WOMAN FOUND DYING

Mrs. Amelian Leiteritz lived in the
second floor apartments of Mrs Berndt
at 1926 South Thirteenth street When
she gave no indications of moving
about last Sunday morning, Mrs.
Berndt became alarmed and Sunday
noon she and neighbors whom she
called broke in the door and found
Mrs, Leiteritz unconscious on the floor.
She had evidently suffered a stroke as
she was preparing to retire Saturday
night, as she was party disrobed She
died at the Holy Family hospital
Monday night without having regained
consciousness. She had evidently suf-
fered a cerebral hemorrhage.
Mrs. Leiteritz was about Ga years of
age and has resided in the city many
years. After the death of her husband
a few years ago she sold the home on
Green street and has been living alone
in rental apartments. She is survived
by brother.

OLD LAND MARK BURNED

The big three-story frame structure
at the west end of the triangle bound
ed by Water, Franklin and Twelfth
streets burned to the ground between
and s o'clock last Thursday afternoon.
The building was originally used for a
pea cannery of the ManitOwoc Pea
Packing company, but of late years
has been used for storage purposes. A
large part of the structure was filled
with paper containers, cartons and
other containers for use at the Alumi-
mum Goods plant, few blocks away,
and the rest was filled with miscel-
laneOus things in storage including a
lot of second hand automobiles. Most
of it belonged to Alfred Muchin, who
bought the premises about year ago
and who is heavy loser, as he carried
hut $4,000 insurance on the building
and nothing on the contents. The
Aluminium Goods loss was reported to
be about $4,000, fully covered. The
entire loss will probably run close to
100000 The FIRE was discovered
shortly after $50 o'clock and had
made such headway in the big struct-
ure and It's infammable contents that
no human agency could arrest 1t. 1t
was a seething cauldron in an half hour
and the only service the department
could perform was to confine the blaze
to the storehouse 1t was a spectacular
blaze and the first big fire in several
years. The city's pumper received its
first test and made good For time
eight streams were playing on the fire.
The double platoon system also had its
first test and worked out all right
The Aluminium Goods plant was not
seriously inconvenienced by the loss of
its goods, but several departments had
to shut down for a time.

BURGLARS TURNED LOOSE

Three of the five members of the
gang of young burglars called the
"ODonnell gang who we're sent up to
serve terms of four and five years are
out after serving small parts of their
stretches, Leander Strum, sent over
for four years, and Evan Krause, given
five years, were both turned loose by
the state authorities last December and
now Frank Gallagher, sentenced to
serve five years, is back in his old
haunts. Endries and O'Donnell are
still working for the state; but why
play favorites? Both will probably
shortly be out Local officials say that
they were not consulted in regard to
these paroles and that the parole board
could have made no investigation of
the merits. Some of them were indig-
nant and the police who worked hard
and did a mertorous bit of work in
rounding up the crowd threw up their
hands and said; "Whats the use?"

SOME MARINE NOTES

Because of damage to the America,
a sand sucker steamer which was in
jured by bridge at Chicago, the Hy-
dro, a sister ship which had been in
ordinary here, was put into commits
sion and left last week to take the
place Of The America. The damaged
steamer is at the local yards for ex.
tensiye repairs to superslructure which
viii take three weeks or more.
The Alabama, all bright with new
paint and shined brass, came down
from winter quarters last Friday and
left port Saturday morning to 20 on
her seasons schedule
The Goodrich companys Illinois, re-
Gently purchased, arrived in port this
week and will be given a general over
hauling, including decorating and a
dress of the company's well known. dis
linctiyc color scheme.

NEW SLIGHTLY BUILDING

An old landmark, although the term
"eye-sore" would probably be more
generally employed, will shortly disap-
pear as the ancient frame building at
the northeast corner of the intersec-
tion of Franklin and Ninth streets is
being torn down to make way for fine
appearing new garage, sales and stor-
age building of the Hamachek Bleser
Company. The new building will have
so feet on both Quay and Franklin
streets and l40 feet on Ninth street
The car entrance will be on Ninth
street The building will be of fire
proof construction and will be a real
ornament to the neighborhood.
The cost of the building is estimated
at $4,000, from which 1t may be
cleaned that it will be first class
structure.

SHIPPERS ASK WEEKLY BOAT

A committee of local shippers are to
meet today with officials of the Good
rich line of steamers at Chicago in an
effort to have pre-war freight service
re-established on the west shore north
of Milwaukee. The meeting is held
on the initiative of the local Rotary,
Lions and KiwaniS clubs. They have
been assured that there will also be
present representatives of shippers
from Port Washington, Sheboygan,
Two Rivers, Algoma, Kewaunee, and
Sturgeon Bay All that is asked is a
once a week boat for freight from Mil
waukee to Sturgeon Bay with stops at
all the ports named
Previous communications from Gen
eral Manager Thorpe were not en-
couraging and shippers say that if the
Goodrich fleet cannot be induced to
put on the service there are two or
three other lines than can be approach
ed with promises of sufficient tonnage.
1t is surely a singular spectacle for
Manitowoc TO be begging for once
week boat

DREDGING CONFERENCE

There was a conference of the city
council Saturday afternoon on the
dredging problem with Messrs. Peter,
William and Clement Reiss, of the Reiss
Coal company, c. w. West of the Ship
building corporation, and Thomas Nc
Keough of the Bartlett-Frazier com
pany. Mr.. Peter Reiss gave the alder
men lot of information the gst Of
which was that the city must dredge
the channel up to the upper 500 Line
docks or the coal which it is planned
to bring to Manitowoc will he diverted
to other ports, most of it probably to
Ashland. The discussion wandered far
afeld and included taxation and other
things, but the coihpany's ultimatunl
was the big point. Alderman Drumm
suggested his $3.50 split on cost with
the interestc involved but Mr.. Ress
put an instant quetus on the idea OF
contributing anything toward channel
dredging. His company couldn't af-
ford to make such a precedent Mr..
West spoke along the same lines. No
action was in order and none was
taken Bids for the dredging will be
opened May Q.

GRADING FOR SCHOOL

Walter o. Bahr, who was given the
contract for grading on Roeff's hill,
preparatory to starting work of cree
tion of the new high school building,
started grading work Monday. The
contractor is not using the familiar
free scrapers, but is employing a meth
od somewhat novel here The scrapers
are operated by a cable work ed by a
gasoline engine. 1t does the work fas-
ter than horsc-drawn scrapers and EN-
ploys less labor.
Mr.. S. Zendala, in charge of the
work for Mr.. Bahr, rented the equip
ment for the job, and says that the
work will take less than half the time
than the usual number Of old-time
scrapers gould take. Advertising for
bids for erecting the school will soon
be published as the final form of plans
and specifications are about ready for
the contractors

GATERNAR BUYS RAppEL ASSETS

The assets of the j. f. Rappel com
pany. bankrupt, were bid in by VIII
liam Gaterman last Friday for $4,000.
There were three bidders present, but
Mr. Gaterman made the best offer. The
judgment of $4,000 held by the bank
rupt against the city of Manitowoc
was not included in the sale. This case
has not been appealed but in all proba-
bility will be as the city council has
authorized the appeal and the city has
gone to an expense of nearly $1,000 in
preparing a bill of exceptions.
Claims totaling S240,000 have been
filed. Creditors will get from 10 to Is
per cent on their claims. All they can
do is grin and bear it.
Mr., Gaterman, the purchaser, was a
heavy stockholder and was also one of
the largest of the unsecured creditors.
1t could not be learned definitely
whether or not the business will be
continued, but indications are that it
will be.

JUMPED FOR HIS LIFE

A team of horses owned by Peter
Shimek backed up with wagon load
of stone and over a twenty-five feet
drop at the lime-kiIns at Rockwell,
Tuesday. The driver, John Shmek,
escaped with his life by jumping but
the horses were instantly killed The
team was being used in hauling stone
to the city for use in the new County
Training school in course of erection.
The load was taken at the upper quar-
ry which has a depth of only seven
feet and the haul out had )een often
made without trouble. The horses, for
some unaccountable reason seemed to
be unable to start it up but were
dragged over the edge into the deep
quarry to their death

BASEBALL

The Aluminium Goods team lost to
Chiffon, 4 to 3, at the West Side park
Sunday. The locals lost in the fourth
inning, when four hits and couple of
boots netted the visited three runs.
Outside of that inning Liebenow pitch
ed a steady game, but Kronehke, on
the mount for the visitors, was. easily
the hero of the fray. lie allowed but
five hits. Tadych caught Liebenow,
while Jcnson was behild the bat for
the guests. Chiffon has a good team.
The Goods team plays Saturday and
Sunday against the Ludington team,
pennant winners last fall in the Michi-
gan Central league.
The Lutheran Mems club opened the
season by winning game from Egan's
Colts, 4 to l. Koch, for the Lutheran
boys, and Egan for the Colts, both
pitched good ball The Eganites did
not have their regular lineup present,
but will be all organized and set by
next Sunday
Meanwhile rumors continue of the
organization of a regular city team,
and the crowds out to watch the prairie
games would indicate that there would
be sufficient patronage to keep going.

STATE PARK ORGANIZATION

An organization was effected Tues
day evening, upon the initiative of the
County Fish and Game Association, for
the purpose of making an effort to
raise Mantowoc's quota in the Wiscon-
sin Northern Lakes project. The
movement is to raise a large sum of
money with which to buy large tract
Of land in northwestern Wisconsin
which, it is claimed, is the last consid-
cradle tract of "old Wisconsin" that
is virgin forest untouched by the AK
of the loggers 1t includes chain of
beautiful lakes and If it is fifty per
cent of what the literature of the
movement claims for it, it should be
a park, if the purchase can be financed.
The governor a year ago vetoed the
bill to have the state buy it. The local
officers chosen are: chairman, f.. l..
Kelley; secretary, Arthur Trippler,
treasurer, Charles NJ. Krumm.

in this city at the court house Saturday

school district and two teachers from
each township together with the coun-
ty superintendent, committee on com
