CALLS SOON TO Be ISSUED
Democrats are Anxious to Have State
Central Committee Elect the Nation
al Committeeman to Succeed the
Late Timothy E. Ryan.

Leaders of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties in Wisconsin are
planning for meetings to be held in
Milwaukee during state fair week and
at these meetings plans for the ma
tional and state campaigns of 1912
will be discussed and the names of
candidates for the various state Of
fices will be considered. Not only
will the leaders Of these two parties
attend the meetings but it is expected
that many of the rank and file will be
present and express themselves as to
campaign plans and candidates. The
leaders of the Progressive Republican
party in Wisconsin will also hold a
love feast which will be attended by
Senator La Toilette and he will then,
no doubt, announce. his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent. The regular Republicans, who
declare that they are progressives, but
not under the leadership Of La Fol
lette. will also hold g. meeting and will
no doubt endorse me administration
of President Taft, who will be a candi-
date to succeed himself.
The Democrats are awaiting a call
for a meeting of the state central
committee when national committee
man will be elected to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Timothy E..
Ryan of Waukesha. Joseph E. Da-
vies, Madison, chairman of the state
central committee, knows of the anx-
iety of the members of his party
and efforts have been made to have
him call meeting this week, but he
appears to be holding off. A call may
be issued the first Of the week for q
meeting of the committee to be held
in Milwaukee about Sept, IL, or on the
evening of Tuesday of state fair week.
IF the meeting is held on that night
there will be a larger attendance of
buO louh bAu 1llO VI bAO pdAby LII th
conference and great deal more can
be done in the way of organization
than if the meeting is held during
the day. The rank and file want to be
close by when democratic national
committeeman is elected.
Joseph e. Davies is candidate
for the position and there can be no
question OF that. His campaign
is being managed by his law partner,
John Awkward, twice nominated for
governor of this state. A great deal
of work is being done for Mr.. Da-
vies and also Charles III. Weisse Of
Sheboygan Falls, but there is much
quiet and effeetual work being done
for Daniel III. Grady of Portage, who
is recognized as one of the most cap
able men in tn estate for the position
of national Committeeman.

ASKS BIG DAMAGES
StanlSo Popoy Brings Suit for
$8,O0OAgainstSi mmonsCo.
for Personal Injuries
LAST SUIT UNDER OLD REGIME

What will probably be the last per-
sonal injury suit filed against any of
the Kenosha manufacturing concerns
was started in the circuit court here
this morning, the plaintiff being Stanko
Popov and the defendant The Simmons
Manufacturing company. The suit is
demand for damages to the amount
of $4,000.
In his complaint the plaintiff alleges
that he was formerly an employee of
the Simmons Manufacturing company
and that on the goth of September of
last year he was injured while operating
a milling machine. He asserts that he
had been i'll but was instructed to con-
tinue at work by the foreman in charge
of the department and that in his weak
ened condition he was unable to care
fully watch the machine and that his
left hand went against a band saw in
such a manner that four of the fingers
were severed at the knuckles. He
claims that he was permanently dis
abled by the accident. At the time of
the accident Popov was 33 years Of age
and was earning wages Of 1915 daily.
The case is noticed for trial at the
coming September term of the circuit
court.
There are now only a few personal
injury suits pending in the courts of
the county and as all of the larger
factories of the city have elected to
come under the workman's compensa-
tion act on the first of September it is
thought that for the present at least the
personal injury suits will be unknown
to courts of Kenosha county. Under
the law the claims for damages against
companies as made by workmen will be
adjusted by the state commission and
and it is thought that the workings of
the new law win be of great benefit
to both the workmen and their en-
ployers.
Notices have been posted in all the
larger factories that the law goes into
effect week from next Friday and
that the companies will seek to have
all claims for injuries adjusted under
the law after that date. Copies of the
law have been circulated generally
among the employed men of the city
anu it is said that even the foreigners
are now well acquainted with the pro-
visions Of the law and they know just
what steps to take in order to have
their claims properly taken care of.
It is thought that before the first of
the month every employer of labor in
the manufacturing world of Kenosha
will have accepted the provisions of
the law Kenosha will be the first city
in the state in which the provisions
of the law are uniformly accepted.

has been being married ever since she
was seventeen years of age. At the
time of her first marriage she was a

CLUTCH SLIPS. AUTO FALLS
Three Members OF the Party Jump Out
Of the Automobile and Escape With
Slight Bruises, but the Driver is
Pinned Under the Wfeci

Three Kenosha people, Alfred Kues
or, residing just west of the Chicago
and Milwaukee tracks on Prairie aven
ne; Thomas Thompson, of the Hotel
Richilieu, and young lady whose
name was not secured and Miss Sadie
Cole, who resides in the town of Somers
just north of the Wood road on the
Burlington road, had narrow escape
from death at the Thomas hill in Som
ers just before five o'clock Sunday af,
ternoon when the automobile turned
turtle rolling over an embankment
The two young women and Thompson
escaped without serious injury, but
Krueser was pinned under the wreck,
age Of the car and when, he was re,
leased nearly half an hour later it was
found that he was terribly bruised
However his injuries were not of a
dangerous nature. The members Of
the party were returning to Kenosha
from Racine and the car was one which
had been formerly owned by the late
John @. Wilson.
The car had gone part of the way
up the hill when the motor stopped.
Krueser applied his foot to the clutch
but it failed to respond and the car
began slipping back down the hill. The
driver of the car attempted to stop it
but failed and at the bottom of the
hill the car turned over and went into
the ditch. Mis- Cole jumped from the
car and was not badly injured and
Thompson and the other woman who
were in the rear seat were thrown out
of the car and down the embankment
but they fell free of the wreckage and
escaped with slight bruises, Thompson
ran to the home of Nicholas Thomas
a short distance from the scene of the
accident and later on rescue party
was organized and went to the assis-
tance Of Krueser.
The car had turned over completely
and Krueser shouting for help was pin
ned under the front seat. The steer
ing wheel of the car had borne the
weight of the machine and had pre-
vented the young man being crushed
to death. 1t required the services of
ten men to lift the car off of Krueser
but when he was finally released a half
hour after the accident he had no brok.
en- bones. He was placed in buggy
and taken to the nearest crossing of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric road
and the other members of the party
made the trip to the railroad on foot
Later Krueser was taken to his home
and physicians called to attend him.
The car was badly wrecked. With
the four wheels sticking in the air ii
will take steam engine to pull it out
of the deep ditch.
The escape of The members Of the
party seems to be almost miraculous
and they are still congratulating them
selves over the fact that they were not
all killed. A great crowd of people
from the surrounding territory gather
ed at the scene of the accident and
aided in the rescue of Krueser from
his peIilous condition.

BOUT PROVES TAME
Caponi and Schlossberg Go
10 Rounds of Tame Fight
ingatFirst MatineeHere
GOODMAN SHADES ROBERTS

fhll 0chl0Ssbefg, the champion pugl-
list of the United States navy, and Tony
Caponi, an italian of Chicago, who has
been on the short end of a lot of
ring battles, met in tame ten round
windup at the matinee boxing festival
held at Rambler Park on Saturday aft
ternoon. The Schlossberg- Caponi bout
had promised great sport, but the sport
failed to show and the men tapped each
other in such gentlemanly way that
it would have been q libel on the game
to give decision. There was not a
clean cut blow during the ten rounds
and the only blood flowed when Schloss-
berg in stalling and putting on his
fighting face bit his under lip. Sehloss-
berg showed flashes of fighting and once
got so rude as to drive Caponi to the
ropes, but he was only there for a
minute and Schlossberg lacked either
the science or the determination to car
ry out his advantage over the Italian.
Caponi showed his old experience Of
the ring and was an expert at stallirg
but at that if decision had been Civ
en- the crowd would have given it to
the sailor. Neither of the men had any
marks of the contest at the end of the
ten rounds and the fighting was hard
ly hard enough o give them a good
work out.
The semi windup between Danny
Goodman and Jack Roberts, both Of
Chicago was lot better go from the
standpoint of the sports about the
ringside. The two ightweights mixed
things and kept mixing from the start
to the finish of the eight rounds. The
bout was tough but at that it was in
teresting Goodman had the best of
the milling in the first four. rounds
but Roberts showed up strong in the
wind up. Roberts claimed that his
hand was broken in the sixth round
and if this was true he fought we'll
with broken hand Goodman did
most of the leading and Roberts
covered up and satisfied himself with
trying to land knock out swing.
Both boys looked good for ten rounds
more at the close of the bout and the
crowd gave the shade to Goodman.
Jack Andrews of Kenosha and Bar
ney Shaw of Chicago, met in a six
round preliminary and the Chicago
lad had big shade in the contest.
He conceded weight to Andrews and
then fought him off his feet. The ban.
tams gave good exhibition and it
was next to the Goodman Roberts
fight the best of the day. Kid Hertz
and Phil Harrison went in for a six
round go but Hertz had enough of the
punching of the Chicago boxer at the
end of the third round and he went
down and took the count.
From the standpoint Of the manag-
ers, the show was all that had been
expected and the promoters break even
on the afternooa About 400 fight
fans came up from Chicago and the
remainder of the 1900 about the ring
came from Kenosha.
There were a lot of fstic lotables
in the crowd and half dozen chal-
lenges to the winner were on hand. 1t
is probable that the success of the
matinee On Saturday will result in
other shows of similar nature being
staged here in the closing months of
the summer.
