DRANK TooTH-AcHE CURE.
Roy Warburton Causes Saturday Night
Sensation by Attempting Suicide.

tits all off. I took poison Roy
Warburton, pretty well known as man
about town made this statement just
after seven O'Clock Saturday night
when he staggered into the apartments
of his mother at 216 Main street. He
fell to the floor unconscious and it
was some time before he was revived
by the ministrations of Dr. M. A. Bern
stein who used a stomach pump with
good deal of vigor and applied emet-
les with just as much vigor. Warbur-
ton had taken the contents Of a bottle
of toothache medicine. 1t was made
up largely of carbolic acid and oil of
cloves and from the condition of War
burton he had evidently taken large
amount Of the mixture Later Satur-
day night he was revived and taken to
his home on the west side of the city.
The attempt at suicide caused lot of
excitement in the down town district
of the city and the police were called to
the Warburton apartments and they
later took the would-be suicide to his
home.
Warburton has a wife and two chill
dren and he is about 81 years of age.
Close personal friends claim that he
had been respondent on account of
family troubles. For the last week
Warburton had been working in Ra-
cine as an advertising man and he came
back to Kenosha on Saturday evening
only a short time before he took the
dose of poison. It is declared he had
been drinking to excess at the time he
took the dose of poison. 1t was de-
clared today that Warburton was out
of danger. He made no statements to
his friends after his recovery from the
effects of the carbolic acid and showed
a willingness to regard the attempt at
suicide as closed incident.

WELL KNOWN AMONG LAKE MEN
Had Resided in Kenosha Since 1906
and Had Been Active in Developing
of Lake Commercial Routes Out of
This City-Win Cremate Body.

Captain Ludlow P. Hill, aged sc
years, president of the Hill Steamboat
company and man actively connected
with lake navigation for many years,
died at his residence on Park avenue,
just after nine clock Sunday morn
ing. Death came in peaceful sleep and
was the result Of a general breaking
down due to advanced age. Captain
Hill had been in feeble health for the
past two weeks and his death had not
been unexpected. His children were all
at the bedside when the final summons
came
The death of Captain Hill removes
from active life one of the most inter
esting of the men who have been in
fuential in the upbuilding of lake com
merce.
Ludlow Presley Hill was born in Ell
lisburg, Jefferson County, New York,
Oct. 10, 1929. He was a son of the late
L. P. Hill. In 1889 he came with his
parents to Illinois and settled on a
farm near the present site of the city
of Elgin. Captain Hill resided in I'LL
nois for seventeen years after which he
removed to Beaver Island, Mich, where
he was married to Miss Cecilia Seaman.
Soon after his marriage Captain Hill
became the keeper of light house on
Lake Michigan and held this position
for eighteen months. Then he removed

time and then he removed to Wonewoc

Hill and his sons built their first vessel,

they built the steamer tCecelia Hill, =
and this vessel was engaged in COM
mission in the freight trade on Lake
Michigan. The Hill Steamboat com
pany was organized at Green Bay in
1908 and In 1906 the headquarters of
the company were removed to Keno
sha and the Chicago, Waukegan run
was established. Captain Hill took the
greatest possible interest in the devel-
opement of the Kenosha business and
while his advancing age forced him to
give up active life. as a sailor, he was
the directing head of the company up
to the time of his death. He had taken
a great interest in Kenosha and the de-
velopment of the lake commerce out of
this port. Captain Hill was widely
known among the oloer business men of

Wallace Hill, Ludlow L. Hill and Will
liam Seaman Hill and two daughters,
Mrs. Eva H. Potter and Mrs. Albert J.
White. All of the children are now re-
siding in Kenosha. The three sons were
actively interested with their father in
the steamer line.

Gregory Sullivan Accepts Office OF
Manager for Prudential.

Kenoshan, who for some time has been
a travelling salesman for Smith 6 Co.

Thursday to accept the position as a
manager for Kenosha county for the
Prudential Life Insurance company
Mr.. Sullivan will have charge of the
cold line" business of the company

later add other territory to his juris.
diction. He will not be in any way
associated with the writing of the In

The Prudential has not had a regular

Mr.. Sullivan will be able to develop a
very profitable trade for the company.

EXTRA BARTEN0ERs ARE IDLE
Traffic by Automobile and by Train on
Sunday Failed to Reflect the Dryness
of the Big City and Local Wet Deal
ers Are Disappointed.

Sunday proved disappointment to
lot of people in Kenosha. These peo-
pie thought that Kenosha would be one
of the great os.ses in the dry desert
brought into being by the closing of the
4 Chicago saloons on Sunday and they
thought and even hoped that hundreds
and possibly thousands of thirsty Chi
cago people would flee from the saloon
less city and find their way to Kenosha.
There was little doing in the line Of
making Kenosha an oasis and for this
reason these people were disappointed.
I The places out on the outskirts of
the city which figure in the first
chance" class were especially interest
ed and at some of these places special
bartenders had been employed to take
care of the rush trade from the thirsty
automobile tourists coming from the
south. New stocks of better liquors
for which higher price could be charg
ed were put it at some of these places
! but the extra bartenders stood about
all day just waiting and the extra fine
! liquors still decorate the shelves of the
saloons on the outskirts. Even in the
down town districts of the city some
of the dealers in wet goods were hope
full. Their hopes were dashed long be-
fore noon when they saw that a dry
Chicago was not going to be any bene-
! fit to wet Kenosha. Practically none
of the thirsty Chicagoans came to Ke-
nosha. The registers Of the hotels
show that the number Of automobile
parties in Kenosha on Sunday was even
smaller than ON the previous Sunday
and the outlying saloons declare that
their business showed no Improvement
an any way. Up at the Northwestern
Office the agent declared that it had
not been necessary to put on any extra
cars to carry people seeking to come
to Kenosha from Chicago and it was
asserted that the number of passengers
from the south was unusually small on
Sunday. The saloon men began to lose
Ehope just about noon and when the
crowds of automobile passengers failed
to arrive by three o clock in the after
noon the extra bartenders were told to
beat it" The agencies of the brew
ing companies where beer is sold by
the case had lot of extra cases in the
ice box for Sunday but there was no
appreciable increase in the business of
this nature done on Sunday.
Kenosha is not going to see any
big increase in Sunday bar business on
account of closing up Chicago saloons, =
said one of the leaders in the business
today we had expected some in
crease on Sunday but there was not
enough to make it noticeable. In fact,
5here were not as many visitors to
lost of the places as there has been on
Sundays when Chicago saloons were
wide open. If Kenosha is going to get
any of this business she will have to
put up some real attraction to get the
people to come. Sixty miles is long
distance to go to get drink and even
if a man is real thirsty he will take
a try at water before he makes so long
q trip"
1t is certain that the Kenosha saloon
men will make no efforts to get this
business on succeeding Sundays.

KENoSHA MAN SHOT.
Italian From This City Found Wounded
In Chicago Drug Store Sunday Night

Joseph Ascuitta said to be from Ke-
nosha staggered into drug store at
206 South Canal street Chicago late
Sunday night and asked for drink of

on the floor and an examination showed
that he had two bullet wounds in his
back. The Kenosha man declared that
he had been shot by two men near the
corner of Jackson Boulevard and Canal
street He was taken to hospital and
st was said that he would probably re-
cover. Local police officers were given
no facts in regard to the shooting by
the detective bureau in Chicago. Eff
forts to locate relatives of the wounded
man in Kenosha failed to End out
where he had lived or if he had any
relatives in the city. Even Tony Pig

words that men will drink, law law. This is

THE AMERICAN ISIS UR

100000 to S2oooooo and other city departments are
also short of funds.
In the face of these facts, the claim that the sa
looms of Chicago necessary to finance the ctys al
fairs is preposterous.
A recent report of the police department shows
that it costs the city nearly 100000 to care for the
'drunks' who are kept in the police stations over
night but not fined or imprisoned That the city
spends many times this amount in taking care Of the
criminals and paupes created by its Saloons no sane
erson doubts.
Add to these expenses the loss Of time, loss of
efficiency interruption Of business and the turning OF
useful products into economic waste and it is evident
that the S7ooo,ooo paid by the saloons of Chicago
does not begin to compensate the city for the loss
entailed by its dramshops.
In these days it is serious reflection upon
mans intelligence to claim that drinking liquor is
financial benefit either to individual to a com
munity.
