New Models.

This is the time Of year that the
1926 model automobile comes out,
thus filling the owners Of the crude
1925 variety with shame and indig-
nation.
Progress goes by leaps and
bounds in automobile making. In the
spring we gaze with awe and ad-
miration at the latest model cars
and the following fall we yell lee
as they rumble down the street.
Last year the world clutehed the
balloon tire and four wheel brakes
to its bosom with great ecstaey.
This year it will undoubtedly dis
cover something which will make
these innovations as tame as a rub
ber-tired buggy.
What this something may be, no
one knows, but it might be one OF
many things. For example, great
Improvement would be a pay-as-
you-enter box for friends going your
way.
Then again, some great inventor
may devise a speed cop detector
which would ring a buzzer in the car
when within two blocks of one.
A vacuum cleaner to remove dust
from the road in front of the car or
a swivel bearing, enabling the own
er to turn the car upside down and
examine its most intimate parts,
might be expected.
A patent funnel to receive pedes-
trians, dust them off and deposit
them in the back seat would be very
/ popular as a means of saving liabil-
ity insurance and a device that
would automatically lock the old bus
when it cost over a fixed sum a
month would be a great advertising
feature.
Any one of these suggestions
might be taken up by some astute
automobile manufacture with profit
to himself. If adopted for 1927
they will make the buyers of the new
1926 models just coming out green
with envy.

Seeks to Improve
Apple Orchards

Bayfield,, Wis. = - - Better con-
troll of fire-blight in apple orchards is
sought by A. N. Brooks of the plant
pathology department at the agricul-
tural experiment station here, who
has been experimenting for two sea-
sons in large commercial orchards. Mr..
Brooks told the summer meeting of
the state horticultural society that
new and better methods of controll-
ing the disease may be developed soon.
The disease is carried over during
the winter on apple trees to much
greater extent than was expected, Mr..
Brooks found He said it is carried
by rain to different parts of the tree,
being especially injurious where small
wounds have been made in the leaf
and twig tissues by insects and
storms. The experiments were car
ried on near Menominie in Dunn coun-
ty, and at Gay Mills in Crawford
county.
Fire-blight has been serious thru
out Wisconsin this season, Mr.. Brooks
said. He questioned the desirablity
of cutting out blighted twigs as they
appear, and recommended that it be
delayed until late fall or winter.

Kenoshan's Vacation
George BickfOrd, Kenosha, Has Car
Damaged in Strange Accident
in Lebanon Saturday.

An accident marred a vacation trip
for George Bickford, director of
recreation for Kenosha, on Saturday
when his automobile was badly dam
aged in a crash that occurred at
Lebanon, Indiana, early Saturday
morning. Mr. Bickford had driven
into Lebanon on Friday evening early
and had left his car parked in front
of the hotel. Saturday morning when
he returned to his car, he found that
it had been struck by another car
and badly damaged.
Police there stated that a large
touring car driven by an Indianapolis
woman, had crashed into the Bick-
ford sedan about three o'clock Sat
urday morning. The woman had at
tempted to drive on but the police
had halted the car and were inves-
tigating the case. The car which hit
the Bickford autom obile was owned
by Floyd Cline, 221 North Noble
street, indianapolis. Mr.. Bickford
has turned his case over to an attor-
ney to secure a settlement.
It will take several days for the
Bickford car to be repaired and dur
ing that time the Bickfords are per
force mentioning in Lebanon.

Police are working on two angles in
the case at the present time. One is
that the shooting may have come as a
climax to a feud that may have ex-
listed between the two men for some
time. This theory is discounted, how
ever, by friends of the two men, who
insist that they were the best of
friends.
May Have Been BrawI.
The second theory, and the one
which police are ready to accept as
the most plausible Of the two, is that
the shooting may have come as the
result of a heated argument in the
center Of a drunken brawl. Chiappet-
ia and Cisto may have been together
for a time late in the evening. The
saloon on Pearl street was closed at
midnight, according to the police, be-
cause it was so reported when detec-
tives made their survey Of the west
side Saturday night. The two men, ac-
cording to the police theory, may have
been at the saloon when the place was
closed and then may have gone out
together, perhaps to a roadhouse. The
police have evidence that Chiappetta
was intoxicated at the time of the
shooting and this fact strengthens
their theory that the fight may have
come out of drunken brawl.
On Sunday night Coroner Joseph
Friend ordered post-mortem on the
remains of Chiappetta in an attempt
to get the bullets believed to be lodg-
ed in his body. The examination was
made at the Cardinal Funeral home
where the body was taken from the
hospital Physicians found one Of the
bullets lodged on the left side Just
below the heart, and the second bull
let is believed to have cut path
through the leg of the man and gone
out on the other side, A hemorrhage
was given as the cause of his death.
In the meantime warrant charging
first degree manslaughter has been
sworn out by the police for Cisto, and
Coroner Joseph Friend has announced
that he will not call an inquest until
after the man is taken into custody.

Felix Mayer, city sealer and superin-

LITTLE BOB'S"
CAMPAIGN ON
r.. M. La Toilette Jr. Makes
Maiden Campaign Speech
at StOughtOn.
RAPS COOLIDGE PLANS

Stoughton, Wis &C Robert M.
LaFollette,- Jr., assailed the Mellon
tax plan and demanded that the in
heritance tax be retained to pay Off
the war debt, in an address here last
night opening his campaign for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator to fill his fathers un-
expired term.
al demand that this war debt shall
be paid by taxing those great fortunes
which were either founded upon or
increased by the war;" he declared.
Young Bob's address which marked
virtually his first important appear
ance before the public as a political
speaker, was an extensive discussion
of federal taxation, summary of
progressive achievements under his
fathers leadership and an outline of
his platform in the present campaign.
Calls Economies Petty.
Criticising petty economies at Wash
ington, he said, that further reduc-
tion of federal taxes must come from
the reduction of naval and military
expenses to a defense and collection
of the debts of the Europeans nations
to the United States. He proposed
three steps in "a sound program of
tax reduction" which were:
/, Abolish the remaining special
war taxes-so-called nuisance taxes"
2. Increase income tax exemptions
to $4,000 for heads of families and to
$1,000 for single men and women.
3. Reduce the super taxes by what
ever amount remains after the aboh-
tion of the nuisance taxes" and the
exemption of the first $4,000 of per-
sonal income.
Criticizes Coolidge Administration,
off there is to be further reduc-
ton in the burden of federal taxes,
it must be secured through the action
of congress-" said Mr.. LaFollette.
"The Coolidge administration has
reached the end of it's rope. It's
chief spokesman in the house and
senate--Congressman Madden, chair
man of the house appropriations COM
mittee and Senator Smoot, chairman
of the senate finance committee--both
have stated publicly that government
tai expenditures have reached rock
bottom and that from this time for
ward federal appropriations and fed
eral taxes will both increase. That is
the administration program"
Mr.. LaFollette criticized the Cool
idge administration and its policies,
particularly the Mellon plan, which
he said was written in the interests of
wealth and special privilege. An eff
fort will be made to put the plan
through at the coming session of con-
gress, he declared, and one vote may
turn the balance.

SHOT ATTEINP
TO ENTER HOUSE
Lee West Is In Hospital
With Bullet Wound in
Neck Today.
TRIED TO SEE HIS WIFE
District Attorney Starts Probe
of Latest Shooting On
Ellison Avenue.

An attempt to enter the home where
his wife was staying nearly proved fla
tai to Lee West, COS Strong street,
early today, when he was shot in the
neck by Hugh Morton, 500 Ellison
avenue. West is at st. GATHERINGS
hospital where his wounds are being
treated, while Morton is being held in
custody while an investigation is be-
ing conducted by District Attorney
Lewis Powell. No formal charges
have as yet been placed against Nor
ton for the shooting.
The first information that police re
ceived telling of the shooting on Eli
son avenue was when West himself,
with blood streaming from the wound
in his neck, appeared in the police Of
flee at two o'clock this morning. He
told Sergeant Mathew Kirsch that he
had been shot by Hugh Morton with
a rifle. West was rushed to ST. Cath
crimes hospital and Sergeant Kirsch
and officer Joseph Beam went out to
the home on Ellison avenue, the scene
of the shooting. Morton was placed
had told his story.
Out of Family Quarrel.
West, it appears from the story that
the police learned in their investiga-
ton of the shooting, has been separ-
ated from his wife since March of
this year. Mrs. Eva West, his wife,
has been making her home with the
Morton's since that time.
West came to the home about 1 :45
o'clock early today and demanded that
he be allowed to see his wife. Morton
and his wife and family of four chill
dren were ali sleeping at the time, and
when awakened by the commotion at
the front door he insisted that that
hour was no time to visit, and told
West to come back the next day. Nor
ton refused to allow West to enter
the home. But not satisfied with this
rebuff West began pounding on the
door and threatening to break in if
Morton would not come and open the
door.
Threatened to Shoot.
Morton realized then, he told the
police, that West was drunk and dan
gerous, and he threatened shooting
him if West would not leave at once
West replied with an oath and broke
down the door. AS he entered the
room in the home where Morton had
been answering him, Morton shot at
him with a small caliber rifle, the bull
let striking West in the left side of
his neck. West then left and drove in
"a Ford car to the police station where
he reported the shooting.
After West had been taken to the
hospital by the police, search was
made of the car in front of the police
Office. There officers found two pint
bottles of Intoxicating liquor. One
was half filled with whiskey and the
other was filed with pure alcohol. The
license number on the Ford was for a
car that had been issued to Harry w
Kirn, 437 Congress street.
Whether charges will be placed
against West or not has not yet been
indicated, and both Morton and West
will be held in custody until orders
from the district attorneys Office show
a disposition of the case.
