for Liquor Violations.
(By United Press

Naturalization" Krocker, former
we'll known Milwaukee saloonkeeper,
was given ten months in the house of
correction and fine of S4,250 by Fed
eral Judge Geiger here today, when he
pleaded guilty to violating the liquor
laws. Krocker recently sold his sa-
loon when he was indicted on 70
counts. His prison sentence is the
longest of any of more than 100 people
indicted by the grand jury just before
the holidays. Seven other men of the
alleged flake shore whiskey ring" were
sentenced to the house of correction
and began serving their sentences to-
day.

members of the party and they refused
him admission and when he became
insistent in his demand they appealed
to the officers of the Warren avenue
station for protection. The man later
is declared to have broken in the door
leading to the apartment and Mrs,
Johnson and other members of the
party ran from the apartment. Police
officers came in to the place from both
the front and the rear door and as
Mrs. Johnson ran out one of the Of
fcers fired and she fell hit by the bull
let. 1t was said that the man who had
sought entrance to the place was
known as a user of narcotics and he
appeared to be under the influence of
drugs when he came to the house. This
man was afterward captured by the
police officers and is being held in
Chicago now. 1t is possible that
Mrs. Johnson will be called as wit
ness in the case.
Taken to Cook County Hospital.
After the shooting Mrs. Johnson was
taken by one of the police officers to
the Cook County hospital where she
was cared for while she recuperated
from her wound. 1t is declared that
one of the police officers connected with
the shooting had told Mrs. Johnson
that "she was lucky to escape being
killed." Some time after her injury
Mrs. Johnson was brought to Kenosha
by her mother and taken to the home
on South Park avenue. The wounded
woman admitted to the police that she
had not told her mother the full facts
in regard to the case and that she had
said that she had been 3vaccinated."
The mother discovered the thirty-eight
calibre bullet wound and then Mrs.
Johnson told the full story of the
shooting.
Lieutenant Michael Hughes of the
detective bureau in Chicago, has been
handling that. end of the case and it
is declared that he has been instructed
to make searching investigation in
to all facts in the case.
"The Chicago detective bureau is
not particularly interested in the story
of Mrs. Johnson" declared Chief of
Police O'Hare this morning "They
have investigated the case and they
know all the details necessary. They
do not believe that the presence of
Mrs. johnson is wanted in Chicago in
connection with the case against the
man arrested. If they want her they
know just where she may be found.
Mrs. Johnson has told the whole story
to our department and we have no
further work to do in the matter. AS
said before, we have no request from
Chicago officials to take any action in
regard to the young woman"

this morning. at is. not an ordin-
ance which is supposed to bring any
revenue to the city. In fact, the
cost of administration would be very
nearly as much as the city could hope
to secure from the issuance of the

toward aiding the police to clear up
difficulties" .t-.--
Legal opinion on the matter has not
been secured but it is believed that
there is nothing in Wisconsin laws re-
lating to the operation of automobiles
which would prevent the ordinance be
ing passed as a police regulation in
Kenosha. The Chicago officials feel
that Chicago and Kenosha are so near
together that it would be of great val
ue to the officials of both cities to have
the ordinance enacted here The chi
cago officials will make a similar re-
quest to the city of Racine.
Would Effect Over 5000.
The enactment of the ordinance
would hit over five thousand people in
the city of Kenosha as the recent rec
ords of the state show that nearly
this number of automobiles are own
ed here. 1t is probable that the a.
dinanee would provide that but one
registration would be necessary for
each automobile

WOMEN SCARE
BURGLAR AWAY
Mrs. Mccarthy Frightens
Prowler Attempting to
Enter Kelly Home.
HAD THE WINDOW OPEN

A prowler, who had carefully open
ed window into the bathroom of the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. James Kelly, 1855
West street, and who was just start
ng to crawl into the home, was fright
ened away on Sunday evening just
after eight o'clock, by the bravery of
Mrs. Emma Mccarthy and her daugh-
ter, Florence, who occupy the upper
apartment of the house.
What do you want?" the woman
called to the man from the window of
their home. The prowler never
stopped to answer. He hastily pulled
his leg out of the window and ran
pell-mell from the home. No at
tempt was made to follow him and no
trace of him has been found.
Family Visiting Friends.
Early in the evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Kelly had gone to the home of neigh
Dor to spend the evening. The storm
window into the bathroom had haen
left slightly open and was easy of
egress for prowler. It is thought
that some one who was familiar with
the home staged the attempted rob-
berry as the person seemed to be
familiar with the house and the plans
of the owners.
Mrs. Mccarthy and her daughter,
knowing that the Kelly family were
not at home, were aroused by strange
noise in the lower part of the house
Mr.. Mccarthy, not at all frightened by
it, waited until she located the prowler
as he was at work on the window lead
ing into the bathroom of the home
She declared that the man had his cap
pulled we'll down over his eyes and
that he appeared to be about forty
years of age. He went carefully
about the business of opening the
window as if he were accustomed to
that kind of work.

however, begins midnight. Thus
the hour-hand is twice in every
revolution at the zero point, viz.
at midnight and again at noon.
This is the origin Of the A. M.
and p. NJ. arrangement. which also
entirely disregards the difference
between daylight and darkness.
But in practical, everyday life,
and from the popular point of view.
that difference cannot be thus
treated as If 1t did not exist, and
the necessity of recognizing it, and
taking account of 1t, has led to
useful and agreeable, subdivisions
Of the twenty-four-hour period
called a day. Some of the terms
used for these subdivisions accord
substantially with those already
mentioned, and some do not. Thus
afternoon" and forenoon" are
popular terms, usually restricted to
the respective intervals of time be-
tween noon and sunset and sunrise
and noon. But these do not accord
with the p. M. and A. M. intervals
since the latter begins and ends not
with sunrise and sunset, but with
midnight and noon.
There are twelve A. NJ. and twelve
p. M. hours, and only on the aver
age. six forenoon and six afternoon
hours. The two systems meet only
at the noon line. where forenoon
changes to afternoon and where A.
NJ. becomes p. M. In the general
acceptance of the terms, forenoon
and afternoon are restricted to the
daylight hours and do not run
through the hours of, darkness.
Morning" is nearly synonymous
with forenoon, but many persons
think of II as being restricted to
the early hours, and as noon ap.
proaches they speak of the time as
being forenoon rather than morn
ing. On the other hand. the term
morning is often applied to the
first six hours of the A. NJ. period,
as forenoon never is.
