Kenosha will have as its guest over

nounced in special messages received

out the information that the Los An

make the flight which had been con-
templated today since new difficulties
we're discovered. The engines on the
ship are being overhauled entirely,
he said.
But in order to satisfy the tremend-
Gus interest that has been aroused in
Kenosha and other parts of the route
which the Los Angeles would have COW
cred had it made the original flight
from Lakehurst, N. j., to Minneapolis,
Steele declares that he has received
word from the navy department to get
the dirigible Shenandoah in readiness
to make this flight. The date for
this cruise is indefinite, he adds, but

FOR MONKEY TRIAL
Will Endeavor to Lose Scopes Case so
They Can Prolong the Talk
fest With Bryan.

New York City - - AS the
result of various conferences In New
York Clarence barrow, Chicago Grim
inal lawyer, and cambridge Colby,
former secretary of state, have been
chosen to assist in the defense of
John T. Scopes, Dayton, Tenn, high
school teacher, charged with violating
the Tennessee law prohibiting teach
ing of evolution in the schools.
barrow and Colby are expected to
lose the case in a spectacular fashion
at first, preparatory to the state and
United States supreme courts passing
on the constitutionality of the law.
Dudley Field Malone, who with Oar
row first volunteered his services, was
delegated to keep the home fires burn
ing in New York. With Samuel Ros-
ensohn, of the legal staff of the civil
liberties union Malone will engage in
research.
Malone was not chosen as one Of
the assistants to John R. Neal, for
mer dean of the University of Ten
nessee, it was suggested, because he
was brought up a Roman Catholic and
because he remarked after divorce.
Both of these circumstances, advisers
said, might prejudice him with Ten
nessee jury.
Charles Evan Hughes, also former
secretary of state, will be held in re-
serve in the event the case reaches
the United States supreme court. Mr..
Hughes had been suggested by those
who feared Darrow's defense of Leo
pold and Loeb, murderers of Bobby
Franks, might provide ammunition for
William j. Bryan, another former sec
rotary of state, who is to assist the
prosecution.
Just in For the Ride.
The choice of barrow and Colby
was unanimous after day of confer
ences between the principals of sub
committee of the civil liberties union,
which is financing theacase. They will
serve without pay only at the first
Scopes today was suffering from an
attack of nerves due to the unusual
amount of talking he had done and
the resultant publicity. Tonight he
will address dinner at the civic club
and then leave for home.
Officials of the civil liberties union
proclaimed their intention of making
the trial the greatest show on earth.
Dr. Neal said:
"The trial will be used as the occa-
sion for educating the public on the
freedom of teaching in the public
schools"
Spokesman of the union listed the
objects as follows:
ITO educate the public on evolution.
ITO show that science and religion
are not incompatible.
"To demonstrate the necessity of
leaving education unhampered by re-
stricted legislation"

Arrests John SOukup

FINED BY COURT
Man Who Couldn't Pay Ali

John Soukup did not have money
enough to pay his alimony, but he had
money enough this morning to meet
his fine in the municipal court on
the charge Of unlawful possession OIL
Intoxicating liquor, to-wit, whlsKey.
The arrest of Soukup was made by
Turnkey Ray Willems at the sherln, S
office. and thereby hangs tale.
Brings Eats to Prisoners.
sSoukup had served a time in Jail
for non-support of his child, as order
ed by the court following a divorce
action. On Monday the attorneys in
the case, Leo Vaudreiul and Divorce
Counsel A. B. Ames, took pity on
Soukup and arranged for his release.
They said that if he paid what he had
and what he could pay at the time, 1T
would be all right for the present. So
Monday Soukup paid twenty dollars
into the court for support money and
paid SIT attorneys fees.
And on Tuesday Soukup was back
in the county Jail after being arrested
by Turnkey Willems, not for non-suR-
port but on another charge.
For Soukup after his release from
Jail had such a soft heart for the
prisoners and particularly for one
prisoner, Robert Rein. He returned
to the Jail, free man, bringing

When opkgp came in ne deposited
his packages ,on the table in the
sheriff's office according to rule, for
the turnkey examines all bundles that
go in to prisoners. There was no
"contraband" in the packages, but Ray
Willems saw a suspicious bulge in
the coat of Soukup.
'Hands upl" cried thee turnkey,
you're under arrest!P
Soukup, surprised, put up his hands,
and the search was made. A pint
bottle of liquor was found on his per-
son.
IL suppose you we're going to take
this to Rein also?" cried the turnkey,
but Soukup refused to say what his
intentions were.
Soukup charged with unlawful pos
session was brought before Judge
Slater before six o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon. He pleaded guilty to the
charge and was given fine of $500
and costs.
This morning the clerk of the
'Irt reported that the fine had been

"Soukup," said the turnkey, "found
it easier to dig up the money for the
payment of liquor fine than he did

MANY ARE INJURED
Parents Can Help Reduce
Hazard On Streets by

Does your child play out in the
curbing? Everywhere throughout the
city of Kenosha, every day on every
street, children are seen playing. Some
are little tots ranging up to six years
of age; some older.
1t is to be presumed that each OF
these children has mother, and that
each of them has a father. Where is this
parent when the child is "scooting'

these children and all the parents Of
such children, and putting them UP
on a blackboard as warning, the way
it was done to US in school days when
we were on the dishonor list, motor
list said today.
The report Of the police for the
month of May shows that the cause OF
many of the accidents were children
playing in the street..
The report which has just been COM
piled by Police Sergeant Leo Buch-
mann, secretary of police, shows an
other interesting fact, namely that
among the serious accidents. most fol-
the month were not at intersections Of
streets but between intersections. This
shows that tn reo ere one or more
causes at play. gfaring headlights,
children playing IN the street, care

Another reason for the accidents
which is given is failure to observe
the right of way" How many motor
lists shoot over a crossing without
looking either to left or right! Or il
they see man on the right, think
they can cheat him to it."
Fortunately, due to the number OF
automobiles used nowadays, and a
changed attitude, the 'tsmart" driver is

Except among an ignorant class OF
drivers, almost in the illiterate minor

There was only one woman driver
who figured in an accident during the

Will Make Kenosha Yet.
Steele offered the assurance that the
airship would keep the same timer
airy as was planned for the Los Ange-
les last Sunday which would bring it
over Kenosha. Today the Evening
News was beseiged with telephone calls
for any definite information which
could tell when the dirigible would
fly over the city. The announcement
that the change in plans had been
made brought a temporary disappoint-
ment to these persons.
An Associated Press dispatch de-
clares that the Shenandoah is to fly
to Portland, Me-, on July for the
governors conference, and if it can
be inflated in time the Minnesota trip
will be taken first. Otherwise, it wi3l
