EAT MUSHROOMS
IA ARE POISONED
Happy Reunion of Three
Families at Milwaukee
Becomes Tragedy.
FOUR FROM KENOSHA
Victims Are Rushed to Hos
pital and All Save One
Are Out of Danger.

-Four Kenosha persons were among
Ia members of three families poisoned
by mushrooms at Milwaukee Sunday,
after partaking of sumptuous dinner
at family reunion, calculated to be
joyous occasion, but temporarily at
least, turned almost to tragedy.
The victims from Kenosha were:
August Miller, 81.
Mrs. August Miller.
Irene Miller.
Herbert Schoenborn.
Treated at Hospital.
The remaining seven persons poi
soned were members Of two other Mil
Ter families residing in Milwaukee.
All the victims were taken to Emerg-
ency hospital in Milwaukee and treated
for poison. Stomach pumps were
brought into use, and last night all
save one were declared to be out
Of danger.
Adolph Miller, who had gathered the
mushrooms and the man at whose
home the dinner was eaten, proved to
be the most seriously stricken. He
was kept at the hospital under care
of physicians, and his condition was
last night said to be serious.
Six Milwaukeeans poisoned worst
were: Adolph- Miller, %, GIT Dousman
street; Otto Miller, 6, and Mrs Lydia
Miller of the same address; Adolph
Schoenborn, Marvin Schoenborn and
Mrs. Ella Schoeborn, 662 Newell street.
The mushrooms were gathered dur
ing an expedition into the woods
southwest of Milwaukee by Adolph
Miller yesterday morning.
Three Families In Reunion.
There was a reunion of relatives
at the Adolph Miller home. Mr.. Mil
Ter, his son and brother went on the
mushroom hunt and found about a
quart of them in the woods. They
were taken home and prepared imme-
diately for lunch.
Most of the mushrooms gathered, it
was believed, were of the edible
variety. A few, apparently, were
poisonous. Mrs. Miller said slice of
onion had been boiled with the mush-
rooms It is a test by which many
chefs determine whether mushrooms
are safe. The onion was not discol-
cred and it was taken for granted
consequently that the mushrooms
were safe.
Each person ate about six. There
were no immediate i'll effects but
about an hour after lunch the chill
dren became sick. A little later their
parents, too, became i'll. Friends who
came to the Miller home after lunch
notified the police.
The Ia persons were taken to >the
hospital in police ambulance and a
patrol wagon.

the police force, when on Thursday
evening the latter was injured in a
collision between his motorcycle and
Frechette's car. Mitchell sustained a
broken leg.
Attorney A. M. Ames appeared for

say, either while he was arraigned
before Judge Slater or later in the
sheriff's office when he was taken to
cell by Turnkey Willems to await
the arrangement of his bonds.
Policeman Badly Hurt.
Policeman Mitchell, who lives at $40
South Rowland avenue, was riding a
motorcycle west on Salem avenue, and
had just crossed Newell street, when
Frechette, who was driving Ford
touring car just ahead of him, swung
suddenly to the left to gas station
on the opposite side of the street.
The motorcycle officer was UMPIRE
pared for the move; he was cut off
and forced to run into the Ford.
Coroner Joseph Friend CHANGED to
be a witness of the accident and he
fastened to the assistance of the Of
fcet, answering to the significance Of
his last name, rather than of his prefix
and title, "as friend indeed"
The policeman was taken to St
GATHERINGS hospital. The weight OF
the 400 pound motorcycle coming down
upon him had broken his left leg just
above the ankle.

give his name and address as is re-
|squired under state Law in such case.
Frechette was arrested later at 1880
O'Clock Friday evening and this morn
ing was brought into court by Police
Captain Clausen. The mans attorney
asked for a moderate bond in the case,
but Judge Slater said that the charge
was so serious a one that he could
not minimize it.
SIN cases where there have been
convictions on this charge / have
given a fine of $780," said Judge
Slater. "Of course I do not know
about the outcome or the merits of
this particular case, but / can not
look lightly upon the charge. Bonds
will be liked at $780,"
Frechette was taken over to the
county Jail, but bonds will be per-
Lfected sometime during the day, his
attorney said.

Racine Gets En- Strong.
The city of Racine is contemplat-
ing similar campaign. And up there
Chief Of Police Baker has issued a
warning making it almost obligatory
for all automobile owners to keep
their brakes in good condition. A
group of motorcycle policemen sta
ton themselves on a selected street
any day, not scheduled days, but any
day, and proceed to test untagged
cars for their brakes. If in good
shape, the driver is given a dated
police card of one color; if they fail
to measure up to the standards pre-
scribed by the test practice there is
another card issued with instructions
to repair at once. If these instruc-
lions are not needed, fine is indi-
Gated.
Whether the Kenosha police depart
ment will take as drastic measures
has not been indicated but Chief of
Police Trad Logan, who is chairman of
the Safety council committee which
is inaugurating the inspection here,
declares that something must be done
to eliminate the dangerous motor car
on the highways and streets Of the
city. He pointed to the recent acct
dents in Kenosha, in one of which the
life Of a four-year-old child was
snuffed out, and this, he said, is what
must be avoided for the future.
The Safety council committee, Of
which Leon Scott and Peter Hurtgen
are also members, will announce on
Tuesday on what streets the brake
tests will be held and during what
hours. 1t is empathically made clear
that there is no charge to anyone for
the tie. =. and the entire affair is
sponsored merely from the standpoint
Of safety.
