STRUCK At STATE ST. CROSSING
Father of Mrs. Fred Morehouse Had
Gone to Racine Only Few Days
Ago to Spend suramer With His Son
Member of Racise Common Council.


Grandpa" Nelson, aged seventy
eight years, father of Mrs. Fred More
house of Ashland avenue, who had
made his home with his daughter here,
died at st. Mary's hospital in Racine
at an early hour this morning as a re-
suit of injuries received on Tuesday
afternoon when he was run down by a
jitney bus on State street; in Racine.
Just week ago today Mr.. Nelson
left Kenosha and went to Racine to
spend a part of the summer with his
son Nels Nelson, member of the Ra-
cine city council. He was infrm on
account of age and Tuesday afternoon
just after five clock he attempted to
cross State street. He was making his
way cautiously across the street when
jltney, running at high rate of
speed, ran him down. He was thrown
bruised and bleeding to the side of
the road and was unconscious when
pedestrians picked him up. He was
taken to the hospital in an ambulance
and an examination showed that his
right arm had been broken, his chest
crushed causing fracture of several
ribs and his head had been cut and
bruised. The automobile is said to
have passed over his chest. The old
man did not recover consciousness be-
fore death came this morning and al
though members of the family were
summoned to his bedside he did not
recognize any of them.
Stories differ as to the manner in
which Nelson met his death. The man
driving the automobile, who was taken
into custody by the Racine police, in
sisted that he could not have prevented
the fatal accident, insisting that the
old man walked directly in front of
the car. Pedestrians declared that
Nelson appeared to be confused in his
effort to cross the street and that they
did not believe that he was conscious
of just what he was doing. While Mel
son was an old man he had been in
control Of all of his faculties and it is
not thought that he could have been
confused at the crossing.
Nelson was a native of Denmark and
he remained in his native land until
after ne was seventy years of age
Eight years ago he came to America
and since that time he had made his
home with his children spending a part
of the time in Racine and the remain
der in Kenosha. He was member of
the Racine chapter of the Danish
Brotherhood He is survived by two
sons, Nels Nelson, member of the
Racine city council, and Hans Nelson,
the keeper of summer resort at Arba
Vita, and two daughters, Mrs. Fred
Morehouse of Kenosha and Miss Chris
tina Nelson of Racine.
The funeral will be held from the
home of the son in Racine on Friday
afternoon and intTment will be at
Mound cemetery II that city.

The department. of agriculture at
Washington, d. c., has been SO i'm

STATE TO HANDLE JIT TRAFFIC
Rate Commission Given Supervision
Over Autos Listed at Carriers

Jitney buses will be classed as COM
mon carriers and come under the iuris-
diction of the state railroad rate com
mission, in accordance with the power
granted to the senate committee on
corporations. That committee will in
troduce a substitute for the original
bill, the substitute measure being slat-
ed for consideration by the senate to-
day. The substitute bill will provide
for securing a permit from the COM
mission, for the filing Of schedule Of
rates and routes and give bond in the
sum of $4,000, conditioned on the pay
ment of damages to passengers for per-
sonal injuries. Their liability will be
limited to $4,000 in any single case.
Municipalities will have, no power in
any of these requirements, but may
impose fees for the use of the streets
and other burdens as they may deem
fit. 1t is expected, however, that city
ordinances covering the operating con-
ditions may be enacted by the cities.
AS soon as the state legislature has
passed on this proposed law the city

SEALER MAKES ANNUAL REPORT
Statement For Year Shows That Many
False Measures and Fraudulent Scales
Have Been Found by the sealer, But
Men Who Used Them Escape Court.

The annual report Of the city sealer
has been filed with the city clerk and
it shows that there are lot of incor-
rect weights and measures being used
in Kenosha. During the year the seal
er has been busy adjusting and con-
demning but there have been no prose
cutions of the merchants using the
false balances and the city council at
the meeting on Tuesday night ordered
the sealer to render a report showing
why there had been no prosecutions
along these lines.
The report indicates that Kenosha
people get more incorrect than correct
measures. The city sealer during the
year made a total of 588 tryouts among
the stores in Kenosha and of this num-
Der he got correct weight or measures
In 282 cases and the remainder were
incorrect. These purchases covered
practically every line of business in
the city. The weight Of butter was
found to be the greatest offender
against the law. Out of 222 pounds of
butter purchased the weight of 149 of
the packages was found to be incorrect.
The examination of the report of the
sealer shows that there is an immedi-
ate demand for the prosecution OF short
weight artists in Kenosha. Many scales
in use in the city were found to be
moi in keeping with the law. There is
no reason to believe that the great mass
of Kenosha merchants want to short
weight their customers, but in several
cases scales which were hopelessly bad
were found. The merchants have CO.
operated with the sealer in many ways
in seeking to secure full compliance
with the laws in Kenosha The sta
tistical report of the operations of the
sealer during the year follows:
Annual report Of the city sealer of
weights and measures for the year end
ing July LIST, 1915, in compliance with
section 1861 Of the statutes Devotes

START COLLINS ST. scHoo1. SOON.
School Board Committee Hopes to Have
Work on Building Started by Aug. 1.

The building and grounds committee
met at the city hall on Tuesday night
to take final action in the selection of
materials for the Collins street school
and the bids for the school will be
opened on July 20 and the members of
the committee are hopeful that the
building will be under way by the mid
die Of August. 1t is declared that
many big contractors in other cities
have demanded plans for the school
and it is certain that there will be an
unusually large number of bids for
the general contract. 1t is said that
building is not brisk in the cities about
Kenosha and that for this reason the
board is hopeful that very low figure
will be secured for the construction of
the new building. The committee has
decided to put composition asphalt
floors in the new building with view
of making the building as near sani-
tary model as is possible.

ONE or TWO RESIDUARY HEIRS
Lawyers at San Leandro Notify Keno
sha Mail Carrier That He Is to Re-
ceive Large Sum From the Estate of
the Late Louis Morehouse His Uncle.


A. R. Morehouse, one Of the best
known members of the carrier force Of
the Kenosha postoffice, is going TO give
up carrying mail in the near future
and join the ranks of the idle rich
Tuesday afternoon Carrier Morehouse
received letters from San Leandro,
California, announcing that he had
been named as one of the two residu-
airy legatees to the estate of the late
Louis Morehouse, formerly president
of the First National Bank of San
Leandro, who died a few weeks ago.
The exact value of the estate is not
known, but it is said that the portion
which will come to Mr.. Morehouse will
not be less than twenty-five thousand
dollars and it is possible that it will
be greatly in excess of this amount.
Mr.. Morehouse today admitted that
he had received letters from solicitors
at San Leandro stating the will Of his
uncle had been filed for probate in the
county court for Alameda county, Cal,
and that he was named as one of the
heirs to the large estate. Copies of the
will are to be sent to Mr.. Morehouse
within the next few days. Mr.. More
house did not work at the postoffice
today as he was too busy writing let
tiers to attend the regular calls Of his
work, but he will be back on the job
on THURSDAY or Friday.
Louis Morehouse, known as the
Father of San Leandro,'' was an old
Kenosha county man. He was widely
known to the people residing on the
southwest limits of the county. He
left this county years ago-more than
fifty years ago-and was one Of the
first Kenosha county men to make the
trip across the plains to the gold fields
of California. He found fortune in his
search for gold and later removed to
San Leandro He had no children. At
the time of his death he was president
of the First National Bank at San Lee
andre and an official of many other in
stitutions in the growing California
city. It is understood that nearly az
of his wealth had been invested in or
about San Leandro. He was venerated
by the people Of the city and under
the provisions of his will eight be-
quests of one thousand dollars each
were left to friends in that city. The
remainder Of the estate is left for divi-
sion between A, R. Morehouse Of this
city and another nephew.
Some estimates Of the estate place
its value as high as 100000 Mr..
Morehouse declared that he did not be-
lieve his portion Of the estate would be
less than $4,000 and it may be greatly
in excess of this amount.
The fortunate heir to the estate has
been connected with the carrier depart
ment of the Kenosha postoffice for
many years. He has also been active
in Kenosha organizations and has been
secretary of the Moose for a long time.
He will 60 to San Leandro later when
the hearing on the probate of the will
is held.

SCHOOL TO BE INDEPENDENT
Proposed Bristol-P Paris Union High
School Not Under any Other School

The proposed Bristol Union High
School on the erection of which the peo-
pie of the two towns are to vote on the
thirteenth of this month, is going to be
an Independent high school. 1t will
not be under the jurisdiction of any
other high school in the county and it
will be of a standard which will make
it possible for it to issue diplomas
which will be accepted as entrance
tests for entrance to the normal schools
of tie state. The people of the two
towns seem to be enthusiastic over the
plan and it is expected that the vote
in favor of the school will be very
large. There has been no opposition
to the movement developed and the
friends of the proposed high school are
worl ing very hard to secure favor
able vote on the question.
