The technical point upon which the
court ruled was that the Information

money was obtained. In similar
case the supreme court has held that
the simple charge Of larceny was
SUFFICIENT, but Judge George thought

Smaller Financial Institutions Hold a
Meeting in Chicago to Unite
for Protection.
THE FIRST NATIONAL INCLUDED.
Kenosha Bank is One of the Five wisconsin
Banks Asked to Enter Combine.-To
oppose Encroachment.

Twenty-Five country bankers, repre-
sentirg institutions with not less than
81 100000 deposits each in Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, met
at the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago
Thursday to discuss forming an asso-
citation to handle large financial prop
ositions, which none of the banks in
dividua11Y would be able to do. The
plan is to prevent the large banks of
New York and Chicago from invading
the fields of the country banks and
taking desirable bond issues. 1t is
proposed to pool their resources and
distribute the bond issues among the
members of the association. In this
way, the bankers say, local projects
can easily be financed at home, and
the good things in an investment way
which have been finding their way to
New York and other financial centers
will remain with the country banks.
It is likely, also, that the scheme,
which is said to contemplate having
general headquarters in Chicago, will
include looking carefully into the COM
mercia1 paper which is placed on the
market in this and other large cities.
1t is said country banks have suffered
to a considera bic extent from bad in
vestments in this direction.
Preliminary work only was done
Yesterday, but an advisory committee
of two members from each state was
appointed to formulate a plan of or
ganization and action. This commit
tee will submit its report at another
meeting next Tuesday at the Grand
Pacific.
Invitations to yesterdays confer
cree were sent out by James B. Will
bur, President of the Royal Trust COM
nany, which was the only Chicago in
stitution represented. Several institu-
tons which were not represented at
the meeting have indicated their ap-
prevail of the project, and it was the
opinion of those present it was certain
to materialize and prove of great bene-
fit to those interested.
The Wisconsin Banks represented at
the meeting were: The Manufacturer S
National Bank of Racine, First Ma
tiona1 Bank of Kenosha, Stephenson
National Bank of Marinette, Fond du
Lac National Bank of Fond du Lac,
and the Waukesha National Bank of
Waukesha.
One of the represen tatives of the
First National Bank was seen this af-
ternoon and he stated that it was not
certain as yet what would be done in
regard to the fOrminp of an aSSOci a.
ton, or as to whether the Kenosha
Bank would be a member of the asso-
citation if formed.

County Treasurer villnow Sends Check

Kenosha county is square on the
books of the State Treasurer, for
Wednesday County Treasurer Vi11now
sent a check to the State Treasurer,
covering the entire amount due the
State from Kenosha county as State
taxes.
The check amounted to little less
than twelve thousand dollars. The
taxes for the year, as collected by the
Treasurer for the State, we're SIS, PIGS.
Added to this was 1854 So, which was
due to the State treasury on account of
fines collected in the county. A fur
Their item of $50 was paid as fees for

In settling the account with the state
the county treasurer withheld So, 141.22.

The city treasurer is still collecting

Transportation Company Secures an
Option on Dock Property and
viii Build a, Warehouse
A LARGE INCREASE IN BUSINESS.
Increasing Business Demands That the
Company Change to Daily Runs in
the Near Future.

It is reported this morning that the
Barry Brothers Transportation COM
pany have secured au option for the
purchase of a dock fronting the Keno
sha harbor and in the early spring the
company will begin the erection of a
large warehouse to accommodate their
patrons in Chicago and Kenosha. The
plans for the warehouse have been
drawn and it will be one of the largest
owned by the company. 1t will be
constructed entirely of corrugated iron
and will be absolutely freproof. The
Kenosha agent of the company has
been notified that work on the ware
house will start as soon as the weather
will permit.
The building of the large warehouse
assures the permanency of the steamer
line between Kenosha and Chicago.
Since the line was started the business
has proved a paying one and during
the last few weeks the boat owned by
the company has been pushed to its
capacity to furnish room for the
freight shipped to the different points.
Oh ILLS oNSOhhG IAAN NOAAHOAt 80 ~
that in few days they will be forced
to adopt daily schedule instead of
the three times week schedule which
had been arranged for the winter
months.
In the early spring it is probable
that much larger boat will be placed
on the Chicago, Waukegan, Kenosha
line. The present boat is good enough
for the freight business, but the com
pany is planning to make bid for the
passenger business during the summer
months and for this reason a faster
and better boat will be secured for
the run. If the business should war
rant it the company will place two
boats on the line, one of them to be
used almost exclusively for the passen-
ger and excursion business. During
the last two months two new vessels
have been purchased by the Barry
company and it Impossible that one of
these will be called into service for use
On the Chicago, Waukegan and Keno
sha line.

Rates for Private Cars,

The interstate commerce commission has
announced decision in which it holds that
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. IL
it transports private cars of any class
must in like manner and upon like terms
transport all private cars occupied for the
same or similar purposes. 1t says that the
road, however, may lawfully decline to
haul private cars at, all, or it may haul
private cars of one class and refuse to
haul others Of a wholly different class
The case is that of Spencer Z. Carr against
the Northern Pacific. The complainant is
commercial salesman, who uses a pri-
waite car on his trips, and first trip
between St. Paul, Mimi, and Portland
Ore, he was charged fifteen round trip
fares. but on subsequent trips was charged
fifteen local fares from point to point
where he stopped along the line. He
claimed this a discrimination as compared
with the rates granted theatrical pleasure
and other parties in private cars.
The commission holds that the services
mentioned are not similar, and that the
rates charged, while not held to be reason
able, are not shown to be unreasonable.

JOINT ACTION DENIED.
Attitude of the Government Regard
ing the Asphalt COncessions.

Inquiry at the State Department brought
forth a positive denial of any joint action
on the part of the United States, Great
Britain, Germany and Spain, relative TO
the Venezuelan courts. Some time ago. in
connection with the asphalt troubles, the
State Department found ii necessary To
instruct Minister LOOMS to inform the
Venezuelan government that in the event
that it forcibly dispose ssed American COM
panies from their concessions, the United
States government would reserve the right
to investigate the Legality OF the pro-
cedure which brought about the ejectment.
There was no thought of combining forces
with other nations in this matter. How
ever, it is regarded as entirely within be-
lief that some of the powers named. find
ing themselves in an attitude similar to the
United States toward the NensZuela Ian
courts have taken diplomatic action in the
same line as was laid down for Mr.. LOOMS
to follow. But of this there is no official
confirmation.
