ELECTION NOTICE
IS NOW READY
Election Will Bring Vote
on Adoption of Three
Amendments.
MAY GET MORE BONDS

County Clerk Charles L. Holderness
received from the secretary of state
today the notice of the general cleo
ton to be held on November 7th. In
addition to the election of state, leg
islative and county officials, the voters
will pass judgment on three proposed
amendments to the state constitution.
One of the proposed amendments to
be" submitted a to the voters provides
that the legislature may from time to
time provide that valid verdict in
civil cases may be based on the votes
Of a specified number of a jury, not
less than fve-sixths thereof"
The second amendment permits sher-
ifs to succeed themselves and the
third authorizes cities to incur an ad-
ditional five 9per cent indebtedness on
thevalues of their taxable property
for the construction or acquisition
and operation Of street railways or
other utilities.
Show Interest. in Amendments.
It is expected that the normal voter
will show more than an average inter
est in the =, proposed constitutional
amendments this year. The one re-
lating to the tenure of office of the
sheriff of the various Wisconsin coun-
ties has attracted lot OF attention.
In several of the counties of the
state the present sheriff is seeking
reelection in the hope that the amend
ment may be adopted by the vote of
the people and he be given another
term of office. Sheriff William Rauen
Of this county decided not to be can
didate for reelection even though it
was indicated that the amendment
would probably be affirmed by the
people.
Interested in Bonding Amendment.
Kenosha people have shown a con-
siderable interest in the amendment
providing for increased bonding rights
for cities on account of the fact that
Kenosha is planning some big expen-
ditures for the future. The amend
ment does. not provide for the extern
sion of the bonding privilege of cities
for all purposes, but it provides sspeci-
chase of street railway property.
While there is no move on in Keno
sha at the present time to acquire the
street railway property, it is freely
admitted that the issue may become
paramount one at no distant date.

MAN DASHES AWAY
Steve KOrenchuk Arraigned
This Morning Asks to Be
''Sent to Navy.

When Judge Slater asked Steve Kor-
enchuk this morning whether he were
guilty or not guilty of the charge of
assaulting one John Leskowich Thurs
day evening with intent to do great
bodily harm, he replied, want to
join the navy" y
"Are you guilty or not guilty?' re-
peated the judge, non-plussed.
Guilty" replied Korenchuk. "Can
join for one year"
The man was said to have stuck a
30 Colt automatic revolver into the
ribs of Leskowich, his clearinghouse
proprietor, on Tuesday evening at Les
kowich's home. 730 Elm street, when
the latter was saved by his screaming
child, and his attitude this morning
that he wanted to Join the navy
seemed not so much the result Of a
person who was seeking an easy way
out of a difficulty, as it seemed sign
of disordered and unbalanced mind.
A faint physical tremor was noticeable
and his blue eyes looked out of a mind
which appeared to be not quite call
there"
Although Korenchuk said he wished
to plead guilty he said Eyes" when
asked if he wanted preliminary ex-
animation, and his case was set for
August %, bonds fixed at 5000.
Little Girl Saves Father.
Korenchuk returned from a visit to
Detroit Thursday evening, and drove
up ina taxi-cab to the Leskowich
home. Bidding the taxi-driver wait
for him, the man ran up the steps of
the front porch where the master of
the house sat, and at his feet played
his little daughter.
"I'm going to kill you'll" cried Koren-
.chuk, pulling a gun from his belt, and
pointing it at Leskowich.
The child jumped out from her toys
with a piercing scream,~and ran in be-
tween the deadly weapon and her IA
Their. Korenchuk hesitated, gave a
strange look at the child and dashed
down the steps and into the taxi
When the police were notified, they
set out looking for Korenchuk but fail

securing the neigh borhood for the
man, Louis La Cheese, merchant po-
liceman. brought him to the station
La Cheese Didn't Know of Affair.
La Cheese did not know about the
incident on Elm street, but while he
was making his rounds someone on the
street pointed out Korenchuk to him
and said that the man was carrying
gun. La Gleese went directly up to
Korenchuk, searched him, found the
gun and ammunition and arrested him
on the spot.
When La Cheese appeared at the po-
lice station with his prisoner he was
greeted with a shout of delight, for
he had brought in the very man for
whom the police officers were looking.

being arraigned and also while other
defendants were being arraigned, two

car tracks and is the only means of

to the hospital, which is on the out

Tracks are laid into the receiving
ward of the hospital so that the am
bulance car go right into the hospital.

IRISH FREE STATE TO
 REVOKE TAX ON AUTOS
 SHIPPED FROM AMERICA

DUBLIN, Dec. IS. Free State Government intends at the first op- portunity to revoke the tax upon automobiles imported from America. For the protection of British manu- lecturers the British government i'm posed a heavy tax upon cars arriv- ing in Great Britain and Ireland. Ireland under the old regime had to pay the tax, and, of course, in sew eral instances English manufacturers were able to undersell the American car. Ireland has no interest in au. tomobile manufacturing. There isn't factory in the country. The re- vokiag of the tax is expected to be boon to Americans, as nowadays most travelling in Ireland is done by auto. Nearly all the railroads are out of commission owing to destruc- tfon wrought by the Republicans.
