TAKE REMAINS TO old HOME
Coroner Millager After Investigation
Declares Inquest Is Unnecessary as
Shooting Was Entirely Accidental
Physicians Fight to Save Life.

Frederick Norton, eighteen year old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. F. Lee Norton Of
Racine, who was accidentally shot at
the home of DR.. Edward F. Rowell on
Durkee avenue on Friday evening,
died at the Kenosha Hospital just af-
ter six o'clock Sunday night as re-
suit of his injuries. AT the time of
his death, his mother and father were
with him. They had been almost con-
stantly at the bedside since early Sat
nrday morning and from the first the
physicians had given them little hope
that the boy could survive his terrible
wound.
Young Norton passed a fairly com
Portable night on Saturday night and
on Sunday morning there was still
some hope held out for his recovery.
Early in the afternoon an infection in
his terrible wound set in and he lapsed
into Inconsistencies and he remained
in this condition until death came.
Doctors Mott and Haven of Racine,
DIR Warfield Of Milwaukee and Doctors
Adams and Hastings Of Kenosha had
remained In almost constant attend
bance on the young man following his
injury. DIR. A. j. Ochsner, famous Chi
cago surgeon, had been called to at
tend the young man, but he did not
reach Kenosha before death came. Mr..
and Mrs. Norton were both FRUSTRATED
Fas a result of the fatal ending to the
accident. On Sunday afternoon many
sprominent people came from Racine to
Kenosha to offer their sympathy and
their help to the stricken parents.
The remains of young Norton were
removed to the Hansen parlors and
Coroner H. A. Milliger took UP the
investigation Of the case this morning.
He held that no inquest would be neces-
sary and early this afternoon the re-
mains were taken to the family home
in Racine. The announcement Of the
time of the funeral has not been made.
The tragic death Of the young man
caused a profound sensation in both
Kenosha and Racine. He was born
and raised in Racine and he had been
a leader of the younger society in that
city. He had also spent considerable
of his time in Kenosha and he was
widely known to the younger society
of this city.
The parents of the young man de-
clare that they did not seek any in
vestigation into the accident. Several
times the young man related to physi-
clans in attendance and TO his parents
the story of the fatal accident. Efforts
to throw any mystery" about the
death of the young man were entirely
misdirected. That the shooting was
purely the result of an accident was
shown by the statement of every one
connected with the tragedy. The story
of the young man left no doubt but
that his death has resulted from the
fact that the safety lock on the re-
volver had not been properly set.

CARE OF PRISONERS
IS BEING CONSIDERED
AGREEMENT SOUGHT TO
GOVERN TREATMENT.
United States Opens Negotia-
tiOns With Germany Looking
to An Understanding.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The Unit
ed States has opened negotiations
with Germany for an agreement to
govern the treatment Of prisoners
OF war taken by either nation. This
Is being done with the hope of Sc
curing the best possible conditions
for Americans taken prisoner on the
front, and to show Germany how
well German prisoners in the United
States are being treated.
Already, through the Red Cross
at Geneva, the United States has be-
gun forwarding food and other nee
essities to Americans held in Ger
many, of whom there are now more
than one hundred.
A nation pinched for food for it
self probably will feed its enemy
prisoners last. To tighten the con-
finement of Americans who will
have to undergo the hardships of
prison camps will a, the same time
alleviate the suffering of families at
home, which naturally will be dis
tressed on account of German bru-
tality and under-feeding of their
enemy prisoners.
German military prisoners of war
in the United States, besides receiv-
ing every necessary comfort. have
the pay and privileges OF their rank
In the United States army and navy.
They are housed in model sanitary
camps, and recently one of the
prisoners sending a letter to his
prospective wife in Germany wrote
that the pay he would accumulate
during his Imprisonment would not
only permit him to retire from the
navy, but would set them up in q
little business as well.
Two classes of German prisoners
are detained in this country. One is
composed of German sailors taker
into custody when the United State.
interned various vesseIs at the be
ginning of the war. The other class
Is composed of enemy aliens. civil
ians who have been arrested and are
now being detained under govern
mental regulations for various rea
sons.
The principal detention camp i!
at Fort Mcpherson, Ga. where ap
proximately $50 war prisoners ar,
held in custody OF the war depart
ment. AT Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
there are 165 enemy aliens, who are

are 517 prisoners of war, and sc

department of labor has in custod,
several hundred Germans, member.
OF the crews of merchant ships. Thi.
group is divided between the i'm
migrant station at Ellis Island and {
