fairs into the offer of Henry Ford to
purchase and operate the Muscle Shoals
nitrate project, announced he would
forward "two other offers for Muscle

Secretary Weeks described the nego-

proposition.
Referring to the manufacture of
fertilizers by Muscle Shoals plant, Mr..
Weeks said he believed Mr.. Ford was
"very largely cropping in the dark"
"The interest in this matter" he
continued, "is due to the large num-

TAKE OPTION ON
LOCAL PROPERTY
Hansen Site on South and
Main SITS. Secured for
New Hotel.
NINESTORY STRUCTURE
Persons Interested in Purchase
Disclose Plans for Nine Story
200 Room Hotel on Site.

Kenosha's hopes for modern, up
to-date hotel took long step toward
realization today when it became
known that the Hansen site located at
the southeast corner of Main and South
streets had been secured by company
of business men, to be used as the
location for a new, modern, 200-room
ment was made revealing the identity
of all the men concerned in the deal,
it is known that many of those who
have been interested in the erection of
another large structure here have tax
en- an interest in the hotel project and
were members of the group who Sc
cured the new site.
While it was admitted by those in
terested in the project that the option
for the site was secured, it was with
reticence that any announcement of
their plans was given for publication.
'sNot Paper Hotel"
Building hotels on paper has been a
popular pastime in Kenosha," said one
of the men interested in the deal, "and
for that reason there has been some
reticency in making any announcement
regarding this new structure. This is
not a paper hobel'; the plans are far
beyond that stage and big business
men have been interested to the extent
that it is now certainty. So far as
the site is concerned, our option on it
has been signed, sealed and delivered.
Some of the persons interested in the
deal are in Milwaukee today making
arrangements for clearing the site and
taking care Of some technical ques-
tions in regard to the transference of
the property"
1t was admitted that the report to
the effect that site having frontage
Of 10 feet on Main street and SINH
lar amount on South street was named
in the option was true. This will in
clude the property which is now occu-
pied by the former home of Thomas
Hansen and the former funeral par
Tors and garage to the rear of it,
1t was stated that the agreement
which provides for the transference of
the property was signed last Friday
afternoon and that steps would soon
be taken for the clearing of the site.
Thomas Hansen, the owner of the
property, declined to make any state
ment regarding the deal
Plan a Real Hotel.
The plans for the hotel provide for
the erection of one which will meet
the growing needs of Kenosha and be
a credit to the work of the men behind
the project. 1t is to be a nine-story
building with all modern, fre-proof
structure and equipment. 1t will have
200 rooms, together with parlors and
dining rooms, which it is believed will
make it real civic center in Kenosha.
The approximate cost of the proposed
hotel will mount above 100000.
A more complete announcement Of
the personnel of the company inter-
ested in the new structure is to be
made in the very near future. This
will also give more details regarding
the plans for the new building.

Without attempting to settle the
liability for the accident, the corners
jury was called to investigate the
motor accident which resulted in the
death Of Joseph H. Sweeney and the
serious injury of Andrew F. Stahl on
Monday evening, filed a verdict early
this morning stating merely that the
victim haC met his death when the
automobile which he was driving was

S. M. Bey, of Fond du Lac, the en-
gineer on the train, testified that the
train had been eight minutes late out
of Burlington and that they were MAX
ing up time. He said that the train
was probably running at sixty miles
an hour when because he saw the car
on the track, he put on the air brakes
in an effort to prevent the accident.
1t was declared that the train had
whistled for the crossing and that the
bell was ringing as the airbrakes were
applied.
R. C. Crawford, the firemen on the
train, told how he had watched for the
flag signal at the Wheatland station
and when this was not seen had sig
nailed to the engineer to keep up the
speed. He also told how he had seen
the automobile on the tracks and had
Immediately signalled for the train to

Freight Blocked View.
1t was brought out in the testimony
that a freight train had been side
tracked on passing switch and it is
believed that the men in the automo-
bile in watching it had failed to see
the approaching passenger train. The
freight train blocked the view of the
approaching mail train for quite a
distance.
