ACCIDENT FATAL
TO +. DRIFTING
Man Killed in Milwaukee
Depot Carried Kenosha
Bank Book.
HAS RELATIVES HERE?

Frank Drifting, aged 60, formerly of
6O6 Park street, Kenosha, was instantly
killed in passenger station at Mil
waukee Friday afternoon about 1880
o'clock, when his shotgun accidentally
discharged, sending its shot into his
head. The only clue to Britting's iden-
tlty was found in bank book of the
Kenosha Merchants and Savings Bank
and papers found on his person. The
bank book was found to be issued to
Frank Drifting, 606 Park street." The
Kenosha police and coroner were noti-
fed at, once in an endeavor to get in
touch with Britting's family or rela-
tives, if there are any living here. so
far the inquiry has been fruitless.
Stumbled and Gun Went OF.
Drifting had apparently been out
hunting and entered the Northwestern
passenger station at 1880 p. m, posi-
bly, to bound train for Kenosha. He
was descending a stairway when the
tragedy occurred which. was witnessed
by about hundred other persons In
the station. AS he started down the
stairs, Drifting stumbled. at the same
moment discharging his gun as it
bumped against the stair round. The
shot discharged into him, blowing off
the top of his head and killing him
instantly. When the physicians ar
rived, the head was found to be nearly
severed from the body. The body was
taken to the morgue, where it was
searched and the papers found led the
Milwaukee authorities to believe that
the man came from Kenosha.
Not Known at 606 Park Street.
The police made inquiries at the
Merchants and Savings Bank and found
that Drifting had had money en- deposit
there for some time, but the only ad-
dress known was the one on the bank
book. Inquiries at SOC Park street
elected the information that he was
not known there. The people living at
that address said that he might have
stopped at that place before they rent
ed the house.
From letters on Britting's person, it
was shown that he received mail from
Oshkosh and Fond du Lac and that he
had sister living in Nebraska.

Kenoshan's Kin
in Auto Crash

Ellis Travers, advertising manager
of the Nash Motors company, was call
ed to Chicago this morning by the au-
thorities Of the Columbus Memorial
hospital where his brother lies at the
point Of death following an automo-
bile crash on the Chicago boulevards.
The advices over the telephone wire
were scanty and all the information
obtainable up to the time of publica-
tion was that Richard Travers was
near death and that another Individual
whose name was not disclosed was
killed outright. This, however, could
not be verified up to one o'clock this
afternoon.
It is thought that Richard Travers,
who is agent for the Rolls-Royce car,
had been to a theatre with a party and
that he was returning to his apart
ments with friend The slippery
boulevards early in the morning caused
the car to crash into the curb, making
the car turn complete over. Nothing
has been heard from Ellis Travers in
Chicago.

TWO DETECTIVES
SHOOT EACH OTHER
Railway Detectives Open Fire ON Each
Other and Both are Severely
Wounded.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Milwaukee, each other for
thieves, two railroad detectives shot
each other on a Milwaukee road train
six miles from Brookfeld Junction last
night. AS result, John Bresnahan of
Fond du Lac is in critical condition
from bullet wound in his abdomen
and he is not expected to live. Elmer
Kleck of Milwaukee is suffering from
severe bullet wound in his arm and
he will probably recover.
Bresnahan and Kleck were stationed
on a merchandise train bound for Wau-
kesha, as the result of a number of
train robberies in the vicinity of
Brookfeld. AS the train passed Brook
field Junction, the detectives began
stealthily creeping toward each other.
At Brookfeld they caught sight of each
other, simultaneously. Then followed a
strange battle.
Another Version of Shooting.
With the train rushing through the
night at about 80 miles an hour, the
detectives opened fire. Both shots
found their mark at the, same moment
and both men pitched forward and were
jolted from the train. They were
picked up by a passing motorist half
an hour later and hurried to the Wau-
kesha municipal hospital, the version
OF the shooting given by J. E. Nolan,
district especial agent for the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad, was
that Kleck and Bresnahan had discov-
cred three men on boxcar and were
closing up on them, after the train had
come to a stop near Brookfeld. Just
as they were about to capture them,
two confederate in ambush in the I'M
derbrush along the right-of way opened
fire, Mr.. Nolan said.
Members of the crew ran back, found
the wounded detectives, carried them
into the engine cab and took them to
Waukesha, Nolan reported.
Goth Kleck and Bresnahan are well
known to Kenosha officials and they
have worked in Kenosha county On
number of big cses where troubles
arose near the villages of Truesdell
and Somers. Local officials expressed
surprise that two such excellent officers
should have made such a mistake.)

NEEDY FAMILIES
WILL GET HELP
KenOsha Advancement AS
ISOLATION to Assist Peo-
pie of City.
MAY GIVE BASKETS

The Kenosha Advancement associa-
tion will do its bit towards assisting
the needy of the city if the plans
formulated at g meeting of the associa-
ton on Friday night are carried out.
With a great number Of Kenosha fami-
lies utterly dependent upon the city
for support, the suggestion and plan
of the Advancement association is
both timely and humane.
President William Threinen stated
this morning that with the city having
a large percentage of it's men out of
work that the Advancement association
deemed it better plan to take the
money usually spent in decorating and
give it where it would help relieve the
plight of families who had felt the
pinch of hunger. The original plan of
the Advancement, association was to
hang streamers from all the newly
erected light posts and literally line
Milwaukee avenue with decorations.
Possibly the only decoration to Mil
waukee avenue WILDE the hanging of
wreaths on each lamp post.
While the Advancement association
made no figures public it is hgsly that
the relief fund will total more than
three hundred dollars. With a real
CHEEKY Christmas basket available with
all the seasons goodies for not more
than eight dollars including a goose,
duck or chicken, it will be readily seen
that the Advancement association could
bring the Christmas spirit into a great
number of Kenosha homes at the Yule-
tide season. The Advancement asso-
citation has left the matter open and
will appoint committee to take
charge of the affair.

Washington, D. C. = Railroad wage
figures supplied by railroad executives
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the Railroad Labor Board
were branded as Statistical fallacies"
by Frank ]. Warne, economist for the
railroad brotherhoods, in further dis
cussion today of railroad questions be-
fore the Senate interstate commerce
committee. He charged the railroad
data was untrue, misleading and in
tended to show higher average wage
than any employee received
The railroad heads, he asserted,
made the higher wage showing by in
Guiding in the wage figures the sal
aries of highly paid executives and
general officers. He cited as one in
stance the grouping of an official with
a salary of 100000 a year with sixty
seven employees whose annual pay av-
eraged about $1,000. The witness add
ed the ability of the executive to "get
away" with the arrangement had re-
suited in tremendous increases in the
pay rolls Of corporations, and higher
general average.
Mr.. Warne stated as proof of his as
sertions there had been an increase of
$39, 100000 in the annual pay of gen
eral and division officers in the last
five years while the number of these
officers increased only from 1900 to
$4,000. The effect of this, he added
was to show an increase in annual
wages paid to the extent of $39,000,-
600 more than had actually been dis
bursed to the employees.
MIR. Warne said these salaries are
not properly part of the railway, prob
lem and demanded that they be elm
mated from wage statistics.
