Reneed Probe Into Auto Crash Brings Warrant For Drve
Woman Charged
With Poisoning
a Family Dog

Mary Kondrecki, .651 Julia street,
was brought into court his morning
on the charge of having administered
poison to dog owned by John Good
win. She pleaded not guilty, declar-
ing that she had said she would shoot
the dog if it came upon her prop
erty, but insisting that she had not
given poison to it.
Six dogs in the neighborhood were
poisoned by the act of some one, the
district attorney said. Five of them
had died, and one, the Goodwin dog,
had survived through the help of a
veterinary surgeon.
The offense in the case of the death
of an animal is punishable to the ex-
IRENE penalty by Imprisonment in
state prison for two years.
Mrs. Kondrecki was placed under
bonds of $500 for appearance August
4. The long continuance was given
by consent between state and defen-
dant, due to the absence upon vaca-
tion of some of the witnesses.

KEEPS EYE ON
SUNDAY DANCES
District Attorney Is Max
ing Survey Of the Dance
Hall Situation.
TO MEET COMMITTEE
Will Present Results of Survey
to Dance Hall Committee at
Meeting This Week.

District Attorney Lewis Powell this
morning, in answer to an inquiry put
to him regarding the present situation
in Kenosha county on the Sunday
dance problem, let it be known that he
was keeping his eye on the various
dance halls of the county and knew of
operation of dances on Sunday with
out permits but was delaying action
until after he had conferred with the
dance hall committee of the county
board of supervisors. =
II. am trying to be fair and reason
able in the handling of this question" "
said District Attorney Powell. For
that reason before taking any further
action, am making a survey of con-
ditions in various counties of the state
of Wisconsin and intend to place the
results Of this survey before the dance
hall committee at its meeting the lat
ter part of the week"
District Attorney Powell has sent
letters to the district attorney of each
county of the state asking each to
make a frank statement as to the sit
uation on dance hall regulation, with
reference especially to Sunday dances,
in this county. Answers have been
po dring into the Office of the district
attorney showing that many other
counties are having the same problem
that Kenosha county has. Many coun-
ties are not allowing dances on Sun
day, some are permitting them and a
few are on the fence, taking no stand.
Several prosecutors stated that they
were making no attempt to enforce
Sunday dance hall laws except where
complaints were made by those near
the halls.
1t is believed that the dance hall
committee after going over the results
of this survey will outline a more
definite policy as to what attitude is
to be maintained in Kenosha county.

SHOWS NEED OF
NEW FACILITIES
Present Hospital Condi-
ton Wholly Inadequate
for KenOsha Today.
Is SERIOUS SITUATION


Kenosha is in a serious situation
as far as its hospital facilities are
concerned, it was revealed today. A
survey of the hospitals in Kenosha
shows that there is equipment for 105
patients at one time, or approximately
one bed to every 500 persons in the
population of the city The accepted
standard in well-balanced communi-
ties, and the standard which medical
authorities throughout the nation are
advocating is one bed to every $50
persons in the city. This situation
brings to Kenbsha half as many hos
pital beds as it normally should have
under the prescribed standards.
The survey also shows that the city
has dearth of graduate nurses of
professional work which the nurse
training schools cannot begin to APP
proach fulfillment. If some catas-
trophe or disaster should ever strike
the city Kenosha would be helpless
to take proper care of a large number
of i'll or injured and such conditions
might result in serious consequences.
The st. GATHERINGS hospital has a
capacity of so beds and the hospital
is always full The Kenosha hospital
has So beds in a 50-bed hospital and
is constantly turning away patients
for lack of rooms and additional IA
cilities to take care of all who apply
for admittance.
While the equipment in each of Ke-
nosha's two hospitals is the best
which they are able to afford under
the financial limitations in which each
finds itself the real handicap is not
in equipment or in the staff of work
ers, but in the shortage of hospital
space. Practically every city on the
north shore with a comparatively
smaller population than that of Ke-
nosha has proportionately larger hos
pital facilities, and in Waukegan and
Racine the hospital buildings are
larger than either of the Kenosha
buildings.
One concrete instance which actu-
ally happened recently is brought
forth as an illustration of the tragic
circumstances that might obtain at
any moment in Kenosha under pres
ent conditions:
Accident Victim Was Lucky.
One afternoon recently serious ac-
cident occurred in which two persons
were seriously hurt. One of the two
died on the way to the hospital and
his body was taken at once to the
morgue. The other fingered on the
operating table at the hospital for
few moments and died. At that mo-
ment the hospital was filled to capaci-
ty and there would have been no place
to move the sick man for rest. These
cases are isolated but they happen
at any time.
At the Kenosha hospital on many
occasions maternity cases are refused
physicians who apply for room for
their patient, because they ale con-

BURGLARS ENTER
WILMOT GARAGE
Take 500 Worth of Auto
mobile Tires and Tubes
and Stock of Oil.
USED SIDE WINDOW

The fourth burglary reported out
in the county within a week has just
left its mark in the town Of Wilmot.
Sometime between twelve o'clock last
night and eight o'clock this morning,
burglars entered the Wilrnot garage,
gathered up two new tires, twelve
inner tubes, and six gallon cans of
oil, and escaped without leaving a
clue. The value of the loot is placed
at 500 by the owner and was not
covered by insurance.
When Charles Schultz, the owner
of the garage, opened for business
this morning he noticed the theft.
The robbery was not reported to the
sheriff's Office here, according to
Schultz, because there was no posi-
bility, he believed, of picking up the
trail of the robbers.
The same type of robbery was re-
ported last week when safe-blowers
went through the Borden Milk station,
the Bruner Dairy company Offices, and
the Salem Auto company, getting away
with loot valued at over S400. No
trace Of these bandits was ever picked
up. In these cases as In the W1lmot
garage robbery, the burglars were able
to get far away from the scene long
before their work was discovered and
in this way it has been almost impos-
sible to pick up any trails which
might lead to their arrest.
The latest county burglary has
made every merchant and store owner
in the towns outside of Kenosha pre-
pare themselves for any such exigen-
cies if they are to meet any more. One
merchant in Wilmot declared that he
was going to shoot to kill" any one
found in the act Of burglarizing his
place. Other merchants looked upon
that determination as one Of the most
effective ways to ward off the ever
growing stream OF burglaries that
have struck the county in recent
months.

Another resolution deplored "the

of occupation by this cheapening Of
labor; disruptive Of the marital rela-
tions as they should exist between
husband and wife; and in general in
imical to the best welfare of the

When Car Hits Pole.

District Attorney Lewis Powell is
sued warrant this morning for Frank

tomobile while intoxicated. The war
rant for the mans arrest was issued
as the result of an investigation of
an accident which happened last Sat-
urday night when the car which But
terra was driving crashed into tele-
phone pole at the corner of Grand
avenue road and School street.
Buttera was held after the accident
but released. He refused to say that
he was driving the car. However, the
district attorney learned from three
women who were witnesses of the ac-
cident that ButSera himself was at the
wheel.
Meanwhile as a result of the collid-
ing of the car with telephone pole,
fire threatened the home of Louis
NORM who lives on the corner. NORM
when he turned on the electric light
in his home Monday evening noticed
that the wires were smoking. Follow
ing it up, he learned that the defect
was due to the damage to the wires

scepted today only with the under
standing that a ward will be available
if some other patient should leave.
The henosha hospital today is re-
fusing to encourage bringing of chill
dren for medical observation at the
hospital. The present building has
no provisions for children's ward
and the practice in that instance is to
have nurse watch child that is i'll

of space prevents this now.
Kenosha is now preparing itself for
the reception of new addition to
the hospital facilities of the city. An
addition is now being built to the Ke-

building on the south, which will
eventually double the capacity of the
hospital and place the city in posi-
tion where it's. hospital needs will
more nearly be met than they are at
present. But before this building
can be completed the sum of $350,000
must be raised, and plans have al
ready been made for the Kenosha

will start on Monday July 20. At that
time an attempt will be made to in
