and Roy Hollingsworth, who attempt
ed to secure SCOTS release Sunday

ishment he received at the hands of
the vigilantes, confessed he had stolen
a car owned by DIR. w. E. Smith of

worth admitted he was SCOTS assist
ant and was allowed freedom after
the whipping upon his promise to
leave Collinsville and remain away.
Warning has been served on others

Wisconsin Offers Free Scholarship
Open to All Students of any Grade

A unique experiment in scholarships
designed to meet the needs of the stu
dent who has exceptional capacity in a
special field but who may be deficient
in other fields, has just been under
taken by the University of Wisconsin.
The announcement of the scholarship
offer will be good news to many Keno
sha students or ex-students who find
that circumstances force them to neg
lect the continuation of their high
school studies. Whether there are any
such students in Kenosha who are eli
gible to consideration for the scholar
ship remains to be seen. The scholar
ship was established by the New York
City branch Of the alumni association
of the University of Wisconsin. The
scholarship carries with it a cash value
of $500 and will be known as the "Zona
Gale Scholarship" named in honor of
dlsting uished graduate of the uniyer-
sity It is to be awarded to a student
who has shown that he possesses spe-,
cial talent of an unusually high order
and who wished to spend all his time
in the university in pursuing courses
which he thinks will develop his spe-
cial talent, without being required to
complete studies in which he has little
or no interest. The holder of the schol-
arship will not be required to satisfy
the regular entrance requirements if
he is deficient therein.
To obtain this scholarship, student
need not have completed the usual high
school course of study, provided that
he has given adequate proof, first, of
the possession of exceptional talent in
a particular field, and second, that he
can perfect his talent by spending
period at, the university in the pursuit
of studies of his own choosing. Such
student will not be a candidate for
university degree, which always repre-
sents the completion of certain pre-
scribed studies. A committee of the
university faculty will administer this
scholarship and the members Of thu
committee will keep a sympathetic eve
on the student and note whether he is
deriving benefit from his residence IN
the university. So long as he is max
ing progress in the development of his
special talents he will be given com

GOING OVER THE TOP

Pictures showing how their son,
Private Delmar C. Webb, went over the
top in the series of engagements in
which he was killed in battle, are the
priced possessions of Mr.. and Mrs. J..
w. Webb, GIT Newell street, according
to information made public on Saturday
afternoon in connection with the burial
of the remains of the hero in the fam

The hero's body was buried on the bat

on Saturday and taps were sounded as

Green Ridge.
eyes, we know exactly how our son
met his DEATH" explained Mr.. Webb,
the father of the dead soldier. To
illustrate his account, he brought out
an authorized army photograph taken
of the American soldiers as they were
creeping over the top at Badonviller,
France. The photograph contained the
pictures of only two Americans, one of
the soldiers which was brought back to
Kenosha last week. Clad in his fight
ing outfit, he was creeping into No
Mans Land, bayonet fixed to charge
the enemy.
Mr.. Webb explained that the picture
was carried in Des Moines papers,
where he discovered it before he ever
knew that his son had been sent into
the trenches. Months later, he received
the death notices from the army Off
Gals. Letters to the government con-
firmed his belief that it was really a
photograph of his son, as the report
showed that the pictures were taken of
Company D of the Fighting Third
Iowans, 168th Infantry, the unit to
which Private Webb was assigned. The
picture was presented to the parents
by the government, the army officials
highly complimenting them on the
bravery which their son displayed.
Died Facing the Foe.
"Later, we learned the details of his
DEATH" said Mr.. Webb. ellis sergeant,
Tommy Bills, who came back alive, was
with him at the time and he told US
all about it. Together they were adj

the guards who stood watch over the
remains and all who aided in paying
tribute to the soldiers memory

received were that Solana and White

had not been touched by the flames
this morning though there were fires
on nearly all sides.
At Arthyde, further north, threaten

There has been no loss of life so

Cork.-The red flag was floating from
the offices of the Harbor Board at noon
today following action of representa-
tives of the transport workers union
in taking possession after the board
had refused them a minimum wage of
70 shillings week. Sensational de-
velopments are expected. The trans
port men propose to run the business
themselves and pay the wage demanded
but are encountering difficulty since
the books and records are locked in
the safes.
Sir James Long, secretary of the
Harbor Board, declined as a public
servant, to surrender the Offices, but
the transport workers insisted and he
departed. A majority of the members
of the board are republicans, as is the
strike leader, but the Irish republican
cabinets labor ministry has been un-
able to effect a settlement.
The residents of Cork believe the
Irish republican army may intervene.
Meantime the interests of the port are
seriously affected.
Belfast Unionists employed by a
large concern near the scene of the
recent rioting in this city, held meet
ing last night and were given arms
with which to protect themselves if at

use them for reaching and leaving

GOLF CHAMPION
In AUTO MIXUJP
Gordon GuiIbert Arrested
in Racine After Coli
sion Between Cars.
LIQUOR CHARGE DENIED

Sensational stories in regard to the
arrest of Gordon "Ted" Guilbert of
Racine, state golf champion, widely
known in Kenosha, in Racine on SAT-
urday evening, failed to have confrna-
ton on the part of either Sheriff
James of Racine county or the police
department of Racine. The stories
sent out to Milwaukee papers alleged
that Guilbert had been arrested as a
result of a deputy sheriff finding two
bottles of gin in the Guilbert car after
it had collided with an automobile
owned by A. C. Knudson of Racine.
Sheriff James of Racine called the
story sent out to the papers bunk"
and said that Gnilbert had been ar
rested by the police of Racine follow
ing the automobile accident. The Ra-
cine police officers. declared that there
was no charge against Guilbert in the
department and that he had been held
to insure the payment of the damages
claimed by Knudson following the col
lision. "The story sent out to the
Milwaukee papers is largely bunk"
was the way the Racine police officers
put it.
Collision Starts Trouble.
The trouble all came over an auto
mobile accident which occurred at the
corner of Hamilton avenue and North
Main street in Racine just after eleven
o'clock Saturday evening Lucien
Lance of Kenosha was in the auto
mobile with Guilbert and they had
been driving about Racine. The Knud-
son car was damaged in the collision
and it was alleged that Guilbert drive
away without discussing the question
of damages. The police officer and
a deputy sheriff gave chase to the Gull
bert, car and it was overtaken as it
turned the corner of the road near the
Horlick Dam. Guilbert said that he
did not know that the Knudson car
had been seriously damaged and later
he agreed to pay the claim of Knudson.

CROWDED ROADS
CAUSE ACCIDENTS
Many Motor Car Accidents
Mark Passage of Labor
Day Holiday.
FOUR MEET INJURIES
Chicago People Seriously Hurt
in Labor Day Jam on Sheri-
day Road South of City.

People flitted with death on the
crowded roads of Kenosha county dur
ing the double weekend holiday and
a score of accidents of more or less
serious nature were reported. Four
people were severely injured as a re-
suit of the accidents and roads leading
into the city were strewn with the
wreckage Of automobiles Saturday,
Sunday and Monday evenings. Fortu-
nately no one met with fatal injuries.
The most serious accident took place
on the Sheridan road near the Sim
mons playground just after five o'clock
Monday afternoon when an automobile
driven by Michael E. Flynn collided
with one driven by L. F. Lincoln of
Chicago. In the automobile with Mr..
Flynn were Miss Catherine Flynn of
Kenosha, Mrs. M. A. Finneron and her
son, Roy Finneron of Chicago Mrs.
Lincoln was in the car with Mr.. Lin
coin. Mr. Flynn was driving his car
north and the Lincoln car was being
driven south. Near the ball park Law
renee Jorendt was backing a car out
into the road and the three automo-
biles came into mixup.
Mr.. Flynn was driving very slowly
but he saw that an accident was GER
tain and he turned his car to the ditch
to avoid it. Lincoln also driving slow
ly sought to avoid the accident but in
the narrow space the two cars came
together and both went into the ditch.
Mrs. Finneron and her son were both
badly cut and bruised. They were
brought to Kenosha and surgeons car
ed for them and later they went to
their home in Chicago. Mrs. Lincoln
was only slightly scratch in the acct
dent.
One Driver Got Away.
Two hours later on the same road
similar collision occurred when cars
driven by Max Rosenfeld, Chicago; T.
b. Francey, Milwaukee; and N. X.
Thompson of Elkhorn were jammed
together. The Rosenfeld and Francey
cars were both badly damaged and two
of the occupants of the Rosenfeld car,
man and baby, were bruised and
cut by flying glass. They were able to
return to Chicago later. Thompson
who was declared to have been respon-
sible for the accident, drove away and
efforts were being made to locate him
today.
On the Milwaukee road on Saturday
night cars driven by Earl Monohan
and Ted Vogel collided. Vogel, who
resided in Milwaukee, was cut and
bruised and both of the cars were
more or less wrecked. Just about the
same time there was a collision be-
tween two Racine cars on the Lake
Shore road north of Kenosha and the
cars were wrecked but no one Injured.
The owners of the cars settled their
difficulty without an appeal to the
sheriff's force.
Motorcycle Rider Badly Hurt.

urday was collision between an au-
tomobile driven by A. Land of Chi
cago and motorcycle ridden by Les
