SAYS KNEESKERN
EXPECTED TROUBLE
Aged Janitor Proves Strong Witness
for State in Trial of Cattle Man
at Charles City.

Charles City With the states case
strengthened by the testimony of Will
liam Fisher, former janitor for B. F.
Kneeskern that the defendant in the
murder trial which is being tried here
went to the Van Brooklin home on the
morning of December II, 1921 with
the avowed intention of meeting trou-
ble," the trial of the Castalia cattle
buyer went into its second week here
today.
The aged witness took the stand yes
terday afternoon, and the state drew
from him a story which rivaled even
that of Elmer Van Brooklin, the pros
ecutions star witness, who had pre-
ceded him on the stand, in its SEN
sational character. Wilma Nuenswand-
er and Marie Num-, both 10, and Mrs.
Martha E. Riggs, neighbor of the
Kneeskerns in Castalia followed him
on the stand but their testimony was
incidental in comparison.
Fisher who is troubled with a weak
heart, asked to leave the stand before
the attorneys had finished question
ing him yesterday and he was recalled
as the first witness this morning but
added little to the story told yesterday.

The formal complaint upon which
Beckman would be arraigned had not
been determined upon at three o'clock.

ton of officials late Tuesday evening

sworn out for Beckmans arrest on
the fathers complaint. Today the po-

men, and it was indicated that the
withdrawal order would be carried out
as soon as the American commander,
Major General Allen, could make the
necessary arrangements for winding
up finally the affairs of the army of

~ you Lnlnk that lnterurban bus
lines should be required to pay tax
for the use of the state highways?
Where asked: Main Street.
THE ANSWERS:
F. Chrome, zoo Maple Court: |
think that it would be a good thing
II they would pay an extra tax. Be-
sides, not only should the passenger
bus lines pay, but the big freight lines
and long distance movers. These
companies use the roads to make their
profits and rip up the roads much
more than the ordinary cars. Then
too, they don't pay for their upkeep
outside of the ordinary licenses.
f. B. Taylor, 208 South LaSalle
street, Chicago: In my opinion, the
buses used by these companies do
not wear the roads any more than the
ordinary passenger car, inasmuch as
they use pneumatic tires. Therefore.
/ can see no reason for imposing a
tax upon these companies.
G. L. Shultz, GA Hamilton Avenue
Racine: l do not think that bus COM
panies should be charged a tax for
operating on the state highways. II
the first place they have no fran
chise and the way is absolutely open
for competition. The roads are for
everyone. They have as much right
there as anyone else. They pay as
much as any other auto owner does,
too.
w. U. Urban, Newell Street: l think
that they ought to at that. These
bus companies use the highways to
make their profits. They wear down the
roads faster than the ordinary car
and do not pay for their upkeep OUT
side of the ordinary running license.

SCHOOL BOARD
/. SAYS PORTABLES
Rather Than Put Children
on Half Time Compro-
mise Must Continue.
DISCUSS MORE ROUTINE
Meeting on Tuesday Evening
Covers Usual Ground Of
Detail Work.
DISCUSS MORE ROUTINE

The school board in regular session
Tuesday evening decided that they
would have to keep on building port
ables for the sake of the children rath-
er than place them upon half time. 1t
was found that the schools of the city
are again so crowded that half-time
will be necessary unless something
would be done. The renting of rooms
in buildings will be substituted for
portables, but only in such cases as
where the rooms are desirable and the
building not near saloon or pool room
or other place detrimental to the NOR
ais of children.
Shows High Enrolment.
Supt. G. F.. Loomis in his report to
the board showed that the total enroll
ment of all the public schools of the
city was 1866 and that of this, total
during the month of December there
was an attendance of 1926. The at
tendance percentage was very high,
being $3.50.
Y Of the total enrolment the pupils
are divided as follows: senior high
school, 652; junior highs, 1888; ele-
mentary, 4,338; kindergarten, 949; and
special, So. The report shows further
that during the month 158 children
were sick with contagious diseases.
To Condemn Burke Lot

demnation of certain lots in the Lawn
dale subdivision desired for school

and 81, as tie board was informed that
Judgment of $4,000 against the lot

possible for him to negotiate sale.
The school board passed a resolution
in honor of the late George Wallis,
school commissioner, who was called
by death in the midst of his activities
as member cf the school board.
More Routine Business.
Other routine business was trans
acted, such as the sanction of the
renting of he Orpheum theatre for
high school assemblage purposes at the
rate of SIS week, and the announce
ment of the superintendent that here
after signed permits from parents will
be required before boys will be allowed
to use the machines in the manual
training department.
Jay GleIum suggested that the

ment of the state department of edu-
cation for information as to the legal
ity of the general system for handling
the finance adopted by the special
auditing committee of the board.
