DE cOU NAMED As DIRECTOR
Company Plans TO Send Out Big Line of
Trucks Including Fire Apparatus to
Be Built In Partnership With
the Peter Pirsch Company.

The Whittier Motor Truck Company
have today announced their plans for
the future, the organization having
been perfected, the officers and direc-
tors have been chosen for this new
motor truck company. The officers are:
President and general manager, Martin
P. Whittier; vice president and factory
manager, William Martinson; secre-
tary, treasurer and sales manager,
Waltor D. Rightmire; directors, Martin
P. Whittier, Walter d. Rightmire, Will
liam Martinson, J. w. DeCou, Walter
M. Burke.
A two hundred thousand dollar stock
issue of seven per cent cumulative pre-
ferred stock has been put on the mar
ket and is being fast taken up. A
great deal of this stock has been vol
unfairly subscribed by local men in the
factories and in business here.
The fact that this company is going
to build line of rear driven motor
trucks of the highest grade of material
obtainable, and that they will buy com
pleted units and assemble only, makes
this proposition a really inviting one.
Larger profits and quicker growth has
been recorded in assembling than in
manufacturing of motor trucks.
They have secured Offices for occu-
pancy January 1st in the Public Serv-
ice Building and factory containing
twenty-five thousand square feet Of
floor space located at Winthrop Harbor

11s Chestnut street, Jamaica Plains,
just out of Boston
Investigations were made by Of
fcials Of the Homes Company just af
ter the accident. These revealed the
fact that the crossing was improperly
protected. There was freight train
standing on the side track just north
of the crossing and it made it impos-
sible for any one coming from the
west to see the approach of train
from the north. The gateman declared
that the east gate at the crossing
was down, but it was evident that
the west gate was not down as it was
not broken in any way.
Coroner Millager will hold an in
quest probably Saturday afternoon
with the view Of fixing the blame for
the accident.
When Mr. Muller left his office on
the fatal trip Alderman Conrad Shear
er was a passenger in the car with
him and Alderman Shearer rode west
with him to the plant Of the Nash
Motors Company. On the way out the
alderman was driving the car and the
two men discussed its operation. "The
important thing in operating an auto
mobile, T" said Shearer, "is TO be able
to stop right on the dot. Muller
laughed about the injunction and he
told Shearer to try it out STOPPING at
hitching post along Park street.
Shearer made the stop. Now when
you go east you are in danger
at the railway crossings continued
the alderman. Muller laughed again
at the suggestion Of caution and after
dropping Shearer at the Nash offices
he went on over to the Homes Company
subdivision. Shearer took another car
at the Cooper plant and came down
town. At the Park street crossing the
automobile was stopped just in time to
prevent it being struck by the train
which struck the automobile in which
Muller was. riding and caused the
fatal accident
Mrs. Muller, mother of the young
man, is on her way to Kenosha from
Boston and she is expected to arrive
here late tonight or early Saturday
morning. The sister of Muller was
notified Of his death by telephone this
morning, but his mother will not be
advised of the fact until after she
reaches Kenosha.

FORMERLY VISITED HERE
Young Woman Went on Fatal Ride
With Sweetheart and Both Found
Dead in Automobile = Police Say
Murder and Suicide the Solution.


Miss Elyina Heup, sister of George
w. Heup, former well known insurance
man Of Kenosha, and herself well
known to many Of the younger people
Of the city, was found dead in an auto
mobile ON the Port Washington road
out Of Milwaukee, on Saturday morn
ing. With her was David Bersansky,
a Milwaukee man. Both had been shot
through the head and after an investi-
cation of the tragedy it was declared
by Milwaukee police that Bersansky
had murdered the young woman and
then taken his own life The body of
Miss Heup was identified by her broth
er. He declared that his sister had
refused to accept the engagement for
marriage offered to her by Bersansky.
Tt was asserted that they had differed
on the question of religion. Both the
man and the girl had been dead for
several hours when the bodies were
found and it is thought that the grim
tragedy was enacted some time in the
early hours Of Saturday morning.
Miss Heup and Bersansky had been
friends for more than year. One of
their close personal friends asserted
that they had been married at Wauke-
gan in September but search Of the
records at the state line city failed to
reveal the fact that any license for
their marriage had been issued. Last
Friday night just after nine o'clock
Miss Heup and Bersansky left Milwau-
kee on the death trip in borrowed
automobile. Bersansky had been a
former jitney driver and he had Dor
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-12-14

rowed a small automobile from one of
his friends.
The young woman had made no state
ment to close friends in regard to
where she was going for the evening.
There was some evidence of suicide
pact, but after the investigation made
by the police they declared that they
believed Bersansky had murdered the
young woman and then taken his
own life.
Miss Heup lived at Sherwood, Wis,
but during the years that her brother
was a resident of Kenosha she spent
much of her time in Kenosha She
is remembered here as charming lit
tie girl of unusual beauty.
The remains were taken to the old
home at Sherwood for burial today.
It is improbable that there will be
further investigation into the case in
Milwaukee as members of both of the
families seemed to be willing to attri-
butte the tragedy to the romantic feel
ing between the young people.

use until a new building can be built
to take care Of the large production
assured this new company.
Men started work today putting the
factory at Winthrop Harbor in first
class shape so that operation can be-
gin as soon as materials are obtained.
The fact that the officers of this com
pany are well known in the automo-
bile and truck industry has enabled
them to contract for parts with an as
surance of certain delivery. They are
also assured the disposition of all the
trucks they can make as the demand for
three and one-half and five ton trucks
are exceeding the supply at present. 1t is
planned to build two to two and one
half ton, a three to three and half
ton and five to six ton line of models
of the rear driven type. tt has been
supposed by many that these trucks
would be Four Wheel Driven, but this
is not the case. Rapid progress is be-
ing made, and models are at present
being built. The experiences of. the
men in this company on the Mexican
border will enable them to avoid mis-
takes that truck builders of The past
have made, and this should assure
success to this new company from
the start.
The trade name of this line of motor
trucks will be "Winther. -
In designing this line Of motor trucks
consideration has been made of the
shortage in chassis for motor driven
fire apparatus, and provisions have
been made so that any of the standard
chassis can be easily equipped with
large six cylinder motors and fire
pumps RANGING fom $50 to 1000 gal
Ions per minute. The equipment will
be supplied by Peter Pirsch who is
positively the oldest and best known
fire apparatus builder in this country.
The fire apparatus will be marketed I'M
der the name of "Pirsch- Whittier. /"
The fact that self locking differen-
tials and high grade high speed motors
will be used on all the models puts
them into a class by themselves for
use as fire apparatus.
