The American chamber of COM
merce of Manila has passed reso-
buttons in praise of the army and
declaring that our soldiers have
not violated the rules of war. In
view OF the fact that General
Smith admits issuing the order
10 kill and burn, and in view of
the further fact that Major Wal
Ter admits executing the order,
the chamber seems to have be-
smirched itself rather than clear.

THE wiping out of the city OF
st. Pierre, on the Island of Mar
Unique, on the morning of May
9Th, and the death of over thirty
thousand people in half a minute
Is the greatest disaster of the
century. Mount Pelee, topped
by a Volcano thought to be long
since harmless, burst forth fire
and lava, smoke and deadly gas
that sbrougt instant death to
every living thing. An extended
account will be found on the in
side pages of this paper. AS the
later details come in the horror
grows in magnitude.
, In THE statistical report on
manufacturing industries of the
United States, recently published
by the government officials at
Washington D. c., Kansas stands
18th in the number OF manufac-
tslring industries, 22nd in popu-
lation; has. $50 manufacturing
establishments, employing 3d.
1913 people, turning out an an
nual value of of $172, 129, 1913 in
manufactured products. Kan
sas stands ahead of SO other
states and territories in number
OF manufactures and value OF
their. output. Yet the mossback
east, the seat of trusts, combines,
strikes and starvation, still calls
Kansas the cyclone state, the
home of the drouth and the
birthplace of cranks. Most of
our readers will live to see the
day when those eastern cranks
will pray to the people of Kan
sas for succor from oppression
by the monopolistic leeches.

Real Estate Deal.

Henry Hulsman Contracted to Make Big
Real Estate Deal.
Efforts are being made this after
/, noon to locate Henry Hulsman, of
! Minneapolis, Mimi, who has been in
this county for the past week making a
big real estate deal. The man has
been stopping at Central Park for the
past week and had agreed to purchase
the property owned by Mr.. Steinbach
for 1884, 900. He had even ordered the
money sent here from the First Ma
tiona1 bank in Minneapolis and the
papers transferring the property were
ready for signing. This morning he
left the park and came to Kenosha to
get the money. Mr.. and Mrs. Stein
bach followed few minutes later but
when they reached the city they found
no trace of the opulent German
customer.
On Wednesday Hulsman had notified
the bank at Minneapolis to send him
$34, 900 and heshad expected the arrival
of the money this morning. Instead
of the money coming the local bank
received warning that Hulsman was
not known in Minneapolis and not to
cash any paper drawn by him.
It is claimed that Hulsman had
good time in,Kenosha during the week
he was engineering his big deals and
left behind number of bills for board
and borrowed money.

parlors Thursday evening was at
tended by large number and pro-
nounced by all great success. The
crowd was SO great that many were

The fancy table was filed with beat
tiful and attractive articles, which
were soon bought by eager purchasers.
The dainty candy tables, prettily deco
rated with carnations, candles and rib
bons, added much to the charming APP
pearance Of the room. The orange
tree was of special interest to the chill
dren and was stripped Of its fruit long
before the evening closed.
The ladies of the church deserve
great credit for their work and over
5000 will be added to the treasury.
The supper was excellent. as all sup
pers are at the Congregational church.
The hostesses for the evening were:

Herman Yese Starts a Suit in the Cir
cult Court Against the Chicago
Brass Company.
PAY FOR PERSONAL INJURIES
Plaintiff In the Case Claims That he has
Been Permanently Disabled by Being
Caught In the Machinery.

Herman Yese, through his attorney,
Norman L. Baker, filed IN the Circuit
Court today a suit against the Chi
cago Brass Company, of this city, de-
manding $4,000 as damages for per-
sonal injuries sustained by the plaintiff
while an employe of the plant owned
by the defendant company.
The case promises to be most in
teresting one and the decision will IN a
measure determine the fact as to what
liability workman assumes when he
enters the employ of an industrial
plant.
Yese was terribly injured at the
Brass Mills on the morning of May p.
He was employed as roller of sheet
metal and was at work at his roll
when he slipped on some oil and his
right arm fell into the roller. He
made an effort to reverse the machin-
cry, but the effort failed and his arm
was drawn into the roll and broken in
six pieces. He alleges that there was
no way to stop the roll and that his en-
tire body was wound round and round
by the machine, causing the breaking
of his bones and causing injuries from
which he can never fully recover.
Yese has never been able to return
to work since the accident and it is al
legged that he will never be able to do
manual labor again. In his complaint
the injured workman alleges that the
accident was caused directly by the
negligence of the company as the lat
ter had failed to provide any machinery
by which the machine on which he
was working could be reversed in case
of accident and that the only way to
stop the machine was to cut the belt
-7rra,sss shifting the power with jack
knife.
He alleges that lever had been
arranged to stop the machine when it
was not in use but that this lever was
powerless to prevent the motion of
the machine when it was being used
for the rolling of brass.
The suit will probably come up for
trial at the March term of the Circuit
court. The point of the liability of a
company for the protection of its
laborers has never been tested in the
courts and this case will offer such

Waukegan People Claim That the
Chicago, Waukegan and EIgin
Road Will Never Be Built.
IN CAHOOTS WITH NORTHWESTERN
w. T. Arthur Is Said to BE Simply At
the City to the Southwark.

The recent visit of w. T. Arthur,
president of the Chicago, Waukegan
and Elgin railway, and his announce
ment that he would probably run his
line to this city instead of Waukegan,
has stirred up pot of vile vitupera-
ton in Waukegan and the papers of
that city are now declaring that the
plan outlined by Mr.. Arthur for the
construction Of the belt line to include
Kenosha is all bluff. They declare
further that Arthur is in cahoots with
the Northwestern Railway company
and intimate that he is seeking fran
chise rights for the sole purpose of
cutting out any competitive line which
mig hit be built. Waukegan is especi-
ally sore. Down in the Bluff city some
Of its people had planned to build a
little spur track to connect Waukegan
with the St. Paul road and for this
little track the council of that city re-
fused to grant a franchise to the C. W.
& E. which is planning to offer con-
nection with every eastern and west
ern road leading out of Chicago.
Since the visit of Mr.. Arthur to this
city many Kenosha people have taken
an active interest in the plans for the
road and it is discovered that the COM
pany has franchises for its entire line
with the exception of the northern
terminus. For this reason Mr.. Arthur
is seeking some encouragement from
Kenosha people.
Should the road be built Into Keno
sha it would offer many possibilities
for increased trade. The company
building the line admit that they have
no plans in regard to this northern
terminus and with little work the
people of the city could practically
dictate the line to be followed from
Fox Lake into Kenosha. If so desired
the line could be built SO as to offer a
connection with the st. Paul tracks at
Truesde1l or at some other station and
in this manner the people of the city
would secure long desired connec,
ton.
Mr.. Arthur was in the city again on
Wednesday but as yet he has not made
any official communication to the
council in which his plans are fully
stated. tits claimed, however, that he

is backed by company which has
ample funds to build any line con-
templated, and it is further stated on
the authority of the president Of the
road that while friendly to the roads
running through this district the com
pany has no connection with any Of
these roads.
Kenosha has nothing to lose by the
entrance of this road to to this city,
and even if it is connected with the
NorthwesterS it would add not little
to the railway facilities of the city.
