Police Commissioner Cropsey presiding
as Caliph at the trials OF divers police
men to-day remarked that IL the shade
OF Ananias happened to stroll into

in a green flame of envy.
In the case OF Sergt. Daniel T. Con-
ner OF the Bronx Park station, Mr..
Cropsey corrugated the verb "to'lie" in
all It's moods and lenses. Conner was
charged with ordering the arrest OF a
man because he stopped a few minutes
on an ]" station stairway to write
down the address OF a friend. Conner
had prepared an elaborate defense of
himself. denying this and denying that
and denying the other thing. When he
had finished Mr.. Cropsey let ny:

TO his home on Durkee avenue.
Blood was flowing freely from one of
his ears when he was picked up and
conditions indicated that the ear drum
had been ruptured by the force of the
fall. After he had been removed to
his lone he suffered from internal
hemorrhages during the evening and was
in intense pain. Physicians fear that
the force of the fall was so great that
it may have caused injury to the lungs
which may later bring on pneumonia.
There was no sign of any conclusion of
the brain during the night or this morn
ing and Mr.. Mailer was entirely in
possession of his senses today. His
head was terribly bruised and when
carried to the Office it was feared that
the fall had resulted in fracture of
the skull
The prominence of Mr.. Mailer in the
manufacturing world and among the
people of the city caused deep anxiety
over his accident Monday night and
today.

STATE FAIR AUTO SHOW.
Models of 1912 Cars Will be Shown in
Advance of Big Society Event.

One departure that will mark the
change in policy of the management of
the Wisconsin State Fair will be the
Auto Show. T. A. Cannon, the Milwau
kee member of the board, has been as
signed to the task of organizing show
of 1912 models of every make Of pleas
ure and commercial vehicle sold in Wis
consin. One half Of the new machin-
cry building has been turned over to
the auto show department and this will
be deliberately decorated along lines in
vogue at the Chicago and Milwaukee
auto shows. Supt. Cannon has given
over one half of the space allotted to
the motor vehicle exposition to the
manufacturers of commercial trucks
and light delivery wagons. The other
half Of the floor space in the new con
crete machinery building, which is 200
by $50 feet, will house the classy 1912
pleasure vehicle show, and about fifty
makes Of gasoline and electric cars will
be shown, some manufacturers exhibit
ing as many as six models. The auto
show will be free and several manu-
facturers have ordered thousands of
souvenirs to give visitors.

FALLS ELEVEN FEET TO FLOOR
Remains Unconscious for More Than
an Hour and the Conditions Indicate
Severe Internal Injuries-No Bones
Broken.

Robert E. Mailer, manager of the
Malt House of the NJ. H. Petit Malt
ing company, met with very serious IN
juries at the plant of the company just
after three O'Clock Monday afternoon
and he is now at his home on Durkee
avenue in a serious condition and 1T
will be several days before the physl-
clans in attendance will be able to fore
cast the result of his injuries. 1t is
not, however, thought that the injuries
will prove fatal. Mr.. Mailer fell eleven
feet from the top of a heater boiler
striking ON his head and shoulders and
in such a manner as to receive severe
internal injuries. He suffered from
hemorrhages from the ears and from ex-
IRENE pains in the chest. An examina-
ton made Monday evening revealed
the fact that no bones had been broken
in the fall, but portions of the chest
were very seriously bruised and the re-

acute pain. At the Mailer home this
morning it was stated that Mr.. Mailer
had spent bad night but later in the
day he showed Improvement.
The accident occurred in the boiler
room of the Petit plant. Mr.. Mailer
and the engineer Of the plant were en-
gagged in removing heavy iron pipe
from the top of the boiler and Mr..
Mailer had climbed up on top of the
boiler to aid in the work. He had I'M
screwed the pipe and had evidently I'M
derestimated the weight of it. When
the pipe was freed from it's place it was
so heavy that it caused Mr.. Mailer to
lose his balance and he fell with the
pipe to the brick floor below striking
on his head and shoulders. He was
picked up unconscious and removed to
the office of the plant and DR.. P. P. M.
Jorgenson was called to attend him. He
remained unconscious for more than an
hour and when he regained conscious
ness he was removed in an ambulance

Efforts Being Made to Get Some Trace
of Man Who Disappeared From Here.
Efforts are being made to find some
trace of Fred Carlson, 80 years of age
and a former Chicago man, who has
been missing for more than month.
Carlson came to Kenosha on the after
noon of Decoration Day and was work
ing at one of the factories in the city
and making his home at a boarding
house on North Chicago street. He has
a wife and two children in Chicago
and on July 3rd he left Kenosha with
view of going to Chicago to spend
the holiday with them This was the
last seen of him. Two days later his
wife received money order of $15
which had been issued at the Kenosha
postofice. Carlson left his clothes and
other personal effects in Kenosha and
has not called for them. The wife
seems to be of the opinion that he has
met with foul play. Carlson when he
left Kenosha gave no word to any of
his friends here as to his plans for the
future.

being used One ssale varied three
ounces from the standard weight and
liquid measures were common IN grec-
cry stores "The merchants will like
this law when it is in operation said
Inspector Downing. "for in several OF
the stores I visited the merchants
found that they were cheating them
selves by the use of measures not suit
ed. In one place I found a man was
losing two pounds of potatoes for every
peck he sold and these two pounds
probably represented the profits. The
state department is planning for a re
adjustment of this work in the state
under the new law and / am now gong
to Chicago to study the methods used
in the enforcement of the laws IN that
city. Later on the department will
send men to Kenosha to make test
Of weights and measures in the city
not with the purpose of starting prose
BUTTONS at this time, but with a view
of showing the common council Just
what the conditions are in Kenosha. I
believe that such a showing would con-
vince the officials of the necessity of
city sealer for Kenosha. In most cities
Of the state the officials are cheerfully
complying with the suggestions of the
state department and l feel convinced
that Kenosha will not be backward I'M
aiding in the enforcement of the new
law. Just at the present time the law
is not being rigidly enforced but we
hope to have this department in work
ing order within a very few days"
The city council has for some time
considered the adyisability of having
a city sealer and it is probable that
at an early meeting Of the council some
formal action will be taken.

WANTS COUNCIL TO ACT SOON
Council is Urged to Name City Sealer
Of Weights and Measures Under the
New Law Wisconsin Statute to Cor
rect Conditions.

Frederick T. Downing Of Madison,
state inspector of weights and meas
ures, working under the direction of
the wisconsin State Dairy and Food
commission, came to Kenosha this
morning to make a casual examination
OF weights and measures in the city
and incidentally to confer with city
officials and members Of the common
council with a view of securing the
naming Of sealer of weights Jand
measures for the city.
Under the new Wisconsin law the old
provision for the county treasurer act
ing as county sealer of weights and
measures is repealed and the state de-
partment will ask the council of Ke-
nosha to act at its earliest possible
convenience to name man who will
have charge of this work. The office
is not to be a political office for under
the law the "city sealer'' must be
named from list of candidates furh-
lshed to the city by the state civil
service commission. The city council
has the right to fix the compensation
for the official and he is to be paid
from the regular funds of the city.
Every sort Of weight or a measure
must be tested by the new officials and
1t IS declared that in every city Of the
state false weights and falser measures
are being used. The new law provides
the manner in which food products arc
to be sold and the measures that are
to be used in selling them. In a Keno
sha store this morning the Inspector
found that beans were being sold by the
liquid quart whereas the state law
provides that they be sold by dry meas
ure. This makes a difference of about
one-third in actual value received by
tne purchase
Inspector Downing dropped into four
places III Kenosha this morning and in
all Of them he found false measures
