HARD PRACTICE
ORDER OF week
FOR HIGH LADS
Tilt With Alexis at Douglas Parr.
Next Saturday Demands Long
Workouts.
By PIGSKN PETE.

Probably the address delivered nv
| Coach Kimmel to ambitious hisb
gridders yesterday afternoon in
stead of the regular field practice
I because of wet grounds, was n,
more value than chasing the brown
| egg so soon after the first clash ~
! the season.
The boys congregated for the
purpose of assimilating instructions
and suggestions prepared by the
coach after seeing them against the
Alumni Saturday. 1t is his inten-
ton to give the boys a stiff workout
this week and cover up some of the
weak spots that were noticeable.
kimmell said, in regard to the
game with the alumni. that he was
surprised the high eleven was not
defeated by a larger score. With
seven green and inexperienced men
in the lineup a whole lot could not
be expected. The boys stood up well
and showed good indications of
real battlers. Instructions will
have to be given constantly and the
finer points should be picked up bv
hard practice and future encoun-
tiers.
Alexis Next.
Alexis will meet DOMAINS squad
at Douglas field next Saturday. In
former years Alexis has put up a
stiff fight, and the same is expected
this time. After Alexis comes Gen
eseo. and If those husky farmer
lads go home with defeat marked
on their faces it will mean much to
Rock Island. Geneseo has always
furnished strong opposition and il
will be a good chance for the team
to test their mettle and see what
it is really made of.

KENOSHA WOMEN
BEFORE GRAND JURY
Federal Probers in Milwaukee Are
Credited With Investigating
KenOsha Matters Today.

Two Kenosha women, both of them
widely known in the city, appeared as
witnesses before the federal grand
jury in Milwaukee today, according to
messages received from Milwaukee
this afternoon. The report did not in
innate the nature of the testimony
which these two Kenosha people were
to present to the grand jury and eff
forts to find anything in regard to the
matter were covered by the cloak of
secrecy which hangs about grand jury
Investigations. 1t was said that both
of the young ladies had been employed
in the Offices of Attorney Walter M.
Burke of this city. Mr.. Burke has on
several occasions given out statements
in which he declared that he had ex-
pected that some investigation would
be made of his office, but he has de-
clared that there has been no violation
of any law and that he has courted
such Investigations. Mr.. Burke had
admitted that he has had relations
with the men who were dealing in IL
quor as an attorney, but he declares
that his relations with them were
wholly of a professional nature and
strictly within the law.

Assembly Passes Bill After a Stormy
Session This Morning With
Majority to Spare.

Madison, Wis.-The Hirst highway
privilege tax bill, expected to raise
four million dollars annually sfrom a
two per cent tax on the valuation of
all automobiles jim the state, was re-
vived in the assembly today So to 35,
and then after a stormy session was
engrossed Sc to SO.
Reconsideration has been moved,
but it now seems that the measure
will go through the legislature. Ac-
ceptance of the Hirst proposal COM
pletes the adoption of the entire finance
committee program which the commit
tee claims will make additional taxes
for the coming two years unnecessary.
Fourteen amendments were offered
on the floor, practically all of them
going down to defeat One amendment
offered by Assemblyman Camper, stip-
ulating that no salaries of highway
workers can be raised during the next
bi-ennium, was adopted 48 to 81 when
the ranks broke.
Many of the forces opposing passage
of the measure withdrew their objec-
tions during the past two days and
have been asking it's acceptance. They
claim that rather than raise the level
of taxes, it will materially lower the
general property tax.
