OSBORN TELLS OF
KENOSHA PLAN
Tells Racine Forum How
and Why of Kenosha's
Government.
POINTS TO PROGRESS

What the city manager form of
government has meant to the city of
Kenosha was the subject of an inter.
esting address before the Racine
Forum by City Manager G. M. Osborn
of Kenosha in that city on Tuesday.
Osborn was invited to address the
forum of representative citizens at
Racine to explain certain features of
the form of government Kenosha en-
joys, and to offer concrete evidence
that the city's prosperous condition
at this time in the matter of per
capita cost of government is one of
which any community would be proud.
eve are trying to impress upon the
citizens of the city of Kenosha that
we are endeavoring to operate the
city government honestly and eco
nomically," declared Osborn. We have
taken great pains to install efficient
business methods in every municipal
department, and we find our greatest
savings come about through this ar
rangement."
The city manager showed how close
IL the work in the several departments
is being watched. He said that in the
last three years the city has paved %
miles of streets. One contractor who
has paved about 40 per cent Of the
concrete streets was supposed to use
61,547 sacks of cement whereas the
check on him showed he had actually
used 62,16O or SIS more sacks than he
was required. On curb and gutter he
used 10. more sacks than was required.
Another contractor used total of "a
more sacks than he was required.
The biggest thing done in Kenosha
under the city manager form of gov
eminent according to Mr.. Osborn was
the zcning regulation. He said that
the organization of the city plan was
effected two years ago and that a city
plan commission adopted an active
plan and hired city planner. The
zoning regulation, he said, is working
out we'll and under it residences have
been placed where they belong, store
buildings have been placed where
they belong and likewise the manu-
featuring institutions. "You can now
buy residence property in Kenosha,"
said he, "and feel certain that no store
building will be constructed on a va
cant lot adjoining. A residence must
be built there. This is the outstand-
ing thing the city manager form has
done for Kenosha."
Mr. Osborn showed how savings
have resulted in insuring city owned
automobiles. Reductions have been
obtained from S26.05 to $13.04. Similar
savings have resulted in the purchase
of material used by the various de-
partments. Mr.. Osborn showed that
the city manager from of government
has grown in this country uuti1 To-
day $40 cities are using it.

TWO INJURED
in AUTO CRASH
Justice Charles Carlson
and Ted SOrensen Hurt
In Auto Accident.
CAR IS DEMOLISHED

Charles Carlson, well known justice
Of the peace OF Kenosha, and Ted Sor-
ensen, his partner in real estate
firm here, were both painfully but
probably not seriously injured this
morning about 1e o'clock when the au-
tom obile in which they were riding
was struck by a skidding North Shore
bus on the Sheridan road about three
miles south of Kenosha.
Justice Carlson received several deep
cuts and some internal injuries, but
at the Kenosha hospital, to which he
was taken after the accident, it was
declared that his injuries were not
believed to be critical. He is thought
to have suffered fractured rib. Sor-
ensen received several deep cuts on the
face and arms.
The two Kenosha men were driving
to Chicago on a business trip in Sor-
ensen's car with the latter at the
wheel. AS they passed a North Shore
bus, going north. the latter hit rut
in the ice on the highway and skidded
into the Sorensen car, forcing it into
the ditch. The bus was stopped quick
ly, no injury resulting to any Of its
passengers.
Third Car in Crash.
A Ford touring car which was i'm
mediately behind the bus could not be
stopped by its driver in time to pre-
vent from crashing into the two cars
if he continued on the highway. The
driver Of this car, whose name could
not be learned, deliberately turned in
to the ditch to avoid crashing into the
cars. His automobile was damaged,
but neither he nor any Of the occu-
pants of his car was injured.
The Sorensen car. remained upright,
but both Justice Carlson and Mr.. Sor-
ensen were hurt by the flying glass
and badly bruised as a result Of the
impact.
Brought to the Hospital.
P. A Populorum, salesman from
Zion, reached the scene Of the accident
a few minutes after it occurred and
brought the two injured men to the
Kenosha hospital here.
The Sorensen car was badly wrecked.
Very little damage was done to the
North Shore bus.

Washington official test of the
Paris reparations agreement was be-
fore the senate foreign relations COM
mittee today, accompanied by letter
from Secretary Hughes, citing the au-
thority of the president to deal with
the settlement of claims of the United
States and its nationals, as that under
ahich the agreement was negotiated.
Conveying no details as to the nego-
tiations, the secretary in responding
yesterday with the presidents approval
to the resolution sponsored by the
senate irreconcilables, left unanswered
their informal query as to whether
and reservations had been proposed at
any time during the conversations or
negotiations at Paris by the American
delegates.
The secretary stated the United
States participated in the conference
because of the Importance of obtaining
recognition of it's claims and its par
ticipation in payments expected under
the Dawes plan. He reiterated his
former statement that the United
States is committed to no action in
case of non-payment; asserted there
was no agreement to limit American
claims, and quoted the provision ex-
pressly declaring all existing treaties
and arrangements unaffected by the
agreement.
Neither Senator Johnson, Republican
Of California, who proposed the reso-
luton, nor any other of the irrecon-
cilables has had any comment to offer
pending a thorough study of the docu-
ment transmitted,

Unknown Man Slugs Holm
Mfg. Co., Watchman
But Gets Little.
ASKED TO USE PHONE
Hits James ScalzO on Head
with Flashlight and Gets
So in Change for Work.

James Scalzo is today trying to col
lect his thoughts in an effort to un.
ravel some of the events which oc-
Cured in the Office of the Holm
Manufacturing company just before
midnight on Tuesday evening. The
particular events in which Scalzo is
most interested are those which in
volve himself and the actions Of
daring hold-up man attired in typical
railroad switchman's outfit.
Scalzo, who lives at the corner of
Fairfield and Racine avenues, is night
ing company's plant on Fairfield
| avenue. He was going the rounds of
the plant about eleven-thirty o'clock
Tuesday evening when he heard
knock on the door in the front office.
Scalzo, who is, % years old, came up
to investigate the cause of the noise
and found through the window of the
door that q man was calling to him
to let him in so that he could use the
telephone. Scalzo declared later that
the man appeared to be one of the
railroad men who were working on
switch tracks in the vicinity and he
also declared that at the time he did
not notice anything suspicious about
the actions of the man to make
him hesitate.
Asked for Cigarette.
Once admitted the unknown man did
not seem to be in hurry to use the
phone and sat down in chair in the
Office and entered into conversation
with the night watchmsp. He asked
Scalzo for a cigarette and when this
was offered, he asked for a match.
All this was conveniently in the
possession of Scalzo and was offered.
The visitor lit his cigarette and calm
| ly told Scalzo: II want your money"
| 1t took about three seconds for
the purpose Of his strange visitors
stranger visit to enter Scalzos mind
and he rushed for the telephone him
self The stranger picked up Scalzo's
! hashight on desk nearby and went
after the Waterman. just as Scalzo
was about to reach the receiver he
was struck a terrific blow just above
the left eve and was knocked down
unconscious.
Got Two Dollars In Change.
| The visitor, it was later discovered,
went through Scalzo's pockets and APP
propriated two dollars in small change,
package of cigarettes, box Of
safety matches, and left the uncon-
scious man lying on the floor with
blood gushing out of an ugly wound
over his eye.
Some time later-it seemed an age,
according to Scalzo-he regained con-
seriousness and went over to the home
Of his uncle with whom he stayed at
Fairfield and Racine avenues, where
his wound was patched up temp
porarily. He notified j. H. Holm,
president of the Holm Manufacturing
company, w. C. Holm, vice president,
and L, E. Holm, treasurer of what had
occurred and these notified the police.
But by this time the man had had
plenty opportunity to get safely away
from the scene. Scalzo gave the police
an excellent description of the man
as several stitches were being made
in the wound by physicians. The man
wore a dirty suit Of blue overalls and
brown sweater, with typical rail-
road mans cap, and gauntlets. Scalzo
says that he could easily recognize the
man if he should see him again.

Prince of Wales
Accused of Playing

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 30-There is
at least one subject of King George
who disapproves of the worldwide

This is the vicar OF the fashionable
church of st. Martins in the fields

this popularity has been obtained
AT the cost Of loss Of dignity for
the Prince. He has been playing

I'VE can imagine members of the
old nobility holding such view
but il will have no appeal for most

Prince such a good sport. Amer
