Main street and with the amount of traffic now on that street it is qu"s-
 t:onable if their petition will prevail
 unless some other route than West
 Main stret is chosen. Jitney buses
 trolInys and the usual private car traf-
 fic on the street would certainly make congestion that would prove nearly
 unbcarable. even if 1t was deemed ad- visabe by the Public Utilities commis- sion to allow the competition with the trollcys.
 However, there exists on either side Of Hart street. north and south, a large amount of territory that is also lacking in transportation facilities. There are undoubtedly many people living in this section who would also appreciate an opportunity to ride from the center to their homes. It might he good plan if line Of jitney bUsscs were considered. 10 route them through Arch street to Hart, thence westerly to the corner of Corbin ave nue and northerly on Corbin avenue to West Main street over the railroad tracks al the new Corbin avenue bridge, From that point the jitneys might go as far east at Black Rock bridge and turn for the return trip.
 It seems as though it was long trip around Hart street 10 get to Black Rock bridge by way of Corbin avenue. As matter of fact, though. it could be done in as httle time as go- ing due west on West Main, as there would be far less interruption from other traffic and the jitneys could pro- ceed easily. The added advantage Of opening up a new section for trade [ would appeal to the operators and the people alike.

AT WISCONSIN CONFERENCE.
Wisconsin Conference of Methodist
EniscOnal Church In Session.

Wisconsin Conference OF Methodist
Episcopal Church In Session.
anesville.-Americans are pauper-
izing the church and "robbing God of
even a decent recognition of their
stewardship" DR.. Luther E. Lovejoy,
Chicago, stewardship secretary of the
World Service commission, declared
.at the lay session of the Wisconsin
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church here on Saturday.
DR.. Lovejoy appealed to laymen OF
Wisconsin for larger contributions to
the church, particularly for mission
airy work.
eff all the Methodists were giving
as generally as some of the Metho-
dists are giving, our benevolence
treasures would be overlooking, our
local churches throbbing with intense
activity, and our worldwide enter
prise prospecting as never before" DR..
Lovejoy declared.
"At present, less than quarter of
the membership of the church is bear
ing a full half of the church's finan-
cial burdens. Last year, government
statistics show, the members of the
Methodist Episcopal church enjoyed a
net income of at least $2,442, 100000.
Had every member contributed his
received more than $242 100000. In
tenth the church treasures would have
stead of this, they actually received
for church purposes, less than $87,000,-
600, or approximately three and one7
half per cent.
To-day our home and foreign mis-
sionary boards are in distress, our
world service program threatened with
disaster, our workers discouraged, and
our proposed new enterprise at a
standstill.
GAS nearly as we can estimate, a
full million of Methodists are now
regularly paying tenth of their in
come. This means that among the
other three and four million members
there must be somewhere an enormous
army of slackers. The average church
member is strong for his Chamber of
Commerce, his Rotary club, his lodge.
But when it comes to obligations to
the church, some of us spend like
stingy tightwads, not because we
haven't stopped to consider that we
live in new and opulent world, a
world of new standards of value, OF
new problems and that the church
shares with the rest of the world in
larger requirements for it's upkeep and
advancement.
"Out in the world we realize the new
conditions, but when we sit in our
pews our minds run back to the time
when we worked for dollar day,
and gave pennies to God, and SO again
we deposit the little red cent.
American citizens today are feed
ing themselves to death, pauperizing
the church, starving their fellowmen,
and robbing God of even decent rec
ignition Of their stewardship"

AND BACK OF IT ALL

And back of it all-back of the twin
rosettes of crepe hung on the door
posts of home on the lake shore,
back of the man who awaits hearing
on the charges of murder, back of the
robbing of Kenosha county of one of
it's most competent officials, back Of
the sorrow which must continue
through the lives of stricken homes
yes, back of it all is the fact that the
failure of Kenosha county and Keno
sha city to properly enforce the law
is the cause of all this suffering and
sorrow.
Back of it all is the horrid head of
booze, defiance of law and failure to
enforce the law
The cruel death of Truman Parker
and his daughter beautiful girl
just budding into womanhood-must
awaken the people of Kenosha to the
demand for an enforcement of the law
which will make it impossible for men
with their minds bemuddled and be-
fuddled with poison liquor to take an
automobile and drive on the roads
ready to deal death and injury to the
hapless people who happen to get in
their way.
Truman Parker and his daughter
are martyrs to great cause. To
awaken the people now will not bring
back life to these people, will not re-
duce the anguish of the men who were
responsible for their death but out of
the sorrow and tragedy attending the
killing - ruthless killing - of these
people there may come an appearance
of red blood in the veins of other peo-
pie who will recognize the danger
which exists and demand that this
danger be removed.
We have already paid terrible
price for non enforcement of law. Is
this county going to continue to pay
this price just to permit few besot-

are charged with being accessories af-
ter the fact of manslaughter, and fail
ing to give aid to injured.
The car Thomas was driving was a
Paige, owned by Abe Rubenstein.
Brought Fudge to Her Brother.
Mr.. Parker and his daughter had
been to visit his son, Theodore, who is
i'll at st. GATHERINGS. A few minutes
after they left to take the street. car
down town they were brought back to
the hospital, PROSTATE and uncon-
scious. The shock may add another
death to the toll, for Theodore, as a
result of the tragedy to the two he
loved, is in a precarious condition.
The two were waiting for the south
bound Milwaukee avenue street car
with Anthony Schmitz, 266 North
street, and his Is year old son, Leroy,
All were struck by the speeding auto
mobile, but Schmitz and his boy es-
capped injury.
Jean Parker had gone down to the
hospital Sunday afternoon, carrying
some homemade fudge to her brother
She found her father with Theodore
and after visiting together, Jean and
her father, who has always peen mel
chum and pal, left the hospital togeth-
er to take the street car down town
to attend the evening services at the
Park Avenue M. E. church.
Five Are Under Arrest.
Just after the accident, there ap-
peared to be some doubt as to whether
the police would be able to catch the
car which had struck the four and
sped on. No one was able to describe
the car. No one had taken the license
number. There was a feeling OF
tight anxiety about the police office
lest this driver should escape as had
the man who fatally injured and aban-
doned Andrew Reichert on Milwaukee
avenue last spring.
But by 10 o'clock Thomas was I'M
der arrest as were also three of the
young men with him. The fifth mem.

ted men to make living by defying
the law and by debauching other men?
There is no way to shift the respon-
sibility The people who have winked
at the violation of the laws and who
have failed to make violation of the
law unpopular in Kenosha county must
face their responsibility. The blood
of these innocent people calls upon
them to prevent the recurrence of
such tragedy.
No one will question but that the
killing of Truman Parker and his
daughter was the direct result of
moonshine liquor being sold to boys.
The men who sold it should stand at
the bar of justice charged as accom-
plices before the fact to the crime of
murder They must share the guilt
with the man who actually drove the
car which carried death to these peo-
pie.
No sickly sentiment should be al
lowed to stand between these men and
the real punishment which they de-
serve The people should be aroused
to demand that the sale of moonshine
liquor be ended in Kenosha county. If
it costs hundred thousand dollars to
clean up this county the county should
be cleaned up.
So long as this defiance of law con-
tinues the life of no citizen of the
county is safe. There is no reason to
believe that the fate of Truman Parker
and his daughter will not be the fate
of you and your daughter.
If the officers regularly elected to
protect the lives of the people of the
city and county are incompetent, we
must have some other officers who will
recognize their duty and be able to do
it. 1t may mean grand jury or it
may mean a. vigilance committee. No
matter which course may be necessary
Kenosha people must demand the pro-
lection of the lives of people.

for Navy Conference

Washington, D. c. The situation
regarding appropriations for the navy
brought to focus today as Secretary
Wilbur, cutting short his western trip
at the request of President Coolidge
was speeding east with the expecta-
ton that he would arrive here in time

It was indicated at the White House,
after the secretary had left San Diego,

a fast train for the east, that while
there was no special significance in
the call for his return, it was desired
that he be here to confer with the

thence to Albers street. There he did
not see the turn, ran into the fence
and then abandoned the car. He said
at this time Irving and Carl Otto were
with him; he did not know what had
became of the other two.
Thomas said that he and the others
walked about, then went to the North
side pool room where Otto dropped off,
and they were joined by another. They
went up to the chop suey restaurant
over the Brunswick pool room and had
chop suey supper. While they were
at supper Irving, he said, counselled
them to keep their mouths shut over
what had happened. When they left
the restaurant they walked north over
the bridge where their arrest took
place.

One of the curious turns of fate
was illustrated in the tragic acct
dent Sunday night. Clarence Ran
die was the first person to reach
Coroner Parker's PROSTATE form
Just after the collision, and he re-
called the last time he had talked
with him. 1t was during the time
that Mr.. Parker was working on
the drowning case at Fox River
when two Chicago women lost their
lives when an automobile crashed
past the approaches and plunged
into the stream. Randle, assisted
in the case and one day, while they
were having lunch together at New
Munster, he asked what a person
should do first in case, he came up
on an accident.
'T am deputy sheriff" added
Randle, "and | think / ought to be
prepared for such an emergency
which might happen to any motor
ist. There might be several hurt
and in the confusion one might not
know what was most important
"Take care of the injured" the
coroner answered, eff there are sew
eral hurt and one is dead, let him
be and take care of those who are
injured"
"This is the first accident in
which l have had an opportunity to
follow the coroner's advice" said
Randle as he recalled the incident,
"and it seems remarkable that it
should be the coroner himself;
man for whom have had the deep
est respect and liking. / don't be-
lieve this county will ever have
better coroner if we lose him"
