sity, Meets With Severe Injury,

Edison Hardy, well known Keaosha

one of the preliminary skirmishes he
had the muscles of his back strained in
such manner that it brought par
tia paralysis. For some time it was
feared that the injury might incapael-
tate him for a long time, but he IS now
able to be about his college work again,
but his physicians have declared that
he will not be able to have part IN any
athletic sports for a year at least.
Hardy was one of the best athletes
ever in Kenosha and his injury is a
hard blow for the Methodist school at
Appleton. He was to have been lead
err in the basketball team, but he viii
have to give up the sport entirely. he
is recovering slowly from the effects of
his injury and the physicians believe
that his ultimate recovery will be
complete.

Kenosha County People who
hold Bonds Must Pay Fed
eral Income Tax this year
TO Be PAID AFTER NOV. lST.
If you own bonds.
And live in Kenosha.

And live in Kenosha.
You will be the first Of the local citi-
zens of wealth who will be asked to
pay over your money under the new
income tax called for under the pres
ent United States act.
All bond interest coupons due on
November / will have to pay the
income tax.
When the bondholder presents his
coupon to the paying teller at the bank
on or after that date the teller will de-
duct one per cent of the interest pay
ment, and the amount so deducted will
be sent to the collector of internal
revenue by the corporation which is
sued the bonds. In paying the cou-
pom, minus the tax, the bank merely
acts as the agent of the corporation,
which is liable for the tax.
The bank will make the deduction re-
gardness of whether Che total income
Of the bondholder falls below the $4,000
exemption. If the bondholder's in
come is under the sum exempted he
can recover the amount of the tax by
filing claim for abatement with the
commissioner of internal revenue.
On coupons of state, municipal, and
United States government bonds no de-
duction will be made for income tax,
for such bonds are tax exempt. Nor
will the banks make deduction from
the coupons of bonds which have been
issued under an agreement that the in
terest will be paid without deduction
for any tax. On such bonds the debtor
corporation does not have to pay any
tax on the interest, but must make a
report to the collector, showing to
whom the interest has been paid, so
that the official will have evidence
on which to collect the tax from the
b0ndholder
Kenosha bankers are awaiting de-
tailed instructions from the treasury
department in regard to the part which
they are expected to perform in the
collection of the income tax
Although the tax is payable begin
ming November l, on interest on bonds

be collectable on net incomes accruing

RIDER CLAIMS IT AN ACCIDENT
Alex Miller, Rider Of the Motor Cycle,
is Held by Police and He Declares
That Man Who Met Death Stepped
Directly in Front of the Motor Cycle.

Victor Hikowitz, fftytwo years of
age, residing at 612 Elizabeth street,
died at the Kenosha hospital at an
early hour this morning as a result of
injuries received late Sunday afternoon
when he was run down by motorcycle
on the Racine road, half mile north
of the city limits. Alexander Miller,
the rider Of the motorcycle, is in Jail
pending an inquiry into the death of
Hikowitz on the part of the coroner and
the district attorney The man declar-
ed to the police that the injury of the
man was entirely accidental, but the
friends Of the dead man insist that
Miller did not use sufficient care in
driving his machine.
Hikowltz and his wife with friend
had walked out into the country to
visit with friends along the Racine
road on Sunday afternoon and they
were on their way back to the city
when the accident occurred. Hikowitz
was walking near the edge Of the con-
crete road and had his arm through
the arm of his friend. The motorcycle
came from the north and struck the
man squarely in the back and with
such force that he was hurled into the
air. He fell to the pavement, his head
striking the edge of the pavement.
AS soon as possible an ambulance was
called and the injured man was remov-
ed 10 the Kenosha hospital and rushed
to the operating room. DR.. George E.
Thompson and DR.. NJ. A. Bernstein
were in charge Of the case and they
found that in addition to the injuries
in the head Hikowitz had suffered
severe internal injuries. 1t is said that
the man was conscious for short time
after the accident, but he became I'M
conscious before he reached the hospi-
tai and he did not regain consciousness.

OLD PROBLEMS BOB UP AGAIN
soard to be Forced Into Consideration
of Plan for County tuberculosis Hos
pital and Rural Members Will Seek
to Secure Training School

County Clerk Jones is getting ready
for the annual November session of the
county board which will be called by
Chairman John T. Yule one month from
tomorrow and it is expected that the
session will be one of the longest and
most important in the history of the
county. The committees Of the board
have all been named and it is expected
that they will be ready for work on the
opening day of the session. The Coun-
ty Clerk is serving notice on all people
having claims against the county that
these claims must be filed with him on
or before the first day of November if
they are to be acted on by the board
at the coming session. 1t is understood
that this rule will be followed to the
letter this year and people who fail to
file claims in time will have to wait
until the January meeting of the board
to have the claim passed on and paid
A lot of important matters are piling
up for the consideration of the board
Next year will be a record breaking
year for the building of permanent
highways in the county and the board
will have plenty of work to do in get
ting out the details for this highway
improvement. Then there will be the
old question of the Tuberculosis hospi-
tai This matter is certain to come be-
fore the board and it is thought that
the members Of the board will see the
wisdom Of providing an institution to
provide for the care of patients in this
county The county has tried the plan
of sending the patients to sanitariums
in other counties and it has been found
to be a decidedly expensive one. These
figures are being tabulated by members
Of the board so that it will be possible
to show Just what the cost of caring for
these patients is. Figures on the cost
of building and maintaining hospitals
in other counties will also be ready for
the inspection of the board.
The county at the last session of the
board set aside an appropriation of
$4,000 for the building of hospital
and this is now in the general fund.
Of course this problem will bring up
the twin problem of the building of a
training school for teachers. The legis-
lature has made changes in the law so
that all counties are assured state aid
for such schools regardless of the num-
Der established. 1t is expected that
there win be a considerable increase in
the state and county tax levy this year.
The state tax promises to be record
one and with a large increase in the
amount to be raised by the county for
rural highways it is certain that the
county tax this year will be greatly in
excess of the amount levied last year.

Kenosha High School Foot
ball Team Loses Game to
Racine College 46 to 6.
sCHMITz MEETS INJURY

The Kenosha high school football
team met crushing defeat at Racine
on Saturday afternoon when the eleven
of the Racine College defeated the To-
Gals by a score of 46 to 6. It was sim
ply case of the Kenosha boys being
ouGclassed. The locals were not ready
for such hard game and it is possible
that later in the season the Kenosha
team would have given the Racine boys
harder tussle. The game was rough
one and with superior weight the col
lege boys bore the locals down the field
in every rush. The only score for the
Kenosha boys was made near the end
OF the second quarter, when Kupfer csr-
ried the ball over after succession of
end rushes. The Racine team in the
first half got total of three touch
downs and they made the remainder of
the scores in the second half. The Ra-
cine players were trained to the minute
and their fast play both in line work
and in open play was a revelation to
the Kenosha players. 1t is pretty GER
tain that the Racine college team is
right in line for the championship
among the scholastic teams of the state.
The Kenosha team had hard blow
in the first three minutes of play in
the injury of Earl Schmitz. He was
play half back for the KenoSha team
and was caught in a scrimmage in such
manner that his left arm was dislo-
Gated at the elbow. He was taken to
hospital and later returned to his
home in Kenosha and it is certain that
he will be out of the game for the re-
mainder of the season.
Several minor injuries were received
| by the members of the two teams and
the game was a decidedly rough one.
Coach Ebert in speaking about the
game this morning said, ''The college
boys were too heavy and too fast for
the Kenosha boys and we lacked
preparation for such hard game. I.
am hopeful that Schmitz is not serious
ly injured but fear that he will be out
of the game for the remainder of the
season.
A big crowd of Kenosha rooters went
to Racine to witness the game.

The deceased had resided In Kenosha
for some time and had been employed
in the tannery.
Miller showed great sorrow when ne
learned that the man had died from his
injuries, but he insisted that the whole
thing was an accident. The body of
Hikowitz was removed to the Mischler
morgue and Coroner Millager will hold
an inquest and bring out all possible
information in regard to the case.
Miller viii probably be forced to re-
main in the city lookup pending this
Investigation.
Miller talked freely of the accident
at the police Office this morning de-
claring that he regretted more than he
could say the fatal ending of the ac-
cident. He reiterated his story re-
peatedly and declared that the acct
dent was an unavoidable one.
s'I was coming from the north at a
rate of about sixteen CT seventeen miles
an hour said Miller, "and just as L
got over the railroad tracks l saw two
men and woman on the road ahead
of me. The woman was walking in the
center of the road and the two men at
the side. / gave them the signal with
the horn and shut off my gas and put
on the brakes The old man and his
companion stepped to one side of the
road and the woman to the other. The
woman then called to the men and told
| them to come to the side of the road
on which she was walking. At this
time | was just a few feet from the
party and the old man stepped direct
! ly in front of the machine and was
struck by the handle bars. l turned
just as quick as | could and went into
| the ditch at the side of the road and
the motorcycle stopped within eight
| feet of the place where the old man
had been struck. [ jumped off the ma
chine and went back and the old man
was conversing with the woman and the
| other man. He was conscious at this
| time but he became unconscious few
minutes later. / at once sent man to
call an ambulance and the doctor and
remained at the scene of the accident
until the old man had been taken to
the hospital. The man turned so quick
that | simply could not have avoided
the accident. I have been riding a
motorcycle since last May and this is
the first accident of any kind that |
have had. :"
Miller is known as a careful driver
to the police motorcycle squad and they
believe his story in regard to the
accident.
/ Coroner Millager called a jury this
afternoon and will begin the investi-
cation Of the accident at once.
