Died Tuesday After Short Illness.

Frank M. Zeyen, 38 years of age and
one of the best known of the younger
residents of the north side of the city
died very suddenly at the Kenosha hos
pital on Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Zeyen
had been stricken with pneumonia on
Monday morning and he was taken to
the hospital on Monday evening. The
disease developed with such rapidity
that from the first the physicians at
tending him had little hope of his re-
covery.
The deceased was a son of the late
John p Zeyen, one of the early pioneer
residents Of Kenosha He was born at
the Zeyen homestead on Division street,
Jan. 81, 1875, and he had spent his en-
tire life in Kenosha 1t is thought that
he contracted the cold which turned in
to pneumonia while attending a funeral
on last Saturday.
Mr.. Zeyen is survived by his widow
and FIVE small children. The remains
were taken to the family residence 30
Division street this morning. Funeral
services will be held from St. George

HELD FOR TRIAL BY COURT
Munro Charged with Performing Grim
inal Operation on 16-YearOld Girl
Declares He is Being Prosecuted"
but Strong Evidence is Presented.

Pleading his own case and declining
to employ an attorney, DR.. David Nun
70, charged with performing Q criminal
operation on Eva Major, sixteen year
old girl residing in the town of Somers,
appeared before Judge Randall for a
preliminary hearing in the municipal
court this morning. Munro made an i'm
passioned plea in his own defense hold
ing that he was being prosecuted and
that an effort was being made to drive
him out of the practice Of his profes.
sion in Kenosha, but Judge Randall,
after hearing the evidence of the state
held that there was reasonable cause to
believe that a crime had been commit
ted and held the physician for trial
at the October term of the municipal
court in bonds Of $500. DIR. Munro had
given a similar bond at the time of his
arrest and it is thought that this bond
will be continued pending the trial of
the case. Miss Major, who was the
principal witness for the state in the
case, was in court accompanied by her
father, James Major.
Before evidence was taken Judge
Randall advised Dr. Munro that the
charge agi3ast MIN was serious one
and that he was entitled to the services
of an attorney. He scorned the offer
and declared that he would handle his
own case. The Major girl told of the
operation performed by DR.. Munro and
stated that she had advised him of her
condition when she went to him for
treatment. DR.. III. J. Stalker was also
called by the state and he testified to
the condition of the young woman on
the day following the alleged operation
when he had been called by her father
to attend her. DR.. Munro questioned
the witnesses and then took the stand
in his own defense. He declared that
he had been given no knowledge of the
condition of the young woman and that
when she came to him she appeared to
be suffering from hard cold. He de-
clared that he had treated her with oils
and healing ointments and that the only
instrument that had been used had been
used to allay Inflammation. He contra
dicted the evidence given by the state
witnesses and declared that he had no
idea of the condition of the girl until
ne was informed OF these conditions
later by member of her family.
There was no other evidence for the
defendant and the district attorney did
not argue the case to the court. DR..
Munro made his greatest objection
against any increase in the bond re-
quired for the case declaring that a
higher bond would force him to go to
Jail.
The case is the only criminal case on
the calendar for the October term of the
municipal court and it will be tried be
fore jury on the opening day of the
court term.

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Man Denies Robbing Friend but Offers
to Return Money Lost by Him.

Gottfred Yuchalski, arrested a short
time ago on charges of grand larceny,
was arraigned before Judge Randall in
the municipal court this morning and
held to answer the charges in the NUM-
cipal court at the October term. He
was charged with stealing $100 from
Christopher Pekowski on August End.
Yuchalski was arrested in Milwaukee.
When he took the stand in his own de-
Tense this morning he stoutly main
tanned his innocence, but he declared
that he was willing to put an end to
the trouble by paying his friend the
amount alleged to have been stolen.
Judge Randall refused to be a party
to any trafieing in justice and he ad-
vised Yuchalski that if he was not
guilty Of grand larceny he had no
reason to settle. Yuchalski is hope
full thai he will be able to secure
bonds pending the trial Of the case.

Judge Randall is Urged to
Adopt New Plan for Deal
ing with Auto Speeders.
BARGAIN RATES SUGGESTED

GA Dollar Mile for Speeders. "
This is the latest Interpretation of the
laws against automobile speeding and
Judge Randall is being urged to adopt
this plan in making fines in the munich
pal court Men who drive automobiles
hold that this plan is a fair one as it
insures the man who violates the law q
chance to pay a fine in keeping with the
extent Of his violation. If man burns
up the pavements of Lake avenue at a
rate of forty miles an hour he would
be able to 90 into court with the assur-
ance that his fine would be in keeping
with his speed. When he hears the horn
of Motorcycle Mike" behind him all
he will have to do is to glance at his
speedometer and then 60 around by way
of the bank and get money enough to
settle with the judge.
The new plan would be admirable in
settling with speeders from other cities
as the speedometer would tell the man
lust how much he must leave with the
police department to secure his liberty.
The new plan has been adopted in a
number Of the courts Of Milwaukee and
it is said to have gone long way to-
ward the reducing of speeding. Mil
waukee courts have placed speed of
twenty miles an hour as the maximum
and all fines start at twenty dollars.
In Kenosha the police are not looking
for the man who runs under twenty
miles an hour, and it is safe to say that
not a single arrest has been made where
cars were being operated under this
speed. The dollar a mile fine would be
little heavier than has been assessed
in Kenosha in the past but with bar
gain rates of fifty cents a mile the
Judge in the municipal court would
gauge the fines at about the same rate
as they have been assessed in the past.
This would take little mathematics
but it is probable that all the drivers
would be able to figure out their fines
by looking over the speed indicator.
Motorcycles are just as bad offenders
as automobiles and half dollar a mile
fine on a motorcycle would be no bur
den. The police have been watching
closely the new plan for dealing with
speeders and they believe that it will
work admirably in Kenosha. In the
auto the driver has chance 10 know
just what he will get and no partiality
is to be shown. It is pretty certain
that the speed laws will be a lot bet.

Albert Williams nine years
of Age Loses Life Off Div
ision Street Thursday.
USE PuLMOTOR IN Vain

Albert Williams, nine year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Williams re-
siding at 517 Lake avenue was drowned
in the shallow waters of the lake off
Division street only short distance
from his home just before five O'Clock
on Thursday afternoon. The body of
the little boy was recovered from the
water within ten minutes after he had
gone down and the pulmoter from the
Central Engine House was used on him
for more than an hour but it was i'm
possible to resuscitate the lad.
Williams and smaller brother with
a number of other children in the
neighborhood had been playing along
the lake. They had been repeatedly
warned against going into the lake as
neither Of the boys could swim. just
after four O'Clock the boys went wad
ing in the shallow waters Of the lake.
They went out little farther on each
trip and finally Ebert" went in over
his depth. The younger brother saw
him go down and ran all the way home
before he gave the alarm. At the camp
of DR.. G. II. Beemer a hundred yards
from the scene of the drowning were a
number of men and they knew nothing
of the drowning until they heard the
screams of Mrs. Williams. They hur-
ried to the lake and led by DR.. Beemer
a line was made and in short time the
body of the boy was recovered. In the
meantime the pulmoter had been sent
for and it was at the beach when the
body was removed. DR.. Beemer and DIR.
Jorgensen aided the members of the fire
department in the operation of the pull
motor and it was kept working for more
than an hour. Not single response
was secured. The boy lungs seemed
to be completely filled with water.
After every possible effort had been
made to bring back spark of life the
body of the little boy was carried to
the Williams home and Coroner Milla-
ger called to make an investigation. It
is probable that the coroner will sign
the death certificate without holding an
inquest

MAY HAVE BEEN FROMKENOSHA
Body was Wrapped in a Newspaper
and Badly Decomposed-Zion Autho-
rites to which City Body was Taken
Believe it was Dropped from Train

The body of child, probably six
months old, was found along the
tracks of the Northwestern Railway
Company, half mile north of Zion
City on Tuesday afternoon and police
in Waukegan, Kenosha, Zion City and
other cities along the north shore
have been asked to make an effort to
solve the mystery connected with the
finding of the little body. The body
was found by a gang of track work
ers and before the officials elf Lake
county had been notified the 1t1en had
dug grave along side of the track
and buried the little child. Letter the
report of the finding of the body was
sent to Zion City and an ndertaker
went out and exhumed the remains
and took them to Zion City where they
are being held pending some decision
of the coroner Of Lake county.
The body had evidently been laying
along the track for some time. 1t
was wrapped in piece of newspaper
and was so badly decomposed that the
undertaken believed that it may, havo
been left on the track as long as
week ago.
Captains a. Walker &C rs 2i0a
City police force, was the first totmake
any investigation into the case. It is
not thought that the child belonged to
any one in Zion City and it is the
theory Of the police there that the
child was brought to Zion to be dis
posed of. There was nothing on the
little body to indicate that the child
had been strangled, but physicians
will make further examination to-
day. The position in which the bum
die containing the little body was
found indicated that the bundle had
probably been dropped from passing
train. The bundle lay just on the edge
Of the ditch at the side of the south
bound track. The child was entirely
naked and the paper in which it was
wrapped had been published in Chica.
go week ago.
The local police have found nothing
to indicate that the baby was taken
from KanoSha No casoc which ruouId
create any suspicious along this line
have been turned over to the local po-
lice for examination.
Capt. Walker of the Zion City force
is of the opinion that the child was
either murdered or died in Chicago
and that the body was taken out on
the train and dropped at night just
after the train had pulled out Of
Zion City.

RIGHT SIDE IS PARALYzEg
Physicians Fear the Worst When Pa
tient Remains Unconscious for Many
Hours Had Been in Bad Health for
Years hut Believed He VISA Improving
(From Wednesday S Daily

(From Wednesdays Daily
Fred j. Gottfredsen, one Of the best
known men of the city, was stricken
with apoplexy at his home on Deming
street just before nine o'clock Tues
day evening and reports this after
noon state that his condition is cri-
tical. The stricken man has not been
conscious since Tuesday night and
physicians h we discovered that his en-
tire right side is paralyzed. It is
feared that he can not recover.
The stroke Of apoplexy came without
any warning. Mr.. Gott3 gsdsen has
been in bad health for NOR than four
years, but on Tuesday he lad been at
his Office both morning and afternoon
and he had commented Oh the fact
that he was feeling better than he had
in months. He returned te his home
iusC before dinner Tuesday afternoon
and after dinner he had gone for a
short automobile ride with some of his
friends. Returning to tbs house he
had been sitting on the front porch
with his wife. He seemed to be cheer
full and in the best spirits and they
had been chatting togethes for half
an hour.
Mrs. Gottfredsen had asked her hus-
band a question and when he failed to
respond she went over. to his chair and
found that his head had fallen for
ward on his breast. He was breathing
heavily. AS soon as possible she sum-
moned aid and neighbors came to her
assistance. It was seen at once that
Mr.. Gottfredsen had been stricken
with some form Of heart disease. He
was carried to his bed room and Doc
tor Cleary was called to attend him.
Then it was discovered that his en-
tire right side was paralyzed. There
has been little change in the condi-
ton Of Mr.. Gottfredsen since he was
stricken. He has lain in a stupor and
all efforts to revive him have been
unavailing.
For the past four years the stricken
man has made a game struggle against
an acute kidney disease and several
times during that time he had been
stricken with attacks similar to the
one on Tuesday evening. On other oc-
casions these attacks had been Of very
short duration. Some time ago while
in New Orleans Mr.. Gottfredsen had
similar stroke, but he recovered with
in few hours and was able to re-
turn to his home in Kenosha and since
that time there had been a steady i'm
provement in his health. During the
past two weeks the Improvement had
been so steady that his friends had
hoped for his ultimate recovery.
Mr.. Gottfredsen has been so active
ly connected with the life Of Kenosha
in the past fifty years that his con-
dition has awakened a great deal of
interest among people in all parts of
the city. DR.. Cleary said this after
noon: 'eThe condition Of Mr. Gottfred-
sen is precarious and We have little
hopes of his recovery. He is not con
.scious and has not been able to swal
low any nourishment and we feel GER
tain that he can not recognize any of
his friends. His entire right side is
paralyzed. !"

new TEACHERS ARE. ELECTED
George shubert Of Chicago Named as
Manual Training Teacher and Miss
Katherine Tuomy of Ann Arbor for
Commercial Dept.-To Collect Tuition

Another school building was added to
the holdings of the city on Tuesday
night when the board of education de-
cided to purchase from the town of
Somers the one room building located
in district No. Is. The board takes
over the building and equipment at a
price Of $4,000 and it is agreed that the
entire purchase price shall be paid in
tuition of Somers children attending
the schools of the city. Superintendent
Mary D. Bradford was instructed to
employ teacher to have charge of the
newly purchased building and it will be
operated during the coming year as 9
part of the school system. The school
site consists of an acre of land and it is
said that the building is in excellent
condition and it will aid materially in
taking care of the children in that new
section OF the city. 1t is expected that
the children who attended, the school in
former years will continue there. 1t is
possible that some of the children who
have had a long walk to the Gillett
school will find accommodation at the
new building.
The board took action to fill all the
vacancies in the teaching force for the
coming year. George Schubert of Chi
cago, manual training teacher Of long
experience, was employed as an assistant
in the manual training department and
Miss Katherine Tuomy Of Ann Arbor,
Mich, was named as teacher in the COM
mercial department. of the high school.
Miss Tuomy is graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan and of the Moran
Commercial college and she has had
wide experience in teaching commercial
branches. The one vacancy in the list
of the grade teachers was filled by the
election of Mrs. Edith Schmid of New
Glarus, an experienced teacher with
normal training.
The superintendent was instructed to
take up at once the question of collec-
ton of tuition from students who come
from the towns outside the city. Decid-
ed changes in tuition charges are
made by the new law passed by the
state legislature this year. Students in
the high school will pay tuition at the
rate of four dollars a month, the for
mer charge being So a month. AS there
are IA students from outside the city
registered in the high school, the
amount to be received for tuition will
be considerably greater than last year.
The tuition for children in the grade
schools will be 40 cents a week. The
report from last year showed that there
were 33 children from outside the city
in the graded schools.
The board took no final action in re-
gard to the purchase of portable
school building and this question will be
taken up at the regular September
meeting of the board. BY that time the
board will be able to know definitely
Just what will be demanded to take
care of all the chillren seeking place
in the schools.

Men Seeking Site for New Home for
Feeble Minded May Visit Kenosha.

The state board of control is maxi

seeking site for the building of
new institution to be used for the care
of the feeble minded and an effort will
be made to have the members Of the
board come to Kenosha and take a look
at Jacob IS Island as site for the pro-
posed institution. Kenosha has never
been considered as a location for
state institution and it is said thai
the board is favorable to the selec-
ton Of site in the southern portion
of the state. Sites have been offered
at Waukesha, Oconomowoc, Oshkosh
and Milwaukee, but none of these seem
to meet the requirements Of the board
1t is just possible that some vigorous
work on the part of Kenosha boosters
would result in the board being inter
ested in Kenosha. Kenosha could Of
