time as a result Of the accident.
Martello had gone riding with P. J,
Zanella, who resides at 859 Middle
street and as the men were driving
south along Sheridan road one of the
hats of the party blew off and Martello
offered to get out and get It. A Ford
touring car, running at high rate Of
speed, came along just as Martello was
reaching for the hat. The car struck
Martello and went over him.
Stop Minute, Then Go Or.
1t was alleged that the man driving
the Ford automobile stopped his car
about block from the scene Of the
accident, but when he saw that the
friends of Martello were picking him
up and placing him in the automobile
they went on.
County Deputy Nick Otto, who was
riding the road" at the time of the
accident later arrested A. T. Schuet-
telc of Zurich, Wisconsin, the driver
of the car which struck Martello and
he is being held pending further inves-
legations. He said that he did not
know that the man had been severely
hurt.

Kenosha liberals In Aid
Kenosha republicans have already
shown their willingness to aid the
national campaign and the fund ask
ed from this county has been subscrib-
ed and nearly all Of it has already
been paid in. It is certain that later

asked to show it's interest in the party
by aiding in the financing of the work
Of the party in the home county but it
is not expected that any great drain"
will be made for political work.

Nab CHICAGOAN
AND MONEY BOX
Police Take Man AS AIleg-
ed Swindler and Get
Wonderful Device.
CHANGED OVER MONEY

A wonderful machine for raising
dollar bills to fives and tens and TWEEN
ties, the most wonderful continuance
Of its sort, was seized by the police Of
Kenosha Sunday night when Detective
Charles Rock invaded a locker at the
station of the Northwestern Railway
company and took possession of the
continuance. In connection with the
seizure, Frank Sronit, who claims Chi
cago as his home, is being held at the
city lookup, He was booked as a
swindler and the police believe it pos
sible that he may have been connected
with band of swindlrs who recently
worked in Milwaukee and who secured
more than $4,000. It is not known
that the swindie was operated in Ke-
nosha but it is declared that Sronit
was active in saloons on the north side
Of the city. He was picked up at
Eichelman Park by Police Officers Long
and Schneeberger early Sunday even
ing. He had nearly $125 in money and
key to the parcel box at the station.
The investigation of the box revealed
the money box"
A Wonderful Continuance.
The box was wonderful contriv-
ance and it was loaded for operation
when it was taken by the detective.
The continuance was box Of highly
polished oak, probably foot square,
fitted with moving platforms and with
electrical devices, the only purpose of
which was to fool the gullible. The
operation Of the machine was simple.
The operator had dollar bill pasted
on piece of white paper showing
both sides of the bill. This was placed
on one Of the platforms and the bat
teries started and minute later there
was click and presto" the box was
opened and it was found that the bill
had beer changed to a twenty. Z was
decidedly clever device and the plan
so perfectly worked out that it caught
the admiration Of even the mayor this
morning. "I'm going to get one Of
those do-jigegrs right away" the may
or commented as he looked it over.
Seek Facts About Owner.
Sronik made statement to the po-
lice in which, he declared that he had
purchased the device in Dayton, Ohio,
three weeks ago and he said he came
to Kenosha on last Tuesday He re-
fused to admit that he had used the
box to swindle anyone in Kenosha and
insisted that he just had it for his
own amusement. The money on the
sliding platform was just as good as
the government makes and the man
could not be held for counterfeiting or
on any similar charge. The large
amount of money he had in his pockets
indicated to the police officers a suspi-
cion that he might have been working
his game in Kenosha. He admitted
that he had been here several weeks
ago and that at that time ne had made
a round Of the saloons in the city. 1t
lis thought possible that the man had
planned to sell the device here. He is
being held pending some vigorous ex-
aminations. Meantime the device has
been confscated and it is the most
interesting curio in the Office of the
police department. Milwaukee officials
have been advised of the arrest of the
man and they are expected to come
here to question him.

Kenosha Republicans almost to a
man are ready to get into line under

ton on Saturday while surprise, is

ership. 1t is admitted that lot of the
Kenosha party leaders liked Wood,
that others Of them were favorable
to Senator Johnson and that some Of
them believed Hoover was the man to
take for President but these men to-
day we're united in expressing sat
isfaction in the nomination of Hard
ing.
Senator Harding is known to a num-
Der of the local leaders of the party
as it is recalled that he visited Ken
.osha during the campaign Of 1916 when
he was a member Of the party of form
er President Taft. He did not speak
in Kenosha but he is remembered as
the life Of the party with the former
President.

lican county committee went house

been stolen from Chicago early Sun
garage Of the Long Motors company
on Park street. The car was brought
to the garage by Nick Otto, county

driven by a man named L. Simon-or

high rate of speed when another car
tried to pass and there was a collision
which resulted in the Overland being
thrown out into the ditch against a
telegraph pole. There we're four peo-
pie besides Simon in the car. Later
Simon went to the police Office and
sought the arrest of the man who
caused the accident and then he dis
appeared.
Find Car Was Stolen.
An investigation was started which
revealed the fact that the automobile
had been stolen in Chicago early in
the day and the owner Of it came to
Kenosha on Sunday afternoon and ar
ranged to have it repaired so he could
drive it back to Chicago. He said he
never heard of L. Simon and that the
car was stolen. Search for Simon and
the other men was made but not a
trace of them was found. Four Of
the men in the car wore civilian
clothing and the other was evidently
a sailor from the Great Lakes Station.
The local officers made no effort to
hold the men after the accident as

MINIMUM WAGE BOARD
SEEKS INFORMATION
Asks Hotel Proprietors and Others
for List of Women and
Minors Employed.

i The Minimum Wage Board today
sent blanks to all hotels. boarding
houses. apartments, clubs. hospitals.
restaurants and cafeterias, on which
they must write the names OF all
women and minors in their employ
and return to the board by June Is.
The board states that these data are
needed to properly enforce the order
effective May 26. making the minimum
wage for women and minors In these
places $3.50 a week.
A statement issued by the board to-
day follows:
Some question has been raised as
to the Interpretation of the various
provisions of the order. 1t has been
suggested that it did not apply to the
places named unless food was served
therein. 1t was the intention of the
board that the order should include all
the places named, whether they served
food or not. The board has changed
the language to make this intention
clear The original order stands and
the supplement does not change the
date at which the minimum rate be-
comes effective. namely. May 26. 1920.
- number of inquiries have been
made whether private boarding and
lodging houses come within the scope
Of the order. The board is of the
opinion that private families accom-
modating less than five boarders or
dodgers do not come under the pro-
visions of the order, but places in
which a larger number of boarders or
dodgers are provided for are subject
to the provisions of the order.
The board has held that the min
