Endorse 7-Member School
Board and Remaining
of Streets.
PUT BEFORE PEOPLE
Committees of Civic Council
Will Place New Plans Before
People for Early Action.

Endorsing two important municipal
projects brought before it for action,
the Kenosha Civic council at its meet
ing at the city hall on Monday even
ing decided to take up the matter of
seven member school board for Ke-
knosha and also consider the remaining
of streets of the city. The former
project was suggested to the Civic
council by George Cook, member Of
the board of education, and the latter
plan was brought before the council
with the recommendation that that
body take it before the people by
Floyd Carlson for the American
Legion.
With their action on Monday even
ing the Civic council has taken upon
its shoulders an attempt to solve two
more vital civic problems and immedi-
ate action on the work for both was
promised. A committee will be select
ed by President Oscar Theleen to work
with committee from the school
board on arriving at plan which the
council will then place before the
people. The usual procedure of a
petition will then be taken with view
of getting enough signers so that a
referendum can be held in the very
near future and an expression from
the people be heard.
Favor New Street Names.
Floyd Carlson also presented the
resolution of the American Legion
Civic committee asking the council to
appoint a committee to work with the
Legion committee and help put over
plan for remaining all Of the city
streets and providing new system
of numbering for these streets. The
Legion in its report recommended a
plan which has been found best after
long study. The details of this plan
were announced at the time the plan
was first adopted by the Legion.
It was the concensus of opinion of
most ~of the members of the Civic
council that these two problems were
so vital in nature that it behooved
the entire organization to take hand.
When the two committees report at a
future meeting each delegate to the
council will be asked to take the mat
ter home to his particular organization
and in that way reach the greatest
uuHDSA VI PCAOOAS 0AASNS@J NSAASCAASo'
Work for Referendums.
George Cook, in presenting the mat
ter of the new school board, outlined
the three possible plans which the
ostatutes provide for the organization
Of the affairs of the public schools.
There is. the present plan whereby
two members are elessed from each
ward of the city; the plan of which
the city council takes over the affairs
and management of the schools; and
the suggested plaza board of seven
members elected from the city at
large. A survey conducted by the
school board committee showed that
the maj GRITTY of lot cities in Kenosha's
class had adopted the seven-member
board idea, and in none of these has
there been any change since the orig
inal move.
Mr. Cook pointed out that the school
board itself is "sold" on the idea and
at their meeting in the administration
building this evening they will make
formal request of the city council to
help them "sell" the people of the
city preparatory to referendum.

RUNAWAY BOYS
CAUGHT HERE
Police Detectives Get Alex
Lemanski and Pal on
Arrival Here.
WALKED THIRTY MILES

When they had been in Kenosha. only
ten minutes and before they had sue
ceeded in getting out of their indus
trial school uniform into some stolen
Mexican togs, Alex Lemanski, IL
found himself in the hands Of the
police together with his pal, Emil
Konigenick, Is, of 259 Mineral street,
Milwaukee.
The boys were arrested as runawayS
from the industrial school when found
at Lemanski's home, 81 North Pleasant
street, at nine o'clock this morning.
They had just blown in"
Two of Eleven Boys.
The youths are two of eleven rum
away boys from the Wisconsin Indus
trial school who skipped" one day
last week. The two had barely got
ten into Kenosha when they we're
picked up by Detective McCluskey,
Sergeant Meissner and Lieutenant Rock
of the police department, and taken
down to the city lookup.
Alex said that he and his com
panion had jumped freight train of
the 500 line near Waukesha and rid
den as far Is Burlington. Then they
had gotten out and walked to Milwau-
kee They covered thirty miles on
foot on Monday.
Kenosha was their objective; they
expected to get to the Lemanski home,
have breakfast, change their clothes
and then depart for other adventures.
They had the outfits of two Mexican
laborers to change into. These togs
the boys had stolen from box car
while Graded on the freight. Both
Alex and his companion will be re-
turned to the industrial school when
officials from the institution arrive
for them.
Through the two runaways of today
the police learned what had happened
to Ralph Kupferschmidt. Ralph was
sent to the state industrial school for
boys, ran away and was arrested near
Deerfeld caught with stolen car
and returned again to Waukesha. He
then ran away second time.
"Ralph was arrested the second time
at st. Louis" one of the boys told
Lieut., Rock. "Then he was sentenced
to five years in the Green Bay re-
formatory."
The experience of Kupferschmidt did
not seem to act as a deterrent on the
other two, who averred that If they
got the chance they would run away
again"

Joseph Stiegel Killed Mon
day at 7:10 p. m. at
Train Crossing.
DODGED UNDER GATES
Man Waited for Freight to
Pass Then Stepped into Path
of a Passenger Train.

Too impatient to wait until the gates
had been lifted, Joseph Spelinski, 419
N. Edward street, an employee of the
Nash Motors company, met his instant
death at the Elizabeth street crossing
of the Chicago and North Western
railroad, Monday at 7:10 p. m, when
he lodged under the gates and stepped
into the path of the northbound pas
senger train due at Kenosha at 1912.
Spelinski was carried about 100 yards
from the crossing where his mangled
body was found lying between the
north and the south-bound tracks.
Spelinski and another man were
standing on the north side of Eliza
beth street on the west side of the
tracks waiting for a freight train to
clear the crossing just before the
accident. The gates were down, &C
cordling to number of witnesses.
Freight Passes; Men Cross.
Just as the freight, which was south
bound passed, the men fastened UNI
der the gates and ran across going
east. The northbound passenger train
was just then hard upon the crossing.
lie OHG Uldn GSCdQCO
His hat was seen bobbing up into the
air, but with bound more like the
spring of an animal than of a man, he
had cleared the tracks.
The other man Spelinski, was moved
down. The train came to halt, and
the police department were notified.
Officers Ambelang and Reynolds had
already reached the scene when the
police ambulance with Officers Tusler
and Fenske in charge drove up. The
patrolmen and railroad men had To-
Gated the body of the victim 100 yards
away, the head fattened like a pan
cake. The body was taken at the di-
rection of Coroner Joseph Friend, who
also responded to call, to Cardinals
undertaking establishment.
Search for Other Man.
The police officers and railroad men
searched along the tracks for cou-
pie of hundred yards north and south
of the crossing looking for the body Of
the other man in case he had not clear
ed the crossing. He was not found,
nor did he return to join the inquir-
ing crowd that collected around the
fagman's shanty.
Three boys who were witnesses of
the accident told their story to the po-
lice. They were Vincent Fox, 58l West
street; John Rybar, Bond and Eliza
beth streets, and Philip Sanders, $40
Dayton street. Vincent Fox said that
the gates were down, and that two men
crossed under the gates going east.
He could see one struck by the pas
senger train, which was not visible
until a second or two after the freight
had gone by.
The train was No. 101,> Conductor
Henry Finn. The street car fagman,
who also was q witness of the acct
dent, told practically the same story.
Frank Bruno, 865 Garden street, was
the railroad crossing fagman.
For some time neither the coroner
nor the police could ascertain the. dead
mans name. He carried no identified
ton other than his Nash check num-
Der. His name was found through the
Nash employment Office.
Spelinski carried black crepe band
on his left arm, and handkerchiefs
with mourning edge. He was single,
has brother living at 208 Rice avenue.
