on special dais. 1t was a colorful
scene, the trees surrounding the
grounds eSHctively setting off the
striking robes of the chiefs and the
masses of scarlet wild flowers.
A big send-off was given to the
prince at Seccondee. He walked
through long lines of native children
singing the national anthem, and
shouts of God bless the Prince of
Wales were heard as the train left
the station. Before entraining the
prince received $50 men who served
in the war, and shook hands with
each one of them.

experienced the intense heat of

The whole town of Seccondee was
decorated Native chiefs appeared in
bejeweled palanquins, and the en-
thusiasm and excitement was the
greatest ever known in that Gold

tense heat merely was glorious sun
shine, and the prince was welcomed
to a great display of African wealth
and rich costumes.
Upon landing, the prince proceeded
to small hill overlooking the new
harbor, which is still under construc-
ton. On the summit he unveiled a
memorial commemorating his visit

tering days still ahead, as he goes

Seeks Police Who Can
Outwit Criminals

Philadelphia Brains, more
than physical prowess, will be sought
hereafter in recruits for the Phila-
delphia police department, under a
recent ruling of the Civil Service
Commission. The decision, announced
after Investigations by the commits
sion and Director of Public Safety
Smedley D. Butler, will become effec-
tive with the next batch of candidates.
Criminals are keen-witted and
quick-thinking policemen are needed
to keep abreast of them, the commits
sion said. A new code of tests for
prospective blue-coats will be put into
practice, designed, as far as practic-
able, to predict the efficiency of q
policeman"
Under the old system candidate
was given three points for physical
qualification, three for training and
experience, and one each for practical
questions, observation and personal
interview. The revised code will rank
physical qualifications at two points;
training and experience, two and one
half; practical questions, two; per-
sonal interview two and one-half.
Most important, the new code will
measure the prospective policeman's
thinking ability. Hypothetical situa-
tions will be sketched and the candi-
date asked to state his actions under
leach condition. He will be graded &C
cordingly.

Birth Recording
Is More General

Madison, Wis -, Opening Of
Wisconsin schools has stimulated the
recording of children's births, the
state bureau of vital statistics re-
ported today.
Applications are received daily for
birth certificates to prove that chill
dren have reached school age or to
furnish evidence of age where it is
required for participation in schoc'
athletics. Official evidence of age 70
admission to school is not required
by state law, but local rules to this
effect are becoming universal, the
board of health, which collects the
vital statistics, stated.
If the births have been recorded,
parents receive a card certifying the
fact. If it has not been recorded by
the physician or other attendant, the
law permits parents to fill out
record form which is filed as an
original record for preservation in the
state archives. A duplicate is filed
with the register of deeds.
Tests made in Wisconsin a few
years ago by federal census agents
proved that birth reporting was more
than go per cent complete, entltleing
the state to continue as a member of
the U, S. birth registration area.

JUDGE SIMPLY

Judge Slater Kept MiIwau-
kee Lawyers Waiting
Two Hours.
FIVE MORE DIVORCES
A posse" of Out-of- Town
Lawyers Besiege Judge
with Divorce Cases.

Something of q comedy was pre-
scented in the municipal court Thurs
day afternoon when five Milwaukee
lawyers, their several clients and wit
nesse awaited Judge Skaters pleasure
for the putting on" of certain
divorce cases from out-of-town. But
Judge Slater did not care about the
pleasure"
This morning however, the divorces
are on record as granted, but the
Milwaukee attorneys are doubtless
remembering the discipline which they
received at the hands of the Kenosha
municipal judge.
Up and down in the court room
for the judge to please come and take
the bench. Outside in the corridor
the judge paced up and down, MUIR
muring, ''tI's an outraged" He went
to his Office and transacted other
business and allowed the Milwaukee
lawyers to cool their heels.
Finally arter waiting nearly two
hours, a couple Of the out-of-town
attorneys began to gather up their
move. Just then Judge Slater came
to the bench. There was Kenosha
attorney waiting with case to
be tried, and the Judge did not like
to have him disciplined along with
the others.
Tell Them What's What.
III want to say something to you
gentlemen from Milwaukee" said
Judge Slater. "There is not another
court in the state of Wisconsin, ex-
cepting the municipal court and the
district court in, Milwaukee, that have
the volume of business that this court
has. My clerks have worked every
night until ten o'clock since Labor
Day year ago trying to catch up, and
they have worked every Sunday also
without extra compensation. The
board has allowed an extra clerk, but
we have all we can do to take care
of the legal court work of the city
and county of Kenosha.
II appreciate the fact hat there are
some out-of-town cases which should
be given immediate hearing, but it has
become the practice to regularly come
down here. / think it is an imposi-
tion to ask this court to do all this
additional work. You have not a
clerk in the Milwaukee courts who
would work evenings, Sundays, Christ
mas day and other holidays. Do you
know that there are twenty-five Mil
wadkee, divorce cases sheard in this
court to every Kenosha divorce case? %
The attorneys from Milwaukee had

SLIPPED OFF PIPE
Claim Alleges City Was NegIi-

Protecting Pipe.

A claim for $500 against the city
of Kenosha in connection with the
drowning of thirteen-year- Joseph
Burr on August IS, 1925, has been filed
with the city clerk by Philip and
Genevieve Burr, parents of the lad
alleging that the city was negligent in

Cured. The claim will be referred tc
the city council at its regular meet.
ing on next Monday evening.
The claim, drawn by Attorney Frank
S. Symmonds, acting for the parents
recalls the accident. The lad was
walking along the large intake pipe
extending from the foot of South
street to the breakwater when he
slipped and fell. He struck his head
on the pipe, rendering him unconscious
and unable to save himself when
he fell into the water at the south
side of the pipe.
Holds City Liable.
The claim emphasizes the fact that
the pipe lies at the extreme south end
of the tract known as the Free NUM-
cipal Parking Grounds.
In stating the basis for claim, it al
leges:
There is no fence, obstruction OF
barrier to prevent children or others
from the danger occasioned by the
said situation, neither is there any
sign of warning of the danger into
which this boy was invited by reason
of the aforesaid facts, and, by reason
as aforestated, negligence is charged
against the city of Kenosha, by rea-
son whereof the said Joseph Burr lost
his life"
Philip Burr, the father of the lad
has been appointed special admins
traitor of the boys estate.
Damage Suit Follows.
The claim raises a point at law
which has never been brought up be-
fore in Kenosha county courts. If
the council refuses the claim or does
not make settlement, it is understood
that suit for damages will be insti-
tuted, the claim being the forerunner
of such legal action.
For the city, it is claimed, that a
municipality cannot be held respon-
sible for accidents which happen to
persons who are trespassing on city
property. Others allege that sign
might have attracted people to the use
of the intake pipe even though It for
babe It.
