Prominent Evanston Man
Is Named In Complaint
Filed In Municipal
Court Today.
HIT AUTOMOBILE IRAN AWAY
Complaint Alleges That He Failed To
Render Assistance After Serious Ill
ness of Two Kenoshans-Fa cing
Prison Term If Convicted.

In the Municipal Court this morning
District Attorney Peter Fisher, Jr. filed
a complaint for a warrant for the ar
rest of William Ross, said to be a
wealthy young Evanstonian. The COM
plant charges Ross with having con-
tributed to the injury of two men in
an automobile accident and with hav-
ing driven his automobile away without
assisting the wounded men.
Ross is said to be a member of one
Of the prominent families in Evanston
and it is expected that bitter fight
will be made to prevent his being
brought to Kenosha for trial. Under
the law a conviction would carry a pen
atty of from two to ten years in the
state prison.
The complaint against Ross is the
first to be made under this statute in
the courts of KenoSha county. 1t is
based on an accident on the Geneva
road on August 28th when a small au-
tomobile in which William M. Lewis
and W. NJ. Colby were riding was
struck by a car alleged to have been
driven by Ross and overturned. Both
Of the men in the small automobile were
seriously injured and it is alleged that
the Evanston man made no effort to
stop his car and aid them. Later a
warrant was issued charging Ross with
a violation of the speed law and an
attorney came from Evanston and of
fered to enter plea for him. The
court and the district attorney refused
to accept any plea without having Ross
in court

SPEAKS
TO RACINE CLUB
Railway Company Head Talks of Con
ditions in the Operation of the
Street Lines.


James D. Mortimer, president of the
Wisconsin Gas & Electric Company, de-
clared on Tuesday, in an address at Ra-
cine, that the railway company would
rather carry people for Scent fare if
the companies could get business enough
to do it and pay expenses. He spoke
before the Rotary Club of Racine and
made it clear that the conditions both
ering electric railways in this section
of Wisconsin were conditions which
were common in many parts of the
country.
eve all would like to carry traffic
at cents in sufficient volume to make
business remunerative," said Mr. Nor
timer. "There is no more Justification
for attaching what are reported to be
satisfactory results from Scent fare
to the cooperative management in
Philadelphia than there is to say that
Cleveland is successful, because the mo-
tormen and conductors belong to the
Amalgamated association.
cit would be just as proper to say
that the low rate of return in Milwau-
kee results from large production of
beer, or that the Scent fare in Phila-
delphia is satisfactory because there
formerly was large proportion of
Quakers in that city,

Patrick Ryan, Farm Hand,
Arrested After He Had At
tempted To Cash Forged
Check For $1O7.
LOST MONEY GAMBLING HERE
Ryan Had Cashed a Good Check For a
Similar Amount Early In the Day and
the Money Had Taken Wings and
He Needed More.

They still sell liquor in Kenosha and
liquor strong enough to make men lose
control of themselves so that they will
forge the names of other men to bank
checks, according to the story of Pat
rick Ryan, arrested by the police de
partment on Tuesday night and held
pending hearing on charges of for
gerry. Ryan did. not get any money on
a check which he forged but the police
declare-that this was not his fault. He
is a farm hand thirty-fve years of age
and he was arrested after he had at
tempted to cash check purporting to
be signed by James P. Torrcy and call
ing for the payment Of $4,000. He
attempted to cash the check at the
store of the Bell Clothing Company on
Main street and as the men at this
store are not accustomed to cashing
checks of this amount without an in
vestigation they called the police.
Ryan formerly worked on the Torrey
farm and Tuesday morning he had a
perfectly good check for the same
amount as the forged one. He cashed
this at one of the banks and toward
night fall after mingled in a number
of gambling games and consuming a
amount of liquors of vari-
Gus kind she found himself short of
money and started out with a duplicate
of the check he had cashed. He was
rather frank in telling his story TO
Chief o Hare and he admitted that he
was drunk when ne forged the check.
Ryan was slated to tell Judge Tully
about it in the Municipal Court this
afternoon

EDGAR /. SIMMONS
DIED IN new ORLEANS
Young Bugler Who Visited Parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. X. Simmons in
Minot During Summer, is Victim
of Heart Failure.

w. X. Simmons, manager of the
down stairs store at the Fair, received
the sad news of the sudden death of
his son, Edgar Harold Simmons, at
New Orleans, which was caused from
heart failure. He had been suffering
from a cold, and returning to his home
in the evening, ate hearty meal, 60
ing to the bath room soon after, where
he took hot bath. He was found on
the floor of the bathroom soon after
wards, dead. The remains were inter
red in New Orleans.
Edgar visited his parents in this
city in June and July, and during his
short stay here made large number
of friends. Many will remember him
as the young bugler who participated
in Minot's Fourth of July parade. He
left early in July for New Orleans
where he was married to a young wo-
man in that city. He had been en-
ployed by the Holmes department
store in New Orleans in the gents
furnishing department. Mr.. Holmes,
president of the concern, wrote COM
forting letter to the parents, saying
that Edgar had shown marked ability
in his work and that he had endeared
himself to his fellow employees.
The young man was engaged in SER
vice in the Navy during the war, and
after receiving his honorable discharge
came to Minot to visit his parents. He
was Fl years of age and was splendid
type of young manhood. A host of
friends sincerely sympathize with the
bereaved parents over the loss of their
only boy.

UNION NATIONAL BANK
TO DOUBLE CAPITAL
Well Known Institution Will Increase
Stock From $4,000 to 100000 at
Annual Meeting in January.

The Union National Bank Of this
city will increase it's capital stock
from $4,000 to 100000 at the annual
meeting of the stockholders Jan. 13,
1920.
The board of directors recently ad-
opted resolutions recommending this
move to the stockholders and they will
undoubtedly approve Of this action at
the January meeting.
The national banking law permits
the present stockholders to subscribe
for their pro rata number of increas-
ed shares of stock and it is probable
that each stockholder will take advan-
tage of this opportunity to secure ad-
ditional stock in one of the strongest
banking institutions in the Northwest
