MOTOR COLLISIONS

Doctor Shimek says he would have
gotten up on the sidewalk to get out
of the fellows way if he had known in
time what he was going to do. The
doctor was driving a Ford coupe west
on Chicago street nearing Tenth. Ew-
aid Ranthum came north on Tenth in
Chevrolet and made a big swing to
the left into Chicago street, meeting
the Ford head on The Ford came out
of the ioust decidedly second best.
Ranthum was arrested after the acci-
dent charged with reckless driving.
This trick of swinging way over to the
left side after making a turn to the
right is altogether too common. The
law is plain
Two motorcycles had a tussle at
TeHth and Quay streets, bad corner,
Monday. A motorcycle carrying Mr.
and Mrs. Ed Birringer collded with a
motorcycle driven by Raymond Staudt
The Staudt machine was mussed up so
it was hardly recognizable. Mrs. Bir-
ringer was severly bruised and Staudt
suffered broken finger.
Anton Pech of Kossuth was coming
20 town last Friday afternoon, accom-
panied by Mrs. Pech. He turned from
the Green Bay road to the Plank road
at -Four Corners and ran into big
truck of the Wisconsin Public Service
company on which four linemen were
going out to work. Spectators said
that PeCh cut the corner short and
apparently becoming confused turned
further to the left just before striking.
Mrs. Pech suffered a fractured knee
cap and bad bruises while Mr.. Pech
received severe cuts from broken glass.
Immediately following the collision
the Pech touring car burst into flames
and was reduced to junk. The big
truck received only minor injuries and
the young men on it were not hurt

THIEF AND FORGER CAUGHT

In September a suit case belonging
to p. w. Moore, cashier of the state
bank here, was stolen at the Chicago
and Northwestern depot at Milwaukee.
The thief obtained a book of blank
checks and papers bearing genuine sig
natures of Mr.. Moore. Ever since
checks have been turning up at the
bank bearing forged signatures of Mr.,
Moore. The forger, John Woelfng,
was arrested at Greenwich, Conn, last
Saturday and sentenced to thirty days
ON a avagrancy charge. This was done,
evidently, to hold him for more def
mite advices from here. When dis
charged there he will be brought to
Wisconsin to face charges of stealing
the suit case and probably also forg-
cry.
Woelfng's scheme was to get the
American Legion in each town to den-
tify him to aid in passing the spurious
paper. This was his undoing. The
national headquarters of the Legion
sent out word to look out for him and
when he tried it on the local post in
Connecticut he was taken in. The
checks cashed were all in small
amounts.

DISAGREE ON INSANITY

A rather unusual situation was pre-
sented this week when a Jury in
county court was unable to agree in
an insanity case. The law provides
that any person whose sanity is ques-
toned in county court is not at the
mercy of the physicians, but may de-
mand that a jury pass on the question
Mrs. Ida Newton, North Side resi-
dent, was before the court on petition
of some neighbors who alleged her to
be insane. They said out of court that
she appeared to be suffering from hal
lucnations and accused the neighbors
of prosecuting her. The examining
physicians reported that she should be
committed as insane. Mrs. Newton Sc
cured an attorney and demanded a
jury trial. A jury of six was selected.
The jury after hearing the testimony,
deliberated on Tuesday from 10 a. m.
until s p. m, and then came into court
and told the court that there was no
possibility of their agreeing. They were
then discharged and a new commission
OF three doctors was appointed to make
a re-examination and report. In case
of another decision of insanity by them
there will probably be another Jury
trial. Mrs. Newton is the mother of
two children and is separated from her
husband whom she some time ago sued
for divorce. He answered that her de-
msionS made it so miserable for him
that he could not live with her

SUCCESSFUL AMATEUR SHOW

The local lodge of the Knights of
Pythias put on an amateur minstrel
performance at the new Capital the
alter last Thursday evening. The show
went over big and received the unani-
nous approval of the audience that
filed the big auditorium.
The members of the cast had drilled
faithfully and deserve more than the
usual cut and dried press approval
which accompanies every amateur
stage effort There were several sur
prising evidences of undeveloped talent
in unexpected places.
1t would be unfair to attempt men
tioning names without giving list of
the entire cast. 1t is gratifying TO
learn that after all this tremendous
effort the show was not only success
full from an artistic viewpoint but that
the lodge found it really worth while,
financially.

JlTNEY TO TWO RIVERS

Ernst Jirs who for time last spring
conducted a jitney line between Mani
towoc and Two Rivers is to reestablish
the service. Mr., Jirs viii operate as a
licensed bonded carrier He has filed a
bond in the sum of $4,000 as required
by law and has been awaiting its ap-
proval. The opening yesterday of the
all concrete route to Two Rivers has
made the running motor buses between
the two cities much better PROPOSE
tion than heretofore. The motor trip
will cost the same as the trolley ride,
twenty-five cents. Stating this price
makes one smile to recall that the
Traction company which started just
twenty years ago contracted to
carry passengers for twenty-five years
for ten cents.

ALLEGED KlDRAPPERS CAUGHT

The sensational kidnapping of Stella,
3-year-old daughter of Captain and
Mrs. Frederickson, at Sturgeon Bay
this week was given a local color when
the three alleged kidnappers gave their
residences as Manitowoc.
1t seems that Mrs. Fredrickson was
given a decree of divorce three weeks
ago at Sturgeon Bay. Her husband is
master of the Ann Arbor ferry No. 4,
plying between Manitowoc and Ann
Arbor. The courts giving the custody
of the little girl to the mother evil
IDENTIFY displeased some one and a
woman and two men, who probably
went to Sturgeon Bay from here by
motor took the child from the mother
by a strategem and made away with
her They were oyertaken at Kewau-
nee and arrested, and the child re-
turned. One of the men, Arthur Fred
rickson, is probably a grown up son of
the husband who has been on the car
ferry with him and with whom Capt.
Fredrickson lives at Ann Arbor. The
other two gave their names as Celia
Wetmeyer, probably a stewardess on
the boat, and Leslie Woods They were
held in $1,000 bonds for preliminary
hearing at Sturgeon Bay on Nov. 8.
The trio probably did not realize what
serious offense they were committing
and thought it was merely a case of
the oft-quoted nonsense about posses
sion being mine points in the law"

PISTOL SGAkES NEIGHBORS

People residing on North Fourteenth
street heard two pistol shots in rapid
succession Monday evening about 9
O'Clock. An excited citizen phoned the
police that he had heard neighbors in
an angry dispute and that upon the fir
ing Of two shots the argument sudden
ly ceased. The motor patrol took two
intrepid cops to the scene of the near
murder in a hurry. All was quiet and
serene and a criminal mystery of cx-
citing potentialities seemed TO be in the
air. It developed later that two men
had come to the Frank Durham home
and pounding loudly on the door had
demanded some substantial aid. Re
fusing to go away Durham had fred
into the night to scare them off and
had evidently succeeded The only in
jury was two perforations in the screen
door.

The 2Sth Jubilee convention of the
Wisconsin Federation of Women's
Clubs, held in Appleton, October
l2-llth, went into history marking
an epoch in the Federation's policy on
education. The convention devoted a
half day to an educational program
raising $1,000 in a few moments to
add to the scholarship fund for young
women which the Federation sustains
and adopted the most comprehensive
program for educational work in the
state ever passed by body of women's
clubs
This program was presented to the
Federation by the committee of ap-
piled education of which Miss Rose
SwarL well-known Wisconsin educator,
is chairman. The resolutions we're
adopted as follows;
believing that only Democracy
dare educate and that only education
will save democracy, the Wisconsin
Federation of Women's clubs assem-
bIed for their 25th convention, take
this opportunity to mark their silver
jubilee with an expression Of their
hopes for Wisconsin schools The Fed
Grafton has from its first year es-
poused the cause of education. Many
Of its dreams have been realized in the
schools, but as we enter into new
duties of citizenship and into a world
torn with war and economic upheavel,
new demands must be made upon the
schools in order that our children may
be prepared for their grave response
bilties. We Therefore resolve that as
opportunity offers, we will work for
the following obiectiycsi
"The adequate financing Of our pub
lie schools to keep pace with the new
and growing demands
At least one woman on every school
board.
A Parent-Teachcrs association in
every school district.
A competent, professionally trained
teacher of character and ideals in
every school room, with a salary in
proportion to her efficiency and cali
ber.
The increased support Of our teacher
training schools and courses, that they
may be developed to their highest ca
paeity and efficiency
The general enlightenment of the
Wisconsin public as to the merits and
shortcomings of our school systems. in
order that the foregoing ohjectives
may be accomplished"

COUNTY TAXES

Last year the assessment of Manito
woe county as fixed for county anc
state tax purposes was Ss5,259,163.
This year the assessment is real es.
tate S72,26s,l1O, personal property
Sl6,996,252; total %S9,264,362.
The county shows heavy decrease
in personal property value, due to de
creased valuations of farm personally
namely live stock and crops. This loss
is more than offset by an increase in
the total value of real estate in the
county resulting a total increase OF
about Sl,0O0,0O0. The farm lands have
not increased but the city totals have
increased due probably to large build
ing operations.
The city has more than one-fourth
of the tota' personal property value
and 22,7 per cent of the real estate
value. The city of Manitowoc is re-
ported as being assessed 1878 of true
value on personal property and lll.25
per cent of true value on real estate.
The figure for the county is 94.39
per cent of true value
The taxes which the county must
pay this year as its share to the state
have been received by the county
clerk. The figures are as follows:
