KENOSHA AUTOMOBILE
SlMASHES A STORE FRONT
Car Driven by Clifford Dolan Wrecks
the Front of the Quality Shop
in Racine.

Three large plate glass windows
were broken and other damage done
Sunday evening at 9:1O o'clock when
an automobile driven by Clifford Dolan,
a well 'driller of Kenosha, backed into
the Quality Shop at 502 Monument
Square, Racine. The damage is est.
mated at between $500 and 5000 by
David Greenberg, who conducts the wo-
men g apparel store. in addition to the
store front the articles Of apparel
comprising the window display were
damaged.
Officer John Brookens, who travels
the Main street beat, witnessed the ae-
cident and took Dolan in custody. The
young man put up his automobile as
security. He is due to appear in the
municipal court this afternoon to an
swer charge of reckless driving.
Together with another gentleman and
two girl friends Dolan drove to Racine
Sunday evening in the auto. He was
endeavoring to turn around on Monu-
ment Square, and was backing up in
the roadway opposite the Quality Shop.
Owing to the accumulation Of ice in the
street, the roadway is nearly flush with
the side walk. Consequently when Do
Ian put the machine in reverse, and the
brakes refused to work the automobile
leaped backward and crashed into the
windows, smashing three panes Of glass.
The sound Of the falling glass attract
ed a large crowd of people.

Commissioner Of Public
Works Hurtgen Ready to
Show Comparative !
Costs of Collection.
SUGGESTS USE Of HORSES
Costs of Collection Under Plan Might
Show Considerable Reduction over
Motor Truck Plan-Council to De-
eide After Getting Figures.

Commissioner of Public Works Peter
Hurtgen is making some interesting
figures for the consideration of the
Common Council in connection with
the proposed general collection of gar
bage in the city. These figures are
based on costs with motor collection
and on the cost with collection with
one horse wagons. The city has its
own figures on actual costs for motor
collection and with the entire garbage
of the city being taken in, the cost
would be considerable. There has been
no decision reached to go back to the
plan of collecting with horse and wag-
on but the aldermen are interested
in knowing just what it would cost
under this plan.
With seven wagons IN operation dur
ing the first year Commissioner Hurtgen
estimates that the cost of handling the
garbage would be little over $31, 900.
This is hot given as collection cost as
the first year would require the pur-
chase of very large amount of equip
ment. Estimates of the maintenance
cost of the collection system would place
it somewhere in the neighborhOod Of
$4,000 a year,
Labor cost is Big Item.
The labor cost is the big item Of the
account and this is estimated to be
around $4,000 year. This includes
the care of teams. The cost of super
intendence will add to this bill nearly
two thousand dollars a year and in
addition the city must provide for the
depreciation of the equipment.
If the city expects to collect the gar
bage from all homes a considerable in
vestment must be hade in motor trucks.
1t was estimated some time ago that
the cost of this equipment wound be in
the neighborhood of twenty thousand
dollars while to equip the system with
horse drawn single wagons would be
considerably less than half of this
amount. 1t is said that in a number
of cities visited by the special garbage
crew the plan of collecting with wagons
instead of trucks had been shown ad-
vantageous.

Enlisted in Montana.

Sailor Allen Lyons enlisted early in
the war. He was at that time living
in Montana and has ncver resided in

to her.
1t is expected that word from the

"Prospects of Kenosha's having the
mammoth airplane assembling plant

air liners which are to be put into ac-
tual passenger carrying service between
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans this

ing Of cooperation and encouragement
your progressive spirit is giving us, !"

several owners and owners representa-
tives of available land apparently
adaptable for our purposes as a landing

these big ships which will sweep into

FRANK NEWBAUER
STRUCK BY TRAIN
Soldier Home on Furlough
Has Narrow Escape When
Auto Which He Is Driv-
ing Is Smashed.
ing Is Smashed.

Narrowly escaping death in the col
lision with Chicago and Northwestern
passenger train which smashed his new
Chandler Sedan into spinters, Frank
Newbauer extricated himself from the
debris and calmly lighted a cigarette
as he reviewed the remains Of his auto
mobile at Birch station on the Birch
road shortly after three O'Clock on
Thursday afternoon The young man
was taken to the hospital but an ex-
animation showed that his wounds con-
sisted of only a few slight scratches
and he soon returned to the scene Of
the accident to gather up the frag-
ments of his automobile.
Is Home On Frirlough.
Young Newbauer is q soldier of the
United States army and is at his home
on Racine avenue on three weeks
furlough. Friday he had been to Mil
waukee in his car and was returning
home when shortly three 0 o'clock as he
was returning and was at the crossing
of the Birch road and the Chicago and
Northwestern railway, known as Birch
station, the 1886 passenger train, which
was late, ran into him, smashed his car
and knocked him several feet away,
A Very Dangerous Crossing.
This is very dangerous crossing.
The electric line and the Northwestern
tracks run parallel at this point and
the Milwaukee road crosses them both
diagonally. In addition there is a big
curve which renders it impossible for
one to see on the tracks at a great dis
lance. Neubauer was coming south and
SO was the trains and just as he got on
to the tracks the train struck him. The
train hit Newbauer broadside and
every one who saw it thought that he
was surely killed. But imagine their
surprise to see the young man emerge
from the splinters of his auto, light a
cigarette, and calmly view the remains
of his car. He was brought to the hos
pital but his injuries were not pro-
nounced sufficient to make it necessary
to stay.

Him for Organization
Chief.

Messages from Aurora, Ill, today
state that the new Chamber of Com
meree in that city is flirting with Rich
ard Francis, who recently resigned his
Office as secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce in Kenosha. Aurora is work
ing out organization problems in con
nection with its civic body and Mr..
Francis has been asked to give it some
advice. Members OF the Aurora organ
ization have been investigating the
work done by Mr.. Francis in Kenosha
and he has been given the highest pos
sible recommendations by fellow work
ers in Kenosha.
May Be rendered Office There.
1t is admitted by the Aurora leaders
that they are much interested in the

ton. Mr.. Francis has not been an APP
plicant for the office
W. H. Afford, chairman of the spe-

Praised by Officer.

The death message only partially
clears the mystery. Tt is letter of
confidence from E. F. Ingram, the chief
commanding steward of the United
States naval training station and ex-
presses regret that her son, ALLEN Ly-
ons, was dead. There are no details of
the death and the mother cannot under
stand why she was not told officially Of
the illness and death of her son. It is
presumed that he had fallen a victim
to influenza and pneumonia although no
confirmation of this has yet been re-
ceived.
The Kenosha Red Cross has been in
formed of the death and is making ev-
cry effort to find all of the details Of
the case.
