NO new DETAILS BROUGHT OUT.
Police ohicers and Neighbors of spina
Are Called to Tell Story of Shooting
in Which Police officer John Cyzak
Came Near Losing His Life
tFrorl Wednesdays Daily

I
The trial of Frank Spina, the italian
charged with the attempted murder of
John Cyzak, member Of the Kenosha
police department, is being rushed by
the officials and it is expected that the
case may reach the jury by Thursday
afternoon at the latest. The presenta
ton of the evidence was started on
Tuesday afternoon and five witnesses
were called by the state. Chief among
these was Police Officer Cyzak, who
told the story of the shooting. He was
very clear on details and declared that
Spina began shooting just about the
time he entered the house. Harry Co
pen deputy sheriff, who was with
Cyzak at the time Of the shooting, con-
firmed his statements.
The evidence as produced by the
state brought out few new facts in re-
gard to the case. Chief 0 Hare, Police
Officer Breidt, and Albert Hansen, q
neighbor to the Spina house were also
cslled on Tuesday afternoon. Hansen
pfoved an interesting witness for the
state and he testified to the fact that
ttinssre had been shooting at the Brockett
street home of Spina before the police
officers arrived.
Former Police Officer William Maher,
now employed with the detective bu-
reau of the Chicago & North Western
railway company was an important
witness for the state this morning. He
told of being sent to the house to aid
Cyzak and of talking with members of
the Spina household Maher was in full
uniform when he went to the house
and his evidence was put in with a
view Of breaking down any story Of
Spina in which he claimed he did not
know that he was shooting at police
officers. Maher declared that the peo-
pie in the Spina house had seen him
before he entered the house. Maher was
4
under the fire of Spina and narrowly
escaped bullet from the Spina pistol,
| it passing SO near him that skin on his
neck was burned.
The hearing of the case attracted
considerable attention this morning and
the lobby of the court room was well
filed with spectators.
District Attorney Drury rested the
case for the state just before the end
fof the morning session of the court and
the first witness to be called by the de-
Tense was John B. Zievers, a member
Of the police department. Zievers was
called to bring out the facts in regard
to the original call of the officials to
the Brockett street home of Spina.
The defendant is expected to take the
stand in his own defense late this af-
ternoon and it is probable that his tes
timony will be the most important to
be presented by the defense. 1T seems
certain that the arguments in the case
will be reached early on Thursday.

LICENSES MAY Be INVALID
Court Holds That One Saloon to Every
$50 People in Cities is the Limit to
Ne Allowed in Cities May Affect lii
censes now in Force in Kenosha.

The supreme court Tuesday after
noon sustained the constitutionality OF
the Baker law which limits the number
of saloons to one to $50 inhabitants
and prohibits the transfer Of licenses
from one location to another until the
ratio IL within the limit.
The effect of this decision is to null
lily nearly 1000 licenses granted last
July in various localities of the state.
Hundreds of licenses are invalidated in
Milwaukee alone.
The state is sustained on every point.
The court holds that the limitation fixed
by the Legislature only operates to Gre
ate preference temporarily and that
provisions for one saloon to every 250
people are presumably adequate facili-
ties for quenching all lawful thirst"
The justification for the exercise of
the police power in restraining or pro-
hibiting the sale of Intoxicating liquors
has been stated and restated time and
again, says the opinion of Justice Vinje.
6 1t may be summed up as resting upon
the fundamental principle that society
has inherent right to protect itself, that
the preservation of law and order is
palaat6 IN 10 1h right c individuals
Or property in manufacturing or selling
Intoxicating liquors, that the sobriety,
health, peace, comfort and happiness of
society demand reasonable regulation if
net prohibition of the liquor traffic.
sfTested by fundamental principles
and without going into a detailed OBJ
lection raised against the constitution
atty of the law, it cannot be said that
it unreasonably affects either the
rights Of persons or property in the sale
Of Intoxicating liquors. Tt permits a
saloon for every $50 inhabitants, pre-
SUM M l6auate facilities for quench
ing all adequate thirst. It reasonably
protects all persons engaged in and
places used for the sale of intoxicating
liquors at the time it went into effect.
Ii, incidentally, to these legal regula-
tions certain places or persons are
given a preference or that rights there
to are limited or entirely destroyed,
such result does not affect the validity
Of the act AS soon as cities grow so
that they will be within the ratio limit
or as soon as they cite to remain with
in it, all preferences will disappear. Y
The decision Of the court has raised a
grave question as to the rights to Ii
cense of some places in Kenosha. The
common council of Kenosha has chang
ed locations of saloons Notwithstanding
the fact that the city had more than
one saloon for each $50 people at the
time the change in location was made
and this is held to be in defiance to the
Baker law
The right of these saloons to con-
tinue in business will probably not be
disturbed by the city of Kenosha and
it will be up to private individuals to
bring actions to force the closing Of the
places. In Milwaukee these actions
are already being started and it is de-
clared that under the decision of the
supreme court several hundred saloons
will be closed in that city.

DECISION rs REVERSED.
Supreme Court Reverses Circuit Court
in Case of Claim against G.. & NJ


The supreme court on Tuesday hand
ed down decision reversing the deci-
sion of the circuit court of Kenosha
county in the suit brought by Frank
Hams, as administrator for the estate
of Mary Yurik against the Chicago 6
Milwaukee Electric Ry. Co. Mrs.
Yurik was killed at an accident at the
Prairie avenue crossing in July of last
year. He brought an action for dam
ages and at the September term of the
circuit court last year the jury awarded
him $500. The attorneys for the
company appealed the case on the
grounds that contributory negligence
was shown. 1t IS thought that this
was the ground on which the decision
was reversed. This was the only case
from the first Wisconsin circuit revers-
ed and large number of the decisions
Of Judge Belden in other cases were
affirmed By the court.

1t will be noticed that the two big
items added to the amounts assessed
last year are for the support of the
state university and for general pur-
poses. Neither of these items appeared
in the last tax levy made by the state.
1t is also interesting to note that the
amount of the state highway tax is
several thousands of dollars in excess
Of the amount to be paid to the county
this year for state aid in the building

INTEREST AROUSED

Utah Quintette May Play

With the announcement that very like

was greatly accentuated and many OF
the men who are good players but who
were slow about getting out for practice
appeared yesterday ready to play. Word

Is very eager to develop athletic relations
with the colleges OF the northwest ana
to strengthen the already strong ties
binding Utah TO the Colorado institutions
he was very much pleased with the re-
quests.
There is one objection, however. TO both
contracts. Both teams want to come TO
Salt Lake. a feature which In itself Is
very encouraging. but both want dates
to accept. The University OF Colorado
wants 10 come here during the Christmas
holidays and the northwestern coach
wants to come here for A. series of games
beginning on February /.
The basketball material at Utah Is the
greenest In the state and with only two
OF three weeks remaining. before the
Colorado games would be played Bennion
feels that his chances OF winning would
be dangerously small. He further init
mates that even the first of February Is

R|TCH|E FAVOR|TE
FOR MURPHY BATTLE
Betting Is 2 to /, With Thou

by international News Service.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. S.-With the
great lightweight championship battle
between Willie Ritchie OF San Francisco
and Tommy Murphy OF New York only
two days away, the sporting public OF this
city has come to the conclusion that the
title holder will surrey be returned VIC
torious. The betting Is at odds OF TO l..
with thousands Of dollars worth Of
Ritchie money in sight and practically
none to be wagered on his sturdy little
opponent,
All indications point to the lengthening
OF the price before the men enter the
ring at tho Eighth street arena on
have taken the town by storm and the
Murphy boosters. who were much In eVi-
dence, apparently have all faded away or
been converted TO the Ritchie cause.
That the odds are false is the opinion
OF the old timers who have been follow
Ing the game closely for many years;
They are willing enough to admit that
Murphy should be worth 10 to on the
short end, but at the same time they are
not throwing their money In to wager
upon his chances.
The wagering is still at even money
that the champion stops the challenger.
There was plenty OF action on this lay
out, but once more the R.tchie money
came stronger than the Murphy end OF
1t, which indicates that they probably will
yet wager that Ritchie wins within If
teen rounds.
Both fighters took things easy today
after their strenuous Sunday programme.
Murphy Is said to be well under the l35-
pound mark and Ritchie has only a few
ounces Of superfuous flesh to remove.

Carpenter Of France Com
pletes Job in One Minute
and 13 Seconds.

LONDON, Dec. s.-Georges Carpenter
of France knocked out Bombardier Wells
of England In the first round OF con-
test at the National Sporting club tonight
for the heavyweight championship of Eu-
rope.
Tho actual time Of fighting was one
minute and thirteen seconds. Carpentier
made 1t hurricane affair. concentrating
his attack on Wellss weakest point, his
stomach, and soon had tho Bnglishman
g-oggy. Then. with a tremendous swing
TO the Jaw. followed by smashing LETT
and right to the ribs, Carpenter sent
Wells down for the count
Throughout the brief contest the Eng
lisbman did not strike one effective blow.
The fight was for a purse of $4,000 and
a side stake of $4,000. 1t attracted great
interest among sporting men because II
was the second meeting between the Brit
lsh heavyweight and the F>renchman with
in a few months. Their last fight took
Wells out In the fourth round after the
Englishman had had all the better of
the first two rounds.
Wells's showing was a painful shock
TO English sportsmen. who. under the I'M
preston that his Client reverse was due
TO fluke. made hun a strong favorite.
He was backed freely, the prevailing odds
being 5 to A.
The match attracted more interest than
any fight held in England since the
Slavin-Jackson contest. The National
Sporting club was packed and extraya-
CANT prices were paid even for standing
room.
Tho crowd "booed" Wells at the end
OF the fight and their fallen Idol had some
trouble In getting a hearing to explain
why he was unable to withstand Car
penter's terrific assault on his mid
section.
