CHADEK ACQUITTED

Steve Chadek, bar tender at the
Star hotel, who was roughly handled
by Policeman Foster over two weeks
ago when there was row on at the
place, and who was arrested on two
counts--resisting an officer and assault
and battery was tried in municipal
court yesterday. He denied the
charges and several witnesses testi-
fed that Chadek did not resist the
officer and did not strike at him, but
that the policeman rushed into the bar
room like big bully and apparently
without provocation clubbed Chadek
and knocked him down and when he got
up they clinched and the policeman
threw Chadek against the cigar case
and hurt him quite badly.
After being out short time the jury
brought in verdict of not guilty and
Chadek was discharged. Atty. John
Healy defended Chadek and District
Attorney Schmitz prosecuted the case.
Officer Foster is new man on the
force and evidently the jury believed
that he thought he was monarch of
all he surveyed" after getting star
and club.

SCHLICHT COMPLAINT DISMISSED

Judge Chloupek of Man:towoc who
recently heard the application to have
Mrs. Walter Wiegand removed as
guardian of Master William Schlicht
has rendered decision denying the
request, and instructing tho attorneys
to draw an order dismissing the pro-
ceediugs.
The decision Of Judge Chloupek is
brief and recltes: "The undisputed
facts are that Mrs. Wiegand managed
the household of Mr.. Schlicht during
his wife's last illness, which covered a
period of two years. That her death
occurred about four years ago and
Mrs. Wiegand continued in the capac-
ity OF housekeeper until the death of
Nh. Schlicht last fall. Within short
time after the demise of his wife, Mr..
Schlicht made will wherein he
named his financial adviser and bosom
friend Mr.. Adolph Pfster, the exc
cutor thereof and the trustee of all his
for the benefit of his son, William
Schlicht. The failure of Mr.. Schlicht
to name in his will guardian of the
body of his son caused a petition to be
filed in court by Mr.. Ptster, and Mrs.
Wiegand was thereupon appointed. No
complaint is made as to the incom-
potency or inability Of Mrs. Wiegand
to assume the care and charge Of the
moral and physical welfare of William,
but there seems to be an assumed in
ference that because of the fact that
William fails to visit his parents rel
atives his mind is prejudiced by or
through the acts of Mrs. Wiegand. 1t
is not presumed that to make visits or
calls constitutes an ingredient in the
makeup of person, unless there is
some proof that she poisoned the mind
of her ward. He appears to be man
ly fellow but for some reason unbe-
known to him, he may be derelict to
the memory of his parents in that he
fails to call upon relatives. 1t is not
for the court to prescribe how many
visits should be made and how much
love should be bestowed upon each one.
H. might be well for the boy TO come
in contact with those who have reason
To love him, bur such course is left to
nature and not TO courts, unless it ap-

A FATAL ACCIDENT.

Last saturday afternoon, aDOuL d
O'Clock, Irwin Schalowetz, aged three
years, was struck by an automobil
driven by Walter Kielsmeer. Th
accident happened on York street be-
tween 9th and 10th streets. The boy
was taken to the hospital where he
died Sunday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schalowetz reside on
Wash. street, but were assisting Mr.,
Niles, father of Mrs. Schalowetz, who
was moving on that day to the south
side. The two Schalowetz children,
Irwin and his sister aged 6, were also
at the place and were playing across
the street. Irwin started across the
street just as the auto was passing and
was struck and thrown a distance of II
feet. His skull was fractured and his
body was badly bruised.
An inquest was held Monday after
noon and the jury found as follows:
"We, the jury find that Irwin Scha-
lowetz, ,, came to his death on York
street Saturday, July II, by beingIrun
down by an automobile driven by Wal
ter Kielsmeier, and that the accident
was Unavoidable
The jury consisted OF Chas. Gruhle,
Wenzel Kadow, Geo. Orth, j. G.. Lehm-
kuhl VIM. Booming and Frank Guse,
Jr.
Six witnesses were called 10 testify
only one of whom really saw the acci-
dent, Frank Holleran. The other wit
nesses did not see how the accident
happened, having become aware of the
tragedy when the boy lay PROSTATE on
the street. Holleran said that the two
children had started from the curb, one
crossing the street and the other, Irwin
was struck by the auto. He testified
that the auto was going at good clip
and that the driver was looking at the
dray wagon instead of looking ahead.
According to the testimony the
child was struck when he was about y
feet from the curb. DR.. G. NJ. Gleason
told of the injuries which caused death.
Wm. Niles, grandfather, and John
Schalowetz, father of the dead boy,
told of the care of the boy after the ac-
cident. Frank Forester, who was as
sisting in loading furniture at the Niles
home, also testified but said he did not
see how the accident happened.
Walter Kielsmeier, driver of the
car, said that the child had stepped
from the curb in front of the machine
too late for him to stop the car, though
ne was driving very slowly. He said
he had swung the front wheels Of the
machine to clear the dray wagon and
believed that the wheel had struck the
boy.
The jury was out but ten minutes
and returned its verdict of "unavoida-
bic accident"
IL is said the car went about 100 feet
before it stopped. In nearly every
instance when there is an accident the
state lnent is made that the driver was
well within the speed limit, but the
natureiof many an accident has dis
proven the truth of such testimony.

that Manitowoc county has never

FURTHER PROGRESS
 0F BULL MOVEMENT
Cotton Prices Advance and Reach Highest Level
 of Session

New Orleans. September 1s.-The bull movement in cotton made further prog ress today, prices being at the advance throughout the session and closing at the highest. a net gain of S1 to s7 points. Middling cotton, for the first time in over year, was quoted at 10 cents 6 pound Bullish sentiment was stimulated by a large volume of unfavorable crop &C., counts, telling of great deterioration in the crop over the belt. as a whole. and by the lowering of private estimates of the crop to and even under Il .00O, 900 bales.
 In the early trading tho market ad- vanced about 10 points, partly in sym pathy with A higher Liverpool market than due and partly because of bullish newspaper accounts of the crop. By noon the market was up a dollar a bale with no signs of decided reaction, although profit taking by satisfied longs furnished much of the offerings. Political news WAS considered unsatisfactory, but had little influence on the market. In the afternoon the rise of IS points in the spot depart ment increased the enthusiasm of buyers offerings became scanty and the market took on a firm undertone, holding it until the close May, the strongest month on the close, was up practically $2 a bale

NEW HIGH RECORDS
 IN COTTON PRICES.
Market Developed Firmness on Bullish Reports From
 Goods Trade

New York, September 13.-There was a renewal of active buying in the cotton market here today and prices made new high records with December contracts selling up to 1o.soc in the late trading, and with the close strong at a net advance of from 25 to 40 points.
 Favorable weather over tho week and rather an uneasy feeling with reference to International politics prompted consid- erable realizing at the start, and after opening at an advance of to points in sympathy with relatively firm cables. there was a brief period of irregularity. Liverpool and New Orleans seemed to have selling orders here. but all offerings were well absorbed and the market soon developed marked firmness on bullish re- ports from the goods trade, reiterated predictions of an improved export demand and bullish crop and spot advices from the south.
 After showing a net advance of about 20 to 25 points. prices again reacted slightly under profit-taking and there seemed to be rather reactionary feel of or points there was a renewal of Wall street and commission house sup port which carried prices to the highest level of the day and season in the late trading. October contracts which had sold at 10. 15c early, advanced to 10. 45c, while January sold up from 1o.67c to 10.s7c, with active months generally showing net gains of from 32 to S5 points.
 The buying movement seemed to be general, and many of the forenoon sellers were credited with covering or replacing their long contracts on the afternoon advance. Closing prices were practically the highest of the day.
