FLAPPER PREFERS
OLD MEN JURORS
Mother-Killer Shys at Women as She
Realizes the Enormity of Her Crime
and Seriousness of Position.

San Francisco.-Doroth Ellingson,
16-year-old stenographer, entered
court here today with renewed de-
termination to curb the youthful i'm
petuousity which has been responsible
for fainting spells during the first
two days of her trial for the killing
of her mother, Mrs. Anna Ellingson.
The girl confessed that she shot and
killed her mother during an early
morning quarrel when the parent at
tempted to divert her daughter away
from the path Of hayward companions.
Observers say the trial is bringing
to Miss Ellingson a full realization
of the enormority of the offense to
which she has confessed. She listens
to other fathers and mothers, pros
pective jurors, shudder when they dis
qualify themselves and say they could
not sit in judgment fairly on girl
who killed her MOTHER

Cupid Tagging
Far Behind In
KenOshG County

Cupid is fighting a losing battle IN
Kenosha county.
Records of Kenosha courts and OIL
the county clerks Office revealed this
morning that since the first of Janu-
airy there have been more divorces IN
Kenosha than there have been we'd
dings.
At the county clerks Office the rec
ords show that there have been exact
ly 40 applications for marriage IL
censes during the present year. In
that same period payment has been
made to the divorce counsel OF the
county for SO divorces actually grant
ed. There are still pending in the
courts at least ten divorce actions,
showing that there have been more
divorces than there have been marri-
ages.
The fact that some Milwaukee cou-
pies have come to Kenosha county to
secure divorces will account somewhat
for the difference but it was stated by
officials that even with taking this in
consideration there has been an alarm
ing increase in the applications for
divorce.
Those who were discussing the stu
alton this morning held out hope that
Cupid might overcome the handicap
when spring brings his annual har-
vest.

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED
In TRAIN ACCIDENT
Details of Accident are Unavailable
as Report is Brought Here of Death
at Balm Railroad Station.

A report from the train dispatcher
at the Balm station of the Chicago
and North Western railroad west of
Kenosha to the local office of the
railroad company shortly after two
O'clock this afternoon told of an &C
cident in which one man was killed at
the station. The details of the acct
dent were not available nor was the
identity of the man yet established.
The report asked that Coroner Joseph
Friend be sent to the railroad station
at once to order a disposition of the
remains and to investigate the cir
cumstances of the accident.
1t was impossible to obtain further
information concerning the accident
or the identity of the man, it was de-
clared by the local train agent, be-
cause the station tower at Balm was
in repair and communication with it
was not yet possible.
Coroner Friend left at once for the
scene and it is expected that the body
will be brought to Kenosha late this
afternoon on the first train passing
through the station for Kenosha.

Helps Cop Make
One Man Raid

Policeman Tony Borden, who for
years has held the distinction Of be-
ing No. / on the police department
added new significance to his num-
Der early this afternoon when he
made it stand for zone man raider
as well as being the man of longest
term of service in the department.
How he became one man raider is
an interesting story. He was walking
his beat when man came to him and
filed complaint against Dominica
Knopkus, sos Broad street.
''My wife goes to that house" the
man said. "She stays little while
and then comes home drunk"
Officer Borden decided there was
reason for investigation. He went i'm
mediately to the Knopkus home; hard
Iy had he stepped in the door when
he saw a jug of moonshine in plain
view on the table.
"Please don't arrest me-" said Knop-
kus as he offered the policeman three
dollars.
Officer Borden took the money, the
moonshine and the man, all to the po-
lice department. Knopkus was held on
a. charge of having liquor in his pos
session.
The fact that the liquor was out in
plain view and that Officer Borden was
called to the place to answer com
plant made by another makes no
search warrant necessary according to
the police.

HUMOR IN SENATE
OVER WIFE BEATING
Adequate Punishment of Arch Brutal
ity Starts Flood of Witticism
to Make Proposal LudicrOus.

Madison.-The state Senate engaged
in war and peace session. both
marital and martial, last night when
several matters pertaining to conflict
and d u use al for Kdnishing cctvict-
ed wife eaters came up for considera-
tion.
The HUNT resolution memorializing
congress to reduce the standing army
of the United States to the strength
of the national guard and to likewise
keep down the size of the navy, was
rejected without a record vote.
A resolution offered several weeks
ago by Assemblyman Frank J. Weber
declining the gift by the government
of world war trophies was concurred
in without record vote.
The remaining war resolution, that
of Mrs Helen Brooks to outlaw war
through code of international law
of peace on equality and justice be-
tween nations, "amplified expanded
and brought down to date" was reject
ed by the Senate % to z.
Senator John E. eastman, Denmark,
made the only speech on the Brooks
resolution and this was against the
adoption of the measure.
A bill by Senator Ben Gentleman, in
troduced through the committee on
judiciary to punish convicted wife
beaters by setting up the whipping
post, was first treated to a bit of
comedy by the attaching of ludicrous
amendments and then taken to kill
ing Is to 8. Senator Harry Sauthoff,
NR- o+% o1 40
bill, declared that to adopt the whip
ping post as means of Furnishing
Mr.. Accused of beating their wives
was to turn back the pages of history
hundred years and open the way for
the stocks, the pillory and other in
struments of barbarous torture.
Before the senate got down to seri-
Gus consideration of the bill no less
than fifteen amendments found their
way to the desk of the chief clerk.
All of them were attempts to make the
bill ludicrous.
The Senate killed the Dagget bill
to abolish the state board of public
affairs by the substitution of new
,sioner who would have general super
vision over budget recommendations
and reducing excess and overlapping
jobs in state government.
The senate committee on state and
local government late yesterday rec
commended for adoption its own reso-
luton memorializing congress to
change the Yolstead act to permit the
manufacture and sale of 2.75 per cent
alcoholic content beer.

CHEST FUND
SENDS in $500
Local Relief Fund Swells
AS Campaign Gets
Under Way.
GET MANY BIG OFFERS

The biggest developments IN today $
stage of Kenosha's relief fund drive
for the tornado sufferers today took
on added significance and made the
efforts of the American Legion, under
whose auspices the drives in the city
are being held, more encouraging than
at any other time since the campaign
for funds was started Most lmpor-
tant of these were:
The Community Chest organization
this afternoon sent to the American
Red Cross relief headquarters at St.
Louis check for $500 to be used in
continuing the rehabilitating of the
homeless victims of the storm in the
stricken areas now well under way.
The request for the contribution came
late last evening from the Red Cross
headquarters and today the proper
authorization was made in special
session of the board of directors of
the Community Chest association and
~. A. Foster, Jr., secretary, sent the
check out at once. This check repre-
sents Kenosha officially in the relief
work.
American Express Makes Offer.
Another development was welcomed
with considerable enthusiasm in Ke-
nosha when the local Office of the
American Express. company on North
West Main street announced that it
has been authorized to accept from
any persons any articles or bundles of
clothing or relief material marked for
shipment to the Red Cross at Carbon
dale, H., to public officials in any of
the cities where relief work is being
carried on. Many such bundles have
already been taken at the office of the
company and sent ahead and when the
announcement becomes more wide
spread it is expected that many more
persons will take advantage of it. The
only requirement is that the bundle be
we'll wrapped and tied and that it be
brought to the express company's Of
fee.
Under authorization from the board
of education the schools of the city
will act as centers for the collection
of any relief funds contributed by
themselves or their parents. While no
campain will be carried on with this
end in view the children will be en-
couraged to give their little bit to-
ward the larger fund which the
schools are expected to raise. This
money will be turned over to the
teachers in each room and then to the
principal who will turn the money in
to Kenosha's central relief committee
| sponsored by the American Legion.
Many Sending In Funds.
The Kenosha Evening News Relief
fund today received a check from Ed
ward j. Sullivan for So which is &C
knowledged together with contribu-
tions from the following persons,
whose checks have been turned over
to the American Legion: H. gilbert

West Frankfort, Ill.-The work OF
the American Red Cross in rehablilta-
ton in the entire tornado disaster
area in five states will begin at once,
according to Henry M. Baker, nation
al director of disaster relief here. 1t
will include replacing and refurnish-
ing homes, clothing and all necessI-
ties of victims, but will not attempt
to. replace deficits. in. investment
losses, which he called business re-
Mobilization.
Director Baker will be in personal
charge of the entire five state dis
trict.
The need of the victim and not his
loss will guide attempts to reestab-
iish MIN on as nearly pre-disaster
basis as funds will permit, said Baker,
Every penny contributed to the Red
Cross fund for tornado relief, Baker
said, will be used in the storm area.
Vocational training and trust fund
assistance in cases where a mother
or children were left without support
are provided for in the rehabilitation
plan.
Emergency Conditions for Ten Days.
The emergency period probably will
continue for ten days, Baker said. He
declared that in all the Red Cross
disaster work he had never witnessed
such complete devastation and suf-
fering nor a disaster that embraced
such wide range of territory.
