TO TEST oADDY RULE.
Racine Country Club Members to Fight
Arrests of Caddies on Golf Links.

Racine Country Club Members 10 Fight
Arrests of Caddies on Golf Links.
just how much authority the state
industrial commission has in regard TO
children nnder fourteen years of age
working as caddies when the parents
consent is given, is the question that
the Racine Country club is resolved
to settle.
With that object in mind, the members
Of the club have decided to fight the
case of the state against Roy Ander-
son, alleged employer of caddies at the
club, to a finish. The case, which was
postponed from a few weeks ago, came
up in court this morning, but on the
motion of the defendant IS attorney,
was again postponed for two weeks,
being scheduled to come on October z.
Anderson is charged with employing
twenty-four boys, only two of whom
were over fourteen years of age, dur
ing the two days of the ladies' invita-
tion golf tournament which was held
at the links of the country club. The
charse is preferred against him by
David Evsns, factor Inspector.
According to Evans story Anderson
first approached Superintendent of
schools, B. M. Nelson and asked permits
sion to keep the boys away from school
for two days. This request, was prompt
ly denied. He then went to D. O. Hib-
bard, principal of the Lincoln school,
and told him he intended to keep some
Of the boys out of school. The youngs-
ters then brought excuses signed by
their mothers, but Mr.. Hubbard in
structed them to also get their fathers
signatures, which they did.
The contention of the Country club
members interested il the case is that
the boys are not hired, being paid no
wages by the officials of the club, but
depend on tips from the members who
play golf. The lads come to the golf
links Of their own accord, and are Sc
lected by the golfers who wish to play
to carry their golf sticks.

AT TER MANY MONTHS
John Gruss, Wanted for As
saulting Four YearOldGirl
Taken by iceSaturday
JUDGE GIVES HIM SIX MONTHS

John Gruss, paid a tsrdy penalty for
a crime committed nearly four months
ago this morning when he was sentenc-
ed by Judge Randall in the municipal
court to term of six months in the
county jail. Gruss pleaded guilty to a
charge Of taking indecent liberties with
Alice Reidel, four year old daughter
Of Edward Reidel. The offense was
alleged to have been committed on
May 9Th but Gruss slipped out of the
reach of the officers and although a
warrant was issued for him at that
time he was not located. Last Satur-
day night Gruss was picked up on a
charge of intoxication. When he was
put in the lookup the police had no
idea of his identity, but when brought
before Chief of Police O'Hare this
morning the chief decided that the
name sounded familiar and he began
to look back over the old warrants to
see what Gruss was wanted for. He
found the warrant issued on the COM
plant of the father Of the little girl
and when he charged Gruss with hav-
ing attacked the child the man adj
mitted it. He declared that he had
been attempting to keep out of the
way Of the officers and had succeeded
until he forgot himself and got drunk
Saturday night. The man made no
excuses to Judge Randall when ar
raigned and the court showed no ten
dency to be lenient with him and gave
him jail sentence without the alter
native Of fine. Gruss is said to have
resided in Kenosha for some time, but
the police failed to secure any facts
in regard TO his family.

LAKHsHoRE LEAGUE TO MEET.
President Klccksin of Milwaukee viii
Probably be Reelected.

With the close of the season for the
Lake Shore league, the managers of
the different teams are. preparing for
the meeting IN October at which officers
for the coming year viii be elected.
According TO present indications the
managers all around the circuit are to
so. 9 solid for the reelection of Presi-
aent Clarence Klocksin, Of Milwaukee,
who conducted the organization bust
ness in such an able manner this wear.
Klocksin will have one loyal support
er who came out today endorsing the
reelection of the Milwaukee man.
This is Tom Sander, manager of the
Racine team, who in an interview gave
a ringing endorsement of the admins
tration of the league IS affairs by
Klocksin.
Taking baseball organization
which had wavered badly during the
seasons of 1909 and 1910, Mr.. Klocksin
by efficient management and sterling
honesty, has placed the league on the
plane it rightfully belongs within few
months after the season had opened.
Considering tho many obstacles he had
to overcome, the results accomplished
are simply remarkable. That is the
reason why could not help but ex-
lpress my views as to why the Lake
Shore League succeeded this year.
Speaking further Mr.. Smader stated
that he would surely have a team in
the field next year, and that he was
confident that Manitowoc, sheboygan,
Port Washington, Kenosha and Mil
waukee would also be in the organiza-
ton.

STATION FOR KENOSHA
Methodists Now in Confer
ence May Order Station for
Deaconesses in this City
TO EXTEND CHARITABLE WORK

Kenosha is mentioned as one of the
possible cities at which the Methodist
church in Wisconsin win open one Of
its stations for the carrying on of the
deac0ness work. The headquarters of
the work are now open in Milwaukee
and the report made by the officers to
the conference which closes at Amigo
today, showed that great good could be
accomplished by the extension Of the
work to other cities Of the state. In
Milwaukee the work was supported al
most entirely by the Milwaukee
churches and the members Of the dea-
coness order furnished a great deal of
aid in taking care of the poor of the
various congregations in that city.
Work OF visiting nurses was especially
helpful in Milwaukee and TIE church
organization worked in harmony with
the associated charity work Of the city,
1T is now proposed to establish stations
of the work in Oshkosh, Racine and
Kenosha with members of the order
from the Milwaukee home in charge of
the various stations The work will
Of course be made one of the charitable
w ks of the churches in the various
towns. For some time the Methodists
Of Kenosha have given literally to the
support of the deaconess movement
and the interest shown in the move
ment by the Methodists Of Kenosha
has led the officials of the Milwau-
keo home to seek the installation of
branch of the work here. There is a
wide field for work in Kenosha and it
is certain that the opening of a branch
here would greatly relieve the work
of the Associated Charities. The mat
ter was left with the directors of the
Milwaukee Home for final decision and
it is expected that more detailed plans
of the opening of the station will be
announced within short time.

County Treasurers Should Not Delay
in Sending in Inheritance Tax.
The state treasurer has sent notice
to all treasurers of counties in the
state to remit the inheritance tax col
lected in counties on or before the fifth
day of each quarter and if remittance
is not made on that date interest at
the rate Of 10 per cent will be collect
led from each county violating the
order.
While there has been standing rule
that remittances of inheritance taxes
shall be made on or before the fifth
day of each quarter the rule has not
been observed by any of the county
troasurers, but all remittances are
made before the fifteenth day Of the
quarter and no protest was ever made
by state treasurer. 1t appears that
State Treasurer Dahl is now going to
enforce the order and has SO notified
ali county treasurers and it is hoped
that the county officials will see that
remittances of inheritance taxes are
made between the first and fifth days
of each quarter.
OF the total amount of inheri-
tance collected in county, the county
receives but seven and one-half per
cent and the state the balance.

The attack on the validity of The city
ordinance regulating the speed of auto
mobiles and motorcycles comes at a
good time Of the year for if the con-
tention of the attorneys attacking the
ordinance is upheld by the courts thu re
is plenty of time for the council to
pass another ordinance that will stand
all tests and in which the lawyers can
pick no flaws before there is very much
use for it, liz the validity Of the ordi-
nance had been questioned earlier in
the year when arrests under it were of
daily occurrence the police would hard
ly Lave cared to make many arrests
where there was any doubt as to their
authority to do so and Kenosha would
have been as wide open" town for
the speed maniacs as it is in some other
things. If the present ordinance is
knocked out by the higher courts and
the council is forced to tackle the prob
lem of making a new one, number
Of the people of the city who have
made study of the class of laws
would favor adding an Imprisonment
clause to the penalties, believing that
the prospect of Jail sentence for con
tinuous contemptuous violations of the
ordinance would have much more de-
terrent effect than any fine that could
be assessed. If the present ordinance
is held null and void no larger fine than
that provided for in the state law, $25,
could be provided for in the new one
for that is the point on which the at
tack on the validity of the ordnance
is being made and few people feel that
a $25 fine is severe enough for a maxi
mum penalty, The people who advo-
cate an Imprisonment clause such as
some other cities have, do not want it
made mandatory on the judge to infict
this penalty even on conviction for a
third or fourth offense for they realize
that such a clause in the ordinance
might open the way for spite work
in the execution of the law and might
work grave injustice in some cases,
but they want the Imprisonment left to
the discretion of. the court. In that
way it would be possible for the judge
to mete out adequate punishment to
the scorchers whose repeated appear
ances in court on charges of violating
the speed laws show that they care
nothing for a fine and whose reckless
disregard for the public safety entities
chem to no consideration whatever.
The percentage of drivers whose diste-
gard for the rights of others makes the
passage of these laws and ordinances
necessary is very small ana the feeling
against them among the great majority
Of drivers who never "take chances
in exceeding the speed limit is very
strong but if there are to be speed
laws they should be strong enough to
deal with all cases which may be
brought under them.
