an infection on the face which at the
first was not regarded as serious

the two sons, Francis and Nathan AL
len, were with Mr.. Allen when the end

Telephone messages brought the an
nouncement of the death of Mr.. Al
len to Kenosha just after noon today

shock to members of the family and
personal friends.
Ill for Ten Days.
Mr.. Allen had been suffering from
the infection on the face for ten days
but it had yielded to treatment and
it was believed that he was out of
danger. The infection returned the
latter part of last week and since that
time grave fears for his recovery had
been felt Mrs. Allen had hurried to
New York the latter part of the week
when she heard Of the serious condi-
tion developing and had been continu-
ally with her husband at the hotel.
The remains will be brought back
to Kenosha for interment and an
nouncement of the time of the funeral
will be made later.
A Native of Kenosha.

nosha. He was a son of the late Nath-
an R. Allen, founder of the big tan
merry interests here. He was educat-
ed in the schools of Kenosha and lat
er at Northwestern University and af-
ter completing his work in college he
entered the business with his father
and remained active in Kenosha man
ufacturing until the property was sold
to the Central Leather company. Since
that time he had been connected with
many large organizations of business
in different parts of the country.
Surviving Mr.. Allen are his widow
Mrs. Ella Jebb Allen, his daughter,
Mrs. Robert Whitaker, and his two
sons, Francis and Nathan Allen. He

FRED CARTER Is
FOUND GUILTY
Negro Charged with Seri-
GUS Statutory Offense,
is Convicted.
JURY NOW EXCUSED

Fred Carter, colored of 161 Brockett
street, was found guilty Monday after
noon by the jury in his case, Henry
Tighe of Brighton, foreman, at the
opening of the October term of the
circuit branch of the municipal court.
The jury was out only a short time
when the verdict of guilty of being
the keeper of a house of ill-fame was
brought in.
Carter was raideda by the police, di-
rected by Assistant Chief Cyzak and
Lieut.. Rock, when a colored woman,
Neville Randolph and six white men
were found on the premises. The wo-
man turned states evidence, result
ing in the conviction of the inmates
and the keeper.
Found Guilty Again.
The verdict of guilty Of the first
and more serious charge was brought
in while Garter was being tried be-
fore another jury on another charge,
that of unlawful possession of moon
shine found during the same raid.
Judge Slater ordered that the jury
trying the second issue should be TAX
en- to another room, in order that
they would not hear the verdict in
the first case.
But the second jury also found Car
ter guilty. 1t was a day of "one hun
dred per cent" batting average for
the prosecution and police. District
Attorney Morris Barnett lead the pros
ecution assisted by Lewis Powell. At
torney Joseph Higgins represented the
defendant; the attorney was appointed
by the court.
Police Rejoice at Conviction.
eff the jury had not backed US up
with a conviction in these cases, par
ticularly on the keeper charge, we
might as well have given up" the
police said later. "Carter and his
place on Brockett street are dis
grace to city like Kenosha."
The district attorney in his sum-
ming up of the case to the jury,
pointed out the menace that such a
person as Carter was in the commun-
ity. causing a terrible condition in
the neighborhood in which there were
children, women and young men and
women growing up.
Sentence Is Deferred.
Judge Slater announced that sentence
on Carter would be pronounced some
time today.
He then dismissed the jury until
call, saying that possibly there would
be no need for the jurors services
again until some time in November.
Carter was taken back to pail.
Arthur Willis, colored, was brought
before the court. 1t was expected
that his trial would be next, but he
pleade guilty to the charge Of taking
an automobile without the owners
consent. He had first been charged
with theft of an automobile. Willis
told the judge that he did not know
how to run car, but he "fust put
down one foot, and she didn't go,
then he put down two feet, then did
something else and then she jumped"
And ne added "then I couldn't stop
her."
Sentence upon Willis was also de-
ferred.

NASH DECLARES
NEW DIVIDEND
Dividend on Preferred
Stock Declared by Nash
Motors Directors.
SHOW SOUND BUSINESS

At meeting of the directors of the
Nash Motors company Monday after
noon in New York City, President
Nash reported net income of $1,2O6,-
766.09 for the three-month period, end
ing August 31st after deducting man
ufacturing expenses, Including depre-
citation, selling and administrative ex-
penses and after further deduction for
local, state and federal taxes, accord
ing to an announcement made today
at the offices of the company in Ke-
nosha.
Dividend action was taken in the
form of quarterly dividend of $1.75
per share on the outstanding pre-
ferred stock payable November 1st,
1924, to holders of preferred stock Of
record at 500 o'clock p. m. October
goth, 1924.
Sound Business Shown.
In commenting on the business done
during this third quarter, President
Nash stated that both volume and rev.
enue were fully up to expectations in
view Of the fact that during this peri
cd production and sales naturally tap
cred off on current models to permit
the proper introduction of new mod
els August lst. With respect to flu
ture prospects, he said that every in
dication pointed to most successful
continuance of prosperous conditions
for the company.
: At the time the new models were
presented to the public, the company's
dealers had satisfactorily disposed Of
former models and were in excellent
position to launch the new models.
Great Enthusiasm Shown.
At no period in the history of thu.
company has such widespread inter-
est attended the disclosure Of new
models as greeted the Advanced Six
Series and Special Six Series and,
since August LIST, the demand for cars
has progressed so vigorously that de-
spite the greatest production ever at
tanned, the company is oversold by a
large number of cars. A healthy as
pect of the situation is the evenness
of the demand all over the country
even in districts where general bust
ness is below normal and in agricul-
tural regions, that have been expert
encing difficulties for several years,
the dealers of this company are re-
ceiving large volume of orders. 1t
is safe to say that the character of
these new models has served to place
the company and it's product in more
highly favorable light with purchasers
than ever before.
