Capacity to be Tripled in New
Model Factory, Work on
r Which is Started Now.

The Lafayette Motors corporation
of Indianapolis, will transfer its OPP
erations to Milwaukee. Wis, the latter
part of this year, according to an an
nouncement today by Chrles w. Nash,
president of the company, thereby ben
citing by a closer association with the
Nash group of industries of Kenosha
and Milwaukee, Of which it is fnan-
cially unit.
Land has been acquired adjacent to
the Milwaukee Nash factory and work
will start Immediately on a model
plan for the exclusive manufacture of
Lafayette cars. Mr.. Nash predicts that
the company will be housed and oper-
ating in the new factory by the first
Of the year.
"The- Lafayette has been greatly
handicapped for space in its present
plant at Mars Hill, Indianapolis" says
Mr.. Nash, "and this handicap will be-
come much more serious as the COM
pany's production increases, thus max
ing necessary an increased capacity
either here or elsewhere. In view of
these condition and the desirability of
a closer geographical coordination Of
all Nash activities it seemed logical
to the directors of our company TO
establish the Lafayette in new plant
in Milwaukee, even at the sacrifice of
the many advantages which have been
found in Indianapolis. The new Mil
waukee plant will triple the present

Stride With Growing Needs of City
Asks More PatrCmen

Energy and efficiency received its
recognition in police circles today when
Charles f. Rock was promoted from
the rank Of sergeant of detectives to
that the first lieutenant of police in
charge of the detective, squad The
promotion followed the endorsement of
the police and fire commission at its
regular meeting Friday night when
it acted upon the suggestion made by
Chief Logan and authorized him to
confer the lieutenancy upon the erst-
while detective sergeant. No one on
the police department is better known
than "Charley" Rock or more deserved
ly popular. He has a reputation for
putting despatch into his work and
for putting business before pleasure,
and for never doing mean thing to
his fellow-man.
If this last we're an epitaph there is
many man more favored by fortune
who might envy the detective SER

could sum up, life than these: "He

ADOPTED BABES
MAY LOSE NAMES
Court Decision Holds That
Natural Parents Con-
sent is Paramount.
FEW CASES HERE

All adoptions of children in Wiscon-
sin for the past 81 years, made without
the consent Of their natural pareNts,
are void as a result of recent SUI
preme court decision, R. M. Hoyt
deputy attorney general, ruled today in
an opinion to the state board of con-
troll. An examination of the records
of Kenosha county for the past few
years shows that few children in this
county will be affected by this ruling
For the most part children who have
been adopted by people in Kenosha
county have been adopted by court or
der following the consent Of the ma
tural parent or parents. In the last
ten years there has been possibly a
dozen adoptions recorded in which such
consent ives not secured.
II What the Court Held.
N The supreme court held, he advised
the boardl that its consent is not a
\ sufficient ssbasis for the adoption of
chill drehyltnless the consent of the ma
tural parents is secured. Children who
weres illegally adopted and are still
8under Is years of age must be re-
turned to the state public school if
theirgparents refuse to sanction their
adoption, the opinion states.
Illegally adopted children in the
state, Mr., Hoyt advised the board of
control =, fall into three classes. The
( first class consists of those over 81
years of age, who are no longer under
guardianship Of the board or anyone
else. No action is necessary in their
case. The second class is composed of
y those, who, are is years Of age but still
under guardianship of the board. They
h need no longer be kept in the state
public school 50 that there is no duty
to return them, but rather the board
n should either declare them capable Of
4 rnaking their own contracts and re.
turn them to their natural parents OF
a contract made with the adaptive par
ents or some other party for the re.
rnaihder of their minority.
Ckildren-un IS years of age must
be retained in the state public school
or a contract made with their adaptive
parents, or others of the remainder OF
their minority.

and, it is believed, to the satisfaction
of all those who are not or will not
be provided with their own cars to
take them to the picnic grounds.
Hire Special Buses.
The Lake Shore TRANSPORTATION CON-
pany has been chartered to serve the
merchants and clerks with hourly bus
service lasting until midnight when
the last bus will leave Paddock's
Lake for home.
An innovation in athletic events is
promised by the picnic committee this
year and it is promised that the list
of prizes and awards for the various
events will be better and more valu-
able than ever before in the history
of the organization.
Musical entertainment for the after
noon is now being arranged for by the
picnic committee and one of two prop
ositions are being looked up. The
first calls for radio concert in the
pavilion, and should the conditions
permit, music will be received from
Milwaukee for dancing. The other
proposition calls for concert band.
More definite details of the days pro-
gram will be announced later.

MRS. CLIFFORD
| DEXTER DEAD
Misses Rose and Sarah
Ward Plunged in Grief
by Message.
THIRD IN SIX MONTHS


Two sisters, Miss Rose and Miss
Sarah Ward of 1922 Wisconsin street,
were plunged into overwhelming grief
this morning when word came from
Huron, S, D. of the death there of their
sister, Mrs. j., c. Dexter, formerly
Miss Kitty Ward of Kenosha. It Is
the third death in the Ward family
within six months, and came as an adj
ditional shock because the sister in
South Dakota was believed to be in the
best of health. How she came-to her
sudden end was not conveyed in the
brief tragis missive which announced
the death.
Rose Ward Overcome.
Miss Rose Ward, who is an assistant
in Korf's store on Main street, was
chatting gaily with some friends at
the store this morning when the tele--
gram was brought to her. Her nerve-
less hands tore open the missive and
she read the astounding words: exit
ty passed away this morning. Make ar
rangements for funeral SO we can start
from here Saturday morning" Poor
Rose Ward, whose heart had already
born all the suffering 1t could bear,
nearly collapsed at the message.
Friends rushed to her aid, and she
was taken tenderly to her home on
Wisconsin street.
"Rose will never look winter when
she lies in her casket than she did
this morning" commented one of those
who was>with her when the shock came.
Second Sister to Go.
One of the Ward sisters, Mrs. Joseph
Sweeney, died last Februry. At that
time, Mrs. Dexter came to Kenosha to
be present at the funeral. She appear
ed to be in radiant health, and in the
letters which came from her after her
return to her home, she wrote most
cheerfully, SO that nothing in the way
of sudden doom was anticipated from
her quarter. Then in April, the Ward
sisters suffered another tragedy in
the death of their aunt, Mrs. Sarah
Everett. The sorrow that followed
this morning, making the third within
six months, seemed heart-breaking.
Everyone who remembers Mrs. Dex-
ter as Miss Kitty Ward, remembers
her as a comedy happy, healthy girl,
and the grief of the sisters was shared
by many others throughout the city
as the news of her death was an
nounced.

PIONEER WOMAN
! CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. Mary Bell Stanbridge
Dies at Her Home on
Chicago Street.
HERE FOR MANY YEARS

Mrs. Mary Bell Stanbridge, daughter
of the late Dr. Samuel R. Mcclellan
and Catharine Garner Mcclellan. and
widow of the late William Stanbridge
of Kenosha, died at her home at 47o
Chicago street early today following
an illness of six months. She was born
in Youngstown, N. Y, on November II,
1885. She came to Southport CHOW Ke-
nosha) with her parents in July, 1916,
and spent the remainder of her life In
Kenosha and Kenosha county. For
some years the family made their home
on "a farm near Twin Lakes, one of
which (Lake Mary) had been named
for her two years previously by an
uncle. On October s, 1891, she was
married to William Stanbridge Of Ke-
nosha. MIR. lStanbridge@ died in Janu-
airy of 1906.
Closely Connected With Early History.
Mrs. Stanbridge was closely connect
ed with the early history of Wisconsin
and was always deeply interested in
it's public affairs, the more so because
her father, DR.. Samuel Mcclellan, was
a member of the convention that
framed the constitution of the state,
and he also served term in the state
senate in the years 1857-1s5S.
In 1864 DR.. Mcclellan left the farm
and moved with his family to Kenosha.
Having been a practicing physician in
Hudson, N. T., before coming west, he
resumed the practice of Inedicine in
Kenosha and was for many years one
of its leading physicians.
Mrs. Stanbridge received her early
education in Kenosha with the excep-
ton of one year when she attended a
girls school in the east. From girl
hood she was member of the First
Congregational church.
OF her immediate family she is sur
vived by one sister, Miss Cynthia Nc
Clollan; by her step-daughter, Mrs L.
M. Theirs; and by four nieces and four
nephews.

manufacturing capacity of the com
pany.
No Changes in Management.
"In it's new location the Lafayette
Motors corporation will preserve its
independent operating integrity and
the management will remain the same.
It is naturally the intention to retain
the entire organization as thoroughly
intact as possible. We are committed
definitely to the policy of producing
in the Lafayette car of the highest
quality, and the new plant has been
laid out with the manufacturing re-
quirements of such a car carefully in
mind.
"The Lafayette business has now
reached point where we are able to
determine an operating program with
some accuracy. While the new plant
will take care of all anticipated ex-
pansion for the next few years it will
not be too large, with a consequent
burden of expense. Every advantage
developed up to date, both for manu-
featuring efficiency and accuracy of
workmanship, essential TO a car of this
standard will be provided. The loca-
tion is near the main line of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railway.
"Plans have been made to reduce to
minimum the interim between the OPP
erations in the present plant and the
new one. The lapse in production
should be very light"
Business Depression Hurts
Production was started in the In
annapolis plant two and one-half years
ago, almost simultaneously with the
business depression. During that per-
iod approximately 1900 Lafayette cars
have been delivered, and it is reported
that-lack of operating space has great
ly limited the sales possibilities during
the periods Of greatest activity.
Two months ago, following the drop
ping of negotiations toward a merger
between the Lafayette and Pierce-Ar-
row companies, the Lafayette company
was re-organized with 100000 ad-
ditional working capital. Under this
reorganization financial control of. the
Lafayette became vested in the Nash
industries.
To Sell Indiana Plant.
1t is rumored that tentative nego-
tiations are already under way for
the sale of the present Lafayette prop
erty at Mars Hill, an industrial suburb
of. indianapolis. Since the Lafayette
began operations, there has been a
marked increase in general industrial
activity in this district Among other
improvements has been the building of
colony of small homes which has been
commended by various industrial and
building periodicals as model devel-
opment of it's kind.
"While we naturally dislike to break
our associations with city which has
shown the public-spirited cooperation
that we have received from the city of
Indianapolis and which has the many
manufacturing and distributing adj
vantages that are enjoyed here" says
Mr. Nash, "the requirements of the
business make 1t necessary step, an
opinion to which we are sure the bust
moss men of indianapolis if thoroughly
cognizant of the facts, would be bound
to agree. If the Lafayette attains the
success of which it now seems assured
we are sure that every member Of the
organization will remember gratefully
the help which it received from Indian
epolis during its early years"
