Young Mother is
Taken to Milwaukee
Loretta Bose Will Be Given opportu-
nifty to Claim Child She is Said
to Have Abandoned.

Charged with abandoning her infant
child, Loretta Bose of the Birch road
was taken to Milwaukee by officials
from that city Tuesday evening, on the
orders Of District Attorney label. The
young woman was in a state of col
lapse when taken from her home, fol-
lowing the questioning by the Milwau-
kee authorities, and could only give
feeble and monosyllabic replies to the
inquiries put to her.
The arrest of the Kenosha girl, who
is nineteen years old, came about
through the finding early Monday
evening of baby boy, few weeks
old, whimpering on the ground in an
open field in Milwaukee, known as the
''old circus grounds" Certain clues
found by the detectives resulted in
tracing the parentage of the child to
the young Kenosha woman, who is al
legged to have abandoned the child, fol-
lowing her release from a Milwaukee
hospital. The Milwaukee officials ex-
pect to question the young mother for
the purpose of ascertaining further re-
sponsibility in the case on the part OF
the father of the child. 1t is said that
in case the girl claims the child as
her own and promises to give it q
mothers care, the charges against her
may be dropped.

He Has a Good
Imagination!
"Village Wit" Plays Joke on Fans by
Adding Few Lines to Kenosha
News Bulletin Today.

Some "village wit" on the west side
of the city, probably unemployed and
therefore with a lot of time on his
hands let his Imagination. get the
best of him last night. Maybe he is
just one of these optimistic birds, a
prophet or a "wisecrackern all OBJ
jections to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Anyway, the Kenosha Evening
News put out bulletins announcing
the results of the election of last
night. This wise guy procured a
lead pencil and proceeded to write on
the bulletin few lines to the effect
that Walter Kinney and Steve Yenk
had been signed by the Bedmakers and
would be in uniform ready for to-
days game. Of course, the News ,bulIe-
tins are well read and this morning
the office was swamped with calls
wanting to know if this was true.
(They knew the News bulletins are all
typewritten.)
Officials at the Simmons company
said nothing definite had been done
IN regard to these players. So it
wasn't our fault if you went to the
Palace of Sunshine this afternoon ex-
pecting to see Kinney and Yerks in
action. The bulletin was at Elizabeth
and Rowland and West side fans were
victims of the joke.

PLANS PROGRESS
ON COURTHOUSE
New Building Committee
and Architects Return
From Ohio.
MEET AGAIN SUNDAY

After tour of investigation to dis
cover the faults and virtues of public
buildings in Indiana and Ohio, Archi-
tects Lindl and Schultz and the new
building committee of the county
board have returned home with a
sense of satisfaction that in planning
the courthouse and allied buildings
for Kencsha county, they were already
on the right track. The committee
will meet at the court annex next Sun
day afternoon to hear engineers dis
cuss heating and lighting systems.
MIR Schultz and / visited Portland,
Ind, and Fort Wayne said Mr.. Lindl
on his return today, "but found moth
ing at either place to hold our inter
est. The heating and ventilating sys-
tenn in their courthouses was poor and
the lighting arrangement poor But
at Cincinnati, Ohio, we found the fin
est example of public buildings in the
courthouse there and immediately
wired the county board building COM
nittee to join US there, which they
did on Sunday The officials there
showed us every courtesy and made
special arrangements with the Gus
todian for Sunday, so that we could
be shown the building in every detail.
Has Magnificent Building.
Cincinnati has a population of
about half million, and the court
house to meet the needs of this large
and growing community was complet-
ed in 1918. They have about twenty
four courts, all housed in one build
ing. Bedford lime stone is used on
the exterior, the same as we propose to
use on our Kenosha courthouse. 1t
is 800 feet square and six stories high,
and is planned with a view to future
growth so that there is much court
and Office space now that is not used
at all.
There was an impressive severity
about their courtrooms and the whole
structure, while beautiful, was simple
and. dignifed. Elaboration was spent
on details such as lighting fixtures
and radiator grills, which were of
bronze. Their lighting fixtures exc
cuted in intricate symbols cost $4,000.
One drawback was in. the placing of
their elevators which were not readily
accessible. Ours will be in the main
lobby, in plain view on entering the
building. Another thing was the
placement of the jury boxes, which
they admitted had been a mistake, be-
ing opposite the light and infexible
in position. We will avoid that mis-
take by having the jury box either OPP
posite a blank wall or have the win
dows of cathedral glass, with swivel
chairs.
sour trip was a hot and ardurous
one, but we decided as result of it,
that we were on the right track in
our preliminary study here, and also
concluded that we could stay within
our estimate of forty-four cents per
cubic foot on the cost of the building"

PUTS NO BLAME
ON THE DRIVER
Coroner's Jury Blames No
One for Causing Death
of Jacob Keul.
WILL PUSH CHARGES

Declaring that the evidence laid be-
fore them "did not warrant them in
placing the responsibility for the death
of Jacob Kuel on any specific person
or group of persons, "the coroner's
jury which made an investigation into
the automobile accident which resulted
in the death Of the former deputy
sheriff, brought in verdict late Mon
day afternoon which it is believed may
help to free Mrs. Mary Robbins, driver
of the death car, and Norman Weiss,
owner of it, from the charges of
manslaughter upon which they are
now out on heavy bonds. District At
torney Frank Symmonds Immediately
announced that the finding of the
coroner's jury would not result in
the dropping of the criminal charges
against the two Chicagoans and that
he would prosecute them notwith-
standing this.
Both are scheduled to have their
preliminary hearing in the municipal
court here on June the 29th
Jury Completes Investigation.
The eoroner's jury under the direc-
tion of Coroner Truman T. Parker,
completed it's investigation into the
tragedy late Monday afternoon. Mrs
Robbins and her friend, Mrs Neil
Curry, the two Chicago women who
were in the death car, did not appear
before the jurors availing themselves
of their privilege to refuse to testify
on the grounds that their testimony
might be used against them in the
pros ecution of the manslaughter
charge. Norman Weiss, the owner of
the car, did appear before the jury and
made a complete statement of his YER
sion of the accident, declaring that che
had no reason not to welcome 40 COM
plete and thorough investigation"
The verdict of the coroner's jury de-
clared that Jacob Kuel died from a
fracture of the skull received when he
was thrown from the automobile in
which he was riding with others"
There was added: "The jurors feel that
information and evidence presented in
this case do not warrant them in plac-
ing the responsibility for the said
death upon any specific person or
group of persons"
IT am not as easily satisfied as are
the jurors" declared District Attorney
Symmonds, "and 1 will continue to
push the charges against the persons
who were in the car. There are angles
of the case which while they did not
interest coroner's jury, are of great
interest to the Office of the district
attorney"
1t was stated that heavy hauling on
the road since the time of the tragedy
had made very radical change in the
condition of the road at the scene of
the, accident and that this point would
be brought out more carefully when
ever the cases against the defendants
were heard.
