BREAK JAIL AGAIN.

Another jail delivery occurred Sun
day evening. There were only four
prisoners on the first floor. Two OF
them were Elmer Timm to be taken
the next morning to the Great Lakes
Naval Training station between Chi
cago and Milwaukee as deserter from
the U. S. Navy and Robert E. Mullen
serving GO days for unlawful relations
with Manistee girl who accompanied
him from Michigan. The prisoners
have the run of the space between the
cage cells in the center and the walls
until o'clock in the evening, The
other two prisoners reported later
that Timm and Mullen were singing
and clog dancing in the southwest cor.
ner shortly after supper. They were
probably doing this to drown any noise
they made in saving their way out.
They had to saw only two small rods
and one bar. They squeezed through
the opening and made off before s
o'clock when there were many people
near by on the streets. The escape
was soon discovered but Timm and
Mullen had vanished. They have
not been captured up to this writing

0LDtLECTRIG PLANT ABANDONED

The city is about to abandon the
old electric light station on Quay
street. The new combined plant at
the water station has taken over all
the load. The city clerk under author.
ity OF the city council has closed a deal
for the sale of the old equipment. 1t
includes boilers, engines, dynamos,
switchboards and like equipment. The
price is about $4,000. The purchaser
is the Manufacturer Equipment Co.
OF Milwaukee. The old building will
probably be used by the city for stor.
age purposes. This plant was built by
John Schuette in 1890 and was taken
over by the city in 1913 u7dey the pur.
chase provisions of the Ra road Com
mission act. The city had outgrown
the old plant and rather than enlarge
1T the city built an entirely new plant
in conjunction with the city's water
works station. There was not much
loss in this because the obsolete ma
chinery was only appraised for pur-
chase purposes at few thousands Of
dollars in total price Of about
Sl50, 200.

HOFFMAN LOSES SUIT.

The Pilot two weeks ago mentioned
law suit by Edward Hoffman against
Herman Richter to recover damages
arising from Richter having run into
Hotfman's son with an automobile.
Hoffman did not rely upon any allega-
tions and proofs Of negligence on Rich
ter's part but relied for recovery upon
an alleged promise by Richter after
the accident to recompense Hoffman
for any loss he might suffer because Of
the accident. The boy was badly hurt
and was in the hospital quite a while
The expenses ran up to $467. 10 and this
Richter refused to pay. He denied in
court that he was guilty of any negli
gence and denied ever having promised
to pay. Judge Schmidt took the mat
ter under advisement and in day
or two decided that Rchter's remarks
to Hoffman as proved could not be con-
strued as a contract to pay all the ex-
penseS. A retrial in circuit court is
probable.

The directors OF the Chamber Of
Commerce had an important meeting
last week. A proposal to engage an
organizing bureau to build up the
membership and plan the work OF the
Chamber was not adopted. 1t was,
however, decided to bring the member
ship into closer relations to the or.
ganizatlon by abandoning the standing
committees and appointing committees
from the mem bership from time to
time and thus reaching all with some
work and responsibility. This Is con.
sidered more democratic. 1t was fur
ther decided TO form groups in the or
ganization the members Of each group
to have identity OF business or proies-
sional interest and TO have the central
body composed OF members chosen by
these groups. This plan is the one
which has worked out successfully in
the national chamber. A determined
effort is to be made to broaden the
chambers membership and activities
entirely upon local initiative aud work

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN.

Say, every bond you buy means pro-
lection for you and your family and
your friends from the submarine and
the ruthless warfare of the enemy.
Make your neighbor who has not
bought liberty bonds understand this
too Help him to visualize the calam-
ity which the failure of this war would
bring to our country. Ask him if he
thinks it would be more satisfactory to
pay large German war indemnity
than to insure victory by buying liber-
ty bonds. And make him understand
some do not seem to fully grasp this
that liberty bonds are the safest and
the best investment person can pos
sibly make; that liberty bond buyer
is not giving away his money, but loan
ing it at four per cent, on the best
security in the world, and that liberty
bonds can be converted into cash by
the holder at any time he wants his
money back.
But few days remain. This is your
war and your neighbors war, and the
way to win it is to back your govern
ment and your soldiers with the wealth
and resources of the country. Buy
liberty bonds. If you have already
bought, buy more. If you cannot buy
more, you can at least kelp your
neighbor to see the necessity of doing
his part BY the earnest, united ef-
forts of aroused patriots in the few re-
naming days of this bond campaign it
can be made to strike terror to the
heart of the enemy and convince him
of the futilty of prolonging the war.

The Manitowoc Tribune says that
all who believe in protection could vote
for Judge Baensch, for congress. The
corallary is suggested that all who be-
lieye fn tariff reform should not vote
for him. The Tribune states the case
fairly but is indiscreet in making the
statement, as the Judge must rely on
his personal popularity and not ou the
principles of his party for his vote IN a
district which is strongly in favor Ct
tariff reform. One who believes in the
principles Of his party should vote in
harmony with his belief particularly
when principles are at stake.
