GOSSIP . szzsEE. sseazs .1!Ea:

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - When
Representative Goodykoontz intro
lduced resolution calling attention to
tne fact that millions OF dollars worth
OF motor vehicles we're stored in the
open exposed to the weather for which
the War department had no use and
calling ON the Secretary Of War to de-
clare surplus Of them and sell them
to the public in the open market, he
no doubt did not expect that 1t would
attract countrywide attention and
neluge him with commencing letters
from everywhere telling him to "go to
II to the finish. But that is what hap
pened. The Associated Press repor.
OF the days proceedings in Congress
that day carried an item about his res
olutlon, giving brief glst OF it, and
30 1t was read wherever newspaper
u published in the United States.
Then the letters began to roll in on
MIN, and are still coming. He made a
sure fine hit with the plain folks who.
many OF them no doubt, would ike a
chance to buy second hand govern
ment motor truck or passenger car.
Many others were doubtless impressed
with backing up resolution that, II
passed, will save to the taxpayers an
immense sum of money, which some
body seems bent on making it lose
The resolution was based on testimony
given by an army officer witness be-
fore a congressional committee a
month ago 1t can also be stated as
Q fact that the Goolykoontz resolu-
ton caused excitement down at the
War department and among the man
ufacturers of automobiles. Between
Washington and Baltimore there are
acres OF these government cars. The
claim has been made by officials,
which is to be accepted with doubt,
That tho engines In these cars are
turned over" once week, and tina:
they are kept oozy with grease. II
true, that is only partial protection.
The machines stand out in the open.
Their value runs into millions. Mr..
Goodykoontz intends to press his res
olutton with all the force that he has
at his command. Another resolution
pending, introduced by him on tho
same day, has pointed reference to the
high cost OF living, instructing the
House Judiciary committee to report
out a bill, along the lines suggested BY
h!m In the resolution dealing with this
paramount problem.

HOUSE ROBBED
As BARN BURNED

The burning of barn to cover rob-
berry OF q house was reported to Sher-
if Meyer this morning. It was the
barn on the farm Of John Orth on
the Wood road just North of Kenosha
and it burned to the ground at mid
night causing loss of more than $4,000.
It is now alleged that while members
of the Ortiz family were fighting to
save the buildings Surrounding the barn,
thieves entered the Orth home just
across the street from the barn and
rarsacked all of the rooms and got
away with a small amount of booty.
The robbery of the home was not re-
ported to Sheriff Meyer until this
morning.
In the burning of the barn twelve
tons of new hay, a Chevrolet automo-
bile and farm wagon were destroyed.
The fire was discovered just at mid
night and it spread very rapidly to all
portions Of the barn. 1t was so we'll
under way when the members of the
Orth family were awakened by the
flames that it was impossible to re-
move anything from the barn and the
volunteer fire department which was
organized made q successful fight to
save the surrounding buildings. Scores
of people went out from Kenosha to see
the midnight blaze. At first it was
believed that the fire had resulted from
spontaneous combustion in the new hay
but later when it was discovered that
the Ortiz home had been robbed the
officials began working on the suppo-
sition that the burglars had set fire to
the barn to make their work Of rob
berry easy AS yet no arrests have
been male in the case and the officials
admitted that they were without clues
ito work on.

John Stancato, Employee Of American
Brass Company Seriously Injured
by Thirty Foot Tan Saturday.

Brass Company Seriously Injured
by Thirty Foot Fall Saturday.
John Stancato, aged twenty-five
years, S62 Pearl street, was very seri-
ously injured just after two O'Clock
Saturday afternoon when he fell thirty
feet from the crane which he was clean
ing in the metal storage room of the
American Brass Company to the con-
crete floor of the factory.
AS result of the fall Stancato broke
both arms and suffered a compound
fracture of his thighs, but it is consid,
cred fortunate that he was not instant
ly killed by the fall. Fellow work
men hurried to his aid Immediately af-
ter the accident and he was taken to
the Kenosha Hospital in the Hansen
ambulance. 1t was feared that internal
injuries might develop, but late this af-
ternoon he was resting more easily and
physicians held out hope for his
recovery.
Stancato, who is employed as crane
operator at the Brass Mill was cleaning
the crane when the accident occurred.
He was sweeping out the gang-way for
the crane when the support broke al
lowing him to fall to the concrete floor
thirty feet below. There were but a
few men employed at the factory dur
ing the afternoon, but those who saw
the accident declared that Stancato
was fortunate to escape from the injury
with his life.
