SAVED BY BEING
dashed TO MAST
Mrs. F. L. Hause and Baby
Narrowly Escape Death
i'm Lake Squall.
EN- ROUTE TO KENOSA

After being dashed to the boat for
more than four hours, while they were
at the mercy of the squall which broke
on Lake Michigan, Mr.. and Mrs. F. L.
Hause and o-year-old daughter, en-
route on a sailboat to Kenosha from
Saugiituck, Mich, were rescued from
the lake by the Evanston life guard
late Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Hause
was unconscious when land was reach
ed and the baby was suffering from the
exposure to which it had been sub
jected. Physicians declared, however,
that both would probably recover but
that they were saved just in time.
The trio set out on a vacation cruise
early Wednesday morning from Saugu-
tuck, intending to make the Kenosha
harbor by evening. Their thirty-foot
yawl was in charge of Capt. Charles
Conner, who negotiated the cruise sue
cessfully as far as Evanston. There
the storm broke.
Lash Wife and Child to Ship.
One of the masts of the ship was
snapped off by the first gust of the
wind, making the boat unmanageable.
The .yawl was tossed about on the
waves and as the storm grew worse,
the passengers were in constant danger
of being hurled into the lake.
The men roped Mrs. Hause to seat
in the boat and then tied the baby in
the mothers arms. They dashed them
selves to the boat by cords sufficiently
long to permit them to bail the water
out of the boat. They were in this
perilous position for several hours be-
fore they were finally sighted by the
Evanston life savers.
One of Crew Injured.
Captain Charles Garland of the Ev-
anston coast guard was on the lookout
at that station, scrutinizing the horizon
with a telescope. He picked out the
stranded ship when it was several miles
off coast and ordered out the life saw
ing crew. In taking the motor boat
from it's house, one of the crew, Ber-
nard DENNY, suffered a crushed leg and
was hurried to the Marine hospital in
Evanston.
The disabled sailboat foated several
miles further out into the lake before
it was overtaken by the life savers.
Conner and Hause were worn out by
their exertions when the rescue boat
arrived.
The sailing yacht "Wetonia" which
was rescued from the lake by the Ke-
nosha life savers on Wednesday after
noon, is still in the Kenosha harbor,
being repaired. It's owners expect to
take it home in a few days.

North Shore Homes Are
Dismantled by Thieves
During Night.

This Morning and Find Even
Victrola Missing.

Three summer cottages on the North
Shore at the county line were visited
by thieves, whose nerve, if not their
intentions, is extremely commendable.
The thieves knew that Edward Wade
WITT and family of Racine were visiting
in town and simply backed up an auto
mobile to the doors of the three cot
tages and helped themselves. 1t was
evident that the marauders took their
time about it, as women's dresses, doll
clothing, eatables, crockery and fine
chinaware, golf clubs and silver golf
trophy were missing.

The Wadewitz family are from Ra-
cine and the three summer cottages be-
long to the three Wadewitz cousins.
The summer cottages are right on the
lake front and are shielded from the
concrete road by dense woods. No
one who was not familiar with the
Wadewitz cottages would have known
how to get back to the resorts. Mrs.
Wadewitz was the first to learn of the
burglary, or rather wholesale thievery,
and notified her cousins, who also
found articles missing from their cot
tages. 1t is evident that the thieves
were assisted by a woman as several
articles of women's wearing apparel
were missing while mems clothing
which was hanging on the wall, was
left intact.

The Edward Wadewitz family has
just returned from California and had
not used the cottage much this year
However, a party of Racine young la

night and reported that they were not

of the three cottages stated that he
was approached by two young men yes

quite closely by the young men as to

Mate love" is stock phrase in nc

frank Greenwich village vocabulary
which is making its devastating prog
ress toward the west.
Today it cropped up in letter from
young man who desires a wife. He
is in dilemma, apparently, because he
refuses to see life as continuous
movie show and perpetual jazz.

This delightful exposition of what
one man wants in a bride is printed
with no thought of assisting him in
his search, but only as presenting to
girls the criticism of an observing per-
son, and as an outline of the model of
wife desired by one who plainly
would make devoted husband.

Doctor Randall
Not to Blame
Investigation Shows DIR. Randall Was
Not in Fault at All in Acct
dent on Friday.

Investigation of a report made to the
police that DR.. Randall had run down
a boy on bicycle while driving his
motor car, proved that the charge was
not at all founded on fact. DR.. Ran
dall's car was standing still when one
of number of boys riding bicycle
ran into the car and was knocked over.
Dr. Randall got out of his automobile
and asked all of the lads if they were
hurt and offered to aid them in any
way possible even though he was not at
all to blame for the accident. The re-
port carried of the accident in Satur-
days paper was misleading and this
opportunity is taken to correct the
error.

COURT RELEASES
EMIL KLNCHNEzRE
Councilman is Discharged
on Liquor Count by the
Municipal Court.
SAYS NO EVIDENCE

Emil Kinchner, an alderman from
the ninth ward, who was arrested on
August Goth when a raid was made
by the police upon saloon in which
the alderman is bartender, was dis
charged this morning in the munich
pal court when Judge Fully held that
the prosecution had failed to show
evidence that he was guilty of de-
stroying liquor that would have been
used as evidence. The whole case
rested upon the efficiency of the olfac-
tory nerves in the nose of Emil Meiss-
ner, the genial secretary of police.
According to the testimony, Kasimier
Kawulski who operates saloon at
1881 Salem avenue, was selling liquor
when the police raided the place.
Kinchner was behind the bar and upon
the entry of the blue coated visitors,
is said to have dumped the liquor in
the sink. The measure in which the
liquor was said to have been in was
brought along as evidence. The meas
ure was produced in court and marked
as Exhibit A for, the state. Attorney
Drury then maintained that there was
no evidence that the measure had con-
tanned any Intoxicating liquor. It was
then that Meissner's nose figured in
the case.
Discharges Defendants.
81 believe that Mr.. Meissner in his
capacity as secretary of police, is ia
miliar with the odors of intoxicating
liquors and that his statement may be
taken as evidence in this case," Judge
Clarkson maintained for the state.
Meissner then stated that he was IA
miliar with the characteristic doors Of
beer, vermuth, whiskey, moonshine,
''hooch," white mule" and those other
well known Intoxicating beverages.
The judge overruled the contention Of
the prosecution and discharged both
KawuIski and Kinchner on the grounds
that there was insufficient evidence to
warrant conviction.

Bert Goodman Doing
Nicely Says Doctor

Another one Of those wild rumors
was afloat in Kenosha over the week
end. This time it was to the effect that
Bert Goodman, who broke his right leg
while practicing with the High school
squad Friday, was being treated for
blood poisoning. This was blasted
however, when DR.. A. Van Westrienen
announced today that his patient is
coming along nicely and will be able
t. be removed from the Kenosha hos
pital within months time. He will
not play with the High school this
year, due to the accident. That's the
doctors order, SO Goodman will have
to obey. A visit to the hospital today
revealed the fact that the gridironer
is lonesome for his classmates. He
limited that he forgets the pain of his
broken leg when his friends are about.
Roger Robinson, who broke his collar
bone last week while working with the
High squad, will be back to school to
resume his studies the middle of the
week.
Open Season Saturday.
Coach Gibson will put his men
through strenuous weeks practice,
commencing tonight, in anticipation
for the opening game to be played at
West Allis Saturday. Allis has
stronger lineup this year than any
they have placed on the field heretofore
and win over this crew would be
feather in the hats of the local squad
West Allis defeated the alumni at the
State Fair park Saturday, Is to 0, scor-
ing their points in the second and third
periods, respectively.
In this game, Brown, Ellison and
Patterson of Carroll College played
with the alumni Pete Phillips, captain
of the High team, has an injured shout
der and was out of Saturdays fray,
while Plichta, star halfback, also was
out. West Allis is having the same
kind of luck the local eleven is expert
encing. Coach Paul Hagen, assisted by
last years Carroll College coach, John
Fries, have been drilling squad of
fifty huskies since school opened. The
alumni were strengthened by five foot
ball men of last year.
Despite the hard luck which has been
trailing Gibson's proteges, he is con-
fident of making up a beefy team to
fight against West Allis Saturday. To-
night at Mckinley school the High men
will have snappy workout. Passing,
tackling and punting being on the pro-
gram.

KENOSHA NIMR0D
GIVEN WARNING
Hunter Who Shot Hole in
Boat Has Nemesis
Afr Him.
WANTS A SETTLEMENT

This is the story Of a Kenosha duck
hunter who got in bad. Several weeks
ago he and number of friends went
up into the woods to shoot ducks and
someway or other he got his gun point
ed the wrong way and instead of max
ing the ducks scatter shot a hole
through the bottom of the boat.
That isn't all, either. 1t now ap-
pears that he must have plugged up
the hole and delivered his boat back to
the owner from whom he rented it
without saying anything about his bad
aim. Then he came home and told all
his friends about his splendid duck
hunting trip in the north. He had his
companions fixed, too, and all were
mum about the incident when they re-
turned to Kenosha.
But nary word about the hole in
the boat. No stree! And it might
have remained a secret for some time
had not the renter of the boat, know
ing other Kenoshans, written here re-
garding the. damage done to his fat
bottomed treasure.
l,.a Letter Tells 1t ALL
A letter written to Kenosha friend
by the man who let the Kenoshans have
The boat let the cat out of the bag this
morning. Itreads as follows:
Dear sir: MI
Your letter received. Now, l have
known you for number of years and
believe you are all right and am sorry
you were not along with that bunch Of
fellows. They were certainly not on
the square with me about the boat
They did not even tell my boy that the
boat was damaged. The boat belonged
to one of my neighbors and he rented
it to a fellow the next day and after it
was brought back he found the hole
and then said that that fellow shot a
hole nhis boat. We both went to Osh-
kosh and accused the fellow but he de-
MED lit up and down.
Was glad to get your letter telling
how it was done. Suppose now will
have to go to Oshkosh again or write
this man and it makes me feel awful
cheap. My neighbor thinks it will cost
about 20 dollars to have that boat fix
ed and suppose will have to get him
new paddle which will cost me five
dollars more.
1t doesn't seem right for bunch of
fellows like that to come up here for a
good time and then act the way they do
about these things. would not want
to rent any more boats to that kind Of
a crowd Well from what dealing we
have had I think that you will make
this matter satisfactory. can't help
but feel that the man that shot the
hole in the boat ought have told my
boy and then l would felt better about
it, and not got in bad with my neigh
Dor and the other man.
Well, think it will be settled all
right but not like the boat was.
Now 1t Is All Settled.
1t is said that the letter accomplish
ed its purpose and that now the affair
IS all settled satisfactorily by the Ke-
noshans. Incidentally the friends of
the Kenosha hunter are making life
miserable for him for the time being as
they tell Of his episode in the duck
hunting districts.

RUSSIA TO ABANDON
SOVIET IDEAL NOW
All Restrictions on Private CONNER

Removed Forthwith.
(By Edwin Hullinger)
United Press Staff Correspondent

Moscov-"The soviet government has
decided to return to private capital all
industries throughout Russia, save
four-railways and metallurgical, tex
tiles and fuel sources" N. Kameneff,
head of the Moscow soviet and mem
Der Of the bolshevik cabinet declared
in an exclusive interview with the
United Press today.
The complete scope of the soviet's
new economic policy was revealed BY
Kameneff who declared Russia is on
the eve of national reorganization OF
a most sweeping character which will
include re-installation OF large part
of the capitalist machinery abolished
in the revolutions of 1917.
The bolsheviki are ready, the cabinet
minister declared, to grant concessions
to American and other foreign CAPT
talists for the exploitation of natural
resources of Russia, such as coal, wood
and il. They are prepared to discuss
with foreigners whose property was
confscated in 1917 the question of
indemnity.
The new poilcy OF the soviet,
Kameneff said, meant that the gov
eminent was retaining the title to land
and buildings and leasing property to
private firms the same as the ordinary
landlord.
Gail restrictions upon private COM
mercial and industrial activity will
be removed forthwith" Kameneff said.
ave realize now it has proved impos-
sible to re-fashion society at one
stroke. We never would have gone to
such extremes if it had not been that
war conditions, both civil and foreign,
compelled iron measures to preserve
the soviet's existence"
