were very low when averaged and the

was but $1O8.oO. The average. of the
fines collected in the state for the
same year was .$181. "A, In 1920 the
average fines. collected in Kenosha
county were $3.50. g,1,,

showed the collection Of fines totaling
$283,636.65. The total number of con-
victions secured was 1914. In the year

SHOWS ADVANCE
Amount Of Fines Collected
in County Shows Big In
crease in 1921.
FAR DOWN THE LINE
Average Fine Assessed in This
County Last Year Far
Below State Average.

Courts of Kenosha county collected
fines of $4,225 from defendants charged
with the violation of the prohibition
laws during the year 1921, according
to the report of W. Stanley Smith,
state prohibition commissioner, which
was made public this afternoon. This
is compared with fines of 1850 as
collected in Kenosha county during the
year 1920. The figures for the first
six months Of 1922 will show very
large increase over the total figures
for the year 1921 ON account of the
large amount of fines assessed in CON
nection with the grand jury indict-
ments in Kenosha county.
The total fines for the first six
months of 1922 will exceed $4,000 and
many cases are now pending in the
courts of the county and more than
fifty cases are ready to be started in
the courts in which evidence of the
violations of the law is now in the
hands of the officials. 1t is expected
that a general cleanup of these cases
will be inaugurated within the next
few days.
Many Prosecutions Here.
The report shows that there were 80
prosecutions for violations of the Ii
quor laws in Kenosha county during
the year 1921 in which the defendants
were fined. In the year 1920 but II
successful prosecutions were made.
The report shows that Kenosha
county is the ninth county in the state
in the amount of fines collected in 1921
for violations of the prohibition laws.
In 1920 it was ranked as the eighth
county when the comparison of the
activity of the prohibition enforcement
officials was made. Here are some of

TURNED TURTLE
Pilot Eversole Narrowly
Escapes Injury When
Plane Turns Over.
ACCIDENT in STARTING

Kenosha was almost the scene of a
serious airplane accident on Sunday
afternoon just after two o'clock when
the large commercial plane, operated
by Pilots Michael Eversole and Harri-
son Beach, of Chicago, who have been
taking airplane photos of Kenosha, hit
in sinkhole while starting at the
flying field on North Rowland avenue.
Fortunately no one was injured. One
of the wings of the machine was bad
ly damaged and the Chicagoas will be
forced to stay here for several days
until the plane can be repaired
The flyers had completed their work
in Kenosha and were preparing to hop
off for the return trip to Chicago.
Pilot Eversole was in charge of the
car, his partner having gone by other
ways to Chicago.
No One in, Plane.
Eversole, with no one in the plane,
had gone to the front Of it to crank
the engine and start the propelIers.
He had just got the engine started and
had stepped aside when the plane
started to move on its own power.
He did not have time to jump into the
cockpit and the plane, driverless,
bumped its way across the flying field
for several hundred yards. At no time
did it leave the ground and the pilots
declared that it would have been i'm
possible for it to take to the air with
out some guidance.
The pilotless plane finally hit in a
sinkhole at one end of the field and
turned completely over, crushing one
