calibre rifle She and her little
brother were playing in an upper
room. 1t is supposed that she fired
the gun herself.
The bullet entered her right side
near the lower ribs. 1t was feared
the shot would be fatal and Mr.. Phil
lips took her to Little Rock where
an Xray examination was made. The
Xray picture showed the bullet to be
lodged just behind the hip. A rib
turned the bullet thus saving in
ternal injury.

RACINE men
STOLE AUTO
Car of Walter Rusk, Sheri-
dan Road, Recovered by
Racine Officers.
TWO MEN ARE HELD

John Cochrane and Edward Wendell,
both of Racine, were arrested in Mil
waukee on Sunday, charged with the
theft of a Chevrolet automobile be-
longing to Walter Rusk of 155 Sheridan
road, Kenosha. The auto was stolen
in Racine last week. The automobile
and the two men were brought back to
Racine by Detective Charles Yanny.
1t is said that the men have confessed
to the theft.
Detective Moran of the Milwaukee
police department, deserves the major
part of the credit for the capture.
Immediately after the auto theft was
reported, Racine police communicated
with Milwaukee, Kenosha, Chicago and
other cities. Detective Moran had a
description of the car in his pocket.
He was making the rounds when he
saw a Chevrolet car, without license
plates standing in front of a restau-
rant. It fitted the description of the
auto stolen in Racine.
Were Out on Joy Ride.
There we're only four patrons in the
restaurant-tw men and two women.
They were seated at a table eating.
Moran engaged them in conversation,
asking who the autuo belonged to-.
They told him the two young men,
who had left the restaurant a short
time before, had taken them for a
ride. They left the auto stand in
front of the restaurant while they
went in search of poker game.
Moran waited until four o'clock in
the morning before his quarry re-
turned. When the men stepped into
the automobile, he placed them both
under arrest. The Racine police de-
parliament was then notified.
They were arraigned before Court

BROTHER DEAD
SISTER DEMENTED
Police Break Into Milwaukee House to
Find Demented Sister Holding
Vigil Over Brothers Body.
tBv Associated Pressl


Misunderstanding into the home
of Charles Ernst, aged SO, the police
this morning found the body of Ernst
on the floor of the little parlor while
in the kitchen, half frozen and appar-
emily demented, sat his spinster sister,
Matilda, aged 81. Ernst had been dead
for a week. No one had visited the
home in that time and no suspicion
had been reused by the absence of
signs of life about the house. This
morning a neighbor aroused by the
accumulation of newspapers called the
olice and a physician, who broke in
% the house and made the grewsome
discovery. The coroner's physician
declared Ernst had died of pneumonia.
The sister had evidently eaten nothing
for a week. She was taken to hos
pital and the body of the brother turn
ed over to relatives.

WOMAN ORATOR
TO SPEAK HERE
Mrs. Mary Harris Armour,
Famous Leader, Speaks
Here Next Sunday.
DAUNTLESS CHAMPION

Mrs. Mary Harris Armour, who is
known from one end of the country to
the other as '"The Woman Orator of
America" will speak in Kenosha on
Sunday evening at the Park Avenue
NJ. E. church, according to the an
nouncement made this morning by Of
fcers of the Kenosha branch of the
w C. T. u, under whose auspices Mrs,
Armour will come to Kenosha. The
local organization is elated that they
have been able to secure this famous
Georgia woman, as she is one of the
most prominent leaders of women in
America.
Mrs. Armour has not announced her
subject for the address to be given
in Kenosha. She has been a great
leader in the temperance cause and may
choose this subject although she is also
a lecturer on various other subjects.
Helped Make Dixie Dry.
Mrs. Armour is a native of Georgia
and she first sprang into prominence
by the part which she took in helping
to make this state one of the first of
the southern states to pass on prohi-
bition measure. She was president of
the Georgia W. C. T. u. from 1905-19O9
and it was largely Through her in
spiration and efforts that Georgia out
lawed the liquor traffic. Mrs. Armour
was one of the main speakers at the
recent state w. G. T. U. convention
and the Kenosha delegates to that
meeting declared that she was easily
the feature of the convention.
Mrs. Armour has long been a power
in the church, Sunday school and mis-
sionary movement and in recent years
has been one of the eagerly sought
orators on the chautauqua platform.
In June 1918, Wesleyan College in
Macon, Georgia, the oldest college for
women in America, and probably the
first in the world to confer degrees on
women conferred on her it's first honor
airy degree, that of Doctor Of Laws.
"a Dauntless Champion"
Those who have heard Mrs. Armour
speak once, twice, six or a dozen times
are the most eager to hear her again.
Her eloquence is unexcelled. She is
the peer of any platform speaker, man
or woman, in the world today. Added
to her vision of a nation-of a world
redeemed from the drink evil is her
ever present common-sense as to
the methods. The plans she suggests
are practicable and workable.

Wage Reduction
NV United pressl

Westinghouse will fight against
any attempt to reduce wages until the
high cost of living had gone down
considerably, according to an an
nouncement here today. An extensive
fight is planned by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor who meet6 here on
Thursday. Frank Morrison, secretary
of the Federation, said today, Labor
will fight any attempt to reduce living
standards" Morrison also stated that

boring men are that prices are not
cut enough for to warrant any present

RACE SUICIDE FOR FRENCH.

Frances efforts to raise the
birth rate and lower the death rate by
means Of the new ministry of hygiene
are too recent to be judged by eompre-
hensive statistics. The Importance Of
the problem, however, is given pessi-
mistic prominence anew by publication
Of the labor ministry's statistics for
1919. There were three deaths to two
births last year. In only one depart
ment, Finisterre, did births exceed the
deaths. In a number deaths were dou-
BILE and even nearly treble the number
of births.

parachute and that the daring exhibit
ton on Sunday was to have been his
last for the year. He had planned

lean War Veterans are to march with
the veterans of the last war. Captain

short speech presenting the victory
medals to the post and following it the

sent them to individual soldiers.
