Grover McNamara's
Son in Accident
Six-Year-OId Donald Mcnamara, Run
Over by Auto Truck on Way to
School, Will Recover.

Little Donald Mcnamara, the six
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Grover
Mcnamara, 581 Edward street, was
knocked down by truck on Elizabeth
street and run over this morning when
the child was on his way to school.
The rear wheel of the automobile
passed over the boys body and when
he was examined later at the Kenosha
hospital, it was found that five ribs
had been broken.
Donald was hurrying across Eliza
beth street on his way to the St. Thorn
as school at 8:45 this morning when
the accident happened. He was cross
ing Elizabeth street just west of the
West Side Garage when an automobile
truck owned by Bode Brothers and
driven by James Barlow, going west on
Elizabeth street struck the child. The
driver as soon as he saw disaster i'm
pending, quickly swerved the truck, but
the rear wheel still passed over the
PROSTATE little body.
The drivers explanation was that q
streetcar interviewed and that he did
not see the child coming. He stopped
his car and with the aid of another
motorist hurried the victim to the Ke-
nosha hospital DR.. Murphy is in at
tendance, and it was announced this
afternoon that there were hopes of the
little boys recovery.

had been arrested for house breaking
in Waukegan and that he had been
placed on parole, and allowed to return
to his home in Superior, Mich, al
though the Kenosha police had asked
the Waukegan department to hold the
man for them. After some lapse of
time Scharte was found at Superior,
Mich, and brought to Kenosha for trial.
Scharte made a clever plea in his
own behalf, showing by his choice of
words and his argument that he had
had a good education, and it was hard
to believe that he had had no previous
training in the courts. He spoke in a
clear reasonable voice, had the little
deprecatory cough, the "ah-hem" of the
experienced barrister, and even when
called to time by the court showed
not the least embarrassment. When
Judge Belden told him that his time
was up, Scharte returned, "Very well,
but I have only few words more to
say" and coolly continued
His past, his education and every
thing about him remained mystery
and when questioned later, he kept up
the mask of inscrutability and merely
informed a reporter that he was %
years old, had had high school edu-
customer" the local police authorities
been a CLERK"
Meanwhile he left the impression of
talent which could be turned to bet
e L. Ii
customer'5 the local police authorities
have yet run across.
Had the jury in this case released
him, Scharte would have been imme-
diately arrested on the charge of burg
larizing the Terrell home, as Deputy
Keul was already armed with war;
rant to that end.

British Seamen
Are Unemployed

London.-The shipping slump is not
only responsible for the laying-up of
many steamers, but has created class
of crews which never come ashore if
it can be avoided There are so few
ships now going into commission that
a crew once aboard elects to stay there
on the return to the home port rather
than risk not being engaged again
1t is asserted by officials of the
Mercantile Service that one-fifth of
the British seamen are unemployed, in
Guiding 1000 captains and ship Off
GERS. Many of the latter have endeav-
ored to take subordinate position on
vessels rather than not be employed at
all.
Many ships are said to be running
at loss in the hope of keeping the
carrying trade between certain ports,
in English hands.

former sheriff, to become the county
supervisor for the fifth ward, to take
the place made vacant by the recent
resignation of Commissioner Parks,
who had been chosen to fill out the
unexpired term caused by the death
of Supervisor Charles Kline. Herr
mann was chosen by a large majority,
two ballots being necessary because
on the first vote there appeared to
be more votes cast than there were
aldermen present.
The council voted to extend the time
for paying taxes until February the
9th before the additional two per
cent penalty will be exacted.
Alderman Mischief, chairman of the
streets and alleys committee, in COM
menting on the use of ashes in the
streets, said that a report would be
brought in soon which would call for
the paving of more than fifteen streets
in the city. Any action on any paw
ing was withheld pending the bring
ing of this report.
Auto Owner Gets $3.50.
The claim of George Petersen for
damages done TO his automobile when
it was commandeered by Police Officer
Pitsch and used in the chase of auto
thieves on the Lake Shore road, in
which he met with an accident, was
presented and he was allowed $3.50 as
a partial settlement. Acting under the
direction of the police officer, Petersen
met with an accident, when his cal
skidded off the road and crashed into
tree.
Reports presented by the light COM
mittee showed that the cost of keep.
ing the new Main street bridge light
ed was reaching $14O month. 1t was
decided to cut down this expense anG
orders have been issued to shut off
part of the lights at midnight each
night with further reductions in order
later in the year.

FARWELL ENTERS
mot GUILTY" PLEA
Wealthy Vienna Farmer Appears in
Court at Madison and Hearing is
Set for January 31st.
(By Associated Press Leased Vine

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Madison.-The preliminary hearing
on the charge of first degree murder
entered against Hartwell Farwell, the
wealthy Vienna, Wis, farmer, who on
Saturday admitted in a signed state
ment that he had killed Phillip Houston
of Windsor and attempted to burn his
body in haystack near Portage, was
set for January 31st, by Judge A. G..
Hoppmann in Dane county superior
court today. When arraigned, Farwell
entered a plea of not guilty to the
murder charge, basing his plea on the
grounds that he was insane at the time
of the shooting and not mentally re-
sponsible, that he was feeble-minded
and that he acted in self-defense.
7. G. Lewis, district attorney of Dane
county, will so to Portage today to be
present at a post-mortem on the body
of Houston to determine, if possible,
the time of his death and find how it
came about. DR.. c. H. Bunting, pro-
lessor of pathology at the University
of Wisconsin, will conduct the exam
nation. The examination was expected
to determine whether or not Houston
was held prisoner from Tuesday to
Thursday before being killed and to
check up on stories of Farwell and his
sister Alice, whose love affair with
Houston is said to have been indirectly
responsible for the shooting. She has
told contradictory stories, which the
district attorney intends to straighten
out. Farwell in court today appeared
broken by his experiences. He sat be-
fore the judge on request of his attor-
neys who said that he was unable to
stand before the bar to answer the
charges.

BULLETIN.


Milwaukee, Wis.-COunsel for
Walter M. Burke, KenOsha lawyer,
accused of cOnspiring to bride
Bert p. HerzOg, former prohibition
enforcement chief, fought late in
to the afternoon today to smash
the damaging story told by Joseph
Custer, former director in charge
Of the internal revenue Office at
kenOsha.
In his direct examination Gus
ter testified that Harry Feuer,
Chicago liquor man, now thought
to be the mysterious Jacob Led
erer, who pleaded guilty yesterday,
would notify Custer whenever a
car of whiskey was due to reach
Milwaukee. This information, in
Guiding the number of the car, it
was testified, was passed on to
Burke and Herzog. The cars were
unlOaded at the North avenue
station of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul road.
Feuer, whenever a carload was
received, gave Custer $4,000 of
which Custer put aside $4,000 for
Burke and spit the remainder
with HerzOg, it was testified. This
occurred three times, the fourth
time there being 'hOld out" ac-
cOrding to Custer. AS a result
Custer received only $4,000 to split
with Herzog. On the fifth car
Bure again got $4,000, but this
time $4,000 was held out, according
to Custer. The sixth car was seiz-
ed by the prohibition officials.

Berton Braiey's Poem

FISHING
I've heard the anglers tell about
Their days of true delight.
When pickerel or bass or trout
Did nothing else but bite;
That would be fine, I must admit.
But with me. up to date,
To fish has meant to sit and sit
And wait and wait and wait.
rye heard of fish who grabbed the
hook
With fierce and famished zest.
But on each fishing trip took
I found the fish at rest;
I'd use my cunning and my wit
And every sort of bait,
Yet still I'd sit and sit and sit
And wait and wait and wait.
An aching back, blistered nose,
Peeled by the blazing sun.
Are well enough. perhaps, for
those
who think that fishing's fun;
But r am deeply bored by it,
In fact / frankly hate
To sit and sit and sit
And wait and wait and wait!
