WOULD PUNISH OFFENDERS
Bill introduced Into the State Senate
Provides Specific Punishment for
People Who Tamper With Automo-
biles and Other Motor Cars.

State Senator Isaac T. Bishop of this
county has come to the front as the
protector of the automobile and he has
proposed bill in the state senate
with r view of preventing the wilful
injury of automobiles and other motor
driven vehicles. The law has been
drawn at the request of automobile
owners in this and other counties who
have had their vehicles damaged by
people removing parts. The bill pro-
posed by the Kenosha county Senator
places heavy fine on any one who
shall willfully tamper with or remove
the parts of any of this sort of We
hiclos. 1t is not wholly in relation to
motor driven vehicles as the bill makes
the old law in regard to the tampering
with railway cars stronger. The pro-
visions of Senator Bishops bill are as
follows:
"Any person who shall, individually
or IN association with one or more 9th
ers willfully break, injure, tamper with
or remove any part or parts Of any
electric, horse or other railway car,
coach or locomotive, or any automobile
or other similar motor vehicle, or any
portable vehicle or traction engine, or
any parts of any stationary engine, ma
chine implement, or machinery for the
purpose of injuring, defacing or des
troying such locomotive, engine, car,
coach, automobile or other vehicle, i'm
plement or machinery, or of preventing
the useful operation thereof, or any
purpose or who shall in any other way
willfully interfere with the operation
Of such vehicle or the>running Of such
vehicles shall be punished as provided
by the preceding statute.''
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on corporations and it is declared
that it will have the active support of
automobile owners throughout the
state. Il is aimed especially against
enemies of the automobile who place
nails in roads aud fire into tires and
commit similar depredations on the
peace of mind of the owners of motor
cars. In the past there has been no
specific statute for the punishment of
such people but, the Bishop bill will
make strong punishment for this
class of people. 1t is expected that
the bill will meet with little opposition
in the senate and that it will be one
of the first to be passed at this session
of the legislature.

Julius Carlson to Stand Trial for
Horse Stealing in Circuit Court.
Julius Carlson the man charged with
taking the horse of DR.. G. H. Ripley
few days ago has been held for trial
in the Circuit court on charges of horse
stealing and will come up for trial at
the March term. Carlson is now in Jail
and seems to be unable to furnish
bonds in the sum of $1,000 as fixed by
the court. Carlson is proving an en-
igma to the police for although it has
been shown that the story he told the
police at the time Of his arrest could
not have been true he still sticks to it
and insists that he will go to prison
before he changes it. The police be-
lieve that it is possible that the man
had a confederate and they are hope
full that he will reveal his identity be-
fore the case is called for trial in the
Circuit court.

Hold Joint Celebration
kENosHA Wins IN SPELLING

Washington's birthday was celebrat-
ed on magnificent scale by the Col
leges of Commerce of Racine and Ken
osha, and was the most successful of
the many union gatherings, the two
schools have had. The Kenosha stu
dents arrived in Racine at 2:15 and
went Immediately to the Racine school
where a reception committee of teach
ers and pupils made them at once at
home. The large assembly room was
elegantly decorated with flags, pen
nants, and bunting, and the photo
graphs of the two great Presidents,
Washington and Lincoln were promin-
entity displayed in front.
The afternoon program consisted of
the following numbers, the meeting
being in charge OF Mr.. Harry Duggan,
of the Racine college:
Address of Welcome. Andy Oleson

A half hour of good fellowship fol-
lowed the program and then the stu
dents of the two schools lined up for
an old fashioned spelling match which
was won, after an hour s hard contest,
by the Kenosha spoilers.
The greatest event of the day was
the banquet at the Hotel Racine at 7
p. M. when upwards of $50 boys and
girls of this years class (about half
of the years enrollment) sat down to
an elaborate dinner, provided by Presi-
dent Trenary.
The after dinner program was very
pleasing. Mr.. Trenary was toastmas-
ter, and toasts were honored in the fol
lowing order:
Kenosha c. of C.....,.............E Erwin Collier
Racine c. OF Co.,. NV. ]. Clark

Our Host.......... ................. Will Harter
Aud Lang Syne
Throughout the evenings festivities
wit and humor mingled with serious
ness and patriotism, and the good feel
ing displayed between the two schools
vas very pronounced. One of the most
noticeable features of the occasion was
the profound love and esteem in which
Prof. Trenary is held by students and
teachers of both schools. Almost every
speaker on the program distressed
from his assigned topic long enough to
pay warmest tribute to the thorough
ness and sincerity of their leader in
educational affairs.
