BOTH INJURED
In TAXI CRASH
Wojt and KiekhOefer Seek
Damages of $4,000 from
Peter Soda.
SAY DRIVER NEGLIGENT,
Accident Happened On Sheri'
dan Road in Crash Between
Cab and Kerr Car.

Peter Soda, proprietor of the Globe
Taxi line, was named defendant today
in. two damage suits which seek to re-
cover a total of $32,275 from him as
the result Of an automobile accident
in which one of his cabs driven by
Charles Sorensen crashed into car
driven by Samuel Kerr and injuring
the two occupants in the cab.
Paul Wojt, 1881 Salem avenue, and
Henry Kiekhoefer, First street, are the
plaintiffs in the suits filed in the cir
cult court. Volt seeks $4,000 and
Kiekhoefer $10,375.
The suits arise out of an accident
ION April 18th of this year when the
two plaintiffs hired a cab driven by
Sorensen to take them to North Chi
cage. They agreed to pay $40 each for
the round trip. On the way south on
Sheridan road, the complaints allege,
Sorensen was driving Gin a negligent
manner, recklessly, and without re-
gard for other cars on the road" The
taxicab crashed into an automobile
driven by Samuel Kerr, Jr., about four
miles south of the city limits. In the
wreck Wojt suffered a fractured leg in
three places above the knee; a frac-
tured skull in two places, in the fore
head and upper part of head; his cheek
was cut in two places, leaving large
and permanent scars, according to the
complaint and his right leg has
shrunk "fully two inches and is now
that much shorter than his left leg as
a result of these injuries"
Can't Work Anymore.
The suit continues to declare that as
q result of Volts injuries he has been
unable to work and has lost his earn
Ing power. Wojt had to pay $500 for
medical fees and attention, he says,
and another $1,000 to others to conduct
his saloon at 1181 Salem avenue while
he has been incapacitated. In addition
to that sum Wojt demands $4,000 for
the mental anguish and suffering and
pain which his injuries have caused
him.
Kiekhoefer's suit is similar in its
nature. He alleges that he was thrown
from the taxicab in the crash and frac-
tured his right leg above the knee,
fractured four ribs, and has become
perm anently injured and disabled. He
seeks 1878 for medical fees, and dam
ages to the amount of $4,000, making
"a total of $10,375.
The third damage suit aied in the
circuit court today was that in which
Anna E. White and Arthur E. White,
co-partners, are being sued for $4,000
by Regina Mietla. The complaint al
ileges that the plaintiff submitted to
the Whites for treatment for cold
and that she was severely burned.

MANY THRILLS IN PICTURE.
"As No Man Has Loved" is Powerful
Version OF Hale's Epic.

"As No Man Has Loved" is Powerful
Version Of Hale's Epic.
A film based on Edward Everett
Hale's story, "The Man Without a
Country" is being shown at the But
teray theatre. 1t is "As No Man Has
Loved" which numbers among its
thrill the depletion of a storm at sea.
When "Ths Mar without Country
was first published it swept the
country like prairie fire. Men read
it and wept, and then sent copies to
friends. Thousands of copies poured
in. upon Lincoln. 1t was published
by hundreds of thousands and then
by millions.
The present version of the story is
tense with emotion and the scene OF
the storm at sea with the frigate
Essex battling the mountainous waves
while a cannon that has broken its
lashings threatens the ships destruc-
ton, is a vital one.

BURR DEFENDED
IN BANQUET TALK
Atty. Corrigan of MiIwau-
kee Gives Lecture
to Medics.
MEDICS ACT AS HOSTS

Aaron Burr was not guilty of
treason, as SO commonly believed and
so generally painted in American his
tories; he did not deliberately attempt
to murder Alexander Hamilton.
These startling statements were
made by Hon. Walter D. Corrigan,
noted Milwaukee attorney and au-
thority on disputed points in American
history, in an address before the Ke-
nosha Medical society, with members
of the Kenosha dental fraternity and
some attorneys as their guests, at
a banquet at St. GATHERINGS hospital
last evening.
Attorney Corrigan gave his famous
lecture, 'sThe Defense of Aaron Burr, !"
If which the-famous political and his
torial figure of Revolutionary days and
the days of political turmoil immedi-
ately following the war, was sketched
as a patriot, a soldier, square
dealing politician, traduced by his
political enemies and maligned by
uniformed historians.
Calls Duel Justified.
Backed by exhaustive historical re-
search and voluminous reading of
memoirs, the speaker showed that
Burr was not the cold, designing
murderer of Alexander Hamilton that
he has been painted, in the famous
duel at Weehawken, but rather a cul-
tured, affable, refined gentleman wholly
within his rights in those days when
it was a common, practice to settle
disputes with pistols or swords.
The famous trial of Burr for
treason at Richmond, Virginia, near
the clase of Burr's life at which
Chief Justice John Marshall pre-
sided, and jury hand-picked by
President jefferson, Burr's political
foe at the time, who each one swore
trial began, was pictured as the most
ridiculous trial of history, travesty
on American justice. Despite all the
odds against him, Burr, by his mas
terful pleading and clever presenta-
ton of his defense, won his case
and was acquitted.
Tasty Banquet Served.
The lecture of Attorney Corrigan
followed a splendid banquet in the
dining hall of ST. GATHERINGS hospital,
lastly prepared and served by the
Sisters of the hospital. The banquet
room was very prettily decorated in
Halloween style.
DR.. w. C. Stewart, president of the
Kenosha Medical society, which was
instrumental in bringing Attorney
Corrigan here for this lecture, presided
and the speaker was introduced by
Attorney Leo. E. Vaudreuil, who was
at one time a student in law under
Attorney Corrigan at the Marquette
University Law school, Milwaukee,
where Attorney Corrigan was MEM
Der of the faculty.
Expressions of appreciation to At
torney Corrigan for his Illuminating
address were given by the entire COM
pany at the close and desire on the
part OF. those who heard him, to bring
Attorney Corrigan bacNto Kenosha at
some later date to give his complete
and more extended lecture on the
same subject for the benefit of a
larger audience, was voiced by. many.

SEEK IDENTITY
OF AGED MAN
Suicide Lies in Cardinal
Morgue With No Clues
to His Identity.
WALKED INTO LAKE

An unidentified Italian, aged about
65, dressed in overalls and working
clothes, lies on slab in the Cardinal
morgue awaiting someone to come in
and identify him. The man was taken
to the morgue shortly after four
o'clock Friday afternoon after he had
committed suicide in Lake Michigan
at the foot of the South street break
water.
He had met his death through what
police and the coroner believe was a
deliberate attempt to commit suicide.
Coroner Joseph Friend has the
names of score of people who wiz
messed the mans actions. According
to the story that was pieced together
at the scene of the tragedy, the man
was seen to walk slowly to the en-
bankment at the foot of South street.
Without stopping when he reached the
water, he waded in When he reached
a point about twelve feet from shore
he was standing in water up to his
chest.
Leaned Over and Never Came Up.
Then, according to witnesses, the
man was seen to lean over a bit with
his arms extended, going through a
motion that might indicate he was GO,
ing to wash his face or his head. Then
holding his arms out to his side above
the water, he stuck his head under the
surface and rolled over. He never
came up.
A few minutes later the police and
the coroner had arrived and half
hour was spent attempting to revive
the man with the police ambulance
pulmotor.
Today there were several persons
who called at the Cardinal morgue in
an attempt to identity the dead man,
but none of these attempts were sue
cessful.
