OUTLINE PLANS FOR
BADGER CAMP Align
LaFollette Controlled Committee in
Wisconsin to be Ignored by
National Body.

Chicago, Ill.--An outline of the ma
jor aspects of the campaign in
Wisconsin in behalf of President Cool
idge and Charles G. Dawes, the Re-
publican vice presidential nominee,
was contained today in formal pub
lie statement by Roy 0. West, secre-
tary of the Republican national COM
mittee.
Mr.. West asserted that the cam
paign will be conducted entirely indie
pendently of the Republican organiza-
ton in Wisconsin.
In response to a question Mr.. West
stated that appointment of new ma
tional committee members in Wiscon-
sin to fill the vacancies created by the
recent designations of the supporters
of Senator La Toilette, who had been
regularly elected to the committee, had
not been seriously considered and that
the matter probably would go over
until after the election in November.
He emphasized that the new over-
head organization in Wisconsin would
be for the express purpose of carrying
on the campaign for the national tick
ct and that state candidates. will not
be considered. A state caucus Of the
Coolidge-andDaw supporters sched-
uled for Milwaukee on August Sth is
entirely in the hands of the Wisconsin
forces, he said.

MEN HELD FOR MURDER
TO HAVE HEARING
Lewis and John Brandt, Charged With
the Death of Their Father, VIII
Have Hearing Today.

Marinette, Wis. - Lewis and John
Brandt Jr., who were arrested in Mil
waukee last Tuesday and brought here
on a charge of murder by arson in
connection with the death of John
Brandt Sr., in a fire which destroyed a
barn near Crivitz on July 5, 1921, will
have their preliminary hearing at 9
o'clock today before Court Commits
sioner L. NJ Evert, and not before
Justice /. j. Jensen, as was first plan
ned. The last minute change resulted
when a change Of venue was taken,
asked by Dist Atty. A. F. Murphy.
At the hearing this afternoon, the
state, according to Mr.. Murphy, will
demand that the brothers be bound
over to circuit court on a charge Of
first degree murder. He has indicated
that the states case against the broth
ers is complete and that he will ask
for a speedy trial. When asked re-
garding reports that the body of John
Brandt Sr. was ordered exhumed by
him, Murphy stated the order had new
er been given and that he knew moth
ing about it. Ten witnesses will be
heard at the hearing, among them Mrs
John Brandt, mother of the boys; Mrs.
Lewis Brandt, wife of one of the de-
PENDANTS, and Vincent Kotecki. 1t was

place, from Selma avenue to Sheri-
dan road, "a feet.
A recommendation of the city man
ager that new heating plant be pur-
chased for the municipal greenhouse
at cost of $500, was passed The
report showed that the use of the
greenhouse had, made it possible to
raise plants for the parks at an aver
age cost of eight cents each, this be-
ing a great saving for the city.
Close Two Land Deals.
Two land deals which have been
endorsed several weeks ago, were
formally closed at the council meet
ing. One of these was for the pur-
chase of the Pennoyer park tract at
the north limits of the city,, the pur-
chase of which was announced several
weeks ago. The other was for the
transfer of a strip of harbor frontage
to the city by the United States gov
eminent, this being returned to the
city without cost.
The city ordinance to make it pos
sible to arraign liquor law offenders
on a city charge, was also adopted.
A resolution directing that the money
paid into the treasury from fines for
the violation of this ordinance should
be divided half and half to the funds
for the erection of a new police sta
ton and for the buying of new park
tracts was also passed. Last year had
this ordinance been effective more
than $4,000 would have been poured
into the city Golfers.

MUST RIP OUT
OPENSTAIRWAYS
Stairways Encroaching on
Street and Alleys Order
ed Removed.
DECIDE ON PAVING
Asphaltic Concrete Paving to
Be Laid on Pearl Street
and Fairfield Avenue.

Outside stairways, leading to second
floors of buildings in Kenosha, and
located upon the public streets and
alleys, are soon to be things of the
past in Kenosha. The city council at
its regular meeting on Monday even
ing passed a resolution declaring that
such stairways are encroachments on
the public streets and distractions to
the public use of such streets and
alleys and as such are nulsances which
must be removed. The resolution
directed the city manager and the city
attorney to notify owners of such
stairways to remove them within
period of forty days and in the event
thar they were not ripped out at the
end of that time to institute proper
legal proceedings to force the removal
of these stairways.
The question has long been under
discussion by the council, it being
shown that the stairways constituted
real FIRE hazard, inasmuch as they
prevented the use of the alleys for
fire trucks and that they were UNI
seemly. It is maintained that in
nearly every instance the owners
could find space within the buildings
for the stairways.
May Cause Remodelling.
There are not less than ten such
stairways in various parts of the city.
A number of these have been ripped
out in recent years and permits for
the installation of any outer stairways
have been refused for several years
past. The carrying out of the order
will necessitate the remodeling of
several buildings if the second story
rooms are to be leased as they have
been heretofore.
The resolution adopted by the coun-
Gil says nothing regarding stairways
leading into basement.
Set Types of Paving.
A lively discussion ensued when the
council held the hearing regarding the
types Of paving to be used on Orchard,
Edward, Pearl and Fairfield avenue.
Scores of property owners and the in
terested contractors were present and
appeared before the council for the
various types Of paving, the fight
centering on the type for Fairfield
avenue. Charges flew hot and fast
that contractors had circulated peti-
tions in violation of general under
standing that it was to be left up to
the property owners.
The council finally decided upon re-
inforced concrete paving for Orchard
street and Edward street and asphalt
tic concrete for Pearl street and Fair
field avenue.
Protest on Assessments.
A storm broke from clear sky
when more than score Of property
owners along North Lyman avenue ap-
peared before the council to, back a
protest filed against the assessments
made for the opening of that street
from the north boundary of Rice Park
second addition to Albers street.
They wanted to know who signed the
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1924-08-07

petition, how the assessments had
been made and what relief could be
found for them.
The petition which started the ac-
ton was introduced and other docu-
ments shown to prove that the pro-
ceeding had been exactly as prescribed
by law. 1t developed that the time
for the property owners to appeal to
the court had passed and that their
only chance for lessening of the
assessments was by action of the
council Tho property owners while
proper legal publication of the pro-
cedure had been made had failed to
protest at the former hearings, only
being reused to action when they re-
ceived notices of assessments.
The council referred the protest to
the committee Of the whole to find out
if a review of the proceedings was
now possible.
To Build New Garage.
Blue-prints for the new city garage
to be erected on Pearl street, were
presented to the council and approved.
The building will cost probably in the
neighborhood of $4,000, the cost be-
ing kept down by the use of old brick
from the Brand building on Main
street near the bridge and by the
use Of city labor in the erection of
some parts of the building. The ga
rage will be 100 feet long and so feet
wide and will be ample to house the
cars owned by the city.
A plat for the Lakeland subdivision,
owned by C. ]. Heide and M. j. Iser-
mann and located along the lake
shore south of the present city lin
its was approved
A petition for the paving of Selma
avenue from Park avenue to Ann
street was granted, this to be part of
the 1925 paving program. The widths
for paving on the following streets
was established: Steinbach court, from
Bronson street to Linden street, "a
feet; Engel street, from Strong to
Collins street. q feet; Pickwick

LADY GUILTY
OF SPEEDING
Fights Case in Court at
Hearing But Loses Be-
fore Judge.
FOX FIRED SHOTS

Harry E. Lady, salesman for a con-
fectionery concern, fought the charge
of speeding in the municipal court
Monday afternoon, but lost out, for
Judge Slater after hearing the evl-
dence in the case found him guilty,
and gave him, fine of $15 and costs.
Lady was arrested by Special Po-
lice officer Emil Fox after eleven
O'Clock on the night of July 31st. Fox
chased Lady in another car, and when
he did not stop, fired shots in the air.
Thought it Was a Bandit.
According to the testimony Of Fox
he saw Lady speeding oh Rowland
avenue and followed him, jumping into
another car for that purpose. Lady
was going at 35 miles an hour until
they got to Sixth avenue, he said. At
that street Fox turned his gun in the
air and shot several times. At that
Lady went on still faster, going Az
miles an hour, until under fire he
stopped farther out, and permitted
himself to be arrested. Police Officer
John Cunningham testified that he
stood on the corner of Rowland ana
saw Lady speeding.
Lady's story was that he did not
know it was an officer in pursuit
81 was late going out on Salem ave-
nue., following a string of cars" he
testified. "When l got to Rowland
avenue there was car at the curb.
1t shot ahead of me, tried to cut into
the string and / wouldn't let 1T. We
got up the street ways and this fell
low pulled to my right and hollered
something at me. l thought he was
bawling me out for not letting him
get by. Then he tried to freeze me
over to the curb. / thought he had
me mixed up with somebody else or
that he was a bandit or hold-up man.
Then l put the foot on the accelerator
and just kept going. / didn't recognize
Fox as an officer. l didn't know him
and didn't see his uniform. l had
been making collections and was car
rying between $3.50 and 5000 in cur
rency. The man shot at me as we got
in front of the garage near the Grand
View Inn. At first / thought it was
blowout. Finally there were so many
shots got scared. stopped. Thought
I'd let him get the dough. Then l
saw by the dash-light as he got out Of
the car that he wore a uniform"
Judge Slater said, 81 can understand
that there might be a case where
man would be honestly mistaken and
think somebody was after him to rob
him, but it does not seem to apply in
this case. 1t was on Salem avenue, a
lighted street, with three or four 9TH
er cars there. The defendant the
testimony shows was speeding thirty
five miles an hour before he got to
Sixth avenue, before he had any
thought OF the other car. Fifteen dol
lars and costs or twenty days in jail"
Lady paid the fine. City Attorney
C. E. Randall represented the city in
the prosecution of the case, and At
torney Leo Vaudreuil the defendant.
