HAD RUN INTO A CARRIAGE
Kenosha Motorcycle Deputy Turns Pris-
oner Over to Racine Officials After
Running Fifty Miles an Hour and
Firing Two Shots.

Fritz Rudy, the north shore motor
cycle cop, used his gun just before
midnight last night in order to bring
to a halt a persistent speeder The
man was liner Jacobsen of Racine, said
to be employed by the Mitchell Motor
Car Company. After two shots from
the revolver of Rudy, Jacobsen stopped
his car and then Rudy turned him over
to the officials Of Racine county.
The chase for jacobsen proved one
real exciting feature Of life on the
north shore road. Jacobsen had start
ed out from Racine early in the even
Ing, but it was pretty close to mid
night when he was rounded up by
Rudy. Just outside of Racine he ram
med into a two seated carriage driven
by John Larson, who lives on the Bebe
farm in Racine county. Jacobsen had
evidently not intended to make any
settlement with Larson, who with his
wife and children, had been dumped
into the road and he started off at a
high rate of speed for Kenosha.
Thomas Piper gave chase with an au-
tomobile. AS Jacobsen passed Central
Park Rudy dropped in behind him and
watched him, but be did not exceed
the speed limit and when he turned off
at the Birch road Rudy started back
toward the park. !" Get that fellow /"
shouted Piper, as he passed Rudy in
the road and Rudy turned his motor
cycle about and gave chase.
Jacobsen had big lead but Rudy
managed to pick him up on the west
road and then Jacobsen cut loose and
he ran some. He managed to get out
side of Kenosha county and got back

of the two girls being struck by his
automobile shouted to them. The com
panion of Miss Rosseau jumped out of
the path of the automobile but Miss
Rosseau appeared to be confused and
she started to turn back and stepped
directly in front of the car. She was
thrown to the pavement and dragged
for a short distance. It was impossi-
BILE to say whether or not the wheels
of the automobile passed over any por-
ton of her body. She was thrown
against the curb and harrington stop
ped his car almost within a car length.
The young woman was bleeding pro-
fnsely from a cut in her leg and ap-
peared to be in great pain. She was
taken to the Kenoshs hospital in an
automobile and Harrington hurried to
the hospital and directed that she be
given every possible attention. DIR.
Palm was called to attend her and he
found that her back and shoulders had
been very badly bruised and that there
was a bad cut and bruise on her leg.
No bones were broken. DR.. McCracken
was called to aid in the treatment of
the young woman. "Miss Rosseau had
a very narrow escape, said DIR. Palm
this morning, "But l do not think that
her injuries will prove of a very ser
ious nature and / anticipate that she
viii be able to leave the hospital in a
short time.'
IL regret deeply the injury of the
young woman" said Mr.. Harrington,
but 1 did all in my power to prevent
her being struck by the automobile.
She jumped in front of the car and ]
could not have saved her from injury
The car was not running faster than
FIVE or six miles an hour and | had
footed the horn for some distance.
3 The story of the accident as told by
harrington is borne out by the report
Of it made at the police Office.

The Lake county officials are widen
ing the embankment north of the Kel-
logg farm on the shore road but the
permanent bridge is not to be built UNI
til next year. While the numerous ac-
cidents that take place at this point are
due to careless or unskillful driving
the officials are doing what they can to
insure the county against damage
claims by making these changes in the
roadbed There have been more acct
dents at this embankment than at any
other one place in the country.

Miss Bertha Rosseau, Is years of age
and an employee of the Cooper Under

and cuts at the corner of Rowland and
Prairie avenues on Monday night just
after six o. clock when she was run
down and possibly run over by an auto
mobile driven by Henry Harrington.
At the time of the accident the
report spread throughout the city that
the young woman, who is widely known
had sustained fatal injuries but at the
Kenosha hospital, where she was taken
following the accident, it is stated that
her injuries while painful are in no
way dangerous and it is expected that
she will be able to leave the hospital
within a week or ten days. The injury
of the young woman came just as big

BLUE BOOK REACHES KENosHA
New State Publication Has Many
Things to Recommend Present Issue


Copies of the Wisconsin Blue Book,
the official publication of the state,
have reached Kenosha and the book is
more attractive than in former years.
While there has been material re-
duetion in the amount of matter con
tanned in the book it still contains
everything that is pertinent IN eonnec-
ton with the government of the state.
There is usually large amount of in
formation in regard to the state officials
and lot of things in regard to the en-
forcement of the laws of the state. The
books are being distributed through
the assemblyman and senator from the
district. 1t is understood that about
fifty copies will be available for dis
tribution in Kenosha county and most
of these win find their way into the
hands of county and city officials.

The test of the new boxing law which
puts the control of the shows in the
hands of the common council will come
with the first show held under the new
rules. The council must issue permit
before any show can be held and the
city officials are responsible Ior the
maintenance of order at the show and
all of the details Of the exhibition. All
that the state boxing commission does
under the new law is to act in an FAD
.visory'' capacity and collect the state S
five per cent of the proceeds. If the
local men interested in the boxing game
want shows held in Kenosha it is up
TO them to make good. The council
will probably issue permit to respons-
ible local men but this city is not to
be made dumping ground for Chicago
promoters any longer. The first show
held will probably settle. the question
of whether or not Kenosha is to have
these boxing matches for long time to
come.

In it's attitude toward the automo-
bile, the United States government,
generally speaking, has been rather too
conservative. This fact has been espec-
tally noticeable in the postal service
and in the management of the great
national parks, It has only just been
announced that motor cars are to be
used in rural delivery. Automobile
tourists have been in the past either
refused admission to the national parks
or have been compelled to confne their
trips within certain limits and to roads
that have merely skirted the pictur-
esque regions Of the reservations. There
has recently been some relaxation of the
rules governing private automobiles in
the Yosemite and Glacier parks; an or
der to the effect that on August ] Vel
lowstone park is to be thrown open to
motor tourists, has given great salts
faction to that large section of the
public which is particularly interested
1t is easy to agree with Secretary Lane
in the opinion that the new policy will
multiply the number of visitors to Vel
loWstone park annually. There is com
mendable regard for timeliness in the
order, also, this being summer in
which thousands of Americans are en-
gagged in seeing America for the first

Old Law Is Repealed

During the last days of the session
the old county board of education law
was repealed and there was substituted
in its place a committee of common
schools consisting of three persons to
be appointed by the county board of
supervisors. This bill provides that
the county board of supervisors must
fix the salary of the county superin-
tmdent, must grant him all his print
ing, postage and expenses and may pro-
wide clerk to assist him in his office.
The committee on common schools
must, on the nomination of the county
superintendent, appoint one supervis-
ing teacher in each county, and two
where there are more than 125 schools
under the direction of the county super
intendent. The salary and travelling
expenses Of the supervising teachers
are to be paid by the state.
The Bennett bill for the state aid
to rural school teachers is still in the
hands of the governor, but as he rec
commended it in his special message
to the legislature, there is no doubt
about his approval of it. In this law
are provision to encourage high school
graduates to take special training be-
fore entering rural school work.

Larson carriage and then Rudy turned

to mention the arrival of new

near election day caused the happy

but that his present occupation
indicates that he may become a

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1915.

Bradstreet' is authority for the
statement that only three per cent
of men who go into business for
themselves are successful. 1t is
safe to assume that the proportion
: of successes in other fields, art,
music, authorship, politics, social
work, etcetera, is as small. The
failures are made so through
FEAR. Fear of consequences,
fear of the future, fear that we
cannot finish successfully what we
begin, fear of our opponent, un-
necessary, illogical fear stands be-
tween us and success, and with an
apparently impossible arm bars
our progress. Those whom fear
rules we call "Fear men," because
they are not really men at all, but
men requiring classification-an
apology. There has hardly been
time in American history when
men were called on more to over
come their fear than at the present
time. Moral strength is needed in
politics more than ever before,
and moral strength is as far su-
perior to physical strength as the
spiritual is above the natural. 1t
is told of Wellington that, before
the battle of Waterloo, his knees
shook so that he laughed and
called attention to them, saying:
eff they knew where | was going
to carry them, they would shake
much worse" That was moral
courage overcoming physical fear,
and this is the courage that men
must have now if America is to go
onward and upward. We must
have moral courage to overcome
the selfish persuasion of the poll
tician, who seeks his own advance
ment regardless Of the public
good. Courage is needed to over
come the fear that organizations
and societies and leagues cause by
their tactics of force and threats
in their efforts to enforce morality
by law. Moral courage is neces-
sary to make men follow the die
tates of their own conscience, re-
gardless of the arguments OF poll
ticians, ministers, leagues or lndl-
viduals. The time has come for
American men to throw off the
fetters of fear-to come out boldly
for what they believe, to refuse to
follow the selfish, money grasping
politicians or organization and to
stand strongly for progress,
liberty, decency and social liberty.
