Kenosha Gas and Electric Company
Seek to Introduce a New
Scheme in Kenosha.
ELECTRIC POWER FOR ALL USES
With the Setting of Dynamos for Electric
Railway Company the Electric Com
pany will Offer New Advantages.

If the plans of the managers of the
Kenosha Gas and Electric company
materialize Kenosha will have another
of the attributes of city in the near
| future in the way of an all day electric
light and power company. With the
setting of dynamos to furnish power
for the operation of the electric rail-
way trains the Gas and Electric COM
pany will also seek to add sufficient
equipment to their plant to make it
possible for them to furnish their pat
rons not only with electric lights at
any time of the day or night, but they
will be able to furnish electric power
for all commercial uses. For long
time this power has been greatly
needed in Kenosha and one of the off,
Gals of the company stated Thursday
that if the present plans of the COM
pany were carried out within a short
time the company would be able to
furnish power in any amounts. In
speaking of the matter he said: eve
will be able to furnish power so that it
can be used for running rubbing
brush IN a livery stable or coffee mill
in grocery store or the heaviest md
chinery to be found in Kenosha fac
tories.'' This addition to the output
of the company will of course demand
several changes in the equipment of
the plant and several engagements to
provide room for the installation of
new and better machinery.
The company have received every
encouragement to go into this line of
work and several of the factories
which do not require vast amount of
power are ready to take in the new
power as soon as the company are
ready to supply it.
The addition of the new machinery
will not only provide for the day light,
but 1t will also make it possible for the
company to provide against accidents
such as have forced the patrons to be
without lights on several nights dur
ing the last two weeks. It is the plan
of the company to install this new
machinery during the present year.

President of the 6ain Wagon Works
Expired at His Park Avenue
Home This Morning.
DEATH FROM CHRONIC PLEURIsY
Mr.. Newell Had Been Ill for Several
Months and Death Not Unexpected
His Long Career as Business Man.
(From Fridays Dailv.)

Frederick S. Newell, president and
treasurer of the Balm Wagon Works
and president of the Chicago Rockford
Hosiery works, died at his home in this
city shortly after midnight this morn
ing at the age of SO years.
Mr.. Newell had been i'll for many
months with a chronic p1eurisy and
his death had been expected for several
days. At the time of his death his
wife and two children were with him
at the bedside. The death of Mr..
Newell marks the passing of one of
the best known of Kenosha's citizens.
Almost his entire life has been spent
in this city and he has been closely
connected with the developments of
the manufacturing interests of the
city.
Deceased was one of the defendants
of the old English Newell family
which came to this country in 1910.
He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Theo-
dore Newell and was born in South
port on June 9th, 1845. Mr.. Newell
had the honor of being one of the first
white children born in Southern Wis
consin.
When eleven years of age Mr.. Newell
accompanied the other members of the
Newell family to New Haven, Conn.,,
in order that better educational advan-
tages might be secured. Here Mr..
Newell was educated in private schools
and in 1868 he returned to Chicago and
went into business with his father,
who was then extensively engaged in
the manufacture of lumber. He re-
manned in Chicago for several years
when his health failed and he was
forced to spend several years travelling
much Of the time being spent IN
Europe. During these years Mr..
Newell visited almost every country on
the globe.
On his return from abroad Mr..
Newell went to Chicago and organized
the White Cloud Lumber company, of
White Cloud, Mimi, in which business
he remained until 1876 when he re-
turned to Kenosha and entered the
Office of the Balm Wagon works. At
the incorporation of this company four
years later Mr.. Newell was made the
secretary OF the COulpduye WHICH OuCS
he held until the death of Edward
Balm, when Mr.. Newell was made
president and treasurer. Under the
direction of Mr.. Newell the Balm COM
pany has becom known as the great
est wagon making company in the
world.
A few years ago Mr.. Newell was one
of the incorporators of the Chicago
Rockford Hosiery works and at the
time Of his death he occupied the posi-
ton of president of the company. The
deceased was also connected with the
Lane Manufacturing company and the
Kenosha Watch Case company, which
was afterwards absorbed by the Elgin
Watch works.
On the Sd of January, 1873, Mr..
Newell was united in marriage to Miss
Frances Balm, daughter of the late
Edward Balm. He is survived by a
widow and two children, Marjorie
Moyca and Edward 7. Newell.

WEIsMAN ADJUDGgD INSANE
old Union Grove Attorney to be Sent to the
Hospital at winnebago When Found.

Hospital at Winnebago When Found.
In the county court this morning,
Judgment was rendered finding Henry
Weisman insane, and ordering that he
be sent to the State hospital for the
insane at Winnebago. The finding of
the court came as a result of the hear
ing held Thursday afternoon, when
dozen witnesses swore to the insanity
of the man.
The judgment of the court has not
as yet been announced to the attorney,
as the officers have not been able to
locate him. He left his home on Mon
day last to go to Chicago, and since
that time no trace of him has been
found. The people of Brighton seem
to think that the old man has gone
away to avoid being sent to the asy-
1um and that he will return as soon as
the matter is hushed up. Mr.. Weis-
man has announced that he will
right the charges against him and it
is possible that on his return he will
demand a trial of his sanity by jury,
but it is hardly possible that jury
would reverse the findings of the
court.

RAISED THEIR PAY.
Northwestern Railway Company Increases
Pay of a Large Number of Employees.

Northwestern Railway Company Increases
Pay of Large Number of Employees
! Thousands of employees of the Chi.
cago & Northwestern railway system
will reap the benefits of al increase in
wages. The increase will mean a
monthly expenditure by the company
of hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and nearly all the trainmen in the en-
ploy of the corporation will be bene-
flied. The schedule went into effect
the first of the month.
The raise in wages directly affects
the conductors, brakemen and bag
gagemen of the system. The action
of the company is direct result of
the conferences held between the Of
fcia1s and the leaders Of the employees
organization. The conferences have
extended over several weeks. The
demands of the men were finally con-
coded by the company officers to be
Just, and the decision to{grant the adj
vance was adopted. The meetings
were entirely friendly anc the question
was discussed calmly. at no time was
there any sign of disagreement.
The advance is regulated according
to the present wages earned. In the
case of conductors, who receive the
highest salaries of the three divisions
of employees affected, the increase will
be proportionately larger than the
brakemen or baggagemen. The per-
centage of increase has not been made
public, but officials are authority for
the statement that the amount will
average about $40 a month. The
prosperous condition of the North
western company's business brought
about the request of the men for more
money.
For several months the trainmen
have been worked hard to take care OF
the heavy traffic, and many of the con-
ductors, brakemen and baggagen1en
have worked many, hours a day over.
time. It was this condition, together
with the fact that instead of falling of
business seemed to be growing weekly
that induced the men to lay the matter
J before their employers.
Trainmen in the employ of other
roads have made a like demand for ar
increase, and in presenting THEN
claims call attention to the fact thai
the wages have never been restored tc
J the scale in vogue prior to 1898. It is
thought that the action of the North
western will have tendency to cause
other roads to grant the request of the
men The new order will benefit bou
! forty employees in this city.

The Brooklyn attacked us, and it is
ridiculous to say the Brooklyn kept

fight. The number of times the
Brooklyn was struck shows she was
more in the fight than any other
American ship.
"Admiral Sampson himself admits
the Brooklyn's westerly blockade
position gave her an advantage in
the chase; that she maintained this
to the end, and that che employed
her fine battery. with telling effect.
The Brooklyn was the only Ameri-
can ship which had anyone killed
aboard.
There can't have been cowardice
where the ship engaged three of
ours. A man of honor. like Schley,
is always courageous. Eye. wit

turn to Mr. Hallam the violin which
was our property, and which was
only loaned Mr.. Egry. In addition
to this he is in our debt thirty dol
lars, which money was advanced to
him. Perhaps these little over

RELEASE OF EMMETT DALTON.

In commenting upon the proposition
to grant pardon to Emmett Dalton,
the ex-bandit. the State Journal took
occasion to say that the pardon business
had almost assumed the proportions of
an epidemic. There is a whole lot of
verify in that and it is time to hold a
consultation and check if possible the
spread of the fever"
Not the future of Dalton, alone, is in
volved in the move which his relatives,
friends and lawyers have undertaken.
1t does mean that much and a great
deal more: in a measure the majority
of law and Justice as every component
unit of the commonwealth is to regard
it Nearly ten years ago the gang of
outlaws to which this man belonged en-
tered the town of Coffeyville, robbed a
bank and with no more cause than the
escape with their booty shot down in
cold blood several citizens of that place.
Young Emmett Dalton. for he was only
a youth, was apprehended and after
fair trial sentenced to life imprison-
ment, of course as being accessory to
the murder of the victims. Now after
he has spent this much time behind the
walls a strong pressure is being brought
to bear to free him. The claim that he
has suffered enough is set up. His
mOlnef, as any parent would do similar
ly placed, pleads that the son was too
young to be responsible for that days
deeds and that he was misled by older
and wickeder men. Well, that may Ne
all true enough. But with all the ex-
tenuating circumstances would it be
fair to the families and other relatives
of those who were killed to palliate such
a crime and turn loose the offender after
such a short term of service? Is it just
to those who abide by law and who in
helping to arrest and convict this GRIM
inal gave time and treasure if neces-
sary? 1t does seem that if the statutes
say given crime should be punished
by a fixed sentence, then that law
should be lived uD to. That is why it
was enacted. And the fulhllment of it
is what will keep it enacted.
This case is the only one that has
been cited. There have been a number
of pardons granted recently and it seems
that enough has been given out for
awhile That vacillating policy of
smashing a joint and arresting the keep
er thereof one day, then on the next
signing a petition for his pardon is in
consistent and will create forgetfulness
of the legal penalty and finally disre-
Spect for law itself.
The problem of dealing with our Grim
inals is one that must be worked out
gradually and in a way that first will
prevent society in general from becom-
ing polluted.
