ESCAPES TWO sH0Ts|LEADERs N DOUBT /
LaFollette Leaders Unable
to Tell What Course They
Will Take.
COUNTIES TO HOLD MEETINGS

There is developing a difference of
opinion among the supporters of Sena-
tor La Toilette throughout the state
over what should be done in regard to
presidential candidates. Locally they
are still at sea, with indications that a
part at least accept the theory that the
senator is out of the race and swing
to Roosevelt is advisable. The radical
La Toilette men, however, still cling
to the belief that Senator La Toilette is
not out of the presidential race and it
is the duty of his friends in the state
to see that he gets the delegation from
this state whether he gets any other
delegates or not.
ssIn the absence Of notice. said e.
j. Gross, president of the La Toilette
Republican club in Milwaukee county,
eve should assume that Senator La
Toilette is still in the race and we
ought to do everything in our power to
see that he gets the delegates from this
state and that they be men who will
stand by him.
Out in the state there appears to be
the same difference of opinion as to
what should be done. Speaking of the
situation and La Toilette IS radicalism,
the La Crosse Tribune said: Progress
sives of Wisconsin have, after years of
campaigning, become as radical as he
is and although they will stand alone
they will hold to their colors. There
fore, although present indications are
that La Toilette will get very few more
votes outside Wisconsin than he did in
1908, which was none, his friends in
this state will make their contest in
the primaries as aggressively as though
they had hopes of seeing him the presi-
Dental nominee.
Opposed to this comes an announce
ment from Manitowoc that the pro-
gressives in that county will hold
meeting in a few days where it will
probably be decided that in view of the
situation it will be better for the pro-
gressives to support Roosevelt.
From surface indications it looks to
politicians who have been watching de-
velopments that the time is near when
there will be something very like a
split.

Racine shoe manufacturer, and Miss
Anna Powers, Of Kansas City, Mo-,

of the bride and groom and he took
strenuous efforts to have the facts in

Immediately after the ceremony the

While travelling at good rate of
speed Chicago and Minneapolis train
No. of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul road, was derailed about 10
o'clock Sunday morning between Trues-
Gel and Somers about three miles
west Of Kenosha. No one was injured,
although bne coaches were crowded with
passengers, many of whom received Sc
we're bruises.
The train was in charge Of Conductor
Winfield passenger, lis Seventeenth
street, and Engineer Nicholas Kaiser,
503 Sycamore street, Milwaukee, both
of whom stuck to their posts and aided
in the rescue of passengers after the
train had left the rails
Among the Milwaukee passengers on
the train were William Kneller, $50
Grand avenue, and F. r. Ferdinand, 1856
Eighth street, both Of whom were bad
ly shaken up.
In speaking of the accident on Sun
day Mr.. Ferdinand said that the first
intimation that The passengers had Of
anything being wrong was when they
were thrown without warning from
their seats. This was quickly followed
by a succession of bumps and jerks as
the cars left the rails.
Before the train had come to a stop
/ succeeded in pulling the bell cord
three times, said Mr.. Ferdinand, "and
was then thrown to the floor of the car,
Everyone was in a mix-up, and as soon
as the frightened passengers could
gather their wits about them, realized
that the Grain had left the track.
g The train continued to bump along
the ties for a distance of about 700
feet before it could be brought to a
stop by the engineer. Every ear of the
five in the train left the rails. Only
two were overturned, they being the
baggage and mail cars. The day coaches
remained standing, although sliding
partially down an embankment. Bag
gage was scattered in every direction,
and it was miraculous that the men in
these cars were not injured.0
AS soon as the passengers and train
crew recovered from their confusion a
flagman was sent in each direction to
warn approaching trains. 1t was per-
haps an hour before any relief was re-
ceived by the passengers, who were
forced to stand about in the snow try
ing to recover their luggage.
A passenger coach from Corliss was
dispatched to the scene and the passen-
gers crowded into the single coach and
taken to Milwaukee at o. clock in the
afternoon.
Passengers who investigated the
track in the vicinity were of the opin-
ion that the wreck had been caused by
spreading rails, In some instances rails
were broken completely in two by hay
ing the heavy coaches pass over them
after they had been torn up, it is al
legged. Ties we're also cut in half.
Traffic at this point was delayed for
several hours before repairs could be
made to the track. A wrecking crew
was sent out from Milwaukee.

REVOLVER FAILS TO GET HIM
Dazik Had Been Accused of Selling
Stolen Leather and Made His Escape
When Chief Pulled the Box to Call
Patrol Wagon-Find No Trace Of Him

People of the north side had little
excitement all their own late Saturday
afternoon when Chief Of Police Owen
10 Hare opened fire on a prisoner who
made a desperate and successful dash
for liberty. The man was frank
Dazik and he had been arrested by
the chief on charge Of attempting to
| sell stolen goods. The chief picked
lup his man at north side store and
went with him to Patrol Box No. So
near the tannery. The chief opened
the box and pulled the lever to call
the patrol wagon and just as he turn
| ed Dark broke away from him and
started to run. He made straight for
the bark piles and the chief without
waiting for further instructions pulled
his revolver and opened fire, taking
two shots at the fleeing man without
hitting him. Dazik ran like deer end
although several members of the police
force were called out to aid the chief
| in his search for the man Dazik made
| good his escape and is still at large.
The police feel certain that he will be
captured as he had left all Of his per-
sonal effects at boarding house and
lit is thought certain that he will re-
turn for them.
For weeks the N. r. Allen Company
has been bothered with small rhefts
of leather and on Saturday a shoe deal
| er on Milwaukee avenue notified the
police Office that an effort had been
made to sell leather in the store. The
leather was offered at such low price
that the, man. at once reached the de-
cision that it had been stolen and he
called the police. He told. Dazik, who
offered to sell him the leather, that he
had no money in the store, but that if
he would return at five O'Clock he
Ewould- have the money for him. In
the meantime Chief O'Hare hurried to
the store and was in hiding when
| Dark arrived.
! He was just demanding the money
for The leather when O'Hare nabbed
him and placed him under arrest. Da-
izik made no objections to going with
the chief and he talked freely with
him. He stated that he had not taken
| the leather but that he had sought to
dispose Of it for friend. He admitted
THAT he did not know where his friend
had secured the leather. The man IS
actions was such that the chief was a
little off his guard when he pulled the
box and the fellow lost 10 time in
getting away. The chief declares that
Dark was fit for a marathon run with
no one barred.
The information secured from the
lprisoner who escaped may aid material
| ly in landing the other members of the
gang and it is expected that arrests
will be made before the day is over.
It is thought that Dazik is in hiding
somewhere in Kenosha.

WILL INVESTIGATE THE RATES
Even Older Members of Kenosha Camp
Declare They Will Remain in Order
for The Present Year and Probably
Will Continue Membership Later.


Kansas Woodmen have seeded from
the order of the Modern Woodmen Of
America and have laid plans for the
organization of national organiza-
tion. Members of the Kenosha Camp
have already received communications
from the new organization asking that
they take the lead in forming an or
ganization in Wisconsin in which the
fraternal idea of the Woodmen will be
advanced even if it becomes necessary
to drop the insurance provision of the
Woodmen. 1t is declared that the Kan
sas organization will take immediate
steps to organize similar organizations
in every state in the Union. It is ex-
Ipected that the question will come up
for discussion at the meeting of the To-
cal camp to be held this evening, but
it is foregone conclusion that Ken
osha members will be ready to stick to
the old flag until the new rates adopt
ed at the head camp session in Chi
cage have been fully tested.
We have been getting letters from
half dozen proposed organizations
protesting against the proposed rates, "
said one of the former officials of the
Kenosha camp this morning, "but there
is no desire on the part of Kenosha
Woodmen to lead any movement in Wis
consin against the head camp. The
members Of the Kenosha camp are 10y
al to the order and they feel that it is
up to them to wait until after the new
rates have been tested and found want
ing before they seek to disrupt the or
DER Some of the older members of tne
Kenosha camp are planning to with
draw, but some of these men realize
the fact that they have had unusually
cheap protection for some time and they
are willing to pay a reasonable rate in
the future. These men appreciate the
fact that even at the new rates the
Woodmen insurance will be cheaper
than they could secure it from any Of
the old line companies. Thus far there
has been no united protest against the
rates from Wisconsin Woodmen, but
they are being bombarded with letters
and circulars urging them to get into
the protesting game and there is little
doubt but that some of the smaller
camps, made up of older members, will
leave the order. These men who leave
to go into proposed new organizations
will meet the same fight within few
years and then they will be forced to
pay even greater rates for insurance
than are asked by the Woodmen to-
day.
The fact that there is whole year
in which to consider the new rates
promises to aid materially in keeping
members in the order. The =. of
the Kenosha camp are con. sS that
the change in the rates will not result
in more than hundred members de-
serting the Kenosha camp and for the
most part these deserters will be men
who have never taken an active inter
est in the work of the order. Fraternal
organizations in Kenosha are all watch
ing with great deal of interest the
developments in the Woodmen camp
and it is admitted that these orders are
