MONDAY Luncheon to Discuss the
Parking Ordinance Question.

Calling off the MONDAY luncheon on
Wednesday which had been called to
discuss the parking ordinance, was
part of the business Of the committee
|of the Retailers Association which
had meeting Monday night. The com
|mittee decided that the QUESTIONABLE
was sufficient for every one to express
his opinion about the matter aud that
if a meeting were held some of the
merchants might not fill out the ques-
tionnaire. Besides there have already
been several meetings relative to this
matter and the filing of the question
naire is all that is now lacking.
The committee appointed several
committees for the booster trip. One
of these was a committee on cars. Tt
viii be the duty of this committee to
see about getting autos for the trip and
getting them lined up, on the day of
the trip, etc. The members of this
committee are: Adolph Epstein, R. j.
Austin and John Gregory.
A committee on tickets was appoint
ed for the purpose Of getting the tic
kets out to those persons who are going
on the booster trip. The members of
the committee are: John Regner, chair
man; David Korf, A. Isermann, G. III.
Curtiss, R. Mahlsted, w. H. Robinson
and Charles Turnock.
To secure band, G. E. Dewey, Fred
Raiman and James German were APP
pointed. These men had already been
to the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton and had seen Lieutenant James
III. MCCLELLAN, aide to Captain Moffett,
and he had assured them that the Re
tailers Association could depend on
getting band from the station unless
some unforeseen circumstances arose
Ito prevent it.

NARROW ESCAPE
| UNDER FREIGHT TRAIN
Joseph Meyer, Pleasant Prairie, and
Companion Come Near Being Run
Over by Freight Train.

Escaping death under the wheels Of
| a freight train by margin Of three
| feet, was the experience Of Joseph
| Meyer, farmer Of Pleasant Prairie,
and a lady companion, at $3.50 o'clock
Wednesday evening. AS it was Meyer
was rendered unconscious for few
moments and the lady's shoulder
was dislocated.
Mr.. Meyer and the lady were coming
into Kenosha in a buggy and when
crossing the Chicago, North Western
track at Jeffries crossing noticed a
freight train backing onto them, be-
ling not three feet away. There were
no signal lights on the rear of the train
and the horse and buggy were on the
track before the train was seen and
there was no noise to attract their
attention.
Mr.. Meyer whipped up his horse to
hurry him across the track in an eff
| fort to avoid being run down by the
train, when the animal, unused to such
a severe blow, ran away, throwing the
occupants Of the buggy out and
severely injuring them. The lady
| aHghted upon her shoulder which was
dislocated. Mr.. Meyer alighted on
his head and was rendered unconsci-
Gus for some time.
Another man, Mr.. Fink, was com
| ing along in his auto and he stopped
| to let the horse and Buggy across or
| he would have been on the track and
probably crushed under the wheels.
He did not see the train and had no
warning of it's approach as it did not
have any signal lights on the rear.

General Superintendent OF
Street Lines Hands
Resignation to
Company.
GOING BACK TO the FARM

Of the Local Lines for More Than
Thirteen Years-No Cause for
His Retirement is Given.

Henry H. Timme, for the past thir-
teen years general superintendent of
the street railway property Of the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company in
Kenosha, resigned his position just be-
fore noon today and he will retire from
the employ of the company at once.
No statement is given out by the COM

nouneement as to who will succeed him
in his important position in Kenosha
has been announced.

to say in regard TO my esignation he
will say it in good time. want to let
the people know that appreciated all
the favors they have shown me. A lot
of times the work has been hard, but
the people have shown q willingness to
believe that was looking for their bet
ter interests even though things did not
go the way they wanted them to co.
superintendent Timme was land
mark Of the railway in Kenosha. He
came to the operation of the street cars
during the old Frost regime and he has
been one of the few men who have
weathered the various changes Of own
ership. He has ben regarded as a very
efficient superintendent but it has been
an open secret that his ideas of the
future of the lines were in conflict with
those of some of the men in authority.
His retirement to the farm in Wheat
land will be regretted. In the years
that Mr.. Timme has been in Kenosha
he has held many public offices. He
twice served in the capacity of sheriff
+ the county and for many years he was
a member of the city council represent
ing the old second ward on that body.
He has been strongly in favor of
large extensions Of the street railways
in Kenosha and had been active in
having the company put new rolling
stock on the lines to meet immediate
demands of the traffic.

Salem Man Makes Contribu-
ton of Five Dollars to
kenosha Red Cross for
Violation of Ruling.
BOUGHT or CHICAGO FIRM
Two Members of the Same Family Sc.
cure Allotment for Canning Pur-
poses and Tenney Takes Prompt
Action to Assess Fine.

At the orders of the United States
Food Administration, William Schultz
of the town Of Salem, on Wednesday
contributed five dollar bill to the
funds of the Kenosha county chapter
Of the American Red Cross. He made
this contribution in payment of fine
assessed against him after he had been
found guilty of violating the state and
federal food administration rulings in
regard to the purchase of sugar.
The specific order of the food admin
istration alleged to have been violated
was the one providing against the
lorder of more than one allotment of
sugar for canning by any one family
through mail order house. It was
shown by the evidence that two mem
bers Of the Schultz family had ordered
twenty-five pounds of sugar for cam
ming through one Of the big Chicago
mail order houses. The sugar had been
delivered. The state and federal ad-
ministrations had given notice that
lsuch violations Of the law would be sub
ject to prompt and severe punishment.
Schultz is the first man in Kenosha
county to be fined under the sugar rul-
ings, but it is expected that other fines
win be assessed later. The records of
sugar sales in The city and county have
been carefully checked up and inves-
LEGATIONS are now being made Of a num-
Der Of suspicious cases. It is the plan
of the food administration to follw up
closely these violators and see to it
that every one Of them contributes TO
the Red Cross. The names Of every
person fined for this offense will be
promptly made public and no par
TALLY will be shown in dealing
with violators.
All dealers in sugar in the city and
county are now making an effort to CO.
operate with the food administration.
Int is however, impossible for the deal
ers to guard themselves against impo-
sition. The check that is being made
| by the department will, however, re-
veal any attempt at " clever sugar
buying'' On the part Of householders. 1t
lis the intention of the administra-
tion to enforce these rulings to the
very letter.

Kenosha City and County Draft
Boards today called for military
service with the National Army every
classified registrant remaining on the
lists Of the two boards and these men
will be modified somewhere about
October 9TH to go to Camp Macarthur
at Waco, Texas. When the County
Board had drawn the twenty-four men
demanded by the call its list was ex-
hausted, but there were enough names
on the list to meet the call Of the
Government. The county provided for
no alternates and every man called
for service must appear and take his
place in the ranks if the county is to
make good on the call.
The City Board was short when it
came to make up. its list. After com
bining the lists of the youngsters
registered on June 5th and on August
Oath, the City Board was unable to
find the one hundred and three men
necessary to complete its quota and
eighty-six men were called on the list
and the clerks Of the board are MAX
ing a new search Of the records in
hopes Of finding few more men.
If it is impossible to get the men
from Kenosha some other board in the
state will be called to dip into its re-
serves and furnish men to make up
the deficiency with the understanding
that Kenosha will make good on its
list when the men recently registered
are classified and ready for call.
It is possible that a half a dozen
OF the men who failed to register IN
1917 but who were found in the recent
registration, will be sent with this
quota Of men. These men all received
questionnaires this morning and they
have been ordered to answer them at
once and If Glass men can be found
in this list they will be ordered to re-
port for immediate examination.
These men are called for general
military service and it is expected
that the order for their entrainment
vii. be received within the next few
days. They will make up the first
quota from Kenosha in October, but
it is probable that there will be other
calls late in the month. Such calls
when made must be met from the list
of men recently registered.

at the different places this year than
heretofore.
The merchants have heretofore given
out souvenirs on the trip but on ac-
count Of other matters that have claim
ed their attention they have been back
ward about getting this year. Ell. G.

at least say that they do not stand with
