Ordered to Transport
Pupils to Schools

Madison, Wis. A consolidated
school district Of the towns Of Sum-
nit and Ottowa and the village of
Dousman, formed in June, 1928, still
is in existence and must therefore
furnish transportation to the pupils
as required by law, according to an
opinion given today to John Callahan,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, by Herman J.. Ekern, attorney
general.
The boards of supervisors Of the
town Of Summit and Attows and the
board Ct trustees of the village of
Dousn1an met in June, 1928, to consid-
err the matter of consolidating joint
school district No. 3 Of the two towns
and Joint school district No. II. of
the towns and village. The various
boards failed to agree or the CONSOLE
dation and the question was appealed
to the committee on common schools,
which ordered the districts consoli-
dated, according 70 Mr. Callahan.
The opinion of the department,
Franklin T. Bump, assistant attorney
general, wrote, was that the law pass
ed in 1929 providing that school dis
tricts consolidated without vote of
the electors in the districts affected
should be dissolved, was unconstitu-
tional

Dry Leaders Fight
Gentleman Bill
Bill Restricting Search and Seizure
Would Make State Dry Law In
operative Is Claim.

I Madison, Wis. The Gentleman bill
restricting search and seizure would
make the state prohibition law prac-
tically imperative, dry leaders in the
legislature declared today.
The bill, which was introduced by
State Senator Ben Gettleman, Milwau-
kee, on the second day Of the session,
is similar to the Sachtjen measure OF
two years ago.
1t would require all police officials
and dry agents to have search war
rants, backed by afidavits of sale of
liquor, before they could enter any
building, excepting licensed soft
drink parlor.
Under the present law. search war
rants are required only for residences.
The bill would prevent the use OF
John Doe warrants.
Dry leaders will make every effort
to defeat the bill, which they declare
is just as dangerous to prohibition en-
forcement in Wisconsin as the Social
list bills providing for outright appeal
of the enforcement act.
Both houses are closely divided on
the prohibition question, and vets
and drys both claim majority

Cider Will Keep
Without Preservatives

Madison, Wis. Two large exhibits
of sweet cider from Door and Craw-
fordscounties at the recent show of the
Wisconsin State Historical society, in
the routunda of the statehouse here,
disproved the contention that chemical
preservatives are necessary to make
the product saleable, according to the
state dairy and food department.
The exhibits are ample proof that
the contention is not founded on fact,
the department declares.
During the fight in Wisconsin to eX-
clude injurious chemical preserYatives
from foods sold in the state, it was
strongly urged by those in favor of
the use of chemical personalities that
sweet cider could not be marketed
without such use, according to the de-
partment, which at that time refuted
the assertion.
A bulletin just issued by the de-
partment states: Spurious elders are
inferior to the genuine in every way
and their sale, unless controlled, be-
come fraudulent in character, which
frauds tend to prevent the production
and marketing of the genuine"

RAIDED AGAIN
Police Assisted by Consta-
BILE Scholey Raid Shanty
on Rowland Ave.
GET SOME MOONSHINE
Moonshine Is Found Under the
Cot On This Second
Visit Saturday.

Again the police made q strike at
the Lucky Strike" shanty at the
corner of Rowland avenue and the
Burlington road. Saturday night at
IL :40 p. m. they raided the place on a
warrant issued to Constable John
Scholey.
Lieut.. Rock, Detective McCluskey,
and Officer Tusler made the raid and
were accompanied by Constable Scho-
ley. They found a pint bottle con-
tanning moonshine underneath cot
in the place. Robert Rein, the pro-
prietor was arrested on the charge
of unlawful possession.
Pleads Not Guilty.
Rein came into the municipal court
this morning and entered plea of
not guilty to the charge before Judge
Slater. The case was set for hearing
February 8, bonds $500.
This is not the first time the Lucky
Strike" joint has been raided, nor the
first time has been raided, nor the
found on the premises.
Another Case Pending.
Rein was raided just two weeks ago,
and moonshine was found there. At
that time there was colored woman,
Mrs. Clement Henderson, in the rear
room of the place asleep. She was
charged with disorderly conduct, but
as it was found there was no evidence
against her, the case was dismissed
in the municipal court Friday and the
defendant discharged.
Rein pleaded not guilty that time
also, and as the case is not settled
yet, it was not possible to charge him
with prior conviction when he was
brought into court this morning.

Thomas Link, "a, in Hospit-
al After Unusual Acct
dent Saturday.
FELL OFF OF TRACTOR
Lands On Pavement Head First
When Tractor Strikes Tow
ing Car Near Somers.

Thomas Link, q, has a broken back
and other serious injuries sustained
in an accident near the town Of Som
sTS late Saturday afternoon, and to-
day he is thanking his lucky stars
thst he Is able to tell of it. The &C
cident was a most unusual one and,
according 60 physicians who attended
The injured man after he was brought
to Kenosha hospital, the fact that his
life was spared is due only to some
miraculous intervention Of the fatcsi
or some other kind of providence.
Link was working with Clarence
Iverson, his employer, on the latter
farm southwest Of Somers on Satur-
day afternoon when the tractor upon
which he was working baked and re
fused to work. All of the mechanical
ability Of the two men failed to get
the machine to start and it was de-
cided to tow the tractor into Somers
to have experts examine the source OF
trouble. Iverson got his own car and
began to tow the tractor into the town
with Link sitting on the tractor seat.
Accident on Highway.
On the road southwest of Somers
the two were running along very
slowly when they approached a short
incline in the road. The tractor pick
ed up a bit of speed-enough to push
it along faster than the car ahead and
there was collision. In the force Of
the impact Link was thrown into tae
air and landed on the side Of the road
on his head and shoulders. As the
rest of his body struck the ground
"he doubled up like "a jackknife," ac-
cording to Iverson, who was out OF the
car in a minute to give aid to Link.
DR.. P. P. NJ. Jorgensen, of Kenosha,
happened to be in the vicinity at the
time of the accident and he was cali
ed to the Iverson home to give med
ical aid to Link who was now resum-
ing consciousness. The physician re-
allied that the accident was indeed q
serious one and ordered the injured
man sent to the Kenosha hospital in
an ambulance.
At the hospital DR.. Jorgensen dis
covered that one Of the vertebrae was
fractured and Links back broken, with
minor internal injuries resulting
CnereIfom.
Laid Up for Two Months.
AS result of the accident Link
will be an invalid for at least two
months and will be unable to work
for a long time thereafter, according
to DR.. Jorgensen. The fact that Link
was able to live through such a sesi-
Gus accident is given as more hope
for his recovery. In nine cases Of
every ten in which a PERSONS back is
broken death ensues, il is pointed out
Link has been an employe Of Iver-
son for several years and was one CT
the best and most trusted OF his farm
hands. He had always been known to
be extremely careful in his labors on
the farm and was an important cog IN
the work. He is unmarried and lit
tie seems to be known of his parents
or any other relatives.

STATE FILES ANSWER
In CAB CURTAIN LAW
State Contends That Law Is COnsti-
tutionaI and VIII Fight for
It's Validity.

Madison.-Answer of the state OF
Wisconsin and the railroad commits
sion to the suit filed by four railroads
testing the cab curtain law has been :
filed in Dane county circuit court, the
attorney generals department an
nounced today.
The states answer contends that
the law is constitutional and supports .
the order of the commission requiring
the railroads to install curtains on
engine cabs. The case is regarded as
the first step toward bringing the
question before the supreme court.
The law enacted by the 1928 legis-
lature required the railroads to equip
their locomotives with suitable cur
tains. The railroad commission issued
an order specifying the type of cur <
tains and requiring that carriers TO
proceed with the installation on cabs
and engine tanks. Four railroads, the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul.
Chicago and Northwestern, Chicago
and Sault St. Marie, and the Chicago
st. Paul. Minneapolis and Omaha, con-
tested the order. Judge Il. Ray
Stevens of the Dane county circuit
court ruled that the commission ex-
ceded its jurisdiction in demanding
the installation of curtains on engine
tanks.
The commission then issued an
amended order eliminating that part
of the original order which the court
found illegal The new suit, filed by
the same four roads, again attacked 4,
the law on the ground that it violates .
the transportation act OF 1920. In ,
order that the case be carried to the
supreme court, it was necessary Tor a 1,
new suit to be filed on the basis OF 4
the commissions amended order, ac-
cording to the attorney generals de-
partment. :
All other railroads in Wisconsin :
have complied with the commissions
order, it was announced.
