THoMMESsEN TO RETIRE
Alderman From the Fifth Ward Will
Not Seek Reelection

John A. Thommessen, for the past
four years the representative Of the
Fifth ward in the Common Council,
made formal announcement this
morning that he would not seek re-
election in his ward. Mr. Thommessen
states that he is planning to move out
of the ward in short time and that
he retires at this time in order leave
the field open for other democratic
candidates. Thommessen has been one
of the closest friends of Mayor Scholey
in his political life in Kenosha and his
retirement came as a surprise to many
people interested in politics. AS yet
none Of the Democrats of the ward
have taken out petitions for nomination
but there are number of Republicans
seeking the Office.

a city sealer Of weights and measures
and the matter was referred to a
special committee composed of Alder
man Thommassen, Willems and o 'Brien
Under the state law it is the duty
of the county treasurer to act in this
capacity and the matter may be taken
up with the. county later.
The meeting was a short and uninter-
esting one and all of the business was
concluded within an hour after the
opening of the meeting.

TO PROTECT LABOR
Bill introduced at Madison Would
Safeguard Men Employed in
Factories of the State
WILL FOLLOW MODEL LAWS

The present Legislature, from the
standpoint of giving intelligent con
sideration to the interests Of the great
army in laborers in the big workshops
of our state, promises to be far in adj
vance of any previous session.
Wallace Ingalls,, the Racine member,
as many have expected, has drafted
and put into shape in the form of
bills, several amendments to the pres
ent statutes, and created several new
sections of the statute, designed and
calculated to give an equal chance in
the courts in personal injury actions.
The effect Of the bills already intro
duced by Mr.. ingalls,, if enacted into
law, is to require machinery, elevators,
ETC., to be more securely guarded and
protected. Also to destroy defenses
based on the negligence of co-em-
ployes. Also to compel the submits
sion to the jury of all questions of con-
tributory negligence and assumption
of risk in so far as the same can be
legally done, to the jury. The ten
dency which is to persuade the court
to submit to the jury the question Of
negligence instead of ignoring the jury
: and passing upon the questions as a
matter Of law. Also to limit the mum
Der and character of questions for sub.
| mission to the jury in the matter of
special verdicts in order that the
chance of a jury misunderstanding
questions may be eliminated. This of
itself will be a. marked improvement
over the present system.
| Also a provision authorizing re-
covery notwithstanding the employe
may have been careless to some extent
when the negligence of the employer is
greater than that Of the employee.
This is the most advanced legislation
in the interests Of justice to unfor-
tunate employees, the victim of acci-
dent, that has ever been proposed in
| Wisconsin, and no persuasion unless
legitimate and sound is likely to deter
| Mr.. ingalls,, who is the author Of them
! from putting forth every effort in his
power to see that they are enac-
ed into law.
Wisconsin is one of the most back
ward states in the Union along this
line, and this subject is probably one
of the most interesting that the present
legislature will have to deal with.

"UNCoMMoN COUNCIL MEETS
Y. M. @. A. Boys Have Interesting Dis
cussions on Monday Night

The Uncommon Council" made
some interesting suggestions relating to
the police and fire departments at the
meeting held at the association build
ing last evening.
Regarding the qualifications for po-
hceman one of the boys suggested that
each applicant be compelled to compete
in the annual five mile race Others
suggested regular gymnasium work. II
was declared that some members of the
present force are about FIVE times too
tall around the waist line
Very good reasons were shown by
Ellsworth Clark for the installation of
automobile trucks in the fire depart
ment in place of those now in use
Figures were given showing the results
of this equipment in other cities.
Though the first cost Of automobile
equipment is high the running expense
is much less so that they are really an
advantage from financial standpoint
On the other hand there is d great saw
ing of time in reaching fires which il
utmost Importance. Motors of such
power and reliability are now construct
ed that the argument that the machines
might fail to work no longer has any
weight.

kenosha Auto Manufacturers Sell
More Cars Than Any Other
Company at Chicago Show
SALES REACH HIGH MARK
Local Company Had Retail Sales Of 100
Cars Valued at Over S30O,OOO in
Single Week-Busy Time at
Plant is Certain

Kenosha people in general and the
officials of the Thomas b. Jeffrey Com
pany in particular are gratifed with
the outcome of the Chicago Automobile
show as with the closing of the show
on Saturday evening it was declared
that the Kenosha company had sold
more cars than any other company ex-
hibiting at the show. The retail sales
of the Thomas B. Jeffery Company at
the show amounted to over 100 cars
and this great business was not even
approached by any of the other 500
exhibitors who had space in the coli
scum. The Jeffrey exhibit attracted
more attention than any other exhibit
at the show and taking $1,000 as the
average price at which the cars were
sold the business done by the local
company in the single week amounted
to more than 100000. This repre-
sented actual sales and does not take
into consideration the large number of
prospects secured by the Jeffrey COM
pany which will be turned over to the
selling agents Of tho company in all
parts of the country. The Rambler
was the hit of the show one Of the
features which attracted more attention
to the Rambler exhibit than any other
was the recent innovation of Thomas
B. Jeffery-the spare wheel. This
spare wheel sold more automobiles than
any other new feature of automobile
construction shown at the big exhibit
ton. The great demand for Ramblers
at the show shows that this will be the
greatest year in the history of the
Rambler plant and it is certain that
the output of the factory, however
large it may be, will be sold long be-
fore the season is over The Jeffrey
! Company, convinced Of the merit of
their line for the new year, had the
most pretentious show at Chicago and
the enterprise shown by the company
was reflected in the great batch of
orders secured. Most Of these orders
are for delivery within the next few
weeks and with the large orders that
have already been received from the
agents Of the company throughout the
world it is certain that the Kenosha
plant will be kept running to its
capacity in order to supply the demand
for Rambler cars.
The Ramblers for this year are said
to be the ideal of reasonable priced
automobile construction and this fact
has caused them to attract wide atten-
tion.
The Ford and Cadillac Companies,
both makers Of lower priced antomo-
4 biles, are said to have been second in
the point Of sales at the show and the
Jeffrey Company far out distaneed
them.
/ Mr.. Jeffrey, in discussing the sue
cess of this line this year, declared that
it showed that the automobile had
come to stay and that the people were
looking for car which represented
the best value of their money rather
than the lowest expenditure for first
cost.
| More than five hundred Kenosha peo-
pie visited the Rambler exhibit during
show week.

Wei Known North Side Man Died
Monday as Result of Over
Dose Of Paris Green
LONG BEEN NERVOUS WRECK
Deceased Had Been Resident of Ke-
nosha for Many Years and Tragic
Death Causes Profound Sen
sation Among Friends

Michael Schulien, aged 90 years, an
old resident of the north side of the
city, died at his home, 81 Division
street, Monday as a. result Of dose of
Paris Green administered evidently
with suicidal intent. Schulien died
just before noon, but the facts in re-
gard to the suicide did not become pub
lie until late III the afternoon when
the undertaken was called to the house.
Schulien had taken the fatal dose
Of poison early in the morning and
fingered in agony for many hours be-
fore death came to release him from
his suffering. The old man had been
in bad health for several weeks and
doctors who had attended HIM had ad-
vised that he be sent to a, hospital
where he could be treated, but hoping
that he would recover his health the
members Of the family had not desired
to take this step. On sunday the CON
dition of Schullen was exceedingly
critical and during Sunday night he
was heard moving about in the lower
part of the house. Later he was heard
shouting in the lot outside the house
and members Of the family hurried to
his assistance. 1t was found that he
had taken portion of an ounce of
Paris Green. He was carried into the
house and DR.. George E. Thompson
called to attend him. He fingered un-
til nearly noon.
DR.. Thompson at once made an effort
to call Coroner Andre, but it was
learned that the coroner was in Racine
and being unwilling to turn the re-
mains over to an undertaken until af-
ter the coroner had made his investiga-
tion DR.. Thompson decided to avail
the return of DR.. Andre. The coroner
returned from Racine early in the af-
ternoon and went to the Schulien home
and made an investigation of the facts
in the case. DIR. Thompson and the
members of the family were examined
and after this examination it was de-
cided that it would be unnecessary to
call jury to hold an inquest over the
remains. The testimony given by the
doctor and the members Of the family
showed clearly that Schulien had been
demented for some time and that his
nervous trouble had been in the acute
stage for a couple of weeks. The
evidence showed that Schulien had said
to his wife repeatedly, "they are after
me and are going to get me this time. 2
He seemed to be suffering from an
acute religious mania. DR.. Andre sign
ed the death certificate giving the
cause of death as a self administered
dose of Paris Green during a period OF
dementia
The deceased was widely known
among the people of the north side
and his tragic death caused profound
sensation. Schulien was native OF
Germany, but he had been a resident
of Kenosha for more than forty years
He had always been hard working
man and his reputation had always
been above reproach. He is survived
by his widow and two sons, both resi-
dents of Kenoshar

DUN'S REVIEW

New York, Jan. 15.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade tomor-
row will say:
Trade during the first half OF jan
uary shows expected progress. New
undertakings are encouraged by the
more settled policy regarding largo
financial and industrial affairs and
ample funds are available. Leading in
dustries generally increase working
forces and output and while In most
lines both continued below normal.
the gains established in the closing
months Of last year are fully main
tained. Disappointment is manifest in
the iron and steel markets. demand
lacking snap and requirements coming
out in hesltating way.
Better buying was expected owing to
cheap money and the fact that the en-
tire country is practically bare OF fin
ished goods. Little inquiry is received
from railroads. Some weakness is
noted in pig iron. Good inquiries are
received from pipe mills and one large
block is under negotiation. Business
in rails continued very quiet.
The domestic hide markets show
increased activity and prices for coun-
try hides have advanced sharply. For
eign hides are generally firm, with
sales increased.

RE SCUE
MADE
Nine Year Old Boy Crawls
Out of Ruins After
Ninteen Days.

Messina. Jan. ia thrilling scene
was effected this morning when, after
having been for nineteen days under
the ruins OF their home, three children
OF Nicol Minissoli, who emigrated to
America some time ago. were saved.
Francesca Minissoll, a boy aged nine,
managed to crawl out alone by bur-
rowing from the ruins and through
hole which seemed too narrow for
even a cat to pass through. He was
wounded and covered with blood.
Once in the open air he tainted. but
was taken TO hospital, where he was
soon revived and told his story. His
two sisters, who had been buried with
him. were then rescued by soldiers.
The boys story seemed almost In
credible. On the morning of the
earthquake, he said, he saw his mother
crushed to death under the beams OF
the ceiling in their home. Francesca
end his two sisters fed to the next
room but in few minutes they were
precipitated to the cellar They made
desperate efforts to get out but
iaiied In absolute darkness, holding
each others hands, implorIng the Ma
donna FOR protection, the children
gloped about the cellar and found a
few onions and some wine, water and
oil.
For sixteen days thus they lived in
perfect darkness. Then, when hope
almost had fled, and when his sisters
had resigned themselves to die, Fran
cesco saw in one corner of the prison
faint and uncertain gleam of light
Rushing to the spot he worked at the
debris and for three days kept at his
task until he forced his passage
through the opening he had made. His
sisters were too large to follow him
to safety.
When he had told his story, Fran.
cesco led a number of officers and sol
dierS to the spot and himself directed
the. work of rescuing his sisters, who
were carried out on stretchers to a
hospital.
