I'LL EXHIBITS IN POSITION
Motor Experts Who Come for Opening
Day Declare Show "Best Ever and
Give High Praise to Efforts of Com
mittee in Charge of Third Annual.
(From Wednesdays Dailyl

Notwithstanding the fact that old
man winter staged real comeback
Tuesday night, the doors of the Coli
seum swung wide at noon today to re-
veal to a big crowd Of people the beau
ties of Kenosha' q third annual auto
mobile show, and with more than
thirty exhibits of automobiles in place
and more than that number of displays
of accessories, the committee in charge
bade defnance to the weather and de-
clared that good or bad weather the
people of Kenosha were offered the
best automobile show ever given in
Wisconsin.
The big hall is crowded with dis
plays of the product Of the auto max
ers art There is such wonderful
display of automobiles, and they are
displayed under such charming circum-
stances, that the show is certain to
prove attractive to men in the motor
world in other cities and the Kenosha
show is going to be pattern for a lot
Of shows to be held later in the season.
The list of exhibitors is the largest
ever known in a Kenosha show. At
noon today nearly every one Of the
exhibits were ready for the inspection
Of the crowds expected during the next
three days. The bad weather inter
fered little with the automobiles be-
ing brought over land from distribut-
ing centers, but, at noon every man
had his display ready. Here is the list
of the cars shown and the men show
ing them;
The Jeffrey, shown by B. f, Stahl;

Tn addition to the display in the
Coliseum, truck displays have been
placed on the street about the building.
There was big crowd on hand for
the opening this afternoon, among the
number were many experts in the mo-
tor business.
The prizes to be given away each
night are attracting more than common
interest, especially the three months
old baby to be given out to some for
tunate parent this evening. The par
ty getting this prize will have to be
in the hall at 10 p. M, the time at
which the one to receive it will be
decided The howl of protest that is
going up from a number Of citizens
against presenting the baby as one of
the prizes comes not only from indi-
viduals, but several different organi-
cations of the city are taking hand
today.
At a special meeting of the commit.
tee held this morning, called to con-
slider the objection that had been
raised to using a baby as a prize to
attract crowd, it was decided to con-
tinue along the lines originally plan
ned. The various members of the
committee were of the opinion that
whereas the infant now has no home
one would thus be provided and there
fore a good be done rather than any
harm They listened to several OBJ,
iections from prominent persons of the
city who came before them in hopes
Of persuading them to make change
In the arrangements. However, the
committee stood firm, and unless some
legal action is taken to prevent it
there is no doubt now but that the
baby viii be given out as the prize.
Tt is questionable whether such ac
tion win be taken, as so far no or
ganization or individual has taken The
matter definitely in hand, other thar
to raise voice of protest. AS the time
Is short, it is also questionable whether
any action can be put through before
If is too late. Tt has been suggested
that court injunction might be Sc
cured, but so far there is no one OF
organization that has taken it upoT
himself to be responsible for suci
steps.
