REPORT REVEALS
FIGHT ON BOOZE
$20,975 Paid in Fines as
Result of Police Raids
in 1924.
MANY JAIL SENTENCES
Jail Sentences for Period Total
Five Years, Four Months
and Six Days.

How active the Kenosha police de-
parttnent has been during the year
1924 in enforcing the liquor laws was
revealed this morning in a repor'
made to Carl Henning, a state dry
official, showing the arrests that have
been made here under the state dry
laws. The statistics for the state
enforcement officers are being collect.
ed and the report was sought in CON
nection with the yearly report of that
office.
The report as forwarded by Chief
Logan this morning showed that dur
ing 1924 the kenosha police made 15s
arrests for violation Of the state Ii
quor laws, in Kenosha. OF these cas-
es 33 were dismissed and 3 dismissed
upon the payment of costs. The re-
mainder either entered pleas of gull
ty or were convicted.
Paid $2O,975 in Fines.
The records show that a total OF
$2o,9751 in fines was paid during the
year by men convicted of violations
of the state liquor laws. In addition
to these fines jail sentences totalline
five years, four months and six days
were imposed.
Each month a report of activities in
enforcing the state liquor laws is
made by the police to state headquar-
tiers. Several times during the year
the police here have been commended
for their activity as the report show
ed more raids here than in other Sec
tions Of the state. This was given as
q reason why more state raids were
not staged here during the year.
The state report for the year will
be Forthcoming within few days and
will be watched with interest through
out the state.
Does Not Show All.
The reprt to the state enforcement
Office does not show all of the police
cases for the enforcement of the dry
laws. During the past six months
some of the violators have been book
ed for violations of the city ordinance
bringing the total number Of arrests
over the 200 mark. The majority of
the cases, however, are still booked
under violations of the state law to
avoid chances for evading the law on
a technicality when such seems at all
probable.

Baxter, Otto and Irving,
Held as Accessories,
Discharged.
STILL BE WITNESSES
The Three Will Be Called as
Witnesses in Liquor Cases;
Testimony Is Now In.

The cases against Richard Baxter,
Carl Otto and Charles Irving, each
charged with being accessory after the
fact of the manslaughter of Truman
T. Parker and Miss Jean Parker, were
dismissed in the municipal court this
morning by Judge Slater on the mo-
ton of the district attorney. The de-
PENDANTS, who have been under bonds
since September, were discharged.
It was not expected that either of the
three young men would be brought to
trial but they were kept under bonds
by the district attorneys office in
order that they would be available as
witnesses in the case against Edward
Thomas, charged with manslaughter,
and in the several liquor cases arts
ing out of the tragedy Of September
IA, when the coroner of Kenoshs
courtyard his daughter were killed
by the joy-riding car with drunken
driver at the wheel.
Since Edward Thomas is now in the
state prison and before he left the
county jail to serve his time.
The other three young men will still
be required to give their testimony in
the preliminary hearings of the liquor
men whose cases were adjourned at
ter the Thomas testimony was in.
|. The men charged with violations of
hae liquor law are Abe Rubenstein,
Sam Rubenstein, John Hains, John Lip
kowski and John Zimmerman. They
are alleged to have sold moonshine and
alcohol to Edward Thomas and the
others on September ID, prior to the
accident when the Parkers were struck
and killed.
Otto, Irving and Baxter have given
their testimony several times, at the
inquest, at the preliminary hearing of
Edward Thomas, and again in circuit
court, after Thomas pleaded guilty
when Judge Belden called for a re-
view of the facts.
All three testified to day of de-
bauch on Sunday, September IA, and to
drinking bouts now at one saloon and
now at another. These it is believed
will be sufficient to bind the liquor
men over at the hearing. The vari-
Gus adjournments of the liquor cases
will probably not bring them into
court for trial until the opening Of
the April term.

Argue Validity
of Bank Tax Law


Madison, Wis. - The constitutional
ity Of the Wisconsin lew taxing nation
al banks on their capital stock is at
stake before the Wisconsin supreme
court.
The statute is being attacked in the
suit Of the First National Bank of
Hartford. Wis, against the city of
Hartford to recover taxes alleged to
have been illegally assessed and col
lected The bank claims that the law
is discriminatory because it taxes the
bank at higher rate than other mon
eyed capital coming in competition
with the bank.
Several other state bank as well as
national bank cases are pending in the
lower courts.
An attempt is being made in the leg
islature to clear up the situation by
amending the law to tax banks and
trust companies on their income in
stead of on their capital stock. A
hearing on the taxation committee bill
making that modification is scheduled
for Friday afternoon.

COLLEGE LIFE is
SUBJECT OF TALK
Or. e. Burns Martin Dis
cusses RumOrs OF
Universities.
READS MANY LETTERS

"American colleges are as good or
as bad as the material they receive
from American homes" declared Dr..
u. Burns Martin, in spirited address
last evening at the Park Avenue M. +.
church on "What Ais Our College
Youth 2" According to recent pub
licity given the situation by novelists
and journalists, something vital alls
this particular strata of society and
Dr. Martin set himself last night to the
task Of probing into the question.
"The delinquent parent" he said,
'is responsible for the trend toward
responsibility and vice in our col
leges. The college is limited and
handicapped by the training Of the
students in homes and high schools.
IF youths of high school age run riot
at home and participate in vicious
pastimes, what can be expected OF the
same youths when they leave home,
and go into a college environment?
Raps p. T. A. Dances.
Dancing of the worst sort is done
in Kenosha, by high school young
people, DR.. Martin pointed out. This
sort of thing can be seen even at the
P. T. A. dances, where the youth
knows he can "get by" with an alco-
holic breath and suggestive dancing,
he said. The pastor also criticized the
p. II. A. organization for its apparent
neglect of the original purpose, for
the more urgent need of making
money for the schools.
Colleges and universities, he said,
differ from those of generation ago
in several respects, and the three
main causes are: changed economic
conditions; the new status Of woman;
the decrease of churchmen as college
heads.
In his own college days, he said,
lack of money was the chief problem,
but today it seems that there is a
weighty question in spending a maxi
mum amount. Students arriving in big
cars to their classes are likely to
lose sight of the ideal purposes of
an education.
Women Now Equal to Men.
"The fact that women are today on
a par with men, when a few years ago
they were mems superiors, is signi-
ficant in studying the college situa-
tion," he continued. 81 could never
understand why it is considered I'M
womanly for a girl to smoke, when
it is thought manly for boy to do
the same thing"
Previous to the evenings service
DR.. Martin had laiSN anA, extensive
foundation for his address. In ans
wer to letters to sKrdents, professors
and churchmen third uohout the country
che received a shekk Of interesting cor
respondehce, partk - which he read
last@Fening to shs :, 4,e ysious view
points Of college folb@
- Particularly interesting were letters
from two girl students, one at the
University Of Wisconsin, and one at
Northwestern university, which gave
the modern students reaction to the
conditions which exist in present-day
college life.
Letters from Harry Emerson Fos-
dick, Glenn Frank, Bishop Hughes
Bishop Locke, President Naylor, and
others, were read last evening. The
pulpit was decorated with pennants
and insignias of various colleges and
universities and collegiate music added
to the general atmosphere of the
evening.

Archbishop Messmer. is suffering

Declares War on
Illegal Drivers

New York City. Fifty-fve taxi
drivers had been arrested and 1900
served with summonses in a police
roundup of criminals operating taxi
cabs without licenses.
Thirty-fve were arraigned in night
court. Nine were sentenced to the
work-house for operating without IL
censes. Fines of $25 to $50 were inn
posed against the others.
The drive was result of the reve-
lation of conditions which followed
the fatal shooting two weeks ago of
Dennis J. Kenny, son of wealthy
Brooklyn contractor, by chauffeur
who was operating without license
and who had criminal record.

Peter ShuIuy and Stanley
GOzOlki Hurt When
Mill Explodes.
FACES BADLY BURNED
Little Property Damage Done
to Blast Which Was Hardly
Felt at Other Places.
BULLETIN.

Peter ShuIuy, aged 80 years, one
of the powder mill workers badly
burned in an explosion at the
Hercules Powder company at
Pleasant Prairie, this morning,
died Just before two o'clock this
afternoon at the KenOsha hospital
from his injuries.
Hope is held out for the recovery
of Stanley GozOlki, the other work
man burned in the blast.
Shuluy was native of Lith-
uaRia. He had been employed at
the powder mill for the past year
and previous to that time had
worked at the plant at intervals.
He was considered a most careful
workman.
The deceased was unmarried.
He is survived by brother.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1925-02-19

Two workmen were badly burned
one possibly fatally, at eight o'clock
this morning when Wheel Mill No. 2
of the Hercules Powder company plar
at Pleasant Prairie, where they were
working, exploded. The injured men,
who were hurried to tho Kenosha hos
pital for treatment, are:
Peter .Shuluy, badly burned about
the face, arms and shoulders; burns
may prove fatal.
Stanley Gozolki, also badly burned
about the face, but probably not
seriously.
Very little property damage was
done by the explosion; a part of the
roof Of the wheel mill and portion
Of the front Of it were destroyed, but
little other damage occurred. The ex-
plosion itself was so slight that il was
not felt at all in the nearby village
Of Pleasant Prairie and only by
few OF the workmen at the plant
Of the company.
Cause Is Uncertain.
Shuluy and Gozolki were the only
ones working in the mill at the time
the explosion occurred. Gozolki, who
was able to talk after the explosion,
is said to have stated that all he
could remember was that there was
fash; the only explanation for the
explosion is that some foreign ma
teriRl -must have gotten into the pow
der. A small piece Of rock or steel
might have thus caused the explosion.
Workmen in a nearby mill heard the
blast and hurried to the scene. When
they reached there Gozolki was able
to walk around, and in his excitement
had jumped into a barrel of water,
kept near for fire fighting, and ex.
tinguished the flames on his own
clothing.
Shuluy, however, was sitting on the
ground nearby and was so badly burn
ed that he was semi-unconscious. inc
men were taken to the Office where
DR.. A. j. Lowe tended them. Later
they were brought to the Kenosha hos
piatl in the Hansen ambulance.
Faces Burned Black.
Both men were terribly burned;
each had his face burned to a crisp
and Shuluy in addition was badly
burned about the arms, neck and
shoulders and may have inhaled some
of the fumes.
Due to the precautions which ars
always in force at the Hercules plant,
the explosion. was prevented from
spreading to any other part Of tbs
property Of the company. An inves-
tigation is being made to determine
absolutely, if possible, what was the
cause of the explosion but oficials
are firm in their belief that it was
an unavoidable accident caused by a
piece Of steel or rock getting into the
powder in some way or other.
