BANKERS LOSE BIG FIGHT.
Judge Geiger Holds That Racine
Bankers May Not Hold Accounts
of the United Refrigerator Co.

Judge Geiger of the United States
court, at Milwaukee, has rendered a
decision in the case Of the assigned
accounts of the United Refrigerator
and Ice Machinery company of Keno
sha. In the decision he sustains Mil
ton Knoblock, referee in bankruptcy,
with reference to the accounts as Sc
curity of the $4,000 of Milwaukee
bank and over-rules the referee s de-
cision with reference to the $4,000
securities of Charles R. Carpenter and
B. Hinrichs. The decision further
holds that none of the accounts turned
over in September, 1914, can be held
by Messrs. Carpenter and Hinrichs,
and that the only accounts they can
retain are those they had possession
of four months before the bankruptcy
proceedings. The total amount turned
over in September, 1914, was about
100000. The trustee of the Refrigera-
tor company, John D. Rowland, was
represented by Cuttings, Janecky and
Beach; Mr.. Carpenter by Attorney
Spooner, of Milwaukee, and Mr.. Hin
richs by Thompson and Harvey.
Whether an appeal will be taken from
the decision of Judge Geiger is not
yet known.

MORE THRILLS FOR PASSENGERS
North Bound Passenger Train Just
Gets Away from Hitting Street
Car at Market Street.

Thrills were put into the monotonous
existence of six passengers on a car of
the Kenosha Electric Railway company
at the Market street crossing just af-
ter seven O'Clock last night when the
car was caught on the crossing with
the gates down and the train just
whizzed by missing the rear end of the
street car by fraction of an inch. 1t
was declared that the man tending the
crossing had waved the motorman of
the car to come ahead. After he got
on the tracks the gates went down.
Possibly a conductor on the car would
have been able to see the danger.
Fortunately the train did not hit the
street car, but passengers on it de-
clared this morning that they did not
care to take such chances. This is the
second accident of the kind that has
taken place in the past few months.
Both brought narrow escapes. Some
Of the passengers fear that there may
come time when the company will
not be 50 fortunate.

SUNNY REST IN BAD SHAPE.
Racine County Sanatorium Declared. TO
be in a Deplorable Condition
by Committee.

The Racine. county tuberculosis
sanatorium, Sunny Rest, at Gatliff,
was given black eye in the report
of the trustees read by Supervisor
Tucker before the county board of that
county Tuesday afternoon. The report
depicted conditions at the institution
as being in a most deplorable state.
The walls of the building were said to
have settled until great cracks appear
everywhere over the structure. The
power plant upon which the sana-
forum depends for light and heat was
reported to have become worthless.
The engines have broken down repeat
edly and at the present time are out
of order 1t is necessary for the in
mates to carry water in milk cans from
the neighbors' wells. Candles are be-
ing used to light the building, and
borrowed gasoline stoves to furnish
the heat. The report further stated
that the patients, who pay ten dollars
a week and, who require the most deli
cate care, are being supplied with but
half cooked food. The board members
made inquiry as to who had construct
ed the building and were advised that
a Burlington firm had done the work.
Supervisor Mogenson felt that the
county could compel the contractors to
remedye the conditions at the sana-
forum, and the board will in all likeli-
hood take some action in this direction
The report was adopted and the board
decided to order the electric wires,
running to Corliss, tapped to supply
the sanatorium with the electricity
which its own power plant cannot pro-
vide. Kenoshs county has three in
mates at Sunny Rest, but they will be
transferred to Willowbrook within
the next few days.

CITY PAYS INSURANCE.
Martj Ondrasek Saved from a Pot
ter's Field Burial by Foresight
of the Pauper Commissioner.

-
Martj Ondrasek, aged ffty-eight
years, an Austrian laborer, died at the
Kenosha hospital early this morning
following short illness. He was TAX
en- to the hospital on Tuesday after
noon suffering from dropsy. Foresight
on the part of the pauper commission
er of the city will save the man from
being buried at the expense of the city.
When the man appealed to the city
for aid he had an insurance policy on
which there was a small sum due in
premiums. The pauper commissioner
at once went to the agents of the com
pany and paid all arrears on the poll
cy. This money will furnish fund
for the burial Of the man and the pay
ment of hospital expenses. At the
time he was taken to the hospital
Ondrasek had signed an order to the
city turning over the amount called
for by the policy. He had lived in
Kenosha but a short time. Tt is said
that he has a wife and children in
Austria

SHOW DANGER OF TREsPAssING
Northwestern Road Issues Poster De-
plotting Results of Public Care
leSSness

The Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way company is distributing a large
number of posters depicting the dan
ger arising from carelessness on the
part of the general public in making
use of railroad tracks as public high
way. The poster shows several ways
in which accidents are caused to boys,
men and women who insist on using
the tracks in making a short cut to
or from their work. They also show
the hazardous pastime of boys who
hang on the sides of box cars and play
around railway yards.
The posters also give some Of the
figures of the interstate commerce com
sion on accidents on the railways of
the country. It is shown that 1864
men, women and children were injured
while trespassing on the railway tracks
in 1915 and that fifteen were killed
every day last year while trespassing.
The commission also reports that
during twenty-five years ending June
80, 1914, 1850 persons were killed
and 1854 injured, making a total of
237,181 persons killed and inir !
while walking ON railway tracks and
Tipping cars in the United States. The
posters also state that this is the only
civilized country that does not penal
ize trespassing on railroad tracks and
cars, and recommends the passage Of
a law which will do away with that
unnecessary slaughter incident to this
practice.

WANT THEIR WAGES RAISED.

Wisconsin has got to pay her county
superintendent of schools more money.
This was the unanimous decision of
fifty superintendent in Madison for
the annual meeting of their associa-
ton there on Tuesday. It was declar-
ed by G. w. Meisnest Of Manitowoc
that Wisconsin was paying their sup
erintendents starvation wages; one re-
ceives $4,000 annually, and that it
was up to the teachers to stop being
philanthropists. The work of the sup
cruising teachers under the new state
law was the principal subject of dis
cussion on Tuesday.

present war; said the speaker. To
illustrate this, he gave the following
instances:
" Napoleon when he lost his feet in
1905 was put at a great disadvantage
but in twenty-five days by skiilful
manipulation Of forces at his command,
he not only oyercame the disadvant-
age resultant from the disaster, but
regained more than he lost.
"In contrast to this, the French
army in ten days changed the entire
scheme of movement and as result
defeated the Germans, stopping them
at the crucial battle of Aisne.'
Outlines Our Needs.
Maj. Fish made the plea that this
country should have first, navy so
strong and so effectively equipped and
trained that it could prevent the land
ing of hostile forces on eastern or
western coast.
In addition, he considers it impera-
tive that we have thoroughly equip
ped and drilled army, with mobility
as one of its important features. It's
mobility should make it able to be
transported about the continent with
facility. The reason for this need
of mobility is to enable our forces to
promptly and efficiently meet an
invading force.
"We should have mobile army of
not less than 100000 men, well drilled
and equipped. This army should be
divided so that one unit or corps
would stand ready to protect the At
lantic coast, another unit or corps
ready to protect the Pacific coast, the
third unit or corps in central posi-
ton as in the Mississippi Valley,
ready to be moved either way or both
ways promptly on need.
'EBack Of that large number of men
should be trained militia that in a
reasonable time could be put into con-
dition to make efficient soldiers.
Need Doctors Too.
GIN addition to the fighters there
should be a trained corps Of medical
men and hygienic workers that can
care for the soldiery.
Moreover efficient transportation
facilities are needed of SO effective a
nature that not only the army itself
may be rapidly modified, but that it
will never he left without needed
food and munitions
The speaker emphasized the fact
that no longer is an able bodied man
with rifle a soldier Even though
he be brave and the rife be Of the best
make he is inefficient as soldier I'M
less he has had the specific training
necessary to the profession.
Over 100 heard the talk

The report of the committee shows
the enthusiasm with which the citi-
zens in the vicinity of the various
schools welcome the opportunity of
having access to the schools for social
purposes. Many of those who use the
school freely are not members Of other
social organizations and depend upon
the activities of the school centers for
their entire socials life.
The chair of German in the high
school, recently vacated through the
resignation of Mrs. Curtis Livingstone
is to be filed by the promotion of Miss
Carolyn Holah, another teacher, to the
place. Miss Holah IS place is to be filled
by Miss Olga Steig, who has hereto
fore had the classes in commercial
German and English. A new teacher
is to be chosen for the place vacated
by the promotion of Miss Steig.
