CHANCE FOR BOAT SERVICE.
Company Organizing at Waukegan May
Include Kenosha In the Boat Line

Company Organizing at Waukegan May
Include Kenosha In the Boat Line
Another chance is being offered to
Kenosha to secure lake transportation
during the summer as company is or
ganizing at Waukegan to build or
purchase boat and open a line be-
tween that city and Chicago. Negoti-
ations have gone so far that the. COM
pany has sought to purchase the
steamer ''Saugatuck" now at Sauga-
tuck, Mich. It is understood that the
boat can be bought for ten thousand
dollars and money almost sufficient for
the purchase has already been raised.
The promoters of the new company
have advanced the idea to a number of
Kenosha business men and there is
little doubt but that the line would be
continued to this city if the merchants
were able to show demand for the
service.

Entire City Will Be Redistricted at
Once For the Mail Carrier Ser.
vice OF the POstOffiCe.
NEW TERRITORY TO BE ANNEXED.
Government Orders That the Carrier Ser
Carriers.-Appoints VIM. Grewenow.

The steady improvement in the mail
facilities in Kenosha is to be con-
tinued and this morning Postmaster
Frantz received notice from Washing
ton that the carrier force in Kenosha
would be increased to eight men on the
first of July. This increase in the
number of carriers has demanded an
entire redistricting of the city and the
territory which has been added to it
since the carriers routes were first
laid out some years ago.
There are now seven carrier districts
in the city and the number will at once
be increased to eight in keeping with
the orders from the postmaster-gener-
al. During the last year large por-
tons of the town of Pleasant Prairie
and the town of Somers have been
added to the city and while these peo-
pie so added to the city tax roll have
been required to pay city taxes they
have never had the benefits of the free
mail delivery. Many complaints have
been made by these people on account
of the fact that they were further from
the postoffice than most of the terri.
tory included in the free delivery dis
trict. With the redistricting of the
city all of these families will be in
cluded on the carriers routes and the
number of people in the city receiving
the benefits of free delivery will be in
creased by nearly thousand.
Most of the people live from one
to two miles from the postoffice or from
the new branch which will be opened
on Milwaukee avenue and for this rea-
son the benefits of the service to them
will be even the greater.
The redistricting will be done in a
way to give the people of the city the
quickest possible delivery service. All
of the routes will be made a little
shorter and the carriers will have a
chance to get through their work in
the time allowed by the government
regulations. 1t is possible that later
in the year an extra delivery will be
allowed to the business district and
possibly to the residence district in
close proximity to the postof6ce.
In order to fill up the list of carriers
William Grewenow has been appointed
by Captain Frantz. Grewenow is one
of the men who was on the eligible
list and has seen some service as sub
stitute carrier. With this change in
the carrier service the postmaster be-
lieves that the service in the city will
be greatly improved.
In connection with the redistricting
of the city for the new routes the post
master announces that the routes will
be laid out only where the people de-
string the benefits of free delivery
have arranged for the building of side
walks and the proper numbering of the
houses in portions of the city not in
the free delivery district at the present
time,

WANT LICENSE REVOKED.
City Council Is Asked to Close Saloon of
AdOlph GrOeger.

AQOApn CIrO0&0rs
At the adjourned meeting of the
Common Council Monday evening
Chief of Police Reinold made a formal
complaint against Adolph Groeger,
charging him with violating the laws
in regard to selling liquor, and asking
the Council to call Groeger up to stand
trial and show cause why his license
should not be revoked.
In his complaint the Chief accuses
Groeger Of violating the laws on sew
eral occasions, alleging that he not
only sold liquor to minors and intoxi-
Gated persons. but that he allowed
gambling in his saloon and took a
hand in it himself. The records of the
Justice courts during the last few
weeks show that Groeger had been
convicted of gambling and that his
employees had been found guilty of
selling to minors.
It is understood that Groeger will
make hard fight to retain his license.
The hearing of the case is set for next
Monday evening, and the result is
being watched with great deal of In
terest. Should the Council revoke the
license of Groeger it is possible that
some of the other saloons will be called
to account by the Council.

SENATOR GETS AN AUTO.
Horseless Carriage Craze Has Attacked
Members of the Legislature.

The automobile craze has reached
the Legislature, and Senator Mosher
has purchased machine. He started
with it Saturday from Kenosha, and
says the actual running time to Madi-
son, Us miles, was eight and one-ha1f
hours. 'If the roads had not been so
bad, and we had not had to stop so
often to let teams go by, we could have
run the distance in six hours he
said.
The route from Kenosha to James
vile, via. Burlington and De1evan, was
taken and the distance was covered in
FIVE hours. The Senator stayed over
night at GAINESVILLE and ran from there
to Madison in three and half hours.
The worst part of the road, the Sen
ator said, was around Evansville,
where they have heavy clay roads that
are an abomination to an automobile.
Mr.. Mosher demonstrated his capa-
bility Monday afternoon by giving
some of his fellow Legislators rides
around Madison.

ARM GREW FAST.
One Armed Beggar Arrested Sunday Night
Shows Wonderful Development.

one armed B6ggar Arrested sunday Night
Shows Wonderful Development.
James Moore, claiming to reside in
Omaha, was arrested Sunday night by
Deputy Sheriff Chris Jensen on a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Moore was street beggar, and to all
appearances was short an arm. He
went down Market street during the
evening and managed to secure quite a
little money from people by the dis
play of his infrmity. He finally ran
against the officer, who seemed to be
inclined to doubt, and he at once
placed Moore under arrest on charge
of vagrancy.
When Moore reached the Jail he was
s. ;yshed, and the search revealed the
fact that he had two well-deve1oped
arms. One of them had been bound
down close to his body under his cloth
ing, and to all appearances the arm
had been severed from the body. The
man admitted that he had often prac-
ticed this ruse to secure money from
the unwary.
Moore told such disconnected story
of himself that the officers think it pos
sible that he is wanted in some other
city, and a notice of his arrest has
been sent to the various police depart
ments.

Chief ReinOId and Officer PabSt Arrest
John Wetetnik on a Charge of
Violating Liquor Laws.
MAD BEEN RUN FOR MANY MONTHS
Wetetnik Had Been Doing Land Office
Business In Bottled Beers and Kept
Regular Books For Year.

Chief of Police Reinold and Officer
Paul Pabst raided blind pig Satur-
day night and John Wetetnik, Slavo-
MAN. who is alleged to be the proprie
tor of the place, was landed in jail on
a charge of selling liquor without
license.
Wetetnik runs little clearinghouse
at 317 Wisconsin street and the books
of the house, which we're seized by the
officers, show that for the last year
Wetetnik had been doing a thriving
business in the liquor line. At the
time the raid was made there were
dozen men gathered round table in
the dining room of the house and the
drinks were being served up with great
regularity. Wetetnik dealt entirely ~
bottled beer which was supplied to him
by one of the Kenosha agents Tor
Milwaukee brewery.
The books which we're taken IN
charge by the police showed that the
business was run on the same princi-
pie as a saloon. The books showed
regular entries of beer received and
every boarder had been charged with
large amounts dealt out. 1t is also
claimed that Wetetnik had sold beer to
neiphbors. On all his goods he reaped
golden profits, as the beer offered for
sale was of the very cheapest variety
and the boarders were made to pay the
biggest possible price for it. Wetet-
mix had not even club or a govern
ment license and it is evident that he
had evaded the officers of both the city
and the United States government for
more than ten months.
The police have been watching the
place for a week or more but Wetetn1k,
warned of his danger, had been keep
ing his place pretty quiet. On Satur-
day night the habitues had come to the
conclusion that the police had stopped
the watch on the house and 1t was
merry gang that fell into the drag net
None of the drinkers about the table
were arrested but the names OF all OF
them were taken and they will be
called as witnesses against the propr1-
etor.
It is claimed that in all the foreign
settlements of the city these "blind
pigs" are running regularly and the
police will make an effort to clean
them out. 1t is very difficult for the
officers to get any evidence against the
men as the foreigners are leagued to-
gether and protect the proprietors by
absolute silence.

excellent work in la Tosca,''
"Fedora," "Gismonda," "Theodora,''

Davenport, (his wife, Mr.. Mcdowell
is without question the very best actor
living in these parts. He has in the
character of "Prince Dimitri Nekhlu-
doff,'' in the play, Resurrection"
part that is just suited to his peculiar
gifts. To fit an actor for a part is no
easy task. Some of our best actors go
for years without being able to strike
the particular play that is suited to
them. This has been Mr.. MacDowe11's
trouble for several years. He has read
hundreds of manuscripts in quest of a
character, but without avail, until the
great To1stoy gave to the world his
masterpiece, Resurrection. - Mr..
Mcdowell has secured the finest COM
pany that has ever been in his support.
He has no less than four leading men
each of whom play the star parts in
various productions during the regular
season. The entire company is a very
excellent one. Much beautiful scenery
and many startling mechanical con-
trivances are employed, and all in all,
very smooth and excellent perform
ance may be looked for. Miss Florence
Stone, the leading lady, is young
lady of long and varied experience,
and in the character of Maslova is at
her best.

RACINE GETS PUSSY.

Interstate League Magnates Asked to Re-
prove Kenosha For Signing Hermann.
Poor old soreheaded Racine, worry
ing over the fact that Kenosha has a
frs. class baseball team this year, has
begun to butt in and the Interstate
League will be asked by the Racine
manager to reprove, rebuke and roast
the manager Of the Kenosha team be-
cause he has signed Hermann as a
catcher.
It's true that Hermann is resident
Of Racine, but often circumstances
force men to live in places which they
would prefer to cast off the official
map. Hermann also played ball for
the Racine team at one time and was
the best player on the team. He
played with the Racine team last sea-
son and is still connected with the
team as creditor, but notwithstand-
irg this fact Brother Armstrong de.
cided that Hermann was not to his lik.
ing and cast him off this year. Allie.
AAoh a. OuCC saw A1S O10ANC w SC
cure the best catcher in Southern
Wisconsin and signed him with Keno
sha. Hermann was given the salary
limit and his expenses and on this
point the Racine team has raised a
howl, claiming that Hermann is being
paid too much. Hermann is satisfied
to play with the Kenosha team and, in
ia t, has absolutely refused to wear a
Rhine uniform.
There is no probability that Arm
strong will be able to secure the release
of Hermann and he will play with the
Kenosha team for the rest of the sea-
son.

PLAYED TEN MEN
KenOsha Team Loses to Marquettes ON Ac-
count of Unfair Decisions
Standing of the Interstate league:
Results Yesterday.

Kenosha dropped another notch in
Interstate League race Sunday when
they lost game to the Marquettes Of
Chicago, by score of six to four after
as pretty game as has been seen'in
Kenosha for many day.
By all the rules of the game Kenosha
should have had the winning score
but the Marquette team had tenth
man in the field by the name of
Stein. Someone sometime told Stein
that he had the making Of base ball
umpire in him, but the information
was far from correct. Stein may not
have meant to be crooked but he did
most unfair umpiring ever seen on
Kenosha diamond, and he was lucky
70 escape from the city without the
people laying violent hands on him.
Both the Marquettes and the Kenosha
players recognized the injustice done
by Stein, and both admitted that had
the umpire been fair, the Kenosha
team would not of dropped down the
ladder. The umpire narrowly escaped
being mobbed, and had it not been for
the joint protection of the members of
the two teams, the crowd would have
assaulted she man after the game was
over. If he ever attempts to umpire
on the Kenosha field again, there will
probably be trouble of most serious
nature for Mr.. Stein.
The Kenosha team put up one of the
best games of the year, and the crowd
of twelve hundred people that witness
ed the game, gave the Kenosha boys
credit for victory. Rank decisions of
the umpire were sufficient to give the
game to the visitors. Ballet pitched
mastery game, and he had the united
support of the team. Kaukilik was
effective at times, but the Kenosha
boys managed to get nine clean hits.
The scoring started in the fourth in
ming, when Schoo1ey sent hot liner
out to deep right field and scored few
minutes later on hit by Hanks.
When the Marquettes canse to bat in
the same inning Umpire Stein got in
his work, and although the Kenosha
players managed to make beautiful
double play he refused to see it that
way, and the Marquettes made two
runs. Aided by another rank decision
the Marquettes added one in the fifth
then two in the seventh, and clinched
the game with one in the ninth.
The Kenosha team took batting
rally and scored twice in the eighth
and made hard effort to win out in
the ninth. With one man scored Ebert
sent out hit which he attempted TO
stretch into two-bagger, and he was
caught on second-according to Mr..
Stein. This cut off all hope for Keno
sha's winning the game.
