Uniform Auto Lsws
Aim of New Drive

Madison, visa movement which
will be carried before the Wisconsin
legislature next year for the enact
ment of motor vehicle regulatory laws
was inaugurated at Des Moines this
week at the annual convention of the
Conference of Automobile administra-
tors Of the middle west, Secretary Of
State Fred R. Zimmerman, president
of the conference, announced Friday
on his return to Madison.
Secretary Zimmerman was re-
elected president of the middle west
ern conference
Among the measures which will be
offered to the various state legisla-
lures, including Wisconsin, are: uni
form title law for automobiles; uni
form lens law; drivers law; uniform
illumination law, and possibly traf-
fic regulation law.
The Wisconsin illumination law was
considered at length by the confer
ence as a basis for drawing uniform
law on the subject, Mr.. Zimmerman
said. Changes in the existing law,
however, are probable.
Michigan has taken the lead in mod
ern automobile regulations, Mr.. Zim-
norman stated. In the state, title
law and drivers law are two of the lat
est enactments. Both are drawn along
lines to meet with recent developments
in the motor vehicle advancement, it
was stated. A dimming law has been
enacted in Illinois, it was brought out,
and such was suggested for other
states. This would include an ap-
proved spotlight to mark the extreme
left of the vehicle to prevent COLI
sions and accidents.
Consideration also was given to, a
case pending in Wisconsin which will
likely determine future procedure in
Interstate vehicle relations. The case
involves the arrest of a Minnesota
truck driver in Wisconsin, charged
with not having Wisconsin license
Interstate agreements are likely as
result of the conference.
Other officers elected in addition to
Mr.. Zimmerman as president, were:
Secretary Of State Mike Holm, Mime
sofa, vice president; S. J. Williams
Illinois, secretary and treasurer.

Boy Who Was Thought
to Have Been Kidnapped
Was Near Here.
AT GENOA CITY FARM
Boy Seen by Kenosha Police
Officers Son, Came
Through Ken0sha.

Rudolph We1lman, son of Police
Officer Paul Wellman, of the Kenosha
police, force, saw and talked with
Philip Denny, the thirteen year old
Chicago boy, whose mother, Mrs. Ma
jerry Denny feared that he had been
kidnapped and wrote few days ago a
letter of appeal to Chief Logan.
Young Wellmans lives In Milwaukee,
and in May he went out to lake in
Walworth county, four miles west of
Genoa City, for an outing in camp and
while there he became acquainted with
the lad who was working on Fred
Dubenstine's farm. He told his par
ents about the incident, and when
Officer Wellman learned that Denny's
mother was still seeking trace of
her boy he informed Assistant Chief
Cyzak of the circumstances,
Dubenstine Now Indicted.
According to dispatches from Chi
cago late Thursday, Fred Dubenstine
is said to be under grand jury indict-
ment on the charge of kidnapping
young Denny, but according to the
Kenosha officer, the story he had heard
from his son was that Denny was at
the farm voluntarily,
Denny was just such red-haired
freckle-faced boy as is described in
the circular about him." said Rudolph
Wellman to his parents. II learned
that he had come with Dubenstine to
Wisconsin, but on his own hook, Du-
bentine went to Chicago in April to
get truck load of potatoes. While
he was loading, this young lad came
along and got on, The farmer said
to him, You can't go with me, sonny,
because I'm going all the way to Wal
worth county, Wisconsin, But Denny
begged to be allowed to go/along. He
told Bubenstine that ne had no home
and no place to go and that he would
do anything if only allowed to accom-
pany the farmer. And so he came
Boy Seen on Way to Kenosha.
Mrs. Denny in writing to Chief
Logan Of the boys presence ON the
farm, said thas she had learned that
he and Dubenstine had had few
words and that the lad mad left, be-
ing last seen on his way on the road
to Kenosha.
So far as the police have been able
to ascertain, Phillip Denny has not
yet been fornd and has not returned
to his home.
The Chicago dispatches merely not
ed Shat the alleged skidnapers" have
been indicted, as is alleged, but if
shu yeysioa leaned by young Wellman
il corract, they we're not criminaily
responsible for the lads absence from
home.
Meanwhile the Kenosla police are
connecting with Mrs. Denny, and as
sisting in every way they can to solve
the mystery.

Gently married in the office of the

eight months, it was revealed, while
Mrs. Johnson lived with her husband
for a period of fifty years-only to
have the hand of death to step into
each of their lives and carry away
their life companions.
But both had acquired property,
and it was just recently that these
two met once again in the Cabins
district. Love stories were retold,
two hearts were quickened again
after many years separation to the
thought that true love never dies
and plans were set in order for their
marriage,
