pROTECTLOCAL JUNK DEALERS
Racine Men Are First to Be Fined Under
Provisions of New License Ordinance
Two Defendants Charged With OBJ
tanning Money by False Pretenses.


The first arrests under the new city
ordinance relating to the license of all
sorts of peddlers was made on Tuesday
afternoon when four Racine men who
gave Their names as Louis Kraft, Nor
ris Kraft, Herman Friedman and Isaac
Pesselas were brought before Judge
Randall in the Municipal Court charged
with buying junk in the city without a
license. The men all pleaded guilty and
in each case a fine of two dollars and
the costs of the action were paid. The
invasion of the city by the Racine junk
men brought prompt protest from local
junk dealers and the Racine buyers of
junk were decidedly busy when they
were located by the police officers.
They protested that they knew nothing
Of the new Kenosha ordinance and that
they had been making trips to the city
for years without being forced to have
other than state license. They were
advised that the new Kenosha license
was to be enforced to the letter and
taken into court.

CHAMPION GOES HOME.
Frank Gotch Left Kenosha on Tuesday
Evening for His Home on the
Farm In Humboldt, Iowa.

Frank Gotch, the world $ champion
wrestler, is back on the farm at Hum
holdt, Iowa, again. With his leg,
which was broken in an exhibition bout
here week ago healing famously he
left Kenosha late Tuesday night with
a ticket for himself and his wife
straight through to Humboldt. He ex-
pected to make just one change of
cars. The champion rode the baggage
car out of Kenosha and he was COM
fortably arranged on big roomy cot.
At Chicago he was placed in sleeping
car berth and his Kenosha cot placed
in the baggage car.
g just had feeling that I wanted
to get back to the farm and the kid
and we are going to Humboldt, = Gotch
said as they put him aboard the train.

me in Kenosha but / just felt that if I

and that is if / fall off pillow some
time and break another leg I would
like to get back to Kehosha to have it
fixed up.
Mrs. Gotch, who has been with the
champion for the past week, declared
that everything was in readiness for
their home coming out at Humboldt and
that when they got there they expected
to stay. Physicians declare that Gotch
will be able to use his leg again in a
month or six weeks but that he will have
to keep off the mat for much longer
time.

fined on charge Of working in the city
without a license new warrants were
issued for their arrest on the complaint
Of J. D. Rosenblum who charged them
wit hobtaining junk under false pre-
lenses. He charged that they had gone
to the Oberst home in the town of Som
ers and had secured a quantity of junk
on the statement that they were repre-
senting the Rosenblum company in Ke-
nosha. The two Racine men pleaded
!" Not Guilty" to this charge and were
held in bonds Of 800 for an adjourned
hearing. They furnished the bonds and
were released.
Police Officers declare that the en-
forcement Of the new city license law
is beginning to show results. Many Of
the peddlers who have been coming to
Kenosha for years have declined to con-
tinue their visits under the new ordi-
nance. 1t is declared that the new or
dinance has practically put an end to
the visits of the Armenian and Turkish
dry goods peddlers of the city.
