KenOsha Man is
Fined i'm Waukegan

s. B. Miller, of 65 North Oak street.
Kenosha, who operates Grosvenor Hall
dances here and who has been In
charge Of the dances at the Washing
ton Island beach during the summer,
made an auspicious entry into Wauke-
gan on Saturday according to the re-
ports in the papers there. Miller plans
to operate dances at the Armory in
,Waukegan through the winter season
on every Saturday night and was IN
that city on business connected with
these plans.
He had business to transact with the
police department. The fact IS he
wanted a policeman to be stationed
at the entrance of the Armory to take
charge Of the traffic.
So he jumped into his Lizzie in Ke-
nosha and headed south. Time was
short so he tickled his pet into great
state Of agitation and made as high
as forty miles an hour at times.
At the city limits he slowed down.
A motorcycle squadron met him and
suggested he follow along.
"That's fne," he remarked to his
companion, "to get q motorcycle es-
cort to the police station. That's the
way to do business. I'll have to sug-
gest that to the Kenosha police"
His next acquaintance was Police
Magistrate Walter Taylor.
Fifteen dollars and costs" he
chEped at the dance king.
"Pretty expensive for a motorcycle
escort, isn't it chief?' he asked the
magistrate.
"I'm not the chief, but the court,
and you were arrested for speeding"
snickered his honor.

GIRL SHOT WITH
AN AIR RIFLE
T. Bruno Arrested Again
May be Sent Away
This Time.
MAY LOSE HER EYE

Telya Bruno, Is, Of 552 Garden
street, was arrested by the police
Monday afternoon on serious charge
and brought into the municipal court
before Judge Slater today.
Bruno is charged with shooting
twelve-vear-old Irene McCazzie of 784
Pearl street on Saturday with an air
rife. The girl is said to be in seri-
Gus condition. The bullet from the
small gun went into her right eye,
and it is feared that the girl may lose
the sight Of this eye.
Telya Bruno has been picked up by
the police time after time. He has
been paroled again and again. The
police insist that they are weary OF
the parole method where it applies to
young gangsters who have been ar
rested more than once or twice, for.
they are always up to mischief, which
sometimes leads as in this case to se-
rious crimes.
An effort will be made to have this
lad sent away to the State Industrial
school at Waukesha.I Telya has been
arrested before for theft, violation OF
parole and other offenses. He belongs
to type of small gangster.
Bruno's father told the police this
morning that he had been endeavor-
ing to keep strict account of the boys
movement, insisting upon his keeping
regular hours, and being home before
the curfew at night. He said he gave
the boy some money to purchase a!
book at school, but learned that hei
had instead purchased gun. He had
warned him not to use it.
The family, it is said, will not ops
nose any efforts Of the authorities int
the plan to send the boy away.

And, there In front Of the house. walk
ing round the garden paths, what do
you suppose l saw7 You will never
guess. i saw my Uncle Charles. walk
ing nimbly and briskly without his
crutches.
I went home the next morning In q
maze Of bewilderment, and climbed up
to my fathers attic study. Speaking
all In an excited hurry, l told him
what had seen. His first expression
was one Of utter amazement, "Your
Uncle Charles walking without his
crutches!'
And he fell into a long, thoughtful
brooding silence, looking over my
head, and not listening to my rush Of
e1clamations. Finally he glanced down
at me, with a strange, anxious look
and with a voice of deep earnestness,
such az ! have never heard addressed
to me before, as though something Of
terrible Importance depended upon
me, upon me!
"See here my darling" he said
urgently, "you must never, never,
never tell anybody else what you have
seen. Promise me you will never speak
OF 1t again, not even to me. Just put
it right out Of your mind, as II you
had not seen it. Lift your hand and
promise"
As soon as could recover from my
awe at the solemnity Of his look, I
lifted my hand and promised, and a
silence fell between US.
Then / said, Father, please, want
to ask Just one thing. II Uncle
Charles doesn't need his crutches
:" But l got no further.
Doesn't need his crutches .

and protested. But father, the only

Columbus Lad Has Sensational
Knockout Record Behind
Him During Recent Bouts
By "BUGGs" RAMSEY

When Dick White of Columbus,
and Freddie Boorde Of Atlanta,
meet for a ten-round main event
boxing match here next Tuesday
night, Americas fistic enthusiasts
will see two battlers of different
types facing each other.
White is one of the most sem
sational maulers Georgia has
produced. He is in his teens and
has never been knocked off his
feet. During the last few months
White has met Give of the best
scrappers in his weight in the state
and all of them have been knock
ed out. He has never let a man
remain in the ring with him in a
scheduled contest longer than four
rounds.
John L. Mathis Post, American
Legion, which is promoting the
engagement has gone to a consid-
cradle expense to get White and
Boorde together. The Atlanta
boy is high in pugilistic circles and
demands a guarantee for his bouts
against such men as White.
Boorde's record is different
from that Of White. He is dyed
in-the wool boxer. he does not
put the boys to the mat but cuts
them to pieces and leaves very lit
tie doubt who is the victor when
the contest is concluded. He is
on the Stribling type. Gets into
the ring and goes after his man
from the start and gives him a
boxing lesson if he is not pro-
fcient in the art of give and take.
White is under the management
of Charlie Loeb, a professional
wrestler and boxer of many years
experience. Loeb has managed
some Of the best fighters in the
game today. He is a Nebraskan
by birth and for several years work
ed in Farmer Burns stable where
he learned boxing from the great
est grappler Of his day. Loeb has
been showing White all the tricks
of the ring and declares that his
boy is the best bet for light

1O-2 FOR ACQU|TTAL
Youth Almost Persuaded Jurors
of Mental responsibility for
Murder of Father

CLEARWATER, Fla, June 12.-
Frank Mcdowell, slayer of his
family, viii be placed on trial in
Pinellas circuit court here next
Tuesday, for the second time with
in week, on the charge of murder
ing his mother, who with his father
was shot to death as the coapla lay
asleep in their st. Petersburg home
last February.
Judge McMullen decided on the
early retrial of the case when a
jury, which had deliberated since.
late Tuesday afternoon notified the
court they were hopelessly dead
locked. The court ordered mis-
trial.
After the jury reported the i'm
possibility of agreement it was rum
ored about the courthouse that the
jurors had stood first 10 to , for ac-
quittal on the ground of insanity,
which defense counsel had thrown
up with the aid of. two alienists.
Later reports, however, were to the
effect that in a final effort to agree
they balloted on the question of life
Imprisonment, but it was said one
juror stood firm for the death
penalty.

DELEGATES LEFT FREE
TO SELECT RUNNING MATE

CONVENTION HALL, CLEVE-
LAND, June 12.-The Republican
party not only pledged its faith to
|. Calvin Coolidge today as it's choice
for the presidency but followed out
his wish that the selection of his
running mate be left to delegate
\ themselves in open convention.
Assembling the convention at
10 o'clock to go through the for
malities of ratifying Coolidge's
mountaineering a foregone con-
clusion - convention managers
agreed to recess for only an hour
and half, afterward proceeding
to the selection of the vice-presi-
deney.
Borah's reiterated refusal to
take second place on the ticket aft
er he had ben selected at an all
night conference Of leaders, left
the vice-presidential situation very
much in the air, and it was agreed
that a short recess arrangement
would give little opportunity for
conferences that might lead to any
definite agreement. 1t appeared
probable that, despite his attitude,
Borah's name be presented to the
convention, along with those of
at least half dozen other eligibles,
and some leaders foresaw an old
fashioned floor fight for nominal
ton.
The formalities of nominating
Coolidge was comparatively simple.
The honor of placing his name be-
fore the delegates went to DR..
Marion Leroy Burton, once his
neighbor in Northampton, Mass,
now president of the University of
Michigan.
Half a dozen delegates were al
lotted time for seconding speeches.
Senator LaFollette's Wisconsin
delegates and their half dozen SYM
patthizers from North Dakota,
booed and tainted by roaring
circle of colleagues last night
when they refused to join in the
demonstration of Coolidge, were in
their seats when the convention
opened.

DUBLIN, June 12.-With a par
tial survey of the cotton situation
in Laurens county completed, some
interesting figures on cotton acre.
age and poisoning have been COM
piled by the Chamber Of Com
merce.
According to Secretary W. II.
Proctor ito Secretary w. H. Proc
tor of the Chamber of Commerce
today, 882 farms haze been visited
by the special demonstrators to
help fight the weevils. On these
farms were 9241 plows. Acreage in
cotton on these farms amounted to
1881, or an average of just a
fraction more than II acres to the
pillow.
OF this acreage owners of 8168
acres do not intend to use poison
against the weevil; owners Of 20
758 acres will use poison this year,
and owners Of 1924 acres will use
poison if they can arrange to get 1t.
1t has been found that so per cent
of the non-poison acreage in the
county is OH the east side of the
river south of the Adrian road, and
so per cent. Of the remainder of the
non-poison acreage is located on the
borders of the county. This gives
about one-fourth Of the .non-pois0i
