KenOsha Residents to Bring a Hun
dred Suits Against the WiscOn-
sin Telephone Company.
CLAIM PROPERTY is DAMAGED
Racine Property owners to Join With Ke-
nosha in General Assault on the
Treasury of the Company

Attorney G. r. Mcdowell went to
Racine this morning to prepare the
way for the fling of two hundred suits
against the Wisconsin Telephone com
pany to force the company to pay to
the people of Racine and Kenosha
damages for injury to property in the
two cities caused by the setting of
telephone poles. Some time ago Mr..
Mcdowell was called as counsel in
several suits brought in Racine and
depending on the success of these
suits, the telephone company having
been defeated in the actions, the prop
erty owners of the two cities have
brought these wholesale suits to re-
cover some damages from the corpora
ton for the annoyance of the singing
wires and obstructing poles. Of the
large number of suits the number will
be equally divided between Racine and
Kenosha, each city having an equal
quota, and it is probable that the suits
will be filed so as to permit their COM
ing to trial at the next term of the
Circuit Court.
It is impossible at this time to give
any list of the plaintiffs in the suits,
but in Kenosha most of the plaintiffs
reside on Park and Milwaukee avenues.
Many weeks ago meeting of the resi-
dents interested in the matter was held
and at this meeting it was unani-
mous1y decided to go ahead with the
suits and if possible force the te1e-
phone company to pay some adequate
price for the property used.
The amount of damages which may
be recovered by the property owners
will be exceedingly small, and should
the company lose the suit it is not ex-
pected that the highest damages as
sessed will exceed thirty dollars, but
should the suits become general the
result would be that the company
would be forced to pay thousands of
dollars for it's right of way in Kenosha.
According to a recent law enacted
by the State Legislature all the rights
of telephone companies will be secure
after 1908 and for this reason the suits
will be hurried in order that decision
in higher courts may be secured before
the State law renders the company
free from any liza bi1ity.
There are fully twenty five hundred
property owners in Kenosha who are
able TO file a claim against the COM
pany and in many cases the damages
might be set at a high figure. For
this reason Attorney Mcdowell and
his associates are anxious to have the
cases tested at once in order to force
the company to pay the greatest price
for the valuable rights held by them.
Besides the condemnation suits,
other suits will be filed against the
company. John T. Yu1e has announc-
ed his intention of filing a suit for
damages to his property, and has no.
titled the company of his intentions.
Attorney Nc. Dowe11 has also announc-
ed similar intentions.
The development of the suits and
the hearings in court will be watched
with intense interest by the people OF
the entire city.

AN interesting article by ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland on "The Safety
of the PRESIDENT was published re-
Gently in the Philadelphia Evening
Post. Mr.. Cleveland is not in favor of
the plan of keeping the President iso-
dated. He declares that not only have
the people a right to see the President,
but that the President likes to meet
and talk with the people. In debating
this point he goes on to say:
SIT is not amiss to add that in dis
cussing the curtai1ment of the privi-
leges long accorded to the public in
this regard the President himself must
be reckoned with. We shall never
have President who is not fond of
the great mass of his countrymen and
who is not willing to trust them. His
close contact with them is inspiring
and encouraging, Their friendly
greeting and hearty grasp of his hand,
with no favors to ask and no selfish
cause to urge, bring pleasant relief
from official perplexities and annoy
1ng opportunities. The people have
enjoyed a generous access to their
President for more than a hundred
years. Weighing the remote chance
of harm against the benefit and graft
fication of such access both to himself
and the people, it can hardly be pre-
dicted that a project for its abolition
would be sanctioned by any mount ent
of the Presidential office"

PRESIDENT CAPEN and Secretary
Smith, of the American Board of Mis-
sions, after a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Acting Secretary
of State Adee, announce that the only
sure way to save the life of Miss
Stone, the congregational missionary
now in the hands of the Bulgarian
brigands, is to pay the ransom de-
manded In order to do this the sum
of $4,000 must be in the hands of
Kidder, Pea body & Co., of Boston, be-
fore II o'clock, eastern time, tomor-
row. The promoters of the project to
raise this amount by church contribu-
fions and popular subscription, were
greatly discouraged last evening by
the meager response to their appeal
the fund last night only amounting to
a little over $4,000. The position
taken by the Board itself is response
Die for this, as the people cannot un-
derstand why the Board, whose mis-
sionary Miss Stone is, and which is
responsible for her being in a position
where she is exposed to such danger,
does not pay the ransom itself.
The public, Furthermore, does not for
a moment believe that this great de-
nomination will allow one of its mis-
sionaries to suffer death or worse for
the want of any amount of money. If
the Board of Missions does not care to
appear officially in the matter, they
will undoubtedly find some means to
furnish the money.
The Board explains that it fears to
pay the ransom itself, and by so doing
establish precedent, because the
hundreds of missionaries now in Tur-
key and Bulgaria would at once be-
come the prey Of other brigands.
The position of the Board does not
seem to be we'll taken, since the
brigands who receive the money will
naturally suppose it came from them.
AS to future danger, President Roose-
welt is not the man to rest quietly under
this outrage upon an American citizen
and as soon as the nationality of the
abductors is determined steps will be
taken to recover the amount of the
ransom and to so severely punish the
perpetrators of this outrage that no
further attempt to extort money by
this method need be apprehended.
