Edward Christensen. Gets
Fractured Skull in
Strange Episode.
ANSWER WIFE'S CALL
Christensen with Joe CatOor,
His Companion, Go to
Rescue of Woman.

Ed Christensen whose home is at the
corner of Park and Newell street, is
at the Kenosha hospital today suffer-
ing from fractured skull, an injury
which he claims he received when he
went to the aid of a woman who APP
pealed to him and his companions for
protection from a drunken husband.
The incident in question occurred Sat
urday evening just after six o'clock
and a thorough investigation is being
made of the entire affair by the sher-
if and the district attorney.
Christensen was driving home from
Milwaukee with Joe CatQor, 428 Charles
street, in the latter's car on Highway
81 when the incident which led to the
injury took place. Catoor has told
officials that they heard the screams
of woman and halted their car along
the highway about two and a half
miles east of the town of Somers. They
saw a car partly in the ditch at the
side of the road.
Wife Appeals for Aid.
A woman came from the car; she
was carrying baby in her arms and
told the men that she was having
trouble with her husband who was
drunk in the car. She gave her name
as Mrs. Bowers and said that they
lived just in the rear of the cider mill
on the Somers Road. She asked that
she and the baby be taken back to the
home.
Catoor took the woman and the baby
in his car and took them to their home.
Christensen agreed to stay with the
husband and prevent him from doing
any harm either by attempting to drive
the car or otherwise.
Find Christensen in Ditch.
When Catoor returned to the scene
he found Christensen lying along the
side of the road with a big wound in
his head He was unconscious but
since that time has had periods of
consciousness at which times he de-
clared that Bower, the woman's hus-
band, pushed him off the car and csus-
ed the injury. Officials think it is
possible that Christensen may have
been struck in the head with crank
or wrench.
SHrlstIaNseH Was hurried 70 the Ne
nosha hospital where his condition is
declared to be most critical.
Meanwhile Bower has disappeared
and no trace of him can be found. A
warrant will probably be sworr. out
for his arrest late this afternoon
either on charge of driving waile
intoxicated, as alleged by the wife, or
on more serious charge of iniuring
Christensen and leaving him at the
side of the road.
Catoor appealed to the sheriff and
the district attorney and a thorough
Investigation is being made.

PRINCES FLUTTER ON NEW GOWNS

I" HERE is something peren-
nially Fascinating to women
Al about the careless grace OF
silk fringes. Perhaps it is an in
heritance from primitive days,
when wild grasses formed the mat
erial with which the eternal fem
mime gratified her desire for adj
ornment. No DOUBT the South Sea
Island craze has contributed to
keeping the fringe theme before
the designer, while the lovely
Spanish shawls have taught Amer
lean women the beauty of the
softly falling fringe border.
Be that as it may, an especially
lovely example of the use of fringe
as trimming is shown in this
elegant ensemble Of black satin de
Lyon, which is particularly APP
propriate for afternoon and the
ddnsant wear. The chic but SIM
pie dress, and the accompanying
coat are both. bordered with silk
fringes in two tiers, following a
pointed movement. The dress is
built on wrap-around or coat lines
and shows the new surpltce line
opening over lame vest. The
supple coat follows exactly the
lines of the dress beneath, and is
Tapped over and held at the side.
Regarding afternoon coats, we
learn from Henri Creange, French
fashion authority that Patou's coli
lection showed models following
the general lines, widening at the
bottom; some are in the form of
redingotes. They are in velours de
laine, velvet, fulgurante, satin and
kasha, in black, brown, beige and
bottle green. 800. Many
pIeats, often posed en- barre. A
number of coats have godets in
front, others have pleated aprons
in front or at the back shorter
than the coat. which has a narrow
fur border. In somo models tho
fur border is at tho back only:r

One Chapter of Bussewitz
Damage Suit Takes
Place Here.
KENOSHAN ON STAND.
Superintendent LOOmis Says
Plaintiffs Books Bal
anced with His. y

Kenosha had it's inning in the CON-
duct of the 100000 damage suit which
has been brought by M A. Bussewitz,
now an instructor in the Milwaukee
| Normal school, against the Wisconsin
State Teachers association and =. Z.
Doudna, it's present secretary, on FRI
day afternoon when a hearing IN con-
nection with the suit was held before
Court Commissioner Edward f. Hig-
gins at the School Administration
building. The hearing was an adverse
examination of Guy F. LOOMS, superb
intendent of the Kenosha schools, and
for many years treasurer of the Wis
consin State Teachers association, UNI
der the discovery statute to determine
for the plaintiff certain information
regarding the case.
Superintendent Loomis is not direct +
ly named in The suit, but was sum-
moned merely as an officer OF the de-
PENDENT association.
Is Interesting Case.
The case is one which is attracting
interest among teachers throughout ak
Wisconsin. Mr.. Bussewitz, the plain
tiff, was for several years secretary
of the association; upon leaving that
position he filed suit gainst the organ "
ization for certain fees which he al
legged were due him. In the cross COM
plant filed in this suit, it was alleged
that Secretary Bussewitz had slightly
overdrawn his accounts at times. AS
a result Of this statement the present
damage suit was filed against'the state
association alleging libel,
The examination here was regarding
certain accounts Of the company dur
ing the four years previous to 1919,
when Mr.. Loomis was treasurer of the
association and Mr.. Bussewitz was sec
rotary.
Says Books Balanced.
Superintendent LOOMS produced his
records to show that during that time
his accounts and these of Secretary
Bussewitz balanced. He showed how
in 1919 because of state law, the af-
fairs of the association were put UNI
der the state treasurer because a small
bonus was paid to the association on
its printing account. superintendent
Loomis therefore had no record re-
garding items in that period according
to his testimony. 1t is in this latter
period that the sums in question were
handled by officers of the company.
The testimony of Superintendent
LOOMS also showed that his figures
did not give any statement regarding
the purposes for which the money
drawn by Secretary Bussewitz was
used, this being carried on vouchers
in the hands Of other officials. -
Some Questions Ruled Out.
Attorney Kelly, representing the
plaintiff in the case, put some rather
interesting questions to the witness
regarding what he may have heard or
have thought regarding the conduct Of
the office under Mr.. Bussewitz. At
torney Villas Whaley, representing the
defendants, objected to these questions
and they were ruled out.
The Kenosha examination is one of
a series Of such hearing being held
before court commissioners through
out the state, in which present ard
past officials Of the association are
being examined regarding the pointsni
at issue in the suit

Racine Council Decides
mint Selling Devices"
Are Unlawful.
BLAME OFFICIALS TOO
Racine Council Censures Alder.
man Jensen and Chief of
Police Baker.

Slot, machines, similar to the ones
that were driven out of Kenosha sew
eral weeks ago after they had flooded
the city with mint CONNECTION and
taken many nickels away from Keno
shans. were declared to be illegal by
the Racine council after long inves-
tigation, Racine has been having
much more trouble getting rid of the
slot machines than did Kenosha, al
though here the vendors went through
the formality of test case, in which
the machines we're not found guilty of
being gambling devices.
But despite all that, the owners left
town and took their machines with
them rather than face court action
when the machines were seized here.
In Racine there has been much more
investigation after the machines were
confscated there due to the fact that
some of those who had the slot ma
chimes in operation claimed\ that they
had been told by "higher-ups" that
they would be unmolested.
What happened at Racine regarding
the machines is told in the following
account of a council meeting there
as carried in Racine newspaper.
"The lie was passed at last evening s
session of the council committee of the
whole, following the statement by
Charles Johnson, owner of the mint
slot machines seized by the police,
that he had received permission from
Mayor Armstrong to install them.
1t was the latter official who said
that Johnson's statement, made from
the spectators seats, was a lie. John
son thereupon was sworn after the
manner of regular court proceedings
oath, and again the mayor passed the
lie, telling Johnson that it was false.
Before the close of the session the
council added several censure sec
tions to the committees report adopt
ing the report as amended.
The added sections placed blame
on Alderman Charles Jensen, shown
to have delivered the machines for
Johnson, and on Chief Baker, who
gave Johnson permission to install
them upon representations made by
Johnson. The sections added to the
committees report follow:
alderman Jensen is to be censured
for using his Office to induce persons
to install the machines"
"Chief Baker is to be censured for
allowing the machines to be install
ed without first comforting with the
mayor and city attorney"
"That it be the sense Of the council
that the machines are gambling de-
vices and should not be allowed to be
operated"
