IT'S ALL POPPYCOCK.
SO Says Mr.. s1ush Regarding a Racine
Journal Article.

SO Says Mr.. slush Regarding a Racine
Journal Article.
Mathew Slush, president of the Mil
waukee, Racine & Kenosha Street
Railway company, was in the city to-
day. He stated to the NEWS man
when que toned about the article re-
published in this paper from the Ra-
cine Journal concerning an alleged
statement said to have been made by
A. W. Bishop, secretary of the COM
pany, to the effect that Kenosha would
be left out in the building of the road,
that it was all poppycock. He said he
had made no such statement to the
paper and Mr.. Bishop had not been in
Racine to make any such statement,
and he had serious doubts about any
one else making the statement. He
said no such statement could be made
for the reason that no action of that
nature had been taken by the COM
pany.
Mr.. Slush says he is not discouraged
about getting through Kenosha yet.
He feels that some of the officials here
think that his company does not mean
business. He proposes to goahead and
build the line and show that business
is meant and then he believes that
Kenosha will be more favoroble to the
project. He says the company is not
in the habit of laying down at every
little Encouragement and intimates
that he will yet be heard from effect
lively.
