NAME WILL BE
DAYTON HOTEL
Stockholders Adopt Day
ton Hotel' as Name for
New Building.
WORK STARTED TODAY


Steps leading to the erection of d
modern hotel in Kenosha on the site
recently purchased at the southeast
corner of Main and South Streets
were taken Monday evening at an en-
thusiastic meeting of the stockholders
of the company held on the third floor
of the building located at 305 M I'm
street. A name was adopted, officers
and directors were named, the an
nouncemeft made that the contract for
the building had been let and the
plans for a seven-story hotel, which
might be later increased to an eight
story structure, were adopted and en-
dorsed
AS a result of the meeting work
was started this morning in clearing
the site and actual construction work
will be under way within a very few
days.
Named Dayton Hotel.
The stockholders, almost unani-
mously, voted to name the new hotei
'sThe Dayton Hotel" this being in
recognition of the untiring work of
Edward and Fred Dayton in pioneer
ing the hotel project. Another name
suggested was the Gateway Hotel,'
which was the second choice.
There were more than forty stock
holders present at the meeting with
all of the stock represented either by
the holders or by their proxies. The
election of directors and officers re-
suited as follows: President, Jacob
Gottlieb; vice-president, Joseph A.
Pitts; treasurer, N. j. Werner; secre-
tary, Edward Dayton; directors, Jacob
Gottlieb, Thomas Hansen, Joseph Pitts,
N. J. Werner and Edward Dayton.
Plans Are Approved.
Plans for the hotel as drawn by W.
Scott Armstrong, ,of Chicago, the ar
chitect, and Kenneth Whyte, of Ke-
nosha, associate architect, were en-
Enthusiastically endorsed by the stock
holders. These plans are for the
building Of beautiful 100-roon1 no
tel, eighty per cent Of the rooms be-
ing with bath and showers and with
every modern convenience. The plan
calls for a seven-story structure which
will probably be increased to eight
stories, as the underground will be
for the larger amount.
The building will be a beautiful
brick structure with entrances both
on Main and South streets, with a
lobby and mezzani1e floor and with
every convenience of modern hotel
There will be coffee room and a
kitchen adjoining for the patrons OF
the hotel and the public at large.
Contract is Let.
The contract for the building has
been let to the Christensen Construc-
tion company, of Chicago, builders Of
many large structures in that city and
recently of the Arcade building in Ra-
cine. The total contract price for the
seven-story structure was in the neigh
borhood of $350,000 The contractor
and his crew are in Kenosha this
morning and will start active construc-
tion work today.
The meeting showed that there was
real interest in the project in Ke-
nosha and gave real reason to believe
that Kenosha's new hotel dream is
about to be realized.

WORLD FLIGHT HALTED
BY FOGGY WEATHER
Army Filters Decide to Wait Until
Tomorrow for Hop to Omaha
From Chicago.

United States Air Mail Field, May
wood, Ill. The 440-mile hop to
Omaha, the next stage of the flight
for the around the-world fiers, was
postponed until 8 a. m. central stand
ard time tomorrow, when at 1851 a.
m. today Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith,
commanding, decided the weather con-
ditions were too inclement to continue
today.
Lieutenant Smith said. "Bue we would
Lieutenant Smith said" But we would
rather be disappointed than sorry.
Despite reports of fair weather west,
the area Immediately surrounding
Chicago is too foggy to. try and fly
through it. We would dislike to have
a forced landing even in good wealth
er but more so in this kind"
Lieutenant Smith previously had TAX
en- up his perch atop the main hangar
Of the field, where he had been doing
his own weather observing. The re-
port of the air mail scout served to
further convince him that it was not
wise to attempt the flight.

"My wife had been brought up in a
home where there was plenty of
money" said Caldwell, "and she
couldn't see why l couldn't furnish it
to the degree to which she had been
accustomed. AS soon as she inherited
money from her father after his death
and the estate had been settled she
disappeared. That was in November,

ing her home with our daughter in
Hannibal, Mo-, and l learned through
my son who is in Atlanta, Georgia,
that my wife wanted me to get dl-
vorce."

FOUND DRIVING
ANOTHER'S CAR
Arthur Willis, Colored,
Tries to Explain His
Predicament.
MAY HAVE BEEN DRUNK

Arthur Willis, colored, whose name
is not unknown in Kenosha police
circles, found himself in another en-
barrassing perdicament late Tuesday
afternoon when he was found driving
a Ford coupe, the property of Will
liam Engelhardt, which car had dis
appeared less than a half hour before
from where it was parked on Brockett
street.
Willis, driving the car in a strange
manner, was found it in on Westcoti
street, several squares from the place
where it had been parked. AS a result he
was arraigned in the municipal court
this morning on a charge of grand
larceny and bound over for prelim-
mary hearing on September 18th
His bonds we're set at $500.
Drove Car Strangely.
Wills aroused the suspicious of ped
estrians on Westcott street when he
persisted in driving the coupe in ques-
tion in low as if he knew little about
how it was operated. The police were
notified with a result that officers
McC4uskey, Buchanan and Larsen were
detailed to investigate.
The police report declares that Will
lis had probably been drinking and
that he admitted that he knew moth
ing about operating the car. The
coupe was returned to its owner and
Willis held to answer charge Of
larceny.
This morning he maintained that he
thought the automobile belonged to a
neighbor and that he was just Borrow
ing it. His friends declared he did
not know how to drive car and that
it was because of this that the cal
