on Tuesday when the automobile in
which he was riding collided with one

was thrown out of the car and the
automobile was badly damaged. The
Vincent car was not damaged by the
collision. DR.. Stalker was able to
walk to his home block from the
scene of the accident, but he will
probably feel the results of his in

Toggle Drawing Press
in ! zeal Factory.
COST 10 FEET OF DOLLARS

A giant double toggle drawing press,
with capacity of fifteen hundred
tons, or three million pounds, has just
been installed in the Jeffery works at
Krnosha, Wisconsin. This press, which
weighs one hundred and eighty-six
thousand pounds, or niaety-three tons,
required six freight cars in its trans
portation and, according to the manu-
facturers, it is the largest of it's type
in the state of Wisconsin and one of
but four Of this size in use in the
United States.
This press will be used for making
the big cowls over the dash Of Jeffrey
motor cars. The dies for making this
particular part required to complete
them the efforts Of two skilled die
makers, working ten hours per day, for
and one half months.
The cost of this press has not been
nldue pupllc, Dut the JeHery people
say that if it was paid for in silver
dollars, placed one above the other, the
pile would measure one hundred and
twenty feet high.
The press is operated by directly
connected electric motor and it takes
just one minute and one operation to
make the complete cowl.

QUESTION OF RESIDENCE.
Judge Randall Holds Up Weinholz Di-
vorce Action in Municipal Court.

In the municipal court late Tuesday
afternoon Judge Randall heard the
testimony IL suit for divorce brought
by Frank w. Weinholz, against his
wife, Linnie F. Weinholz, but no
formal Judgment was handed down.
There was no appearance on the part
of the wife who was alleged to have
deserted the plaintiff at Waterloo, Ia,
six months after the marriage in 1911.
The husband claimed Kenosha as his
residence, holding that he made his
home with his father. The evidence
introduced brought out the fact that
Weinhoiz had been living in Detroit
for the past year and half. He held
that he was working as an apprentice
in Detroit factory and had the right
to claim Kenosha as 8 residence, the
same as a student attending college.
Judge Randall took the question I'M
der advisement and an order in the
case will be handed down later.

in Kenosha is here from Fremont, Neb.,
for a visit with friends in the city.
Carrier Davis made his first trip out
of the Kenosha Office in 1897. At that
time the city had a population of a
little less than 10000 and four car
riers were used to handle all the mail
of the city. This was long before the
coming Of the rural carriers. For many
years Mr.. Davis was No. l among the
carriers of Kenosha, but many years
ago he was transferred to Fremont,
Neb., and he has been connected witt

ELECTRIC BUREAU LOSES s45
Young Man Who Had Worked as Sales
man Cashed Checks on Schippers
Electrical Bureau for $45 and May
have Negotiated Other Bogus Paper.

Leo D. Murphy, twenty-five years of
age and for the past three weeks en-
ployed as a salesman by the Schip-
per's Electric Bureau, is being sought
by the police on charges of forgery.
Murphy is charged with passing three
forged checks which netted him $40 in
cash. One Of the checks in the sum
Of 500, was passed at the store Of the
Settle Millinery Company. Another for
SIS was cashed by Schmftz and Lauer,
and a third for $40 over the counter
of the bank.
Murphy is supposed to have left
Kenosha early Tuesday morning and
the forgeries were discovered late
Tuesday afternoon. The forgeries
were made easy by the fact that the
checks were signed with rubber
stamp bearing the name Of the com
pany and the only other signature was
the counter signing by B. L. Schippers,
the president Of the company.
Young Murphy, who claimed that his
home was near Hamilton, O., had come
to Kenosha four weeks ago. He was
well dressed and of good appearance.
He worked for a week at the plant Of
the Simmons Manufacturing Company.
To his fellow workmen he had declar-
ed that he was student in Columbia
University in New York and that he
had come to this section of the country
on account Of suffering from hay
fever. He was well educated and had
little trouble finding work in the city.
Three weeks ago ne was employed by
the electric bureau as salesman and
he had made good. He had been paid
in checks and evidently in this man
ner saw his chance to get some easy
money. The writing on the forged
checks was done with great care and
it would have deceived even the most
careful person. All of the checks were
cashed within a short time before
Murphy left the city. On Monday he
had made arrangements to go to work
for an insurance agent in the city, but
he failed to show up to accept this
position.
Murphy is clever fellow and it is
pretty certain that with forty-fve dol
lars in his pocket he has managed to
get quite way from Kenosha. He
told so many stories of his former life
while in Kenosha that the police have
found it difficult to follow him. Eff
forts are now being made to locate
him at Peoria, I'll. It is known that
he formerly lived at the Y. Ne. c. A.
building in that city. At the Schip-
per's store it was declared that Muir
ply was a successful salesman and
that he was making good money and
that no reason could be given for his
forging the checks.
It is possible that the young fellow
got away with a number of other
checks all stamped with the name Of
the company and it is feared that the
amount he secured will prove larger
than the amount reported to the police.

PROPERTY OWNERS CONSENT
Company is Asked to Build Line West
on Elizabeth Street to Alleman Ave.
and North to Grand Ave. to Connect
With Line Extended on That Street

Mrs. James Hannah, owner of Han
nan Park on West Prairie avenue, is
pioneering street railway line for the
big territory to the west of the city
and she went to Milwaukee today to
take up the matter with the officials
of the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Co.,
hopeful that the proposed line to the
west will be made portion Of rail
way system now being outlined by the
company which is proposed to give ser
vice to the northwest side of the city.
Mrs. Hannah is seeking to bring the
entire territory to the west of the city
into closer touch with the downtown
districts. Her movement is not exact
ly new one as it was taken up two
years ago by the officials of the old
Kenosha Electric Railway Co., and it
was under consideration when the lines
were sold to the Milwaukee company.
Mrs. Hannah has secured a petition
sigped by q majority Of the property
owners on the streets proposed for the
new lines and it is certain that the
company will have no trouble with the
property owners if it decides to take up
the plan for building the lines.
The route has not been fully oab.
lined but the proposed route is west
from the present end Of the lines on,
Elizabeth street to Alleman avenue and
thence north over this street and over
property which will be donated to the
center of Grand avenue.
Mrs. Hannah has already secured by
purchase the property which would be
needed as right of way and it has been
dedicated as public highway. Only
small portion of the line would be
within the present limits of the city
and it would be necessary for the com
pany to get consent from the town of
Somers for the building of the line.
The line would undoubtedly prove
popular one for the people living in the
suburban territory and it would tap a
territory which should be profitable to
the company. This territory includes
much of the Crook subdivision, Orchard
Knoll and Kenosha Heights and the
Hannah subdivisions. 1t is declared
that it would not be an expensive. prop
osition to build the line.
The company has not as yet agreed
on any street to be used for the line
west Of West Main street and leading
to the northwestern part of the city
but it is expected that some formal or
dlnsnce covering route in that section
OF the city will be submitted to the
city council before the end of the year.
Under an agreement recently made
between the company and the members
OF the transportation committee of the
city an ordinance for this line was to
be presented to the council within three
months. The matter is being taken up
with property owners and the companv
is seeking to find route which will
meet with the sanction of the property
owners to be affected by the building
of it.
The proposition being urged by Mrs.
Hannah will undoubtedly be given
every consideration by the officials of
the company as it is certain that such
line will be demanded in the very
rear future.
