Rolling Mills company plant here was
burning unchecked at noon, threaten
ing the adjacent plant of the Ameri-
can Car & Foundry company and kind
ling a dozen other smaller fires with
flying sparks in various parts of the
city. A thousand men were fighting
the flames. Private fire fighting equip
ment of the two companies are being
assisted by apparatus rushed from
nearby towns. The rolling mill was a
mass of flames at noon, the fire being
famed by high strong wind. The
fight against the fire has been greatly
hampered by excessive heat which has
driven fighters back. Officials of the
company said that more than block
Of property had been wiped out and
estimated the loss at between $3.50, 900
and $1,000,000. The origin of the
blaze is unknown as the plant was
completely enveloped in flames by the
time the first fire fighting apparatus
arrived. Sparks and burning embers
were carried by the high strong wind
to all parts of the city south of the
plant A dozen volunteer fire brigades
rushed to one spot after another as
ambers lit on roofs and porches, caus-
ing numerous small fires. $50 employ
ees of the rolling mills were among
the volunteers. The rolling mills are
an auxiliary company to the American
Car & Foundry company.

School Commissioner Obey Demands Abolition
of Junior High Schools of City in His
Report to School Board.
WAIT UNTIL KENOSHA is READY
Commissioner Declares Junior High Schools Have
Ruined Entire System and Demands Two New
Buildings or Their Elimination.

Declaring that the junior high
schools were "the fly in the ointment"
and that they had ruined the school
system of Kenosha," School Commits
sioner Obey in report as chairman
Of the committee on buildings and
grounds, came out solidly for the
abolition of the junior high schools
until such time as Kenosha could es-
tablish them in the proper way. He
insisted that by doing away with the
junior high system and reverting to
the former grade method a large
amount of money could be saved the
city and a way could be provided
Whereby every pupil could have full
time instruction with the present
building facilities.
The erection of two new school
buildings devoted entirely to junior
high school work was declared to be
the only way in which the junior high
schools could be kept without running
the entire school system of the city
and Commissioner Obey asked that the
junior high schools be discontinued
until such facilities could be secured.

that the junior high schools by oc:u-

JURY AWARDS
NOMINAL sum
P. r. SavilIes is Awarded
$500 Damages in Suit
Against C. Ellis.
SOUGHT BIG DAMAGES

An interesting case came to a close
in the Kenosha county Circuit court
on Tuesday afternoon about four
o'clock when the jury in the Savilles vs..
Ellis case awarded the plaintiff SIS 90
damages with the costs of the action
to be paid by the defendant. The jury
after half hours deliberation brought
in a verdict awarding one dollar dam
ages, but were ordered back by Judge
Belden for new verdict since nom
inal damages in this instance could
not be less than S. CO. A few minutes
later the new verdict was secured
The costs in the case will not be
more than $50 according to the state
ments of attorneys. Savilles had sued
for $500 on the grounds that he had
suffered humiliation and chagrin
enough to warrant these damages
Color Line Was Issue
The case was interesting since
Savilles, q negro, alleged that Ellis as
taxi cab operator had drawn the col
or line and by refusing to carry him
to his home had caused him chagrin
and humiliation. Ellis on the other
hand contended that Savilles had
climbed into the taxi and by his pres
ence had prevented him from secur-
ing three lady passengers, who refus-
ed to ride in the taxicab with Savilles.
Ellis maintained that he had offered
to take Savilles to his home in the
event that he would pay the same
amount which his presence had forced
him to lose. Savilles had refused to
leave the car and Ellis brought him
to the police station. He was not held
there but later he filed suit on the
grounds that the case had caused him
no end of humiliation.
