Mayor Pearce Of Waukegan Starts a
Suit to Prevent the Building of
the North Shore Railway.
CLAIMS ALL RIGHTS HAVE EXPIRED.
Asks Circuit Court of Lake County to-
Annul the Charter OF the Company
and Declare the Streets Free.

Mayor w. W., Pearce of Waukegau.
has started suit against Alexander
Clark and his colleagues in the build
ing of the Waukegap and North Shore
railroad which may result IN the road
being blocked for many years. The
suit is brought in the circuit court of
Lake County, Ill.,, and the complaint
alleges that the charter of the COM
pany has been forfeited on account of
the fact that the company has not as
yet started the work of building the
road. The suit was filed yesterday
and the managers of the railway COM
pany have as yet made no answer to
lit.
Should Mayor Pearce be successful
in his suit the result would be the
blocking of interurban traffic between
Kenosha and Waukegan for many
years, as Mr.. Clark and his company
now have possession Of nearly all the
right of way between the two cities.
Within the last three months the
agents of Mr.. Clark have been in this
county and have purchased consider
able land for the use of the line.
Should the charter of the company be
annulled, these sales will in no way be
affected, as most of the land has not
been transferred to the company, and
it is still held by promoters.
The Pearce suit is brought for the
purpose of ousting Clark and his COM
pany out of Waukegan, and it is
claimed that it is largely a personal
matter between Mayor Pearce and the
promoters of the through line. For
some time these two contestants have
been at outs, and it is supposed that
Mayor Pearce has taken this plan to
retaliate. Should the suit be success
full all the work done liz the last few
years to secure the completion of the
line between Kenosba and Chicago
will be lost.
The suit will undoubtedly be con-
tested in the highest courts and it is
possible that the company will be
able to show that work has been done
on some portion of the line and in this
way hold the charter granted by the
state of Illinois. Mr.. Clark is the
only man who owns the right of way
along the flats in Waukegan, and his
holdings are regarded as very valuable
for railway purposes. Should he be
prevented from completing his project
he would be able to block any other
plans which might be made by other
companies.
The people south of Kenosha and
owning property in this county are
all in favor of the completion of the
line at the earliest possible moment.

THE people of Oklahoma and IndiaD
Territory are said to be strongly in
favor of the union of the two terri
tories and their admission as one state.
The two territories united would make
a great state with sufficient popula.
tion to entitle it to FIVE members of
the House of Representatives and it is
believed that there would be little OPP
position in Congress to measure ad-
uniting them as one state.

HAVE you noticed the tenders on the
street cars? Nothing very complicat-
ed or expensive about them is there?
And yet the company delayed three or
four months after they were ordered
put on by the council on the plea that
it was impossible to get them and the
city was obliged to threaten suit to an
null the company's franchise before
they finally made their appearance.
Some of the aldermen are getting very
tired of the policy Of evasion and delay
practiced by the street railway com
pany and unless some of the matters
now in dispute between the city and
the company are settled in short order,
they propose Ito see just what rights
the city has under the franchise.

State Factory Inspectors Come to
ken0sha to Observe the Work.
ings Of the New Law.
OVERLAPPING TO BE THOROUGH.
Inspectors Harbeck and KoepseN Spending
Week in Kenosha. WIN Make q Good
Report ON Industries,

The eagle eyes of the state factory
inspectors are on Kenosha and Inspec.
tor John j. Koepsell, of Sheboygan,
and j. Henry Harbeck, of Appleton,
have been in the city for the past few
days making complete examinations of
the conditions prevailing in the fac
tories in the city. The report of the
inspectors will be credit to the city
and its industrial interests.
The examination is the most thor
ough that has been made in a numb Der
of years, for since the passage of the
new laws in regard to laboring classes
many points have come up for solution
and the work of looking over the fac.
tories of the state has become a monu.
mental one. In their visit to Kenosha
the two inspectors are examining
every place where labor is employed
and many suggestions are being made
to the managers for the betterment of
the conditions under which the labor
erslare forced to work.
AS yet not single arrest has been
made at the request of the inspectors
and thus far they have found no viola
tons of the law in any of the Kenosha
concerns. The inspectors have visited
all the larger factories of the city and
they have found that every child en-
ployed has secured the proper permit
from the court house. In several of
the factories where children were
working the inspectors found that the
managers had taken steps to better the
conditions for the little workers and
to make the factory home as pleasant
as possible.
The factory inspectors have been
greeted kindly by the managers and it
is evident that the latter are willing
and ready to work in unison with the
state officials in the enforcement of the
laws.
Both of the inspectors spoke in high.
est terms of the condition of the Keno
sha industrial plants and it is evident
that Kenosha will have report to the
state board which will be second to no
city in the state.
IT As interesting 10 note that the 1u-
spectors have agreed with Judge Slos.
son in his decision in regard to issuing
permits for golf caddies and special
permits have been furnished to the
judge to cover such cases.
Before leaving the city the inspect
ors will not only visit every factory.
but they will extend their investiga-
tons to all the mercantile establish
ments and to all bowling alleys and
bar rooms.
Both Mr.. Koepsell and Mr.. Harbeck
are thoroughly in sympathy with the
laws for the lettering of the laborers'
condition and they are taking per-
sonal interest in securing the proper
enforcement of the laws.

The following social notice from the
pages of Town Topics, the New York

est in Kenosha:
"The prospects of another society
military wedding have fallen through
The engagement of Mrs. Frank NJ
Avery, of Chicago, to Mr.. William G.
Doane, Lieutenant of the Sixteenth
Infantry, U. S. A., is off, and it is gos
siped in Chicago that the dashing Mrs,
Avery has Tilted her former love to be
come engaged to an Englishman OF
prominence, though no one seems &c
know who the Englishnan is. I pre-.
dicted when she went to London last
summer that after she got a taste OF
social life there something of the kind
was likely to occur, for, compared
to London and Continental gayety, the
prospect of life in lonely Army post
would appear mighty dreary to wo-
man of Mrs. Avery's nature. I am
told that the wealthy Chicago widow
first met her new fance at a house
party given by the Duke and Duchess
Of New Castle last summer, and that
the wooing has been desperate ever
since.
'Mrs. Avery seems to have lost her
head through the attention she has
received on the other side. She had
told all of her friends she would re.
turn home this month, but now the
tickle widow has taken house in Lon
don with the intention of remaining
until next winter. She has announced
that she will then take house in New
York, but her friends in Chicago be-
lieve she intends to make London her
permanent home. Her mother, Mrs.
E. S. Clark, and her young son are
with her. The breaking of the en-.
gagement is regrettable, for it spoils
the rounding out of romance that oe.

TEE Automobiles are now facing
just such situation as confronted the
bicyclists when the wheel first came
into general use. The reckless scorch-
ing and utter disregard of the rights of
others shown by few of their number
has brought down the wrath of the
public upon them as class and there
is danger that in attempting to sup
press the scorcher the law makers will
GO to extremes and make the many
suffer for the sins of few. The
matter will adjust itself in time just
as the bicycle has worked out it's .own
salvation, but in the meantime the
better class of Automobiles will have
to stand good deal of uudeserved
censure. If the public did but know it
the majority of the automobiles and
all of the manufacturers of this class
of vehicles are rather more anxious
than anybody else to have the smen
who are responsible for all the
feeling against the machines Sc
verely dealt with by the law. They do
not enjoy hearing their machines called
"devil wagons" and themselves repre-
scented as inhuman monsters seeking
whom they may kill or MAIN and while
they realize that much of the public
feeling against the machines arises
from ignorance they know that the
automobile will never be more than
tolerated by the masses until the
scorcher il thing of the past.
