JUDGE BARNES
DIED FRIDAY
Pioneer Kenosha Teacher
Dies at Waukegan Fol
lowing Operation.
WIDELY KNOWN HERE

Judge Vischer ". Barnes, aged 73
years, one of the best known and most
active of the members of the Keno
sha High School association, died on
Friday morning at the Victory Me-
mortal hospital in Waukegan. He had
been subjected to a major operation
earlier in the week and failed to re-
cover from the effects of it.
The announcement of the death OF
Judge Barnes will come as a personal
sorrow to many of the older people
of Kenosha to whom he was well
known.
Judges Barnes was one of the earlia
er teachers in the "Free school" at
Kenosha and he always kept in close
touch with the schools here. For years
he had been one of the most promi-
nent of the visitors at the biennial
reunion of the school association.
Was Leader in Zion.
Judge Barnes was born in Rensa-
laer, New York, but he came west as
boy. He was a student at Yale and
at the Chicago law school and he early
attained prominence as leader of his
profession. He was strong support
er of prohibition and was at one time
the Prohibition candidate for govern
or of Illinois. He was living at Lake
Bluff when John Alexander Dowie
founded Zion City and he was attract
ed to the Dowie movement and became
the first municipal judge in Illinois at
the court at Zion. He was for some
years city attorney at Zion City but
after the death of Dowie he broke with
the Zion leadership and in more re-
cent years he had practiced law with
Offices at Zion.
Judge Barnes is survived by his wi
dow, one son, Attorney Paul Barnes,
of Boise City. Idaho, and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mamie Bronson, ofNEl Cajon.
Cal. The children are now on their
way east and the announcement CT the
time of the funeral will be made after
their arrival in Zion.

USE STATE LAW
IF NECESSARY
City Liquor Ordinance
Does Not Interfere With
State Cases.
ORDERS TO POLICE
City Manager Says Police Ord
cred to Use Ordinance Only
When 1t Fit Situation.

City officials Of Kenosha> are ready
and willing to arraign all offenders
against the liquor laws under the
state law, according to the statement
issued this morning by City Manager
C. M. Osborn, who made this state
ment to clear up any misunderstand-
ing which may exist regarding the
city liquor ordinance passed only a
few weeks ago.
"At the time that the city ordinance
became effective, the police department
was instructed to arraign all violators
under the state law if there was any
question whatever as to whether or not
the penalty provided in the city ordi-
nance did not fit the case. In many
first offenses arising out of raids the
city ordinance was just as effective
as the state law and there was no
reason why the offenders should not
be arraigned under it."
Merely Diverted Money. I
The city ordinance was passed mere
ly to divert some of the fine money
which was going almost in it's entirety
into the state Golfers into the Golfers
of the city. 1t was modelled in so far
as possible after the state ordinance
and there was no reason whatever
why some of the offenders could not
be arraigned under it.
It was the understanding from the
outset and is yet, according to the
orders given the police, that the state
officials should have full power to act
and that the city ordinance would in
no way interfere with the action OF
the district attorney.
"All offenders may still be ar
raigned on the state law" said Mr..
Osborn, "and the city ordinance in no
way acts as check on this. There is
no reason why both laws cannot oper-
ate together but most certainly the
city ordinance can be cast into the
discard if there is any question what
ever as to whether or not it interferes
with law enforcement"

PENALTY.

People who cause fires by careless
ness should be punished by courts, ar
CUES the state fire marshal of Mas
sachusetts. He thinks the careless
man cannot be converted into a care
full man simply by telling him to be
careful.
This is direct reasoning without any
bunk. A penalty is not always pre-
ventive. But it helps. It's the kick
in live wire that keeps people away.
Carelessness becomes officially crimi-
nal when it endangers the lives or
property of others.

MILK DRIVER
SUES BIANCHI
Asks Damages of $1,000 for
Injuries Received on
May /, 1924.
ON ROWLAND AVENUE

Daniel Bianchi is defendant in a
suit for damages brought in the muni-
cipal court by Ralph Thomas as the
result of an accident that took place
May /, 1924.
Thomas was driving a milk wagon
south on Rowland avenue, making de-
liveries of milk to customers before
dawn, when Bianchi driving an auto
mobile, ran into him.
Says Driver Was Drunk.
The plaintiff charges that Bianchi
was driving carelessly and negligently
at an excessive rate of speed and that
he was intoxicated at the time. The
milk wagon was thrown over and the
driver injured. He asks for damages
of $4,000.
Bianchi pleaded guilty in the NUM-
cipal court to the charge of failing to
stop and give aid to injured. He was
fined $3.50 and costs.

SONG.

Only one song in thousand makes
hit and brings big profits to the
publishers and writer, says E. G. Mills.
He's chairman of the American Society
of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
Many will be surprised that 60 few
songs go over big. And yet the situa-
ton is no different than in other lines
of work. For every one who succeeds,
a thousand or more fail outright or at
best never reach more than very mild
success.
Success is the exception, failure the
rule. More profitable to study failures
and try to figure why they failed, than
famous. What not to do is quite as i'm
portant as what to do.

FUNNY?

The funniest thing in the round-the-
world airplane flight, says Lieutenant
Smith, was the way the frightened ma
tives in Indo- China fed into the woods
when they saw the huge steel birds
swooping down toward them.
1t didn't strike those Malay natives
as being especially humorous. George
Washington would probably have drop
ped dead of heart failure if he could
have seen one of these planes.
We've approached it gradually, so it
has none Of the terrors of what is
magical and not far from supernatural
this flying magic carpet"

LUXURY.

An old London newspaper, year 1887,
comes to light with the social notice:
Randolph Churchill is perfect type
of gentleman. His house is appoint
ed CONNIE il faut with electric lights
in every room"
That seemed wonderful then, only
five years after Edison introduced
electric street lighting into New York
City.
Do you remember when one of the
towns richest men was pointed out as
the daring and extravagant owner of
the community's first horseless car
riage?

SLAYER OF GROSH TO BE
GIVEN DEATH SENTENCE

After celebrating only 10 minutes
and being. out of the jury box barely
16 minutes, the II men who heard the
case against William B. Ward, Globe
negro, charged with the Staying OF
Ted Grosh, university student, and
the assault upon Mrs. Maxine Nc
Nelly Gilbert last December, return
ed verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree and fixing the penal
ty at death.
April Is, week from Tuesday, was
set by the court as the date for pass
ing sentence and of hearing motion
by defense counsel for a new trial.
Ward, who sat impassivle through
the short trial, showed no sign of
emotion when the jury verdict was
read and he heard himself sentenced
to be hanged. The negro took the
stand in his own defense and declar-
ed that the events of the evening of
December 26, when the crimes were
committed, and of the following morn
ing, were a blank in his memory. He
became intoxicated Christmas night,
he said, and went to sleep in gutter
in Miami, remembering nothing of
his subsequent actions. Mrs. Gilbert
identified the negro as the man who
killed Grosh.
