HUBER In PLEA
FOR SHORT SESSION
President of State Senate Urges Leg
islators Not to 'Play Politics"
This Year.

Madison, Wis. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Henry A. Huber today enlisted
in the ranks of the legislators advo-
eating a short session of the Wiscon-
sin legislature this year.
The hope for a brief session can be
made reality if members stay on
the job, the lieutenant governor de-
clared in a formal address as he call
ed the state senate to order at IL
o'clock.
"Of course, short session cannot
be brought about by passing resolu-
tions, playing politics, nor by mem
bers absenting themselves from the
senate for week or ten days at a
time, thereby neglecting their work, y
Lieutenant Governor Huber said.
The lieutenant governors address
follows:
"The laws of our state impose upon
the lieutenant governor the duty of
presiding over the senate. In the dis
charge of this duty, my best endeav-
ors shall be used to preside over your
deliberations fairly and impartially,
and in accordance with the rules of
the senate. l am not unmindful of
the fact that / shall need your CO.
operation. I shall rely on your can
dor and wisdom to excuse and supply
my imperfections.
"You have relinquished your pur-
suits to enter upon service for the
people of this commonwealth, full of
responsibility and anxiety. The i'm
portance of measures which will offer
themselves for your consideration is
exceedingly great. hope that pru-
dence and moderation will guide you
in your deliberations, and that firm
ness, courage, resolution, and zeal
will inmate you in your work. Let
decisive energy support your opinions
and show respectful tenderness to-
ward your adversaries.
~ can think of no good reason why
this should be prolonged session,
and indulge in the hope that it be
brief Of course, a short session can
not be brought about by passing res
olutions, playing politics, nor by mem
bers absenting themselves from the
senate for a week or ten days at a
time, thereby neglecting their work.
From observation and years of expert
ence in the legislature, believe a
short session can only be made re-
atty by staying on the job-by hard
work. Senator's, / shall cooperate
with you to expedite the work of the
senate"

MILK PRICE Is
LITTLE LOWER
Milk Survey Report Shows
Price Lower in 1924
Than In 1923.
WAS $500 IN KENOSHA

Milk prices to producers in the east
north and central group of states
which includes Wisconsin showed {
trifie higher for December as compsr.
ed with the preceding month and con.
siderably lower than the same month
last year, according to report of the
Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Founda-
ton.
While the range of prices paid pro.
ducers is wide, depending somewhat
on shipping distances, the average
price for standard grade milk, 3.5 pei
cent butterfat, for December in this
territory was $2.44 per hundred pounds
as compared with $2.71 for December
year ago.
Prices paid by dealers for this quail.
ity raw milk delivered at the freight
stations in Kenosha are reported by
the government to be $500 per hun
dredweight. This figure may be com.
pared with the average above quoted
as being paid to producers through
out the territory, not forgetting to
make allowances for freight and
handling charges between the country
shipping station and the city terminal
at which the dealer received it.
The prevailing retail price of stand
ard grade milk delivered bottled to
the family trade here is IL cents pei
quart, the report states. Some typical
prices for equivalent milk in other
cities are as follows:
Birmingham, Ala, Tx to IS cents;
Chicago, ILL.,, ID cents; Peoria, ILL.,, II
cents; Indianapolis, Ind, IL cents; St
Louis, Mo-, 10 cents; Washington, d
Co., ID cents; New York City, IL
cents; Columbus, o., IL cents; Daven-
port, Ia, 10 cents.

GEORGE DASCH IS
ORCHESTRA HEAD
Director of Chicago Sym
phony Orchestra to Lead
KenOsha Musicians.
ORGANIZE THIS MONTH

George Dasch, director Of the Chica-
go Symphony orchestra and violinist
of recognized ability, will direct the
Kenosha Symphony orchestra, to be
organized Immediately under the aus
pices of the Civic Music association.
The move was voted upon Monday af-
ternoon at luncheon meeting of the
board Of directors held at the Elks'
club.
The name of George Dasch is in it.
self an inspiration to musical endeav-
or, because it brings with it the repu-
tation Of master. Mr.. Dasch's work
with the Symphony orchestra in Chi
cago is well known. Especially popu-
lar with Kenoshans are the annual
concerts of Little Symphony orches-
ira, part of the Chicago Symphony,
which have been given here regularly
under Mr.. Dasch's direction in connec-
ton with the music memory contests
Of the public schools. For several,
years past, Mr.. Dasch has conducted
these contests for children, with con-
certs in the evening for adult Ke-l
noshans.
Has Musical Record.
The list of Mr.. Dasch's achievements
in the music field is long and success
full. He has cut a figure not alone
in the middle west, but in the east,
where his talent was at once recogniz-
ed. He has appeared here several
times as both director and violinist
On one occasion he brought with him
string quartet from the symphony
orchestra of which he is master, and
furnished an afternoon of delightful
musical entertainment for the Wo-
mans club of Kenosha. His programs
are always brilliant, interesting both
to the artist and the novice.
1t is felt by the association, that to
bring such man to Kenosha to di-
rect an orchestra, is a step toward
nothing short of a music millennium.
Plans for the orchestra itself which
will be vehicle for Dasch's work,
were also laid at yesterdays meeting.
Mrs. w. H. Afford was chosen chair
man of the committee in charge, and
musicians of the city wishing to enter
the orchestra where they will receive
valuable orchestral instruction under
Dasch, may apply to her for admit
lance. Application blanks will be furn-
ished upon request. There is no fee
for membership in the orchestra.
Immediate Organization.
It is desired that applications for
membership in the orchestra be made
with all possible punctuality. Mr..
Dasch will come to Kenosha to begin
his work some time during the first
week in February, announcements Of
which will be made later, and the or
ganization should have gained consid-
cradle Roadway by that time.

W. H. Afford, president of the city
council, was present at the meeting
and spoke briefly, giving his opinion
of the movement for community music.
He said that Kenosha needed some
such musical organization very badly
and that there is deplorable lack of
effort along that line at the present
time. He pledged his cooperation and

tion should initiate

BAKER ADVISER
in DAMAGE SUIT
County Prosecutors Get
Judge to Sit as Adviser
at Racine.
MAY END CASE TODAY

Another day of hearing testimony
has elapsed in the circuit court hear
ing of the damage suit of Robert Nc
Coy against John Terhorst and Keno
sha county, and James f. Mccoy
against the same defendants now in
progress at Racine. District Attorney
Lewis Powell, Assistant District At
torney Morris Barnett, county prose
cutors, are representing Kenosha
county at the trial, and County Judge
r. V. Baker is sitting in with them as
adviser.
Several additional witnesses are to be
heard today when it is believed the
case for the plaintiff will be closed.
AT this time the state will enter a
motion for dismissal and if this is
granted Kenosha county will be alb
solved from all accountability in the
case. If this should be denied, the
state will present its witnesses and
the case will then go to the jury.
Hear Many Witnesses.
During yesterdays hearing several
witnesses testified with regard to the
condition of the highway at the time
OF the accident-Aug. 10, l922-when
Robert Mccoy was eight years old.
According to some of the testimony
given, ditch existed at the point
where the accident took place, it be-
ing foot or more in depth according
to the testimony, and situated at the
side of the travelled roadway. One
witness said that weeds, some of which
were four feet high, were growing
along the side of the highway.
1t is contended by counsel for the
plaintiff that stones might have been
concealed in the weeds so that per-
sons driving along the highway could
not detect them. 1t is charged that
when Terhorst drove his motor truck
past another truck, wheel of his
machine struck a stone at the left
side Of the road Earring his truck and
he then drove to the right side of the
roadway. The front wheel went into
the ditch just off the driveway, ac-
cording to the testimony, causing it
to tip over and injure the youth. One
witness stated that it appeared to him
as if the point in question at one time
had been culvert which had been
filled in.
