AUTO RUNS INTO
HOLE IN STREET.
Waterworks Company Opens Trench
at Fourteenth and Concert Street
and Ford Runs Into It Last
Night.
TRUCK BACKS INTO CAR
Engine Was Left Running in This and
Vehicle Started Down Seventh
from the Post
office.

A Ford automobile driven by Will
liam Carlson ran into an open street
excavation at Fourteenth and Concert
streets last night about midnight. The
front wheels OF the car went into the
opening. There were four people in
the car two men and two women
II is understood that all Of them were
more or less bruised in the accident
The trench was being opened up
by the Water Works company. Ac-
cording to Manager Scandland there
were lights marking the excavation.
Whether these were drowned out in
the storm or what happened no one
seems to be sure. Carlson did not
see any lights, according to the re-
port the police have, and one of the
lanterns was found in the street after
the accident.
The automobile was still in the
hole this morning.
Leaves Engine Running.
A truck belonging to Lagomarcino-
Grupe company and driven by a man
named Crumley was left with the en-
CINE running yesterday afternoon at
the postoffice curb. The engine vibra-
ton shook the car brakes loose or
something happened that the truck
broke away and commenced to back
down Seventh street 1t backed
across the alley and collided with
the automobile belonging to B. l.
Anderson, and broke the headlights.
According to the city officials it is
against the law to leave automobile
engines running, and it is probable
that informations will be filed as a
result of the accident last night. 1t
is "a common practise to stop trucks
and autos at the postoffice and 70
leave them unattended with the en-
CINE running. This practise is con-
trary to law, the officials say

$4,000 FARM
HOMES AWAIT
Why Rush to the City to Pay Prof
iteers High Rent When
Country Is Calling
For Help?

There are not less than $4,000
abandoned farm houses in this coun
try. and still the populace in the
cities struggle with rent protlteers
and crowds into small and unsatls-
factory living quarters, says the
Santa Ana Register.
There must be some among these
unhappily situated city jewellers who
could, if they would, seek out some
Of the abandoned farmhouses and
make them habitable, retaining at
least little of the farm land and
living more healthily and happily
than ever before. In many cases 1t
might be necessary for the father to
keep at his work in town, going out
to the country only for week ends, or
even not as often as that. But the
story of all pioneering is the story or
separation and hardship. If 1T meant

ing farm, why would it not be worth
the effort?
The reduction in expenses which
would result from cheaper rent and
lower clothing bills should provide
railway fare or trusty flivver in
which to go back and forth.
Back to the farm! Back to Gods
country, where the air is clean and
sweet, where the people are honest
and kind, where there is room for
privacy and the development of origi-
nality, where independence waits.
WHY do not more people go back?
There are $4,000 homes waiting.

Causes of Eve Strain.

The efficiency of the eye as work
ing instrument is reduced materially
by the presence of distracting OBJ
ject in the field Of vision, more par
ticularly if near to the eye and close
to the line Of sight. Such objects are
the dark and prominent rims of tor
toise-shell glasses, curved-eye shades
with dark Innings, and the like. BY
tending to cause the eye refiexly to
adjust for them rather than for their
work, these objects subject the eye to
unnecessary and harmful muscular
strain, eye experts declare.

WISCONSIN FIGHTERS
MAKING GOOD MONEY
Fans Paid S3O5, 900 to See Box
ers During Year.
Commission Has Managed Fistic At
fairs so Well That State Has Re-
ceived $15,s41.91 in Taxes
and Fees for Licenses.

During the fiscal year just closed,
the seventh for legalized boxing In
Wisconsin,, fistic fans paid out $780,
600 to Sc the mitt wielders in action.
The state received $15,S41.91 in taxes
and license money, more than twice
enough to pay the expense of conduct
ing the sport under the Hedding law
The commission has balance of $2S,-
106.75 in the state treasury, and 1t Il
the only commission under state SUI
pervision that is able to pay it's own
way.
There are 25 clubs in the state, and
with the Ellzs' club and the American
Legion posts taking an active interest
in boxing, Chairman Walter III. Ligin-
ger believes this number will be In
creased to 40 next season.
Since the state took over the super
vision of boxing 1t has been kept on
high plane, and nearly all the CON-
missions In the country are basing
their rules on the principles of the
Heddlng law. Due to the exacting de-
mands Of the commission, which en-
forces every rule on its books, there
has been little complaint from promo
ters or fans, but some fighters and
managers, who have felt the brunt OF
the commissions fist, think otherwise.
About twenty-five managers and
their fighters were suspended during
the year, the majority for minor Of
lenses. Two of them, Sammy Marine
and George Adams, were set down for
year, when found guilty Of partici-
pating In sham bout at Fond du Lac.
The three commissioners appointed
when the Hedding law went into eff.
feet in 1913, Chairman Walter FL
Liginger, William G. Hart and DR.. w
G. Morter, still hold their positions
all Of them having been reappointed
which proves they have used the
power Of their offices for the best In.
terests Of the game. Secretary Man.
ming Vaughn, named when the com
mission was formed, also is still In
office.
The commission made hit with the
newspapers when 1t ruled that press
row seats must be used by the work
ing press only. Visiting promoters
and other celebrities are not allowed
to occupy these chairs. If Jack
Dempsey wishes to see ring bout In
Wisconsin, he cannot get nearer than
the first row ringside.

himself so that he could not hear the

STAR PLAYERS PLAN STRIKE
Certain Members Of Playing Profes-
zion Organizing Union to De-
mand More Money.

Major league players who have been
noting the great crowds at champion
ship games are laboring under the de-
fusion that they are overworked and
underpaid. In spite Of the fact that
salaries are higher than ever this sea-
son, certain members Of the playing
profession are said to be organizing a
union for the purpose Of making a
concerted demand for more money
next winter.
1t is understood that former direc-
tors Of the defunct Players fraternity
are at the head Of this movement,
and that they have been working Sc
cretly to perfect the new organization
for the past two months.
The magnates are wise to the situ-
alton, and are preparing for a strug-
gle that may take the form of gen
eral strike when new contracts arc
sent out. The players who are the
ringleaders include some who have
seen their best days.

CHANGES IN RUGBY FOOTBALL
Punt Out Following Touchdown Ia
Abolished and Kick for Goal
in Front of Posts.

Rugby football enthusiasts should
remember two important changes in
the rules effective this fall. The first
is that the punt out following touch
down is abolished. Hereafter the kick
for goal will be made from a point d.
rectly in front of the goal posts. The
second change is rule intended to
prevent roughing man having made
a forward pass. and from clipping
men obviously not in the play. This
play will be penalized.
