Los Angeles, Cal-Two men were
taken into custody by the police here
early this morning and were being held
for investigation in connection with
the Staying of William D. Taylor, mo-
ton picture director, in his apartment
here on the night of February 1.
The men, whose names have been
withheld by the police were said to
have been members of "bootlegging
gang" which carried on extensive oper-
ations in the Hollywood section
Officers were seeking this morning
third member of the alleged gang who
escaped from the house in which the
two were arrested.
According to the police the men
were sought as possible suspects in the
Taylor case following story told to
an officer by a woman, also said to have
been member of the purported gang.
This woman, whose name is withheld,
told the police they said, that she had
heard the men threaten Taylor's life
because they feared he was interfering
with their business"
Early this morning patrolmen raided
house in the Wiltshire district and
took the two men into custody A full
investigation of the activities of the
gang will be made, it is said.
The authorities refused to divulge
further information concerning the
arrests pending the arrest of the third

murder charge that the name of
Wanatka came to be mentioned in the
case. Wanatka was at one time en-
ployed on a fruit boat operating be
tween Kenosha and Michigan ports ant
it was said that during this occupation
he used the peculiar knife which was
found in front of the garage following
the Staying of Pacini. The knife was
not brought into the case as evidence
until near the close of the trial and at
that time Judge Belden refused to
admit it to evidence, holding that its
connection with the case was vague
and uncertain.
It has been said by men who were
closely connected with the investiga-
ton that threats of Pacini to expose
the operation of liquor gang furn-
ished a motive for the crime.
The officers who went to Chicago
today to secure the arrest of Wan
atka were armed with extradition
papers to bring the man back to Ke-
nosha for trial. It was expected that
the officers would return to Kenosha
late this afternoon but no word was
received from the officers in regard
to the progress of their work in
Chicago.
Wanatka has been living in Chicago
for some time but it is said that he
has made frequent trips to Kenosha.

Alice Nj. Hansen of Madi-
son Sues for Over $4,000
Against w. G. & E. Co.
INJURED IN KENOSHA
Woman Says She Was Made
Permanently Lame when
Injured in Collision.

The Wisconsin Gas and Electric COM
pany is named as defendant in an &C
ton demanding damages to the amount
of $30,4S0.69 which was filed in the cir
cult court Monday and in which Alice
M. Hansen of Madison, is the plaintiff.
The demand for damages-one of
the largest ever made in an action filed
in the circuit court of Kenosha county
lis based on an accident which oc-
Cured on Milwaukee avenue on the
afternoon of November %, 1919, when
a work car Of the street railway COM
pany collided with an automobile in
which Miss Hansen and other people
were riding. The complaint does not
name any of the other members of
the party in the automobile but it is
known that they are now in litigation
against the company.
Claims Permanent Injury.
In her complaint Miss Hansen claims
that she sustained permanent injuries
as a result of the accident and she
declares that the accident was due to
the negligent manner in which the
work train of the company was hand
led. The complaint recites that the
night was dark and misty and that
along about five o'clock in the evening
the automobile in which the plaintiff
was passenger was being driven along
Milwaukee without any lack of care.
The plaintiff declares that as result
of the collision she sustained dislo-
cation of the hip and that the thigh
joint was driven into the flesh for a
distance of four inches. 1t is alleged
that she was under the care of sur
geons for many months and that the
injury brought permanent lameness.
In addition to this major injury she
declares that she was bruised in all
parts of her body and that she suffered
and still suffers from the nervous
shock which attended the accident.
Madison Lawyer Files Suit.
The action is filed by Attorney E. J..
B. Schubrung, of Madison, and while
the complaint was made out many
months ago, the formal filing of the
suit has just taken place. No answer
to the suit has been filed by the de-
PENDANT company
Other members of the party injured
in the same accident included Mr.. and
Mrs. William j. Swift, Miss Helen
Althoff and Miss Geardine Dornbush,
all of Kenosha. Miss Hansen was Wis
iting with friends in Kenosha at the
time of the accident. Other members
of the Marty met very sarioTc ini,1rios
and several suits brought by them are
now pending in the circuit court or
under appeal to the supreme court of
the state. The total demands for dam
ages made against the company as a
result of the accident is in excess of
one hundred thousand dollars.
So far as is known no settlement
has been made of any claims made
by the injured parties.

Defines "Flappers"
Attending University
(By United Press.)


Berkeley, Cal.-Approximately 1000
"flappers" are on the University of
California student rolls, Miss Mary Ida
Bentley, former secretary of the San
Francisco Young Women's Christian
Association, declared. in an address
here.
"Flappers," Miss Bentley said,
usually are girls who believe person
ALT. is physical, who consider all ad-
wise as abstract, who love continual
change, who converse in generalities
and who are in many higher institutions
of learning
"To present picture Of the normal
girls as she exists today is daring
venture" Miss Bentley added. "She
has no average, she has no group tie.
She is a stranger to herself-some-
times especially to members of her own
family-and cannot be compared with
her kind of a previous age.
eve are tempted to think of her as
living in spirit of masquerade so
rapidly and completely can she assume
different and difficult roles of accom-
plishment.
"She tantalizes US by the simpleness
of her artfulness and yet unrealness
We find her light-hearted, which is
the privilege of youth. She believes
with Stevenson that 'to have missed
the joy is to have missed it all We
find her harboring secrets and i'm
bedded emotions which are her hid
den treasure in the mysterious discov-
cry of herself as private individual.
If we do not understand these symp-
toms we call it temperament and try
to dispose Of the girl as difficult or as
needing discipline"

The Wreck of the Rooster

As along you strut
With feathers so proud
And your clarion call
Is heard aloud
With tail erect
And superior mein,
While yet it is dark
And you are unseen
At early morn
You herald the day
To proclaim to the world
By your musical lay,
But alas the dread axe
You will shortly know,
And join the vast throng
Who have gone below;
Bereft of those feathers
And lordly head
No more 'mongst your hens
You will mincingly tread
To grace the table
Is surely your end
With legs trussed to side
Your wings we will bend
AS you re served hot and juicy
With sundry things
And the carving knife sewers
Your legs and your wings
Your breast bones laid bare
And your wish bone severed
Your cargo of forced meat
Is also delivered
And so poor wreck
Your beauty is gone
A frame work is left
And your LIES work is done.
