$4,000 FILM TO BE SHOWN.

A practical demonstration of the
building of automobiles will be given
next Thursday, August 81, at the Col
onial theater by the Studebaker Cor
poration, Of which the local represent
atives are Johnson & Rohde. Ten
thousand feet of pictures, said TO be
the largest commercial film ever made,
give views of the various operations
| incidental to the manufacture of motor
cars from the raw pig iron to the fin
ished car.
The experience is exactly the same
as though you visited the factories. As
one man aptly remarked, you can al
most smell the gasoline" About one
hour and forty-fve minutes are re-
quired to exhibit these pictures. If
yon actually walked through the eight
immense plants of the Studebaker Cor
poration, stopping long enough in front
of each machine TO witness one COM
plete operation, il would take four
months to make the tour of inspection.
| Watching this wonderful set of pic
| tures-all life size-you realize for the
| first time what $1,000 900 investment
in machinery means. A large number
of automatic machines are utilized
with the result that the automobiles
/ are assembled without touch of ham,
mer, reamer or file. 1t is almost i'm
possible to give an adequate idea of
the realistic panorama that the films
present TO the eye These pictures are
of great educational value and are
also intensely interesting.
This method of demonstrating the
working and the immensely of the
Studebaker Corporation plants is the
clever and unique idea of General
Manager Walter f. Flanders. 1t is the
! first time that any manufacturer of
automobiles has taken the "show-me"
method of convincing the public that
its cars are manufactured by the most
up-to-date methods and out of the
very best obtainable materials, and
that the work is all done in its own
plants No admission is charged

Surrenders at ken0sha.
ADMITS THAT He is FORGER
Former College Athletic Star Signed
Fathers Name to Check While or
Round of Gayety at Oetroit-Ar-
rived at kenosha Penniless.

sha.-Loyal X. Walker, aged
% years, son of l.. J. Walker, q for
mer Pittsburg banker, now living at
Williamsburg, Pa, former star athlete
of Franklin and Marshall college,
gave himself q Christmas present of
clear conscience The young,
square built, athletic young man
walked into the police station here
and gave himself up and asked that
he be held on a charge of forgery.
Walker explained to the police that
he had forged the name of his father
to check for S54 at Detroit, Mich,
and had gone to Chicago with
woman. The man pawned his over
coat in order to get out of Chicago
and when he reached Kenosha he
had only a little over dollar in
money.
The father of the young man noti-
fed the police that he would come to
Kenosha for him at once and direct
ed that he be held subject to his
coming. The father declared that he
would make good all the shortage.

BOARD COMBINE PROPOSED
Agricultural Body Believes Several Of
State Commissions Overlap in
Performance of Functions.

Madison. AT a meeting of the
Wisconsin stata board of agriculture,
held here, 1t was decided to try and
have many of the present boards
and commissions having to do with
state affairs united into one commits
sion. The various bodies which would
be thus combined are the state board
of public affairs, the state board of
agriculture, the state board of immi-
grafton, the dairy and food commits
sion. the forestry department, the
farmers Institutes. Ali of these
bodies overlap one on the other more
or less and 1t is believed more effec-
tive work could be done II all were
combined. In addition to this, it is
proposed that the supervision Of
county affairs should be vested in the
same commission. A bill to this eff
feet will be drafted and introduced
in the next legislature.
The financial report presented
showed that the state fair of 1911
cost $115,01267. The state fair of
1910 cost $9e,126.49. The state fair
of 1903 cost s1O4,935.7S. The total
expenses for the fair of 1911 were
$119,279.67 and the receipts $114,-
627.70. The deficit is $4,651.97.
The outstanding bills are $5,293.-
81. with outstanding collections at
$565.69, leaving $4,72S.1S still to be
paid. There is a balance in the gen.
eral fund of the board of $1,012.15,
which leaves s3,716.03 that will have
to be taken out of the state appropri-
alton of $4,000 when that comes
due on the first of the year. This
will leave the board with balance
of 1,283.97 to begin work for the
fair of 1912.

STATE POLITICIANS
New Statute Tangles Choice Of
National Delegates.

Reapportionment Act Bscomes Law
But One. Day Previous to Primary
and Question Arises as to Proper
Procedure for Candidates.

Madison. -PoliticianB are dis
turbed just now over The interpreta-
ton of the law passed by the last
legislature providing for party cleo
tions of delegates to national conven-
tions. The law provides that the
election shall take place at the time
of the judicial elections, which is the
first Tuesday in April. 1t is further
provided that the faw shall not be-
come effective until April VI, 1919,
and as that falls ON Monday 1t is
just one day befire election day.
The perplexinS feature of the law
is that 1t is required that to be can

a party national convention one must
secure signatures to petition in or

the ballot for the election Wheth er
those signatures shall be secured in

BEATEN
IN PLEA TO QuAsH
fudge Carpenter Denies Motions
Trial Proceeds.
COUNSEL OUTLINES DEFENSE
George r. Buckingham Makes First
Argument on Behalf OF Beef
Men--Makes General De-
NAL Of Charges.

Chicago. Overruled by Judge
Carpenter on every objection
they had raised, counsel tor the pack
ers In the governments prosecution
were forced to proceed with their de-
tense without further delay. Replying
to the governments arrangement.
George T. Buckingham, in an address
to the jury, disclosed, for the first
time, the full outline OF the defense.
Specific denial of every material al
legation of the government, together
with promise that most OF the state
ments Of fact In the packers indict-
ments will be disproved, were made
by Mr.. Buckingham. He indicated
that the statute OF limitations would
be invoked to counterfeit much OF the
governments direct evidence. He ex-
pressed the belief that the govern
ment was relying to a greater degree
than was warranted In a criminal case
upon circumstantlal evidence for proof
OF violations OF the Sherman law in
the last three years.
1t was also indicated that full ad-
vantage would be taken Of the reccct
Supreme court ruling that only unrea-
sonable restraint of trade shall be
considered violation of the Sherman
law. The jurors will be asked by the
defense to find that the procedure OF
the packers has not resulted in an I'M
due injury to the public.
The main fire of the packers attor-
neys, however, according to their sy-
nopsis, is to be directed to proof that
whatever appearance OF price agree
ments or combination there may have
been, no undue amount Of profit has
accrued to them.
Mr.. Buckingham declared that evil
dence to be submitted would prove be-
You'd the shadow of a doubt that the

per annum on their actual money in

The speaker went into the history
of an attempt to bring about gigan.
tic merger of the packing industry in
the country similar In plan IL the
United States Steel corporation. The
plan failed because bankers who had
been counted upon to finance the pro-
ject did not furnish the money, and
the National Packing company was
formed to take over the properties
which had already been bought In an
ticipation of the merger.

FIND CHICAGO POLICE
ARE BADLY CORRUPTED
Civil Service Commission Says Force
Protects Criminals Instead Of
Citizens.

Chicago. = Open vice and gam
bling conditions, fostered and per-
mitted to flourish by Chicago's police
department. were laid bare In pre-
liminary report--a veritable vice rec
ord Of the city-made by the civil ser
vice commission to Mayor Harrison.
The report finds that vice exists;
that it fiourishes under the protection
of the police department; that 1t pays
huge sums for this protection; that
the only cure-so far as the commits
sion can ascertain-is to rip the de-
partment apart and rebuild 1t on q
semimilitary basis.
The commissions document finds
the policing body, primarily designed
to protect Chicago from the inroads OF
crime and criminals. has been SO dis
torted as to become an actual protec-
ton for crime and criminals against
the law.
The commission ordered John L..
Revere for many years inspector OF
the North side "levee" district. dis
charged for permitting vice and gam
bling to go unsurpassed.
Action also was taken in the cases
OF Bernard p Baer. captain. and John
Hanley, lieutenant, who were tried
with Revere.
Hanley was cleared of all blame for
open vice conditions and was ordered
reinstated.
Because Baer is not civil service
employee the commission decided to re-
fer his case to Mayor Harrison, who is
expected to announce his finding in
the case when he has read an analy.
sis OF the evidence.

CANN ERS SEEK COURTS AID
Special Permit to Exceed Legal Hours
of Labor Desired to Relieve the
Shortage of Help.

Manitowoc.-The courts may be
asked to help the pea canning indus
try of Wisconsin, which, according
to the pea packers, is threatened
with serious loss by the operation of
the new law limiting the hours of
labor for women to fifty-five hours
per week
1t is said that the canning inter-
ests will appeal to the courts on the
proposition that the courts MAJ have
the right to grant permit for can
ming companies to employ women
more than fifty-five hours a week.
In the event that the petition is
denied a number of canning concerns
throughout the state, operating more
than one plant, may close part of
their plants and employ the force in
operation of the other plants as a

The total number of persons of
school age in the state on the thir-
tieth day of June, 1911, was 1883.
The rate of apportionment for each
person of school age residing in the
state on the thirtieth day of June,
1911, outside of the cities of the first
class, was $2,6S3. The rate of ap-
portionment for each person of
school age residing in cities of the
first class was $2,783 for 1873
persons of school age.
The total number of children re-
ported is ninety-six less than the to-
tai number reported as residing in
the state on the thirtieth day of
June, 1910, owing to the fact that it
has been necessary to withhold aid
from five school districts in the state
for failure to comply with section
55S, chapter 1888, laws of 1907,
amount $256.37.
The total amount of money appor-
toned will be $706.S1, plus $256.37,
less than the amount required for
the total number of persons at the
per capitas named, for the reason
that it has been found necessary to
deprive five districts, totaling 294
persons of school age, of their right
to share in the distribution of the
seven-tenths mill tax as provided in
chapter $50, laws of 1909.

FIRST BENEFICIARY is DEAD
Compensation Provided by Law Will
Go to Mother OF Forest Ranger
Injured While on Duty.

Madison. John w. 'Dougherty of
Minocqua, whose claim for benefit,
as state employee under the opera
ton of the workmans compensation
law, was first allowed, died shortly
after the order of the industrial
commission directing that warrants
be payable to him was issued. Now
his mother, who was dependent upon
him, will be entitled to the full
compensation under the law, which
is $4,000.
Dougherty, who was 23 years of
age, was ranger in the employ of
the forest service. While telling a
tree he was struck by limb and
several ribs were broken and two
vertebrae dislocated.
