PROTESTS FROM WEST MAIN.
Property owners Object to the Stree
Railway Being Rui1t on That Street.

Property owners Object to the Street
Railway Being Ruilt on That Street.
It is probable that there will be q
loud protest against the changing OF
the route of the Kenosha street rail
way company when the matter comes
before the council at the next regular
meeting. The protest will come from
the people of West Main street, and
quite little talk is being heard in re-
gard to the matter. Several of the
property owners have been interviewed
and they say that the council has no
right to grant the change of the r1ghf
of way as it takes from the people OF
West Main street the rights granted to
them under the franchise of forcing
the company to gain their consent be-
fore the route may be changed. The
change is also opposed on account OF
the fact that the street is but p feet in
width from curb to railway, and with a
track laid in the center of this street
there would be no room left for the use
of the people.
At first glance it appeared that the
company by their recent communica-
ton to the council were making new
concessions to the city by conscnting
to remove the bridge, but an examina-
ton shows that if the company are
allowed to use the city piers and abut-
ments they will really gain consider
able from the deal.
It is hardly probable that any action
will be taken on the matter at the
meeting of the council this evening,
and when the new council is sworn in
there win probably be change Of

been considering the plan of building
the hospital, but it was only during
the last few days that his plans ma
tured. He was seen at his office this
afternoon and in speaking of the mat
ter he said that he had long been i'm
pressed that a hospital was one of Ke-
nosha's greatest needs. Three thous-
and workmen find employment in the
city and they are constantly meeting
with accidents, but there is no place in
which to care for them. For this rea-
son Mr.. Simmons decided that the
hospital should be built at once. The
plans for the building have been
drawn, but they have not at yet been
accepted. The building, according to
the plan outlined by Mr.. Simmons,
will be three stories in height with d
large and com n1odious basement. The
foundation will be of stone, while the
building will be of brick and steel,
making it as far as possible perfect
fireproof building.
The equipment, which will be fur
nished by Mr.. Simmons, will be all
that the modern arts and science can
suggest. The walls of the building
will be of adamant, insuring the
greatest cleanliness for the patients
entrusted to it's care. The operating
room will be one of the features. 1t
will be the best operating room IN the
state and any Kenosha physician who
is called to operate on a patient can
seek the operating room with the as
surance that every equipment to be de-
sired will be found ready for his use.
AS vet the site of the building has
not been selected. Mr.. Simmons is
desireus of locating the building some
where where the city heat will be op
toinab1e. One of the sites under con-
sideration is the old orphan asylum
place. This plat is located near the
western limits of the city and, while it
could not bespurchased outright, Mr.
Simmons is of the opinion that it
could be leased for period of ninety
nine years.
Another site is site on the lake
shore. No one site is in view and it is
possible that if such site is selected
it will be necessary to fill up large
portion of the lake front for the pur-
pose. If the lake front site is selected
the building could be easily provided
with the city heat, as the heat is now
within a short distance of any of the
proposed locations. IF the hospital is
placed on the lake front it is the plan
of Mr.. Simmons to farther beautify
the place by the construction of a
small park about the building making
it a haven of rest for the sick aud
wounded.
Mr.. Simmons stated that he was
planning to spend thirty thousand dol
to complete the proposed hospital and
that he expected to have it completed

THE SCHLEY INQUIRY
Es-sscretnry Of the Navy Tracy In the
Case-His knowledge of Dureau

There Is said TO be a big surprise in
store for the navy department when
the court of inquiry meets 10 investi-

rotary Long and other officers at the
navy department have been proceed
Ing on the assumption that Admiral
Schley would not take the greatest adj

corded him Of having the hearings Of
the court open to the public, and of be-
ing represented by such counsel as he
might choose. Both the concessions
are unusual in courts of inquiry, which
are ike courts-martial, purely milf
tary tribunals. But Secretary Long
wished to show that the department
Is more than fair TO Admiral Schley.

inquiry shall be subject to the same in
fuences as a sensational civil trial.

said that former Secretary Of the

Gen. Tracy is one Of the greatest
lawyers in the United States, and was
associated with exPreside Harrison
in the Venezuelan case before the

Der Secretary Chandler, had some
unpleasant experiences with naval

ical influence TO continue on

will compel complete overhauling Of
the department, whatever the result

revelation will be made rs to increase
the public feeling that Schley is the
victim Of bureaucratic iealousies.
Wealthy men in New York and Bos-

and stand ready TO contribute all the
money needed for the employment Of
