BRIGHTER HOPES
FOR NEW HOTEL
Hopes Of New Hotel for
Kenosha Rise at Meet
ing Wednesday.
BIG FIRM INTERESTED

The "hope that springs eternal" in
Kenosha business circles for new
large hotel for this city took another
lurch on Wednesday evening when at
meeting held at the Orpheum build
ing offices, a representative of the
Hockenbury system of building hotels
was presented to number of represen-
tatives of the factories, banks, retail
ers and all business interests of the
city. The fact that the Hockenbury
system has shown an interest in Ke-
nosha is evidence that a probable So
luton of the problem can be worked
out inasmuch as this company has a
most envied record of building hotels in
scores of cities throughout the coun-
try
Kenosha business men were so inter-
ested in the plan outlined that they
agreed to investigate the work of the
Hockenbury system in other cities and
to call more representative meeting
within a very few weeks. Represen-
tatives Of the company will in the
meanwhile make a most thorough sur
vey Of the hotel situation in Kenosha
and be prepared to present a more de-
tailed statement Of their project for
this city.
Not Promotion Scheme
The Hockenbury system differs from
all other plans which have been sug-
gested for financing hotel in Keno
sha in that it is in no way promo
ton plan but offers to sell service. The
company agrees to come into Kenosha,
establish offices and carry on a cam
paign to educate the various business
interests of the city in the methods by
which hotel could be erected here
and be made a paying proposition.
The representatives Of the company
will remain in Kenosha as long as it
is necessary to complete their work.
They will give suggestions as to the
methods to be used in leasing the
structure which problems would, how
ever, be left to the directors for final
action.
Successes in Many Cities.
The Hockenbury system has gone
into many cities where hotel facilities
were needed as in Kenosha and after
promotion plans have failed, have sue
ceeded in erecting a most creditable
hotel, following their own system. They
are now operating in 40 cities and do
not undertake project unless con-
WINGED in their own minds that it will
be successful. 1t was for the latter
reason that they ask for time to make
thorough survey Of the situation
here before presenting formal prop
osition.
E. A. stoll, vice president and gen
eral manager of the commercial de-
partment Of the company, with Offices
at Parisburg, Pa, was the representa-
tive of the Hockenbury system at the
meeting. He mentioned the New Nicol-
cite at Minneapolis, and hotels at
Seattle, Michigan City and Fayette-
vile as the latest successes of the
company and gave list of score of
cities where the work Of the system
might be investigated.

SUES FOR DEATH
OF BRIDEGROOM
Relatives of Man Killed on
Wedding Day Seek $780,
600 Damages.
HOLD DEATH TRUCK
Truck Which Struck and Killed
Man is Tied Up by Order
of the Court.

An echo of the tragedy which oc-
Cured here on Tuesday morning when
John Tubbs, who was making prepare
tions for his wedding later in the day,
was struck and killed by truck driven
by Battista D'Angelo, was heard in
the circuit court this morning when
action was started by Alvin Tubbs, q
brother of the victim, and other rela-
tives to bring suit for $4,000 dam
ages against Angelo Terrallo, owner
of the death truck, and Battista
D'Angelo, the driver. The suit proper
was to be filed during the day.
This morning an order was filed
naming Charles Pfennig as special ad-
ministrator of the state of the vicim
of the accident to prepare the way for
the filing of the damage suit.
Tie Up Death Truck.
The large truck which struck Tubbs
has been ordered held by the court
pending the outcome of the suit An
order was introduced in the court ask
ing that the truck be held as the prop
erty of the defendants to assure pay
ment in the event that damages were
allowed. 1t is possible to secure re
lease of the truck upon the furnishing
of proper bonds.
The suit for damages brought by the
relatives of the victim alleges that the
driver of the truck was negligent and
that this negligence caused the acct
dent. 1t asserts that the victim used
all ordinary caution in crossing the
street and that he was in no way re-
sponsible for the accident.
Driver Also Faces Charge.
The suit will probably not be heard
in court until after the charge of
manslaughter now placed against Bat
tista D'Angelo, the driver of the truck,
have been tried. D'Angelo was ar
rested on manslaughter warrant
after the -coroner's jury had brought
in verdict placing responsibility for
the accident on him and recommending
that a manslaughter charge be placed
against him. He has been released on
bonds of $4,000 pending preliminary
hearing of the case in the municipal
court in the near future.
The legal papers necessary for the
naming of the special administrator
and for the holding of the death truck
were filed by Randall, Cavanagh and
Mittelstaed, representing heirs of the
victim of the accident; the complaint
in the $4,000 suit is also being drawn
by them and will be filed during the
day, Attorney Roy Stephenson is
counsel for Battista JD'AngelO, driver
Of the truck.

Argue as to Form
of Rail Decision

st. Paul, MINI. - Arguments on the
form the courts decree shall take in
approving acquisition on control of
the Central Pacific railroad by the
Southern Pacific company were ready
for presentation to the United States
circuit court of appeals here today.
This decree will be in conformity with
the courts recently announced con-
clusion that the interstate commerce
commission has authority to author
ize and approve" this acquisition, I'M
der provisions of the transportation
act of 1920.
The government had sought a final
decree carrying out the supreme courts
holding that the combination of the
railroads was in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust act, under action ini-
tiated before the passage of the trans
portation act.
1t was after the courts holding that
the railroads applied for and received
sanction of the interstate commerce
commission for authority to carry out
the control arrangement, under GER
tain conditions the commission laid
down.
The court of appeals held the trans
portation act which specifically valves
provisions of the Sherman act, author
lied the commission to consent to the
acquisition of control, under lease and
stock ownership and showed no dis
respect for the supreme court, as the
commission acted under legislation
passed as consequent to the act on
which the court made it's ruling.
Counsel for the government and for
the Southern Pacific were notified on
June ID to appear here today to pre-
sent their arguments on form of the
decree, which the railroad attorneys
urge. should follow closely the details
of the interstate commerce commits
sions order.

NO STOCK YARDS
DECLARES FISHER
Attorney C. j. Fisher Posi-
tive Van Ingen Lands
Won't Spoil City.
10 DISCLOSE PLANS

Clarence J. Fisher, attorney for the
Van Ingen lands and other property
bordering Lake Michigan at the south
of the city, announced this morning
that the alarm that stock yards might
be erected ON the site purchased, was
a needless oneI
81 cannot tell just what the project
will be that will turn the acquired
property to use," said Mr.. Fisher, "but
/ can say positively that the land will
not be used for stock yard purposes"
. "Why not?" he was asked. isn't
the location as favorable. a one for
yards as it would be unfavorable from
the point of view of Kenosha citizens ?
Won't the big packers in Chicago have
to move sometime due to the increased
city taxes and possibility Of even the
Chicago worm turning and declaring
the yards public nuisance? ?"
Fisher Says No.
"But Kenosha is not q center of the
stock-raising district" returned Fisher.
Chicago, is the natural center for the
SJOcK raising Delt, Win al tHe INES
running through there. Why if stock
yards were to be built here all the
railroads would suddenly begin to ac-
quire right-of-ways through the town
and county and it would mean an ex-
penditure for the railways of a million
dollars or more, The logical place
for the stock yards, to anyone who
doesn't think Chicago the logical place,
is at Round-out, Illinois"
"But is there any possibility of
stock yards coming to the south of
Kenosha on the Van Ingen and other
lands recently acquired"
Absolutely and positively not" re-
turned Mr.. Fisher II believe the story
of the plans for the site will be re-
leased within the next ten days"

SUPPORTS 10000 DOGS

Vienna. = From a census which has
just been taken in Vienna it appears
that the city has $4,000 dogs, or twice
as many as in peace time. At first
sight it would seem remarkable that so
many people in this poverty-stricken
city should be keeping dogs.
One of the principal reasons is the
increase in the number of burglaries
and thefts, which has led many house
holds to keep dogs for protection.
Watchmen with police dogs are en-
ployed to guard the great Central
Cemetery from which a number. of
bodies have been stolen.

Naples - The eruption of Mount

The same phenomenon is occurring
at Stromboh. The high cone of the

also taking place in Mount Etna, and
