to encourage its use in the county.

acre Corn, for example will show an

Newspapers Show
Interest i'm Roads
National Highways Exhibit Features
1852 Pins on Road Map on Ex-
hibit at Chicago Show.

In the National Highways exhibit
at the great road exposition at the
Coliseum, Chicago. this week, is a
great map of the United States, in
which 1859 red-headed pins have been
driven, indicating the location of that
number of newspapers of the 1S,3SS
daily and weekly papers of the United
States which have accepted News
paper association membership in the
National Highways association and
are in receipt of, and publishing from
time to time, the roads news the asso-
citation sends to its members.
The map must be seen to appreciate
the thorough way in which this great
educational campaign is being carried
on by the newspapers of the United
States, more than half of which are
so progressive and so interested in the
transportation problem which affects
in one way or another every one of
their readers, that they contribute of
their valuable space to the cause of
good roads everywhere.
AS is natural, the pins in the map
are thickest in the extreme East and
Middle Eastern States, and thinnest
in the far West, where towns are
more widely scattered and newspapers
are fewer. Certain parts of the West,
however, notably the immediate vicin-
ity of San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Portland and Seattle, are so thick
with pins that the map is completely
hidden from view
N.rsR
association exhibit, in the Coliseum
express themselves as amazed at the
amount of effort being put into the
cause by the newspapers, as we'll as
much pride and satisfaction when
their own particular home paper is
found to be represented upon the map.

35-FOOT FALL
MAY COST LIFE
Joe MOleski of Bristol In
jured When Ice Slide
Gives Way.
SKULL is FRACTURED

Joseph Moleski, SO years old, of Bris-
toll is in a critical condition at the
Kenosha hospital. He has fracture
of the skull, above and below the left
eye, in addition to severe bruises.
He was injured late Saturday after
neon when a steel casting, support
Ing the center of 60-foot span of a
waste ice slide, snapped while the slide
was 35 feet in air. The accident oc-
Cured at the L. C. Tewes ice house
just east of Paddock's Lake, IL miles
west of Kenosha. Moleski, who was
standing near one end of the chute,
spendicular chute crashing into a pile
Of car-loading slides.
Fred Moleski, brother, and Walter
Shotton, of Salem, who were also on
the slide at the time, CHANGED to be
near guide r pes to which they chung
until they could be rescued. Shotton
was in the middle of the span, while
Fred Moleski, was standing on the
other end.
Rushed to Hospital.
Fred Schmalfeldt, superintendent of
the ice house, Immediately summoned
DR.. W. M. Fletcher from Bristol, and
the Hansen ambulance from Kenosha.
The physician arrived 10 minutes ahead
of the ambulance and dressed the in
juries of the man, who crazed by
pain, was out Of his head.
DR.. George L. Ross, of Kenosha, was
called to the hospital and made a fur
tier examination. He found that
while the bone on either side of the
left eye had been caved in from the
force of the fall, the eyeball had not
sustained serious injury.
Fear that complications may set in
which will cause death, was expressed
today by DIR. Ross. Menengitis, the
physician said, is the gravest danger
which Moleski now faces. Tuesday will
probably determine whether the man
will live or tie.
Accident Due to Cold.
Mr.. Schmalfeldt expressed the be-
lief that the accident was caused by
the cold weather which made the steel
in the central casting brittle, and al
lowed it to snap when strain was plac
ed upon it. The waste slide, he said,
was being lowered to the bottom of
the ice house, to the same level with
the galley upon which the blocks of
ice are run into the building.
When a cake of ice breaks while
being placed in the house, it is car
ried to the dump over the waste slide,
which runs across the spur tracks of
the Kenosha division of the North
western road. As the level of the ice
in the building is raised, the slides
GO UP, until the building is full. There
they are left, out of the way, during
the summer months to be lowered
again when the house is being made
ready for filling.
Ice on the lake was tested Saturday
morning and found to have frozen to
depth ranging from IL to Is inches
1t was then decided to lower the slides
and get ready for cutting as soon as
the cold snap lifted. The three men
who were on the slide at the time the
casting snapped are regular employees
o fthe company.

TEARS BUTTONS
FROM COPS COAT
Schaeffer Likes Police But
tons and Does it Every
Opportunity.
A REGULAR OFFENDER

William Schaeffer likes two things,
silver moonshine and gold buttons
from policeman's coat. He has been
arrested number of times by the
police on the charge of intoxication,
and this morning Judge Slater prom
ised ethat if he came in again he would
be given steady home possibly for
a time in the state prison, or else
the county Jail.
Schaeffer was causing a disturbance
at Polonia hall Sunday night by ca
vorting about in drunken way, and
was arrested by Police officer Wander.
wahl. Schaeffer struggled with him,
and Selling the buttons from the blue
coat, tore them off together with pieces
of cloth. The officer could easily have
given the man a blow with his club
but would not go to extreme measures
Instructions from headquarters have
been that force shall not be used
especially in the form of club or
gun, except when there is no other
way of handling a prisoner.
On another occasion Schaeffer tore
the buttons off the coat of officer
Fenske when the latter arrested him
He was then compelled to pay for the
tailor's bill, and this morning Judge
Slater placed him under bonds of $50
until he has paid for Vanderwahl's
repair bill, after which he will be
sentenced.
On January IS, Schaeffer was ar
rested by Officers Ohmstead and Nc
Givern. He had then just gotten out
of jail after serving ten days on
charge of drunkenness, and when ar.
rested was celebrating his release by
falling all over the street at the in
tersection of Strong street and Free
mont avenue, too intoxicated to navi-
gate.

Emil Langenbach Has Real
Surprise Waiting for
Him at Hearing.
GOING TO BE NOW
Went to Testify for a Friend
, Only tp Learn that He Had
to Take Out Papers.

Emil Langenbach, 7G0 Huron street,
had real surprise waiting for him
when he went to a naturalization
hearing to testify for friend to en-
able the latter to become a citizen
of the United States.
Langenbach had always been under
the impression that he was citizen
but as the hearing proceeded he dis
covered that this was not the fact and
that he was in much the same status
as the friend whom he had come to
help.
And so today Langenbach was back
in the county court room at another
hearing which will clear up the en-
tire situation and soon he will again
be a bonafde citizen of the United
States.
Here is the Tanglc.
Langenbach was q child of four
when he came with his parents to Ke-
nosha. His father had taken out only
first papers in the belief that he had
thereby become full .aedged Ameri-
can citizen and his sen believed be-
cause Of this that he also was citi-
zen Consequently young I4angenbach
had never given the question of citi-
zenship Il second thought. He had
been educated in Keuosha schools and
has grown up in the belief he is citi-
zen. Consequently he had voted and
accepted the privileges and duties OF
citizenship as matter Of course.
"My brother was in the army and
no question was raised aDout his citi-
zenship" he explained, and that gave
ME all the more reason to believe
that there was no flaw in my claim.
Now, l want to get it Strengthened out
without any question"
A Fairly Common Error.
The hearing was held beiore Nat
uralization aESaminer Woolford ".
Virgins, being one OF several cases
to be heard today.
1t is said that cases similar to that
If Langenbach are not uncommo on.
RED the father taken out full citizen
ship papers the children would have
automatically become citizens. Since
young Langenbach acted in good faith
he comes under a special ruling and
will be able to secure papers with
out the years of waiting necessary in
the ordinary hearings.
1t is believed that there are other
cases similar to that Of Langenbach
in Kenosha and those who have any
question in their mind regarding their
citizenship are advised to get into
communication with the clerk of the
circuit court in order that this may be
Strengthened out as quickly as possible.
