Carl Nelson Has Narrow Es-
cape From Death Sunday
Afternoon ON Market St.
MAYORS AUTO IN ACCIDENT

Carl Nelson aged 8 years residing
on North Jay street had a remarkably
narrow escap5 from serious injury at
the corner Of Chicago street and Mar
ket Square just after one O'Clock Sun
day afternoon when he was run down
by taxi-cab owned by the Kent Motor
Car company. Fortunately the boy es-
capped with a few bad bruises, notwith--
standing the fact that one of the
wheels Of the light taxi passed over
one of his lower limbs. Mayor Scholey
and Chief Of the Fire Department Hen
ny Isermann were passengers in the
automobile at the time the Nelson boy
was run over and il was being driven
by Milton Kent. The automobile was
coming east on Market street and a
car Of the Kenosha Electric Railway
company was coming from the east.
Three boys, one of them Nelson were
playing in the street near the county
Jail. Kent saw the danger OF the boys
and blew the horn on the automobile
and two of the boys ran to the side of the
street in front Of the street car. Young
Nelson seemed not to appreciate his
danger and when the car came up to
the point where it passed The automo-
bile he jumped directly in front of the
automobile He was struck by the radi-
ator Of the automobile and thrown to
the pavement and one of the wheels
passed over his left, leg.
The automobile was running very slow
when it struck the boy, as Kent made
a vigorous effort to prevent his being
struck. The boy was placed in the
taxi-cab and hurried to the office of
Dr. Pugh who found no bones broken
and later he was taken home. He was
so badly bruised that he will probably
be laid up for several days as re-
suit Of the accident.

Solomon Moss, Supt. Marshall
Mattress Company Died
Sunday Morning
FAMOUS IN SECRET SERVICE

| Solomon Moss, aged So years, general
superintendent of the plant Of the Mar
shall Ventilated Mattress Company and
well known among manufacturers Of
the city died at Hotel Kenosha Sunday
morning after short illness from
pneumonia. Mr.. Moss had been able
to be at his office until Wednesday
when he was taken with a hard cold
which rapidly developed into pneu-
nlonia and the end came very sudden
ly on Sunday morning. Col. Leopold
Moss, president of the company came
to Kenosha from Chicago on Sunday
and took charge of the remains of his
brother and after a short service this
afternoon they were shipped to Los
Angeles, Cal. where they will be laid
! at rest in the Moss family plat.
The death of Mr.. Moss ended note
worthy career and much of the life of
the deceased had been given in service
for the government. He was widely
known among officials of the govern.
ment as a member of the secret service.
He entered the employ of the govern
ment at Philadelphia more than thirty
years ago and remained in the service
for more than twenty years when he
was retired on a pension. Mr.. Moss was
connected with the mint at Philadel-
phia during much of his service for
the government and was known as
"'The Counterfeit Man.
In his long service for the govern
ment he became an. expert in the arrest
and prosecution of counterfeiters and
he had part in the breaking up of
many Of the most famous gangs Of
men engaged in this work It is said
that he knew nearly all of the smooth
counterfeiters and his work along this
line took him to all parts of the United
States. He was man of genial dis
position and his long connection with
the secret service had given him fund
Of incidents which were Of greatest
interest. After his retirement five
years ago he lived in Philadelphia until
he was called West in January Of this
year to take the position with his
brother at the head of the Kenosha
manufacturing concern.
Since coming to Kenosha he had
made his home at the Hotel Kenosha.

Manufacturers Invited to At
tend Conference ON Indus
trial Insurance Question
WILL DISCUSS TENTATIVE BILLS

Kenosha manufacturers are to be
given chance to give their views
on the proposed legislation to provide
plan of industrial insurance in the
state and all of the leading manufac-
turers of the city have today received
invitations to attend conference to be
held under the auspices of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
of Milwaukee On Oct. 20 at which time
the matter will be taken up and dis
cussed. More than 1000 invitations
have been sent out to manufacturers in
different parts of the state and it is
expected that every one of the big in
dustrial plants in Kenosha will be rep
resented at the meeting. The meeting
is planned for the purpose of getting
the views of the men most vitality in
terested in this legislation and it is
expected that all the members of The
legislative committee will be on hand to
take part in the discussion and defend
the bills that they have prepared for
passage at the coming session of the
legislature. 1t is probable that the
Manufacturers Association Of Kenosha
will have a meeting before the meeting
in Milwaukee and that President Viii
liam L. Yule will be named to represent
the Kenosha manufacturers Mr.. Yule
has given this question wide study and
will undoubtedly have some pertinent
suggestions to make in regard to the
proposed legislation.
Assurance has been received that a
large and representative delegation will
attend, and that members will be pre-
pared to express the opinion Of manu-
facturers on the industrial insurance
problem, with special reference to con
ditions in Wisconsin where the subject
is now under investigation by special
committee of the legislature. The final
report Of the special legislative com
mittee will be largely influential in de-
termining legislative action at tine
forthcoming session.
Since the appointment of the special
legislative committee several tentative
bills have been drawn and withdrawn,
all providing for an industrial system
in Wisconsin. With few exceptions the
manufacturers of the state have urged
the adoption of an adequate industrial
insurance measure, but it is under
stood that numerous objections made
by both employees to the bills SO far
submitted by the special gislative
committee, have proven that the tenta-
tive measures advanced have failed
adequately to meet the demands of
those who will be most seriously af-
fected.

CLOSED SEASON SATURDAY.
Local Fishing Tugs Getting Ready to
Lay Up For Closed Season Saturday.

Owners of fishing tugs in the Kenosha
harbor are arranging for the closed
season and fresh fish IN Kenosha mar
kets will have to be shipped in from
other cities during the next few weeks.
On Saturday, October 10, the season
for fishing trout on Lake Michigan
closes and last until November Is, and
the many boats must remain idle or
seek other waters of adjoining states.
With the approach of the closed season
for commercial fishing in the state,
the cry for uniform season for the
waters of all states on the great lakes
is heard. It is contended that only by
such law can the fish supply for fu-
ture years be assured.
Until a year ago most of the tugs
proceeded to Illinois waters, but with
changes made in The laws of that state,
the boats have sought Michigan and
Indiana.
Heavy license and dock charges are
faced by the tugs in these away-from-
home trips, and catch of 1000 pounds
of trout day is necessary to clear ex-
penses.
at Grand Haven, Mich, the license
costs non-resiaents 5000, while the dock
charges are heavy. Much lighter
charges are made at Michigan City,
Ind, but the waters there are shallow,
resulting in heavy seas when the wind
is blowing and SO many tugs seeking
those waters find the fishing unproft-
able.
After the close Of the season one or
two of the boats will be engaged by
the state authorities for the purpose of
catching trout for the spawn and these
crafts viii realize large profits, for the
fish caught go to them.

NO CLUE TO GUILTY PARTIES
Ask Runge in Regard to Saloon Open
ing and Then Proceed to Beat and
Rob Him. Police Get Late Report of
Daring Crime

Frank Runge, a driver employed by
the Kenosha Pure Spring Water Com
pany was the victim of a daring hold
up on Monday morning but the facts
in the case did not reach the police
until today and as the men who held
up Runge had more than days start
on the police there is little reason to
suspect that they will be captured.
THE men secured a gold watch and $1.20
in money, from Runge and he is not able
to give any description of them. The
hold up took place on Milwaukee avenue
just few feet north of the store Of
N. J. Werner.
Runge had left his home on the
North side just after 4our clock and
was on his way to the barns of the
company when the robbery took place.
He was hurrying along the street and
when he got in front of the saloon
just south of the Union Laundry he
noticed couple of men standing along
the sidewalk. 1t was very dark at the
time and he paid little attention to
the two fellows and started to pass
them when one Of them stepped out from
under the tree and stopping Runge
said; q say young fellow what time
does that saloon open?' Runge declar-
ed that he die not know anything about
the saloons as he was a driver of a
water wagon and with this he turned
out and started to pass the fellow but
the man was. too quick for him and
caught him about the shoulders. The
grasp of the man was a powerful one
and the other man came to his help.
Runge attempted to break away from
the fellow but he was promptly choked
and thrown to the ground and the men
made a hurried search Of his pockets.
The first thing they took was the gold
watch and chain. Runge sought to
protest and for his trouble was slugged
in the jaw. The men made a sys-
tematic search of Runge's pockets tax
ing everything of value and then ran
away. Runge saw the men walk north
along Milwaukee avenue and they
seemed to have no fear of pursuit.
Runge was SO mortified at being held
up that he made no report to the pc.
lice of the case on Monday but told the
facts to men employed with him and in
this way the facts in the case became
public. The police are looking for sus7
pected parties but thus far they have
not been able to secure any clew that
will aid them materially in the search.
Tt is thought probable that the crime
was committed by some men who make
practice of hanging around the sa-
looms in this neighborhood and it is
thought that the men saw this chance
to get a little booty and risked the
chance of capture to carry out the
crime.
The daring with which the men work
ed, however, would indicate that this
was not the first time that they had
been mixed up in this sort of crime.

GIVES FREEDOM FOR FRIEND.
Oscar Hanks Offers His Money fol-
Friend S Fine Wants to go to Jail


Damon and Pytlias whose friendship
is famous in song and story to such an
extent that great ftsternal organiga-
ZION mas oeen ount about the sur
ring story of their lives, had nothing
on Oscar Hanks and Frank Powers, a
couple Of Winthrop Harbor well dig
gers who were arraigned in the NUM-
eipal eourt>this morning and sentenced
to pay fines aggregating $13.44 on
charges of intoxieatioa
The two men were comrades. Hanks
had a ten dollar bill, Powers did not
have ten cent piece, but when the
fines were assessed Hanks slipped Pow
ers his ten dollar bill and told him to
pay his fine and that he would go over
to the Jail for fifteen days and work
out his own fine. The court refused to
see such personal negation go unreward-
ed and he allowed Damon Hanks and
Pythias Powers to go out with an Of
ticer and hunt up another one of their
friends who would put up the remainder
of the fine. "Powers is a friend of
mine and | would rather go to Jail than
see him lose his liberty" was the way
Hanks put it. The knights of Hanks .
will now be organized at Winthrop
Harbor in commemoration of his act
of friendship.
