'SCHNEE' KEEPS
SPEEDERS GAY
Bunches of Them Brought
in by City Motorcycle
Cops on Sunday.
SERGEANT HOLDS EN-

Don't think for a minute that all
the speeders that are arrested are
brought in by Deputy Sheritfs NICK
Otto, Steve Robinson, Stanley Rauen
and Chef Bostetter.
Why haven't you been on the street
and seen one of the boys in white
cap leading in a pesky little car with
reluctant driver inside headed for
the city hall .Sand police office, Just
where he didn't want to go? That was
city motorcycle cop, member Of the
Kenosha police force, and they are
bringing in speeders every day.
Too Fast for the Sergeant.
But Sunday night around ten o'clock
Sergeant Frank Schneeberger thought
the police officers on motorcycles were
bringing them in too fast. There was
swarm Of speeders in the Office,
swarming like bees in May, all angry
and all talking at once.
'One at a time, please, one at a
time!" beseeched the sergeant.
One woman wanted to leave her cape,
for bond, but the sergeant said,
"This is no shop for second hand wear
ing apparel" Another said he had a
sick baby at home. Another said he
had not a dollar to his name and GER
tainly couldn't be expected to spend
the night in Jail on such charge, and
didn't want to leave his car and walk
home either.
"You must think I'm one of those
walking delegates at the convention"
he said.
But All Get Booked.
Andrew Jaeger, Chicago, arrested by
Police officer Chase for speeding "a
miles an hour on Milwaukee avenue,
was arrested at 9:40 p. m. Sunday. He
and another were in Ford car. Jae-
ger expected the sergeant to recognize
the. card of the Illinois Motorists as
ISOLATION and release him, but "Schnee"
said Nothing doing, my son."
E. w. Getchell, 612 Sixth street,
Racine, arrested by Officer Rohde for
speeding IS miles an hour on Milwau-
kee avenue, Sunday evening, told the
sergeant that this was the way they
rode in Racine and, that Kenosha was
all wrong. He said he'd fight the
case. He offered a check for bonds,
but the sergeant refused to accept it.
Finally Getchell and four fellows with
money. Getchell wanted the sergeant
him scrapped together and dug up the
to take fifteen dollars bonds but the
sarge was finn. 2
George Lawrence of Chicago, arrest
ed by officer Chase, proved gentle
man. A dignifed person of silver hair,
he did not dispute his arrest with the
police. He said he had been up north
two weeks and was anxious to get
back home. His car was full Of
branches and specimens from the
woods. He was unable to furnish bonds
but the sergeant took his word, as it
bore the stamp of sincerity.
Albert J. Branch was arrested by
Officers Chase and Rohde at Las a. m.
today for speeding on Milwaukee aven-
ue He will be brought into court
later.
Frank Katzin, 2131s independence
boulevard, Chicago, arrested by Of
icer Rohde for speeding thirty miles
an hour on Milwaukee avenue at 1880
Sunday night, talked to the sergeant
an hour about his case. He could
talk the knob off safe, that Teller.
He offered the sergeant five dollars,
then ten dollars if he would let him
go, tits said He was the one who said
in the beginning that he did not have
dollar to his name, and say, did they
expect him to leave his car and walk
home? Finally he dug up twenty
dollar bill, which perhaps he had for
gotten that he had, and threw it on
the desk as bonds and departed.
