Many Years Ago.

Milwaukee, Wis. One of the
worlds greatest inland waterway dis
asters was wildly recalled to Milwau-
keeans on Thursday, when Mrs. Mar
garet Hayes Craine, last known sur
vivor Of the Lady Elgin holocaust, was
buried in Calvary cemetery.
Mrs. Craine, who was So years old,
died recently at her Chicago residence
744 Diversey parkway. Following
funeral services at St. Sebastian
church in that city, Thursday morning,
with Bishop Hoban officiating and nine
priests in attendance, the remains
were brought to Milwaukee for in
terment.
When the i'll fated Lady Elgin sank
in Lake Michigan with the loss of
300 lives following collision with
another vessel on Sept. s, 1850, Mrs.
CRANE clambered with few other
survivors, on an improvised raft,
where she remained for more than
twelve hours before being rescued.
She and her husband, Maj. John
CRANE, We're living in Milwaukee at
that time, in the old Third ward dis
trict. Eight years later they moved
to Chicago, but, until few years ago,
the aged woman made annual pill
grimages to this city to attend the
memorial services for Lady Elgin vic
TINS held at St. Johns cathedral here
on each anniversary of the disaster.

PER CAPITA COST CUT TO $l7.3O
Maintenance Costs Per Capita Under Old Form Was
SIS as Against $17.3O in 1923 Under

Statistics, giving the first comparison
of costs Of city government in Keno
sha under the old aldermanic and the
new city manager form of government,
and showing that the costs of govern
ment maintenance have been decreased
an average of S236000 a year under
the city manager form, were made pub
lie today in a formal report prepared
by Director of Finance G. H. Laugh
lin and presented to the city council
by City Manager G. M. Osborn.
The comparison is made by taking
the figures for the year 1921, the last
year under the old aldermanic form
of government, and those for the years
1922, in April of which the city man
ager form of government was installed,
and 1923, which has been the first year
entirely under the new form and un-
der the reorganization put into effect
by it.
The report also goes into the total
expenditures for all three years show
ing that the decrease in the cost of
government maintenance have made
possible the carrying on of big pro-
jects such as the civic center project,
enormous paving programs and other
improvements, and that the total cost
has been less in each 1922 and 1923

NAME WILSON
NASH DIRECTOR
KenOsha Man Elected Di-
rector of Nash Motors at
Baltimore Plant.
GOES UP RAPIDLY

James t. Wilson has been elected a
member Of the board OF directors OF
the Nash Motors company. Word OF
this. was brought to Kenosha by W.
H. Afford on his return from the an
nuaI meeting Of the stockholders OF
the company held at Baltimore last
Wednesday. The directorate was in
creased from nine to eleven members,
Mr.. Wilson and Joseph L. Kerr Of
Baltimore being the new directors
chosen.
Mr.. Wilson, known throughout the
Nash plants and to hundreds in Ke-
nosha d as Jim" has been identified
with C. w. Nash in the automobile
and vehicle business for the past
eighteen years. He was chosen vice
president of Nash Motors three years
ago, and under the direction of Mr..
Nash he has had charge of produc-
ton at both the Nash Six and Nash
Four plants for some time past. Since
last October, Mr.. Wilson has divided
his time equally between the Kenosha
and Milwaukee factories of The Nash
Motors company.
Active in KenOsha Work.
In the eight years Mr.. Wilson has
lived in Kenosha he has been an ac-
tive leader in many civic and social
projects. He has served as president
of the Rotary club, president of the
Kenosha Country club, member of the
board of directors Of Kenosha lodge Of
Elks, and has been identified active
ly with other organizations.
Eighteen years ago when Mr.. Nash
was in charge of the Durant- bort Car
riage company, then one of the largest
vehicle factories in the world, Jim
Wilson, just out of school, was en-
ployed by him. Every day of those
eighteen years has been spent in
close association with Mr.. Nash. There
is no detail in the manufacture of mo-
tor cars with which Mr.. Wilson is not
familiar. Like Mr.. Nash, he started
his business career on the bottom
rung of the ladder and in the long
climb upward he took advantage of
every opportunity to familiarize him
self with every phase of the business.
When Mr. Nash in 1910 accepted the
presidency of large automobile
manufacturing company he soon sent
for Jim" Wilson and six years later,
after resigning as president of the
General Motors company to establish
the Nah Motors company, Mr.. Nash
took Mr. Wilson with him to Kenosha
as assistant manager of the company.

Want City Schools
Opened to Them
Residents in District Recently An
nexed Ask Council to Open
City Schools to Them.

City Manager G.. M. Osborn received
a petition this morning from residents
living south of Selma avenue IN DIS
trict recently annexed to the city ask
ing that the city schools be opened 60
the children from this district, now
either attending the rural school or
paying tuition to the city schools. The
petition will be referred at once to
the proper authorities. The territory
has been annexed but recently and it
has been impossible thus far to adjust
the school situation to meet the needs
of the situation. 1t is probable that
this adjustment can be made at the
opening of the new semester.
The petition follows:
Whereas, we, the undersigned resi-
dents of the city of Kenosha, having
been residents of said city since No
vember 6, 1928, living in the annexed
territory lying directly south of Sell
ma avenue, and whereas our lands and
property are assessed at city valua-
ton and whereas we shall pay real
estate, personal and school tax to the
city of Kenosha for 1924 and whereas
we have children of school age whom
we are forced to send to an over
crowded rural school and obliged to
pay tuition in the public schools of
the city and whereas the authorities
in this matter have had ample time
to act with no results Forthcoming,
now therefore, we do petition the city
manager and the city commission of
the city of Kenosha as the governing
body, to take the necessary Immediate
action to have our children admitted
and enrolled in the public schools of
Kenosha without tuition.

TAX FREE ITEMS
LISTED HERE
Don't Pay Federal Income
Tax on Items Exempted
Says Collector.
EARLY FLLERS' PROFIT

"Don't pay a federal income tax on
items which are exempt from taxa
tion," said A. w. Foster, deputy in
ternal revenue collector, at Kenosha
this morning as he made public a
statement just received from A. H.
Wilkinson, collector for the district
of Wisconsin. This statement lists
the kinds of income which are speci-
fically exempted by law. Here is the
statement:
Not infrequently taxpayers include
in their income tax returns items that
are specifically exempt from taxation.
Among these are the following:
Proceeds of life insurance policies
paid upon the death of the insured.
The value. of property acquired by
gift, bequest, devise or descent. The
income from such property, however,
is taxable
Returns of premiums on life insur-
ance, endowment, or annuity con-
tracts. Amounts received through ac-
cident or health insurance, or under
workmen's compensation acts for per-
sonal injuries or sickness, plus the
dulOuIlL VI ddlucSCo 1GCCANCbs WHCbAlGl
by suit or agreement, on account OF
such injuries or sickness.
Amounts received as compensation,
family allotments and allowances I'M
der the provisions of the war risk IN
surance and the vocational rehabili-,
tation acts.
Pensions Bonus Exempt.
Pensions from the United States for
the services of the beneficiary or an-
other in the military or naval service
in time of war.
A bonus paid by state to its resi-
dents who served in the military or
naval services during the war with
Germany.
Allowances, whether paid by the
government or a person to one who
performed no duties, as, for example,
to a widow in recognition of the serv-
ices rendered by her husband, are
considered gratuitiC3, or gifts, and are
not taxable. The rental value Of a
dwelling and appurtenances thereof
furnished minister of the gospel as
part of his compensation is exempt
from taxation.
of $500 received by individuals dur
ing the years 1922 to 1926, inclusive,
from domestic building and loan as
sociations, operated exclusively for
the purpose of making loans to it's
members, are exempt from tax.
State Salaries Exempt.
Salaries paid by state to it's Of
fers or EMPLOYEES
Tax free income need not be includ-
ed in gross income, nor need it be
mentioned in an income tax return.
Taxpayers who prepare and file their
income tax returns for the year 1923
early have a decided advantage over
procrastinators. A little time and
thought now in the preparation of a
return is excellent insurance against
errors, which result to the detriment
of taxpayer and government alike. The
filing period ends at midnight, March
Is, 1924.

TO PAY $4,000
FOR MANS DEATH
Order for Settlement Of
Claim for Udstuen Death
Signed by Court.
ROAD AGREES TO PAY

An order for the settlement of a
damage claim against the Northwestern
railroad for $4,000 in favor of the
estate of Trygve (Twig) Udstuen, who
was killed at the Elizabeth street
crossing on Saturday, November 10,
was signed by Judge R. V. Baker, in
the county COURT today.
The order was presented to the
court by Attorney Clarence j. Fisher,
who together with Attorney A. E, Lin
das, are acting for Mrs. Udstuen.
Udstuen was in the employ of At
torney Lindas's father, at the time of
the accident. Mr.. Lindas stated that it
is expected that payment will be made
by the railroad on Monday.
The settlement was made by the
railroad after a coroner's jury found
that Garrett Birmingham and Fred Am
brose, gatemen for the road, were re-
sponsible for the accident. According
to the testimony Ambrose, who was
the regular gateman, had left the
crossing in charge of Birmingham,
while he went to get drink Of water
at nearby soft DRINK parlor.
Gates Were Up.
Birmingham being unfamiliar with
the operation of the gates, failed to
note the approach of the north-bound
express until it was almost at the
crossing. He then made frantic
attempt to get the gates down, but
not in time to prevent the crash. The
truck driven by Udstuen, who was re-
turning from town for lunch, was I'M
able to stop when he saw the train.
He struck the locomotive just back
of the front drivers.
He was rushed to the Kenosha hos
pitaI where he died an hour after
the crash.
