Chairman
Schend Of the commission said this
morning: eve now have a good
waiting list for places on the police
force and we will not be in any hurry
to put on special officers The men
seeking these jobs can wait until the
next regular meeting OF the Board"
1t is said that some Of the men who
have had the special police privileges
for years have given them up rather
than appear before the commission to
take the examination outlined At the
present time there is not a single special
police officer in the city and most of the
night watchmen have secured their
powers by being named as deputy
sheriffs.

CLOPE GETS FREEDOM
Man Arrested as q Counterfeiterin
Kenosha Released by Judge
0uarIes on Wednesday
is FOUND TO BE SANE
Court Doubts the Sanity Of Man and
Believes that Long Term in Jail
Was Sufficient Punishment
Under the Evidence

Irving Spencer Clope, former Racine
man arrested in Kenosha four months
ago by Police Officer Fred Bradley on
charge of counterfeiting, got his free
dom in the United States Court in Mil
waukee Wednesday afternoon when
United States Judge j. V. Quarles sus-
pended sentence on the young man and
released him. This action came after
Clope had changed his plea of "Not
Guilty" entered many weeks ago to a
plea of Guilty" Clope was indicted
by the United States Government on
charge Of making counterfeit silver
dollars. He had been in Kenosha but
a short time when he was arrested and
at the time of his arrest the officials
took from him a number Of mouIds and
partially completed lead dollar which
were the principal evidence against
him. Clope at the time declared that
he was a chemist and was experiment.
ing with the metals in purely scienti-
fc manner and that he had used the
dollar for impressions simply because it
was the only thing that he had which
would fulfill the conditions Of the test
of the metal Since his arrest he has
stuck to the story
The accused man, was member of
one Of the old families in Racine and
after his arrest his father disappeared
in a mysterious manner and no trace
of him has ever been found. The ac-
tions of the young man while in jail
led the officials to believe that he was
not sane and before he was arraigned in
the United States Court he was taken
before Judge Paul D. Carpenter in the
County Court at Milwaukee and an ex-
animation into his mental condition
made This resulted in his being found
sane and with the decision he was
taken before the United States Judge
at once. Judge Quarles took into con-
sideration the condition of the man and
the further fact that he had served
many months in Jail and suspended SEN
tence. 1t is not thought that Clope
will return to Kenosha It is stated
that the action of the court was taken
after conference with the officials
who had caused the Indictment of Clope
and that they were entirely satisfied
with the sentence of the court.

ARREST F. C. KOENIG
Agent of GAINESVILLE Beet Sugar
Co, Taken on Serious Charge
on Saturday Morning
SECURES RELEASE ON BOND

81 r. G.. Koenig 'of Janesville, well
known among the farmers of the coun-
ty as one of the agents of the GAINESVILLE
Beet Sugar Company was arrested or
Saturday morning on a charge of oh
tanning money under false pretens5s.
During the day he managed to secure
bonds in the sum Of 5000 and was re-
leased pending a hearing which is to be
held late this afternoon.
Koenig was in the town Of SdIem
when the warrant for his arrest was
issued by w. B. Cole Of the town of
Pleasant Prairie and he started at once
for Kenosha to surrender himself to the
officers. On the way he was met by
Deputy Sheriff James Pease who accom-
panied him to the county Jail. Attor-
ney George W.. Taylor at once began
the work of getting Koenig out Of the
custody Of the officers.
Koenig has been working in this sec
ton Of the state for many months and
he claims that his arrest is entirely
the result Of mistake On June 30th
according to the complaint Koenig Dor
rowed 800 Of Cole with the under
standing that he would pay it back
out of pay check which would come
from the company the first of July.
Koenig was at the Hotel Kenosha
awaiting the check, but it failed to ar
rive and Cole sought the Justice
Courts.
1t was afterward learned that the
cheek for Koenig had been helu up on a
garnishee action at GAINESVILLE and this
fact accounted for it's failure to arrive
in Kenosha.
The attorney for Koenig claims that
the charge against Koonig will not hold
in any court and that it will 81 an
easy matter for Koenlg 10 show the
court that he was not guilty Of the
crime charged. It is thought that the
matter will be settled mp without even
being brought to hearing. Koenig
is SO we'll known about the city and
county thai his arrest caused quito a
stir.

UNDERGROUND CABLE SYSTEM
New Telephone Line Between Milwau-
kee and Racine Completed

The new underground cable system
of the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company between Milwaukee and
Chicago will be in operation this fall.
The line from Milwaukee to Racine
has been completed and will be placed
in operation by July II The work of
laying these cables has been greatly
hampered by unfavorable weather. The
underground cable will greatly improve
the service, these cables having more
circuits than could be maintained by
wires strung on poles. Another ad-
vantage is that the underground wires
will not be placed out Of commission
by storms. These cables are placed
in creOsoted wooden tunnels, and at
each city or town where stations are to-
be established, the cables are "'tapped''
and the exchanges of the Wisconsin and
Illinois Telephone companies are cut in.
These stations will be placed at Racine,
South Milwaukee, Cudahy and Kenosha
Several also will be established at the
Chicago end.
The Wisconsin Telephone company
has entered new field up north be-
tween Rhinelander and Minocqua,
where it is extending Its lines.

Kenosha Auto Drivers To Seek
More Serious Penalties for
Interfering With Autos
LAW NOT STRONG ENOUGH
Five Men Charged With stoning
Parties in Pleasant Prairie Pay
twenty-five Dollars and Costs
For Few Minutes Fun

Kenosha owners of automobiles are
planning to ask the Wisconsin legisla-
ture to amend the laws SO as to give
the. automobile more protection on the
country roads and an effort will be
made to have. the movement one. Of
statewide interest. It is claimed that
the automobile drivers are being as
saulted in all parts of the state on
account Of the hatred Of the hoodlums
for the automobiles and the present law
providing a fine Of $25 and costs as. the
limit punishment for such action, the
owners claim is insufficient to force the
hoodlums to- desist This fact was
brought out in Justice Donahue' S court
this morning when five men who had
/ been arrested on a charge of placing
trees across the road to stop automo-
biles were. allowed to plead guilty to
minor charge District Attorney
Baker announced that at the next legis-
lature as a result of the action of these
and other hoodlums the legislature will
be asked to pass a law making it a
states prison .offense to place any OBJ
struction ON a road being used by au-
tomobiles.
| The five men John McKenna, Chris
Hansen, William Hansen, Eric Hansen
and August Anderson, were each fined
$25 and costs and the total amount to
| be paid to the county for the night IS
experience will be in the neighborhood
of $165. The charge of obstructing the
road was not preferred against the men
but the original charge Of assault and
| it is possible that if these. -outrages
are continued the people who were in
| the cars will demand the. arrest of the
men on second charge. McKenna
who is attending a Chicago college and
who was home for a vacation was Sc
lected as the spokesman for the party
and after all Of the men. had entered
pleas of guilty to the charges of as
sault McKenna was called to the stand
and questioned in regard to, the affair
He stated that the men had pelted the
occupants of the cars with clay "just
to have some fun , and that they had
| placed the timbers in the road in order
to force the men driving to get out and
remove the timbers. "We thought we
could have little fun by having those
! fellows get out and chase us" was the
/ way, McKenna put it.
The men had evidently expected q
small fine and after the fine was assess
ed there was not money enough in the
!, crowd to settle with the court and the
| court gave the alternative of thirty
days in Jail. The three Hansen's will
probably arrange to get money enough
to pay their fines and the relatives OF
the other men will arrange to keep them
out of jail.
In sentencing the men it was stated
by the court that these men were let
off with a light punishment on account
Of the fact that they were the first to
be arrested under such conditions, but
that future prosecutions would result in
a much more strenuous punishment.
