Insurance Man s
Uninsured Car Hit

William Tanker, Jr, of 1929 Park
avenue, Racine, is going to be an ideal
prospect for an automobile insurance
man. For years Tanker has been SELL
ing insurance against death, sickness
and accident, but when he purchased
a new Ford coupe last April he fell UNI
der the delusion that lightning
wouldn't hit him." He didn't insure
against theft.
Last night he was visiting friends
here in Kenosha and had his machine
parked at the corner of Park avenue
and Main street. About $3.50 p. m. he
heard someone attempting to start the
machine and looked out the window
just in time to see them disappear west
on South street.
Rushing out of doors he com
Wandered a passing machine and
headed down toward the South Sher-
id.an road at high speed, but apparent
ly the thief had taken another direc-
ton, or promptly lost himself in the
maze of streets on the west side.
Tanker reported the matter to the po-
lice and sheriff's departments.

Offer by Governor to Resign is An
swered by Increased Activity
for impeachment.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Plans for
an impeachment session of the state
legislature to convene tomorrow NOV
ed forward today, apparently undis-
turbed by the offer made last night
by Governor J. C. Walton to resign
if the legislature would pass a bill
which he has prepared to unmask the

"The legislature will not traffic with
the governor on legislation and there
by render him immune to the conse-
quences of his acts" Representative
McBee declared today. Governor
Waltons efforts to make a martyr of
himself by his offer to resign will in
no way affect plans of the legislature"
Mr.. McBee declared that house mem
bers will caucus tonight as planned and
that the organization of the house
will be complete when the session
opens tomorrow.
The governors friends asserted that
his offer of resigning would not be ig-
nored when the house comes face TO

proceed with the impeachment pro
gram or to take up the anti-Klan legis-
latioa,

many Kenosha industries and civic or
CARNATIONS have shown q real interest
in the coming conference and will send
a large delegation to Milwaukee from
this city to aid in making plans for
better harbor facilities in Wisconsin
cities.
Kenosha was represented in tho
group Of city leaders who issued the
call for the conference. City Mansgeri
c. M. Osborn, of Kenosha was mem
Der of the committee which issued the
call and arranged for the conferences.
This committee also laid the problems
before Governor Blaine with a resulej
that the latter made public on Tues-i
day his appointment of fifty cities
from various cities of the state to be
delegates at-large from the state to,
the coming conference.
Take Survey of Factories.
At The request of City Manager c.
M. Osborn, the Kenosha Manufacture
ers' association is making a survey OF
its membership, urging each large Ke-
nosha industry to send a representa-
tive to the conference. George NJ.
Whyte, president of the association,
has asked the members to furnish him
with information regarding the need
Of increased harbor facilities for Ke-
% Cor Ihe de',s3orgReat -0f ifsfastri
ere and this data viii no 63ubt be
presented to the conference. The qucs-
tionnaire sent to the members of the
association will also show what oppor-
tunities there are in Kenosha for the
increasing of lake transportation in
the event that better harbor facilities
we're available.
Answers which have thus far been
received to the questionable show
shat every industry has shown an in
terest in the conference.
Advancement Association Interested.
The North Side Advancement associ-
alton of Kenosha has also shown an
active interest in the conference. City
Manager Osborn has invited this asso-
citation and otaer civic organizations to
send delegates to the conference to ali
in the formation of plans for per-
manent organization.
The object of the Milwaukee confer
ence is two-fold; first, il is planned
that it will carry on the fight against
the lowering of the lake level by such
projects as the Chicago drainage canal,
on the basis that in time this can not
help but injure the existing harbor
facilities in Wisconsin cities; second,
to push claims for larger appropris-
tions for harbor development in vari-
Gus Wisconsin lake ports.
KenOsha Harbor Active.
During the past five years there has
been revival of lake shipping in Ke-
nosha and it is believed that the con-
ference in Milwaukee will serve as a.
further stimulant for lake traffic here
and throughout the state. Not only,
has the Hill Steamboat company large
~ increased its facilities for serving
the shipping interests in Kenosha, but
in the past three years at least two
other large transportation companies
have placed Kenosha as a port on it's
lines, bringing added reason for Ke-
nosha to take every step to safeguard
its harbor facilities.
Other cities which are showing an
interest in the lake conference are Mil
waukee, Racine, Green Bay, Manitowoc
and Superior.

WEBB READY TO
FACE GRAND JURY
No Poison Found in Body of Gertrude
German Webb Two Weeks After
Her Death Is Testimony.

White Planes, N. Y.-The metallic
poisoning found in Mrs. Gertrude Cor
man Webbs body after her death was
not found when an analysis was made
two weeks earlier. This was made
known for the first time last night
by DR.. William j. Meyer, who said
that he had ordered an examination
on September II, which proved mega
tive. After Mrs. Webb's death, an
analysis performed by Psychologists
showed poison had been in the body,
though in quantities insufficient to
cause death without contributory
causes.
The knowledge narrowed the grand
jury investigation down to question
when the poison was introduced.
DR.. Meyer, who refused to sign a
death certificate ON the ground that
death was not due to natural causes,
said he had told the grand jury that
the first analysis had shown no poison
in the wealthy society woman's body.
He explained the negative test by say
ing that Mrs. Webb's organs had ceas-
ed to excrete the poison at the time
DR.. Smith had made his examination.
Charles H. Webb, the husband, has
expressed his willingness to appear
before the grand jury today, but he
possibly may not be called until next
Monday.

Zoning Ordinance Up for
Passage at First Meet
ing in November.
SOME ZONING CERTAIN
Adoption of Basic Plans for
Zoning Is Certain Says
City Manager.

Definite action on the proposed
coming ordinance for the city of ke-
nosha will be taken at the first meet
ing of the city council in the month OF
November, according to the announce
mcnt made this morning by City Man
ager C. NJ Osborn. 1t was stated
that it would be impossible Tor the
council to give thorough considera-
ton to all of the suggestions made at
the hearings in time for the ordin-
ance to be presented for passage at
the meeting on next Monday evening,
bat that special meeting Of the coun-
ci!, sitting as. committee of the
whole would be called for one evening
of next week to start the work OF go
ing over the ordinance with all of
these suggestions in mind.
City Manager Osborn expressed his
opinion that the hearing had shown
clearly that coming was needed and
wanted in Kenosha and that the only
questions raised were in regari to
working out the details of the zoning
ordinance.
"Not one of the suggestions fled at
the hearings attacked the basic prin-
ciples of coming" declared City Man
ager Osborn. each one of them was
in regard to the working out of de-
tails and many of them are sugges-
tions which will be most helpful in
aslending the ordinance. III my opif
ion the hearings demonstrated that the
people are in accord with coming
plan for Kenosha and it seems alto
gether likely that the city council will
pass the coming ordinance in some
form"
1t was added that each and every
one of the suggestions made at the
hearings would be given the closest
consideration and that the zoning or
dinance as it emerged from the com
mittee meeting to be laid before the
council for passage might have many
changes.
