ASSAILS VIEW ROCHOALE PLAN

The American ROchdale plan has
been putting on campaign in this
city to secure 800 subscribers or con-
tributors before opening up here. The
scheme is a chain of cooperative
grocery stores. They are operating
in many other places in the state.
Last week Attorney General Morgan
started suit to enjoin them from
selling any of their "debentures" in
Wisconsin. Mr.. Morgan said that be-
tween February and July first, when
a new law went into effect, they had
organized SO Wisconsin Rochdale
companies but that the new amend
ment to the Wisconsin Blue Sky law
put an end to any more under the old
plan. They have now organized un-
der the Wisconsin Cooperative Law
with $4,000 capital. This $4,000
corporation now plans to issue de
bentures" in the form of promissory
notes payable in 20 years to the
amount of $3,OOO,OOO. These draw
no interest but dividends, if there
are any. A store is opened as soon
as $22,500 worth of these notes are
sold. The Attorney General says that
a store can be stocked and equipped
for $4,000, leaving $18,500. Of this
the promoters get $4,000 and they
are not decided what to do with the
balance of $4,000. He says that
they will not sell $3,000,O0O worth of
these "debentures," nor a nickel's
worth, in Wisconsin, if he can help
it and he thinks he can.

MEETING AT MAPLE CREST

There was a meeting at Maple
Crest Sanitarium near Whitelaw
Monday attended by the physicians
and nurses of the county, members
of both professions from Calumet
and Brown counties, county board
members and sanitorium trustees.
DR.. Currens of Two Rivers presid-
ed at the meeting.
DR.. A. A. Pleyte of the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis association gave
an address the main theme of which
was the idea Of making the Manito-
woe county sanitarium tri-county
institution by taking in Calumet and
Sheboygan counties. He said that
there are 460 cases of tuberculosis
in Manitowoc county and 410 in She
boygan. In 5000 cases examined at
public clinics in the state 1866 cases
of tuberculosis were found. The cost
of Sid per week at Maple Crest is
the lowest rate in the state.
DR.. Boyd Of the Outagamie Coun-
ty sanitorium gave a talk and ap-
proved the tri-county plan.
The gathering had dinner at the
sanitorium and social hour.

YOUNG WOMAN ENDS LIFE

A young woman visitor in the city
committed suicide Sunday evening
by leaping into Lake Michigan from
near the end of the north govern
ment pier. Alma Jehn of Wausau,
an expert stenographer, came to WIS.,
it her sister, Mrs. Robt Leuth, North
Sixth street, last April. She was suf-
fering from a nervous breakdown.
She remained all summer. When the
Leuth's returned from chuch Sun
day evening they found note left
by Miss Jehn, declaring her intention
of ending her life and making touch
ing references to her mother. They
thought of the lake and hurried to
the pier after notifying the police.
Miss Jehn was found afloat in the
water.
The light keepers in a boat, and
the police got her to shore. The po-
lice pulmotor performed in its usual
manner, and refused to break its rec
ord by resuscitating anyone. Those
who heard and saw the girl first in
sist that she was alive when taken
from the water, but others seem to
doubt it. In any event she was not
alive shortly after.
She is survived by her mother at
Wausau and by four brothers and
five sisters. The remains were TAX
en- to the home at Wausau Tuesday.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Bruno Donowsky and Albert Gau-
thier, two Two Rivers saloon keepers,
and the bartender of Donowsky, VIII
liam Peronto, were up in Municipal
court last week on the usual charge
Of selling whiskey. There was no
doubt about it and District Attorney
Brady asked that maximum fine Of
$1,000 and six months in Jail be given
to each o f the saloon keepers. The
court asked Donowsky to contribute
$500 and Gauthier $3.50. The bar
tender got off with $3.50.
The Donowsky arrest came about
through the police Of Two Rivers find
ing Melvin Peronto, a cousin of the
bartender, drunk on the street. The
source of his supply was sweated out
of him.

saw man go into wood yard near
the o. Torrison store and had regu-
lar Sherlock Holmes inspiration. He
watched him and later went to the
place and found bottle nearly full
Of moon. Going to a dance at the
Opera House he was nearly over
whelmed with purchasers at rs cents

NUMBER "a
OLD STEAMER 10 BONE YARD

The hull Of the old Goodrich steam
er Chicago was towed down river out
into the lake and beached near the
mouth Of the Little Manitowoc Tues
day 1t seems but a short time since
the folders bore the words: Large
and elegant, staunch and speedy side
wheel, passenger steamer Chicago"
This was nearly all true once. The
boat was built in 1874 where the
present 500 Line flour shed, or long
dock warehouse, is located, and was
the pride of the Goodrich fleet
and its flagship. Capt. Barney
Sweeney, the senior master, com
manded the ship for years. During
the war time ship building rush the
old ship served for a time at the
shipyards as a dining hall and room
ing place for shipyard workers.
Thereafter the cabins were stripped
off, Now she has gone to join her
old sister ship Sheboygan whose ribs
still show above the sand short
distance away. The present genera
ton would not appreciate how the old
timer feels at such an event. No
use sentimcntaliZiug.

LONG SIEGE UNDER CAR

Fred Grams of Francis Creek had
an experience Saturday night that he
would not care to repeat. He lay in
a rayine below a bridge in a small
creek under his automobile from 6
o'clock Saturday night until 8 O'Clock
Sunday morning.
He was coming home from near
Denmark Saturday evening and when
he got to the bottom of the big hill
this side Of the caves hotel a big car
coming rapidly form the south bump
ed him through the bridge railing and
down into the creek. The ear fell
on him and pinioned him down help
less. The other car never paused
Many cars passed but an embank-
ment hid the prisoner and his car
from view. At eight o'clock Sun
day, Mr.. Skvor, living near by heard
a groan as he passed over the little
bridge and found Grams. He re-
members almost nothing after fall
ing but it appeared that he had dug
himself out from under the car. He
was clear when found but unable to
help himself. He is at the hospital
here and latest reports were that he
will recover.
If the driver Of the other car knew
what he had done he is too big a
scoundrel to be at large.

PRIEST RETURNS FROM OVERSEAS

Rev. S. j. Kubiszewski, pastor of
the St. Nary's Polish church of this
city returned last week from a trip
to Europe. He visited relatives in
Poland and also inspected a part of
the battle area of France. A four
days motor trip out of Paris he says
takes one to many of the main points
of interest. 1t is still a scene of ut
ter desolation. He also visited many
places in Germany including Berlin.
He makes some striking comments on
the purchasing power of the Ameri-
can dollar due to exchange rate, He
was a keen observer of conditions in
every part of Europe he visited, one
of his striking comments being that
in Central Europe he saw no signs
of the terrible destitution and star
vation that are reported to exist
there. He says the people seemed
to have enough to eat and that they
are apparently getting along and rap
idly recovering from the effects of
the war.

DISCUSS SCHOOL BONDS

There was a joint meeting of the
city council with the Board of Edu-
cation Monday evening and the pro-
posed bond issue for a new high
school building was discussed, Chair
man Vogel of the councils finance
committee presided He said he
would entertain no motions. 1t was
purely a round table affair. Chair
man Vogel was clearly opposed to
the bond issue and began talking of
$1,50O,O0O and $2,O00,O00 evidently
taking no stock in the school body's
new estimate of 100000. School
President John Kelly defended the
estimate.
Then the old fight over the site
was interjected. Aldermen Drumm
and Vogel argued for referendum
on the Roeff's Hill site but Mr.. Kel-
ley took the stand the site question
was not in issue.
Alderman Wergin' thought his
ward (the 7th) would return a big
majority against bonds because we
are with our present facilities getting
a better education than our grand
parents got.
1t was generally understood that
the finance committee will recon-
mend the adoption of the pending
resolution calling for the drafting of
a proper bond ordinance.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By LILLIAN L. CHLoUPEKJ

One of the reasons why Wisconsin
ranks low in the report compiled by
Dr. Ayres for the Russell Sage founda-
ton, is because of irregular atten-
dance.
Wisconsin has compulsory attend
dance law but is has several startling
weaknesses 1t makes the compul-
sorry age Z to IA years, it should be
from 6 years to whatever age is neces-
sary to complete the eighth grade. 1t
states that pupils must be enrolled by
the end of the first month of school
it should state that pupils must enroll
the first day of school.
1t should save a compulsory trans
portation clause for pupils living more
than two miles from school 1t is next
to impossible to get transportation
from a majority of electors when that
majority lives within two miles of the
school
No matter how well the law covers
the needs, it is worthless without pro-
visions for its enforcement. The pres
ent law makes the sheriff the attend
ance officer for the county, and does
not compel action. If the sheriff is
interested in education and the fearless
of the "bg stick" or the "machine,"
he is ready to enforce the law; if not
he sidesteps.
Besides to be attendance officer for
a county is a full-sized job for one
man, and will keep him busy every
day in the school year.
l have in mind a typical county
where 3t' men are paid on the average
$50 per month to patrol roads, and
"a road superintendent in every town
deyOtes his entire time to the roads.
In that same county, 5,O32 pupils were
enrolled in the public schools last year,
and the average daily attendance was
3,6l0, or less than 75 per cent. Can we
expect good results when we have less
than three-fourths of the pupils present
each day? Are roads more important
than children? Can a county that
supports road commissioner, and
office force, 30 or more palrolmen, and
20 town road superintendent, also
support one compulsory attendance
officer
Improve the compulsory attendance
laws for Wisconsin, provide for their
move up in the ranks of her northern

WAYFARER KILLED BY TRAIN

A man, aged somewhere in the six
ties apparently, was killed by c.
q N. w. railway passenger train COM
ing from Green Bay at the city limits
last Thursday. The engineer of the
train, John Watson, told the district
attorney that the man had turned,
looked at the train and continued
walking on the track as if courting
death.
Letters on his person indicated that
his name was Valca Cihak. One re-
cent letter was from a sister at West
minister, Maryland, urging him to
come and make his home with her.
His pack disclosed that he had been
tramping and it may be that he was
on his long journey to accept the in
vitation when suddenly sent on a
longer one.
The evidence seems to entirely ex-
onerate the train crew. A message
was sent to the sister in Maryland
who wired back that she has not
funds to pay for sending for the body
but may be able to do so later.
The body of the wanderer was laid
to rest in the public potters field
Monday in a contract casket and with
no accompanying mourners There
is but little prospect of his ever be-
ing disturbed for conveyance else
where.

PRESSED INFO GERMAN NAVY

Gustaf Helwich, a native of Ger
many, left Manitowoc in 1914 to Wis
it his parents in the old country. He
stuck around too long. He was in
vited to accept a post on one of the
kaiser's battleships, but he, assured
the authorities that he had but little
taste for life on the ocean wave. He
failed to impress them but they i'm
pressed him. They insisted that he
would surely enjoy the experience
and finally prevailed upon him, with
the aid Of bayonet, to get aboard.
As he was German subject this was
all according to Hoyle.
While enjoying his sojoun on a
battleship he was a participant in sew
eral little MISUNDERSTANDING with the
British navy in the North Sea, among
them the affair off Jutland, when
about 100 ships We're exchanging
greeting. This Has-hi5 earliest op-
portunity to get back to America and
he is going to re-enter the draying
business with his brother Oscar here.
He has had enough of the life of a
jolly tar on the bounding pillows to
last an ordinary life time.
He gives a good description of pres
ent conditions in Germany, his main
complaint being the continuance of
war time regulation of personal af-
fairs and conduct.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

The work goes bravely on! 1t is
with feelings of no ordinary graft
fication that we have to chronicle the
progress of our railroad operations
this week.
We have the pleasure of announc-
mig that the cars have reached Nettle
Hill, a distance Of twelve miles from
Manitowoc.
On Tuesday the track was laid as
far as Harris mills, and the boys of
the construction train, who had
worked with will for the last two
days to reach Nettle Hill by Tuesday
evening, were heartily welcomed by
the good people of the place, and on
being invited to partake of something
to refresh the inner man, all took a
"smile" and several more, and they
returned feeling well pleased with
the reception accorded them.
We understand that the tracklay-
ers will now spend a week in ballast
ing the road from the Branch to
Nettle Hill, when by that time the
grading will be completed as far as
Spring Greek, in Calumet county.
Two gangs of men are now at work
in Brillion pushing their way rapidly
through the town westward.
r. d. Smart has returned home the
East, and has gone into partnership
with Wyman Murphy, on Eighth
street.
We received from our friend H. X.
Sommers a bottle of his celebrated
worcestershire sauce, and find it the
best we ever tasted. While Mr.. Som
mers makes such provisions for his
table, it is no wonder that his hotel
is so justly popular with the people
of this county Mr.. Sommers keeps a
good house, and large roomy barns
for teams, is a good sound Democrat
and should be patronized.
