Find Horse That
Figured in Accident
Animal That May Have Been Implicat-
ed in Death of Leland Harris on
Monday Night Is Found.

A horse belonging to Kenosha
dairy company which had been given
a vacation" and farmed out to the
Robert Rasmussen farm on the Mil
waukee road near the intersection Of
the Geneva road, and which may have
been the animal implicated I'M the ac-
cident on Monday night which resulted
in the death of Leland Harris of Ke-
the neighborhood yesterday. The ami
NAL was returned to the farm.
There are several bruises on the
front legs of the horse and several
theories were advanced as to the prob
able causes of these. No witnesses
have yet been discovered who saw the
accident in which the Kenosha war
veteran met his death. One of the
theories advanced by the sheriff's Of
fee is that Harris, after seeing the
horse dart out on Athe road suddenly,
veered aside and in so doing skidded
and was thrown from his motorcycle,
crashing into the curb of the highway
or an iron post nearby. One theory
holds that in trying to dodge the
horse he struck it glancing blow and
it may have been in this maner that
the injuries to the horse can be attri-
buted. Another theory points out that
the horse may have been caught in a
barbed wire fence while roaming
around in the pasture fields on the
Rasmussen farm, and becoming fright
ened, jumped over and out pn the
highway.
1t may be that the exact manner in
which Harris met his death will never
be known. District Attorney Morris
Barnett and Coroner Truman T. Parker
have held that an inquest into the
circumstances has not been necessary,
there being no indication of any rea-
son for suspicion, of FOUL play in
the accident.

Promises to Help
Feeble Minded
Governor Blaine Outlines His Plan to
Help Feeble Minded and
Imbeciless of the State.

Barron, Establishment of a
state system of colonization for feeble
minded, imbeciles and other state
wards as the main solution of the
present problem of such persons, was
advocated by Governor Blaine in a
campaign address here, today. Plans
already are being worked out by the
board of control for such system,
the executive said.
"The increase. in the number of
freeble- minded, imbeciles and epilep-
sizes has challenged the attention of
those departments dealing with such
cases." the executive said "To build
Institutions costing millions of dollars
does not meet the problem, either
of the taxpayer or the Individual
unfortunately affected with mental
deficiency
ITO meet the situation, we have en-
tered upon program of putting fee
bleminded institutions in such condi-
ton and providing such capacity as
may be necessary for that type of
cases which must be given custodial
care. For the higher Trade of cases,
there, has been proposed colonization
pldH operating, as ldI as pIdCIlCal,
through the present county institu-
tions. There are thirty-six counties
maintaining institutions suitable for
colonization purposes. 1t would mean
great economy for the state to enter
into arrangements with such counties
to care for that type of mental de-
fectives who may be subject to a
colonization plan, and pay the coun-
ties accordingly.
"Such a plan, when put into effect,
will save the state millions of dollars
in. state buildings and administration.
Moreover, those counties that will
undertake cooperative arrangements
with the state will be reimbursed by
the state.
>"To minimize the number of feeble
minded and mental detectives is a
problem not only for the state, but
also for the communities, This prob
lem must be met and solved by the
health agencies of the state and
localities"
The plan proposed by the governor
was advocated by DR.. w. F. Lorenz of
the state board of control at the re-
cent state social welfare conference
at Green Bay.

crowded to capacity as soon as the
doors were opened, and more than a
hundred late arrivals were hcrded
by baliffs out of the corridors and
down stairs.
Mr.. Marshall picked up the thread
of his argument by giving list of
executions in Cook county in which
youthful criminals paid the extreme
penalty.
Mr.. barrow interrupted the list to
point out an instance in which he said
that the court had changed the jury's
sentence of death to imprisonment.
"You will have plenty of oppor-
tunity to. reply to this argument,
suggested Mr.. Grove.
Mr.. barrow followed the reading by
Mr.. Marshall on duplicate thypewrit-
ten list, Leopold and Loeb leaning for
ward to watch his pencil move down
the sheet. Another undertone remark
by Mr.. barrow brought a second pro-
test from States Attorney Grove.
II object to these Interruptions and
insist that Mr.. Marshall be allowed to
continue hi sargument,"a he said.
The chief defense counsel explained
he was trying to help the speaker get
ages and dates correctly.
The list showed sixteen men ranging
from IS to &c years had been hanged

Hirst In Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, visa survey of state
government, to determine what
branches are useless or not perform
mug their work and what branches
are expending too much public money,
was advocated by A. r. Hirst, Re-
publican candidate for governor, in
an address here today He said this is
the only way in which state expendi-
lures can be reduced to "a proper
level.
Government is business, of the
highest type, dealing not only with
profits, but with the welfare, safety,
health and lives of its citizens" Mr..
Hirst stated The two chief things to
be determined then are: what func-
tions shall each of these units of
government attempt to perform and
how much will be spent in carrying
out these functions.
"To determine these two questions
we must get the facts and determine
them on fact basis. The great trou-
BILE today is that we are not determ-
lining public problems on fact basis,
that we are being misled by phrases
and promises and the only purpose
seems to be to say something, or at
tempt to do something, or pretend to
do something which will get the vote.
"What we need in Wisconsin is a
calm and dispassionate survey of con-
ditions to determine what we shall do
and what we shall spend on it, to neg
lect no function that is necessary, but
to cut off unnecessary functions and
to reduce unnecessary expenses. 1t
has been amusing to hear the boast
Of large balance in the state treas
ury. Of course, this balance came out
of taxes which means that it came
out of the taxpayers pockets. If it is
needed to carry on certain state work,
there is nothing to boast of. If it is
not needed, your pockets are being
emptied and the taxes are being
levied which are not necessary"
Mr.. Hirst said it is generally agreed
that taxes are too high and he pro-
posed immediate steps to reduce such
taxes if he is elected. The cost of
state government, he said, has been
continually since the war although
they should have been reduced.
