JOHN SCHMIDT
GOES TO JAIL
KenOsha County Saloon
keeper Sentenced in
Federal Court.
GETS A FINE ALSO
Proprietor of State Line Hotel
On Sheridan Road
Pleads Guilty.

Uncle Sam himself has stepped in
to put the shackles on saloonkeepers
who defy the law in Kenosha county
by traficing in illicit liquor, most of
which is the moonshine poison" which
they pass out to customers. Wednes-
day in the federal court in Milwaukee,
John Schmidt, proprietor of the State
Line hotel on South Sheridan road, was
given jail sentence as well as fine.
Schmidt, with seven indictments
against him, all charging liquor VIC
lations, pleaded guilty and threw him
self on the mercy of the court. The
indictments were returned as the re-
suit Of raids may by the federal pro-
hibition enforcement officers upon his
resort. The place is still running.
Gets Six Months In Jail.
Judge Geiger - the federal court
in Milwaukee, sentenced Schmidt to
pay a fine Of $500 and costs with the
addition of six months in the house
of correction. 1t will be the first
time that a Kenosha saloonkeeper has
gone to the house of correction for
violation of the liquor law since the
close of the grand jury trials held
here in 1921 and 1922.
Schmidt paid his fine and costs and
prepared to take leave of his place
on South Sheridan road through lilac
time. When he comes out of Jail, he
will undoubtedly be called into the
municipal court upon jury trials for
violation of the liquor law upon
information and testimony of Keno
sha county officers.
Other Cases Pending.
other cases are pending in the fed
eral court in Milwaukee in which
saloonkeepers from Kenosha county
are the defendants. AS the cases have
been set for trial with liquor men
from various parts of the state named
as defendants, many have entered
pleas of guilty. Fines and house
of correction sentences have been so
far the penalty.

Gas the years go by, other thou
sands Of children throughout the

that their fathers made the sacrifices,

poverty fell on their tender shoulders.
1.-THE American Legion has under
taken the task of providing home
for every dependent child CT a veter-
an and the protection of every veter-
ans widow and disabled veterans
wife, throughout the United States.
This undertaking is national affair,

it's share in promoting this great
work. Therefore, in the present cam
paign Of the American Legion for an
endowment fund, the purposes of
which are to insure proper care for
evrey war veteran, and home and
education for every dependent child,
I know that the people of the state of
Wisconsin will feel that the duty in
this matter is not a single one, but
will be shared by all the people of
the state.
Therefore, I, John j. Blaine, gov
ernor of the state Of Wisconsin, rec

UNIQUE ROMANCE
ELIMINATES HERE
Norwegian Girl Travels
5000 Miles to Wed
Kenoshan.
ARE MARRIED SUNDAY

Miss Gunhild Hsaland arrived in
Kenosha from Flekkefjord, Norway,
on May 9, to become the bride of Eric
Stohlbrand of this city. Mr.. Stohl-
brand left his native country one year
ago for California, but as he is tan
ner and could not find suitable en-
ployment there, he came eastward last
autumn, and accepted a position with
the N. r. Allen and Sons company
here.
But his loneliness in strange land
was accentuated by the absence of his
sweetheart, Miss Haaland, and he set
about persuading her to join him in
his new home.
Miss Haaland is the daughter of A.
A. Haaland, a retired sea-captain, who
for 80 years has sailed "the seven
seas" as the adventuring Vikings did
of old. 1t was no doubt this inherited
spirit of adventure which made the
5000 mile journey to America de-
lightful for the sailors daughter.
Marriage on Sunday.
The elimination of the long voyage
and courtship took place on Sunday,
May II, in a quiet marriage ceremony,
performed at St. Paul's Lutheran
church, by the Rev. ]. H. Johnson. The
church was beautifully decorated with
palms and cut flowers.
Mrs. Stohlbrand's dress was of
Harding blue canton crepe, beaded in
silver, and worn with silver bandeau
and grey slippers. Her corsage was
of lilies of the valley and pink roses.
The couple was unattended. After
the ceremony, Mr.. ard Mrs. Stohl-
brand were feted at a dinner, by Mr..
and Mrs. John Anderson, at their
home, 769 Park street. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stohlbrand will be at home to their
friends after June l at the Martin
apartments on South street.

ASK CLOSING OF
DEATH CROSSING
Safety Council Asks City
to Close Garden Street
Crossing.
OF MAIN TRACKS

Closing of tie dangerous Gardes
street crossing of the Northwestern
Railway company tracks in Kenosha
which crossing by reason of the nu.
merous accidents which have occurred
there during the past few months has
been given the name of death Cross
ing" is sought in petition sent to
the city council by the Kenosha Safe
ty council, part Of the Kenosha CIV
ic council. 1t is suggested that the
main tracks of the Northwestern line
at this crossing be fenced off but that
the roadway be left open to these
tracks so that the team tracks there
may continue to be used.
1t is suggested that this will do
much to lessen the hazard at the
crossing and that this should be done
even though it may result in some in
convenience to those who now use the
crossing despite it's proven danger.
Letter Explains Situation.
The letter proposing the closing OF
Garden street was sent to City Man
ager C. M. Osborn by Robert M
Smith, secretary of the Kenosha Civic
council, to be presented to the city
council at its next meeting. 1t reads
as follows:
"At meeting held on May Id, the
Kenosha Safety council discussed the
matter of the Chicago and Northwest
ern railroad crossing at Garden street
at which place several serious acct
dents have occurred lately resulting
in the loss of life.
"After considering various means
for eliminating the hazard on this
street, it was unanimously voted to
recommend to the city authorities
that steps be taken to close that por-
ton of Garden street crossing the
main tracks of the Chicago and North
western railway company and to ex-
tend the present fence between the
main tracks north across Garden
street.
at is felt that this will relieve the
situation until such time as track
elevation becomes effective and will
in no wise interfere with the use of
the team tracks west of the main
line"
Coroner Sought the Same.
CorOHeE JoSSPH CIlSHO, IOLloWlHR an
investigation into the most recent
death at this crossing made similar
suggestion to the city manager, ask
ing that this request be taken to the
city council.
There have been four deaths at the
crossing since the first of the year.
Two of these were in an automobile
accident there, when two were killed,
another was the death of a. fagman
and the last of q pedestrian, who had
arrived in Kenosha on one train and
stepped onto the tracks in front of
another. The fence suggested would
eliminate both of these classes of ac-
cidents.

"There is decided feeling of OPP

easy battle for them, but they have
gone at it bravely and they are COM

wisconsin can well be proud of it's
farmers. The entire state is depend
ent on its agriculture, and Wisconsin's
farmers have put its major industry
back on its feet"

Joseph Alvin Proctor of
Crystal Falls Michigan,
Pleads Guilty.
WAS JUST AN IMPULSE
Proctor Told Court He Didn't
Know What Came Over Him
When He Took Car.

Two years for the impulse of 9
momentl That is what John Alvin
Proctor will pay for stealing an auto
mobile Thursday evening. This morn
ing Proctor was brought into the
municipal court before. Judge Slater
confronted to the charge which was
read to him, and he pleaded guilty
He said that in taking the car he
had yielded to an impulse"
az was feeling too good" he said
II wanted to go to Chicago all Of a
sudden and | saw this car so took it. y
Had Taken His Suit Cases.
In further explanation of the i'm
pulse, Proctor said that he had just
engaged room for week In advance
showing that he intended to stay in
Kenosha at least for that length OF
time, when an uncomfortable impulse
to take the car overcame him.
Police Captain Clausen, however
secuted the theory that the notion
had walked into Proctor's mind all Of
a sudden like bee in bonnet. He
said that the man had taken his suit
cases from the room and had them
with him in the car, showing that he
had no intention of returning to
Kenosha.
Is Sent to Waupun.
Proctor was a we'll dressed, clearly,
persopable young man when he APP
peared before Judge Slater this morn

home as Crystal Falls, Mich. He said
he had been in Kenosha only week
Investigation of his past by the police
showed no former convictions against
him; on the other hand he was unable
to give any record of steady employ
ment. He himself told the police that
he was wanted at Iron City, Mich, on
the charge of assaulting a girl and
this statement was verified by mes
sages from the Michigan police.
Judge Slater sentenced Proctor to
two years in the state prison at Wau-

Towns Must Accept
City Annexation

Evanston, Ill.-Despite the objec-
lions of suburban citizens, the suburbs
bounding Chicago will soon be fed
Grated into solid mass with the
middlewestern metropolis, said Prof
William Bailey, Northwestern univer-
sity sociologist and specialist in pop
ulation movements.
The borough systems Of London and
New York city are apt to be the So
luton to the problem, Prof Bailey
stated. Evanston, Oak Park. Wilmette,
Niles Center, may be consolidated In
to Chicago as were all the surburbs of
Berlin, when the German capital COM
pletely annexed all of its suburbs.
Prof. Bailey admits that the an
nexation Is not likely to be popular
with suburban dwellers and deplores
the supercillious attitude of the com
muter toward the city.
"These towns and especially Evans
ton, must realize that hey are located
in the path of the city, that they
cannot hope to block progress of an
irresistible force. 1t is inevitable
that the people must give up home
residential districts, and that they
will become a district OF apartments
and apartment hotels.
Evanston should not grieve at CIV
ing up the title of college town, .
but should rather have pride in being
known as university city" he said.
"This would be the cultural center
for libraries, publishing, museums and
galleries all eentering around North
western university.
Such a place would provide for a
greater Chicago; the towns taken in
might retain certain amount of self
government; they might tax them
selves, but they cannot stay progress
by SNUG self satisfaction.
