RAPS POLICE METHODS

A lecture on the police methods of
the larger cities of the country was de-
livered at the Rialto theater Saturday
evening by Lewis Harthill, one time
chief of police of Minneapolis. He is
not entirely pleased with those meth
ods. In fact he disapproyes of them.
That is putting the matter mildly. To
use the reporters customary term he
scored" them. 1t was talk to union
labor men and for them. He said that
the police of the big towns aim to pro-
tect the "big fellows" and to assist in
crushing labor. That the working man
gets no protection from them, he said,
basing his assertions on alleged inside
knowledge of how they operate. He
told the labor men that they will never
get a square deal when they come in
contact with police departments until
labor controls the departments.
There was a good crowd present and
the talk was interesting even if pal
pably partisan talk. 1t was illustrat-
ed.

MOTOR ACCIDENTS

/ Andrew Andrushieweiz of Racine,
travelling alone from Two Rivers to
Manitowoc in an automobile left the
concrete and had quite snlashup in
the deep ditch that lines the new CON
crete highway from the lake shore road
to the Shoto road last Sunday even
ing. He had just passed the rallied
portion of the road at the fill across
the Little Manitowoc marsh when the
glaring lights of an approaching car
blinded and confused him and he drew
over too far to the right into the soft
shoulder that borders the concrete and
then took a drop of about five feet.
The car was damaged considerably but
the driver received no serious injury
which was very lucky considering the
fall.
Alderman Kazda stopped his car on
the south approach to Tenth street
brbidge Sunday as the warning bell
had rung. A motorcycle with a side
car came across the bridge from the
north despite the warning. \ bridge
tender stepped out on the south ap-
proach to stop him. To prevent hitting
the tender the motorcyclist swerved
and went smash into Kazda's car
ripped off a fender and otherwise dam
aged the car and sped away before
anyone could get his number
John Stiefvater lost control of his
car on North Eighth street Saturday
and took a header into the car of DIR.
Andrews standing at the curb in front
of his residence Stiefyater's attack
ing vehicle came out second best and
the owner had to cali for a tow line
to get away
Otto Jierke, living near Kiel, died at
a Sheboygan hospital twenty-four
hours after the car in which he was 20
ing to dance hit culyert near
Cleveland last week. The car was over
turned and Jierke suffered broken
back Two companions were not in
jured. Jierke is survived by his par
entS and two brothers.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

The Manitowoc High school football
team lost to Shawano last Saturday at
Shawano by score of l6 to 0. The
local boys said on their return that
they didn't take the defeat to heart so
much. (They have become used to
that lately) but they did take objec-
tion to the rough tactics of their op-
ponents. They said that while foot
ball is not young ladies' parlor game,
neither is it a slaughter house sport,
and that the rules against slugging are
at least colorably observed among
sportsmen. Not so at Shawano. Sev-
cral of the players came home fit for
a hospital. The crowds on the side
lines displayed the same vicious, small
town partisanship and interfered with
the Manitowoc players whenever they
had the opportunity. So the boys say,
but nobody listens to loser finding
fault. The thing to do is to fight out
the season and never mind the treat
mcnt. While the score is all that goes
into the record books. A consciousness
of doing ones best and preserving
Sportsmanship worthy of the school is
"A victory in itself.

FOX RANCH STOCKED

The Two Rivers Fox company of
which Adolph Kummerow is president
and Albert Braun secretary, last week
received ten silver black foxes from
parties who own ranch and are ex-
tensiye breeders, near Wausau. The
animals are fine specimens and are val
ued at $1,000 each. The Two Rivers
Fox company, which was recently or
ganized, has leased ten acres of land
of Mr.. Henry Goedien and four acres
have already been fenced in. The To-
cation is an ideal one for the purpose
and the company anticipates a success
full future. The business will be con
Quoted on an extensive scale and most
Of the foxes raised will be sold for
breeding purposes. The fur of these
animals is in great demand and brings
high price. The company Is incor-
porated for $4,000 and some of our
leading citizens are stockholders.
The Lodi Bros. of Tisch Mills re-
Gently purchased pair of black foxes
which are valued at $4,000 and will es.

Gosz of Rockwell, went overseas with
the Fourth division having gone to
Camp Custer with one of the early
contingents from the second district of

ing in action" on Oct. 16, 1918. BY a
letter found on his body he was identi-
fed. The letter was addressed to j. NJ.
G., the rest of the name being miss

means the Identification was made COM
plete, and the record was changed to
"killed in action" The body arrived

BASCULE BRIDGE DANGER

1t was thought when a two-leaf bas-
cule was built for Tenth street that
the problem Of protecting street traf-
iic would be solved, as it was thought
the rising leaves would automatically
prevent vehicles running into the river
1t was a complete success in that re-
spect but the rising platforms them
selves created a new danger. The bells
rung to warn drivers of the imminent
raise do not seem to be sufficient TO
accomplish the purpose. The latest
instance of this was Saturday after
noon when Hugo Jonas, driving Ford
coupe, drove up onto the south side of
the bridge as it started to 20 up. The
car toppled over and fell Mr.. Jonas
received some severe cuts and bruises
and the car was quite badly damaged.
There seems to he no reliable substi-
nte for policeman at each end of
the bridge.

many idle hands, and improve condi-

In the midst of political excitement
it was pleasing to hear Gladstone
voice raised in the interests of human
ity Gladstone sympathizes with the
condition of the Armenian and de-
mands instant action against Turkey.
One perceives the source of Glad
stones strength in his intense honesty.
He may be a partisan but he is so from
depth of conviction. In these times OF
political shams one gets inspiration for
good in the events Of Gladstones life

Supt Dassler came within few
votes of being reelected and would
have succeeded but for the shrewd tao
tics of the populists. Nothing can be
said against the successful candidate,
Mr. Smith. Had he been the superin-
tendent and given the satisfaction Mr..
Dassler has, the same objection would
be urged against change. The position
is now in politics and is liable to
change every two years. That is not
a matter for congralulation.
