EXCITING CHASE
LANDS THIEVES
Sheriff's Men Succeed in
Nabbing Two Youthful
Auto Thieves.
MAY CLEAR UP THEFTS

Extraordinary vigilance and good de-
tective work on the part of Sheriff
Frank Willems and his men resulted in
the arrest of two youths early this
morning who are now in custody in the
county jail held pending an investiga-
tion by the Office of the district at
torney. The two are James Wember
Is, and Ed. Buglesky, also 16, both OF
Kenosha.
The story of their capture has all
of the thrills Of an old-time western
novel as the story weaves its way out
on the highways Of the county and
back into the city again.
1t all. began on Sunday night when
Hans Johnson, ATT Bond street, saw
two young men get into his Ford
sedan parked at the corner of Chicago
and Oak streets. He notified the police
moment later as he saw the car
speed up the street.
Stopped At Walworth.
The two young men drove out the
Geneva road and ran out of gas at a
point just west of Walworth near Be
lott. They left the car there, and, ac-
cording to the story given Sheriff VIII
lens, stole two bicycles in order to
come back home. In this manner they
succeeded in getting as far as Salem
when they spotted the Ford, roadster
of Albert Eppings parked near Brass
and got into this car at $3.50 o'clock
Monday morning. But Eppings saw
them and gave chase. The oys brought
the car to a halt and both ran into
the fields nearby
About this time Deputy Sheriff Nick
Erickson came along and he and Ep-
pings succeeded in catching Wember
in the field. They returned to Kenosha
with him and reported to Sheriff Will
lens. The sheriff Immediately ordered
Motorcycle Officers Robinson, Bostet-
ter, Schendt, LaViolette and Rauen out
to the vicinity to block every road in
an effort to catch the other youth.
Caught in Kenosha Home.
In the meantime Sheriff Willems
Undersheriff Joseph Knipfer and
Deputy Erickson learned something
of the other youth and began a sys-
tematic visit to the homes of several
relatives of the escaped boy in Keno
sha, believing that he may have re.
turned here to hide. At 1880 o'clock
this morning the searching party To-
Gated Wember at the home of rela.
tive here, and he was placed under ar
rest and brought to the county Jail
A possibility that the arrests of the
two boys may clear up series Of
other automobile thefts in Kenosha
and Kenosha county during the past
few weeks doomed today as Assistant
District Attorney Morris Barnett and
John Kennedy began an investigation
Formal charges of grand larceny will
be placed against Buglesky, it was
said, but no agreement has yet been
reached on the charge which will be
placed against Wember.

MOONSHINE CASE
DISMISSED TODAY
Lack of Search Warrant
Saves Tony Caravelli
From Trial.
JURY IS PRESENT

After respite of two weeks the
July term jury again gathered in the
municipal court this morning, but they
were given nothing to do during the
morning session. The twenty jurors
were called and about to be questioned
in the case of the state VS.. Tony Car
avelh, charged with unlawful posses
sion of moonshine, but the attorney
for the defense interposed with a mo-
tion for dismissal.
The motion was argued in Judge
Slater's chambers between Assistant
District Attorney Morris Barnett and
Attorney Leo VaudreuiI, representing
Caravelli. The defense attorney main
had been searched without warrant,
and this proved to be true.
Another Case Today.
Judge Slater returned to the court
room, and dismissed the case, dis
charging the defendant.
"This defendant" said Judge Slater
to the jury, sis charged with unlawful
possession of moonshine on March
31st of this year. The facts show that
the police officers went to the defend
ants private home on another arrest,
il does not matter what, and without
a search warrant, found bottle of
moonshine liquor behind the bed They
had to look for it. Now the law says
that no search warrant shall issue
unless Intoxicating liquor is being
manufactured or kept for purpose of
sale. In this case no search war
rant was issued, and it is not proper
to allow the case to go to jury.
"The case is dismissed and the de-
PENDANT discharged"
The jury was excused until two
o'clock this afternoon. The district
attorney was uncertain which case will
go to trial In the cases of the state
VS.. Dan Fleming and Carlo Trevanty,
there will be pleas of guilty, Judge
Slater was told. In two other cases,
those of the state VS.. George Wavro
and against Martin Schmidt, the prin-
cipal witness, John Scholey, is not
available, Mr.. Barnett said.

The regents of the University re-
Gently passed a Revolutionary vote of
9 to 6-stating that hereafter no gifts
would be accepted from the great edu-
cational foundations. This action was
taken with a degree Of haste map
propriate to the Importance of the
subject, and with little or no public
discussion. Inasmuch as the policy
adopted in this resolution will have a
disastrous effect on the University,
and will undoubtedly-if continued -
deprive the taxpayers of Wisconsin
of the benefit of many millions Of
dollars in gifts for education and re-
search, it should be discussed widely
so that the facts will be known to
the public and an intelligent, unpre-
JUDGED public opinion result.
/ am leaving Wisconsin to take up
my residence in another state. But
this fact does not in the slightest de-
gree lessen my desire that the Uni
versity of Wisconsin shall continue to
offer to the people of the state every
advantage that will result from the
teaching and research of men of the
highest ability To keep such men on
it's faculty there must be no denial
Of the right and the willingness Of the
University to accept proper gifts from
all sources.
Many of our best men are on the
faculty because of the opportunity for
research their positions offer. This re-
search is quite largely paid for by
gifts such as the regents have now re-
fused. With their opportunities cur
tailed many faculty men will quickly
find other positions where they can
continue their research.
So I am firmly convinced that the
action of the regents is. the most
severe blow the institution has ever
suffered 1t will change it to second
or third rate institution in a very
short time.
/. There are three chief sources of
funds for University support:
a-Taxes, appropriated by legisla-
tive bodies.
b-Gifts
c-Student fees.
2. A careful study will show that
each of these three sources has been
productive Of abuse in certain cases.
So it does not seem sensible to rule
out any source Of revenue because
once upon a time some one used it i'm
properly.
All appropriations and gifts to the
University are properly limited to
specific purposes. SO long as these
limits do not curtail freedom of search
for truth, believe they are proper.
What / refer to as improper limits
are those that are made to curtail
policies or subject matter taught to
one side of question, so as to
prevent full and free presentation of
the truth.
l cite the following examples:
a-Student fees even have been used
in very rare cases to enrich improp-
erly, owners of private institutions
run purely for business profit-such
rs fake schools that sell diplomas.
b-Gifts have probably been used in
some cases to control subject matter
taught and policies of administration.
] have heard rumors of such things
in connection with religious schools,
but never in any state university.
c-TaX support of universities has
been productive of more abuse than
all others that can be cited. Perhaps
the best known in this state is the
demand by a state officer that DR..
