NUMEROUS SIJBPOENAS
SERVED BY MITCHELL
Opposing Counsel Agree Not to Call
Three Cabinet Men as Trial
Witnesses.

Washington, D. Ca Whole
sale subpoenas for defense witnesses
were issued today in the Mitchell
court martial proceedings, but those
who ranked highest on the list as sub
mitted by counsel for the accused air
officer were not summoned
Under compromise worked out by
opposing counsel, no step was taken
to bring into court either Secretary
Jardine of the agricultural depart
ment, or Everett Sanders, secretary to
President Coolidge.
1t was agreed that some of those
now in far distant cities should be
permitted to give their testimony by
deposition.
The seventy who were asked to APP
pear in, court after sessions are re-
summed next Monday include high
officers of both the navy and army
and many, civilians. By their testi-
mony Colonel Mitchell hopes to JUS
tify his public accusation that the air
services of the government have been
crippled by criminal negligence. It
was this accusation which led to his
trial on a charge of breaking over the
bounds of military discipline.
Along with the subpoenas, the
courts Judge advocate sent out re-
quests for the many documents cited
by Colonel Mitchell as essential to the
preparation of his defense. These in
clude official files of the war, navy and
agriculture departments as well as
the White House and it is doubtful
whether all of them will be delivered
to the court.
Colonel Mitchell and his counsel
agreed to waive the request for SUBJ
poems for the three cabinet officers
on condition that the documents in
their possession be presented by ac-
credited representatives of the de-
partmentaI heads. The same copces-
sion. was made in the case of Mr..

Prompted by recent developments
in connection with which Leo Chafee
is being held in the county jail here
on a. statutory charge based on. in
formation given to Kenosha police by
Kenosha woman, Racine has taken
another attitude toward the man.
Steps were taken in Racine on Tues
day to begin the raising of fund
which has as it goal $1,000 sought to
release Chafee from custody.
Chafee was arraigned on the sta
tutory charge before Judge John Stat
err in municipal court and on his plea
OF not guilty he was ordered to appear
in court again on Monday morning,
November g, and in the meantime he
was ordered to give bonds of $500
for his release. He could not so he
was not released.
Led by Chafee's attorney, Leonard
Baumblatt, the work of clearing Cha
fee is going on anew. Every effort
will be made to furnish and to bolster
a strong alibi for Chafee'a where
abouts on the night of May 20 during
which the Kenosha woman accuses
Chafee of having made IN attempt to
assault her after ordering her escort
to cheat it" at the point of gun. If
the fund being sought in Racine is
raised in time Chafee will be taken
from jail and hidden away from the
sight and reach of questioners.
It is. already claimed hat Chafee
can present a perfect abb for the
night of May 20. One report from
Racine declares that the proof can
come from several persons. Part of
this alibi testimony was presented by
a woman who knows both Chafee and
his wife BY sight. Further testimony
which tends to strengthen the inno-
cence Of Chatee is furnished by a

AT RACINE HOSPITAL

Edward Roszko, seventeen-year- old
son of Mr.. and Mrs, Joseph Roszko,
701 Strong street, is at ST. Mary's hos

ceived when the Ford truck in which
he was riding was struck by south
bound Chicago, Milwaukee and St.

Ranney at 3:15 o'clock Tuesday after
noon.
Details of the accident are meager
and only bare account of it has been
received at the Office of Sheriff Frank
Willems. This report was made by
Deputy Sheriff Nick Otto, who was
called to the scene of the accident at
once.
According to the report of Deputy
Otto, Roszko was driving the truck
near the approach of the Ranney

a dangerous one in that it is difficult
to see clearly in the direction from

GET SHARE OF
GASOLINE TAX
Kenosha County's Share of
Gasoline Tax to be
About $4,000.
FALLS SHORT OF NEED
County Officials Disappointed
as Sum Will Not Provide for
Program Mapped Out.

County Clerk Iva Russell received
from the Wisconsin State Tax Com
mission this morning communica-
tion setting forth th1t Kenosha
county's share of the gasoline tax,
collected thus far under the law, had
been tentatively set at $95,238. The
total amount collected in the state is
in the neighborhood Of S12,000,000 and
the allotment to the various counties
Ees been made in keeping with the
rro9isions of the law, which was
passed at the last session of the
state legislature.
The allotment is based upon two
factors: one, the number of vehicles
registered in the county, forty per
cent being allotted on this basis; the
other, on the ratio of the mileage
oi paved highways in the county to
that in the state, sixty per cent being
allotted on this basis.
The report does not show whether
or not the amount to be sent back to
Kenosha county is in excess or less
than the gasoline tax collected in this
county. Officials generally estimated
that much larger sum had been
paid in taxes on gasoline in this
county, but pointed out that some Of
this was probably due from a large
tourist trade rried on in this city
and county.
How Sum Is Divided.
The sum allotted to Kenosha county,
is to be divided as follows:
For county trunk highway system,
$1S,122; for state trunk highway sys-
TEN, as federal aid for construction
on state trunk highway No. so west
to county line, S52,4S6; maintenance Of
state trunk highway system, $4,000.
The communication was signed by
]. T. Donaghey, state highway en-
gineer Kenosha county will also re-
ceive its share of the sums received
for automobile license fees. the
estimates for which have not yet
been made public.
The officials of the county are
somewhat disappointed at the amount
which this county is to receive as its
share Of the gas line tax. 1t was
pointed out that the S52,486 allotted
for federal aid on the construction OF
State Trunk Highway No, so west to
the county line would only pay fol-
the bridge which must be erected over
the Fox River, leaving the remainder
of the sum to be raised either by
county and town taxes or by a bone
issue, the latter to be repaid BY
future allotments from state funds.
Prior to the enactment of the
present law, the money for road worl
had been secured by state, county anC
town levies. This way is also oper
to provide whatever additional fund.
may be necessary to carry on the roac
program of the county.

Racine Rallies TO Aid
OF Chafee for Freedom
Fund Being Raised Among Racine Saoonkeepers and
Friends of Chafee to Secure Bonds So That
He Can Be Released

garage man who swears that Chafee
was unable to drive car at the time
the assault is alleged to have taken
place and therefore could not have
been the man the Kenosha woman
says drove away after he had failed
in his purpose of attacking her.
Attorney Leonard Baumblatt, coun-
sci for .Chafee, went to Kenosha yes
terday afternoon and last evening
conferred with number of persons
in his office at Racine. Among the
persons who came there to talk over
the case was woman who supplied
the strongest kind of alibi evidence
in his belief.
This woman says that on May Fl,
of this year, there was born in Ra-
cine home, the babe whose arrival is
to figure SO prominently in the case.
1t was on the evening of the day be-
fore the birth of the child, she said,
that she was seated on the porch Of
the home when Chafee and his wife
walked by, the hour being shortly
after 8 o'clock
The day aILer the Dlrtn u Inc
child, she said, Chafee and his wife
walked past again. She is positive
as to the date of both instances, the
one occurring shortly before the
hour at which the alleged criminal
assault on the Kenosha girl Is alleged
to have taken place That Chaffee
could not have been at the point in
Kenosha county where the assault
took place, is the contention Of his
attorney.
Meanwhile Kenosha police have
taken photographs of the scene at
which place the assault is alleged to
have occurred, and these pictures are
being held for introduction as ex-
hibits when the preliminary hearing
OF the charge comes.

"Did you ever see sweet little face
like this before?"
The questioner was Mrs. Anne Lati
mer of Appleton, mother of Madalynne
Latimer, who was murdered here three
weeks ago together with her lover and
bethrothed, James Sears, and the, one
to whom the question was put was
Leo Chafee of Racine, hel din lieu of
bonds in the county jail on the charge
of attempted criminal assault upon
another young woman, and who also
is the suspect held by the police in
the Latimer-Sear case.
Mrs. Latimer as she spoke pointed
to her daughter, Evelyn, twin sister
of Madalynne, who wore bright coat
similar to the one worn by the muir

Amendments to the state constitu-

This, new proof. of the political
