CHARLES WEINKE
HELD "INSANE''
Prominent Salem Farmer
Sent to State Hospital
at Winnebago.
HAS SUICIDAL MANIA

Charles Weinke, aged 40 years, and
one of the most prominent of the
farmers of the town of Salem and
widely known throughout Kenosha
county, was adjudicated insane in the
county court this morning. Judge
Taylor ordered him committed to the
state hospital at Winnebago for treat
ment. Physicians examining him found
that he was suffering from acute mel
ancholia and that the disease was in
creasing in it's force. Members of the
family brought Weinke to Kenosha
this morning for the examination and
he appeared with his throat covered
with bandages.
Tried to Take Own Life.
1t was declared by members of the
family that Weinke had attempted ia
commit suicide on the afternoon Of
July 9Th when he had slashed his
throat. The wounds were very serious
but he is now recovering from them
1t was declared that Weinke suffered
from suicidal mania and that it was
feared that other attempts at suicide
would follow if he was not confined in
hospital.
Heat prostration is believed to be in
a measure the cause Of the failing of
the mind of Weinke. He was overcome
by heat in 1916 and again in 1919.
Sometime ago he was sent to pri-
vate institution for the treatment of
mental diseases but it was said that
his condition had not been greatly i'm
proved by the treatment.

company is willing to follow either
of these plans if the sanction of the
city can be secured. One plan is to
run the cars west from Milwaukee
avenue over Oak street to Sheridan
road and then south on Sheridan road
to Market street to the public service
building with loop providing for an
easy circuit of the lines. The other
provides to run the cars west on Grand
avenue with the understanding that
the company will build trestle over
the river so that the cars can be
routed over a special route running
through the property owned by the
company to the Sheridan road line and
thence south to Market street.
1t is said that in either case the cost
of making the changes would be in the
neighborhood of forty thousand dol
lars. "The company is willing to spend
the money if we can have the assur-
ance of permanent route which will
miss the Main street bridge" declared
the manager. ave do not want TO
put in temporary work but permanent
work which win giveasome assurance
for the future. We nave the neees-
sary rails right here in Kenosha and
we believe that We could carry out
these projects with minimum Of de-
lay if we have the cooperation of
the city in the matter"
The people are complaining on ac-
count of the inconvenience caused by
the interruption of service and it is
believed that the council win do
everything in its power to have the
service restored.

afternoon when he was thrown under
train at the Garden street crossing
of the Northwestern Railway COM
pany. His right leg was cut off just
above the knee and the flesh of the
leg was so terribly torn and bruised
that it may be necessary to anlputate
other portions of the leg at the hip.

hospital this morning and surgeons
feared that he may die as result of
the accident. He suffered terribly
from loss of blood and from torn
tissues. Mrs. QuiEey who had not

once on account of the fact that her
husband was in the hospital. The

Plan Soviet System
for British Empire
English Communists Hope TO Estah-
lish Proletariat in London and
Throughout the Colonies.
tBy Associated Press,

London.-An attempt will be made
to form Communist party in Eng
land August LIST, at national conven-
ton of cleft wing" socialist and indus
trial organizations. Socialist bodies of
the extreme left have been holding
'unity conferences" internationally for
several months with that end in view.
The invitations to the convention point
out that three points are considered
cardinal by the promoters, the dicta-
torship of the preletariat, the soviet
system, and adhesion OF the Third In
ternationale. The direct promoters of
the convention are the British Social
ist party, the anti-war majority sec
ton of which was once the Social
Democratic party; the Workers Social
ist Federation, composed of Miss Syl-
via Pankhurst's followers; and the
Communist Unity group of the Social
ist Labor party. The Socialist Labor
party has not signifed its intention to
participate in the convention. A great
deal of discussion has arisen over the
attitude the powerful labor party may
take toward the convention. The
British Socialist party is affiliated with
the Labor party, but the Workers So
cialist Federation and the Communist
Unity group have refused to be con-
nected with it, and the Labor party
itself So far has made no official pro-
nouncement concerning the proposed
convention. There is a difference of
opinion among the political groups as
to whether the convention will succeed
in forming Communist party with a
following sufficiently large to give it
any considerable influence, but it is
considered virtually certain that as a
result of the convention there will be
a big readjustment and regrouping Of
socialist bodies to correspond to ir-
reconcilable differences of policy.

SHORE TO
RAISE TRACKS
Engineers of Company Ask
Consent to Lifting
of Crossings.
BALLAST WHOLE LINE

Engineers of the Chicago, North
Shore and Milwaukee Electric Railway
company have made application to the
engineering department of the city for
a permit to raise the tracks of the
company through the city. The plan
includes the reballasting of the tracks
from the south limits of the city to
the north limits and it is stated that
this will mean the raising Of the tracks
to the extent of six inches above the
present grade throughout the city. En-
gineer Miller of the company confer
red with City Engineer Brennan on
Friday and the company is anxious to
start the work just as soon as possible.
The city engineering department is
much in doubt as to the desirability
of the plan. While it is admitted that
the change would greatly improve the
roadbed of the electric line it is de-
clared that it will play havoc with
street crossings in the city and de-
mand large amount Of work on the
part of the city.
Hurry Work on StatioA
The reballasting of the lines through
Kenosha is part of the construction
work planned in connection with the
erection Of the new station here. The
Milwaukee terminal Of the company is
nearing completion and it is believed
that the engineers Of the company will
be ready to start work on the new
station here within the next few
weeks. It is said to be the plan of the
company to complete the erection of
the Kenosha terminal and the re-bal-
lasting of the lines through Kenosha
before the end of the present year. II
is said that if the company gets the
consent Of the city nearly 100000 will
be expended in the improvement Of
local conditions for the railway.

Andrew f. Stahl of Kenosha, was
unanimously named by the Democratic
caucus Of the First Wisconsin District
as a candidate for member of congress
in Milwaukee on Wednesday and he
has agreed to accept the honor and
make the race for the Office. The
nomination of former Sheriff Stahl for
the Office was forecasted in the Even
ing News two weeks ago after several
meetings had been held in the district
in which he was asked to be the can
didate of Democracy for congress.
He will have no opposition in the pri-
maries and it is expected that the
united Democratic vote Of the district
will be given for his support. Petit
tons for his nomination were put into
circulation in all parts Of the district
this morning. It is believed that his
candidacy will be an aid to De-
mocracy in Kenosha county. At the
congressional caucus every county in
the district was represented.
Surprise in Convention.
The real surprise of the convention
was the nomination of DR.. Paul
Reinsch Of Milwaukee, for United
States senator. 1t was expected that
Joseph E. Davies would be the unani-
nous choice of the convention for the
senatorial run and he was, but Davies
himself declined the nomination and

The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1920-07-29

The city council is asked to pro-
vide the sum of $516,546.50 for the
expenses of the schools of the city for
the coming year in the annual budget
which was adopted by the board of
education at the meeting on Friday
evening. The budget does not provide
money for the completion of the
schools as this was provided for in the
amount asked from the council in 1918
and while the total amount has not as
yet been raised and turned over to the
board, the members of the finance
committee of the board and the coun-
ell have an understanding that the
money for the payment of the last con-
tract claim of $4,000 on the Washing
ton school and the $685., 643.57 neces-
sary for the completion of the McKin-
ley school. 1t is expected that the
council will provide the money for the
Mckinley school by bond issues as this
was the provision made by the vote Of
the people.
A Building Without an Extra.
One of the most interesting features
of the meeting of the board on Friday
evening was the report that the Nc
Kinley school was completed and that
had been completed without single
claim for extras" The total cost of
the building, ready for the occupancy
Of the students, with all outside work
provided for, is $268,4S5.s5. This is a
little over $1,000 less than the estimate
made by the board year ago. There
is still to be paid on the Washington
school contract the sum of $4,000.
There is but one bill over which there
has been any contest and that amounts
to but 1912. 1t is believed that this is
the first building in recent history of
Kenosha to be completed strictly with
in the estimate given. The new esti-
mate on the Mckinley school shows
that the city must pay S87,007.62 more
for this school than for the Washing
ton school, regardless of the fact that
the two buildings are built on the same
plans. This increase represents the
increase in the cost OF labor and ma
terials this year as compared with last
year. The final touches are being
uaUG on the Oh LIIS w assn
ington school and it will be opened to
visitors within a few days.
Only One New Site Asked.
The budget as proposed by the
board for the coming year is largely
taken up in the payment of salaries
and for supplies. But one new school
site is asked for and this is located in
the southwest district where a build
ing must be built soon to relieve the
congestion Of the Columbus and Lin
coin schools. The budget shows an
increase for the city to meet of only
slight amount over the budget Of
1919, regardless of the fact that there
has been a very large increase in
teachers salaries and in the wages of
ianitors and in costs of supplies. The
reports of the finance committee giving
all of the figures connected with the
budget follow:
Budget to be Raised for Year.
The finance committee makes the
following estimate of receipts and ex-
penditures of school moneys for the
ensuing year to aid in determining to
