Much Vaunted Municipal Balls Where Lazarus Danced
with Mrs. Dives, Turn Out To Be Rather
Expensive for the Taxpayers

Socialists are certain of control Of the
city administration.
1t is important to note that Socialists
in other cities do not entirely agree with
the programme in Milwaukee.
Berger is a social refOrmer; he Is an
opportunist he is not a true Social DEM
ocrat," is the charge credited to William
Walling. the Chicago Socialist writer.
I'VE are doing things. We are doing
what we can as fast as we can, and are
not trying to impose ultimate socialism
upon Milwaukee until the people are
with u.s." is Berger's retort
1t is true that Berger is an oppor-
tunist He is not trying to do more
than the people of Milwaukee will stand
for" He is not trying to carry out i'm
mediately the ultimate plans for the
municipalization Of the public service
concerns, such as lighting and trolley
companies.
I'VE must move forward slowly. and
educate the people as we CO." is Bergers
idea.
Berger and Seidel are laying down for
Milwaukee's future:
Model workingmen's homes in the sub
urbs, with rapid transit TO the factory
districts.
A municipal ice plant. TO furnish free
ice to the poor, the cost to be made up
by the profit on sales to those who can
afford TO buy at present prices OF the
corporations.
A civic centre to cost $4,000 600, in
which will be placed all the public
buildings and a public railroad station,
with public terminals, so that any rail-
road which can approach near the city
can run trains to the passenger stations
and TO central freight yards. This civic
centre project includes the building Of

MIDNIGHT
I ACCIDENT.
Results In Very Serious In
jury To John VanCleye, Jr.,
Saturday Night.
THROWN FROM A BUGGY.
Fell Upon His Head And Has
Regained Consciousness For
Only a Short Interval.

John VanCleve, Jr., and Everett
Penlck. two young men, were thrown
from buggy late Saturday night
and VanCleve was dangerously in
jured and even now the exact extend
OF his injuries cannot be told. The
young men had gone to bed at Mr..
Jno. j. VanCleve's, two miles from
town on the GAINESVILLE pike, when
Mr.. VanCleve's son-in.law. Mack
Russell, arrived Oil a night train and
telephoned that he was about to
get horse and buggy and come out.
Young VanCleve told him not to do
that, but wait until he could come
to town after him. Penick, a stu
dent at Mclean College, was spend
ing the night with VanCleve and the
young men hitched up Mr.. Russel's
horse, which was at his father-in-
laws, and drove to town.
They are not clear as to how the
accident happened. When in front
of Mr.. j. 7. Wallis. they were sud-
denly aroused from the half-sleep
they bad dropped into by the bug
gy's hitting the curbing and Penick
was thrown headlong out of the We
hicle. but escaped with no injuries
| of consequence. This caused the
horse to run and he ran at high
speed square or more, when Van
Cleve was thrown out at the corner
of Virginia and 18th street. in front
of Mrs. Ledford's house. He struck
with such force upon his head that
he was rendered entirely uncon-
scious. Persons in the vicinity were
soon on the scene and Douglas Han
cock summoned an automobile and
took the young man to his home
near the city. On the way out he
had a convulsion and it was feared
that he would not live to get home.
Drs. Stone and Thomas were with
him. His pulse was beating only 81
when he reached home. Everything
possible was at once done. 1t was
found that no bones were broken, a
severe confusion on the forehead
being the trouble. The outer wall
of the skull is not fractured. The
young man regained consciousness
for short while Sunday morning,
but soon lapsed again into uncon-
sciousness and was delirious.
A surgeon from Evansville ar
rived Sunday and nothing is being
left undone to save the young mans
life.
He is a splendid young man, vide
ly popular and his friends in large
numbers called at his home Sunday
to express their sorrow and were
greatly gratifed to be told that
there was at least a chance for his
recovery. His condition was I'M
changed yesterday afternoon.

some baggage.
Mrs. West had one arm broken
and sustained some bad bruises about
the head and face. Mrs. Blanken-
ship, aside from some bruises, was
not hurt.
Blankenship was not hurt, but
was too excited to render much as
sistance to the ladies until persons
who saw the accident came to their
relief.
One man who saw the accident
says the machine was going about
40 miles an hour and cleared the
bridge, but left the road few yards
beyond and fell into a ditch five
feet deep. Blankenship says he was
not speeding when the accident oc.
CURED.
The child's body was buried at
the West buryine ground near Lay

The child's father arrived from
Evansville Sunday evening. Mrs.
West, who is a daughter of Nick
Blankenship, of Elkton. had been
visiting her father for two weeks
and was on her way to the home of
her husbands father, James West,
near Laytonsville.
The machine was Rio runabout
owned by the Blankenships.

they must think-for many bus
