ASK $4,000 FOR
DEATH OF GIRL
Parents of Ruby FurlOni
File Damage Suit as Re
suit of ChiId's Death.
NEGLIGENCE is CLAIM

Claiming that negligence on the
part of the employees of the Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric company caused
the death of six-year-old Ruby Fur
loni, the child who was electroeuted on
April 18th when she came in contact
with live guy wire while playing tag
in front of her home on Fremont
avenue, Guido and Benedicta Furloni,
parents of the child, today filed suit
in the circuit court for $4,000 dam
ages against the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric company. The suit was filed
by Attorney John F. Kuehnl, repre-
senting the plaintiffs.
The complaint declares that the
child was killed instantly when she
came into contact with a naked and
live guy wire" which had been hang
ing from the pole for several weeks
and which constituted source Of dan
ger, which should have been remedied
had proper inspections been carried
on by the company
Shows Basis of Claim
The complaint claims that it was
the duty Of the company to see that
all wires containing electrical current
be properly insulated and so secure
ly fastened as not to come into con-
tact with the ground; it is also claim
ed that the wire in question was so
placed as to be an attraction to young
children in their lawful play on the
sidewalks. 1t also alleges negligence
on the part Of the company in failing
to make proper inspection of its wires
there, which inspection, it is alleged,
might have prevented the tragedy.
The coroner's jury after. investigat-
ing the accident held that the COM
pany was negligent in failing to safe
guard against such an accident.
Another Suit Filed.
A damage suit was also fled by
Louis F. Bidinger, through his attor-
ney, A. L. Drury, against the Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric company and
William Schwuchow, as joint defend
ants for damages to his automobile in
collision which occurred on Deem
Der 18th, 1921. It is alleged that a
truck operated by .Schwuchow crash
ed into the Bidinger automobile as it
was properly parked along Market
street and that a street car operated
by an employee Of the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric company contributed 10
the cause Of the accident by making
it almost impossible for the truck
driver to avoid striking the car.
Both suits will be heard at the next
session Of the circuit court.

FARMS BLAMED
FOR BAD GIRL
Woman Says That Lack of
Proper Entertainment
Causes Downfall.
CONCLUDE CONFERENCE

Failure of r ral communities TO
meet the demands of the younger gem
Grafton is largely responsible for the
number of girls who go wrong in big
cities, speakers declared at the Racine
Kenosha county social work conference
at Union Grove on Saturday night, the
closing of the three-day session.
"In several months spent in the
Chicago morals court" said Mrs. Eli
zabeth Crandall, Chicago, II found
that most of the girls brought in there
were from the small towns.
"The girl tires of the monotony of
farm life and goes to the city, hungry
for amusement, only too often to land
in the III orals court.
Communities owe certain things to
the youths. We have poverty and
subnormal persons, at all times, but
generally nothing is done about it.
Residents laugh at the village fools,
who are breeding like rats.
"It is the duty of the community
to provide entertainment for the young
that will meet with their demands for
something alive. The home, the school
and the church must instill taste
for good literature"
The speaker charged that farm
homes are usually devoid of the proper
reading material for the children.
Rosenberg Talks.
Justice NJ F. Rosenberg Of the Wis
consin supreme court, outlined the
need of organized effort for social
welfare, He Endorsed the Boy Scout
movement as a means Of directing
youthful energy into beneficial chan
nels."
Ceases have been found he said,
where feeble minded persons brought
forth as many as sixteen children to
go through life In misery and to add
to the burden Of the state. BY care,
we can prevent this suffering and save
the expense,
Evolution Is said to have reached
Its height. Our hope lies in the adj
vance of the entire masses. We must
find ways Of equipping unfortunate
citizens to be of value to the citizens
instead Of drawbacks"
