London. - "A large increase in the

interesting several English compan-
les, who are organizing prospecting

that gold may be found in the waste

''Hold-up'' Cases
Are All Dismissed
Harry Francis Madigan, Charles
Thomas Moan, Mr.. and Mrs. ].
H. Graham Discharged.

The cases against Charles Thomas
Moan, Harry Francis Madigan, John
Herman Graham and Selma Lee Ora
ham have all been. dismissed in the
municipal court. Moan was charged
with robbery and the others with be-
ing accessory to the hold-up. He
pleaded guilty but the case was open
ed again on motion of Attorney Roy
Stephenson.
After a trial was held in the case,
the testimony showed that the evil
dence indicated larceny, if any offense.
Julius Alberts, corner Prairie and
Balm avenues, the store keeper who
claimed that he was robbed, was not
sure on the witness stand just what
was taken beyond pair of trousers.
The case held fire day or two dur
ing which it was question of whether
or not warrants would be issued on
the larceny charge. AS Moan had
been in jeopardy for an offense which
he had not committed, that of hold-up,
the end of the law, justice, was believ-
ed to be satisfied by dismissal Of
all the cases.

Farms Are Over-run
by Clever SWindlers

Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin is over
run with promoters of schemes which
purport to cure all farm ills, Edward
Nordman, state commissioner of mar
kets, declared in statement today.
He warns farmers against such or
CARNATIONS and proposals.
what appears to be another scheme
to relieve the farmer of his money
without accomplishing anything, has
been called to the attention of the de-
partment of a farmer living at Ar
kansaw,' Mr.. Nordman says. Evils
consin has been over-run with promot-
ers whose main object is to secure
so much per head and such schemes
which hope to fix prices on farm pro-
ducts so that will give the farmer a
profit over the cost of production.
These are carefully planned to insure
the promoter of a profitable income.
st is becoming more difficult to fool
Wisconsin farmers with fake schemes

honestly administered farm societies

SAY AIRPLANE
| LANDED LIQUOR
Police Hear Story Which
Tells of Loaded Bird
of Passage.
OUT ON SOMERS FIELD

Two men came to the police station
Friday afternoon and unfolded a
strange complaint to the lieutenant.
The men said that an aeroplane had
come winging its way over Kenosha
Thursday night, dipped down on a
prairie west of the city, and unloaded
a cargo of "wet stuff"
The police listened to the story a
little regretfully, stating that they
wished that the tip had been "hot
one'' and given them while the aero
plane was in the process of unload
ing, as this would have made a won
derful setting for raid.
Automobile Drives Up.
Shortly after the aeroplane landed,
an automobile drove up and was load
ed UP and driven away, the police
were told.
The alleged booze plane dropped
down on a piece of ground on West
Prairie avenue in the township Of
Somers, the police were told.
After the story was given the police
made an investigation but ware un-
able to substantiate the statement
and they remained as rumor. The
man who told the story said that he
saw the aeroplane land but did not
hear of what it contained until the
following day.

POLICE RAID A
| NOTORIOUS JOINT
f. Andreuskis, 700 Strong
ST., Refuses to Appear
in Court Today.
LOCKED UP IN JAIL

Frank Andreuskis, 709 Strong street,
a cripple who the police believe relies
upon hi sinfrmity in order to violate
the law with impunity, was arrested
by the police Friday night following
a raid
The place was visited by Sergeant
Schneeberger and Officers Vanderwahl,
Callahan and Radatz. They found a
quart of kicking mule in fruit jar.
The man threw the jar into the sink,
endeavoring to destroy the moon
shine, but it was caught by one of the
raiding officers.
Won't Come Into Court.
"You will have to appear in the
municipal court Saturday morning, f"
the sergeant informed Andreuskis
before leaving.
81 won't do it." the man replied. AS
he continued his defiance and his in
sistence that he would not come to
court, the sergeant informed him that
in that case he would have to come
along to the police station then and
there.
"You know what that MEANS" the
police officer went on, "a night in
jail"
Andreuskis replied that he didn't
care" He was taken to the police Of
fee and placed in the lookup
The police say that innumerable
complaints have been received about
the place at TOO Strong street, and
that it is veritable nuisance.

zone time Gertrude said that she
would be married to Earl If they
had to go to the old country for the
ceremony"
AS certain as Earl's father is that
itw as an elopement, Gertrude's mother
is equally positive that he forced her
to go with him. s
earl was "a BRUTE" her mother
declared.
"Im sure there wasn't anything
planned, for Gertrude didn't take any
clothes with her. All her clothes are
here.
"For several years he logged her
continually. do not think that
Gertrude wanted to go with him."
Gertrude's younger brother, James,
twelve years old, also believes that
Earl forced his sister to go with him.
"He was always mad when Gertrude
wanted to go with some other fellow"
James said.
"He was mighty insistent that he'd
get her and not anyone else"
The car Gertrude took milk to Bas-
sett's Station with more than week
ago, was found standing on a lonely
stretch of road. According to James
she was forced over to one side be-
cause, Earl had his car parked in the
center of the road waiting for her.
Meanwhile the attempts, of the par
ents and Of authorities to locate the
couple have been unvailing. Messages
have been sent all along the Lincoln
highway to apprehend the couple but
as yet not a single trace Of them has
been found Some people think that
the report that they went to California
is only a ruse and that after few
weeks they will return to Powers Lake
and that they are. now somewhere
comparatively near, waiting for a
propitious time to return and seek
parental blessings.

SAFETY DRIVES
SWEEP COUNTRY
Civic Council in Nation
wide Campaign to Re-
duce Accidents.
APPEAL TO PEOPLE

Kenosha is taking prominent part
in the nationwide campaign now go
ing on in an effort to stem the tide
of accidents which are becoming in
creasingly menacing to human life
throughout the country. The Kenosha
Civic Council is sponsoring an active
campaign in Kenosha through !, its
auxiliary body, the Kenosha Safety
Council. The work of the local bod
les is already becoming evident in the
reduction of accidents due to hazards
that are being gradually eliminated.
A general campaign for street
safety and accident prevention has
been sweeping the country in great
er proportions than has ever been un-
dertaken.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton, the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce, the National Safe
ty Council, city, state and govern
ment authorities have combined
in one serious undertaking to make
traffic safer for both drivers and
pedestrians.
Many Cities Active.
A survey of cities throughout the
country points to various means. by
which this object is sought.
City judges have been clamping
down tighter than ever on traffic
lawbreakers, preventive measures
have been attempted, and all sorts
of punishments meted out to viola
tors. There is still, however, a diff
ference of opinion as to the best
methods of solving the situation.
In Cleveland, Memphis and many
other large cities, guilty drivers
have met with severe. fines or. inn
prisonment in attempts to lower the
accidents and death rates on streets.
Yet some automobile officials believe
this is only part of general remedy
that should be applied to traffic
losses.
Suggested Remedies.
The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce urges five ways ,tog i'm
prove traffic conditions. They are: 8
/. Hold speed down to a maxi
mum of 20 miles an hour in all resi-
Dental sections, except where shere
are special boulevard provisions. &1
2. Jail, revocation of licenses. and
taking away the car of those guilty
will help. make streets safe.
3. Safety education in schools.
A. Gathering statistics for future
means of control.
5. Relief of congestion by through
routing of tourists and others who
do not care to stop in town. 10
Appeal to Drivers. ~
Besides activities of officials, there
is the motorist himself to whom the
American Automobile Association
has been making a special appeal
for safety.
safety depends on the drivers, .
says Fred H. Galley, president of the
Ohio State Automobile Association.
"If conditions are to be improved
drivers must recognize the personal
element as still being Of the utmost
importance. The average driver
falls into the habit of expecting too
much from the protective equipment
of his car"
In it's endeavor to create safer
traffic conditions, the A. A. "A has
opposed the enactment of radical
accident prevention measures until
they have been investigated and
found practicable. Temporary flare
ups of police and judges; freak
measures and other such practices
are discouraged.
