DR.. G. A. Pugh Brings Suit
For Large Sum From the
U. S. Express Company.
CHARGES NEGLIGENCE TO CO.

DR.. George A. Pugh, through his at
torney Robert Verne Baker has fled
an action in the circuit court of Keno
sha County demanding damages to the
amount of ten thousand dollars from
the United States Express Company, a
foreign corporation. Copies of the
summons and complaint in the action
were served on the company by the
Secretary of State on Sept. 18th and
the company has filed petition in the
local court asking that the service be
set aside as null and void on account
OF the fact that the company has done
no business in the state of Wisconsin
since the first of July of this year. Ac-
ton on this petition is still pending
before the court.
The action brought by DR.. Pugh
against the Express Company is based
on the accident which resulted in the
death of his wife and which occurred
August 81, 1912. The accident was
one of the most tragic ever known in
Kenosha. DIR. and Mrs. Pugh and their
little child were riding along Elizabeth
street near the corner of Pleasant
in an automobile. A delivery wagon
of the Express Company named as
defendant in the action was being
driven easterly along the same street
and it was declared that the driver Of
the wagon was looking for an address
at which to deliver package and
while SO engaged he allowed his horse
to make short turn and brought the
wagon directly in front of the automo-
bile in which DR.. Pugh and the mem
bers of his family were riding. The
thill on the express wagon crashed
through the wind shield of the automo-
bile and Mrs. Pugh was impaled on it.
DR.. Pugh and the little child escaped
practically uninjured. In his suit DR..
Pugh asserts that the death of his
wife was directly due to the negligence
OF the driver of the wagon.
1t is expected that the action will
bring big legal battle as since the
accident the United States Express
Company has dissolved its business.
Attorneys claim that the original ac-
ton in the case was served on August
22nd and this was within the time set
by the statutes.

Members of County School
Board Delay Decision on
Students for City Schools
DISAGREE As TO THE CHARGE

The count board of education was
in session nearly all day Thursday
making an effort to solve the prob
lens of the children living in the ter
ritory recently annexed to the city
who desire to change their schools and
attend schools in the city rather than
the old school in District No. 10 of
Pleasant Prairie and Somers.
The petitions filed with the board
listed twenty-five children who declar-
ed that it would be less of a walk
and safer walk for them to attend
the Columbus and Balm schools in Ke-
nosa than for them to continue to at
tend the school on West Prairie aven-
ue just outside the new limits of the
city. The parents of these children
hold that under the law passed by the
last legislature the children are en-
titled to attend the nearest school and
that their tuition in the city schools
must be paid by the district from
which they come. Superintendent of
Schools Mary D. Bradford and City
Attorney John G. Slater appeared be-
fore the county at the sessions and
stated clearly the. position of the city
in the matter of the education of these
students, holding that they could not
attend the city schools without paying
tuition until such time as school dis
tricts had been changed.
The fact that the territory included
in the annexation had paid no taxes
into the city of Kenosha was empha-
sized by the city officials. Parents of
the children have been sending some
of them to the city schools for several
years, but in these years the tuition
of the children has been paid by the
parents. 1t is declared that in some
cases the amount of the tuition has
been as high as forty-fve dollars a
year and the parents hold that under
the new law this burden may properly
be sifted to the school district. The
members of the board were divided on
the question and they made no deci-
sion at the sessions on Thursday, but
took an adjournment.
A meeting will be called at the
Prairie avenue school house at which
time the members of the county board
will meet the parents Of the children
and seek to reach some agreement.
The question is large one as with the
rapid growth of the city there is no
doubt but that the county school board
will have similar petitions in the
future.

Submarine Transports.

So remarkable have been some OF tne
German war devices disclosed by the
present campaign that 1t is not alto
gether safe to reject as fantastic tales
that come from time to time respecting
strange military and naval novelties In
course of development and construction
in Germany. For instance. recent re-
port coming by way of Copenhagen
states that the Germans are building at
Elbing and Hamburg new type OF
submarine of large size. capable of
transporting troops. These boats are
also designed to be used as pontoons.
1t is known. Of course that one of the
dearest objects of the German COM
manders is to invade England. and
naturally the possibility of an invasion
by means of giant troop-carrying SUBJ
marines Is at once suggested by this
dispatch But this does not seem an al
together practicable proposition. To be
effective an invading force crossing the
channel would have to comprise no less
than 1000 men, for there are doubt
less at this time several times that
number in the training camps of Eng
land, The transport of such an army by
means of submarines would be gigantic
task, lasting many days. Just for the
purpose of computation. il submarine
could carry 500 men. which conceives a
vessel actually beyond the range Of
ina gination in the light OF existing SUBJ
aquatic craft, it would require 200 Of
them to land the army on the English
shores at one trip. or 100 of them in
two trips, or fifty OF them in four trips.
or twenty-five of them in eight trips.
The last number is most likely to be
the limit of any such fleet of trans
ports. and it is quite certain that be-

itself on this subject taking the view
that We should probably draw heavily
from Europe at the time stated; and it
adheres to that belief. The idea is alto
gether persuasive. Undoubtedly the war
will saddle heavy debt on Europe, lay
foundations for future conflicts. and in
crease in other ways the burdens of the
people. AS a result. many of the in
habitants with young families. and more
solicitous for their children than for
themselves, will seek new fields of &C
tivity more promising for peace and
prosperity.
This country remains the garden spot
There is still room. and to spare. There

now. the republic is opportunity" We
have our troubles. But they are really

good fortune as nation has been SO
abundant. we have not shown the proper
appreciation of it. We have undervalued
our large possessions
This question of remaining at home
and helping to settle home difficulties
was more than once put up to the Irish
during the long fight for home rule.
They were urged to stay and help the
cause there. But they continued to emil
crate in large numbers to this country
and cast their fortunes here.
But in America they did not lose their
interest in home rule for Ireland. On
the contrary, they kept the cause in
mind, and did great deal for it. Irish
leaders came over to consult them. and
returned with large contributions in
money for assisting the home campaign
