in the prohibition column, but he did
not urge this request. Mr.. SymmondS
said that ne wanted this information
to be used in preparing "bill of par.
ticularse should an appeal be made.
He held that a proper counting of
these ballots would show Frank S.
Symmonds and not Morris Barnett
elected to the Office of district attor-
ney Of Kenosha county"
Would Hold Up Decision.
Mr.. Symmonds urged that this be
done before the final decision in the
case was handed down. Judge Be1den
declined to take this action. He held
that he he'd examined the ballots with
Mr.. WEIGH and that he had heard the
argument Of both the candidates in
company with Mr.. Welch and that they
had been in full agreement that these
ballots could not be held valid ballots
and that for this reason they could
not be further considered in any con-
test of the election.
Mr.. Symmonds said that he wanted
to take up the argument again en-
forced by counsel" but the court indi-
Gated that further argument of the
case could hardly be expected to make
any change in the decision. Judge
BOldsn closed this part of the argu-
ment when he said:
81 don't know how many of these
ballots may have been cast for Bar
nett or for Symmends but have ex-
amined all of them and I am present
Iy Of the opinion that baIiots not prop
erly authenticated must be rejected"
Clerk to Keep Ballots.
The judgs issued an ordar on the
motion Of Mr.. Symmonds holding that
the ballots be held in the custody of
the clerk of the circuit court for
period of SO days and it was agreed
that Mr.. Symmonds~ would have the
chance to examine certain afYidavits
Of voter which are not part Of the
sealed records provided the inveatiga-
tien is made in the presence of the
clerk of the court.
Syfnmonds kept right on sighting up
to the final decision of the court. Just
before the court handed down it's
formal order he made motion de-
manding that the findings Of facts and
the conclusions Of law as made by the
referee be set aside as contrary to the
law and the evidence.
His final motion asked that the court
recall the certificate Of election which
had been issued to Marris Barnett by
the county canvassing board and that
8 certificate be issued showing that
Frank S. Symmonds had been elected
to the office.
Judge Says Satisfied"
In response to these two final mo-
| tions Judge Belden retorted:
81 am satisfied with the report of
the referee and l feel that It is useless
waste of time to go over all this mat
ter again. / do not believe that there
| is need of further argument on the
question to reach proper decision"
The formal denial of all of the mo-
tons made by Mr.. Symmonds followed
and the order was issued.

STREETS MAY Be
DOUBLE DECKED
Chevrolet Sales Manager
Sees Day of Double
Deck Streets.
STARTED IN CITIES

"Double-deck streets and highways
are coming" says Colin Campbell.
general sales manager, Chevrolet Motor
Company.
while it is becoming increasingly
evident that the only saturation point
of the automobile industry is the ca
pacity of the highways, we have al
ready reached capacity in various city
streets and some highways near large
cities.
at is inconceivable that such space
limitations will be permitted to stop
the universal adoption of the most eco
nomical, efficient means for transporta-
ton of goods and people ever devised
Civilization is directly dependent
on transportation facilities, and no
man should be denied the right to avail
himself of the best of such facilities.
yet that is what we are coming to rap
idly.
ALREADY large cities have estab-
hshed one-way traffic, and assigned
special streets for commercial vehicles
"The double-deck street Is in use
right now in the approaches to the
Grand Central Terminal in New York
also automobile subway for taxicabs.
There is an automobile subway in
the approach to Belle Isle in Detroit.
"City engineers think there is moth
ing exceptional in building elevated
tracks, subways and tunnels for rail
roads. The railroads carry less pas
sengers than do automobiles, and ele.
waited and subway roads for motor traf-
fic seem even more logical.
"The engineer who designed the new
Hudson River bridge provided a broad
automobile level, wide enough for six
teen cars abreast.
Municipal engineers should realize
that in large cities the increase per
month in the number of automobiles in
use will soon compel, first, general
system of one-way streets; second
special double-deck streets.
"The time to meet this situation is
now, because. while extra streets are
being built, the increased registration
n Detroit, for instance, is about 1000
cars per month, allowing for replace
ment of old cars"

CLAMP LID ON
ONE BUS LINE
Illinois Board Refuses Per-
nit to Lake Shore Trans
pOrtation Co.
NORTH SHORE GRANTED

Refusing the application of one
company to operate bus line between
Waukegan and Kenosha and granting
the application of another, the Illinois
Commerce Commission has spoken in
the motor bus war which has been
going on between the companies in
question for several months. Notifica-
ton reached Kenosha this morning
that the Chicago, North Shore and
Milwaukee Electric Railway company
had been granted permit to operate
bus line between Waukegan, Zion
and Winthrop Harbor to the state
line, with an idea that it would be
extended to Kenosha.
A similar application made by the
Lake Shore Transportation company,
Of Kenosha, now operating bus line
between Racine and Kenosha, was
denied.
AS Feeder to Railway.
1t was shown by the North Shore
line that it already operated a fast
electric train service between Chicago
and Milwaukee and that it desired an
extension of its bus line from Wau-
kegan to Kenosha in order that pas
sengers may better be carried to and
from their stations and that thus
the bus line would act as a feeder
for its trains.
The financial backing of the railroad
company, making it amply able to
stand behind any accident or claim
that might be made against 1t as a
result of accident or injury to any
of it's patrons or to traffic along the
highway and the fact that it is liable
to maintain a service for a lengthy
period when once started, won the
North Shore Railroad company it's
franchise to operate between the
| Observation-Disclosures state line and Wau-
kegan.
Line Now in Operation.
The North Shore bus line is now in
operation. The jurisdiction of the
Illinois Commerce Commission extends
only TO the state line and for that rea-
son similar permit has been secured
from the Wisconsin commission to
operate the Wisconsin end of the line.
The company is also operating a bus
line between Kenosha> and Lake Gene
va. It's plans include the adding of
several more of the large green buses
to the two lines early in the spring.
/ 1t is not anticipated that the Lake
Shore company will halt Immediately
its attempt to secure a permit. Of
] fcials of the company are expected to
renew their application claiming that
discrimination has been shown

REPORT OF REFEREE.

This appeal came on to be heard
before the referee herein, pursuit to
the order of reference, on the 4th day
of December 1892, Frank s. Symmonds
appearing in his own behalf and Nor
ris Barnett in person and by Calvin
Stewart, his attorney, specially object
ing to the proceedings as set forth
in the proceedings returned herewith
under separate cover marked Eek
hibit A."
At said proceedings there was pro
duced before the referee, in sealed
sacks, all of the ballots cast by the
electors Of Kenosha county at the No
vember, 1922, general election for
state and county officers. These sacks
we're opened BY the referee and each
and every ore of said ballots examin-
ed by the referee in the presence of
the appellant and either the respon-
dent or some one representing him.
The unquestioned ballots were counted
for the respective candidates for dis
trict attorney, the blanks were count
ed, and any questioned ballots were
counted and segregated, the unques-
toned ballots being returned to their
original sacks and sealed.
Outcome of Recount.
The count of said unqusstioned bal
lots resulted as follows: Barnett,
AIT; Symmonds, 1895; blanks, SIS;
there we're 1877 questioned votes; the
total number of votes counted, 1854.
After argument By the respective
parties or their counsel on the law
governing the determination to be
made on the questioned ballots, the
referee again examined said question
ed ballots and made his determination
thereon. In making such determine
tion the referee was governed by the
following statutes:
Cites the Statutes.
"Section 6.3e. Ballot clerks
shall only serve on election day.
1t shall be their duty to take
charge of the official ballots, write
their names or initials upon the
back of each ballot under the
printed endorsement thereon x"
Section Sal. Any person who
shall knowingly deposit ballot
in the ballot box upon which bal
! lot the names or initials of the
ballot clerks do not appear, shall
be punished as provided in Sec
ton 4,6S5, and in the canvass of Z
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1922-12-21

the votes any ballot which is not
endorsed by the signatures or
autograph initials of such clerks
shall be void, not counted, and be
treated and preserved as defec-
tive ballot.
AZ to ballots by mail Section 1852
requires that mail ballots shall be
endorsed Sin like manner as other bal
lots are required to be endorsed"
Many Counted as Blanks.
Ballots not endorsed as above re-
CURED were counted as blanks by
the referee.
As to all other questioned ballots
where the intent of the voter could
not be determined by a careful ex-
animation Of the ballot it was counted
as a blank.
The count Of said 1877 questioned
ballots resulted as follows: Barnett
IL, Symmo1lds "a, blanks 101.

symmonds May Fight On.

1t was not indicated that the final
hearing in the case in Kenosha county
would be the end of it, as Mr.. Sym
monds indicated by motions and ar
guments made to the court this morn
ing that he would continue the fight
in higher court, but the final order
of the court today paved the way for
Mr.. Barnett to take over the office on
the first of January. Mr.. Symmonds
indicated that his appeal will be
against the decision Of the referee and
the court in regard to the ballots
which failed to contain the initials of
the ballot clerks. 1t was Mr.. SYM
monds himself who raised the ques-
ton as to whether the ballots were
properly initiated and it is admitted
that he lost many votes as a result
of the decision of the referee and the
court that these ballots must be held
as invalid" Symmonds in his argu-
ment claimed that if all of these bal
lots were counted that the votes for
him would wipe out the majority which
the referees report had showed for
Barnett. Both the court and the
referee held that these ballots could
not be counted. The two officials
were also agreed that it was impossi-
BILE to count any votes which had been
marked in the prohibition column.
''It is apparent to the court after a
careful examination of the law" said
Judge Belden, "that ballots to be
counted for any candidate must have
the cross or mark within the space
set aside for the candidates name and
to the right of the name" This deci-
sion meant that all ballots where the
cross had been made in the prohibi-
tion column were to be counted as
blank as far as the office of district
attorney is concerned.
Many Motions Made.
With the presentation of the report
of the referee, Attorney Calvin Stew
art, who appeared for Mr.. Barnett, at
once made a motion that the report Of
the referee be confirmed and a formal
order issued by the court The max
ing Of this motion Embossed a flood
gate which held motions galore Of
fered by Mr.. Symmonds.
He entered into the records of the
case a series of objections He held
that the findings of fact and the con-
illusions of law were incomplete and
not in keeping with the law and the
evidence. He asked first of all that
fhe referee be directed by the court
to segregate all ballots which had not
been initiated by both ballot clerks
and that he be given a copy of these
ballots. He demanded that the find
ings of the referee be amended to
SHOW just what proportion of these
ballots had been cast for Frank s
Symmonds and the proportion cast for
Morris Barnett. He suggested that he
would like similar determination in
the findings in regard to the ballots
which had been marked with cross

Warsaw.-Tbere have been continu-

between the rival factions and the po-
lice resulting in four deaths and the
injury of more than 100 persons.
The opposition to the choice of NJ.

MORE STATE AID
FOR MOTHERS
State B card Would Have
Closer Supervision Of
Mothers Pensions.
VAST SUM Is PAID

More adequate state aid and supervi-
sion of mothers pensions, now admin
istered by counties, are needed to make
the dependent ehildren's law more GER
orally effective, the state board of con-
troll concludes in report on the laws
operation today.
Pensions amounting to $500, s48.S1
were paid to S,248 families, with $3.50
children aided, representing an ir-
crease of $4,000 over the previous
year, and of $6s3,o00 since the law
was enacted in 1908.
ut would SEEM" the beard said,
that further amendment to the aid
to dependent ehildren's law is desir-
able in that more adequate forms of
state aid and supervision are needed,
not necessarily regulation, but assist
ance so that these counties which are
not so fortunate as to possess trained
workers to assist the courts, might
receive the benefits of centralized
and standardized system of supervi-
sion and budget making in so far as
the fundamentals are concerned.
FOR constructive WOrk.
Constructive work, which is 50 nee
essaTy in many cases cannot be done
without adequate aid and proper SUI
pervisory care. Adequate relief can
not be determined with any degree of
certainty unless budget system is
used, in which careful consideration
has been given to the fundamental re-
auirements of a minimum standard of
living.
With a budget system, as a guide in
determining what the pension ought
to be, the actual income may be placed
alongside Nthe minimum requirements,
and an amount granted that would in
sure the family wholesome stand
ard of living.
"This being done, proper supervi-
sion should follow to- the end that the
courts may be assured that the public
funds are being wisely spent and that
the mother is receiving all the posi-
BILE assistance in caring for and edu-
eating her children"
Changes in the pension law to pro-
vide the supervision recommended by
the board of control will probably be
urged upon the legislature when it
conyenes.
