A FORMAL ORDER
REACHESKENOSHA
Railroad Commission Sends
Formal Order Relative
to Wage Increase.

The formal statement Of the Wis
consin Railroad Commission in regard
to the Kenosha street railway wages
of trainmen and the fare to be charged
reached Kenosha this morning. Here
is the statement of the commission
The Railroad Commission by an
order issued this week, confirmed the
wage scale set for the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric company's transportation
department at Kenosha by the Board
of Cancellation. The score is for
motormen and conductors; for first
year, SIS cents per hour; for second
year, So cents per hour; for third year
and thereafter, 81 cents per hour.
Wages Were Too Low.
This scale is made retroactive dat
ing from August 1, 1920. The award
by the Board of Cancellation was
made September Is. At the hearing of
the matter before the Railroad Com
mission on October 18th, the company
submitted testimony to the effect that
since the Board of Cancellation award
laDof conQlLlonS IN kenoSha nave
changed materially; that a number OF
manufacturing industries were laying
off men, or running on part time, and
this had operated to make it possible
to obtain employees at rates lower
than the award. The Railroad Com
mission discussing this said that the
changes in the labor situation were
not of sufficient magnitude to war
rant any change in the award.
In the same order the Railroad Com
mission authorized the respondent
company to place in effect on one days
written notice, the following new
street railway fares: Adults, cash fare
Z cents; tickets sold on cars, for SO
cents; children, cash fare, 4 cents.

KENOSHA SCOUTS
MEET IN RACINE
KenOsha Boy Scouts Make
Splendid Showing in the
Lake Shore Meet.
SELL SAVINGS STAMPS

Kenosha Boy Scouts made a SPLEEN
did showing Saturday afternoon in the
Lake Shore Inter-City Meet, held in
Racine. The meet was scheduled for
two o'clock at Horlick's Field and was
well attended by many Racine folks.
The Kenosha Scouts left on the 1887
Lake Shore Line accompanied by David
Fogwell, Scout executive.
Waukegan, Sheboygan, Evanston, Ke-
nosha, Racine and several other Lake
Shore cities had teams entered and al
though the result is not vet crtain,
Racine, to all appearances, is practic-
ally sure of winning the meet.
Scouts Enter Events.
Kenosha was entered in wall scaling
first aid, fire by friction, water boil
ing, tent pitching, dressing race and
signalling. Although the Kenosha
Scouts had had little experience due
to the little attention given scouting
throughout the war, the Kenosha boys
made very favorable showing. More
attention is given to scouting during
the present period, however, and prac-
tically every boy in Kenosha has awak-
ened to the fact that scouting is some
thing of value to give him.
Sell Savings Stamps.
The Boy Scouts are out now working
for the further sale of War Savings
Stamps. The War Department recent
ly got in touch with the scout execu-
tive of the city and has requested him
to allow the scouts to carry out cam
paign of thrift. The contest will con-
test will continue until the 18th of No
vember.
The Kenosha team entered for the
meet in Racine were: Ray Randall, Al
Schut, Eddie Ernst, Charles Kavegin,
Roger Soulen, Irwin Rapp, Melvin
Shaulk and Charles Bullamore.

that is to be delivered during his term
as president. The speech will be read
before the Goth congress ON December
9Th, when the new body will first meet.
President Wilson has been at work on

known that he had not confded in any

BURGLARS LOOT
new SHOE STORE
Store of NJ. Stern, Opened
Saturday, Visited by
Burglars.
LOOT VALUED AT $500

M. Stern opened new shoe store
on Grand avenue just west of the
Northwestern railway tracks on Sat
urday morning and the offering of the
new clean stock proved attractive not
only to a lot Of people who patronized
the place during the day, but also to
burglars who looted the store during
the might. Some time in the early
hours of Sunday morning burglars
broke into the new shoe store and
carried away with them shoes to the
value Of more than three hundred
dollars. The burglars were discrim-
mating fellows and they showed care
to select among the best shoes to be
found in the whole stock. The booty
included thirty-one pairs of ladies'
slippers, twenty-one pairs of mems
shoes, six pairs of ladies' shoes and an
equal number Of children's shoes.
Put 'Empties" Back on Shelves.
The men guilty Of the burglary had
evidently visited the store during the
day and had carefully spotted just
what they wanted to take. After the
shoes had been secured the empty
boxes which had held them were placed
back on the shelves The men APP
peared to know shoes and it appeared
that shoes was the only thing they
were looking for There was some
money left in the store but this was
not molested by the burglars.
The place had been closed up by Mr..
Stern just before midnight on Saturday
night and before he left the store the
stock had all been cleaned up and the
store was as neat as pin.
Enter by Rear Window.
The thieves made their entrance to
the store through rear window lead
ing into one Of the store toilet rooms.
In order to reach the window a lad
der had been placed at the rear of the
store and the burglar must have been
decidedly small man in order to
squeeze himself through the small
window. Once in the store the rear
door was unlocked and the stock of
shoes was taken out in this way.
Stern discovered the burglary just
after nine o'clock Sunday morning
and notified the police.
The thieves left nothing behind to
serve as clew to their identity and
as yet no arrests have been made in
the case.

DAREDEVIL HOP"
FALLS TO DEATH
Charles Hopkins, Kenosha
Parachute Jumper Is
Instantly Killed.
FELL THOUSAND FEET

Charles Hopkins, aged 81 years, and
better known as Dare Devil Hop" met
instant death in horrible form at
Beloit on Sunday afternoon when the
parachute with which he had dropped
from an aeroplane failed to open and
he plunged down thousand feet.
Nearly every bone in his body was
broken. The first word of the death
of Hopkins reached Kenosha just after
seven o'clock this morning and up to
a late hour this afternoon his friends
in the city had not received full details
of the accident.
Hopkins had been in the parachute
game for several months and had made
many successful drops from aeroplanes
at Central Park and other pleasure re-
sorts in and about Kenosha. He left
Kenosha two weeks ago to make a
round of places for exhibitions and his
relatives here had not known OF his
plans to make jump at Beloit. 1t is
expected that the remains will be
brought here for burial.
Thousands Witness Fall.
Hopkins was killed just after four
o'clock Sunday afternoon and while the
skies were overcast great crowd had
turned out to witness the exhibition OF
his daring. He had chatted with peo-
pie on the ground minute before he
leaped into the aeroplane for the flight
and jump. He was in high spirits,
When the plane was little over
thousand feet in the air, Hopkins
jumped. The parachute failed to open
and his form came down with great
momentum. Just before he reached the
ground the parachute was released but
it was too late and he plunged to the
ground with such force that his life
was crushed out.
Liked Life of Daring.
Hopkins was a native of Wiscon-
sin and he has sister living at James
vile. For the past eight or nine years
he had made his home in Kenosha and
the daring of the balloon life appealed
to him very strongly. He had made
many successful flights in balloons and
when the men began jumping from ae-
roplanes with the parachute, he was
one of the first to take up the game.
The parachute which he was using was
the property of Peter Gales of this
city.
Hopkins was with the American
forces at the time of the Mexican in
vasion and drove trucks for the Mash
company. Later he was employed by
the government to drive trucks over
land during the war. Since the war he
had been employed at the Nash plant
as a riveter until short time ago
when he gave up his steady employ
ment to take to the parachute. At
times when he was not employed in
his daring trade he had worked with
Clyde Stoneman as a sign hanger.
Wife Died on Armistice Day.
Hopkins and his family were widely
known to Kenosha people. His wife,
Mrs. Florence Beatrice Hopkins, died
in Kenosha on November II, 1918. Hop
kins is survived by four children, two
of whom are now at Mooseheart. He
was one of the best known members Of
the Kenosha lodge of the Loyal Order
of Moose and it is expected that mem
bers of the order will make arrange
ments for the funeral.
