Need Food and Clothing.

There are millions of children in
Germany who are poverty stricken,
according to the appeal. They are in
need of food and clothing and unless
America aids them, it is said, that
thousands of them will die before
spring.
Several weeks ago similar appeal
was made to Kenosha and at that time
several voluntary subscriptions were
made to the relief fund. 1t is hoped
that many others will now come for
ward with subscriptions.
The. committee in charge of funds
raised in Kenosha is as follows:
Joseph Funck, chairman; c. C. Brown,
vice president: E. T. O'Brien, treas
urer; C. NJ Reed, secretary.
No formal campaign for the fund
will be made in Kenosha, but persons
interested in relieving the suffering
of the German women and children
are given. an opportunity to help by
leaving their donations either at
any Kenosha bank or at the office
of any Kenosha factory.

DRY Law SECTION
is HELD VALID
Owner of Place Where Liquor is Made
May be Held for Penalties
by State.

Madison. Wis. - Constitutionality
of Section 1851 of the state prohibit
ton law was upheld in an opinion
rendered today by the attorney gener-
aPs department to District Attorney
H. J. Bohn at Baraboo. The district
attorney requested ruling from the
legal department on the provisions re-
garding prosecution of persons operat-
ing public nuisances, as defined by the
prohibition act.
The provision ruled on, declares all
places where liquor is manufactured,
kept or sold public nuisanees and au-
thorizes a lien on the property on pros
ecution of the responsible persons.
''The section specifically provides
that the lien shall apply to the owners
interest only, if the owner has reason
to believe the place of business is be-
ing used for unlawful sales and traf-
fc in Intoxicating liquors" the opin-
ion stated in holding the provision to
be valid, ''and under such circum-
stances suffers the premises to be oc-
cupied and used for violating the law.
The owner is not fined by this law for
maintaining the nuisance and is not a
necessary party to the prosecution for
maintaining the nuisance"
The ruling further held that action
to abate a nuisance in which fine or
imprisonment or both is imposed, is
not a criminal action but simply an
equitable action under the prohibition
law.

Despite Immediate Care.

Walter Loeffler, %, Of 663 Middle
street. was instantly killed at 12:08
o'clock this noon, when he was thrown
from the running board of a skidding
truck at the intersection OF Garden
street and Rowland avenue. LoeHler

friend, the truck driver, when the lat
GER .rying t. avoid a bicyclist, sent
ne car on q curve, it .skidded, Loeffler
vas throw md his head was thrown
W II terrific impact against a tree on
the corner. His skull was fractured,
and he Fled profusely; his tragic death
followed instantly.
His Mortified companions, stunned by
the sight, carried the limp body into
the photographers studio on the cor
ner. When the police ambulance ar
rived, Secretary Meissner in charge, 1t
was found that it was necessary only
to summon the bereaved family and
the coroner.
On Way Nome From Nash.
Loeffler was employed at the Nash
factory as checker. He was on his
way home just after twelve O'clock, and
was walking down the street, talking
gaily with his young workman pals
when a friend came along, Otto
Haubrich, driving truck for Peter
Obertin, the florist.
Haubrich, who was himself on his
way to his own home at FOL Middle
street, stopped obligingly and took
Loeffler on as an excess passenger, as
Loeffler was not only friend but a
neighbor, living in the same block on
Middle street as he did.
There were others in the truck, and
Loeffler swung on lightly with all Gag
crness, posing himself easily on the
running board with a hand balancing
himself on the body Of the truck
Laughing and chatting, the young men
continued on their way home together
Truck Skids at Corner.
The truck was going north on How
land avenue and as it neared the cor
ner of Garden street a bicyclist came
from the east. Haubrich, fearful of
an encounter with the man on the
wheel, suddenly swung the truck to
avoid an accident The truck skidded
and hit the curb line.
Loeffler's hold was shaken loose and
he was thrown from the running
board. He was hurled head first upon
tree on the corner, and his skull
cracked open. Death came it is be-
lieved with merciful suddenness, fol-
lowing instantly on the heels of the
blow.
The corner in question is known in
police circles as death Corner" not
only because of the fact that it is
dangerous for motorists but also be-
cause it was the scene of the several
shootings in feud which claimed the
lives of several persons.

appointment to the office Of assistant
district attorney, and consented to
have his name presented to the county
beard by Morris Barnett, district at
torney The county board, it is under
stood, will act on the prosecutors
recommendation some time late today.
The position was offered to Attorney
Powell by the district attorney, the
day after Judge E. B. Belden decided
the election fight against Frank
Symmonds, and again turned the Of
flee over to Mr.. Barnett.
Whether the county board will give
the prosecutor an assistant for the
remainder of the term, in view of its
action in reducing the Office to a
part-time basis, was briefly discussed
at the morning session. No action,
however, was taken at that time.
Although rumor of this had been
heard in legal circles for several days,
the prosecutor had refused to confirm
the fact that the offer had been made
until Mr. Powell today brought in his
formal acceptance.
To Retain Practice.
Negotiations are being carried on
by Mr.. Powell with a Milwaukee law
yer with a view of turning over his
private practice while he holds the
official office, it was learned. The Mil
waukee man is at present connected
with one of the largest firms in that
city, and for several years past has
been engaged in handling large cases
for the concern.
While Mr. Powell will have a desk
in the district attorneys office, he will
attend to the affairs Of his clients
at his present Office in Room 305 Of
the Public Service building, during
the evenings. He will also act as
counsel on all cases handled through
his office.
Late yesterday Mr.. Powell called the
district attorney and made arrange
1nents for a conference at $3.50 this
morning 1t was then that the mat
ter was finally settled.
Consider Office Location.
The location of the district attor-
ney's office will be taken up with the
county board at the same time the
recommendation of Mr.. Powell's APP
pointment is made. Mr.. Barnett stated
that he is DESTROYS of maintaining the
offices at 165 Main street due to the
fact that the term has only one year
more to run.
When the office was turned over to
Frank Symmonds lease was taken
on a suite of offices in the Dale build
ing, the lease to run until the new
quarters in the courthouse were COM
pleted The county is now paying
rent on these offices which at present
are vacant.
Mr.. Barnett stated that if he IS
forced to move he will have to give up
his present location where he has
been for a number of years and at the
expiration of his term of Office, he
will face the problem of finding a
new location

Joint Meeting Held Between Board of ST.
GATHERINGS Hospital and Kenosha Man
ufacturers Committee Yesterday.
ESTIMATE COST AT ABOUT 100000
Architect Specialist in Hospital Construction, Out
lines Plans for Modern Single Room
Institution I'm KenOsha.

Seed, which it is hoped will mature
into a new 100000 unit of SO beds
for St. GATHERINGS hospital, was sown
late yesterday afternoon at a joint
meeting Of the hospital board and a
committee appointed by the Kenosha' 5
Manufacturers association. The COM
mittee was composed of w. H. Afford,
A. H. Lance and W. J. Frost.
The importance of the move toward
the Standardization of all hospitals,
which during the past six years has
been sweeping this country through
the efforts Of the American College Of
Surgeons was stressed by FIR. Mouli-
nier, visiting director Of Catholic
hospitals.
"The day of the individualist ply
stefan is fast passing" he said. To-day
physicians who are associated with
standardized institutions meet once
each month and go over all the work
of the past month, reviewing it from
the charts, upon which are recorded
every move which has been in the case.
Mistakes are acknowledged and the
lessons which are to be found in the
mistakes are learned.
Public Receive Benefit.
"The benefit from this service,
which ten years ago was practically
unheard of, is. being received by a
grateful public. Six years ago you
could not have gone into 10 hospitals
in the country with the doctor and
gone oyer the charts of the case of a
friend who had died, and found the
reason for the death. Today there are
$50 such hospitals in the country
This is just one Of tn meanings of
Standardization. 1t means cooperation
between the physicians.
