AUTO CRASH Is
BASIS OF SUIT
A. Paddock & Sons Sued
for $500 as Result of
Auto Accident.
WOMAN WAS INJURED

An automobile accident is the basis
for two damage suits filed in the CIR
cult court of Kenosha county this
morning by Isar and Mary Petrie OF
Waukegan, against Alva Paddock, Ray
Paddock and third Paddock, named
as "John Doe" Paddock, doing bust
ness under the firm name of A. Pad
dock and Sons. The two suits asks
for SO 500 damages, alleged to be due
because of injuries received In an au-
tomobile accident on the Geneva road
near the Paddock farm in the town OF
Salem en- the evening of July 6, 1874.
The complaint filed with the twP
suits sets forth that on the evening
in question, A. Paddock was driving
an auto truck westward on the Geneva
road and in attempting to pass several
cars going in the same direction, turn
ed out into the highway and collided
with the automobile driven by Isar
Petrie, with whom was riding, his
wife, Mrs. Mary Petrie.
In the collision the woman received
serious injuries. The complaint in the
suit which she has brought, alleges
that she has been and still is under
the care of a physician as a result
of these injuries. She asks for $4,000
damages. The husband is suing for
$1,000.
1t is understood that the defense
maintains that all blame for the ac-
cident does not lie with it. Several
witnesses of the accident say that Mr..
Paddock was in string Of cars and
that the one directly in front of him
stopped so quickly that he was forced
to veer to the left in order to avoid
hitting it. This forced him into the
path of the Petrie car.

JACOB BENTZ
Is BOUND OVER
Judge Slater Denies Motion
of Defense After PreliIn-
mary Hearing.
NO PRIOR CONVICTION
Bentz Raided Twice Before,
but Another Pleaded Guilty
Once; Acquitted Once.

Jacob Bentz, though he has been
raided three times, has never so far
been convicted of possession of moon
shine still, or moonshine liquor. This
is fact and the mistake of publish
ing recently that Bentz had been con-
victed, is ours.
There was a vonviction following
the first arrest on the Bentz farm, but
it was not Bentz who pleaded guilty.
The place was raided by Sheriff Pabst
and his deputies and moon still,
coolies and coolies of mash and coolies
of moonshine were found in the old
dairy on the farm. There was so
much of it that the sheriff had to en-
ploy a van to get the stuff in from
the farm in Pleasant Prairie.
Another Pleaded Guilty.
Jacob Bentz pleaded not guilty then
and the case hung fire for time, and
then finally some man who said he
was a tenant renting the dairy of
the Bentzes, came in and pleaded
guilty and was fnedP
A second time the place was raided
by Sheriff Pabst. This time moon
shine was found in the old dairy.
Bentz was charged with unlawful pos
session Of intoxicating liquor and went
to trial before a jury in the circuit
branch of the municipal court. The
deputy sheriffs testified that the moon
found the second time was not there
the first time. Bentz claimed that
he had sublet the dairy for his son
who was renting it of him. This
tenant was never produced, but Bentz
did produce as evidence his lease
to his son.
The jury in this second case brought
in a verdict of not guilty.

Attorney Veudreuil cross-examining
the witness, asked if moonshine liquor
could be made from that, and the
constable replied that it needed in
addition the coils and spout. He ad-
mitted that although the Bentz farm
was searched these were not found.

Pipe Smokers Owe
Debt to Wellman

Although present day pipe smokers
do not realize it, they owe an ever
lasting debt of gratitude to an old
time tobacco man-John Wellman by
name-for giving them one of the
sweetest, coolest tobaccos that ever
packed a pipe, according to the fol-
lowing article sent the News.
The story of Wellman as told to the
public for the first time in a series
of unique advertisements now being
published in the News and other pa
pers by the Liggett & Myers Tobacco
company, to acquaint smokers with
their ever popular Granger Rough
Cut. The story Of Granger sent to
this Office is this:
1t seems that several generations
ago fabout 1870, to be exact) John
Wellman led the field with "a secret
method of preparing pipe tobacco-to
the envy and despair of all rivals.
They wondered for years how he did
it but never seemed able to solve
the riddle In spite of all their eff
forts, imitators never even approx
mated Wellman's perfection so close
" was the process guarded. Smokers,
however, never stopped to envy but
just smoked and liked and kept on
liking the tobacco.
John Wellman, of course, has long
since passed on-and his famous
secret would have passed on with him.
had it not been Liggett & Myers good
fortune to acquire exclusive rights to
his prize method and make possible
its being handed on to new genera
ton.
And so it is that through Granger
Rough Cut this old-time tobacco
secret has virtually been "rediscover-
ed"-revived by Liggett & Myers and
offered more widely to the public
after a three-year period of quiet
''try-out" among shrewder judges OF
tobacco in which quarter million
smokers in 80 states have rendered
their verdict of approval.

Regional Planning Report
Holds Out Hope of De-

MUST BE NEIGHBORS
Former Supervisor Luke Shows
Situation in Report Made
to County Board Today.

Chicago capitalists are ready and
anxious to invest money in the devel-
opment of Kenosha and Kenosha coun-
ty if this community shows some in
terest in the regional coming projects,
declared William Luke, representative
Of Kenosha county on the regional zon-
ing board, in his report to the county
board Of supervisors this morning

ties and counties in Illinois and Wis

towards the co-ordinating of present

Improvement of cities and counties and
localities in the planning zone.
Mr.. Luke, who was formerly super
visor from the town of Wheatland, has
represented Kenosha county at various
meetings of the board in Chicago and
in his report showed the members of
the county board that much progress
has been made in co-ordinating activi-
ties for regional planning in the en-
tire district.
Means Much to KenOsha.
1.-THE carrying out of this project
will mean much to Kenosha and Keno
sha county ultimately" declared Mr..
Luke. "We are not able to point at
the present to any great benefit chiefly
because of the fact that the organi-
zation is in the formative stage and
has been hampered by lack of funds
to carry on its projects. So far, how
ever, there has been established a gem

the units, whether they are located in
one state or the other, neighbors and
they are aiding each other in the de-
velopment of the project.
.The discussion has shown that
there is ready cash in Chicago which
would be poured into the entire lake
shore district and into Kenosha for
carrying out the development of this
district commercially and industrially.
il we offer some inducements to these
capitalists, if we get in touch with
them and get them interested in what
we have in store for them in Kenosha
county, they will invest here. 1t will
mean not only an increase in popula-
ton, which is most welcome, but also
an increase in capital and with the

Reflect Luke Representative.
The regional planning board has al
ready taken steps towards solving the
transportation problems along the lake
shore, industrial and commercial prob
lens affecting all of the cities, and
problems arising out of the handling
of community health and recreation
projects.
The county board accepted the re-
port of Mr.. Luke and showed its en-
dorsement of his work by re-electing
him to represent Kenosha county at
the meetings of the regional planning
board. An appropriation of S25 was
also made to pay Kenosha county's
