ENGR0SSES BILL FOR
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Wisconsin Will Take Proper Care of
Wounded Soldiers Under Bill
Advanced Today.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

Madison = The Senate unanimously
engrossed the Huber bill calling for a
memorial hospital for treatment Of
shell shocked Wisconsin soldiers this
morning. Action of the upper house
is taken to indicate the willingness of
the legislature to hurry the measure
through, SO work may start on the
project early this summer. Under the
proposed plan 100000 will be spent
on a permanent hospital to be located
at Governors Island in Lake Men
dota at Madison. The remainder of
the $250,000 provided will be used for
construction of we'll equipped barracks
to house additional soldiers, and for
complete equipment to treat the SOL
diers suffering from mental disorders.
Little objection rose to engrossment
of the Kleist bill to permit cities to
engage in the purchase, sale and stor-
age of food produts. The measure,
which Attorney General William Nor
gan has held unconstitutional, was
then laid over until next week when
final consideration will be given. The
attorney general has ruled that the
bill would permit cities to use public
money for a private purpose which
would be out of conformity with the
constitution. Issue has been taken to
this stand, however, and if passed the
matter would be carried to the supreme
court.
Rules were set down governing cad
dy boys on golf links, by passage of
the Jennings bill in the senate. 1t
provides that boy II years old could
caddy with the written consent of his
parents, but that no boy under Ia
would be permitted to go more than
10 holes in any one day.
The governor will be asked to sign
the Prescott bill localizing provisions
of the federal Mann act to Wisconsin
as a result of concurrence in the SEN
ate this morning The measure pro-
vides drastic regulations of vice, with
stringent penalties should there be any
violations of the act. 1t is expected
that Governor Blaine will sign the bill
A bill of Senator Olson, stripping
the highway commission of much of its
power, was killed on recommendation
of the committee on highways. Sena-
tor Olson asked that the committee
report be accepted.

LITTLE BOY HIT
BY AUTOSYNDAY
Kasimer KamiOs Has Leg
Broken When Struck by
Car Late Sunday.
RAN INTO STREET

Kasimer Kamios, aged years, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Kamios, re-
siding at Is North Main street, met
very severe injuries just after four
o'clock Sunday afternoon when he was
run down by an automobile driven by
John Bruins of 271 Lake avenue. The
accident occurred on Grand avenue at
the west end Of the Grand avenue
bridge and Bruins and other occupants
of the car which struck the little fell
low declared that the accident was
unavoidable. The little boys leg was
broken below the knee and he suffered
severe bruises. He was taken to the
Kenosha hospital by a passing auto
mobile and his injuries were cared
for by DR.. George E. Thompson. This
morning the hospital attendants re-
ported that the little boy was doing
fine and would recover but that he
would be laid up for weeks with the
broken leg.
The mother of the boy was a witness
to the accident. She was walking with
the boy along the south walk of the
bridge and the boy ran out into the
street as he left the end Of the bridge.
In the automobile with Bruins were
Joseph Warner and two young ladies.
The automobile was a one-seated Ford
car and it was admitted that it was
pretty badly crowded, but Bruins told
the police this morning that he had
not been hampered in driving the car
on account of it's crowd Of passengers.
He asserted that the accident was an
unavoidable one.

KENOSHAN'S KIN
IN DIRE DANGER
Auto Driven by Upper
. White Goes Amuck in
Hole in Road.
NO ONE IS INJURED

Kenneth White, the we'll known Ke-
nosha architect chad the scare Of his
life" as he admits, on Sunday morn
ing when he was notified by a long
distance telephone call from his father
Frank Upper White, of Chicago, that
the son and brother, F. Oakley Upper
White, driving large touring car had
driven into the lakes somewhere near
Twin Lakes and that several occu-
pants of the car had been drowned
The Kenosha Mr.. White fastened to
Twin Lakes and with the aid of friends
secured the countryside for news of
the accident.
Meanwhile two other brothers, Au-
brey and Rector White of Chicago
fastened in another automobile to the
north to find some trace of the "vic-
tins of the accident"
Found Eating Breakfast.
The missing motorists were found
all unhurt, at the farmhouse of Frank
Pennington near Long Lake, where
they were eating breakfast unaware of
Chc dAAtSLy OIL IuGlE relatives.
The "lake" into which they had
been hurled was large sink hole in
the Rollins road at the foot of Grubbs
Hill The water had proved deeper
than the driver of the car had antici-
pated and the car was stalled in the
midst of it. The men were forced to
wade out carrying the women to safe
ty. The party spent the night at a
farmhouse as they were forced to
abandon the automobile.
With Upper White and his wife
were Frank M. Elliot, his wife and
daughter, Victoria, and Bryan G. Dry
den. The party had started on a
spring fishing trip to Twin Lakes,
which was brought to sudden halt
by the automobile accident.
The exaggerated reports of the &C
cident resulted from the fact that a
passerby reported the license number
to Chicago detective agency, telling
with an air of mystery that several
persons had been drowned as a result
of the accident.

Labor is Crux of
Building Problem
Crux of Building Problem
Today.

10 The labor situation seems to be the
crux of the building problem. Build
ing material costs are coming down.
The past week has witnessed some re-
auctions and these will undoubtedly
continue.
But the labor question remains I'M
certain, and until it is settled, nothing
can be said with assurance as to the
years building outlook.
There seems little doubt that labor
costs must, be reduced slong with 9TH
er costs. The reason for the high
wage scale was the high level of living
costs. With the reduction Of the lat
ter, justification for the former passes.
l believe organized labor in the
building trades will ultimately recog-
nize this condition and adjust itself 20
It. Wages will not descend to the
pre-war level, and should not. But la
Dor steadily employed at somewhat
lower wage than at present will, in
the long run, reap far greater bene-
fit than by the maintenance of false
scale which will prevent general en-
ployment.
The market for real estate securities
continues good. Safe and sound real
estate bonds. yielding from to per
cent, are in keen demand, and with the
stabilizing of building conditions,
there will be sufficient quantity of
these securities to meet the demand.
Despite the uncertainty which pre-
walls, number of building projects
are nevertheless going forward, and
bonds issued against them, when these
securities are offered by good houses
of issue and bear attractive interest
rates are selling readily. Investors are
insisting, however, that real estate Sc
curities bring them returns compar-
able to other securities.
On the whole, the week has been
encouraging and indicates that, de-
spite the building uncertainty, real
estate conditions are fundamentally
sound.

Stanley Neberoski Nabbed
in Moonshining Act To-
day by Crusader.
GETS LOTS OF HOOTCH
Five Gallons of Pure White
Moonshine Confiscated as
Evidence in Raid.

The crusading stables, John Scholey
and Ralph Moore this morning went
outside the city limits and motored to
Paris and paid formal call at the
home of Stanley Neberoski who it had
been alleged was a hospitable guest
hen it came to passing out liquid re-
freshments. The crusaders were not
disappointed and we're met at the door
by Mrs. Neberoski who recognized
Scholey "There amt no moonshine
here she said in shril voice, but the
trained noses of the crusaders gave
the constables reason to think that
she was stalling.
Pedler Opens Cases.
There was another visitor there also,
a fellow carrying suit case full of
bottles and looking as if he might have
some bearing on the case. "Open up
those suit cases." ordered Scholey and
the fellows smilingly obeyed. There
were rows and rows of bottles, some
partly filled, others full and some
nearly empty. And in some there
were alcohol but it was in the form
of lemon extract. The fellow turned
out to be a peddler who was out sell
ing spices and the usual home RENE
dies carried in stock by house to house
canvassers. He was released.
Incubator Dripping Booze"
The search continued for the moon
shine and the constables repaired to
the basement. There they found Stan
ley brewing his own. The white mule
Incubator" was running full tilt and
was dripping moonshine like the "gen-
tie rain from heaven" 1t was strain
ed also, to continue misquoting Shakes
peare and was of a poor colorless
nature without the least evidence of
sediment so usual in moonshine. Mrs.
Neberoski ran to one corner of the
basement and was about to hurl the
five gallon demijohn down when the
jug was taken from her by the stall
warth crusader Moore.
An examination Of the contents
proved that the stuff was pure and
unauthorized essence of spirits fru-
menti. The demijohn was carefully
guarded by the constables and taken
to the municipal court this morning
as evidence. The complete still was
also torn down and will be presented
at the court hearing. The two Ne
beroskis will be arraigned in the
municipal court tomorrow morning on
a moonshine charge.
Had Narrow Escape.
The crusaders had a narrow escape
from death when they returned to Ke-
nosha. Moore was driving the car
when they approached the st: Paul
railroad tracks, and failed to note that
a st Paul train was bearing down up
on them. Moore had just time to
throw on the brakes and avoid certain
death. "They had the right of way"
Moore said this morning, "but I'm
mighty glad that my brakes worked"
"They wanted to get across before we
did, Scholey stated, "and I'm glad the
brakes worked also"
