P. I'll. Conroe Charged With
Bold Robbery Takes Stand
in His Own Defense Today
IDENTIFICATION IS POSITIVE

A strange conflict of testimony was
presented in the municipal court this
morning at the preliminary hearing of
P. Fl. Conroe of Racine, who was ar
rested in connection with the robbery
of the Peterson shoe store on Market
Square Conroe took the stand in his
own defense and in what appeared to
be an entirely candid manner declared
that he had never been in the Peter
son store, that he had never seen Isaac
Yungquist, who was in charge of the
store at the time of the "shoe box'
robbery, and that at the time of the
robbery he was in the west par of the
city. He declared that during the en-
tire morning of the robbery he had
been with man by the name of Han
sen and that the two were soliciting
orders for nursery products. Conroe de-
clared that at the time the robbery
took place he was eating his lunch at
the Ideal restaurant on West Market
street Hansen and the proprietor Of
the restaurant were summoned as wit
nesses for the defense and it was de-
clared that they would substantiate the
testimony Of Conroe at the conclusion
of the hearing this afternoon.
Against these positive statements of
the Racine man was the testimony of
Isaac Yungquist of the Peterson store.
He testified that Conroe was the man
who came into the store and engaged
his attention by seeking to purchase
empty shoe boxes while the safe In the
store was robbed The attorneys for
the defense sought to throw a shadow
of doubt over the Identification of the
defendant by Yungquist, but his tes-
timony was most positive. He declar-
ed that he had no doubt but that Con-
roe was the man. He declared that he
had noticed closely twisted"
thumb of the defendant at the time he
was selling him the shoe boxes.
The state based its case against Con-
roe almost entirely on the testimony
of Yungquist. Charles Sehuneman Of
the Johnson-Schuneman Shoe Company
of Racine, was in the court room.
This store was the victim of a similar
robbery short time ago and the
thieves got away with 1912. The Ra-
cine man could not identify Conroe as
the man who had been in his store.
The preliminary hearing of Conroe
will be completed some time late this
afternoon. 9

NOT FORCED TO RUN.
Candidates Much Cheered by Opinion
Of the Attorney General Today.

Candidates for county offices in Ke-
nosha county have been greatly cheer
ed today by an opinion of the attorney
general sent out from Madison. Not
withstanding the fact that they are
all breaking their necks and their
pocket books to get on the ballot the
attorney general brings the assuring
fact that none of them need run af-
ter it is all over. In fact in keeping
with the provisions of the opinion
candidates may withdraw from the
primary ballot any time before the Of
fetal ballots are printed and after the
primary is all over should they be
lucky enough to get on the ballot for
the general election they can still dis
appoint their friends by pulling out of
the political contest. 1t is not prob
able that the opinion of the attorney
general will be of any great use in
this county. All of the candidates
promise to stick for the big show and
every one named at the primary will be
right on the go for the election.

ECHO OF SALEM AUTO ACCIDENT
Earl, Who Was Terribly Injured, Has
Started Suit For Damages to Amount
Of $4,000 and Gunderson Is Held in
Bonds of $1,000 to Appear in Court.

B. 0. Gunderson, well known Salem
man, was arrested on a civil warrant
late Tuesday afternoon and brought to
Kenosha to answer a suit brought
against him by William G. Earl. He
was released on bonds of thousand
dollars. The hearing of the action was
held in the Office of Court Commission
er Buckmaster, who had issued the civil
warrant for the arrest of Gunderson
earlier in the day.
The warrant is the outcome Of the
automobile accident at the Salem sta
ton of the Chicago & North Western
Ry. Co. on the evening of July 4th.
Gunderson was driving an automobile
which ran wild and which dashed
through crowd of people and ended
its mad flight by pinning Earl between
the radiator Of the automobile and a
box car. Earl has been in the hospital
ever since the accident and while he
is now able to move about little it
may be months before he is able to do
any work.
The arrest of Gunderson on a civil
warrant was made with a view of Sc
curing his presence in court when the
suit for damages is heard by jury.
The summons and complaint in the ac-
ton have not as yet been filed by Has
tings and Clarkson, the attorneys for
Earl, but it was attested by the attor-
.neys this morning that Earl would de-
.mand damages in the sum of $4,000.
The complaint insists that the injury
of Earl which may prove a permanent
injury was caused through the negli-
gence of Gunderson and that the car
was handled in a reckless manner. The
bond for Gunderson was furnished by
Walter c. Williams of Camp Lake, and
James Jepson of Salem station.
The accident was one of the most
spectacular automobile accidents ever
occurring in Kenosha county, and it
was witnessed by scores of people from
Kenosha. Earl had spent the day at
one of the lakes near Salem and was
waiting for train at the railway sta
ton when the Gunderson car with a
number of passengers in it dashed over
the station platform. All of the peo-
pie with the exception of Earl were
able to get out of the way and he
was caught between the automobile
and freight car. Gunderson has refused
to make any statement in regard to the
case Some people claimed at the time
that the automobile was defective and
others that Gunderson, who was an in
experienced driver, lost his head. The
suit for damages will come up for trial
at the October term of the circuit court
for Kenosha county.

NEVER GOING HOME.
italian Whose Friends Planned to Send
Him to Italy Died in Chicago.

Joseph Savina, aged twenty eight
years and formerly Kenosha italian
is not going back to his native land
Savina came to Kenosha some nine
months ago and few weeks later he
was found suffering from tuberculosis
in an incurable form. He wanted to
go home again and friends in Kenosha
took up the matter with the Italian
consul in Chicago and plans were made
to send the boy back to Italy His
friends raised a purse for the purpose
but when it came time for Joe to start
his condition was such that it was i'm
possible for him to make the trip.
County Agent Russell H. Jones then
took charge Of the case and Savina
was taken to the Alexian Brothers hos
pital in Chicago. He died there on
Tuesday evening. So far as can be
learned the Italian has no relatives in
this country and the county agent has
instructed the Chicago officials to have
the body buried in the potter's field
at Chicago.

Government May Not Prose
cute Cases For Use of the
''Red Cross Emblem.
MAYOR BADING TO Be GOAT

The mayor and the city clerk of Ke-
nosha will probably never appear in
court to answer the charges of misuse
of the emblems Of the American Red
Cross as the federal officials in Mil
waukee seem to be willing to make the
trial of Mayor A. G. Bading of Mil
waukee test case to establish the
right of the government to interfere
with the officials in the use of the
:" Red Cross as distinctive emblem
of health departments. Mayor Bading
acting-it is declared-under the sug-
gestion of the judge of the federal
court in Milwaukee, has directed the
officials of the Milwaukee health de-
partment not to discontinue the use of
the Red Cross on uniforms and it
is declared that the officials of the city
of Milwaukee will take upon them
selves the burden of proving in court
that this use of the Red Cross is not
violation of any federal regulation.
1t is admitted that the campaign Of
the government is not aimed so much
at the use of the Red Cross by munich
palities as at private firms who are
using it for advertising purposes and
it is found that many Of these firms
patented the Red Cross as trade
mark before it became the emblem of
the great government relief organiza-
ton. The mayor and city clerk of Ke-
nosha will be ready to appear in court
at any time their presence is demand
ed and City Attorney Slater has been
charged with the duty of defending
them when the case is called for hear
ing. With the conditions that now ex-
list it is now expected that the case of
the Kenosha officials will ever be
called for hearing.

MUSICIANS COMING HOME.
Max and Clara Bieneman Seeking to
Return by Way of Holland.

Miss Clara and Max Bieneman,
children of John Bieneman of Lake
avenue, who have been abroad for
some time studying music, have been
forced to give up their work on ac-
count of the war in Europe and they
are now seeking to make their way to
Kenosha. At the time of the breaking
out of the war the two Kenosha must
clans We're studying in Berlin and
friends and relatives in Kenosha at
once sought to get some word from
them. Congressman Cooper finally
managed to locate them just as they
were leaving Berlin to go to Holland
and they hope to be able to Gail from
that country for New York. 1T is ex-
pected that they will arrive at their
home here before the end of the com
ing month. Letters from Washington
to their relatives declare that they are
in excellent heath, but that their re-
turn trip viii probably be subject to
many delays.

from the points further north shows, a
much better test than the water taken
from the vicinity of the present mouth

Plans and specifications for the new

PASSENGERS TRANSFERRED
Christ Thomas of Harvard, Ill, Mem.
Der of the Wrecking Crew, Injured
While at Work This Morning-Prop.
erty Loss to the Company Is Large.

Traffic on the western division OF
the Chicago and North Western Rail-
way was blocked Tuesday night and
this morning on account of the wreck
of an ice train at point a mile west
of the Pleasant Prairie station. The
wreck occurred just after seven
o'clock Tuesday evening and the track
was SO blocked that it was found inn
possible to continue traffic on the line.
A wrecking crew reached Pleasant
Prairie early this morning and a big
gang is busy clearing away the wreck
age, but it will probably be some time
this afternoon before the wreck is
cleared away. In the meantime pas
sengers are being transferred at the
scene of the wreck and the trains from
the west are getting in under long
delayed schedules.
Officials of the company in Kenosha
can give no cause for the piling up
of the ice cars. The heavy ice train
had left the lake regions of the county
just after five o'clock Tuesday after
noon and the train was running at a.
good rate of speed when one of the
cars left the track and Sc en- others
followed suit. The cars were piled
high on the tracks and although wreck
ing crews were hurried to the scene
the pile of cars was SO high and the
cars so wrecked that it was impossible
to clear the tracks during the night.
Half an hour after the wreck the even.
ing passenger train came along and il
was debated for an hour and a half,
Finally a train was sent out from Ke
nosha to bring in the passengers and
they were transferred. The same plan
was adopted this morning and pas
sengers coming east and going west
were transferred at the wreck.
The wreck was fortunate one for
the company for although the property
loss will be considerable none of the
train men were on the wrecked cars at
the time they left the track and none
of them was injured.
After the arrival of the wrecker,
Christ Thomas of Hazard, one of the
members Of the wrecking crew, met
severe injuries. An effort was being
made to pull off the roof of one of the
wrecked cars and Thomas was caught
between the timbers in such manner
that he had his back badly bruised
and cut. He was brought to Kenosha
and taken to the Kenosha hospital in
an ambulance. DR.. FL. A. Robinson, the
company surgeon, attended him and
he declared chat his injuries were not
of a serious nature. The injury of
Thomas caused a report to be spread
about the city that several people had
been injured in the wreck, but this
was untrue. Thomas will be able to
leave the hospital and return to work
in couple of days.
Engineers of the company went to
Pleasant Prairie this morning to make
an effort to ascertain the cause of the
wreck and it is thought that when the
wrecked cars are removed from the
track it will be found that there was
a defective rail.

NOT TO FOLLOW STATE RULING
Kenosha People Will Not Have Chance
to Register on August 25th as in 9th
er Counties of the State But Must
Vote on Primaries to Get on Roll.

No formal announcement has been
given in Kenosha of a registration day
to be held on August 25th--one week
before the date of the September pri-
mary-as provided by the state law
and although the county clerk holds
that such registration should be held
in strict compliance with the state law
the city officials, acting under the
opinion of City Attorney John 9.
Slater, have made no provision for
registration before the date set for the
September primary. The city attorney
holds that under the new law the cities
may eliminate this first registration
day and make all registrations on pri-
mary election and the two other regis
tration days held before the general
election. Under this ruling there will
be no registration Of voters before the
primary election is held.
In other counties and cities of the
state notices have been issued for the
registration day on August 25th and
the local officials are seeking opinions
and Kenosha people may have a
chance to register for the election at
the same time.
Registration is necessary unless you
desire to vote by affidavit and notices
are being sent out by the secretary of
state demanding that the law in regard
to registration of/voters be strictly
enforced
Under the law the registration Of
fcials are barred from copying old lists
of voters, but it is not necessary for
the voter to appear in person. He may
send in his registration on post card
to the officials in charge and under the
law the officials are forced to add such
names to the poll lists. 1t is also per
mitted for voter to give his name in
formally to the officials in charge on
the registration and the officials may
add il to the hst-if he remembers it
The general election this year falls
on November End and regular regis
tration day will be held two weeks
previous in order to give belated voters
chance to get ON the poll list. Then
there will be day for the "revisior
Of the lists on the Tuesday before
election.
None but full American citizens are
entitled to 6he franchise this year, and
those who fail to register must 60 t.
the trouble on election day of making
affidavit before notary public, at
tested by two freeholders, before Their
ballots viii be accepted.
Sample ballots for the primary elec
zion have already been received il
Kenosha from the secretary of state
There is a separate ballot for eacl
Of the four parties entitled to recog
milton, and these will be distributed
by the county clerk to every voting
precinct in city and county.
The respective candidates have al
fled their expense accounts, according
TO law, without which they would b.
barred from having their names appear
on the ticket under the heading of the
party with which they are affiliated.

SEE NO CAUSE FOR THE DELAY
Tests of Water Taken From the Lake
Show That Much Better Water Can
Be Secured BY Extending the Intake
to the North of the Harbor.

No action was taken to further the
construction of the proposed new in
take at the meeting of the board OF
water commissioners held at the city
hall on Tuesday evening and some Of
the members of the commission are
considerably disappointed over the fail
ure of the common council to act on
the request of the commission leading
toward the increase Of water rates in
the city. The request reached the
council two weeks ago and it was re-
ferred to the committee on buildings
and water works and the Judiciary
committee. These committees met with
the members of the commission and APP
peared to be entirely satisfied with the
suggestion, but no report on it was
made at the meeting of the council on
Monday night, the committee asking
for further time.
IF the plan of the commissioners is
to be carried out an ordinance must
be passed at once. The work of MAX
ing out water bills for patrons buying
water on the fat rates has already
been started and it is necessary that a
new rate be made at once if it is to be
effective on the first of November next.
1T will take at least month to pass
and publish the new rate ordinance
after it is sent to the council and the
report of the committee must be brought
in before the city attorney is ordered
to draw the ordinance. An effort will
be made to have an ordinance ready for
consideration at the next meeting of
the council, provided favorable re-
port On the suggestion of the commits
sion is to be made by the committees.
Some of the members of the commits
sion declared this morning that the
council had not shown any too great
courtesy in dealing with their request
for a change in the ordinance.
We are seeking to find way to
give the city better water and are Civ
ing our time freely to reach this re
suit, said one of the commissioners
today, and I think that the council
should have taken action on the formal
request sent to it. We are ready to
proceed with the work CT installing the
new intake, but we can do nothing IN,
less we are given some power to raise
the money necessary to complete it, To
do this the change in rates must be
made. The members of the committees
of the council appeared to be entirely
satisfied with the proposition and can
not see why the matter should have
been laid over to an indefinite time .
In the meantime the city laboratory
is being ksit 9orl7g overtime max
ing analyses of samples of water taken
from the lake. Twenty samples taken
from as many different places and on
different days have been examined and
wide variation in the condition OF
the water has been shown. Much OF
the water has been reasonably pure bui
a lot of it has been found contaminat
ed with sewage. It is an unusual fact
that on some days water taken from
liar aut IN the lake showed more con
