AMERICAN TRADE IN DANGER.
Merchants Urged to Extend Time
for Payment Of Goods.


American merchants may lose a large
part Of the new trade developed by the
European war unless they take steps to
extend the time given for payment of
goods sold abroad. according to an opin-
lon expressed In oficial circles yesterday.
1t was pointed out that the action of
the Federal Reserve Board in modifying
the regulations a. to the rsdiscount Of
bankers acceptances was designed to
meet this situation. Authority now Ii
given for renewing acceptances, under
certain rules. which It is expected will
permit the granting Of time extensions
TO foreign buyers.
The acceptance IL a favorite means of
taking care Of exports and imports in
Europe and South America, and the Fed
eral Reserve Board, It Is understood. feels
that with some Of the old restrictions
removed merchants and bankers In this
country can use the acceptance to much
greater advsntaos n international COM

PURSE CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
Unknown Woman from Kenosha Loses
Purse at Railway Station in
Racine on Sunday.

AS the 4:30 O'Clock North Western
passenger train rolled across West
street, Racine, Sunday afternoon, an
unknown Kenosha woman carelessly
allowed her purse to fall out of a coach
window. She screamed when the purse
slipped from her grasp and the entire
coach was in an uproar in an instant,
some. of the passengers thought she had
been injured and hurried to her seat.
When she explained what had occurred
the excitement subsidized but all the pas
sengers watched with interest subse-
quent developments. When the train
stopped at the station the woman hur-
ried to the platform and informed Of
ficer Tony Marks of what had occurred.
Tony FASTENED north along the tracks
and reached West street just in time
to see a man pick up an object which
proved to be the lost purse. He turned
it over to the officer who hurried back
to the station just in time to hand the
purse to the lady who was standing on
the steps of the rear car as the train
pulled out.

LEAVE DEPUTIES ALONE.
Is Advice of Oil Commissioner B. Mo-
ran-He Says Reduction Will
Mean Increased Expenses.

Former Assemblyman B. n. Moran of
Rhlnelander, who succeeded Louis f.
Meyer of Milwaukee as state super
visor of inspectors of Illuminating oils,
today issued statement showing that
the work done by his department dur
ing the three months ending November
l was much larger than that done DUR
ing the corresponding months in 1914.
The increase in the amount of oil in
spected during the last three months
as compared with that of the CORES
ponding period last year was 20,7S7
barrels of kerosene and 44,761 barrels
iof gasoline or total of 65,49S barrels.
The total receipts for the last three
months were $29,939.22 and the total
disbursements $16,994.71, leaving bal
ance of $11,954.51, which with such adj
ditional surplus as may accumulate by
the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1916,
will be turned into the general fund of
the state treasury for general state use.
In accordance with decision of the
United States supreme court that state
inspection fees must not exceed by an
unreasonable amount the actual cost of
inspection, the last Wisconsin legisla-
ture passed law reducing the oil in
spection fee from ten to seven cents per
barrel. The law went into effect on
August IA, and it naturally resulted in
decreasing the receipts of the depart
ment. Under the old fee of ten cents
a barrel the receipts for the last three
months would have amounted to $40.
521.30 and the surplus in excess of dis
bursements to $23,536.59
The average cost of inspection per
barrel Of oil during the last fiscal year
was So cents, while during the last
three months it was only AZ cents, a
saving to the state of l cent for each
barrel inspected.
State Inspector Moran is now at work
ON a plan for redistricting the state
whereby he expects to be able to reduce
his force of deputy inspectors from
ffty-two to forty-six or less This, he
believes, will effect still greater saw
inc in the cost of inspection, and will
not lessen the efficiency of the depart
ment. In making the proposed changes
in districts Mr.. Moran would, he said,
be entirely guided by considerations of
efficiency and economy, giving the PEG
Iple the highest degree of protection
against danger and fraud and the oil
companies who pay the entire cost of
maintaining his department prompt and
competent service. In some part of the
state it would, Mr.. Moran said, be in
advisable to reduce the number of depu
ties as the increased expenses of the
remaining deputies would more than
offset any saving in salary.

SEEK AID IN KENosHA.
Officials of Madison Would Test the
Corstitutionality of Highway
Aid in the Courts.


The common council of the city Of
( nosha is to be asked to join with
the officials of the city Of Madison in
an effort to test the constitutionality
OF the state aid for highway law The
Madison officials hold that it is unfair
and illegal to tax city for the build
ing Of highways entirely outside their
limits. The Madison officials are plan
ming to bring an action to test the law
IN the circuit court Of Dane county
with the understanding that the case
is to be carried to the highest courts
of the nation. Madison believes that
officials of other cities should pay a
part Of the cost of this litigation.
There is no sentiment in Kenosha
against the law and it is improbable
that there will be any action taken by
the council to make the city of Keno
sha party to the test case Fer the
most part the local officials have been
favorable to the building of permanent
roads with the idea that permanent
roads is big asset to the city IN that
it makes it easy for people to come to
the city to trade.

HONESTY BASIS OF SUCCESS
Edward Skinner in Talk Monday Night
to High School Boys Tells Them
Qualities Necessary to Win
In Work of the World.

ITO win in business, play fair, play
hard, keep mind and body clean, and
the same as in football-KEEP YOUR
EYE ON THE BALL. is the closing
sentence in one of the best talks to
boys which has been delivered in Ke-
nosha. 1t was delivered by Edward NJ.
Skinner, president of the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce, under the auspices
OF the high school parent-teacher asso-
citation Monday night in the high school.
Mr.. Skinner looked at his subject
from two angles. One was that Of the
boy, for Mr.. Skinner started at work
early and, as he said, he had to make
good. He climbed from the bottom to
the place where he is now hiring the
boy, instead of being the boy that is
hired.
Consider well at the start what are
your natural qualifications and to what
your inclinations lead you before you
make your choice of business was the
first weighty piece Of advice given the
boy about to embark into the world of
work

DAUGHTER HAS A CLOSE CALL
Mother Is Taken to the Hospital With
Fractured Wrist and Many Bad
Bruises and Son Is Picked Up In
Partial Conscious Condition.


Mrs. Paul Carney, aged 81 years, a
prominent woman of the Russell neigh
borhood is in the Kenosha hospital
suffering from very serious injuries
which she received late Monday after
noon as a result of a runaway accident
lat the corner of Park and Fourth
streets. Her son, Paul Carney, % years
Iof age was also injured in the same
accident but he had recovered sufi-
GENTLY to be discharged from the hos
ipital late Monday evening. Miss Car
ney, daughter, who was also in the
buggy at the time Of the accident was
thrown to the pavement but she es-
capped with slight bruises. The mother
is suffering from fracture Of the left
arm at the wrist, q severe cut over the
right eye, badly lacerated nose and
many other cuts and bruises and she
will probably be laid up for some
weeks.
The members of the Carney family
had spent the day in Kenosha and they
were starting for their home when the
runaway accident occurred Paul Car
Iney was driving the horse and he was
coming east on Park street when one
Of the shafts Of the buggy broke and
the horse became frightened and start
ed to run. Young Carney showed great
presence of mind and managed to keep
hold of the lines and had the horse I'M
Ider partial control until the corner of
Park and Fourth streets was reached
when the horse leaped to the side ,of the
road and the buggy striking the curb
it was over turned. Carney, his moth
er and sister were all thrown to the
hard brick pavement and the belongings
of the family scattered along the street
for several blocks. Carney was uncon-
scious when he was picked up and it
was at first reported that he had suffer
ed fractured skull Mrs. Carney was
dazed and covered with blood but Miss
Carney in some unaccountable way was
mot injured. The police ambulance was
called and all of the members of the
party hurried to the hospital where DR..
FL. A. Robinson was called to attend
them. It was found that Carney had
not suffered any permanent injury. He
had several bad bruises but no broken
bbones and the surgeons gave their at
Mention to his mother who suffered great
pain from the fractured wrist and other
injuries. After the people had been
thrown out of the buggy the horse man
aged to break away from the vehicle
land he was caught near the railway
tracks on Park street. The buggy was
badly demolished
A great crowd of people gathered at
the scene of the accident and the re-
port gained general circulation that
Mrs. Carney and her son had been in
jured IN collision between an automo-
bile and the vehicle in which they had
been riding. This, was an error and
there was no automobile on the street
at the time of the accident.
Doctors attending Mrs. Carney de-
clared that she would probably be at
the hospital for several weeks as a re-
suit of the accident.
