FAIL TO INFORM THE NURSES
Man Taken to the Hospital on Alleged
Order of Physician and no Facts in
the Case Had Been Given the
Attendants.
(From MONDAYS Daily

John Sehlakes, aged 40 years, com
mitted suicide at the Kenosha hospital
at an early hour this morning hanging
himself to a bed post in one of the
wards. He used the cord attached to
a call bell to take his life.
Schlakes resided with his wife and
one child at Ais Middle street and he
had been taken to the hospital at nine
o clock Sunday evening. At the time
he was taken to the hospital he was
known to be demented, but no word
of this was given to the nurses in
charge. Schlakes reached the hospital
in an ambulance and it was stated to
the matron in charge that he was a
patient of one of the well known physi.
clans of the city and that he would
call and attend him within short time.
The man was placed in one of the wards
and when the nurse saw him at three
O'Clock this morning he was sleeping
and seemed to be getting along all
right. Two hours later he was, found
dead in the bed. He had hung the bell
cord about the post of the bed and
then had slid down into the bed until
the cord was drawn tight enough to
choke him.
Evidently there had been no struggle
with death as three other patients in
the same ward were not awakened dur
ing the morning hours and they did not
know of the tragedy that had been en-
acted until after the body was found
and removed to the Mischler and Stan
ton morgue.
Mrs. Moore, the superintendent of the
hospital when seen said: "We had no
reason to believe that the man was not
mentally all right. He did not seem
to be very i'll when he reached the hos
pital and in fact he walked to the
elevator. Once during the night he said
to one of the nurses that the devil
was after him but he gave no reason
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1911-07-06

to suspect that he meditated suicide.
The nurse in charge is in no way to
blame for the trouble. The man came
to the hospital supposedly at the direc-
ton of physician, but later we learn
ed that the physician had nothing to do
with the case and in fact had never
heard of the man being taken to the
hospital
It seems that Schlakes had ATTEMPTED
to hang himself with rosary. This
was found in the bed broken in several
places and it is thought that he tied
it to the post and attempted to choke
himself before he found the more sue
cessful plan Of using the rope of the
call bell.
Coroner Stanton stated that he did
mot regard it necessary to hold an in
quest over the remains as there was
no doubt as to the manner of the man s
death.
Schlakes was a Russian and had liv,
ed in Kenosha for several years. Ar
rangements for the funeral have not as
yet been made.

the chief incentive to haste having been
removed by the action of the legisla-
ture in increasing the number of such
schools which may receive aid from The
state it is probable that many of the
supervisors will be in no hurry to make
final decision in the matter There
is unquestionably considerable senti-
ment in favor of the establishment Of
such a school in this county especially
in the rural districts and the county
superintendent of schools is one of the
strongest advocates of the school, but
whether or not this sentiment is strong
enough to force the county board to
act at the next session is problematical.
The project for a county sanitorium
for the care of advanced cases of tub
erculosis is also operating to delay ac-
Ition on the teachers training school
proposition. IF the county cannot af-
ford both at once many Of the super
visors favor building the sanitorium
first.

able field of work for these students
Inc school would open new and profit
ana at the same time would give our
own school the great benefits received
from having trained teachers in every
district school in the county. The first
cost OF opening the school would have
to be paid by the county, but I feel
that this first cost would not exceed
s1o,o0o.',
Suggestion has been made to mem
bers OF the county board that the build
iEgs owned by the Kenosha Hospital
association be purchased for this pur-
pose.
1t IS certain that these buildings
could be secured at a minimum price
and the location is one of the best that
could be secured. With alterations
costing couple of thousand dollars
the buildings could be made very com.
Portable for use as training school.
There now seems to be little reason
to believe that the county solons will
take up the school matter before the
regular meeting of the board in No
vember. County Superintendent Ker-
win had his data all ready to present
to the board this morning and between
now and the November session he will
get this in such shape that he hopes
that it will be a powerful argument in
favor of the school.

HIT BY FAST TRAIN.
Well Known. Pleasant Prairie Man has
Narrow Escape from Death.

wen Known Pleasant Pra1rle Man mas
Marrow Escape from Death.
Fred Beaver, aged 35 years, a well
known farmer living near the state line
in the town of Pleasant Prairie, had a
narrow escape from death Monday
just before nine clock when the wagon
in which he was riding was struck by
a fast south bound train on the Chicago
and Northwestern railway at the milk
station just north of the state line
Beaver was on his way to the milk plat
form and had all but cleared the track
when the train running at q high rate
Of speed struck the wagon. He was
thrown into the ditch at the side of
the railway tracks. It is regarded as
miraculous that he escaped death. The
injured man was brought to Kenosha
on a special train and taken to the Ke-
nosha hospital. An examination show
ed that the left arm had been broken
and he had suffered a bad wrench of
the back. It is not thought that the
injuries will prove fatal. The team of
horses driven by Beaver escaped I'M
injured.

COUNTY FAVORS THE SCHOOL
Old Hospital Buildings Suggested as
the Place for the Opening Of the
Proposed School for Teachers Of the
County.


County Superintendent of Schools
John J. Kerwin of Silver Lake, came
to Kenosha this morning hoping against
hope that there would be a special
meeting Of the county board to consid-
er the question of building the propos-
ed training school for teachers and he
was disappointed. The county super
intendent feels that the people Of the
county will make great mistake Ii
they allow this chance to secure train
ing school with state aid slip away.
"The sentiment of the. people in the
towns of the county is almost unanl-
nous in favor of the opening Of the
training school for teachers and I feel
deeply the necessity of such a school, =
said Superintendent Kerwin. CAT the
present time we are employing seventy
seven teachers in the county and these
teachers for the most part are forced
to get their experience at the cost of
the children. They go out of the high
school to the rural schools and it nat
urally takes time to train these young
women so that they can render their
best service to the schools of the
county. Kenosha county should stand
for this advance in methods especially
when it is understood that two.t thirds
Iof the cost of maintaining the school
will be paid by the state. The cost of
annual maintenance Of the school would
be in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
all of this that would be paid by the
county would be $500 or less In fact
[ feel certain that an appropriation of
$500 would take care of the expense
to be borne by the county. We are
forced at the present time to import
teachers from other counties On ac-
count of the fact that it is impossible
to fill the schools from our own people.
There are scores and / may say humid
reds of young men and women in this
county who would like to go into the
schools if they had the proper training.

OLD TRAINER DIES HERE.
w. Winner for Many Years Aid of G..
Hagenbeck Succumbs to Pneumonia.

William il. Winner, aged sc years
Of age and famous as an animal trainer,
died at the Kenosha hospital Friday
evening after few days illness with
pneumonia. Winner came to Kenosha
with the Wallace agenbeck circus and
was taken i'll while here. He was a
great favorite among circus men and
every possible care was given him dur
ing his short illness. The deceased was
born lat Lancaster, Ohio, and as a
young man was associated with Carl
Hagen beck the famous animal trainer.
He was in charge of the great display
which Hagenbeck had at the World s
Columbian Exposition in Chicago in
1898 and since that time had been on
the road with the Hagenbeck show.
Winner was credited with being a wiz
ard in the handling of wild animals
and it is claimed that it was largely
through his work in this and other
countries that the great Hagenbeck
collections was brought together. He
was known in all parts of the world
as a collector of animals. So far as Is
known Winner had never been married.
His brother is banker at Lancaster,
Ohio, and the remains will be taken to
that city for interment. Winner left
comfortable fortune in real estate
and personal property. This is on de-
post at Peru, Ind. B. Z. Wallace, head
of the big circus notified the local of
icials today that every provision would
be made to have the remains of the
old trainer sent to the old home for
burial.

MAY INCREASE RATE
Wisconsin People Watching
Fight on Two Cent Rail-
way Faresin 0therStates
RAILWAYS WILL TEST LAWS

There is a possibility that the fam
Gus two cent railroad fare in Wiseon-
sin is doomed. In Minnesota the rail
roads are going to put three cent fare
into operation July 1, as a result of the
federal court decision, several weeks
ago, declaring the 2 cent rate unfair
to the railroads.
Further developments are apt to be
an increase, by July 20, in interstate
traffic passenger fares, which originate
in Minnesota and an attempt by the
Northern Pacific, at least, to have the
fares on its lines in Wisconsin and
North Dakota raised to cents from 2
cents per mile.
An attack on the validity OF the
cent fare laws of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois is promised by Central Pas
senger association lines.
Northern Pacific officials intend to
show in Wisconsin that if the cent
fare was an injustice in Minnesota
the same situation should obtain in
Wisconsin, where conditions are SINH
lar to those of the Gopher state.
Several railroads in the middle west
are now having their rate clerks pre-
pare statistics to show the effects on
their purses of the cent fares. Re-
sort to the courts, rather than to rail
road commissions, is the probable line
of action to be taken by the roads.
One railroad man then quotes a Sec
ton of the Minnesota decision which
says: ''But the question whether fares
and rates which have been put in op-
Grafton confscate the property of the
companies, in violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States, is judicial
and not legislative question, and
when that issue is presented the rules
of law, of equity and of practice ap-
plicable to the determination of judicial
questions, have effect.''
What the rate for interstate business
will be is not yet determined but 215
and cents a mile are the figures men
toned here. The increase would mean
that a passenger starting on a trip in
Minnesota to point in a 9 cent fare
state or on trip taking him across
such state would have to pay more
than the rate fixed by the statutes Of
these commonwealth.

The fear Of the advocates of county
training school for teachers that the
county will not be able to secure a
school if the matter was put over to
the November meeting of the county
board of supervisors was dissipated by
the action Of the Legislature which has
passed a bill increasing the number of
these schools in the state by thirty. 1t
is evident that the legislature is ready
to give state aid to as many of these
schools as the counties care to provide
accommodations for and the action of
the legislature has had the effect of
lessening the chances of securing one
of these schools in this county in the
immediate future. The supervisors
have shown that they wish to test the
sentiment of the taxpayers of the
county very carefully before making
any appro priation for such school and

It may be doing them an injustice
10 suspect that the recent burglaries in
he county are the work Of the tramps,
but it will do no harm to break up the
camps which have been established fol
some weeks i'll the same places and
drive the inmates out of the county for
time anyway. If there is any deli
cacy about charging them with the
crimes which have been so numerous
of late the officials can put their ex-
pulsion on the grounds that they are
public nuisance.
