that farmers are buying 80 per-
cent Of their food requirements. In
the opinion Of the department this
is too high a percentage. Farm
ers should produce at least 80 per
cent of the food they consume. The
four states of Kentucky, Tennessee
Albany and Mississippi led in the

BAKER
in REPRIMAND
Judge Censures Defense
Attorneys but Exempts
KenOshans.
ARE ''PLAYING HORSE"

Judge Robert Verne Baker of Keno
sha, who is associate counsel for the
defense in the trial of the four men
charged with the murder of Police Otfi-
Ger William Petersen and who are now
on trial in the circuit court in Wau-
kegan, was in the limelight in the
trial there when Judge Claire G.. Ed
wards, who is hearing the trials, al
though he censured other attorneys
for the defense for "stalling," praised
Attorney Baker for his conduct of the
case thus far. The judge chafed at the
endless delays which have come in the
selection of jurors and the end of his
patience came late Saturday when only
four jurors had been secured.
States Attorney Smith arose to OBJ
ject to the sparring tactics adopted by
Attorney Anton Zeman in examining a
tentative juror and asked that the jury
be sent from the room that the attor-
ney might be warned again. Mr.. Ze-
man took exception to the remark.
4 am Of the same opinion. as the
states attorney" the court said, "and
while | will not send the jury out now,
will do so if this sort Of Questioning
continues in order that may tell the
attorneys what think Of their actions.
| don't propose to stay here much long
er and be played horse with. If neces-
sary will examine the jury myself"
"Does the court include me in his
remarks ?" Attorney D. j. Bentall Of
counsel for the defense inquired.
81 certainly do the court replied.
"Then on behalf of myself and nv
clients I wish to take exception to the
remarks of the court" the attorney
declared.
Judge Edwards added that he wished
it understood that his remarks did not
include Attorney Robert " Baker, an
other attorney for the defense.
Following the reprimand the work OF
picking the jury was expedited and at
late hour Saturday eight jurors had
been secured It was anticipated that
the other four jurors might be secured
today and that the state would start
early to present its case.
From the line Of questioning pro-
pounded to prospective jurors by at
torneys for the defense it appears that
the defense of the alleged slayers will
be that they We're under the influence
of liquor when the fatal shot was fired
and that consequently they were not
able to form an intent to commit
murder.

kenOSha kIWanIanS Join in Nation
wide Movement to Celebrate An
glo-American Peace.
The Kenosha Kiwanis Club, acting
in unison with the Kiwanis clubs of
the United States and Canada has set
aside the week of April 2-8 to cele-
brate the century of friendship which
has united in indissoluble bonds, the
two great English-speaking nations of
the North American continent. In
every city in both countries in which
there is Kiwanis club, dinners,
speeches and public professions will
take place to remind the people that
although North America is divided by
boundary line running from Puget
Sound to the Bay of Fundy, the inter
ests of its people are one and their
achievement in turning vast wilder
ness into thriving states, provinces and
cities is a united glory to both ma
tons.
In this age of bitter sectional hat
red, such celebration is worthy the
attention of the entire world because
of the eternal truth that two rich
and powerful nations may live side by
side for hundred years in perfect
peace and friendship.

WANTED TO SUE
LOCAL ATTORNEY
Wanatka Asked Stewart
to Start Suit Against
District Attorney.
TO FORGET


Emil Wanatka, who was dismissed in
the municipal court here last Saturday
following a preliminary hearing on the
charge of murder, consulted Attorney
Calvin Stewart in Kenosha Thursday
afternoon for the purpose of seeing
whether or not he could bring suit
against District Attorney Frank S.
Symmonds for false Imprisonment and
arrest, it was learned today. Wanatka
who pleaded guilty in the federal court
at Chicago yesterday before Judge Car
penter, has left for the Wheaton, ILL.,,
county jail where he has been SEN
fenced to. Imprisonment for one year.
Case Here Cost Him $500.
"Wanatka did ask my advice Thurs
day with reference to bringing suit
against the district attorney said Mr..
Stewart today, "and l advised him to
drop the mstter ana forget about it.
He thought that he could recover for
false arrest and Imprisonment. At the
same time he told me that he intended
pleading guilty in the federal court in
Chicago to the charge against him
there"
Wanatka told friends here that the
case in Kenosha had cost him $1,000
and that he feared beside that it had
done him damage for lifetime.
Can't Show Unblemished Record.
II told Wanatka that the prosecutor
has great deal of latitude in causing
the arrest and trial of persons whom
he believes guilty, and as Wanatka was
determined to plead guilty to the Dyer
act charge in Chicago, I pointed out
that he would be unable to come into
court here with an unblemished char
acter, which is one of The things neces-
sary in sueing for damages on the
grounds of injury for defamation of
character. Anyhow, I could not repre-
sent any man in suit against Ke-
nosha attorney. We are all brothers
of the cloth, no matter how we may
fight when we get into court"

RICHARD ON STAND
IN OWN DEFENSE
Rex Beach Also Takes Stand and Testi-
fies that Richard Was a
Square Gambler.
lBy Associated Press LEASED Wire.l

BY Associated Press Leased Wire
New York City - Tex Richard took
the stand in his own defense today in
his trnal on charges Of criminal as
sault against 15-year-old school girl.
Richard began his testimony by tell
ing of his past experiences as Texas
cattle driver and as participant in
the Alaska and Nevada gold rushes. He
admitted he had operated gambling
houses in several places but asserted
that one of his strictest rules in every
place he owned was that unescorted
women should not be permitted to
enter.
He declared he had never employed
women in gambling houses and did not
believe they were necessary even dur
ing the rather wild days in Alaska.
Mrs. Richard today took the stand
in defense of her husband, and testi-
fled that the sport promoter was at
home from about to p. m. on No
vember II, the night the assault was
alleged to have been made in West
witnesses previously had testified that
Richard met the girl, Sarah Schoen-
field, at 1880.
Rex Beach testified that Tex Rick
ard was known in Alaska as being on
the square.
The novelist was called as a char
acter witness by lawyers defending
Richard.
Beach said that he had known Rick
ard for "a years and that they had
driven pixies together during the
Klindyke gold rush. Later Richard
ran gambling house in Alaska in
which the novelist sadi he never had
heard of anything crooked happening.
Asked some hypothetical questions
on whether he thought gambling hon.
orable, Beach said that at that time
gambling in the far north was not
against the law and whether the bust
ness was honorable depended on
whether it was run on the level.
The next character witness was Char
les E. Heron, publisher of the An
chorage (Alaska) Daily Times.
He said Richard had good reputa-
ton in the northland. AS to the
ethics of gambling, the witness said
he now abhorred it but that when the
gold rush was on every one did it
and no one thought anything about
it.
The symposium on gambling was
continued when Major A. J. Drexel-
Biddle of Philadelphia, for ID years
leader in the Bible class movement,
testified he knew nothing against
Richards character.
After he said he had met the pro-
moter in Toledo on the day of the
Dempsey Willard fight, he was asked
what he thought of gambling, he re-
piled:
81 consider the 4 man who ran a
gambling house the days of the
gold rush may ha seen an honorable
man."
Asked if he taught gambling in his
Bible classes, he answered.
"I have never made gambling the
thesis of an argument"
