HIGHER COURTS TO DECIDE
Case of Ferd Dunnebacke Will be Ap-
pealed on Claim that the City Ordi-
nance is Not in Keeping With the
State Law at Time Passed

The validity of the ordinance pro-
viding against the speeding of auto
mobiles in Kenosha was called into
question by Attorney John G. Slater
in the municipal court on Friday after
noon when he demanded the release of
Ferd Dunnebaeke, who had been ar
rested on charge of exceeding the
speed limit. Mr. Slater did not argue
his motion insisting that he simply
asked to have it made matter of
record for the purposes OF an appeal
to the higher courts. Judge Taylor sit
ting in the court refused to grant the
motion in absence Of argument on it
and later Dunnebacke was convicted
and sentenced to pay the usual fine of
S. and the costs Of the action. Judge
Slater announced that an appeal would
be taken in the case.
He declares that the Kenosha ordi-
nance against speeding is unconstitu-
tional on account of the fact that the
penalty named in it is greater penalty
than was provided by the state law
at the time the ordinance was passed.
According to the statement Of the
attorney the ordinance at that time
provided that any one driving an au-
tomobile at a speed to exceed fifteen
miles an hour might be assessed fine
of from five to twenty-five dollars.
The city ordinance provides that the
fine shall not exceed fifty dollars. At
torney Slater holds that the fact that
a higher fine than could be assessed
under the state law is provided in the
ordinance makes it void.
He went further and stated that in
the drawing Of the ordinance the at
tornies had been misled on account of
the fact that there was a clause in
the state law which provided that a
man driving an automobile should sig
nal to the drivers of passing vehicles
ard provided fine of fifty dollars for
failure to take this precaution.
AS something like two hundred con-
victions have been made under the Ke-
nosha ordinance and fines aggregating
nearly a thousond dollars have been
collected the local officials are anxious
to have q test made. If the ordinance
is invalid the officials desire to know
| it at once so that new ordinance can
be passed and this large revenue for
the city be insured in the future.
City Attorney Stewart who drew the
ordinance declared that he is certain
that it will stand the test of either
the circuit or the supreme courts of
| the state.

FORFEITED BAIL IN KENOsHA
Man Who Cut Wide splurge Here Be
fore Beins Arrested for Jumping a
Board Bill to be Brought Back
for Trial.

Walter A. Alexander, former Kenosha
real estate man and wanted in this city
on charges brought by the Hotel Borup,
in which it was alleged that Alexander
had violated the innkeeper 8 act, was
arrested at Joliet, Ill, late Friday
night under the name of N. A. Weber
and he is being held there pending the
arrival Of Kenosha officials. Alex
ander has not be9n formally charged
at Joliet, but it is said that he was
taken into custody in connection with
The uttering of a check. Alexander has
been a fugitive from Kenosha county
for more than month and the police
of the city have been making strenuous
efforts. to get some trace of him. 1t is
alleged that he is also wanted in Mil
waukec and possibly in Racine on
charges similar to those brought
against him in Kenosha.
Alexander came to Kenosha many
weeks ago and was said to be in the
real estate business. He had rooms
at the Hotel Borup and had dealings
with many people in Kenosha. He was
said to be promoting the sale of lands
in one of the southern states and it is
said that his business was successful
in Kenosha.
When arrested for failure to pay his
bill at the hotel Alexander declared
that he had expected large remittance
from his employers and ON the showing
he was released on a bond of 800 pend
ing an adjourned hearing of the case.
He was in court at the date, but asked
for a second adjournment and then
failed to appear. His bond was declar
cd forfeited some time ago, but as it
was recognizance bond nothing could
he collected on it, Just after the re-
lease of Alexander the second time the
local police received letter from Mil
waukeo in which it was stated that
Alexander was wanted in that city on
charges similar to those brought against
him in Kenosha.
Alexander had dealings with scores
of people in Kenosha and the police
are now looking up these people to dis
cover if possible the exact condition
of his business relations with them.
He is a man of good appearance and of
education and these facts made it easy
for him to secure accommodations at
the hotels which are now seeking to
prosecute him. During his stay in Ko-
nosha Alexander formed friendships
with some of the best known men of
the city and these people were greatly
surprised at the time of his arrest.

P.O.Olficials Order All Boxes
in County Repainted at
Once and REMEMBERED
MUST SAVE CARRIERS TINE

Postmaster r. Y. Baker will in a
few days issue an order to every pat
ron connected with the rural carrier
routes out of Kenosha demanding the
repainting of every box on these routes.
This is in keeping with an order from
the postoffice department which pro-
vides that all boxes must be painted
white and that they must be lettered
to show the name of the patron The
Isystem OF numbering now in, vogue is
to be abandoned and an entirely new
system will be given out. This has
been made necessary by the fact that at
the time of the putting in of the boxes
some time ago the patrons took the
first number they thought Of without
any idea of the convenience of the car
riers. The postmaster and the carriers
have been over the routes and have Sc
lected a number for every box and the
patron will be compelled to take this
number and have it painted on the box.
The order also provides that the boxes
must be placed at point where they
will be easily accessible to the carriers.
No longer will the people of the farm
ing districts be permitted to drop coins
Into the mail box with the understand
ing that the carrier will fish them out
and buy stamps for their letters. IF
the coins are to be left for the carriers
they must be placed in a separate re-
coptacle and one that is arranged so
that it will be an easy matter for the
carrier to remove them.
The order is to go into effect at once
and every patron of the various routes
will receive personal letter explain
ing the new system and giving the num-
Der that has been assigned to his or
her box.
