STEVENS TO RUN
FOR REELECTION
George S. Stevens, Present
Clerk of Courts, Makes
Announcement.
REGIME IS EFFICIENT

George S. Stevens, clerk of circuit
court, today announced his intention
of entering the race to succeed HIM
self in the coming fall election. lie
will run on the Republican ticket, and
will take out nomination papers in the
near future, he said.
Stevens, who was named for the
office on his first political venture in
the election in 1922, has won favor
able recognition from the Kenosha
bar for his efficient handling of the
office Of clerk of courts. Stevens de-
feated Ben DeDiemer, who had held
the Office for many years.
At the last election, Stevens, who
had several years of wartime service
to his credit, polled heavy vote.
After his installation in Office, he made
several changes in the system, which
made for the more efficient handling
of the court records.
Whether a Democratic candidate
will be brought who will be able to
give Stevens contest is problemat-
ical. However, present indications are
that he will be alone in the field.

WILLENIS' HAT
SHE'D INTO RING
Frank ''Baldy" Willems is
Out as Democratic Can
didate for Sheriff.
PAPERS OUT TODAY

TIE political pot continues to SIM
mer in Kenosha county and a new sort
of a candidate came out into the open
this morning when Crank "Baldy" Will
lens announced that he was candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for sheriff. Mr.. Willems is the first
of the members Of the Democratic
party to formally shy his castor into
the political ring.
He is not newcomer to the polit-
ical game as he was the Democratic
candidate for sheriff in the election of
1922 and rolled up the largest vote
given to any of the Democratic can
didates.
Widely known in County.
"Baldy" Willems is widely known in
the city and county and the announce
ment of his candidacy was the most
interesting development of the polit-
ical situation in Kenosha for the day.
He has never held public Office and
was never candidate for Office until
he took the try for sheriff two years
ago.
The formal announcement of his
candidacy is expected to start things
going in the Democratic camp and
bring out the other primary candi-
dates.

Langness Appeals
Justice Decision
Lower Court Gave Celia McDevitt,
Eighteen ear-OId Girl Hero,
Damages of $40.

An appeal has been taken from q
justice court decision of $3.50 in favor
Of Celia McDevitt, IS years old, Of 622
South Fremont street, by |Nels Lang
ness. The papers were filed in circuit
court late yesterday.
Miss McDevitt was struck by Lang
ness car on the night Of March 4th
when she and girl companion were
crossing Main street st Market square.
According to the testimony given in
the lower court, Miss McDevitt risked
her own safety to push her companion
out Of the path Of the machine which
was coming south or Main street. She
was struck and dragged for short
distance, suffering a broken ankle. She
was confined at St. GATHERINGS hospital
for five weeks and through Attorney
John F. Kuehnl sued for $500.
At the trial Langness contended that
her lingering in the path Of his car to
shove the other girl to safety was con-
triibutory negligence on the part Of
Miss McDevitt, but Justice Wade held
that bravery could not be construed as
negligence. It was also testified that
Langness did not blow his horn.

KenOsha Man Has
Troubles i'm Racine
Paul Woetowicz Halted in Racine But
Proves His Innocence of Any
Wrong Doing.

Paul Woetowicz, 1181 Selma avenue,
Kenosha, was in all sorts of trouble
Tuesday in Racine. In the first place
he was mixed up in wreck in which
one of his hands was badly cut and
his machine smashed. Then he was
escorted to the police station to ex-
plain matters, but when everything
was explained to the satisfaction OF
the police he continued on his re-
turn trip to the home town.
Paul was on his way to Milwaukee, 1t
being his duty to deliver roll of film
in that city. He was driving north
in the Kilbourn road when, near the
south limits Of Milwaukee, car came
from q cross road and came directly
into his path. In order to avoid strik-
ing the machine Paul applied the
brakes to his car with the result that
it skidded against concrete curb at
that point and doubled up, wreck.
Paul was bleeding from the wound
on his hand and there were many
painful bruises on his back, but he
did not forget the errand on which
he had embarked. The driver Of the
other car sped on and did not pay
the least attention to Paul who Sc
cured the services of another auto
mobihst who took him to Milwaukee,
delivered the roll of picture films and
saw that he was given first aid at the
Emergency hospital there. Then he
started back to Kenosha with Paul,
but he got only as far as Racine.
Stories of the wreck on the Kill
bourn road came to Racine and a des-
cription of the car in which Paul was
riding on his way back to Kenosha was
given Patrolman Fisher with the re-
suit that the car was stopped and es-
corted to the police station when it ar
rived in Fifth street. An explanation
Of the case at the station resulted in.
Paul being permitted to continue his
trip to Kenosha.

/ PERSONS WEEKLY
Report of City Planning
Commissions Experts
Shows Statistics.
OFFERS SUGGESTIONS.

If you feel that you lost two pounds
this noon getting on the street car on
the way home for lunch and then lost
another two pounds trying to wadge
through the crowd to get off at your
destination-you had plenty of com
pany How serious these losses IN
avoirdupois were it is hard to say, but
the facts were just made known that
approximately $4,000 persons ride the
Kensoha street cars each week. The
number of passengers carried per day
is SAT- for an average weekday.
These and a great many other figures
are quoted in the preliminary report
of the City Planning Commissions en-
gineers, Earl o.. Mills and L. D. Til
ton, just submitted to the Kenosha
committee.
The Office mathematical genius has
figured that if each of Kenosha's host
of street car riders were to stand side
by side, arms extended, the line would
reach from the corner of Market and
Main streets to the spot in Madison
Square Garden where the delegate from
Alabama to the Democratic National
convention is seated. And there would
be enough men left over to fill up the
vacant spaces in that part of the line
which would go through such towns
that are known as "more or less" wet.
A large majority of the people who
patronize Ford's chief competitors in
Kenosha, the report declares, use the
Elizabeth street and Milwaukee ave-
nue. line. The number of passengers
carried per typical day on that line
is 5000, averaging 1877 per trip. Cine
report fails to describe the ailment OF
the z passenger.)
Fus Lines Active.
The Market street lines carryAOIN
greatest number of passengers with
7sO per day; Grand avenue is next
with 745; Sheridan road, $50; Nc
Whyte, 1877 passengers per day. The
bus lines which have proven such a
boon to extension traffic in the city
combined carry 1876 passengers each
average day.
The total single track mileage in the
city is 7.S miles, according to the re-
port, and with the exception of several
lengths of double track located on
Main street and Milwaukee avenue, the
entire system consists of single track
and sidings.
The report also outlines series OF
recommendations which the engineers
will offer to the City Planning COM
mission at its next meeting early in
July.

FINED 1915 AND"
p. Albertson of Glencoe,
ILL.,, is Arrested by
Nick Otto.
GUS SINGER is FINED

Traffic Oh the county highways was
pretty orderly throughout the week
end, according to the report from the
fleet of motorcycle cops from the sher-
ifs Office who were on patrol duty.
P. Albertson of Glencoe, ILL.,, was
arrested Sunday afternoon at 5:45
o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Nick Otto
for driving while intoxicated. Albert
son did not figure in an accident for
he was arrested just as he came over
the county line and before he had
chance to get into one.
Gle was going about ten miles an
hour, judge" the deputy said this
morning to Judge Slater, "but he was
pretty badly off. He was zig-zagging
all over the road"
That Kind of swine"
Judge Slater asked the defendant
what he had "had", and the man re-
piled "only couple of drinks Of
wine"
eff that was the light wine some
have been agitating about" said the
judge, "and it had that effect upon you
after two drinks, l think we had best
steer clear of it."
The Geneva road motorcycle cops,
Deputies Chef Bostetter and Chef Wa
ters got another case Of driving while
intoxicated. They arrested o. Russell
of 861 North Sheridan road for drunk
en- driving.
Gus Singer Fined.

ing while intoxicated Singer ran in

senate. During his address it was APP
parent that the animosities of the an
ti-Klan demonstration had not yet
quoted, and buzz of controversial
talk kept up on the convention floor,
sometimes almost drowning out the
speaker.
The Arkansas delegation led in
cheering Senator Robinson after the
nominating speech was concluded.
California Gets Busy.
Small California state flags were
passed around to the McAdoo support
ers in many parts of the hall and when
former Senator Phelan took the plat
form to make the McAdoo nominating
speech he was greeted by several min
utes of cheering.
Twice during Mr.. Phelan's speech
Chairman Walsh had to intervene to
quiet the convention, clear the aisles
and still the general confusion so the
speaker could be heard.
AS Mr. Phelan drew toward the close
of his speech the McAdoo managers,
who were making preparations for the
McAdoo demonstration gave their last
orders and signals and rounded up
their people, the whole front of the
hall was banked solid with McAdoo
men and women waiting for the word
TO cut loose. Throughout the delegate
spaces were McAdoo lieutenants, each
In charge of a group.
At the signal which came with the
concluding words of Mr.. Phelan's
speech the McAdoo demonstrators cut
loose. The demonstration was noisy
and prolonged and it was apparent that
many of the demonstrators were not
delegates as it was noticed that many
delegates were remaining in their seats
and taking no part in the show.
Smith Men Shout "OiP.
After fifteen minutes more the rum
pus still was going on in the same
way. The McAdoo people were chant
ing McAdoo and the Smith people
were chanting oil, to the same rythm.
The band had laid off, however, and
there was some prospect of quoting
things down again.
