Ezra Simmons and Son Seriously
Injured in Auto Accident in
Bristol on Sunday
CAR SWERvES AT BASE OF HILL
Mr.. Simmons Was Driving the Car and
Was Pinned Under it Sustaining
Dislocation of His Shoulder
Son Slightly Injured

Ezra Simmons, brother of 2. G.. Sim
and suffered severe injuries late Sun
day afternoon when an automobile in
which he and his son uuy Simmons
were riding, turned turtle on the
Geneva road eight miles west OF Ke
nosha. Mr. Simmons was pinned
under the car and suffered a disloca-
tion and wrench of the right shoulder
and several bad abrasions on his head
as well as bad bruises on his body.
Guy Simmons has a badly wrenched
shoulder and several severe bruises as
"a result of the accident. The elder
of the two passengers in the car is
confined to his bed at his home on Chi
cago street.
Mr.. Simmons and his son had made
a run out to Hooker Lake from Ke-
nosha early Sunday afternoon and
were on the return trip late in the
day when the accident happened. Mr..
Simmons was driving the car and was
running at fair rate of speed. The
accident happened at the base of what
is known as the Bristol hill just east
of Paddocks Lake. Mr.. Simmons had
piloted the car over the big hill and
was running along the level strip at
the bottom eff the hill watching the
hill ahead of him when the automobile
struck something in the road or the
steering gear failed to work promptly.
The car swerved to one side and Mr..
Simmons swung the wheel about with
the intention of keeping it in the
road and he swung it too far and the
little car went over like boat struck
by a wave. As the speed of the car
at the time of the accident was pretty
fast Guy Simmons was thrown with
considerable force from the machine
striking at the other side Of the road.
His father was held in the machine by
the steering gear and when it turned
turtle he fell under the automobile.
The younger man rushed to the rescue
of his father and found him in a
dazed condition under the car. He re-
NAMED in this semi conscious condi
ton for ten minutes and by that time
help had been secured and the car was
lifted and Mr.. Simmons taken to the

TroMhles of a Peacemakar.

Bolivia's action in taking umbrags
at the decision made by Argentina as
arbiter in the dispute submitted under
the arbitration agreement brings the
whole principle of arbitrating interna
tional disputes back to the starting
point. Bolivia and Peru submitted
to arbitration a boundary case which
has hung fire for a century. Argent
Ia decided in favor of Peru. upon
which Bolivia charged bad faith ON
the part of the Argentine president.
Naturally the Argentine government
must back up its executive, and so
national honor comes to the fore just
as at the commencement. The nation
which lost the case feels hurt, and the
referee nation feels insulted.
1t was considered a great gain for
the peace of America when the Latin
American nations agreed to submit to
arbitration. But these nations are
very sensitive on points of honor.
Arbitration treaties exempt causes
which come close to a nations honor
Decision favoring either party to such
a case would be likely to end in war,
and the disputants might as we'll fight
it out in the first place. Bolivia's SEN
sitiveness brought third party, the
| umpire. into the turmoil. Carnegie
once suggested that international dis
| putes be settled by third party pow
erful enough to enforce its decisions.
That might suit a weak nation hav-
ing good case. But Bolivia's resent
ment Of the award shows that in some
cases arbitration only spreads the trou-
BILE. for there's likely to be hot blood
behind a quarrel which the principals
cannot or will not adjust between
| themselves.

Repeater Weston.

Edward Payson Weston's feat of
walking from New York to San Fran
cisco in about 100 days during his
seventy-frst year is enough to jar the
worshipers of the mere "get there
man. That is often the record Of the
man Of a great stunt. He scores q
marvel once. but can never repeat it.
For those who make big records the
career, as rule, is short. Physical
powers have been overtaxed and re-
bel. So the procession of athletic
"has beens" is a long one.
Weston's record will doubtless be
equaled and perhaps cut down. But
it is safe to say that the man who
pushes him from his pedestal will not
be veteran Of threescore and ten
and who has been walking marvellous
distances for forty years. Weston has
taken care Of his capital He finds
luxury in his work, not in the fame
and emolument Of spurts. With him
'art for arts sake is a commemorate
motto. He walked to keep in it. to be
able to do the good thing over and
over again. Persistence often pro-
duces marvels. but the chief marvel in
Westons case is his persisting up to
and beyond the limit.

The state law provides that the
county treasurer shall act in the capa-
city of official sealer of weights and
measures and that he shall receive his
compensation for the work he does in
the form of fees so that the people
who require his service will have to
pay for them and there will be no
additional expense to the county tax
payers in the way of an increase in
salary for that official Putting the
treasurer at work testing the weights
and measures in use in the county will
not add dollar of expense to the tax
payers and in the long run it will
save the buyers lot of money. AT
first glance hundred dollars seems
good deal to pay for standard

probable that there IS little founda

BLUE MOUND BEATEN
Kenosha Country Club Golfers
Win First Team Match of the
Season at Milwaukee
WIN BY A NARROW MARGIN

The Kenosha Country Club golfers
won their first club match of the sea-
son at Milwaukee on Saturday after
noon when they defeated the members
OF the Blue Mound Country CLUB in a
twenty team match. The victory was
with the Kenosha club by decidedly
harrow margin and at the close OF the
contest Kenosha had scored rs points
10 20 for their opponentsIt was not
until the last pair of starters came in
from the final round that the contest
was Nended and the lead of the Keno
sha players was such narrow one
that victory for one more of the
Milwaukee players would have resulted
In a tie in the match. The Kenosha
players were not acquainted with the
links of the Milwaukee club and this
meant lot in the scores. The cracks
of the Kenosha club were more inter
ested IN getting practice for the state
tournament next month than II get
ting the best of their hosts, but not
wlthstanding this fact, all of the Ke
nosha leaders gave good account of
themselves.
There was little in the way of star
play, the baked condition of the course
being such 3 novelty to the visitors
that they could not deliver better than
DOGGY cards with their usual aptitude.
Fred Petit, state champion, carried
OH the medal honors of the day, doing
two 39s, but he was held we'll by H.
IS. Hadfeld, who also took 80, one
under DOGGY, on the in nine. Petit
however, took the lead in the first
round and Hadfeld could no better
than hold his man after that.
Dick Cavanagh, former state cham
|rion, was paired with Howard D.
Plmpton, but was able to win the
victory, Plimpton being badly off his
game. Cavanagh was not forced to
score low to win, though he did 80 for
the eighteen. One of the promising
candidates for future championship
events, however, was next to Petit
in the medal scoring way, Gordon Yule,
who brought in 70, and took 3 points
from Price M. Davis, one of the most
reliable of the Blue Mounders.

The budget Of the Board Of Educa
ton giving the estimated receipts and
expenditures fer the schools for the
year 1910 was presented to the Coun-
ell at the meeting Tuesday night and
as was expected the estimate of the
amount needed for the schools was the
largest in the history of the city.
Besides q bond issue of $4,000 for
the new Columbus school the Board
asks for little over $4,000 in cash
from the taxpayers of the city.
Under the law the Council has no OPP
ton but to include the amount asked
by the Board in the next tax levy so
that In case any one was hoping
against hope that the estimates of the
Board were going to assist in keeping
the levy down he is now assured that
they will not. The Board also asked
for an additional appropriation of
$4,000 to apply on the old debt of
$4,000 which has been hanging over
the Board since the last new building
was built. The Board had the delicacy
to put this demand in the form of a
request instead of including this $4,000
in the regular estimates so that it is
optional with the Council whether the
Board is given this additional amount
or not, but the Council may as well
make a clean sweep and appropriate
the money. The Council may as we'll
make a start on cutting down this
debt which will have to be paid some
time now as later for from present in
dications the city is going to keep
right on expanding at such rate that
the expenses of the Board for the
maintenance of the schools and for
new buildings will be so heavy for
the next few years that there will
never be time when the whole
amount can be included in the esti-
mates without putting too much of a
1
burden on the taxpayer, That indi-
vidual will have all he can do to sup
lply the money needed for the actual
running expenses of the schools with
out putting up big lump for the
payment of back debts. There is no
doubt but that many of the people of
the city would have been opposed to
bond issue had the question been sub
mitted to them, but so long as the
financial condition of the city is such
that it was practically impossible to
raise the money for the new building
which the Board of Education had
decided was urgently needed in any
other way, they have submitted to the
inevitable as gracefully as possibly.
If bond must be issued they would
rather they were issued for new schools
than for anything else.
