MORE SEARCHERS
FOR FORD CARS
Aurora Men Come Again
Today in an Effort to
Identify Car.
NO TRACE IS FOUND

More Aurora men came to Kenosha
today in an effort to identify the auto
mobile which the police had taken from
J: O'Neil after the latter escaped on
Saturday following the shooting of
Police Officer Kirsch and it appears
that half a dozen Ford sedans were
stolen in Aurora in the past two
weeks. While one Aurora man identi-
fed the Ford on Tuesday, the police
were not convinced that the identified
tion was a reliable one. The identi-
fication was made on account of a
dent in door which is alleged to have
resulted from the dor being struck by
a hammer thrown at dog. The story
was graphic but the police declared
today that it was not convincing.
Still Seek Battered Car.
The police are still sending letters
to police officers and marshals in the
smaller towns of Northern Illinois
uring them to search for the battered
car in which the auto thieves escaped
from Kenosha on Saturday. Not a
trace of this car has been found and
no arrests have been made anywhere.
One suspect was picked up by the
police on Tuesday afternoon and he
was closely examined by Detective
Rock but later he was released. 1t
was admitted that the man under ar
rest was believed to have been one of
the men in the bandit car, but his
identity was not revealed.

To have made more flour than any
other man in the world is the unique
distinction of John Krost local miller.
Krost has had Al years of milling ex-
berience and will retire from active
participation in his business on March

138,0o0,00O barrels of flour. Krost is
50 years of age and is hale and hearty.
This -four that he has milled if it was
thrown over the city would be as a

That the confession of Frank Lang,
convicted of the murder Of Charles
Pacini, was singularly inconsistent
as to make it impossible for it to be
properly considered as legal evidence
against Lang, let alone be the basis of
a conviction on a charge of murder,
was the burden of the argument pre-
scented to Judge Belden this morning
by Attorney Robert Verne Baker when
the hearing on the motion to set aside
the verdict or order new trial was
started before Judge Belden in the
circuit court.
The brilliant argument of Baker pre-
scented in a most dramatic manner,
evidently had for its end the discharge
Of Lang, regardless of the verdict, and
the attorneys for the state at one time
protested against the argument on the
grounds hat it was not an argument
on any alleged errors in the trial of
the case but an appeal to set aside
the verdict The objection Of the state
was ended when Judge Belden directed
Baker to proceed with his argument.
Crowds Disappointed Again.
The crowds which filed the court
house to overfowing were disappointed
again today as the hearing was held
in the county court room and as it was
not large enough to admit tenth Of
the people who came to hear the argu-
ment All of the spectators were
barred and the argument was taken up
with less than twenty-five people in

officials. the defendant and his wife,
and representatives of the bar. The

TODAY'S QUESTION:
"Do you think the rental rates for
residences are fair in Kenosha ?"
ANSWERS:
William Cobalt, Groyer-st., mechan-
ic.-0ur rent was lowered 1870 three
months ago and I think the rent we
are paying now is fair enough. You
must consider that the landlord is
paying very high taxes this year.
F. T. 9TH, 161 Novelist, automobile
mechanically rent am paying is as
fair as would want it. We have lived
in this house for II years and / am
glad to say that our landlord is as
good houseowner as there is in Ke-
nosha.
L. Larose, 1916 Prairie-ave., laborer.
II am paying SIT a month for g.
room house and | am satisfied. I would
rather rent house than own one in
these days.
Mrs. A. G., Pleasant-pl., housewife.
II have 4-room cottage for which 1
charge $40 a month rent, and l think
that is very reasonable. The taxes
this year amount to over $3.50, so you
see house is an awfully expensive
investment today.
Ted seifert, 500 Grant-st., jobless.-

worry much about rent, but if it was
mt for the extension in time for pay
ing our taxes, don't know where we
would be when March 18th came.

WOMAN FOUND
DEAD in BED
Mrs. L. Rugg Dies Early
This Morning from En-
laEgement Of Heart.
I'LL BUT A SHORT TIME


Death made a very sudden call in
Kenosha this morning when Mrs. Lis
liam Rugg, aged thirty-nine years, the
wife of George Rugg, died at their
home at 731 South Pleasant street,
from heart trouble, being, sick only a
very short time from the fatal attack
Mrs. Rugg, to whom was born baby
daughter about three weeks ago, had
apparently recovered rapidly from her
confinement. On Tuesday evening
she was in the best Of spirits and
health and complained of no unusual
symptoms.
During the night she had been awake
several times but had not complained
to any one in the home of any illness.
Mr.. Rugg after dressing himself this
morning, went to his wife's bedside
and spoke to her and she said moth
ing regarding any pain. Then he
went to the basement of the home to
care for the furnace.
Taken With Severe Pains.
Lillian, the eight year old daugh-
ter of the two, was awakened by her
mother Screaming. She ran to the
stairway leading to the basement of
the hUme and called her father. When
Mr.. Rugg reached the bedside of his
wife, she was dead.
Coroner Parker was. notified imme-
diately of the death and a medical ex-
animation at his direction, carried on
by Dr.. Christoferson, revealed that
death had come from enlargement of
the heart. The deceased had not been
afflicted with the same trouble previ-
ously, but it is said that she was in
weakened condition which made her
unable to withstand the first attack
of the malady.
Mother Died in Same Way.
A peculiar circumstance in connec-
ton with the death is that the mother
of the deceased, Mrs Joseph Pecan,
died from the same illness shortly
after the birth of child.
Mrs. Rugg was born in Michigan,
September 2, 1881, the daughter. of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Pecan. She had
lived much Of her life in the Wolverine
street but came to Kenosha several
years ago. She is survived by her hus-
band and by several children She al
so leaves a large circle of friends in
Kenosha who lament her death.
No definite arrangements have yet
been made for the funeral services but
they will probably be held Saturday
morning at the home with interment
following in the family plot in the
Green Ridge cemetery.

''Never since they ceased to APP
ply the thumb-screw and the rack
has a confession secured by
threats as here had any reliability
before the law because it is con-
trary to the dictates of humanity"
declared Attorney Baker in closing
his argument for the setting aside
of the verdict in the Lang case this
afternoon. He resumed his argu-
ment after the. noon adjournment
and pointed out that in his opinion
the instructions of the court made
it necessary for Lang to prove his
innocence rather than for the state
to prove his guilt.
Baker declared that the police
came to court with a ''made-to-or-
der" phrase-.not in my presence"
He declared that the confessions
of Biennemann that he had made
Lang stand with his arms uplifted
was proof that the statement of
Lang had not been voluntary one
dictated by the call of conscience.
