NASH SALES
SHOW ADV NCE
Auto Business Looking
up" as Shown by Sales
at New York Show.
HAVE BIG RETAIL SALES

That business is Hooking up" a lit
tie and is on the way back to the
realm of normally, is shown by the
report of the dealings of the Nash
company at the New York show. "The
report isn't anywhere near as good as
it was last year" said w. H. Afford,
vice-president of the company, this
morning, "but it does show that the
people are getting back to the buying
habit and while I have told the BOYS
around here that we need not expect
repetition Of the. business of last
year that I am inclined to believe that
there is going to be some real bust
ness" Sales at the New York show
did not reach the high figures of last
year for the Nash company or any
other company, but the, feeling that
has been brought back from the first
big show is that conditions are get
ting better.
44so of Last Years Sales.
Mr.. Afford when asked in regard to
the volume of the sales of the Nash
cars, as reported at the New York
show, said: II am inclined to believe
that the general sales covering the
territory were about 4496 of the sales
made in the same way last year. How
ever, there were bright spots. The
New York retail store sold IS cars this
year while last year it sold only 90
All of these cars were for future de-
livery but every one of the sales was
bona fde sale. I believe that the
business is going to be better but as
said before, do not look for repe-
tition of last years business"

Facts in Regard to Gam

Before Judge.
HE STILL WANTS FACTS
Grand Jury for KenOsha Clean
up Is Now in Making and
May Come Soon.

Judge z. B. Belden is declared to
have secured some information of great
interest from Abraham Lepine, Chicago
lawyer, who is representing the insur-
ance companies in tfae Lang case. Lee
pine it is revealed is the man who
went to the Sheridan Road Inn and
! conferred with William Bubbles"
Bienemann in regard to his evidence
in the trial of Lang and with a view
of having Bienemann go into court
and tell further facts. Lepine adj
mitted this fact to the editor of the
.Kenosha Evening News. 1t is no
longer an open secret that Bienemann
was called before the court in execu-
tive on on Monday morning to tell
of the alleged offer made to him and
that later Lepine was also directed to
tell the court just what happened. It
is said that while Lepine admitted
that he had gone to Bienemann at the
Sheridan Road Inn, that the advances
made to him were of proper nature.
District Attorney Fisher said today
that the entire facts in the case were
in the hands of the court and that
he could make no further statement
in the matter.
BeIden Talks With Lawyer.
1T is declared that following the ex-
animation on Monday, Judge Belden
talked 9Th Attorney Lepine in regard
to just what was going on out at
Sheridan Road Inn and the information
which he secured coupled with the
facts secured in the raid at the place
gave the judge some very interesting
facts to consider in connection with
the grand jury decision. People who
have been closely following the inves-
| tigation of Judge Belden, declare that
he is getting pretty nearly ready to
act in the matter. 1t is said that the
judge is now very anxious to get in
formation in regard to gambling activi-
ties in Kenosha and Kenosha county
and that facts in regard to "big
games" going on in places and in re-
gard to other violations of the gamb-
ling laws will be welcomed by the
judge. The judge lets it be under
stood that he has not forgotten the
IHFSSIiSdklOH DelHB ndue III heHOSua.
A vast amount of information is in
the hands of the court in regard to
the sale of liquor in the city and
county contrary to the law and this
has already been considered.
Coming Back in February.
Judge Belden will resume the hear
ing of the cases in the circuit court
here in February. The Lang case is
scheduled to come up again on Febru-
airy 18th and the long list Of candi-
dates for second papers will be in for
hearing on February 22nd and it is
not improbable that one one of these
dates the judge will announce his de-
cision in regard to grand jury. At
the same time it is expected that,
should he call the grand jury, he will
announce the appointment Of special
prosecutor to have charge of the work
of the body. 1t is just possible that
some interesting facts recently brought
out in regard to the Lang case will be
laid before the grand jury for inves-
tigation.

in the suit filed by Clara M. Ed
wards for damages sustained
when she drove her automobile

the defendants employees did 1t in
a careless and irregular manner,
causing the automobile to become
uncomfortable when she entered
the bridge and the wheels were
caught in the timbers where the
bridge was repaired, causing her
to go over the embankment about
30 feet. Their automoDlie was
damaged to the extent of $46S.36,
she alleges.
In the beginning, she sued fo1
$1968.73, but the district attorney
demurred to the complaint, stat
ing that she claimed injuries to
her automobile and personal in
juries in the same action which
was irregular. She therefore filed
a complaint for the damages to nei
car and got change of venue, TAX
ing the case to Yamhill county.
