Annual Pilgrimage
of Cars to South
Many People Motoring to the South
This Fall for Vacations.
(Ru Assnniated press !


Jacksonville, Fla.-Somebody in Maine
or Minnesota discovered few years
ago that he could load his family into
the family fiyyer and drive to Florida
for the winter at an expense about
equal to the railroad fare for one per-
son.
Now motor cars, from the quiet-run-
ming sedan to the rafting, banging
fiivver with frying pans, lanterns, cof-
fee pots, buckets and other utensils
attached all over them from radiators
to spare tire racks, descend upon Flor
ida in droves, bearing the vanguard of
the thousands of tourists who motor to
the peninsula in the fall from all parts
of the Union.
The movement is not expected to Be
in full swing before the middle of No
vember, but for weeks they have been
trickling through the gateways, and by
October Is it was estimated that dur
ing the daylight hours one tourist car
was crossing the border over the three
main highways every fifteen minutes.
Some of the vehicles include contrap-
tons never before seen on four wheels.
One favored by many of the travellers
is a chassis with a one-room house
upon it, equipped with everything from
stationary wash basin to rocking
chairs.
The fivver with camping equipment
suspended from every possible part of
the car to which bit of wire or cord
can be attached, is the most common
long-distance traveller. A shay burner"
lantern, one of the variety usually seen
about farmhouses, may be attached to
the radiator cap. Under the car may
be swinging two or three water buck
cts each filled with cooking utensils, or
other articles. A frying pan may be
attached to door handle, and the run
ming boards usually are weighted down
with baggage and the inevitable small
tent that may be erected within a few
minutes when the tourist finds likely
place to stop for the night. Every city
and town in Florida along the motor
routes within the last few years has
established camp site, and in the case
of those on the outskirts of the larger
places are equipped with electric lights,
water mains and sewerage. Every
camp is under the supervision of the
state board of health, and one sanitary
engineer devotes his entire time during
the winter to the inspection of them.

Quick Work of Peter Os.
tergaard Saves Life of
Peter Christensen.
CAUGHT IN CAVE IN
Christensen Is Buried under
Three Feet of Earth when
Dirt Falls in Excavation.

Quick rescue work is all that pre-
vented Peter Christensen, 62 Sher-
idan Road, from sbeing buried alive
just before noon today when he was
caught in cave-in in an excavation
being made in West street Just south
of Prairie avenue in some construction
work being done there. Christensen
was buried beneath three feet of loose
clay and when extricated from the ac-
cidental grave by the quick rescue
work of Peter Ostergaard, his employ
er, was almost suffocated. He was re-
vived and it is declared will suffer, no
effects from his experience.
The two men were digging arp ex-
cavation for sewer stub to be placed
in the street prior to the work of paw
ing. Christensen was in the ditch,
which was more than ten feet deep and
had Just been warned to watch out
for cave-in.
Caught Under LaOse Dirt.
He wac just bending over when the
earth above him gave way and caught
him under its weight His screams
for help could just be heard as he was
buried beneath three feet of the loose
clay.
Ostergaard, who was nearby, hur-
ried to the mans assistance and dug
frantically to rescue the workman. He
was assisted in this work by Inspector
S. R. Kerr and other workmen. 1t
took several minutes to extricate the
buried workman; fortunately the fact
that he was in kneeling posture kept
a pocket of air which prevented him
from being suffocated. When the res
cuers reached him he was limp but was
conscious and was. quickly revived.
Had Taken Precautions.
According to Inspector Kerr all or
binary precautions had been taken by
the workmen to prevent a cave-in and
the accident was declared to have been
unavoidable. The loose earth which
had been taken from the street had
been thrown behind guard but this
guard had given way allowing the
landslide which buried the workman.
The police were summoned to the
scene of the accident and arrived in
time to aid in the work of rescuing
the. workman who was almost buried
alive.

BERGER GLOATS OVER
HIS NEW VICTORY
Victor Berger is Returned to the House
of Representatives, in Elec-
ton in Milwaukee.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.l

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l
Milwaukee Wis. Representative
elect Victor L. Berger for the third
time is Wisconsin's choice from the
Fifth district. Twice elected to Con-
gress and both time refused his seat,
Mr.. Berger, following his defeat two
years ago by William H. Stafford, Re-
publican, made a fourth campaign,
turning the tables on Stafford by an
apparent comfortable majority.
AS leading Socialist in Wisconsin Mr..
Berger's election came as the result of
the quietest campaign his party has
made in the history of Wisconsin So
cialism. Repeal of the state prohibit
ton enforcement law and adoption of
a number of amendments to the state
constitution to permit acquisition Of
property by the state, were the two
chief issues advanced in the Socialist
platform. However, Mr.. Berger does
not consider his election, personal vic
tory or victory for the Socialist par
ty. Rather, he considers it the vim
dication of party that "was the only
one that before the war, since and
during the war has sk6od fearlessly for
party principles"
"There are just two issues that were
decided in this election" Mr.. Berger
said in statement last night. First,
the issue of representative government.
This had to be fought out in every
country of the past. 1t has been de-
cided in every country in favor of the
people. =
"The Fifth district of Wisconsin,
and every other district in the country,
has a constitutional right to be rep
resented by the man of its choice -
no matter whether the ajority of the
other congressman like him or not In
England, Germany, France and Italy,
men are elected very often who have
been in prison, or who are in prison,
for some political offense. In Ireland
men were elected to the English parlia-
ment and the English parliament was
willing to seat those who had borne
arms against the English government.
"If constituency has not a right
to elect any citizen it may choose to
represent it - then representative
government is snare and an illusion.
hope the Fifth district of Wisconsin
has settled this question for good and
all time.
Second, this election settled the
myth that we entered the, world war
because the majority of the common
people will it.
81, like Senator LaFollette, opposed
our entrance into the war. During
the war we were lampooned, maligned
and crucifed for six years. It is only
natural that the people should send
both Of US to Congress together"

HERMIT DEAD;
LEFT FORTUNE
Fl. T. Smith, Hermit of
Salem" Died Thursday
at Racine Asylum.
COUSINS ARE HEIRS
Two Cousins in California On
" Known Heirs to Estate of
Approximately $4,000.

Leaving fortune of approximately
$4,000, Henry T. Smith, aged SO, long
known as the Hermit Of Salem" died
Thursday afternoon at the Racine
county asylum following an attack of
cerebral hemorrhage. For many years
the deceased had lived in a one-room
hut on his farm near the village of
Salem where his eccentricities had long
been the talk of the people of the
community.
Four years ago, in March 1918, Coun-
ty Humane officer James Karnes and
other officials went to the home to in
vestigate the stories current regarding
the hermit. AS a result Of this d
guardian was appointed and later in
October 1918 when the condition of
the patient became more critical, he
was declared insane and taken to the
Racine institution.
Life Was Eccentric One.
The deceased had lived q most &C.
centric life. From the time that he
came to Kenosha county nearly half a
century ago he had lived alone, shun-
ming companions and, making only very
infrequent visits to the village. He
had lived very frugally and had saved
considerable amount of money.
Reports to the effect that large sums
of money were concealed in the home
were confirmed for officials who inves-
tigated the mans condition found rolls
of money buried under the floor, hid
den in mattresses and in other places
about the home. The action of officials
mad been taken to prevent the man
from becoming victim of robbers who
might have killed him for his hidden
hoard. The man had never been of any
trouble to his neighbors, living entirely
to himself and bothering no one.
Fortune Goes to Cousins.
The only relatives of the deceased,
o far as is known, are two cousins,
Clarence Smith and the other a
ter of the latter, both of whom live
IN California. 1t is believed that they
Will fall heir to the estate of the
hermit inasmuch as there is no record
of any will having been made. When
the deceased was declared incompetent
Joseph Funck was appointed as his
guardian and took charge of his estate.
The money which was found boarded at
the home was invested in Liberty bonds
and other properties and. has K Kept N
creasing. The last report showed that
the hermit had $25,869.18 in cash and
bonds and in addition owned the small
farm on which he lived and other
property. The total value of the es-
tate will probably be $4,000.
The remains were brought this morn
ing to the Hansen~funeral home. No
arrangements have been made for the
funeral services pending news from
the cousins of the deceased in Cali
-fornia.
