white sox'' Spends Couple of
Hours With Kenosha Friends

Charles Comiskey of Chicago, the

White Sox and the one real hero Of

easy stages back to Chicago. They
stopped over with Ed Dayton while in
Kenosha and they just had to go round
and meet some of the old timers of the

SALOON MAN AS ADEFENDlNT
Attorneys for Relatives of Pike Notify
Attorneys for Charles Murray They
Will Demand Big Sum Because Man
Drank in Pleasant Prairie Saloon.

The life of Dan Pike, former we'll
known man about town at Waukegan,
who was killed just north of the state
line on the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway on last Friday night,
is valued by his relatives at twenty
thousand dollars.
According to announcements made
today two suits for ten thousand dol
lars each, will be fled in the Circuit
Court for Kenosha county tomorrow.
E. V. Orvis of Waukegan, represents
the heirs of Pike in the two actions.
One of the suits is to be fled against
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway Company. It is the ordinary
suit for damages which follows grade
crossing accidents. The other is I'M
usual. 1t names Charles Murray and
his son, Patrick Murray, of Pleasant
Prairie, as defendants. Murray and
his son are the owners of saloon at
the state line and it is claimed that
Pike was drinking in this saloon only
short time before he went on the
tracks of the electric railway and was
ground to pieces. Attorney Jorgenson
of Waukegan, has been retained to
represent Murray and his son in
the litigst;on.
81 have been advised by the attor-
neys for the heirs of Pike that these
two suits will be fled in the Circuit
Court for Kenosha county tomorrow, "
said Mr.. Jorgensen this morning. "To-
day offers of a settlement on behalf of
Murray and his son were made to me
by the heirs of Pike, but we have re-
fused to make any settlement. The
evidence introduced at the coroner's
inquest shows that Pike drank just one
bottle of beer in the Murray saloon
on the night he was killed. He also
bought two bottles Of whiskey at the
saloon but when his body was found
the two bottles of whiskey were
unbroken and not drop had been
taken out of them
While Pike is alleged by the attorney
to have met death in Wisconsin the in
quest was held at Waukegan and the
facts in the case are not well
known here.
The action is unique as it is the first
threat made to demand damages from
a saloon man for the death of a man
who had purchased liquor in his place,
so far as Kenosha county saloons are
concerned. These actions have been
brought in considerable numbers in
Waukegan in recent years and in sew
era1 cases saloon men have been forced
to pay large sums for damages. The
case will be one for the local courts to
blaze trail for other Wisconsin courts.
Attorney Jorgensen said that he
could not say whether or not Pike was
intoxicated when he met fatal injuries
but he insisted that if he was he had
not become intoxicated in the Keno
sha county saloon.
The report that the suit would be
started has caused ar lot of excitement
in the state line neighborhood and it
was the principal topic of converse
tion there today. Local attorneys who
were said to be interested in the case
professed to have no knowledge of the
facts in the matter.

Pleasant Prairie and Somers are 60
ing to take another vote on the ques-
tion of issuing bonds to complete the
roads on the state highway plan in
these towns and after considerable
communication with the attorney gem
eral and the State Highway Commits
sion formal notice has been given that
the matter will be taken up at special
town meeting to be held at the town
halls of the two towns on the after
noon Of September 5th This is pri-
mary day and it is expected that the
vote on the bond issue will result in
the polling of the largest vote ever
known on primary day in either Pleas
ant Prairie or Somers. The town Of
ficials are hopeful that there will be
no legal impediments to the vote on
the bonds this time. The notices for
the election have been prepared in the
Office of the State Highway Commission
after the Attorney General Of the
state was given months TO decide just
what had to be done. On the previous
election at which the bond issues both
carried the people of the two towns
voted by ballot, but under the ruling
of the Attorney General the town
meeting vote with set hour in the
afternoon for taking the vote is said
to be all that is necessary.
The notice announces that the town
of Pleasant Prairie plans for the issue
of road bonds to the amount of
100000. This will furnish the town
with sufficient fund, not only to com
plete the Sheridan drive through the
town, but also with funds for the per-
manent Improvement of all the roads
on the state highway system in that
town. The people of the town are said
to be favorable to the bond issue. At
the former election the bonds were
voted by a considerable margin In
Somers it is proposed to issue bonds to
the amount of 100000, this amount be-
ing sufficient to complete all the work
laid out for that town.
The officials of the two towns are
anxious to have the bond questions de-
cided before the coming November SEES
sion of the County Board as it is ex-
pected that at this meeting county
bonds will be ordered to make I'D the
amount that the county is to pay in
connection with the construction of
the roads in the two towns.
The question is going to be one of
the most interesting to come before
the County Board at the annual SEES.
sion, but it is not thought that there
will be any great opposition to the is
suance of the bonds to take care Of
the county's share of the road. The
board has voted fayorably on the mat
ter at a former session.
Members of the Kenosha Automobile
Club and the Good Roads Clubs of both
Pleasant Prairie and Somers. are ae-
lively engaged in campaign to Sc
cure the issue of the bonds and thew
claim that the overwhelming senti-
ment of the two towns is favorable to
cleaning up the road work now. IF
the bosds are issued by the towns and
the county the work will all be cleaned
up in the spring and summer of 1917

Railroad Men Enthusiastic
Over the Proposed Plans for
Defense of Movable Trains

continued to push on for a consider
allie time longer, they were now on the
march and coull not make more than
five miles a day at the most. And it
vas because of this lack of railroad
lac. titles that the Germans were I'M
successful in "bagging" the greater
part of Grand Duke Nicholas army.
The present strength of the United
States in railroad facilities and our
superiority in this respect to most
countries of the Continent, is unques-
toned. Our railroad lines extend al
ong the entire length of our coasts on
the Atlantic and Pacific. Not until the
present cry for preparedness went up
throughout the country however, was
any attempt made to discover how We
might best use our advantage in this
respect.
A plan to enroll the railroads in
the defense of the country has been
submitted to the Government by Law
renee Luellen and Cecil F. Dawson,
two New York engineers. This scheme
which calls for a mobile railway artil-
| lery system, is now before the War
Department and will soon be taken up
by the military Committees of the
House and Senate as the result of bills
introduced in the respective bodies by
Representatives Capstick of New Jer-
sey and Senator Works, of California
calling for an appropriation of ten mil
lion dollars to test the feasibility OF
the plan.
officers of high standing in the
United States Army, to whom this
plan has been sumbitted for advice
and criticism have declared that the
proposed Luellen- Dawson Mobile arm
ament system is the best of its kind
yet submitted to the Government and
it is expected that when the Congress.
sional Committees begin discussion or
the matter, several members Of the
| Ordnance Department win be asked
as to the practicabiIity of the plan.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-01-30

President Wilson's plan to utilize
the industries of the United States for
the defense of the country, in case of
an emergency, is heartily approved by
the railroad officials who have been
sounded on the subject. They have in
dictated their willingness to place at
the disposal of the government all
data pertaining to their ability to
transport troops and armament to any
given point within a certain length of
time. But how the railroads may be
used to the greatest advantage for our
defense, is a question which now
comes before the War Department and
which it is expected will cause a
great deal of discussion before the
present SESSION of Congress is con-
cluded.
The war now raging in Europe has
demonstrated what a country can dc
with an adequate railroad system. This
was clearly shown in the Russian the
atre Of war during the German adj
vance there last Autumn. 1t will be
remembered that the Germans, as
soon as their ammunition supply was
ample, threw nearly million men
into this campaign and transported
this huge army directly to the front
within a short space of time. AS a
matter of fact this period of time was
so short indeed, that the Russians to-
tally surprised by the strength Of the
opposing forces, had little time to re-
treat and yielded great numbers of
prisoners and some of their largest
calilre guns the first few days of the
advance of the German steam roller"
1t will also be remembered that it
CiG not take the Germans more than q
week to force the Russians back to the
frontier and that the Teuton advance
averaged between ten and fifteen miles
day while their railroads were IL
front of them. This rapid advance was
suddenly retarded when the frontier
was crossed and, although the Teutons

THREE AMERICAS
BOYS OUT Of EXAMS.

This week is examination time at
the Georgia School of Technology, and
naturally, the Worry club has quite a
humber of new members enrolled on
its list, but examinations hold no ter
rors for at least three of the Americas
contingent there, for Raymond Rod
gers, Willie Mcneil and George Ansley
tossed their grips from the train at
the depot and announced that they
we're excused from all examinations.
The records of these three young
men at Tech is a source of much
qualification to their hosts of friends
here and the fact that they were ex-
empt from all examinations is evil
dence enough that heir scholarship

Various railroad heads who were
consulted by the inventors, have de-
clared a willingness to aid the gov
eminent in putting into operation ID
system such as the invention calls for.
These officials, furthermore, assert
that the cost to the government would
prove so inconsequential that it could
weIlN afford to give this matter its due
attention.
AS far as the railroads are concern
ed it is declared that they could cas-
lily transport the fourteen or sixteen
inch guns or mortars which are to be
mounted on railroad cars, from any
given point to another with very few
exceptions. There may be little
trouble in crossing one or two small
bridges along the Atlantic Coast or on
the Pacific, but even this, they declare,
could be remedied by rapidly strength
ing these structures.
The Luellen-Dawson system calls
for the erection of concrete founda-
tions along railroad lines into which
the cars containing the heavy guns
would be run and Immediately locked,
giving accuracy and rapidity of fire.
These foundations, it is proposed,
shall be built several miles apart al
ong our coasts and the inventors de-
clare that, should an enemy succeed
in obtaining the position Of the gun,
the car could be quickly unlocked and
moved on to the next foundation with
in short space of time, locked into its
new position and put into operation
again against the enemy.
In laying down these foundations,
railroad men declare, few of them
probably would be little distant from
where railroad tracks are at present
paid. In such cases, it is said, a spur
track could be built at very low cost
ard this would be used by the Govern
ment for test purposes or in cases Of
emergency. The railroads would make
no use of this trackage, as the points
which they would touch would beun-
desirable for traffic purposes. Further
more the bill introduced in Congress
calsl for board of three army, tree
navy and three railroad officers in
each district where foundation bease
would be located, and these would be
held responsible, should the track not
lbe opened to the Government when

ARMY HAS IT EASY
Defeats Notre Dame, 80 to 10,
by Aerial Attack.

WEST POINT. y. Y. November A.
Notre Dame. which team came TO West
Point three years ago for the first time
and flashed such a wonderful forward
passing game as to carry the Soldiers
off their feet, was beaten today by a
system of play which they themselves
used to such good advantage at that
time. The Army eleven, by a wonder
full exhibition of forward passing, won
by a score of 80 to 10.
The Cadets were outplayed in the
line until the last quarter, and Oliphant
was effectually stopped with his run
ming plays, but the South Bend eleven
was unable to fathom the Army's air
line attack. Oliphant and Vidal. two
western boys. were the stars of the
contest. ELEPHANTS wonderful tossing
of the ball equaled any ever seen here,
and Vidals great work of carrying the
oval on to touchdownS was. another
feature of the overhead playing of the
Army.
Three times Oliphant tossed long
passes to Vidal, who each time went on
to a score. Vidal booted a field goal.
and Oliphant, besides kicking all the
goals from touchdowus. three times
sent the ball between the uprights for
placement goals.
Cofalrs running and the line play of
Bachman and McInerny stood out
prominently in Notre Danes playing.
