Two Autos Spill
on Geneva Road
Several Miraculously Escape Injury in
Spill on the Geneva Road
Sunday Night.

Several Kenoshans flirted with death
about ten o'clock Sunday night when
the Chevrolet coupe, owned and driven
by Joe Molaski, of Bristol, turned a
somersault on the Geneva Road about
one-half mile west of the city limits.
A Ford car owned by John Schnaufcr
was parked along on the concrete and
Molaski, falling to see it in time,
crashed into it with a result that the
Ford was hurled into the ditch and
the coupe turned completely ,>oy9r.
Occupants of both cars strangely
escaped serious injury. The sheriff's
Office was making an investigation
into the accident, with a probability
that an arrest would follow.

BIRKENHEAD GETS
NO BRITISH SYMP ATHY
London Papers Take Little Stock in
His American Attack on
Woodrow Wilson.
(By Agaociated Press Leased wire

London - The Earl Birkenhead has
received little sympathy from the
British press for the position in which
he finds himself as a result of the
first address Of his American tour de-
livefed last Friday evening before the
institute of politics at Williamstown.
In fact, the press tends to heap Goals
on the fire laid by Henry Breckin-
ridge, assistant, secretary of war un-
der President Wilson when he crit
icized the Earl for remarks about Mr..
Wilson.
The Morning Post asserts that the
effect of Birkenhead's injudicious re-
marks is tof4confrm the isolationists
in the wisdom of their policy of turn
ing their backs on Europe"
in an editorial headed "L' Enfant
Terrible Abroad" the Daily News says
that the British do not like the Am
erican tariff laws, but would welcome
an almost prohibitive tariff on the
importation of former members of
British cabinets and rigid customs
examination of the contents of their
lecture tour portfolios.
The Westminster Gazette hopes that
undue Importance will not be attach
ed to Birkenhead's words, asserting
that there are few politicians in
England today who, speaking so ex-
clusdvely for themselves as does Bir-
kenhead
The Westminster Gazette points out
the unfairness of arguing that Wood
row Wilson is the agent of the post
war conditions
Europe is what it is because of the
mistakes and misdeeds of those who
have actually influenced its develop
ment and who were by no means dis
posed to help Wilson when his power
was at its highest.
The Daily Herald, the labor news
paper, offers an opology for the ex-
chancellor, saying:
HE has long been regarded as a
national nuisance and has now become
a national danger"

Stage Old Fashioned
Runaway Saturday
Nick Michelski Suffers Slight Cut on
Forehead When Thrown
from Wagon

Nick Michelski, age 80, Pleasant
Prairie, treated Fremont avenue to an
old fashioned horse runaway late 90
Saturday afternoon. Nick was unable
to tell the police just what it was
that frightened the horse. He was
driving along just opposite the O'Neil
coal yard when suddenly the horse
broke into a gallop
At the intersection of Fremont
avenue and Strong street the wagon
bumped unceremoniously against a
truck. Nick left the wagon and landed
on his head. He suffered a slight cut
on the forehead.
Max Kramer's car was parked in
front of his home at 703 S. Fremont
avenue. The wagon struck this and
stuck fast. The harness broke and
the horse continued running for sew
eral blocks. A fender was torn off
the Kramer machine.

MILLIONS I'm GOLD
TAKEN FROM OCEAN
Nearly All of Gold Bullion Sunk with
the Laurentic is Re-
covered.

London-All except a few bars of
the thirty million dollars worth of
gold bullion w8ich dropped to the
ocean bed when a German submarine
sank the Laurentic off Donegale, Ire
land, have been recovered by divers,
who since 1918, have been carrying on
their labors ninety feet below the sur
face of the sea. The thirty bars re-
manning in the wreck, it is expected,
will be brought up within a fortnight.
In addition to the gold which was
consigned to American bankers, the
Laurentic was laden with almost five
million dollars in silver specie, most
ly in two shilling pieces, all of which
has been salvaged by the divers. The
men have been using a diving spear
with dial attached that shows wheth-
er the spear point is touching gold or
base metal such as iron.
The clock-like dial is kept aboard
the salvaging ship and is connected
with spear which is in the hands of
the diver working below the surface.
The hands move to the left of the
zero mark when the spear is prodded
against iron, copper or other such
metal, but when it touches gold, the
dial swings to the right. 1t vered
further when it came in contact with
an eighteen carat bar than when it
touched one of nine carats.
The apparatus was brought to the
attention of the admiralty in 1920 by
a college professor. Previous to that
time the divers in three years of labor
had recovered sos bars, but since the
galyanometer was brought into use
more than 2,100 have been brought to
the top, each bar being worth $4,000 to
$4,000 depending upon the standard of
the gold and dthe size Of the bar.
In the first years of the operation
the divers sent up the treasure in the
boxes in which they found them but
later these wooden chests rotted and
the bars have since been salvaged sep
arately.

Lawyers Receive Notice from Madison Today
That Hearing in Supreme Court Viii
be Held Friday, the 21st.
CANDLES BURN AS LAWYERS STUDY
Frank Symmonds and John Kuehnl Work Until a. zl.
Today Preparing Symmonds' Side Of Con-
5royersy-Barnett Brief Filed.

! side of the case, and one of then
humorously admitted that they were
under the lamp until 400 a. m. today
getting ready their case
The case is more than an election
contest to determine whether Barnett
or Symmonds has the legal right tc
hold Office of prosecutor for the
county, for the supreme court must
determine whether or not a qualified
elector who votes at the primaries is
entitled to have his ballot counted
By the decision of the circuit judge
voters who voted at the primaries
who did not have their names listed
on the registration list due to err
ror on the part of election officers
were disenfranchised
Stewart Brief Holds Error.
The brief of Stewart and Vaudreuil
assigns nine errors in the decision of
the circuit court, but most important
from the voters viewpoint is the one
given as Error No. six, as follows
"The court erred in holding illegal the
votes of qualified electors who had
voted at September 1922 primaries"
The brief for Morris Barnett quotes
tWenty-one cases of law illustrating
the rule quoted as follows: "The rule
seems to obtain that where an ir-
regularity in registration is due to
the act or default~of the registration
officers, the vote of the person so
irregularly registered will not be
rendered invalid unless there has been
an utter disregard of the law"
During the hearing of the case
there was no charge and no testimony
and no question whatsoever of the
integrity of the election officials, and
no fraud in the election was charged.
An opinion of Chief Justice Ryan
is quoted at length, sustaining the
contention of the Barnett attorneys
that a voter is not bound to see to
it that his name is placed on the
register of legal voters.
Opinion of Chief Justice.
The opinion reads in part: eff
failure or error in duty of the in
spectors of which voters have no no.
tice in fact could operate directly or
indirectly to disenfranchise voters at
the election, we should encounter the
same difficulty in sustaining the
statute under the constitution. Nom
feasance or malfeasance of public
officers could have no effect to i'm
pair personal vested constitutional
right"
AS the attorneys for Barnett go on
to state: "This is not technical; it
goes to the merits of the case; to
the voters constitutional right to have
his vote counted; to the foundation
of all political rights and the per-
petuity of democratic government
Meanwhile the decision of the SUI
preme court is looked to with inter
est for in addition to deciding the
rights of the voters, the court will
decide whether Barnett or Symmonds
is in fact district attorney. Morris
Barnett held the Office from January
1, 1928 until May 80, 1928, when he
was ousted by the decision of the cir
cult judge after hearing in quo
warranto with Frank Symmonds as
plaintiff or relator, and Symmonds
then became the district attorney,
holding Office at present.
