STILL AB0LISHING
UTILITY COMMISSION

Madison, Wis. - The proposal to
abolish the state railroad commission
still is pending in the Legislature as
a result of the introduction by Assem-
blyman Hilker, Racine, of a substitute
to his original bill.
The amendment was offered yester-
day when the measure abolishing the
commission was taken up on the as
sembly floor under an unfavorable
committee report. The question was
re-referred to the committee on muni-
cipalities. The amendment corrects
parts of the bill which failed to pro-
vide for certain utilities regulation in
its original form, the author said.
The Warden bill to make members
of the railroad commission elective
officials, instead of appointive, was de-
feated, Al to IA, when it was definite

tended to stake the commission out of
politics and make it representative of
the wishes of the people" Assembly
man f. B. MINER replied that all the
commissioners thus far have been able
men and that Governor Blaine and his
predecessors have been careful" in
their selections. He declared that if
the commissioner were elected, good

Man Arrested Believed to Be
Same Person Who Has
Frightened Women.

For some time the police department
has been on the trail of window
pepper and moron who has frightened
women and children by indecent ex-
posure and by appearing suddenly to
startle some one at a window. Often
police call is sent in, but the man
has taken to cover by the time the
police arrive. The officers have been
so anxious to get this fellow that
whenever they get the window pepper"
report they go up the street as if they
were responding to an ambulance call.
Monday evening a window pepper
was caught, and the police believe him
to be the man who has been menacing
the different neighborhoods as his
appearance answers the description
given of him.

COUNTY AGENT
FOR THE DEFENSE
Judd Williams Gives Testi-
money in Case of Halicke
VS.. Better i'm Court.
FIND NO HARD PAN

The case of Halicke rs Better con-
tinued in circuit court this morning
for the seventh day of trial. Better
is charged in the complaint in civil
action with fraud in the sale of a
Wayne county, southern Illinois, farm
to the plaintiff.
Judd Williams, county agriculture
agent for Kenosha county, was called
as a witness for the defense. He tes-
titled that he visited the farm in
Wayne county Sunday, and that he
found no hard-pan on the soil. The
plaintiffs in presenting their case had
maintained among other things that
there was hard-pan below the sur
face of the soil on the Better farm
which made the growing of certain
crops impossible and certain others
difficult. Williams said that the UNI
DERIVING layer on this land he found
looser than usually prevails on the
land in this county. He also brought
samples of the soil and tall stalks of
corn found on the field to indicate the
degree of growth to which the crops
attained.
Read Dispositions Today.
This morning the defense read into
the record a deposition made in Wayne
county by the county farm adviser,
G. T. Hufford, whose position CORE
spends with that of our county agent.
Hufford also gave the opinion after
survey of the farm that there was no
hard-pan there.
John Tomlinson, local realtor was
called as witness for the defense on
Monday afternoon. He testified that
he heard f. E. Better tell Halicke III
1921 before the exchange Of property
was made that the corn taken as specl-
mems and exhibited in his office was
not corn grown on Betzer's farm but
was grown on river bottom land in
the vicinity
Attorney A. L. Drury for the plain
tiff asked the witness if he had not
talked with Mr.. King and Mr.. Conway
of Conway & King, attorneys for
Halicke in May, 1924, Mr.. Tomlinson
said that he had, and admitted that he
had said to Mr.. King that he had al
WAYS assumed that this corn was
grown on the Better farm. He said
that his memory had been refreshed
on the transaction some time in No
vember, 1924, when his son returned
after an absence of some six months
and reminded him of the statement
which he said Mr.. Better had made in
his presence anent the said corn.
Part of the case turns upon this al
legged corn misrepresentation; the
plaintiff holding that Better showed
them some unusual corn ears and told
them that it grew on the Better farm (;
the defense acknowledges that this
corn did not grow on the Better farm
but maintains that this was under

BOYS OF LOVE
COUPLE SUFFER
Paul Ratobielski Charged
With Non support of
Legitimate Children.
IT IS A TANGLE

Paul Ratobielski, 26 North Congress
street, was brought into court this
morning on the charge of non-support
of his children. The charge speci-
fically was mon support of his legiti-
mate" children. Judge Slater said that
he did not think the charge would
stand up as he himself had found that
the children were not legitimate
1t is peculiar case. Some two years
ago Paul Ratobielski told the police
that he and Katie Ratobielski were
not legally married although he had
been her husband for many years and
was the father of their fine boys to
whom he was devoted. Paul wanted
to marry Katie legally for he was
afraid a rival might step in. Katie
was arrested. She proceeded to hate
Paul for causing her arrest. She said
she did not want to marry him.
Woman Repudiates Marriage.
Finally, however, the couple were
married, with an interpreter present
to interpret the proceedings for Katie's
benefit. Just afterwards she became
very indignant, insisted that she had
not known that she was getting mar
ried to Paul and thought that she was
only giving the children their rightful
name in going through the ceremony.
She gave her attorney no peace until
fresh action was brought and the
marriage nullifed. She said that in
the beginning when she and Paul
undertook a partnership he was a
Bolshevik and did not believe in a
marriage by church or law. IF he
wanted to marry me why didn't he do
it then?" she said.
Under the situation, however, the
children are in a peculiar position, and
an effort is being made to have Paul
Ratobielski support them. He was re-
leased this morning under bail of 5000
under his own recognizance.

Tony CarayeIli is Alleged
to Have Been Pander-

ON TWO CHARGES

Tony Caravelli, 1015 Pearl street,
who is alleged to have knowingly rent
ed his premises for purposes OF as
signation to Dominick Costarello, was
arrested early this morning by De-
tectives Breidt and Chase from police
Headquarters. Whatever Caravelli had
done in the past, the police on their
arrival found, it is said, active pres
ent signs of violation, for within the
premises they found jugs of moon
shine and wine.
They went to the place to arrest
Caravelli on warrant, charging him
with being the keeper of a house of
i'll fame. This morning when he was
brought into court, there were two
charges, this one, and also the charge
of unlawful possession of moonshine
whiskey.
Pleads Not Guilty.
The man is charged with maintain
ing the premises at which Costarello
is alleged to have kept the girl, Lu-
ellie Wineski, for immoral purposes
collecting the wages of her shame
When brought into court today the
charges were read to him but he was
unable to speak English and it was
necessary to find an interpreter who
could speak Italian.
The moonshine, he said, he had

CHIEF DIRECTS
THE SPEED COPS
Seven Motorcycle Officers
of Mosquito Squad"
Get Ready.
RULE BE COURTEOUS"

There are more automobiles than
ever this year, but the motorists will
find that there are more speed cops
also. Additional officers have just
been put on the Mosquito feet" of
the police department, and there have
been more county motorcycle cops APP
pointed by the county board.
Tomorrow, April 1, all the motor
cycle cops of both the city and county
will turn out, and it, will be "April
FOOLS day" for more than one motor
ist if he insists on violating the
rules of the road.
Seven on Police Squad.
The "Mosquito fleet" of the city
police will consist of seven motorcycle
officers. These are: George 0'Hare,
Paul Rohde, Robert Mitchell, Lawrence
Melbusch, Arthur Larsen and Delos
REYNOLDS. All of the officers are
equipped with high-powered motor
cycles for the new season.
Chief Logan has directed the Of
ficers to remember few elementary
rules, among which he has placed last
but not least, that of being courte-
GUS" Sometimes the officer is in a
position to "bawl out" a driver who
has unwittingly broken some rule, and
who never did so Intentionally and will
never perhaps do it again. As rule
the officer makes distinction between
this kind of citizen and the speeder
who is inclined to be hard-boiled, and

never necessary. If an arrest is neces-
sary the officer has only to go ahead,
and be as civil as possible under the
circumstances.
The chief of police takes rap at
the volunteer fremen," who speed
their vehicles on the heels of the fire
trucks. ARREST them ALL" he suggests
His rules for the motorcycle officers
are given as follows:
1. Make arrests for any and every
violation of the law, not alone violation
of the rules of the road, or speeders
2. Familiarize yourself with laws
and ordinances concerning traffic.
8. When you chase speeders, do not
disregard traffic. Be careful of your
own safety also.
a. In the case of traffic congestion
where there is tie-up for some rea-
son or other, because of an accident OF
fire perhaps, stop and take care OF 1t
at once, and do the thing necessary.
5. Arrest all volunteer firemen, who
insist upon following the fire apparatus
and exceed the speed limit in doing so
Arrest all who refuse to stop for police
or fire department gongs and sirens.
6. Do not act as the judge in de-
Gliding who is right and who is wrong
in the case of an accident; leave the
Judging to the court.
Z. Do not have your dinner between
300 and 100 or between $3.50 and
80. This is the time of day you
are needed most.
3. Enforce the 12-miles-per-houI
rule past the school houses, especially
during recess and when the children
are coming to or leaving school.
g. Discourage Children from play
ing in the street, roller skating, play
inc baseball and the like.
10. Above all, be courteous. Be q
gentleman. When an arrest Is neces-
sary do not argue or use abusive
language.
