SEVEN CAUGHT
in AUTO CRASH
Goodman Family Of Chica-
go Have Real Experience
on Way Through City.
one WOMAN INJURED

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Goodman, their
son, William Goodman, and his wife
and three small children, all residing
at 1912 Eastwood avenue, Chicago,
faced grave danger in Kenosha just
before FIVE o'clock Tuesday afternoon
when big Moon automobile in which
they were riding was more or less
wrecked in a collision with an auto
mobile driven by Sam Rubenstein Of
Kenosha. The accident occurred at the
corner Of Sheridan road and Market
street. All of the members of the
Goodman party were taken to ST. Cath
crimes hospital but later it was de-
clared that the only member of the
party severely injured was Mrs. Will
liam Goodman. She was seriously cut
and bruised and may be in the hospi-
tai for several days. That other mem
bers Of the party were not more seri-
ously injured appeared to be something
of miracle.
Little Girls Narrow Escape.
One Of the little Goodman girls had
a miraculous escape from injury. At
the time of the collision she was
thrown through one of the doors of
the automobile and she struck in the
street but fell on suitcase which had
been thrown from the automobile and
she was no more seriously injured than
to have slight cut on the leg. Every
member of the Goodman party was
badly shaken up and one side of the
Goodman automobile was badly dam
aged. The Goodman automobile was
going south on Sheridan road at very
moderate rate of speed and the Ru-
bernstein automobile was coming east
on Market street. Ruberstein did not
see the Goodman automobile until it
came onto Market street.
Say Driver Was Confused.
At the police office today it was de-
clared that the evidence gathered indi-
Gated that Rubenstein, who was driv-
ing new car, was confused. The
Goodman car had the right-of-way and
it was pretty well over the crossing
when it was struck by the other auto
mobile. The police declare that Ru-
bernstein was believed to have made a
real effort to stop his car but that his
foot caught the acceleratoF rather than
the brake and that it leaped forward
and struck the rear end of the Good
man automobile. No arrests were made
in connection with the case and it was
expected that the matter of damages
would be settled ont Of court sora o+iv' !

Rent Hogs Quick
TO FoILOw SOIOns

Rent hogs" in Kenosha lost no time
in taking advantage Of the action Of
the legislature in the declaration that
Milwaukee was the only city in the
state which was in need Of state regu-
lation Of the prices to be charged for
apartments and houses and it is de-
clared that with the announcement
that rents will not be regulated in Ke-
nosha under the direction Of the rail-
road commission there has been sud-
den soaring. The first of June brought
large increases in charges for rent in
many places in Kenosha. Reports
reaching the Evening News indicated
today that in many places, particularly
apartments, increases of 200 in rent
had been made effective on Tuesday,
following increases Of less than three
months ago In some eases the men
owning the property declared that the

Kenosha Girls Who Were
Riding with Two Sailors
Wanted as Witnesses.
STILL HELD
Mockus Fighting for Life at
Hospital Is Unable to Make
Any Statement.

While John Mockus, terribly injured
in an automobile accident on the North
Shore road on Sunday morning, was
fighting for life at the St. GATHERINGS
Hospital today, the sheriff and his men
were searching for two young women
and two sailors from the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station who are sought
in connection with the case. The two
girls are declared to be Kenosha wom-
en- and they were in the automobiles of
Anton Newbauer when it went over
Mockus' and caused the injuries from
which the man is expected to die.
The word from the hospital today
offered little encouragement for the
recovery of Mockus. On Tuesday af-
ternoon Sheriff Meyer and one of his
deputies went over to the hospital and
made an effort to get statement from
Mockus but his condition was such
that he could make no statement. The
district attorney was making similar
effort today.
Girls in Automobile
The young women who were in the
automobile were declared to have been
theSfriends Of the two sailors from the
naval training station and Newbauer
told the sheriff on Tuesday evening
that he did not know the names of the
girls. He said that he believed that
he could Identify the two sailors if he
saw them again and he offered to &c
with the officials to the training sta
ton in an effort to make such an iden-
tifcation. He declared that so far as
he knew he had not seen the two men
before they got into the car on the
morning of the accident. According
to the story of Newbauer, it was the
two men from the station who carried
Mockus from the automobile and
placed him in the basement of the
hospital.
The man Petkus who was with Mock
Us at the time of the accident declared
to the sheriff on Tuesday that he fol-
lowed the Newbauer car from Central
Park to Kenosha. He said he feared
that Mockus had been killed and that
the two sailors might make an effort
to throw him out of the car somewhere
along the road.
Many People Saw Accident.
The officials have been advised that
many people witnessed the accident in
which Mockus was injured and efforts
are now being made to find these peo-
pie and get their statements. Nc
charge has been placed against New
bauer and it was stated that no charge
would be placed against him at this
time. Newbauer is showing a great
interest in the condition of Mockus
and his friends have shown a willing
ness to do everything possible for the
injured man.
The men at the sheriff's Office this
morning declared that they hadn't the
slightest idea who the two young WON
en- connected with the case were. They
declared. however, that they knew that
they were Kenosha women and that
they hoped to locate them later.

to get the materials at any cost. All
of the contractors who have submit
ted bids declare that it would be very
hard to give any assurance that the
work would be done this year even if
contracts were let.
Mayor Against "Cost-Plus."
Mayor Joachim has declared that he
is not favorable to the system of cost
plus in street paving. He declared
that even if the officials of the city
could be assured that the city would
get an absolutely fair deal that it
would be hard to assure the people
owning property that the work was
not done in wasteful way On account
of the fact that it was being done I'M
der the auspices of the city rather
than by contract.
1t is expected that the council will
have flood of protests at its next
meeting and that these will dispose of
the paving program for the year.
Pleasant street, North Lyman avenue
and Valentine street have already been
cut from the program and protests
have been received from property own
ers on Racine avenue asking that the
work be laid over.

COST CITY $4,000
ON ALLEN PLAN
Harbor and Breakwater
Committee Has Estimate
Of Costs for Plan.
SEEKING new OFFER

1t is going to cost the city in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to accept the
proposition of the N. R. Aliens Sons
company for swap Of land to make
possible the Strengthening of Main
street and the building Of the new
bridge. This is the figure given in an
estimate which is now in the hands of
the harbor and breakwater committee
of the council and which is to be pre-
sented to the council at its next meet
ing probably on Monday evening.
The estimate of the Greiling Broth
ers has not as yet been received but it
is said that it viii be very close to the
estimate now in the hands of the COM
mittee When an investigation was
made, it was found that the prelimin-
airy estimate on the cost of strength
ening the docks and breakwaters was
low. These docks are in bad condition
and the estimated cost Of the work of
putting them into first class condition
shows that the work will cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000 The cost of
dredging the river to the west of the
new DIlQS6 uuueI bIiS eSLlludte VI The
engineers and of Greiling Brothers will
be about $1,000.
While the leaders in the fight for
the new bridge do not want to go on
record as favoring the expenditure OF
$4,000 for this work, they are Of the
opinion that the proposition which has
been made by the Allen company is
the cheapest way out of the city's
difficulties. It is just possible that
before final action is taken in the mat
ter the Allen company will agree to
pay some Of the cost Of the work which
must be done in order to provide them
with modern facility for handling
coal shipments.
Mayor Joachim said this morning
that no effort would be made to get a
new agreement with the Allen company
until after full data on the case was
secured.
