NUMBER rs
CITY WANTS CHILD WELFARE

Citizens answering call OF Mayor
1ecrgenson met last Friday afternoon
with Mr. Courtney Dunwidde and DR.
W. j. French of Washington. d. G.
representing the National Child Wei
fare association in regard to the mat
ter of Manitowoc's application that II
be chosen as one of three cities In
which the association is to spend lot
of money in demonstrations of child
welfare work. The visitors were mot
as definite as to what would be done
in the city nor as to the responsibilities
to be assumed by the city as It was
hoped they would be, but the project
received the unanimous endorsement of
the gathering of over sixty representa-
tiyes of local organizations, including
city officials, physicians, nurses, fra
ternal orders, clubs, and the Chamber
of Commerce.
The idea is to spend $4,000 per
year in the work for five years, In each
of three cities, one city to be located
in the Mississippi valley. DIR. French
said that the city securing the award
of the fund would become a center of
a child welfare program which the
committee would supervise and assist
in financing with the expectation that
the city would take over the work as
it develops. DR.. French said that the
fund would undertake organization
and assume expense of that work,
probably the first step of which would
be employment of additional nurses,
surveys, provide for examinations and
expert advice but in no way interfere
with local physicians. AS the program
progresses it would embrace recrea-
ton work for physical development,
health education in the schools and
other branches of work; that In con-
nection with the work the fund would
continue supervision the entire Ave
years if necessary, but this is not as
Sured.
At an informal meeting of the city
council that evening, a resolution was
passed reading, in part, as follows;
"If the nature of the work be such that
the result will warrant it, assurance Is
hereby given, that the city of Manito-
woe, through its common council, and
various other organizations stands
ready to expend within the next five
(5) years the sum of $25,000.00 for
cooperation with, and the continued
carrying on of, this grand work, and
again bespeak, the hearty moral CO.
operation of the entire community

BAR HONORS |. J. NASH

The Manitowoc County Bar associa-
ton will honor Mr.. l.. j. Nash of this
city by dinner at the K. of c club
house this evening, Thursday, the oc-
casion being the fftieth anniversary of
Mr.. NaSh's admission to the bar. Three
justices of the supreme court, Chief
Justice Vinje, and Justices Jones and
Crownhart, have promised to attend.
Mr.. Nash was admitted to the bar by
Circuit Judge Mclean on Dec IA,
1872, and practiced in this city until
he accepted the appointment made by
the supreme court to the new office of
reyisor of Statutes in 1910. He re-
signed about two years ago and did
not resume an active law practice, al
though he is frequently consulted by
the revisor's office. During his forty
years at the bar he was one of the
states leading lawyers, and he per-
formed a great and monumental serv-
ice to the state in the revisor's office.
The Pilot joins in the general chorus
of felicitation to a citizen worthy of
honor

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Among the civil cases in court last
week was one that attracted some at.
tention from the fact that it was based
on a claim of damage for injuries
caused to an automobile on highway
by farmers COW getting into the way
of the car. Henry Vida of this city
alleged that he was driving with all
due care past the farm of Erwin Meyer
in the town of Newton when Meyer so
negligently drove his stock into the
road that one of the critters jumped in
front of the car and the resulting inn
pact put the plaintiff to considerable
expense at repair shop. The jury, as
BELTS all good juries, had its supper
before celebrating, and returned
shortly after with verdict against the
COW.
Municipal court juries are made up
exclusively of residents of the city. The
defendant might have had some show
in circuit court where he would have
had some jurors more familiar with
driving cows.
John Svacina denied that he had in
argument and laid violent hands on his
landlady, Mrs. Koral, as she averred,
but after hearing the evidence the
court told him to contribute $5 and to
not do it again.
A travelling salesman named Grass,
residing at Green Bay, was in court
Tuesday, facing a serious charge made
by girl employed at local hotel. He
pleaded mot guilty" and the matter
was set for hearing for this morning.
William Shimek, who had been
bound over for trial in circuit court
on criminal charge of neglecting to
stop his automobile after injuring a
pedestrian changed his mind this week
and decided to plead guilty. He can
ask the county court to impose SEN
tence, as circuit court is not in session.

FUGITIVE DOCTOR TAKEN

DIR. W. V. Rupp of Wayside who
disappeared six weeks ago, was taken
into custody at Milwaukee last Thurs
day. He had been to St. Louis, New
Orleans and other more or less distant
cities, and came back this way to sur
render to the authorities, it is said. He
phoned to his wife from hotel pre-
tending to be friend of DR.. Rupp, but
the wife recognized the voice and told
the police and within half hour he
was in custody. The physician met his
wife overseas while serving in the Brit
ish army. When he left Wayside it
was reported that his affairs were in a
bad tangle. The newspaper accounts
intimate that he was not alone in his
ramblings since he left and this phase
of the matter is said to be under in
vestigation by the federal officers. At
Green Bay Monday the doctor was
committed to Jail in default of $4,000
bonds on charges of wife abandon
ment, removing chattel mortgaged
property out of the state and practic-
ing medicine without license. He had
been refused license because he
could not furnish satisfactory evidence
of attendance at college.
In court at Green Bay yesterday he
pleaded guilty to the charge of aban-
donment and was sentenced to one
year at the Green Bay reformatory.

GATES AT CROSSING

Sometimes we get things we badly
need as is illustrated by the fact that
the C. & N. w. railway is putting gates
at the grade crossing of its main line
and Calumet road. Two state trunk
lines come into the city over this road,
and No. II is federal trunk highway
and the traffic on the road is very
heavy in the summer. Summer even
ings the automobiles going to and
from the resorts at Silver Lake are
often procession. The action is said
to be due in part, at least, to the sug-
gestion to the railway people that the
federal government is adverse to un-
guarded crossings on federal highways.
The gates will be operated twenty-four
hours per day from the signal tower
nearby and are already being installed.

FAMILY LAND POOR

Reports of destitution and incapacity
resulted in county officials visiting a
home in Cooperstown last week and a
scene of almost unbelievable squalor
was uncovered. Seven people sleeping
in two beds with insufficient bed cloth
ing, filth and dearth of food were
discovered. Seven children were in
the home, and the youngsters had their
flannels sewed on for the winter. Five
of the children were brought to the
city and after bath, barbering and
new clean clothes had been provided
it was hard to believe they were the
same children. The mother owns l2O
acres of land but since the death OF
her husband has been unable to work
it profitably. The children will be
taken off her hands, at least for the
time being.

DASSEY IN BAD AGAIN

1t seems that John Dassey just can't
be good. The sheriff raided his place
on the Calumet road just outside the
city yesterday noon and seized small
quantity of liquor and placed the pro-
prietor under arrest. The officials
have had the place under observation
for some time and the recent confeS-
sions of some moonshiners, who are
said to have named Dassey as one of
their customers, brought on the mex-
pected visit 1t was reported that
John was selling to all comers at a
quarter a shot. He served a term of
some months under the federal law
when the prohibition enforcement was
a new thing about two years ago. He
was then running the old marine Ex-
change" at Sixth and Commercial
streets.
There were also rumors that he has
been indulging in another illicit traf-
fic at the new place.
Dassey had a license revoked at
Marinette before coming here and a
former chief of police objected to the
council granting him a license before
the prohibition became effective but he
got it anyway.
1t was said that he is not now elig-
ible for the "soft drink" license he has
been lately running under, because of
his violation of the prohibition law.

UNDER CAR nine HOURS

Eli Baugniet had an experience Tues
day night that he will not be likely to
forget. He lay under an overturned
automobile for nine hours with the
mercury registering zero.
Baugniet was returning to his home
from the city Tuesday afternoon
About two miles out on the Shoto road
some attention to his accelerator caus-
ed a momentary inattention to ms
steering and the car gave lnrch ana
turned over into the ditch. lie was
pinioned by the wheel in such a way
that he could not move. Passerspy
seeing no sign Of life did not stop and
the high wind prevented him being
heard. He was warmly clad and pro
tected from the wind and so survived
the experience.
Arthur T.. Peterson, travelling
salesman of Oshkosh coming to town
at one o'clock Wednesday morning
passed him, and after going mile or
more decided to go back and investi-
gate. He found Baugniet but had to
rouse up farmer near by to assist in
releasing the prisoner. At the hospital
1t was said that the only injuries ap.
parent we're frozen toes, and that
Baugniet will be about in q few days
but little the worse for his experience.

CHLORIDE OF LIME BEATEN

Michael Michalek, 1l2l South 22nd
street, was very sick Monday and it
developed that he had taken quantity
of chloride of lime into his system, ap-
parently with suicidal intent Physl-
clans were unable to induce him to go
to the Holy Family hospital for treat
ment and so they worked on him at
his home. The assistance was timely
or the chloride delicacy would have
terminated Michaers career here. 1t
appeared that the act was done on inn
pulse during fit of remorse that ac-
companied the dark brown taste which
he had acquired from night of rev.
elry, and that this state having passed
away he was quite willing to again take
up the burden of existence and grapple
with its problems.
There was lot of sympathy for
him as he has been a sober and indus
trious fellow.

ITEMS FROM the PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

Manitowoc No. is the name of the
steam engine built by the Messrs. Cole
Brothers, of Pawtucket, r. l., for this
city, which arrived here on Tuesday
night, at half past six, in charge of
one of the members of the firm, and
was safely lodged in the Badger engine
house by half past eleven. She was set
up yesterday, and partial test was
made of the machinery and the capac-
lty of the engine. Fire was raised in
the furnace at ten minutes past two.
and at sixteen minutes past two, or in
SIX minutes from the starting of the
1re, the steam gauge indicated thirty
pounds of steam, the pumps were start
ed, and she showed her power by
throwing solid body of water,
through an inch and a half nozzle, a
distance of one hundred and twenty-six
feet, A practical test of the power of
the engine will be made this afternoon
at two O'Clock, when the whole of our
fire department will be present. The
engine is handsomely finished, and re-
fleets credit upon the manufacturers.
Of the special election for County
Treasurer last Monday we cannot give
the official vote, but the majority will
approximate from seventy-five to one
hundred for Mr.. Querin Even. This
is not what we hoped for; but like all
law abiding Democrats we have to sub
NIT with the best grace possible. His
opponent, Mr.. Albert Wittenberg, made
a gallant fight, and almost single e-hand-
ed, and if the Third ward of this city
had given him the same vote as at the
November election, or if Two Rivers
and Mishicott had given him the same
vote as before, he would have been
elected. And we think it must be ad-
mitted that he made as good single
hand canvass as ever was made in the
county. That Democratic towns went
back, without an apparent reason, is no
fault of his He certainly was Just as
good a man as when he was on the
general ticket at the November cleo
ton. Whether the vote was out or not,
is more than we can tell until we get
4 Il. 49,. = n Al
terror towns did as well as before, some
of them better. Schleswig (Which is
the banner town in this election) in
creased his majority, and gave Mr..
Even, only eleven votes, while Maple
Grove, the old "banner town" with Il
decreased vote of IS increased his
(Wittenberg's) majority 55 over the
November election.

BACK FOR MORE HENS

Some one visited the hen coop of
Walter Holtz, 423 North Fifth street,
three weeks ago and showed good
Judgment in the selection of fowls.
Holtz reinforced the hen house door
and bought new burglar proof lock,
but 1t was wasted time and money. The
marauder evidently thinking he had
overlooked few good birds. came
back last week, and to make sure
made clean sweep of the poultry. All
he left was some feathers. Holtz has
a suspicion of who the raiders are, but
this resulted In no hens being returned.

INCOME TAXES LESS

Notwithstanding that after the in
come tax returns had been completed
the assessor stumbled on windfall of
S2l, ,S24.42 in income tax returns. The
county will collect nearly a quarter
million dollars less in income taxes
this year than it did last year. The
total this year will be Sl2o,t6s.5l, as
against S346,397 35 last year. The tax
to be now collected is on incomes for
the wear 1921 and there is reasonable
anticipation that when 1922 is collect
ed year hence the tax will be con-
siderably heavier. The loss over the
previous year is due to a lessening of
corporation taxes which decreased
from S277.5O2 .93 to S41,51l.s2, while
individual taxes increased from $685.
s94.42 to S79,956.96 due to increase in
the surtax. The following are the fig
ures for the two years:

CITY DISPUTES AWARD

The city council in special ession
last Friday evening voted to appeal
TO the Dane county court from the de-
cision of the industrial commission IN
awarding Mary Kopidlansky $4,000 for
the death of her brother Frank, who
died while serving as city fireman at
n city fire last spring. The city attor-
ney had applied for a re-hearing before
the commission but said that he had
but little hope that it would be grant
ed The city contended before the com
mission that there was not sufficient
proof that the fireman died from suffo-
cation and not from natural causes,
and also that the sister was not wholly
dependent on him for support,
Any appeal from an award OF the
commission, or more properly an ac-
tion for review of the order or
award. must be brought in the Dane
county court. and on such appeal the
only points that the party appealing
can raise are jurisdiction of the COM
mission, fraud, or that the facts found
do not support the award. The finding
of facts by the commission, in the ab-
sence of fraud, are conclusive and
final This appeal in any ordinary case
offers but small hope to party teeiing
aggrieved.

Joseph Novy of Kossuth had one of
his legs broken on Thursday last while
taking timber out of the woods. The
log swung around after striking an OBJ
struction and struck him, thus causing
the injury
