NAB YOUTHS IN
AUTO THEFT NET
Racine Youths Caught in
Stolen Car as Result of
Woman's Tip.
RECOVER OTHER CARS
Tip Given by Mrs. Grant C.
Ledger Results in Trailing
Down Two Culprits.

A woman's tip followed by quick and
efficient work on the part of the Keno
sha and Racine police departments re-
suited in the roundup of an auto
theft ring this morning and the recov-
cry of five Ford automobiles which
have been taken by the ring.
William Jensen, 1928 Reeds court,
Racine, and Robert Paneas, 1141 Mil
waukee avenue, Racine, are under ar
rest as a result and the police of the
two cities are probing deeper into their
activities in the belief that there may
be others implicated in the work of the
two young men.
The woman whose detective work
featured in the arrest of the two young
men is Mrs. Grant c.. Ledger, 1885
Rowland avenue She it WAS who
started the trail that led to the arrest
and the recovery of the cars.
Caught Transferring Gasoline.
Mrs. Ledger became suspicious on
Wednesday afternoon just before o.
clock when she watched two men trans
ferring gasoline from one Ford tour
ing car to another in front of her home
on Rowland avenue. She had presence
of mind enough to take down the Ii
cense numbers on the two cars and TO
get good description of the two men.
Then she slipped over to the home
of neighbor, Frank Achen, 1917 How
land avenue, who acted for her in re-
porting the affair to the police. I'M
Meissner and. Patrolman Long started
an investigation. They found that the
car which the men had left in front of
the Kenosha home had been stolen
from Racine and one license plate tax
en- from it. They wired Racine to be
on the lookout.
Find Other Stolen Car.
Meanwhile the plot thickened. An
other car, stolen from Racine, was
road north of Kenosha by Deputy
Sheriff Nicholas Otto. Also it was re-
ported that a third car had been taken
from the MacWhyte plant late We'd
nesday evening.
With the information given them by
the Kenosha police, Detectives Piel
and Yanny in Racine found the two
youths named above riding in car
on which they had attached one Of the
license plates from the car left in Ke-
nosha. This Ford was discovered to be
the one belonging to Ernest Poltrock
of Kenosha and was brought back to
this city.
Investigation revealed, according TO
the Racine police, that the two men
arrested had also taken a Ford speed
ster here several months ago and it
also has been recovered in Racine.
Returning Autos Today.
The police officials of the two coun-
ties were busy this morning getting
the various cars Strengthened out and
returned to their owners in the two
counties. The license plates had been
changed on them and various other
means used to hide their identity.
The two youngsters held in Racine
as result of the roundup maintain
that they were merely taking joy rides.
They admit that whenever they ran
out of gasoline they merely took an
other car. Police, however, believe
that they may be members of a larger
ring and a closer investigation is being
made into their stories.

There will be no definite action on
the proposal to secure tract index
for Kenosha county at the present
session of the county board of super
visors. This was made certain this
morning when the board by large
majority voted to send the district
attorney to Madison to investigate the
legal points at issue in the letting of
a contract for tract Index with in
structions for him to report at the
January session of the board. This
means that any action on the project
will be deferred until the first ses-

SHERIFF FACES
CONTEMPT CHARGE
Interesting Order to Show
Cause is Brought Be
fore Court.
is A KNOTTY TANGLE
Miss Madeline Minkel Claims
Sheriff Guilty of Contempt
for Not Selling Property.
Here's a nice kettle OF rsn!

Sheriff Fred Pabst had to hail him
self into court before Judge Belden
on Saturday afternoon to answer an
order to show cause why he was not
in contempt of court in failing to sell
certain property seized for debt. The
charge, however, is not as serious as
it sounds for the sheriff has support
ing him IN his action the order of
bankruptcy court and now the cir
cult court must decide which order
has precedence.
The order to show cause was brought
by Miss Madeline Minkel, who with her
sister, Miss Lillian Minkel, was form
erly owner of the City Square Hotel
lease and the case is an outgrowth
Of business deal in connection with
this lease. The order was drawn by
Attorney Wallace ingalls, of Racine,
representing Miss Minkel, and it was
brought before the court on an adj
journed hearing.
Ordered to Sell Property.
The history of the case is as fol-
lows: The ground floor in the City
Square Hotel building had been leased
to the Rocos restaurant which was in
default 5000 in rent. The proprietor
of the restaurant being unable to pay,
judgment was taken against him and
execution levied against whatever
property he might have to satisfy the
judgment. The sheriff attached some
fixtures of the restaurant but before
these could be sold another person
claimed ownership of the property on
a bill of sale. The question was be-
fore the court and the sheriff au-
thorized to sell the property to meet
the claim.
Before the date for this sale Rocos
went into bankruptcy and the trustee
in the bankruptcy demanded that all
property be turned over to him.
Between Two Orders.
Sheriff Pabst found himself under
two orders, one of the circuit court
to sell the property and the other of
the bankruptcy court to turn the prop
erty over to the trustee. He decided
to- wait and allow the courts to decide
which order had preference.
Miss Minkel alleges that had the
sheriff sold the property on, time as
ordered. it would never have been
thrown into the bankruptcy proceed
ings and the claim would have been
satisfied. Should the sheriff be found
guilty of contempt, he would be forced
either to pay the judgment or accept
the punishment for contempt of court.
Judge Beldep/ took the matter under
advisement. It is most interesting
case inasmuch as the decision will de-
termine, whether bankruptcy court
is superior to state courts

CorIiss C. Clifford, Run
Down by Car While
Crossing Street.
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Driven by Arthur
ID. Gaines, Teller at First
National Bank.

Corliss C. Clifford narrowly missed
death today when he was struck by
an automobile driven by Arthur d.
Gaines, and knocked under the wheels
of street car standing on the switch
at Elizabeth street and Fremont avenue.
Clifford, who is an official of the
American Brass company, started
across the street from the plant gate to
the office. He failed to notice Gaines
car until it was almost on him. Be
coming confused he attempted to re-
gain the sidewalk and stepped di-
rectly in the path of the automobile
which was travelling between ten and
twelve miles an hour.
The right front headlight of the car
struck him, and he rolled beneath the
front end of the street car which
was just on the point of starting. The
motorman CHANGED to see the accident
and did not move his car until Gift
ford had been pulled from under
meath. Gaines, who was driving the
machine, was driving from his home
in Pleasant Prairie to his work.
He is receiving teller of the First
National bank.
Rushed to Hospital.
Robert Hill, chauffeur for the
American Brass company, CHANGED to
be standing in front of the office. He
was the first one to give assistance to
the injured man. Clifford was rushed
to the Kenosha hospital where he
was given first aid by DR.. G. H.
Gephart.
Examination showed that he had suf-
fered bruises to the head and body
and a badly sprained wrist. 1t is
thought, however, that he has not sus-
tanned any internal injuries, although
this cannot be told definitely for
day or so. After treatment he was
removed to his home at CTS Pleasant
street.
In a statement made following the
accident Gaines stated that he saw
Clifford in time to stop three times,
but he thought Clifford had noticed
his car. He said that suddenly Cif-
ford looked up and for an instant
stood still as though confused, then he
attempted to leap back to the side
walk instead of going ahead.
Accidental Unavoidable.
Gaines said that because of the
street car he did not have room to
turn out and avoid the accident. How
ever he damned on the brakes and
brought the car to a stop in less than
five feet.
The accident was witnessed by
number or the passengers on the
street car who CHANGED to be looking

Raises Many Questions.
The new law is raising many ques-
tions in the minds of auto owners. One
of these is whether the weight in
question means factory weight or road
weight and the general opinion seems
to be that the road weight is the pro-
per one. The secretary of state has
sent out list of weights of various
cars, but since it was impossible to
list all models of all cars, this is not
complete. Many of the garage dealers
will have list of this nature and will
be able to aid owners in this way in
arriving to a fairly correct estimate
as to the weight of the car.
1t has been suggested that good
way to meet the regulation is for each
owner to drive his automobile on the
scales and find the weight attaching
the scales record to his application
for license.

Will Check On Weights.

1t has been announced that some
method will be used to check up on the
weights Of the cars as given to the
secretary of state, in the application
for license. 1t is possible that dep
uties will be placed on the roads with
authority to invite owners to demon
strate that they have given the true
weight of the car, but definite an
nouncement regarding this has not yet
been made.

TR0LLEYS PROFIT
IN SHRINE WEEK
Gross Income Increased
$61 900 During Convention,
But Costs Are Greater.

The Shriners added approximately
$4,000 to the gross income of the
two street railway companies dur
ing their stay in Washington, 1t was
estimated today.
Officials of both systems explained
that this is not net increase over
normal income for a week In June,
but represents gross increase
without any operating deductions
having been made.
When the financial statement for
the month is compiled the companies
will find more than the usual amount
of expense due to the operation of
more cars and longer hours for train
men during Shrine week.
The Capital Traction estimates its
gross increase from the convention
at $4,000. and the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company. $28,602.5 50.
