Suggest Park for
West Side District
Petitioners Ask Council to Buy Part
of Hannah Tract for Park
Purposes.

A petition signed by several hundred
property owners and residents Of the
west side district of the city was pre-
scented to the city manager this morn
ing urging the council to consider the
purchase of park tract for that sec
ton of the city located west of the
North Shore electric railway and north
of the Kenosha Division tracks of the
Chicago and Northwestern railway.

ment is now on foot for the purchase
of the Pennoyer tract north of the
city limits and suggests that inasmuch
as there are now located >on the north
side of the city two parks-Washing-
@on park and Union park-thSt some
consideration should be given to the
securing of park privileges for resi-
dents of the extreme western part of
the city.
1t is suggested that a portion of the
tract known as the Hannah property,
eighteen acres in all, could be secured.
This tract has ten acres of timber

VERDICT in RICE
CASE in DOUBT
Jury Makes Finding, Which
Both Sides Claim as
a Victory.
CASE TAKES A WEEK.

After celebrating for ten hours a
circuit court jury returned a special
verdict in the legal battle over APP
proximately $4,000 between the Stock
Yards Savings bank of Chicago, and
Charles H. Rice, wealthy Chicago COM
mission merchant. The jury took the
case at $3.50 o'clock Saturday after
noon, returning the decision at 1880
on Sunday morning.
The attorneys in the case differ as
to the question of which side has won
the verdict. There are still many
points of law to be considered by
the judge, and in consequence the
entire outcome of the case is more
or less in doubt.
Verdict Is Divided.
The jury held, in answering one 81
the questions in the special verdict,
held that two of the seven checks
were not handled by the bank in good
faith, and that the bank is entitled
to recover on fire of them.
Attorneys for the bank maintain
that the checks are all included in one
transaction and on this claim intend
to introduce a motion sustaining the
banks claim throughout and asking
the court to set aside that part Of
the verdict unfolding the claim of
the defendant on two checks. This is
to be the next step in the litigation
over the big sum involved in the suit.
While no decision was asked of the
jury relative to the money, the finding
of fact intitles Rice to about 100000,
it was stated today. The jury found
that five of the seven checks the own
ership of which was in dispute, were
good and that Rice was entitled to
payment on them by the bank
The court battle, which was brought
to Kenosha county's jurisdiction when
the bank attacked two of the commits
sion mans farms in the town of Bris-
toll, was one of the most bitterly con-
tested actions which has been seen
here for many months. More than a
score of witnesses, including bank Of
ficials, were summoned to take the
stand during the week that testimony
was being taken. The suit started
last Monday, and in order to get the
last of the testimony to the jury
by Saturday night required rapid ac-
tion ON Saturday.
Judge to Make Finding.
Judge Risjord of Ashland, who sat
on the bench during the trial, return
ed home late Saturday to study the
case further and to make findings,
which it is believed, will be returned
here during the next two weeks.
A brilliant display of legal talent
was seen throughout the trial. Mr..
Rice was defended by Buckmaster and
Hammond, and Jay Slough Of Chicago;
while the banking concerns interests
were handled by Randall Cava1agh
and Mittelstaed, by the Chicago firm
of Winston, Strawn and Shaw, and the
Milwaukee firm of Miller, Mack and
Fairchild. q

Washington-Th campaign to drive
Secretary Mellon out of the cabinet got
away to a limping start today in the
senate. No sooner had the resolution
questioning Melons legal qualifica-
tions come UP for debate than the Re-
publican organization directed vigor-
Gus fire against it while Democratic
chieftains went into series, of confer
ences on the wisdom of recognizing the
resolution as a party measure.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, re-
turning to Washington after an absence
of several days, immediately diselaimed
responsibility for the move to have the
treasury secretaryis business connec-
tions inquired into, initiated last Fri
day by Senator Mcclellan, Dem ocrat of
Tennessee.
Democrats Not United.
There plainly was a difference of
opinion among the Democrats as to the
a1pediSncy of keeping the Mcclellan
resolution ahead of pressing legislalti on
as a subject of senate discussion. SEN
ator Robinson, who said the resolution
had been introduced without his knowl-
edge, quickly canvassed sentiment on
the Democratic side, while Senator
Reed, Republican Of Pennsylvania, was
selling the senate that Mellon had as
sumed office after he had been assured
by the late Philander G.. Knox and 9TH
er legal authorities that there was nc
barrier.
Mr. Mellon had been advised of the
old statute prohibiting treasury
secretary, from engaging in Grade or
commerce, Senator Reed said, and had
endeavoredl to evade cabinet service
on the strength of these restrictions.
The late senator Knox of Pennsylvan-
ia, former attorney general and sec
rotary of state was consulted and had
the law examined by. a firm OF. Wash
ington lawyers, who on January 20,
1921, gave an opinion that there was
nothing in the ownersh p IF stock in
various corporations to disquahfy Mr..
Mellon from holding the efiice of Sec
rotary of the treasury,
This opinion, at the request of SEN
ator Overman, Democrat, Moth Caro-
lima, was read to the Senate.

cate William Boyce Thompson, form

mittee today by the Senate sergeant

Thompson was among the witnesses
listed-to appear this week IN regard to

George White of Ohio, former chair

CLOSE RACES in
COMING ELECTION
Interest in Election Grows
as Result Of Eleventh
Hour Developments.
STAY HOMES" FACTOR

Keen interest in the election which
is to be held in Kenosha and Kenosha
county tomorrow developed at the 18th
hour today when close races loomed
up as a possibility in the contests Tor
various offices on the city ticket and
also on the state ticket for delegates
to the national conventions of the Re
publican and Democratic parties!
Several of the candidates over the
weekend unloosed their last hour
campaigns revealing that real fights
are to be ma6e fer several of the 9TH
ces to be filled by the election.
Much of the interest in the city OF
Kenosha is centering in the contest
for the election of three councllmen-
at-large. Four candidates are in the
feld-W. H. Afford, H. E. Barden and
John Burns, all members of the pres
ent council and seeking reelection, and
Martin Schmidt, whose name was writ
ten in at the recent primary.
Since the primary Martin Schmidt
has made a most active campaign
which eliminated on Saturday with
the posting of campaign posters and
the distribution of campaign cards.
This has increased the interest in
this angle of the election.
Considerable interest has also de-
veloped in many Of the wards over the
election of school supervisors and
members of the county board and sew
eral close, races are expected for these
offices.
| All candidates have now Joined for
ces to get a representative vote out at
the election, emphasizing the fact that
the stay-at-homes" who falsely be-
lieve that the election is not import
ant may be the determining factor.
A last call was being issued today to
| all voters to make sure that they go
to the polls tomorrow and exercise
their franchise in the election. Clubs
and civic organizations both for men
and women hoped into the campaign
today with a determination to get as
MANY voters as possible out on Tues
4 day.
Likewise interest has also developed
in the election of delegates to the Re-
publican National convention. The
| first district appears to be the> most
1
closely contested in Wisconsin be-
tween the Coolidge and LaFollette del
/ egates and bitter fight is being wag-
ed in the entire district between these
/ forces.
A question has arisen over the num-
Der of the delegates at large; the Coo
Ridge faction has placed in nomination
large while the LaFollette forces claim
! four for the places as delegates at
that seven delegates at large are to be
named. In addition the voters are to
select two delegates from this dis
| tEict.
Much interest seems also to have de-
yeloped in the selection of Democratic
convention delegates, there being q
close race on between the McAdoo for
! ces and those supporting the candi-
dacy of Governor Smith of New York
Voters should remember that from
national standpoint the lection which
takes place in Wisconsin tomorrow is
Just as important as the elections
which have just been held in the Da-
kotas and that it is imperative fol
that reason that voters should take an
interest in the election.
