GUESTS FOR DANCE IN PERIL
Both Cars Are Wrecked and Nine Men
Have a Narrow Escape From Injury
One Man Has Slight Cut on Ills
Hand as Result of the Accident.

Kenosha had two less "jitney''
buses on Sunday than it had late
Saturday night as just before midnight
Saturday night jitney owned by Gen
tile Brothers, collided with one owned
by A. F. Dunnebacke on the Ashland
avenue road, a mile south Of the city.
In the collision it is declared that no
less than ten people had narrow es-
capes from injury but only one of the
passengers was in any way injured and
he had a slight cut on the hand.
The Gentle brothers jitney had
taken a load of young men out to the
Maple Inn where dance was in pro-
gress and it was on its way back to
the city when the collision took place.
The other iitney in which the police re-
ports state there were eight passengers,
was going south at good rate of speed
and when the two cars met all Of the
passengers were thrown out. The wind
shields on both cars were broken and
the glass fell about the passengers and
drivers like rain, but they were lucky
enough to escape without injury. A
report of the collision was sent to the
police Office and Chief o Hare and one
OF his men went out to make an in
vestigation. They found nothing to
warrant any action on the part of the
police. Both of the automobiles had
been badly damaged in the collision.
One of them had a broken axle and the
other was almost as badly damaged.
The two automobiles were lowed into
the city on Sunday morning, but it will
probably be some time before they are
in condition to begin collecting the
nickles again.
Efforts to get list of the passengers
In the cars failed. In the Gentle bus
there was no one except the driver and
he insists that he was driving back to
the city at a reasonable rate of speed
The eight passengers in the other car
had been picked up at various points
along the street and the driver could
not give the names of any CT them.
By the time the police reached the
scene Of the collision the passengers
had brushed off their clothes and hur-
ried away to the dance.
Licensing Of jitney cars is going to
be a matter to come before the council
in a very short time. There are now no
less than fifteen jitney buses in opera
ton in the city and the police are
anxious to secure some sort of a regis
tration OF these vehicles in order to
keep some kind of supervision over
them. In other cities the iitneys are
licensed and it is thought that Kenosha
can pass an ordinance with the same
provision.
1t is declared that the jitney buses
are playing havoc with the business of
the street railway company and on the
rainy Sunday morning it is declared
that more passengers rode in the tit
neys than took the street cars. New
cars are being put into service as lit
neys every day and the service is now
being extended to every part of the
city.

Automobile Driven by Fred GIeichnann

Fred Gleichmann had a narrow es.
cape from death and injury on Thurs.
day afternoon just after four CLOCK
when the automobile which he was driv.
ing was struck by train on the North
western tracks at the corner of How
land avenue and Market street. Gleich.

clares that the Waterman at the cross.
ing paid no attention to his danger and
he ran onto the track before he saw the
train. He attempted to reverse the lev
ers of the car and back off the track.
but the end Of the box car struck the
automobile and carried it some thirty.
five feet west of the crossing on the
railway tracks. Gleichmann remained
at the wheel and although the automo.
bile was badly damaged he suffered nc
severe injury. Gleichmann declared this
morning that he woud make demand
for damages against the company and
that he had been told that a reasonable
claim would be settled at once. The
Rowland avenue crossing is a bad cross
ing and the need of gates there has
been shown on several occasions.

The United States Public Service is
sues the following.

The United States Public Service is
sues the following:
Drug addiction is very common in
this country, and constitutes menace
to the nation, according to an article
in the Public Health Reports for March
19, 1915, which reviews the efforts
made to lessen the abuse of habit-form-
ing drugs and analyses the Federal and
State laws restricting or regulating the
distribution and use of opium, coca, and
other narcotic and habit-forming drugs.
The abuse of narcotic drugs involves
economic, social, moral and public
health questions that collectively con-
stitute one of the most serious problems
before the people of the United States
today.
In New York and several other states
drug addiction is regarded as disease
and these states have provided syste-
matte treatment for those addicted to
the use of drugs, while in Michigan
such person may be adjudged incom-
petent and guardian appointed A
law recently enacted in Tennessee per-
mits the sale Of narcotics to drug adj
diets registered according to the law.
Similar laws exist in other states. but
the New York law for treatment of
drug addicts is considered the better
measure.
The principal shortcomings of the
present laws are that no method of en-
forcement is outlined and no specifc
appropriations are made for their en-
forcement.
In order to bring about a uniformity
IN the enactment and enforcement of
anti-narcotic laws, those who are inter
ested in the subject should make care
ful comparative study of the existing
laws to determine the reasons for tbe
inadequacy Of these laws. Statistics
should be com sled showing the nature
and extent of the use of habit FORMING
drugs and earnest efforts should he
made to secure uniform legislation
which will prevent the misuse of such
drugs.
The solution of the drug problem will
De wei worth the thought and expense
required and all who are interested in
1ne welfare Of the American people
should give their support to the new
Federal anti-narcotic law which aims to
reduce the number of drug addicts and
TO remove the temptation from others

house and another would increase the
rate of nonresident high school tuition
fees. Assemblyman Nordman has bill
which will compel the superintendent
OF public property to send a Blue Book
to every school district in the state.
The state affairs committee has Just I'M
favorably reported the Hart bill for
legislative investigation of the subject
of teachers pensions and it is under
stood that substitute is being drawn
to the Van Gorden bill creating a CEN
trail board OF education to manage the
university, normal schools, Stout man
ual training school and the training
school.
Among the other educational bills of
Importance are measures to increase
from 10 to 30 the number of high
schools which may receive state aid for

SEEK RACINE MAN HERE.
John Silverman Who Disappeared Fri
day, Thought to be In Kenosha.

The local police have received re-
quest from Racine asking that they
make an effort to get some trace Of
John Silverman, sixty years Of age and
well known resident Of Racine, who
disappeared from his home on last Fri
day evening. The old man is thought
to have met with foul play. At the
time he left Racine he carried some
sixty dollars in money in his pocket.
No trace Of Silverman has been found
In Kenosha. 1t is declared that he has
been known to people in this city for
years, but none of the people who knew
him has seen him during the past few
days. A son of Silverman was in Ke-
nosha today personally conducting the
search for his father, but he found
nothing to indicate that Silverman was
in Kenosha or that he had been here
since his strange disappearance from
Racine

NAMES TRUSTEE FOR CARPENTER
Judge Geiger Fixes Bond of $4,000
Retains Same Law Firm in Case.

+ J. Miller Of Racine was on Satur-
day appointed by Judge Geiger Of the
federal court, Milwaukee, as trustee for
Charles r. Carpenter, who filled a vol
untary petition in bankruptcy in the
United States court on Friday. His
bond was fixed at $4,000. He has re-
tanned the law firm of Lines, Spooner,
Ellis and Quarles as attorneys. It was
this firm which has been representing
Mr.. Carpenter in endeavoring to effect
settlement with his creditors. Esti-
mates of the available assets of Mr..
Carpenter made by business men of Ra-
cine today varied from $4,000 to
$4,000. Many Of them declared that
the $4,000 figure was probably more
than could be realized. The small
amount of bond required by the feder-
al judge indicates that the court CON
siders that the amount to be realized
from the assets will be small.
