INVENTORS SHOP
INTERESTS MANY
Young Xenosha Inventor
Has Shop Located on the
Burlington Road.
DELVES INTO RADIO

Out on North Maplewood avenue,
near the point where the pavement
ends, is a strange little one-story
building set way back at the end of
a lot. To the neighbors, who view it
with some wonderment, it is known as
a machine shop" because, perhaps,
some have had peeps inside and there
have seen both strange and common
pieces OF machinery. To their greater
surprise, however, are the unusual
and unbusiness like hours of work
kept by it's occupants, many times
lights being seen burn late into the
night and then no sign Of activity
during the day.
What it really is, and what ac-
counts for all this, has been kept
much from being generally known
more or less because it is not a COM
mercial enterprise at this time. 1t is
the experimental laboratory and shop
of Roy A. Pelishek, Burlington road, a
young engineer and inventor. Associ-
ated with Mr.. Pelishek is his brother
Harold, who is with the meter testing
department of the General Electric
company in Chicago.
Mr.. Pelishek has had an interesting
technical career. After taking several
engineering courses at the School of
Engineering of Milwaukee a number of
years ago, he entered the employ of
the Western Electric company, work
ing sometime at their big Chicago
plant and later being sent out in the
field. Here in eastern cities he did
special testing work on the electrical
machinery used in connection with the
installation of automatic telephone
systems, Bell installations of which
are more common in the east than in
the central west.
More recently he was employed by a
Chicago firm of high tension equip
ment manufacturers as an electrical
designer and in whose employ he
spent nearly o year designing a giant
electrical liquid break switch for
handling current at voltage of 1907
600. Here in Kenosha, which is the
home of his parents, he has done cleo
troplating work. The particular fields
his attention has been turned to in
work at his shop have been electrical
and radio. He has employed a princi-
pie, which subsequently he learned
was quite well-known, in the design
of small practical rectifer, device
for converting ordinary alternating
current supplied to homes to direct
current suitable for charging storage
batteries or lighting filiments in ra-
do vacuum tubes Another particular
interest of his is the Improvement Of
radio loud speakers. In this he is
again applying principle, known but
net heretofore used, to the design and
construction Of talker, which he
thinks will be free from much of the
distortion of present day commercial
horns.
Mr.. Pelishek explains that his work
now is by no means extensive nor is
his laboratory completely finished, but
he hopes for great things in the
future. He is an associate of the In
Institute Of Radio Engineers, a member
of the American Radio Relay League,
y and a member and former officer Of
B the Milwaukee Radio Amateurs club,
Inc.

statement, q prominent Kenosha physl-
clan will probably be arrested within
the next 4S hours on charges of hav-
ing performed an illegal operation.
The charge, it is believed, will be man
slaughter.
Investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the death of Harriet
Walska, 20 years old, who for four
years had been employed as nurse
at the Willowbrook sanitarium, at Mil
waukee late yesterday, was started
early today by Morris Barnett, district
attorney.
Miss Walske died late yesterday at
the Milwaukee Maternity and General
hospital from septicaemia following
an illegal operation. Death sealed
her lips just after she had named the
Kenosha physician but before she
could tell the name of the Chicago
man who had betrayed her. He state
ment was made to Roland Steinle, as
sistant district attorney of Milwaukee
county, and was taken by court
stenographer.
Notified Morris Barnett.
The Milwaukee county official inn
mediately got in touch with Mr.. Bar
nett by long distance wire and brisfly
told him what had happened. Mr.
Steinle stated that he was forwarding
all the papers in the case to the Ke-
,nosha county prosecutor for his &C
ton These papers are expected to
arrive some time today. Mr.. Barnett
stated that he would take action as
soon as he had an opportunity to COM
plete his investigation, providing the
evidence submitted to him warranted
criminal prosecution.
The case was first brought to the
attention of the Milwaukee county au-
thorities when Estella Berg, superin-

hospital informed Mr.. Steinle that
they had a very suspicious case under

STRUCK BY CAR
Helen Marie Meyer Killed
in Front of Simmons
Ball Park.
YOUTH DRIVING CAR
Mother Who Witnessed Acct
dent Exonerates Sixteen
Year Old Driver.

Helen Marie Meyer, three years and
five months old, was almost instantly
killed this morning at 1l:15 a. m.
before the eyes Of her horrified
mother, when she left her play in the
yard of the Meyer home just across
from the Simmons baseball park and
ran into the street and in the path OF
a car driven by Bruno Kleeb. The child
died on the way to the hospital whittier
she was taken by the driver.
Helen is the youngest child of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Meyer. Her father
has tire shop at 1877 Park street and
the family lives on the west side OF
South Sheridan road, across from the
ball ground.
Mother Watches Child.
This morning after eleven o'clock.
Mrs. Meyer was out in the yard and
her small daughter played about her.
While her mother was busy the little
girl followed her own impulses which
lead her presently into the front OF
the house and towards the street
When the mother looked up she saw

words were UNDECIDED. Probably the
child did not hear, her attention dis
tracted by the street noises. The
mother ran after the child, and came
just in time to see the small tot run
out into the cement highway and in
the path of Ford touring car.
The car going north struck the child
just at the ticket gate. The dazed
driver came to a stop as quickly as
he could but skidded somewhat in the
tar upon the highway. The mother
picked up the suffering little body.
Bruno Kleeb, 16, was the driver OF
the Ford, driving for his father
Adolph Kleeb, Route 1, Box 1. The
youth was going, he said, at the rate
of about fifteen miles an hour.
The mother carried the body in her
arms and Bruno fastened with both
to the Kenosha hospital. The child
died on the way.
Exonerates the Driver.
Mrs. Meyer in the midst of her. own
grief found time for the suffering OF
others. Turning to the police in the
hospital today she spoke words OF
exoneration for the sixteen year old
lad who had been the involuntary in
strument of the child's death. She
said that as Helen ran directly in
the path of the car, the accident was
unavoidable.
Coroner T. T. Parker was summoned
at the hospital by Secretary Meissner
and Motorcycle officer Melbusch, who
had charge of the case for the police
prior to the coroner's arrival.

Meet Chief of
Police PiedOt

Meet Chief of Police Ted Piedot.
He is assistant scout master every
day, but just today he is chief of
police. Friday evening he came down
to police headquarters for some pre-
liminary instructions which were CIV
en- him right willingly by Assistant
Chief Cyzak.
zone Of your hardest tasks" said
Mr.. Cyzak, twill be in being just. Try
to treat all with equal courtesy. You
will find that often behind the spread
ing waistcoat and flushed look of the
man of prosperity beats a heart that
is unfaithful, a man who cannot be
trusted, while the fellow who come in
rough workman's clothes looks you
squarely in the eye, and you know he
will keep his promises. This is not
always true, but policemen learn that
human nature is a strange thing, and
yet we come to believe in it, and be-
lieve in human kindness and goodness.
Give everybody a square deal my lad.
You'll make mistakes, as we do some
times, but if you try for justine and
try for the square deal, in the long
run it works out for the BEST"
Chief Piedot was surrounded this
+morning by his staff. A woman came
in to see the chief, and the chief
FASTENED to remind his general staff
that chairs were not to be occupied by
boys or men while there was a wo-
man standing. Roosevelt, a one-time
heap big scout, taught that lesson to
more than one group of men, and the
scout chiefs courtesy was as instinct
i've.
Chief Piedot appointed Chef Hurley
as desk sergeant, Clinton Zimmerman
as chief of the raiding squad who
are Peter Pingatore, Nathan Pope
and Francis Barber, and Harold Gaff-
ron as secretary of police to relieve
Emil Meissner. On the ambulance
were placed John Preska and Tony
Serpe as assistants to Officer William
Long Their first call was to go out
and shoot cat. Edward Kolpin, Cliff
ford Jackson, Andrew Rutchik and
Henry Newhouse were sent out on pa
troll duty. Newhouse was detailed to
motorcycle patrol. riding in the side
car with the big brother of the regu-
lar police.
Big brothers could not help but
smile on little brothers, and little
brothers smiled back; but nevertheless
they applied themselves seriously to
their tasks and mingled cheerfulness
with attention to their new duties.

SHERIFF FINDS
FUGITIVE HERE
Pabst and Knipfer Pick
Up Man Thought to
be Insane.
is WANTED UP STATE

For several days Sheriff Pabst has
been wondering who in Sam Hill M.
B. Ramey might be. The man was
locked up safely in the Jail uarters
but his behavior was strange, and
there were scraps of conversation
which suggested that he had past"
This morning when the sheriff OF
Niagara county, Wisconsin, called up
on the sheriff of Kenosha county, the
latter learned that Ramey was wanted
at Niagara on the charge of pointing
dangerous weapon, to wit revolver,
at his wife Thursday, April "a.
Picked Up Last Tuesday.
The arrest of Ramey was made by
Sheriff Pabst and Undersheriff Knipfer
last Tuesday morning. The sheriff's
Office had a call at 1900 a. m. to come
to Balm station, as there was said to
be man raving there who frightened
the neighborhood. To turn out at
100 a. m. is nothing nowadays to the
sheriff and he and Joseph Knipfer
responded at once, to the call.
They had some difficulty in handling
Ramey, the dangerous character point
ed out to them, and all the way back
to Kenosha found that he was hand
full. Ramey insisted that there was
somebody in back of the car trying
to take a shot at him. Once in the
jail Ramey did not feel secure. He
was still convinced that there was
somebody cover there against the wall
getting ready to shoot"
Thought 1t Was Moonshine.
''Too much of the moon," sighed the
sheriff and the undersheriff agreed.
They had both seen them before, raw
ing with moon madness, that subsidies
when the moonshine fumes are given a
chance to evaporate from the brain.
But Ramey improved only slightly.
He gave his name and his address as
Niagara, but for the rest told dis
connected story of some one who had
run off with his wife and who was try
ing to shoot him. His wife, Ramey
said, had turned around and given
''that man Davis" little lead in the
arm.
Meanwhile Sheriff Pabst had wired
the Niagara sheriff, received a wire in
return asking that Ramey be held, as
there was warrant FOR him, and this
morning the upstate sheriff arrived.
He explained that Ramey had been a
fugitive since last Thursday when he
had made an assault upon his wife
with a gun, and that the charge pend
ing against him was pointing a dam
gerous weapon with intent to kill"
The Niagara sheriff left Kenosha on
the 1910 train this morning with
Ramey in custody. The sheriff's Office
here received the impression that it
was case of plain dementia rather
than mixed moon, before Ramey left,
but were none the less glad to have
his case taken from them.
