Morris Phillips, 541 Middle street

Sunday evening in Racine. The WON
an is now in the ST. Mary's hospital in

accident.
1t is declared that Phillips was driv-
ing slowly on Main street in Racine
when the mishap occurred. The WON
an in attempting to miss another car
darted directly in its path. The fact
that Phillips was driving very slowly
accounts for her escape from more

DIES In SPAIN

Chicago, Ill.-John Granville Wooley
who died yesterday in Granada, Spain,
after an illness of several weeks, gain
ed his first prominence as an advo-
cate of prohibition when a resident
of Illinois. He took up the practice
of law at Paris following his gradua-
ton from Ohio Wesleyan University

Farm Bureau Plans
Joint County Picnic
Township Chairmen Meet on Tuesday
to Decide on Definite Plans
for Get-TOgether.

Township chairmen of the Kenosha
County Farm Bureau, met Tuesday,
August 8, at the home Of Carl Iverson,
president of the organization. The
purpose of the meeting was to lay out
plans for big county picnic and dis
cuss plans for increasing the member
ship in the county.
P. J. Crandall of the National and
State Farm Bureau, addressed the
meeting and presented plans for whip
ping the local bureau into a live wire
organization such as are found in
other parts of the country.
The new milk contract covering CO.
operative selling of milk in the Chi
cago district, which has been recently
presented to producers here and which
is sponsored by the National Farm
Bureau, was thoroughly discussed.
After the discussion a resolution was
passed by the township leaders approx
ing the new contract and urging the
dairymen to get in line and sign up.
1t was reported that the work of
signing the new contracts was pro
crossing favorably, and that if the
producers continue to sign as they are
at the present time, 10000 will have
their names on the dotted line by Sep
TENDER 1. This number will assure the
success Of the movement, as 5000 sign
ers was the number which had previ-
ously been agreed on as sufficient to
put the contract on a successful work
ing basis.

papers for each of the said candidates.
Nowhere in this petition is there any
attempt made to give the number of
signers of each candidate, or the fact,
If such it be that any candidate had
rendered signers either at the proper
time of filing or at any other time.
Neither have the said petitioners CIV
en- sufficient and legal reasons why
they have not filed their papers; neith-
er does said petition set out the offer
or tender on the part of any of the
candidates of filing any additional sig
natures if any had heretofore been
filed, in order to make up the def
cheney, or that any candidate ever had
other signatures to file, if they had
any to file.
To sum up, there is no information
contained in the said amended petition
which apprises the court of facts on
which he can base any right on the
part of petitioners for an alternative
writ, The petition lacks the essential
elements necessary for the court to
determine whether the said county
clerk is violating or has violated any
duty on his part to be performed. The
most that can be said on the part of
petitioners is stated in paragraph one
where it says:
"And that it is incumbent upon
him (meaning county clerk to
place the name of your petitioners
upon the ballot, but said county
clerk refuses so to do"
The first part of this quotation does
not state facts but merely an infer
ence and is lacking in the essential
facts necessary for this court to de-
termine whether or not it is incumb-
ent upon the county clerk to place the
names of the petitioners upon the bal
lot. In other words, the petitions draw
the conclusion which only this court
could draw in case the proper pleading
on the facts and as has been seen in
the citation previously quoted the pc
tltion must show that the performance
of the duty of the county clerk plainly
rests on him and that he had authority
and power to perform the act sought
to be enforced. Facts must be plead
ed to show clear right to have the
names of the petitioners placed on the
ballot by the county clerk"

Conrad Bauer, Captured
After Running Chase,
COnfesses.
COMPANIONS ESCAPE
Pals who Helped Him Break
into Garfield House Sunday
Morning Escape.

Knocking over a fatiron proved the
undoing of Conrad Bauer, 129 Third
street, aged % years, who early Sun
day morning went out housebreaking
and ended up in the custody of the
police officials, to whom he has now
confessed that he attempted to burg
larize the Garfield House. He was
captured after running chase with
four police officers which was featur-
ed by revolver shot which finally
brought Bauer to a halt
Two companions who went with him
on the housebreaking expedition, es-
capped from the police but a search is
being made for them and it is anti
cipated that they will be taken into
custody later in the day.
Three Shots Halt Burglar
Just after two o'clock Sunday morn
ing Officer Vanderwall, was notified
that several men were seen prowling
around the Garfield House. He and
Patrolman Pecan were sent to inves-
tigate; meanwhile a second call to the
police Office from neighbors declared
that some one was in the kitchen of
the Garfield House with a fashlight.
Joined by Patrolman Hannaway and
Chase, the other policemen went to
the Garfield House, where they found
Bauer running away from them.
Three shots were fired before the
man halted.
Frightened he went quietly with the
police officers and at the station con-
fessed that he had entered the house
with intent to burglarize it but had
been frightened away when he knock
ed over iatiron in the kitchen. He
declared that he had been accompanied
by two other Kenoshans who escaped
from the police. They had all been
drinking earlier in the evening and
Bauer blames his perdicament to this.
Bauer in his confession to the police
declared that he had made two at
tempts to enter the Garfield House.
About one o'clock Sunday morning he
tried to get in a rear bedroom window
but became frightened when he saw
woman and child sleeping in the room.
An hour later he returned and made
his entrance by breaking into a kitchen
window. This time he was frightened
away when he knocked over a fiatiron
after getting into the room.
Neighbors declare that two men en-
tered the room and were seen there
proving about for several minutes.
Bauer made no explanation as to what
he had expected to do within the Gar
field House. He maintains that it is
his first attempt at burglary.
The police expected to arraign him
on the charge in the municipal court
later this afternoon. 1t is possible
that his arraignment may be post
poned until his companions are also
taken into custody.

BALZER AVOIDS
TALKING OF MURDER
Says Brother and Sister We're Slain
by Bandits But Gives No
Further Facts.

Sank City, William Balzer
talked today about the murder in
which julius and Mary Balzer were
killed last Tuesday night, and he suf-
fered fractured skull, but in his
brief conversation with a detective
gave no clues that may lead to solu-
ton of the mysterious killing.
Either dazed or unwilling to tell
details of the crime, William merely
said that two bandits had slain his
brother and sister, and then repeated
in answer to the continued question:
"Who did it," that he did not know.
He appeared unwilling to discuss the
murder, although interested in dis
cussing neighborhood affairs.
Thorough search of the farm has
failed to reveal the hammer with which
the killing is supposed to have been
done. Neither has extended quizzing
resulted in any new information that
might lead to the identity of the
slayers.

New York.-An hour with Tony Sarg
is like an hour of Alice's Wonderland
like one precious hour snatched from a
childhood long since past.
When l called on him the other day
in his Greenwich Village workshop he
was hard at work, sleeves rolled up
drawing monkeys head on sheet of
paper.
Before him were several figures cut
out of black pasteboard. They were
finished puppets that supply the action
for his movie almanac.
In rear room there seemed to be
much merriment. Marionettes were
moving about on a miniature stage and
hidden voices were speaking their lines
A rehearsal was being held for 8
puppet show. The company had been
at work all day just as assiduously as
if they were to appear before the foot
lights.

ability to sense little situations and
experiences common to thousands.

figures, thus implying that all of our
pet little annoyances have gone on for
centuries.
"Thus the first of my new series of
movies are THE First Flivver,' THE
First Degree and The First Barber
Shop
"The first fiivver had stone wheels
and snakes for tires. When the snakes
ate they had uneven places in them.
Even bumps on the prehistoric roads
were blamed on tire troubles.
"'The First Degree will appeal to
everyone who has ever joined secret
order"
A common misrepresentation among
movie fans is that the figures in Sarg's
almanac move by means of strings in
the same manner as his marionettes.
Sarg showed me how they are manipu-
lated.
The jointed figures are placed on a
fiat board beneath a camera. Each
move is a separate photograph, the
arm, hand or leg being moved one-six-
teenth of that particular movement
for each photograph. That is, if you
see hand move from hip to head, you
see the result of 16 separate photo
graphs. at b
Using pasteboard puppets, Sarg is
enabled to have two or more figures
moving simultaneously, and each of
them moving several parts of it's body.
Sarg says to gain the same effect two
of his men gain in one day would re-
quire five years work on the part of
two men making an animated cartoon.
In an animated cartoon only one fig
ure moves at a time as general rule,
and then moves only one part of the
