jured When Struck BY Car Driven
By Fred Redlien of Twin Lakes.

Ira Bailey, an eleven year old boy,
whose parents live on the second floor
of the Enterprise Building at the cor
ner of Church and Wisconsin Streets,
was painfully but not seriously injur-
ed just after three o. clock this after
noon when he was struck by an auto
mobile driven by Fred Redlien of Twin
Lakes. The boy was crossing Wiscon-
sin Street near Church Street when
struck by the car and was thrown sew
eral feet. Witnesses of the accident
went to the boys rescue and carried
him him into his home. Persons who
saw the accident declared that Redlien
stopped his car and then drove. on
without attempting to help the boy.
Redlien later went to the police and
reported the accident and declared that
he thought the boy was not seriously
hurt. He said that he gave him ample
warning and did not believe he was
responsible for the accident.

Letter From
Dead President
Opposes Secrecy
Letter from Former President Roose-
welt Opposing Secret Methods Used
at Versailles Made Public Today.

New York, Aug. 13-The spirit of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt through the
medium of letter written two months
before his death today Joined in the
attack upon he secrecy employed by
President Wilson in connection with
the negotiations at the recent peace
conference at Versailles. The letter
now in the hands of Senator New, of
Indiana, and Representative Moot, of
New York, was addressed to Harry
Wilson Walker, a New York news
paper man. It was written November
4th, 1918, and says in part: Gin view
of what you say, shall not speak of
Colonel House again if I can possibly
avoid it, but my dear sir, why in the
name of heaven doesn Il Wilson make
him Secretary of State and have him
work in the open. / don't believe in
these secret ways of handling business.
OF course I realize that it may be
necessary in wholly exceptional cases,
but it is all wrong to have it done
habitually.'

Maurice Sneider Purchases
the BrassvilIe Hotel Today
From Schlitz Brewing
Company for $4,000.
WILL CONTINUE The SAME
New Owner Plans To Operate Hotel On
Same Lines That Tt Has Been Used
Before Sale Recalls Building
Of Hotel In 1889.

A real estate deal of more than pass
ing Importance for Kenosha was clos
ed about ten O'Clock this morning
when Maurice Sneider purchased the
Brassville Hotel, located at the corner
Of Elizabeth and Bond Streets, from
| the Schlitz Brewing Company Of Mil
Ewaukee for a realization Of $4,000
The deal was closed today in the Offices
of Attorney Walter NJ Burke who
brought about the sale of the property
The new owner is man experienced
in the hotel business and has announced
that he will continue the operation OF
the Hotel along the same lines that II
has been run in past years.
The sale recalled this morning the
interesting history of the building
The property was bought in 1889 by the
Schlitz Brewing. Company who made il
the first rooming house to be erected in
the neighborhood of the American
Brass Company, then relatively new
industry for the city. Gradually il
outgrew its original quarters and dur.
ing the past thirty years it has been
remodeled several times in order tc
make it large enough to accommodate
the business. 1t now has twenty three
rooms in addition to the store rooms
on the first floor.
/ For years the Brassville Hotel ha.
been one of the interesting rooming
houses in Kenosha. Recently it has
hbeen conducted by julius Blozdorf
whose contract with the Schlitz Com
Epanv expires in a short time making
Nvav for the new owner to take charge
lof the property Mr.. Bloxdorf was moi
in Kenosha today and no statement
fcould be secured from him as to hi:
plans for the future.
The sale also caused considerable
comment this morning since it was fur
4 ther proof of the movement on the part
of the brewery companies to sell Their
holdings in Kenosha as rapidly as pos
sible This with the sale of the Schlits
Hotel and the Germania Hall recently
shows that the brewies are ready tc
sell the majority of their holding.

LITTLE CTGARETTISTS
START COSTLY FIRE
Forty-Five Tons of Hay Go Up in
Smoke When Stack Burns on the
Frank Nelson Farm.

Frank Nelson, proprietor of the liv-
cry and taxi barn on West Main street,
has a new Indictment against cigar
cites and possibly against several
small boys who covertly smoked them
under the camouflage of a forty five
ton hay-stack.
The cigarette-fre occurred on the
Nelson farm west of town shortly be-
fore noon on Tuesday. During the
morning several small boys had been
playing around the hay-stack AT
eleven clock it was mass of flames
against which all efforts of neighbor-
hood fremen were unavailing.
An hour later the thousand dollar
hay-stack was only a heap of shoulder
ing ashes and the small boys were not
exactly lingering about the ruins.
Inasmuch as the hay was not covered
by insurance, Mr.. Nelson is doub1y ex-
asperated that the fire should have re-
suited from pure carelessness on the
part of strangers. Accordingly he is
Investigating the matter and is consid.
ering prosecution of the young cigar
ettists responsible for the blaze.
The names of the boys are known
but at late hour this afternoon no
ARRESTS had been made. In the mean
time Mr.. Nelson is buying up hay to
replace the supply which went up in
smoke on Tuesday.

Heads of Railway Company
Expect Early Change In
Wages Paid To Employees
In Kenosha.
MUST ASK ADDED FAIR RATES
New Petition TO Railway Commission
Asking Possibly An Eight Cent Fare
May Be FILED Within Short Time
Says Manager.

That the recent Encouragement of
the wages of men Employed in the
railway work of the Wisconsin Gas 6
Electric Company is only temporary
arrangement and that readjustment
of the rates will be necessary in a very
short time, was the statement made by
General Manager Calendar Of the
company in Kenosha on Tuesday and
it was stated that with the rearrange-
ment Of the wages Of the men, when it
comes, must come a demand for a
change in the rates of fares to be
charged for street railway service i'll
Racine and Kenosha. Manager Cal
lendar did not state just when this
matter was coming up but he intimated
that the demand for higher fares was
imminent.
No suggestion as to what the fare
might be placed at was made, but
Manager Calendar declared that to
meet the demands which were certain
to come it would be impossible for the
company to get away without a de-
mand for an eight cent fare. The
question of the street railway fares to
be charged in Kenosha is now before
the Wisconsin Railroad Commission as
the commission retained jurisdiction
over a petition fled by the. company
nearly year ago and the fare ques-
tion may be reopened at any time.
With the Chicago and North Shore
trainmen demanding a wage Of rs
cents an hour, the managers Of the
local railway know that it will be only
a short time before they must meet
some new demand Of the men. Man
ager Calendar frankly admitted that
the earnings Of the company under
present fare rates was not sufficient to
meet the recent increase in wages Of
fered to the men.
We know that this wage is not
going to be satisfactory and we have
no quarrel with the men, but to meet
any increased wage we must have an
increased earning power. said Mr..
Calendar. It is possible that the mat
ter will be called up before the com
mission within the next ten days in
order to anticipate any demands that
may be made.

Commission Plan.

Directors Also Ask congressman TO Use

Revenue Collector At Milwaukee
Randall Agrees With Them.

At the regular meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce held Tuesday noon at the Elks
Club, action was taken by the mem
bers to endorse the appeal received
recently from the Federal Highway
Council asking Kenosha business men
to join in the nationwide appeal to
Congress for the appointment of a
Federal Highway Commission and the
establishment of a national highway
system in accordance with bills now
being considered by the national legis-
lature. The Kenosha Chamber Of Com
merce voted unanimously to send tele-
grams to their representatives at Wash
ington asking them to push the venture
insofar as possible.
1t was also voted that telegrams
should be sent to Washington asking
the Legislators to refuse to remove the
pfice Of the internal revenue collector
from Milwaukee to Madison on the
grounds that it would be inconvenient
for the majority Of the business men
of the state. The telegram read in
its entirety as follows:
cit is proposed to remove the U. s.
Internal Revenue Office from Milwau-
kee to Madison. Such a move would
be seriously detrimental because of the
trend of trade and railway connections
rended Milwaukee more central and
convenient for business men of the
state Besides the business of revenue
office at Milwaukee for the past year
has been six times larger than the
Madison Office. =
Congressman Clifford E. Randall,
who is in Kenosha at the present time,
also sent kilograms to Washington on
Tuesday urging party leaders there
to prevent the Office from being NOV
ed to Madison.
At the meeting Of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
plans were also discussed for an adj
vertising campaign for Kenosha which
will be explained in detail later The
opening step in the drive will be the
publishing Of attractive business sta
tionary which may be used by the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce and
on which will be printed pictures show
ing the various manufacturing interests
of the city and the opportunities it of
fers for additional factories. These
are now being prepared and the mat
ter will be discussed more fully at the
next general meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The Kenosha Chamber of Commerce
also announced this morning that it had
secured service through the National
Chamber of Commerce so that it will
be able to furnish Kenoshans with n
list of the goods put on sale by the
government in the near future. This
information may be secured free. of
charge by any Kenoshan at the offices
of the Chamber of Commerce.

Industrial commission rule and COM
pensation under the commission to fire.
men who may be injured in the per-
Torrance of duty fails to make hit
with the fremen of the state. This
was evidenced this morning at the first
business session of the twelfth state
convention of the Wisconsin Paid Fire
men IS Association. Almost without ex-
ception it was shown that the fremen
at the convention favored retiring
from the protection of the Industrial
Commission and accepting the chance
of settling with the councils of their
own home towns any claims which they
might have for injury while on duty.
It was shown that a number of cities
including Kenosha had already petit
toned the commission TO get out from
commission rule for compensation and
it is expected that these petitions will
become general in cities in the state
following the conclusion of the meet
ing in Kenosha.
Rain Fails to Dampen Ardor.
Rain failed to dampen the ardor of
the delegates to the convention and
when President Conroy called the first
business session to order this morning
more than sixty delegates we've present,
The first topic for discussion was the
question of pensions for fremen and
the effect of the law passed by the
legislature in 1917 which bars fremen
who entered the service after July l,
1917 from participating in pension
funds without retirement for disability.
Under the law fremen who were in
service before this period may retire
after twenty-five years of service and
be entitled to pensions. 1t was held
that the new plan was unjust to many
of the members of the departments in
Wisconsin cities.
The old question always uppermost
among fremen-Shall we 60 to the
common council Of the city or the leg.
islature to secure shorter hours and
better conditions of work f-was also up
for discussion this morning with a
large difference of opinion. Many of
the fremen believed that the common
council was the place to go, while 9TH
ers argued strongly for the unity Of
action which must come under legisla-
tive enactment. The problem was still
under discussion when the session
closed for the noon day lunch
Shop talk was resumed with the
of the convention this af-
ternoon with the understanding that
the afternoon would be given over to
topics of interest. Late in the after
noon the fremen were the guests Of
the Nash Motors Company at the big
west. side plant and they made a trip
through the modern factory.

stration by the Kenosha department,
