LITTLE RUMPUS
AT THE POLLS
Handing Out of Marked
Ballots Halted for Brief
Period Tuesday.
ORDER IS RESCINDED

Kenosha had very quiet election
day ON Tuesday with the exception Of
a crowded half hour late in the after
noon.
This crowded half hour came as the
result of an order, handed down for
only very short time, when it was
directed that the giving out of marked
ballots of any kind to voters ap-
preaching the polls should be discon-
tinued. Reports of the alleged trump
u.s. spread rapidly throughout the
city. growing as they spread, with a
result that a false report was cur
rent that there was small riot in
one of the voting places,
Here is what actually happened.
Police Give Orders.
Several people at each ward were
handing out marked ballots of various
kinds when all at once an order came
down to the policemen stationed in
each ward to put an end to this prac-
tice Immediately. At the police sta
tion it was later declared that the
order had been passed down as the re-
suit of the bidding of the district at
torney who held that the practice was
not in keeping with a certain ordin-
ance. 80
There was considerable consterna-
tion when the police announced the
order. Since the handing out of
marked ballots has been practiced for
many campaigns in Kenosha without
interference, many of those interest
ed in this work were ready to dispute
the point. Hardly had the dispute
started at the various wards when
another order was sent down counter
handing the first order and permit
ting the continuance of the distri-
button of the ballots or cards.
Cites Handful Ordinance.
One of the policemen in explaining
the ''ten-minute order" stated that it
was in keeping with handful rule
on the statute books, not generally
known to the police. This law de-
fined handful as anything which
could be blown away by the wind, as
the policeman said.
The storm of protest which arose
to the order quickly subsidized when
the countermanding order was sent
down and all went back to their places
just outside the 800 foot line from the
polls.

Reports Year of
Diversified Disasters

Washington. new American dis
aster record, including 7S5 deaths,
nearly 1000 persons injured and A.
damage of close to $45,000,000 has
given the Red Cross its busiest year
in relief operations.
Of the serious, disasters of the year
which closed July 1, 10 were fires, the
most serious being the $10,o00,0oO
Berkeley, Calf, confederation. There
were seven cyclones and IA tornadoes
the latter including one in northern
Ohio in June which killed 81 persons,
rendered $500 homeless and did prop.
erty damage estimated at $20,000,000;
and another in South Carolina in
April which took IA lives.
The cost of relief service which the
Red Cross and it's branches and chap
ters rendered to stricken communities
as shown in the Society's annual re-
port, was more than $7S7,600 A large
percentage of the disasters occurred
east of the Mississippi In territory
usually immune, notably the states OF
Maine, New York, Vermont, New Jer-
sey and Maryland.
A feature of the years relief work
was the establishment of a national
mobile disaster unit operating from
Red Gross national headquarters in
Washington, and supported by re-
serve of workers in nearly every
state. This unit has at it's disposal
the airplane facilities of the war
navy and post Office departments to
afford the quickest transportation in
emergencies.

Teacher Witness
to Sense of Justice

London-The record of Miss Mar
garet J. Williams, Richmond school
teacher, who has caned only one pupil
during a teaching career of 40 years,
is rather unique in this country
where pedagogues still accept the old
adage, spare the rod and spoil the
child"
When some kind of punishment be-
comes necessary Miss Williams usual
~ writes to the mothers and obtains
their consent before it is given. II
hardly ever do punish them" she
said, ''but when 1 do make it rule
to hear their side of the question first,
recognize that they have a side.
No one, you know, has so exact a
sense of justice as a child. And ]
always wait till my temper cools
down before I do anything"
