AUTO THEFTS

Two automobile thefts in week
hardly makes an epidemic of crime
but it is enough to make the local mo-
torist take the trouble to lock the car
he parks.
A week ago Saturday a Buick road
ster belonging to Fred jacobson park
ed on Jay street disappeared and has
not been located.
Last Friday evening a Ford touring
car belonging to Clarence Marsh was
stolen from in front of the Carsten
store at Eleventh and Washington
streets The car was found Monday
by the side of the road unchanged two
miles north of Sheboygan and was re
stored to Mr.. Marsh.
There have been a large number of
cars taken this season by unauthorized
JOY riders who took the cars for spin
and abandoned them, but these two
have the appearance of the real thing.
The Buick loss is surely a piece of pro-
fessional work.

CAN'T CALL AT TWO RIVERS

The Eastern Wisconsin Transporta-
tion Company is making two round
trips day from Manitowoc to Stur-
geon Bay with large up-to-datc motor
bus It naturally would like to take in
Two Rivers on the way, but out of
Difference to the Manitowoc city coun-
ciPs agreement with the Traction com
pany not to permit competition with
the trolley line between Manitowoc and
Two Rivers the bus is routed via Shoto
to Mishicot and on up, giving Two Riv-
ers the go-by In consequence travel
ers desiring to go from Two Rivers to
Mishicot or Kewaunee, or any other
point north, are compelled to come
south to Manitowoc first by trolley and
take the bus here, and reverse the pro-
cess on returning. 1t is reported that
the new bus line offered the Traction
company if allowed to go by way of
Two Rivers, to refuse to take passeng-
erS at ManitowOc bound only to Two
Rivers or vice versa, or to make it un-
attractive for passengers to take the
bus for this trip. In view of this, and
the fact that one or two trips per day
would be hardly competition with the
car line, it looks as if travellers between
Two Rivers and points north are to be
required to travel a long distance out
of their way only TO have the street
car line carry them back at a quarter
per head.
Merely as a matter of common sense
we do not believe that there can be
any laws giving the Manitowoc city
council any such extra territorial au-
thority. Its police power of reasonable
regulation over its streets is surely not
a power to prohibit a carrier from call
ing at Two Rivers on its way north.
1t is too absurd for discussion. 1t is
an intolerable situation to which Two
Rivers is justified in obiecting.
The two local motor busses have
been taken over by the street railway
company and, beginning tomorrow,
will run on new routes with transfer
privileges between the busses and street
cars.

SANE FOURTH HERE

A representative of the state indus
trial commission last week checked up
the local stores on Fourth of July
goods and condemned about car load
of explosives and fireworks. Even or
dinary roman candles, sidewalk torpe-
does and the so-called son-of-a-gun,
which the youngster crack under their
soles are forbidden. Virtually nothing
is allowed in the state but the nnocu-
Gus sparklers and colored lights. Moth
ing with "bang" TO it is lawful in the
Badger state. 1t may be hard on the
youngsters but after a few years they
won't know the difference and the good
old days of ruined eyes, bloody stumps
and deaths from tetanus will be like
many other good old days" better in
retrospect than in repetition.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES

In the action wherein the administra-
tor of the late policeman Squires sued
to recover against Thomas Sporer for
both the injuries resulting from a mo-
tor collision, and also for the officers
death, the jury found for the plain
tiff for the injuries in the sum Of
$1,000, but denied him the $4,000 addi-
tional he would have recovered because
of the death
This latter result was attained by
answering "No" to the question: "Was
the death of the said Squires the ma
terial and probable consequence of the
iniures?"
If the verdict stands it means that
Sporer was responsible for the collision
and the injuries, but that the injuries
were not the cause of the death.
The case of Harry Axel VS. Dan Dug
gan, occupied all day Thursday, last
week.
1t was an action for damages for an
assault and battery alleged to have
been made last fall by Duggan in the
town of Cato on Axel when the latter
called for a COW he had bought from
Duggan some weeks before. The
plaintiff proved a ruptured ear drum
and made some showing of permanent
ly defective hearing, and the jury
found for Axel and gave him $500
damages. Duggan claimed that he
gave AXel only one slap but Axers
battered condition and the testimony of
a young lady that Duggan told her he
was going to "GX the jew" when he
called were probably decisive.
Following this a number of the rest
of the cases were settled or continued
and the panel dismissed for the term,
The court calendar was set for call
for July 5th, to give the lawyers a
chance to attend the state bar meeting
at Fond duies this week.
Sixel VS. Dteke and Orchokowski VS..
Musiel were settled out of court and
hearing of the troubles over the Eell-
nersyille fire insurance company were
postponed as the state intervention in
the matter may put new aspect on
the affair.

Mr.. l.. j. Nash gave the gathering a
talk in the course of which he said that

VETOES BAND ACTION

As was expected Mayor Georgenson
tled veto of the action of the city
council in making an appropriation of
$1,000 for band concerts. As it passed
by vote of 7 to 6 it does not seem
likely that it can be adopted over the
veto.
Without filing a veto the mayor
asked the council to reconsider its ac-
tion in appropriating $4,000 for a pub
lie comfort station in the city hall
"back yard"
In the veto of the band appropra-
tion the mayor sets out ten points as
his reasons for disapproval, among
which were that money in excess of
$1,000 had not been provided for in
the budget, economy, Strengthened fl
nancial condition, price for eight con
certs eXorbitant, other nearby cities
furnishing smaller sums, the band will
not tell what it will give for the sum
and that he is willing to approve of
spending not to exceed $500.
The matter of money for band con
certS is a mere difference of opinion
as to the proper sum. but on the qucs-
tion of a comfort station it is hard to
see wherein the mayor is wrong in dis
approving. To start to spend S6,O0Q
which will doubtless run much higher,
or to spend any sum whatever, on a
public station off on a back street looks
like typical public affairs proceeding
That's the one he ought to have vetoed

er at Schneider'S about two miles west
of Francis Creek, last Friday evening
The young man with four companions
went to the river to bathe. He was
one of the first to enter the water and
was hardly in when he called for help.
He could not swim and was unexpect-
edly beyond his depth. William Even,
the only one of the party able to swim
went to his aid and nearly lost his life
in the attempt as the drowning man
clutched him and held on. He broke
the hold and attempted again to aid
Hessel but could not help. The body
was found about two hours later
The place has been a fayorite swim
ming place and had been considered
safe. The recent floods may have
washed out holes in the bed of the
stream

Sr., of Francis Creek lie is survived
by his parents, two sisters, Mrs. Luke
Herman of Mishicot and Miss Theresa,
