SAYS GUILTY LOVE
CAUSED BLINDNESS
And Cured it When Man Was Released
to Marry His Bigamous Wife

Milwaukee, statement that she
and her conferees had cured a victim
of hysterical blindness by relieving
him of his lawful wife and allowing
him to remain true to the woman he
had welded in bigamy, was made be-
fore the national social conference last
night by Miss Frances Perkins, mem
Der of the New York state industrial
commission. Her address, which was
greeted by moments hush, followed
by ordinations of surprise, still was
a topic of discussion today at was
ultra modern, to say the least" one of
the delegates said. "The man had
come before the board seeking indus
trial compensation, Miss Perkins said
He was blind, yet his eye reflex was
perfect, investigation revealed the VIC
tim to be suffering from neurosis. We
suspected some fear was preying on his
mind. Questioning brought out the
truth. The man was living in bigamy
with a woman who by all moral laws
was his wife because she loved him
and he loved her. The first wife had
been unkind and he had deserted her."

Blaine Knocks Out
Finger-Print Board

Madison Wisconsin will be deprived
of the finger print bureau" which the
legislature would have established had
not Governor Blaine exercised his veto
power today. He refused his approval
of the proposal on the ground that it
would create an additional board with
in a separate department.
"Unless there is some pressing pub
lie necessity for the establishment of
bureaus within existing boards, I vigor-
ously protest against this method of in
creasing the expenses of state govern
ment," the governor said in his mes
sage accompanying the veto.
"There is no crying need for the leg
islation proposed, and there is sufic-
lent power in the board of control to
do all that this bill does, so far as
there is public necessity therefor
"By way of emphasis, I want %
state that l look with disfavor upon
the creation of additional tax consum-
ing agencies"

BrittOn's Request
Rejected by Board
Police and Fire Commission Refuses
to Divide Suspension Period
Into Two Parts.

The request of Patrolman Eddy Brit
ton that his sentence of thirty days
suspension be divided into two two
week periods, was denied by the police
and fire commission on Monday evening
after a thorough investigation of the
case: The board held that it would be
a dangerous precedent to allow a
period of suspension to be broken up
into two periods, one of which might
be termed a vacation. The request of
Patrolman Britton was made in order
that he might secure way by which
he could as a member Of the Kenosha
Cavalry troop attend the encampment
during part of his period of suspen-
sion. Under the ruling handed down
on Monday evening he will be required
to take all of the suspension time now.
No other phase of the incident, as q
result of which Britton was suspended,
was laid before the commission at ten
Monday meeting.

OBSCURED VIEW
ACCIDENT AID
Coroner's Jury Fails to
Place Blame for Deaths
at Truesdell.
SEE NEED OF CHANGE

crossing where the physical condi-
ton made it very hard for people to see
an oncoming train coupled with pos
sible slight lack of care on the part
Of the driver was the cause for the &C
cident at the Truesdell crossing of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road
on last Thursday night which resulted
in the instant death of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest G. Anderson, Mrs. Sarah Wyers,
sister of Mrs. Anderson and little
Viola Billy" Heating of Chicago, ac-
cording to the verdict returned by the
coroner's jury following the inquest,
completed late Monday afternoon.
Members of the jury felt that some
thing should be done to make it pos
sible for people on the Geneva road to
get better view of the road leading
north from the crossing and they ex-
pressed the belief that if such view
could have been secured the accident
which cost the lives of the four people
might have been averted.
No Witness of Tragedy.
Regardless of the fact that Coroner
Parker who conducted the inquest had
made a careful search no eye witness
of the tragedy was found. Harold AL
sted, seven years of age was probably
the most interesting witness. He had
been near the crossing at the time of
the accident but he told the jury that
he did not see the accident and that
his knowledge was limited to hearing
the crash and the breaking of glass as
the train struck the automobile. Sons
of Mr.. Anderson were on the stand and
testified that their father was care
full driver. They also testified in re-
gard to his leaving home for the drive.
Louis Schrayer was witness. He de-
clared that he had put his hand over
his eyes when he feared that the small
automobile would be struck by the
train and that he did not know just
what happened. The story that a
freight train had passed the crossing
just before the passenger train was
not borne out by any Of the witnesses.
Trainmen Never Saw Car.
Engineer Sweeney and Fireman
King who were the men in charge of
GuC Gil Inc IOlU IHC NOLOAiSA Jul SAoL
they never saw. the automobile until
they aided in removing the dead bodies
of the victims from it's wreckage. They
testified that the train was running at
a rate of from forty-fve to fifty miles
an hour and that the first they knew
of the accident was when they felt the
impact of the collision between the en-
CINE and the automobile. Both declar-
ed that they had not seen the automo-
bile and that the train was running
at a rate of, speed which made it i'm
possible for them to see it.
They declared that even if they had
seen the automobile approaching the
track it would have been impossible
for them to have stopped the train in
time to prevent the accident.

BOLT FROM SKY
At COUNTY FARM
Straw Stack is Burned and
Keeper Wendorf Has
Narrow Escape.
SOME FLOOD DAMAGE

Lightning struck on the Kerosha
county farm during the heavy storm
of Monday afternoon and left the smoll
of Monday afternoon and left the
smouldering ruins of the big straw
stack on the farm, causing loss in
the neighborhood of 5000. William
Wendorf who is in charge of the farm
narrowly escaped death. He was in
the pump house some thirty feet from
the Inflated straw stack when it was
struck by lightning and the pump
house appeared to be mass of fire.
Wendorf was knocked on the floor of
the building and suffered slightly from
the effects of the electric discharge
but he was able to come to Kenosha
this morning to make his report. The
straw stack made spectacular fire
but favorable winds made it possible
to save the other buildings on the
farm. Had the wind been from the
other direction" said Wendorf this
morning, "all of the buildings would
have been burned"
Small Damage from Floods
The heavy rains were general
throughout Kenosha county and many
of the lowlands of the county we're
declared to be under water this morn
ing while the O'Plane and the Fox
rivers were raging. 1t was said that
no very serious damage was expected
as a result of the floods and that the
benefit to the growing crops made it
possible for the farmers to accept the
suggestion Of flood damage with con-
siderable compensation along other
lines.
Few reports Of damage came in from
the city. Mayor Joachim and the
city engineer had two complaints this
morning of damage caused by the
backing up of the water and claims of
twenty-five dollars were made in each
case. 1t will be a matter for the coun-
ell to decide. In many parts of the
city water was running over the STREETS
for hours but the damage was small.

MAY LOCATE
FACTORY HERE
C. A. EnsIow in Kenosha to
Establish Silent Police
man Factory.
Is ACCIDENT PROOF"

A new industry was in the ofhng for
Kenosha today when G. A. Enslow of
the Utilities Manufacturing corpora
ton came here to demonstrate 'The
Iron Policeman" an accident-proof ST.
lent motor cop, which is now manufac-
tured in GAINESVILLE. The company is
not satisfied with conditions in James
vile and is admittedly seeking loca-
ton here in order that the plant may
be moved to this city.
Mr.. Enslow declared that if he met
with any response whatsoever from
Kenoshans, he believed that the com
pany would move their plant to this
city and that the product, guarded by
patent rights, would be manufactured
exclusively in this city.
Sets Up a Sample.
Mr.. Enslow brought a sample Of the
"iron policeman" to Kenosha and set
it up in the vacant space at the east
of the central fire station. The device
consists of large steel tubing with
keep to the Right" directions on
canvas flaps at the top, and the entire
apparatus is so mounted that it can be
run over by car and will flop back
into position Immediately. 1t was ex'
planned that this feature of the device
made it very practicable in time of
emergency and prevented many serious
accidents.
"No, the drivers won't continue to
drive over it and make it of no value, "
explained Mr.. Enslow, when it was
pointed out that this feature might
make it of little value. "You see, while
it avoids serious accident, it also will
probably leave good-sized dent in the
fender Of an automobile and this will
teach drivers to avoid striking the Pc
liceman"
Many Are Interested.
Many Kenoshans watched the dem
onstrations of the device and showed
a real interest in the proposal to bring
the factory of the company to this
city. The device appears to be very
serviceable and it is possible that they
NAV be installed at crossings in Ke-
nosha in the near future. They have
been used successfully in Sparta, Wis,
Cedar Rapids, Ia, and in several other
cities and the demand for them is be-
coming greater every day.
