BIG CLAIM FOR COLLISION

a summons and complaint filed in
circuit court last week reveals that f.
Sixel of Sheboygan is suing Henry
Daeke of this city for $500 for in
iuries to plaintiffs car and person, al
legged to have been caused by an auto
mobile collision which occurred near
Branch in October. The plaintiff al
leges that he Signaled repeatedly for
room to pass the Daeke car which was
ahead, that finally it did move over but
that when Sixel was almost up along
side, Daeke pulled back into the road
and forced the plaintiff into the ditch,
damaging the car $500 and his person
$4,000. The matter will doubtless be
on the January calendar of the circuit
court

HEAVY PENALTY FOR HERzOG

Tuesday morning Bertram z. Her
zog of this city, recently convicted by a
jury in federal court at Milwaukee of
accepting bribes in connection with his
duties as prohibition enforcement off
Ger, was before Judge Geiger for SEN
tence. The court denied the motions
for a new trial made by Herzog's at
torneys and sentenced him to pay a
fine of $4,000 and serve seven years
at the federal prison at Leavenworth.
The $4,000 is almost the exact sum
which Custer, the governments princi-
pal witness, testified he gave to Her
zog. An appeal was taken at once
from the courts decision in denying
new trial for alleged errors of the
court and Herzog's bond was fixed at
$4,000 pending decision of the u. S.
court of appeals.
The conviction was on all of eight
counts in an indictment charging vari-
Gus transactions in permitting the Ke-
nosha whiskey ring to operate through
the officers territory.
Herzog took his bitter dose Tuesday
like a Stole. He gave no evidence of
emotion.

INTER-CITY BUS IN DITCH

The big interurban motor bus run
ming between Mantowoc and Two Riv-
ers in competition with the trolley line
went into the ditch with a load of pas
sengers on board in a snow storm last
Saturday night. The accident occurred
near the Lindstedt farm where fortu-
nately the ditch was not very deep. The
car did not turn over but the passen-
gers were given a severe shaking up
and had momentary visions of some
thing serious. The driver said that the
snow in the ditch was level with the
roadway and the storm not only made
it hard to locate the road but hard to
keep it.
The storm was milder here Saturday
than generally throughout the north
west and the great lakes, although
there was quite a gale blowing on Lake
Michigan. The carferrys were all
weatherbound all day. Rail traffic was
all behind time, more from icy rails
than snow.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By LILLIAN L, CHLoUPEKJ,

Speaking to recent conference of
school people held in Minneapolis, Mimi
esota, c. G. Schultz, secretary of the
Minnesota Educational Association, re-
| ferred with admiration to Wisconsin S
rural supervising teachers. In only
twelve states are there such supervis-
ors or helping teachers to assist and de-
velop the work of the inexperienced
rural school teacher and to support and
stimulate the stronger one.
The Wisconsin Supervising Teachers
Association has started Supervising
Teachers Exchange this fall "It is
the purpose, says A. l.. Wishlinski,
President of the Association and super
vising teacher of Green Lake County
ito collect the best plans, ideas and
suggestions on educational activities
each county has, as well as the best
aids in solving the problems of super
vision, and then distribute them far and
wide over the state, thereby making
the best in one county contagious to
ALL "
There are many discouraging things
about the rural school situation but the
work of the supervising teachers is
already doing much to develop better
standards of teaching in our rural
schools.
"The sooner the conference on the
limitation of armaments is followed bv
a national conference on education, the
better it will be for the peace of the
world" declares the Journal of the
National Educational Association. H.
G. Wells is not the only modern prophet
who sees that peace can only be finally
made secure by common ideals and
common body of knowledge throughout
the world. Mutual understanding will
be greatly promoted by an interchange
of educational ideals.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Walter Zelowski's wife is suing him
for divorce and the customary order
was served on him requiring him to
make certain payments for her sup
port pending the action. He was up
in court Monday morning charged
with creating a disturbance at the
wife's abode Sunday afternoon and al
legged that he had called merely to
make the required payment. He plead
ed guilty to being drunk and disorder
ly, however, and paid So and costs.
A West side resident was in court
Monday, charged with the theft of coal
from the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway companyS, He had extended
the practice omf picking up coal along
the track to visiting the shed and
loading up bags. He and two son were
hauling away five bags OF coal when
detected 1t was pitiable tale of un-
employment and want. The railroad
sleuth wanted an example made and
the court made the fine as small as he
could, 81 and costs, coupled with a
warning.
Elmer Butterfeld, who last SIN .I,er
wos county sF,cd cop, and OF late a
tax driver, got drunk at Two Rivers
last week. He made the mistake of
talking back smart to Officer Roeque
who searched his car and dug up three
pint bottles of moonshine. His story
involved Elder Goodies" Wettenkamp
and both pleaded guilty to possession
and sale. Butterfeld was fined $3.50
and the other case was held open to
await some more expected develop
ments. Two young women who were
on the jaunt to Two Rivers were ques-
toned but not held

THOUGHT THEY SAW FUGITIVE

Not to be behind other towns Mani
towoc saw Tommy O'Connor, notori-
GUS "two-gun man." for whom an
empty moose has been awaiting at Chi
cago for two weeks, in several places
in the city last Monday. A travelling
man had dinner with him at a res
taurant and a citizen was certain of
the identification. Assistant Chief
Ladwig "ordcred the city to be
searched" but with no faith apparent
ly in the discoveries. The wide spread
respect for the ubiquitous Tommy's
nervous trigger finger is probably what
prevents these people who see the des-
perado from capturing him themselves
The more certain the identification is
the less desire there probably is to in
trude in Mr.. O'Connor's private affairs

CLAIM THEY ARE SANE

Manitowoc is entitled to seventeen
delegates to the convention of "sane
progressives" of the Republican party
which is to meet this spring, probably
in April, to line up a ticket to defeat
the La Follette-Blaine slate in the Sep
tember primary. Calling themselves
"sane" is pretty direct imputation as
to the mental condition of the forces
they oppose.
There seems to be plenty of ambi-
tious aspirants willing to lock horns
with Gov. Blaine for the governorship,
but we haven't heard of anyone ex-
pressing willingness to wrestle the
big chief for his seat in the senate.
This is an evidence of sanity.

FLEISRER'S DESTROYED

Interurban hall, more generally
known as "Fleisher's," a road house,
saloon and dance hall on the Lake
Shore road between Manitowoc and
Two Rivers adjacent to the Lakeside
Country club grounds, burned to the
ground last Friday morning. The fire
had considerable headway when dis
covered about 3 a. m. and, although
the Manitowoc north side motor pump
er was soon on the scene, there was
not enough water available for it to
aid. The people asleep on the second
floor were glad to get out with their
lives and left even their clothes in the
flames. Some Of the furniture from the
bar room, which was last to go, was
gotten out.
Mrs. Margaret Watruba owns the
place, having purchased it in Septem-
her, 1920, and the fire is a serious
blow 70 her The loss was estimated at
$4,000, partly coyerel by insurance.
The place viii probably not be re-
built as first, prohibition, and then, the
diversion of vehicle traffic from that
part of the lake shore road to the new
Route II have lcsscned It's yliuc as
site for a public house.

IN EhIGRANT GARB

,1iss Kat erirl Baka arrived in
Manitowoc last week direct from Aus
tria, to make her home with her uncle,
Michael Budner, 1913 South Eigh-
teenth street, who had forwarded her
passage money. She left home Nov.
IA and sailed from Hamburg Thanks
giving day. She had made no change
of garb since leaving her native vii
lage and arrived in her old world cos
tune, including wooden shoes. She
couldn't understand a word of the
comment that her appearance must
have evoked in this country. The girl
was earning the equivalent of SLIGO
American money per month at home.

STILL OPPOSE ROEFF'S HILL

That the movement to force an aban-
donment of the Roef's hill site for the
new high school evidenced by the re-
fusal of the city council last Monday
tc authorize immediate work there and
remarks in debate in the council has
some force to it is evident from other
developments.
individuals were busy yesterday get
ting prices on the real estate embraced
ir the two blocks on the north side of
Clark street between Thirteenth and
Fifteenth streets, part Of which will be
more quickly recognized under the
name of "Truman'S hill"
Reports were that the total price for
the two blocks comes to about SlOO,-
00O
The votes on the bond issue On Dec.
l3 were cast with the statement, many
times reiterated, that the site question
had been definitely settled and the big
vote in favor of the bond issue was
assumed by many to mean an accept
ance of the Roeif's hill site, even if
given under protest by some electors.
However, many do not view it that
way and assert that there is no man
date from the people as to the site but
merely on the need of a school build
ing.
As there is but 100000 available
for school building purposes the ex-
penditure of 100000 for a new site
and the expense for architectural fees
and other preliminary work, which
would be necessitatcd, would put the
actual erection work off into the dim
future again.
The present movement will probably
not get anywhere, but it evidences the
deep and bitter resentment that un-
doubtedly exists against the locating
of the new school in the southeast cor
ner of the city without giving the peo-
pie any choice in the matter.

The Stangel Hardwares have been
re-christened and are now the Kraemer
Specials, playing under their new name
they defeated the fast Whtelaw five
at Whtelaw last Thursday evening, "a
to 10. The first half was fairly even
ending to in favor of the Kraemers.
Stangel was reported as being the star
individual performer Of the evening.
The big game scheduled between the
kraemer Specials and the u. S. Trac-
tors for Saturday evening at the Or
phcum did not come off, due to the non
arrival of the visitors who were stalled
on the road at Grimms. Instead the
kcllnersyilIe Flayos played and the
Kraemer Specials won, 32 to %. At
the half time the Flavos led Is to II,
but they stepped on the gas in the
second half and romped away with the
game.
The two teams played a return
match the next night at Kelnersville
and the tables were turned, the Flayos
winning, % to 10. Kellner made five
field baskets and two free throws for
his team.

is composed of Welch, O'Connell, f..
Fritsch, NJ. Fritsch, and Kirby

school lost to Two Rivers High, 2l to
10. Early in the game Schroeder of
Two Rivers and Schuettc of the locals
got into Gsticulfs which sent both out
.of the game. The loss of Schuette was
La big handicap, Later Gauthier was
put out for alleged roughness. Tie was
easily the star of the game and the re-
tircment Of these two players cost
Manitowoc the game.

SMALL HARBOR ALLOTMENT

Manitowoc is allotted only $4,000 for
the year for harbor work in the recon-
mendations of the government engi-
neers, although all other west shore
ports get considerably more, some of
them as follows: Two Rivers, $1,000;
Sheboygan, $4,000; Port Washington,
$4,000; Milwaukee, $4,000; Kewau-
nee, $4,000; Algoma, $4,000; Stur-
geon Bay canal, $4,000; Green Bay,
$4,000.
The comparatively small amount
given for work here is because there
is no new construction in contempla-
ton for this port and the sum set is
merely for probable maintenance
operations.

FOXES IN THE COUNTY

That the foxes are not all in the
Riddles Christmas books is evident
from the fact OF several residents of
the county bringing in pelts of sly rey-
nard the past week Emil Rehrauer
of Mishicot shot two fine specimens of
red fox on his farm. The bounty for
the two Is SIS and the skins are worth
about $40. Charles Pashek Jr. of the
town of Two Rivers, also bagged fox
after four hour chase. Two foxes
were started but the trail of one was
lost !.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

We are sorry to learn that Mr.. Sam
uel Sands, who is visiting his son-in-
law in this city, Mr.. George Cooper,
had stroke of paralysis short time
since, from which, however, we are
happy to announce he is slowly recov-
ering.
The Appleton and New London rail
road progresses westward. The deep
cutting in the town of Brillion is fin
ished and the grade nearly completed
to the slime of Woodville in Calumet
county.
The sleighing is very good, owing to
the recent light fall of snow on Mon
day night.
Died at Manitowoc, Dec lS, 1871,
Thomas A. Edwards, aged "a years.
The deceased was very suddenly cut
off in the early dawn of his manhood;
leaving a young wife to deplore her
loss, and a young child three weeks
never to realize, and yet always suffer
the loss of a father. The deceased was
the son of John w. Edwards of this
place, and had spent his life in Mani
towoc since he was six years old. Ger
tainly his many acquaintances will de-
plore his early death, and will extend
their heartfelt sympathy to that circle
SO painfully bereaved.
