A steady stream Of gold flowed int,

A steady stream Of gold flowed into
he county treasury this morning
through the medium of the Municipal
Court when more than three hundred
dollars was removed from the pockets
Of people who insisted that the road to
the north of the city was a speedway
made for their own special use. The
fines ranged all the way from five
to twenty dollars and costs and the
collections were made from half q
dozen Illinois and WISCONSIN cities, in
GLIDING Kenosha,
To use the language Of the sheriff:
"They went crazy Saturday afternoon
and Sunday and every one seemed to be
looking for speed and more speed.'
When the two motorcycle police of
fcers, Rudy and Branko, got through
Sunday night they were completely
worn out, but they we're in court this
morning to prosecute cases against
twenty speeders. For the most part
the speed named had been in excess of
thirty miles an hour and for this rea-
SOA buI llALCC WCIG JIG uSdNlCpbf cN6I paul
in the court on a single morning.
Rudy had fourteen to his credit for
his work on Saturday and Sunday and
his assistant brought in six complaints.
Nearly all Of the men arrested left
deposits with the sheriff 50 that it was
not nesssary for them to appear in per-
son and plead to the charges.
Racine and Kenosha co-operated in
chasing the speeders on both Saturday
and Sunday and the officers divided the
spoils of the day. The most interest
ing arrest made was that of r. N.
Stackhouse, one Of the highest officials
of the police department in Chicago.
He was loafng along at mere thirty
three miles an hour when he was pick
ed up by Rudy. Stackhouse was affa-
BILE and showed his credentials. tOf
course you recognize the profession, =
was his suggestion to Rudy. "Noth-
ing DOING was the prompt response
and Stackhouse pulled out his pocket
book and transferred some twenty-five
dollars to the envelope of the office TO
make good the fine assessed this morn
ing. "When you come to Chicago YOU
walk was the parting injunction of
Stackhouse to Rudy. Rudy said he
would and got busy arresting the chauf-
feur Of General B. t. Hardin of Lake
Forest. He gave his name as w. D.
Steuber. He did not make nearly as
hard fight as the old general was
famous for making.
II. G. Bartles of Oshkosh, had lit
tie Ford which rambled right along to
the extent of more than thirty-fve
miles an hour He crowded all the
power he had and managed to escape
from the Racine county motorcycle po-
lice officer, but at Central Park Rudy
and the Racine man both took after
him and they finally managed to catch
him. 1t was some chase and Bartles
probably had his moneys worth of
excitement.
One OF the more distinguished men
arrested was G. E. Hughes. 'I' IN not
the man who is running for president, !,
he hurried to explain to the officer.
Well 1T you were and could keep up
that speed Wilson would have some
time heading you" was the response
of Rudy as he collected the customary
twenty-five dollars from Hughes and
allowed him to proceed.
