sCHOLEY WANTS DAMAGES.
superintendent of Janitors in the City
Schools Files Claim Against
the County.

Joseph Scholey, superintendent of
Janitors in the schools of Kenosha has
filed formal claim against the county
of Kenosha demanding damages to the
amount of $3.50. The claim is the re-
suit of an accident which occurred on
the Burlington road on the afternoon of
March 18th when small automobile
driven by Scholey went off the nine-foot
roadway into the ditch. Scholey de-
clares that the damages to the machine
amount to $50 and he claims hundred
dollars for the injuries to himself. He
asserts that the nine-foot road main
tanned by the county is not sufficiently
wide to be safe. 1t is probable that
the claim will have to be disposed Of by
al action in court. The members of the
road committee today declare that Shey
believed the road to be entirely safe
and it is improbable that they will rec
ommend the payment of any damages.

GASOLINE SHORTAGE
Pure MYTH, REPORT
Increased Production Over 1915
Is Enormous.

Washington, April 11.-There were
100, 021,79 barrels Of crude petroleum
held in February, 1916, as against 69,-
1913, 242 held in February, 1915, and
the production. of gasoline increased
from 76,663,537 gallons in January,
1916, to 97,056,217 gallons in Decem-
Der.
These startling figures contradicting
reports of a decreased supply of pc
troleum were sent to the senate by
the federal trade commission in a re-
port on it's soaring prices.
Another feature of the preliminary
report was the wide variance shown
in gasoline price increase, as com
pared with the rise of crude oil. Case.
line rose 4.S8 cents a gallon in 1915
for middle west ref1neries and $50 for
eastern while crude oil was advanc-
ing only LII and 1.55 respectively for
the same sections.
Fifteen per cent of the total produc.
ton of gasoline, the report said, is
exported.

RECORD CLASS CONFIRMED.
at st. Matthew'S Church Sunday
Forty-Five are Confirmed.

Forty-fve candidates for confrma-
ton were presented to the Rt. Rev. W.
w. Webb, bishop of the diocese of Mil
waukee upon his visit to st. Matthew 8
church Sunday morning, and these were
confirmed. This is the largest class
ever confirmed in st. Matthew s church.
The church itself was filled to an ex-
tent where half hundred of the wor-
shippers had to remain standing for
lack of seats.
'There would be no virtue if there
were no vice." said the bishop in his
sermon on Temptation, delivered
after the confirmation services.
'FThere could be no such thing as
goodness unless there were badness, -
he continued.
Temptation il not in. itself sin.
only the yielding to it. Temptation is
common to us all. Each has his own
besetting temptation and the help for
it is the grace of God. But tempta-
tion is necessary for the development
of character" The bishop told his
hearers there is always way of es-
Gaping from temptation.
The bishop was the guest of the Rev.
Fred Ingley in the st. Matthew's par
sonage during his visit in Kenosha.

MANY MIL WkUKEEANS LOST
But Three Members Of Passenger List
of Steamer Survived Fire Caused by
Carelessness Of Steward Who Was
Burned to Death on Steamer.

Forty eight years ago there was just
such a Sunday as yesterday. Older
residents of the city recalled that fact
this morning when they told again the
story of the burning of the steamer
"Seabird' Of the Goodrich line which
was burned off Kenosha on the after
noon of April 8, 1868. She was in
charge of Captain John Morrison of
Milwaukee and was on her way to Chi
cago when she burned. Older people of
the city recall the burning of the
steamer. After the fire the steamer
sunk, leaving but three Of the passen-
gers to recount the narrowing details
of the fire
Lowell Lincoln, the first white child
born in Lowell, Mass, who for many
years conducted commercial college
in Milwaukee, was among the more
widely known passengers on board.
Others were George B. Davidson of the
custom house; Edwin Neighbor, clerk
for FL. G. Payne and company; c. H.
Abbott, bookkeeper for Blanchard &
Arnold.
Because the life boats could not be
lowered, the passengers, of whom there
were about forty, among them eight
women and ten children, were left to
their fate The icy depths claimed
those who jumped overheard with life
preservers, doors or planks.

Sheboygan, Wis, was found by the
crew of the passing schooner, Cordelia

That night at s O'Clock, James II.
Leonard of Port Washington, Wis,
chung to part of paddle and was wash
ed ashore three miles north of Evans
ton, Ill. He climbed a bluff and crawl
ed to farmhouse.
The fire was said to be due to the
carelessness of a porter who threw a
scuttle of live coal overheard. The
wind blew the sparks into straw, used
as packing around shipment of wood
en- pals, and the boat soon was afame.
