Judge TulIy Must Decide
How Far Buying May and
Sept. Wheat on Margin
May Be Gambling.
ACTION BROUGHT ON NOTE
Innocent Third Party is Made Defend
ant in Suit Brought by Hadden Co.
to Collect Note Turned Over After
Account is CLOSED OUT.

Judge James T. Tully of the Munich
pal Court is to decide the long dis
IcHssed question as to Just what extent
transactions on the stock market are
gambling = Leading attorneys of
Kenosha and other cities are to sub
nit briefs on the question to the Keno
sha jurist and he is expected to hand
down a decision some time in the near
future. The decision is to come in the
case of the E. G. Hadden Company
against John Banypska, evidence in
which was heard in the Municipal Court
on Thursday. The Hadden company,
one of the leading brokerage houses in
this section of the country, has brought
suit to recover on a note given by
Banyuska. The defendant in the
ease had nothing to do with the al
legged gambling" operations.
Gave Note Years Ago.
Years ago the note was given by
Banyuska to James johnson, a Kenosha
man, and later Johnson tried to dabble
in May and September wheat on the
Milwaukee stock exchange with the
Hadden company acting as the dabbler
for him. The usual call for margins
came and the account was closed out
and johnson was found to be indebted
to the company in the amount of some
thing over five hundred dollars. In
settlement of the account he is alleged
to have turned over the Banyuska note
which had been given as a part con-
sideFation of a real estate transfer.
Johnson is not defendant in the case
in court, but the defense interposed in
his behalf is that the transactions with
the MADDEN company were of a gamb-
ling nature and that recovery is impos-
sible under the statute
MADDEN Tells of Operations.
The Municipal Court had chance to
learn all about bulls and "bears
and margins and sell outs ON Thursday
when e. G. MADDEN, the president of
the Milwaukee company, was on tne
stand in the case and told in consider
able detail the various operations con
nected with the dealings of johnson on
the " change in Milwaukee. MADDEN
declared that every transaction was car
ried out with the sanction of the Mil
waukee Chamber of Commerce. The
case promises to be of interest, The
decision of Judge Tully will not be
the first on the question of stock ex-
change gambling. Several other deci-
sions have been made by Wisconsin
courts.

FIFTY NASH CARS
CAUGHT IN SNOW
Cars Enroute to Chicago are Caught in
Snow Drift Near Zion Friday
and Forced to Return

The snow storm and blizzard which
struck Kenosha on Friday did not pre-
vent fifty Nash drivers from starting
with their daily output Of cars to drive
through to Chicago where the cars are
shipped to far points. In spite Of the
driving storm they fought their way
on the Sheridan road almost to Zion
City, but just north Of the state line
they encountered drift which was
impossible. After attempting to bat
ctr their way through it for several
hours the drivers turned their cars
around and came back to Kenosha
where storage was found for them in
several garages.

CALL FOR LAST PA YlNENT
ON PREFERRED STOCK
Kenosha Ho1neC Company Shows Stock
holders Large Amount of Work
Done in Building Homes

Thirty acres have been covered with
comfortable homes by the Kenosha
Homes Company, according to the
statement made to preferred steckhold-
ers by President and Manager
Milton L. Dowse, in his fifth call for
payment of subscriptions of preferred
stock which was sent out this morning.
In spite Of the handicap of bad
weather which has greatly retarded
the work, the cold weather beginning a
month earlier this year than usual, the
work of building the houses in Park
View subdivision has forged steadily
along whenever there has been a few
hours that could be used without de-
preciating the structure, and every day
or two some family is enabled to move
into new home.
In his letter calling for the last in
Dstallment of the preferred stock sub
scriptions, Manager Dowse says:
This is the fifth and last call for
payment of your subscription for pre-
ferred stock of the Kenosha Homes Co.
The cooperation we have had from
those who have met their calls prompt
ly has helped the housing situation
very materially.
IA visit to the splendid subdivision
on the south side will convince the
most skeptieal that the money they
have invested has obtained immediate
results, It is the best boosting invest
ment that people of Kenosha have
ever made.
The Kenosha Homes Company has
covered thirty acres with comfortable
homes. We hope you win continue to
cooperate with us so that we may Gov
en- twice as many acres this year. The
company has an investment Of $586,000
which is quite respectable boost for
Kenosha. =
While the Kenosha Homes Company
is completing the Park View subdivi-
sion, it is also getting ready to begin
the construction of several hundred
houses in another subdivision when
spring opens.

MUST CONSULT
STATE ENGINEER
Park Board Is Notified that
It Must Have Sanction for
Plans for Public Com
fort Stations.
MANAGEMENT OF STATE

Members of the Board Of Park Com
mission have been advised by the State
Board Of Health that the board must
be taken into consideration when the
Park Board decides on any plans for
the erection of comfort stations in Ke-
nosha. Under the laws the plans for
these stations must have the sanction
of the state sanitary engineer. The
engineer must not only be consulted
before the plans for the building arc
adopted and bids ordered, but he must
also be consulted on the question of
the location of such buildings in any
of the parks Of the city.
As yet the Kenosha Park Board has
submitted no plans to the sanitary en-
gineers of the state. The engineers
have worked out series of plans for
such comfort stations and they are
ready to cooperate with local park
boards in seeing that the plans are
carried out.
Architects May Get Hunch.
The local board has asked architects
to compete for the job of furnishing
plans fer the comfort station, band
stand and shelter for Lincoln Park and
the one best lunch for these architects
lis to get into communication with the
state engineers and find out just what
is demanded by the state. Management
of the comfort stations is by. the law
placed directly under the engineers of
the State Bea1d of Health and tend
|ency is being shown to demand that the
law be lived up to to the every letter.
As the state sanitary engineer is
coming to Kenosha in short time TO
confer with the special garbage crew "
in regard to the garbage question it is
thought that the Park Board can get an
interview with him at the same time.
