XIV, NO. 29 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 PRICE! FIVE CENTS TWENTY-FOUR PAGES NEARS GOAL IN TOUR CONTEST Zita Hayes Represents Win- netka in State-Wide Com- petition for World Tour MAKES FINE PROGRESS Products Exposition Spon- sors Great Contest Miss Zita Hayes, 869 Locust street, Winnetka's contestant in the state- wide ticket sale contest for the round- the-world tour, offered as a prize by the Illinois Products Exposition and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce to the girl selling the largest numbers of tickets for the exposition in propor- tion to the size of the town she repre- sents, stood in eighth position when a count of votes was made last Satur- day. Since then she has sold a large number of additional tickets and hopes to sell enough this week to get the 1,000 vote bonus for the week. The winner of the contest will take a trip around the world as the guest of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, and as the representative of the state of Illinois. Miss Hayes announced that she is making a house-to-house canvass of the village this week in an effort to make up for time lost at the beginning of the contest, when she was on her vacation. The contest closes October 3, at 10 o'clock. The girl who has sold the most advance tickets to the Illinois Products Exposition by that time will win the contest--the trip around the world, an experience that will make her the pride of her community and the envy of thousands. She will have won a "background" of foreign travel that only girls of wealth and leisure usually can hope to attain. . Every resident of Winnetka who buys an advance ticket is helping a local girl win a trip around the world, all expenses paid. He also is exhibiting state pride in supporting and planning to attend the greatest exposition ever put on. Two girls will make the trip around the world--one from Chicago, and one from outside of Chicago. They will sail from the famous San Fransisco waterfront, honored guests on the liner because they are representatives of the state of Illinois. The first stop will be Honolulu, with its beautiful harbor, its famous beach of Waikiki, its naval base, its volcano and its magnificent hotels. After the Hawaian stop, the liner will steer straight across the Pacific to Kobe, "the Land of the Rising Sun." The wonders of the old world--in the Orient and Egypt, will be seen by the two girls. They will sup in Japanese tea houses, visit famous temples and bazaars, see the sphynx and sail the blue waters of the Medi- terranean. Paris, the battlefields of France,--and London will be included in the itinerary. All expenses will be paid by the 1925 Illinois Products Ex- position. Women's Bible Class to Hear Famous Speakers The Women's Bible class of the Winnetka Congregationa church an- nounces its program for the month of October.

The {festival of Rosh Hashonah brought out what was said to have been the largest attendance in the his- tory of the congregation at services in the Winnetka Congregational church Friday evening, September 18. It was a great tribute both to the new season in the Jewish faith, and the new pastor, only recently inducted as leader of the local organization. CALL RESIDENTS 10 "OPEN HOUSE Community House Holds An- nual Event October 14 Community House will hold "Open House" on the evenings of Wednes- day, October 14, and Thursday, Oc- tober 15. At this time it is planned to. have the different groups that utilize the center regularly, depict on some phase of activity that shall either entertain, or will illustrate something of the work of the various groups. This will give an opportunity for all the people in Winnetka to gain an idea of what Community House is doing, and of the important place which it has in the life of the com- munity. : The work of Community House is known nationally, and those living in this village will, naturally, wish to have a glimpse of the work of the House, it is felt, and so this opportun- ity is to be provided. Many people have been able to see only the par- ticular phase of the work with which they are connected, and have ex- pressed a desire to know more about the work which this busy center is conducting. With that in view, it was decided, last 'spring, by the Board of Govern- ors, and the Community House coun- cil, to hold two evenings this fall, when the adult activities could be in- dicated. There will be, for instance, a play given by the Community Drama club; a dinner by the Rotary club, with special features relative to its work, while the different' foreign groups, dancing 'classes, gymnasium groups, clubs and other units will each present a special stunt or activ- ity interest. Indications are for a large attendance. - Further details will appear later. A meeting of the Community House council is called for Monday evening, September 28, to consider the matter in final arrangements. Winnetka Scouts Start Activity of New Season Winnetka Boy Scouts are getting ready for their winter's work. The First Class Scouts held their open- ing meeting with the Scoutmaster, "Chief Davies, Friday evening, Sep- tember 25, in the Community House. Fridav evening, October 2, the First and Second Class Scouts will meet. Further announcements of the plans for the year will appéar later. The Scouts are meeting on Friday evenings this winter instead of Thurs- day evenings as heretofore. This is in co-operation with the public schools. It is the policy on the part of the schools to put nothing on that after- noon of the week that tire the boys, thus keeping them from Scout work. Parents ,who desire their boys to come into the Scouts must see to it that they attend regularly, it is explained, as co-operation on the part of Com- munity House and grammer schools must be supplemented by co-opera- tion on the part of the parents.

PROBE ALLEGED SPEEDER 'TRAP' States Attorney and Village Officials Investigate Re- ported Irregularities \ MANY RUMORS AFLOAT Motorists Declare They Have Been Terrorized Recent investigations by the states attorney's office of an alleged speed trap conducted by Sergt. John Iver- son and Patrolman Edward Cum- mings, together with Police Magis- trate Ralph E. Sinsheimer, resulted in the announcement issued late this week by Village President John S. Miller, that a special board of inquiry consisting of two council members and one layman will be appointed to make an official investigtion for the village. This board will probably begin its work today. The investigation by the states at- torney's office grew out of complaints made by several motorists who charg- ed that while passing through the vil- lage at an early hour in the morning they had been tricked into speeding by the pursuit of a motor car with no distinguishing marks on it, which they later found to be a police car. State Summons Witnesses Among witnesses whose testimony was heard this week by Assistant States Attorney Charles Mueller, who is conducting the investigation, were Francis Woolly, 324 Lincoln avenue, Glencoe, Motorcycle Police- man John Hanselman, ice Magis-- trates Clark T. Northrop and Bryon A. Nelson, Sherman le, 511 Ash street, a former village sident, Lloyd Hollister, and several others. Woolley, through his attorney, charged that he was chased to Glencoe by an automobile bearing no distingu- ishing marks in which were policemen without uniforms or stars who fired into his machine when he did not stop. Motorcycle Policeman Hanselman testified that he heard numerous com- plaints from motorists at the treat- ment they had received at the hands of Sinsheimer and the policemen. He also said that he had been told it was the usual practice of Magistrate Sinsheimer to convene court late at night, or early in the morning, to hear cases that had been caught in the al- leged "trap." i ge oon Formerly Dismissed Police Magistrate Nelson told Muel- ler that he tried only about 25 cases a month, whereas Sinsheimer 1s said to have admitted that he tried many times that number. Sherman Goble told the investigators that while he held the office of village president he was forced to dismiss Sergt. Iverson, then a member of the police depart- ment, for forgetting to turn mn money which he had seized: in' gambling raids. Indications at the states at- torney's office were that the whole police force might be called upon to testify. Since the investigation start- ed reports of other irregularities dur- ing the early morning hours after Chief Peterson had gone home have been frequently heard. : Await Board Inquiry Pending the official investigation by the newly appointed board of inquiry it was said. Chief Peterson declined to make a statement regarding the affair until the board of inquiry re- ports its findings. None of the testi- mony offered has reflected upon him any way. iE The a antime, Sergt. Iverson has gone on his vacation, from which he is expected to return about October 1. A careful search through police records showed that Magistrate Sinsheimer tried 102 cases between September 1 and September 20 and that the arrest slip for a son of Judge Dennis E. Sullivan of Chicago, whose treatment at the hands of Sinsheimer caused Judge Sullivan to push the in- vestigation, had been removed. It had been on record in Sinsheimer"s book of slips until recently. SERIOUSLY ILL Louis T. Schramm, 550 Providence avenue, has been ill for some time at the St. Francis hospital, Evanston, with a serious case of typhoid fever. His condition has remained about the same, according to members of the family. no action will be taken by the Village, a a ih a SH ES
