County Republicans to
Name Candidate.
MEET AT LAKE GENEVA

Kenosha county's political pot began
simmering again today when a call
reached this city for Republicans OF
this state senatorial district to meet
in a convention on next Saturday at
Lake Geneva for the purpose OF noml-
mating a candidate to seek the office
of state senator on the Republican
ticket at the next regular election.
The convention is to be similar to
the one held recently at Elkhorn at
which time charles Pfennig of Keno
sha was named to seek the Republican
nomination for congressman from
this district.
Only two counties, however, are in
cluded in the district to be represent
ed by a state senator, These two
counties are Walworth and Kenosha,
and copies of the call have been sent
broadcast through the county, The
call is signed by the same persons who
called the former convention.
An Adjourned Meeting.
At the former district convention a
caucus of the Republicans from Wal
worth and Kenosha counties was held,
but no definite action reached. 1t was
agreed at that time that a more form
al call should be sounded and the men
named to issue that call.
The call for the convention is self
explanatory 1t reads as follows;
: Senatorial Conference.
To the Republicans Of the 22nd
Senatorial district.
The meeting of the conference of
the Republican electors of the 22nd
Senatorial district, comprising the
counties of Kenosha and Walworth;
held in Elkhorn, May 10, for the pur-
pose of suggesting candidate for
state senator, and which conference
was adjourned to later date; now,
therefore;
Notice is hereby given, that said adj
journed meeting of said conference
will be held at Lake Geneva, Saturday,
May "a, 1924, at 300 o'clock in the
afternoon at the Hotel Geneva.
The basis of representation will be
determined by the voters at the meet
ing and large attendance of Re-
publicans from throughout the dis
trict is desired. The selection of a
candidate for state senator is of vital
Importance and in order that a true
expression may be obtained at this
conference, it is hoped that every pre-
cinct in the district will be repre-
scented.
Respectfully,
R. S. Young, chairman,
Grant D. Harrington, secretary.

COMPANY SEEKS
FARE INCREASE
Street Car Company Asks
for Increase in Fares
In Racine.
MAY AFFECT KENOSHA

Reports which were current in Ke-
nosha last week to the effect that the
Milwaukee Electric Light and Power
company, operating the street car
lines in Racine and Kenosha, was
seeking an increase in fares, We're
confirmed today when formal appli-
cation was filed with the state railroad
commission at Madison by the COM
pany, asking for an increase for the
city of Racine. No mention was made
regarding Kenosha, but it is anticipat-
ed that any increase made in Racine
street car fares nights be followed by
a similar increase in Kenosha.
The company claims in its applica-
ton that the existing seven cent fare
is unreasonable and not consistory.
Asks for an Investigation.
The company asks the commission
to make a. complete investigation of
the financial status of the company
and Of the operating costs of the
street railway line in Racine to sub
stantiate its request for an increase in
rates. Such an audit would take sew
eral months and it will be some time
before the commission will be called to
act definitely on the application.
Even should the application for an
increase in fares in Racine be granted,
it would require another application
and subsequent delay before a SINH
lar increase could be made effective
in Kenosha.

CAR SNAGS ON
ROAD SHOULDER
L. A. Hill, Engineer, and
E. Erdman, Ia, Have
Miraculous Escape.
BOYS BACK Is CUT
Winter Top Saves Their Lives
When Car Plunges Off
Burlington Road.

L. A. Hill, engineer Of the Hill Line
steamer, Waukegan, and Edwin Erd-
man, ID years old, narrowly escaped
death shortly before 9 o'clock this
morning when the automobile in
which they were riding skidded from
the pavement and turned turtle on the
Burlington road, two blocks east OF
Rowland avenue.
y A glass enclosed winter top is said
to be responsible for saving their lives.
The top, built of stout material, kept
the weight of the car from crushing
them to death.
/ Young Erdman's back was cut by
broken glass as he wriggled through
a window. Hill was pinned beneath
the wreckage, and several minutes
elapsed before the boy was able to
move the car sufficiently to free the
older mans arm. DR.. B. J. Schwartz
was called to the Hill home on Fair
field avenue and took several stitches
in the lads back. He also treated
Hills bruised arm.
According to the story told by Mr..
Hill, he, accompanied by Erdman, a
nephew, had been to town attending
to some business early this morning.
They started home shortly before nine
o'clock
They were driving about 25 miles
an hour, when the car skidded off the
wet pavement. In attempting to pull
it back on the road the front wheels
caught against the shoulder of the
pavement Hill gave the wheel hard
pull and the front wheels jumped back
on the road, but before he could right
it up again, the car had swerved to
the opposite side of the pavement,
where it collided with a mail box.
The force of the smash was suffici-
ent to throw it out of control, and
plunging into the ditch it turned bot
tom side up. Mr.. Hill said that if it
had not been for the winter top, the
weight Of the machine would probably
have crushed them both to death. AS
it was, the top was wrecked, but held
sufficiently to leave space for their
bodies.
Hill attempted to free himself but
found that his right arm was pinned
beneath the wreckage in such man
-ner that he could not extricate it.
Erdman had Jared better. In three
or four minutes he managed to pick
out enough glass from one of the win
dows to allow him to escape from I'M
der the machine. 1t was while get
ting through the small hole, that a
Jagged piece of glass, which he had
not noticed when he started through.
slashed his black.
The lad then pushed the car sufici-
emily to free his uncle's arm. Togeth-
err they managed to get one of the
doors open to allow the larger man to
get out from under.
The machine was later moved to the
Strecht garage where it will be re-
paired. The damage to the car is es-
timated at about $500.
