Trouble in the KenOsha POst0ffiCe
Threatens to Touch Officials Who
Are High in Authority.
ARREST FOR DEPOSED CARRIER.
W. X. Harrison Arrested on Petty Charge
Fight for His Alleged Rights

The suspension of William Rouse
Harrison as mail carrier promises to
bring about an investigation which
will lay bare all the secrets of the ke-
nosha office, and if statements now be-
ing made are true the investigation
will be of a sensational nature includ-
ing every one in the post Office, from
Postmaster Frantz down to the boy
who acts in the capacity of messenger.
The fight between Carrier Harrison,
who is on the suspended list, and the
other men in the Office is now on in
earnest and it will be fight to the
finish. The latest development in the
case came on Tuesday afternoon when
Harrison was arrested on a complaint
made by Mail Carrier L. N. DeDiemar,
who charges him with profane and
abusive language.
Harrison refused to plead guilty to
the charge and the case has been con-
tinued. In the meantime Harrison,
who is president of the local branch of
the Mail Carriers Union, has written
to the president Of the National Union
and has asked the assistance of the
National officers in his fight for his
alleged rights in the matter.
Harrison claims that he has been
mistreated in the matter, and makes
counter charges right and left in re-
gard to other men in the Office. He
claims that the charges that have been
made against him will apply in cases
of other carriers in the Office, and
states that if the charges are pushed
he will demand the fullest investiga-
ton from the Post Office department.
He admits that feud has existed be-
tween himself and DeDiemar for two
years, and insists that the present
trouble is wholly the result of this
trouble between the two carriers. He
makes charges of favoritism against
members of the local force, and claims
that his removal is the result of con-
spiracy.
Post Master Frantz has assumed a
dignifed position in the matter, and is
leaving the adjustment of the trouble
to the higher officials Of the depart
ment. He insists that the removal of
Harrison is necessary in order to make
discipline in the Office possible.
The charges have just been forward
ed to Washington, and it will be sew
eral weeks before the matter is taken
up. The other employees of the Office
are watching the developments with
intense interest.

THE statement of the Strike Com
mission on the question of the right of
every man to choose his own occupa-
ton and to work on his own terms
should be read by every union man in
the country. Regarding the freedom
of the individual citizen the Commits
sion says:
at is admitted that this disorder and
lawlessness was incident to the strike.
Its history is stained with a record of
riot. and bloodshed, eliminating in
three murders, unprovoked save by the
fact that two of the victims were as
sorting their right to work, and an
other, as an officer of the law, was per-
forming his duty in attempting to pre-
serve the peace.
"Men who chose to be employed, or
who remained at work, were assailed
and threatened and they'Eand their
families terrorized and intimidated. In
several instances the houses of such
workmen were dynamited or otherwise
assaulted, and the lives of unofending
women and children put in jeopardy.
'Our language is thellanguage of
free people and fails to furnish any
form of speech by which the right of
citizen to work when he pleases, for
whom he pleases, and on what terms
he pleases, can be successfully denied.
The common sense of our people, as
we'll as the common law, forbids that
this right should be- assaulted with i'm
purity. 1t is vain to say that the man
who remains at work while others
cease to work, or takes the place of
one who has abandoned his,work, helps
to defeat the aspirations of men who
seek to obtain bettersrecompense for
their labor aud better conditions of
life. Approval of the object of
strike, or persuasion that its purpose is
high and noble, cannot sanction any
attempt to destroy the right of others
TO different opinion in this respect or
to interfere with their conduct IN
choosing to work upon what terms and
at what time and for whom it may
please them to do so.
made to depend upon the approval or
disapproval of the personal character
and conduct of those who claim to ex-
ercise this right. If this were other
wise then those who remain at work
might, if they were in the majority,
have both the right and power to pre-
vent others, who choose to cease to
work, from so doing.
This all seems too plain for argu-
ment Common sense and common
law alike denounce the conduct of those
who interfere with this fundamental
right of the citizens. Tie assertion of
the right seems trite and commonplace
but that land is blessed where the
maxims of liberty are commonplaces."

H. A. COOPER, who as Chairman Of
the House committee on insular affairs
is ia a better position to pass judg-
meut on the work done in our far of
possessions than any other member OF
Congress, in recent interview with a
Washington correspondent gave the
following resume of the many and
lasting benefits conferred upon the
Philippine Islands by the United
States:
cit freed them from the tyranny of
Spain.
1t saved them from civil war and
anarchy, and from seizure and divi-
sion by the great powers.
1t preserved the possibility of Fill
pino government; for, as we declared
by the Schurman commission, it is
only through American occupation
that the idea of a self-governing, free,
united Philippine commonwealth is at
all conceivable.
1t has established civil government
In thirty-seven provinces and in more
than 800 municipalities.
1t has by law made provision for the
greatly needed development of the
rich resources of the islands, and for
securing to them a currency based
upon the gold standard, in harmony
with the money systems of the great
commercial nations.
But of all the helpful things done for
the archipelago by the United States,
it is plain to me that the bill of rights
and the provision for Philippine as
sembly are of by far the most profound,
the lone object of mans struggles,
toi1ings, and suffering in this earth.''
The bill of rights "a the act of July /,
1902, is to every Filipino guaranty of
personal freedom, and the provision
1or Philippine assembly promise of
self-government. Together these con.
stitute pledge by this great republic
the most powerful of nations-to the
people of the Philippines otherwise so
defenseless, that their liberties and
those of their descendants are forever
secure.
Nothing in the past, nothing which
the future may reveal, can be more i'm.
portant than this to the people of the
Philippine islands,"

SNYDER FOR MAYOR.
Former Kenosha Editor Is Nominated by
the Democrats of Racine for Mayor.

Former Kenosha Editor Is Nominated by
the Democrats of Racine for Mayor.
Clarence Snyder, formerly one of
the editors Of the old Kenosha Tele-
graph and a man we'll known in this
city, was last night nominated for the
Office of Mayor by the Democrats of
the Belle City.
Mr.. Snyder has been nominated on a
reform platform and if he is elected at
the coming Spring election some great
changes are expected at the city build
ing in Racine.
Mr.. Snyder announced his candidacy
and platform some time ago, and while
it does not provide for closing saloons
or stopping gambling or anything of
this sort, it is platform of municipal
Improvement. Mr.. Snyder promises
the people to keep the streets clean, to
build new parks and secure new
breathing places for the city, to beau.
tify the city and secure at the earliest
possible date municipal ownership of
water works and and electric lights.
The platform Of Mr.. Snyder is good
one and it would be good thing if the
reforms suggested by him could be
carried out.
The Republicans have not as yet
made nomination and it is very prob
able that Mr.. Snyder will have a hard
fight before he affxes the title of
"Mayor' to his name.

MORE PEOPLE BITTEN.
Mad Dogs Continue Their Ravages In Diff

ferent Parts of the City.
Notwithstanding the fact that dogs
are being muzzled the ravages of mad
dogs are still being reported to the
police and three people were bitten
last night and this morning.
The most seriously wounded was
John Nagel, we'll known Swiss citi-
zen, who was bitten by a dog belong
ing to Patrick Cunningham. Nagel
was passing the house when the dog
jumped over the fence and attacked
him. The dog tore the mans coat to
shreds and planted his teeth in the
mans leg, making an ugly wound an
inch long.
Nagel was taken to the Office of DR..
William M. Farr who cauterized the
wound.
Just after 6 O'Clock last night the
police were notified that two children
had been bitten by poodle dog which
was running about West Main street.
The names of the children could not be
obtained but one of them, boy, was
bitten in the arm and a little girl was
bitten on the hand. The police made
an effort to kill the dog but he escaped.

CHICKS ARE RETURNED.
Benedict & Co. Fail to Honor Certificates
for Stock Sent in Yesterday.

Benedict Co. Fail to Honor Certificates
for Stock Sent in Yesterday.
The end of Benedict & Co. seems to
be approaching with lightning rapid
ity and yesterday afternoon one of the
local banks received back from the
company certificates of stock to the
extent of $50.
These certificates of stock had been
placed in the bank by Kenosha people
for collection and they were sent to
the regular agents of the!bank both in
Chicago and South Bend, Ind, the
present home of the turf investing
concern. In the return of the certifi-
Gates the company made no statement
in regard to the refusal to pay more
than the bare fact that the bank was
unable to make the collection.
The investors have received a notice
that it will be impossible for the COM
pany to cash any of these certificates
until after April /, aud it is proba BILE
that before that time the Kenosha
investors will make raid on the main
office of the concern and either secure
settlement of claims or force the
company into the courts.
The bankers when interviewed ad-
mitted that the certificates had been
returned unpaid but they positively
refused to give out the names of the
investors who had sought to recover
their money in this manner.
1t is claimed that many certificates
have been placed in Kenosha banks
for collection and that the total amount
of tine certificates held here is larger
than before the recent decay of the
power of the "get-rich-quick" con-
Germs. The failure of Benedict & Co.
would undoubtedly mean the loss of
thousands of dollars to Kenosha people.

Manager Grant and His Wife are Ready
to Receive the Dependents
at the New Home.
A NEW OUTFIT IS PURCHASED.
Pauper Committee Fits up the Rooms With
Entirely New Furniture Barton
Bullard the First Inmate,

The poor farm is now completely in
the control of the city, and Superinten-
dent Robert Grant is now settled and
ready to receive the wards of the city.
The dependents will be taken out dur
ing the present week as fast as the
different rooms in the house can be
put in order for them. Barton Billiard,
who is now in the county jail on
charge of intoxication, will be the first
inmate. Barton has always had a
longing for farm life, and he will be
given chance to farm to his hearts
content.
Mayor Pfennig and Alderman Green
valid of the Pauper committee, went
shopping Monday afternoon, and laid
in supply of new furniture for the
rooms. Not bit of the old furniture
will be taken to the new house, but
| neat little iron beds have been bought
with new mattresses and bed cloth
ing for each of them, and all of the
other furnishing will be new.
The com mittee has arranged to di-
vide the men and women by placing
the men in the second story rooms and
the women below. The bed rooms will
be made neat and clean, but carpets
and knick knacks will not be supplied
to brighten the lives of the dependents,
and if these are put in they must be
supplied by private charity. The ex-
pense of fitting up the house will be
reduced to the minimum by the Mayor
and the committee, but it is their pur-
pose to see that everything is neat and
clean, and suitable for the living quar-
tiers of human beings. The furniture.
at the old poor house will probably be
taken out and either sold or burned.
It is evident that the poor farm will
be pretty we'll crowded, and the COM
mittee is already beginning to plan
for an addition to the house. At the
present time the building will accom-
modate about ten people, but it is pos
sib1e that dozen could be put in by
doubling up little. The selection of
the extra people has not as yet been
made, but eight inmates will be taken
from the poor house and the other peo-
pie who are expected to live at the
farm will be selected from the list of
people receiving the most help from the
city.
In leaving the old shack on the Is
land Mrs. Pabst, who has served the
city faithfully as Matron for a number
of years, asks to have herself set right
before the people of the city. The fact
that the old house was dirty was no
fault of the Matron, and those people
who have visited the tidy rooms on the
| first floor of the old building can see
this plainly. Mrs. Pabst states that
there are bugs in the upper floor, but
that it was impossible to help this, as
| the inmates took care of their own
rooms and they could not be kept free
from vermin.
In retiring from the employ of the
| city Mrs. Pabst deserves a vote OF
thanks from the entire city for her
! long and faithful service.

FAVOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Mems Club at the Congregational Church
Have an Interesting Meeting.

Mems Club at the Congregational Church
Have an Interesting Meeting.
Kenosha people are in favor of mu-
nicipa1 ownership and this fact was
shown at debate on the question
held at a meeting of the Mems club of
the Congregational church Tuesday
evening.
There was large crowd at the meet
ing and after the usual monthly din
ner was over debate on the subject of
municipal ownership took up the re-
mainder of the evening. A. E. Buck
master and Mayor Charles Pfennig
led the fight in favor of owning the
public utilities, and Frank Slosson and
former Alderman G. H. Curtis led
the fight against the question.
The water works was cited as a
brilliant example of what municipal
ownership could do and the speakers
on the affirmative side of the question
urged that the city would be greatly
benefited if the Electric Lights and
Street railway systems were under the
control of the municipality. After the
debate was over other members of the
club took hand in the discussion and
F. W. Bowen presented an argument
against municipal ownership showing
that the cities could not tell what
would be the outcome Of the city own
ing the different plants. It was also
brought forward that politics were
liable to getin control of the different
plants and interfere with the success
ful operation of them.
Judge Slosson and DR.. Clapp also
made remarks during the discussion.
The decision of the guests at the din
ner was decidedly in favor of munich
pal ownership. The meeting proved
to be one of the most profitable and in
teresting ever held by the club.

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Professor Donnelly Shows How to De-
VeIOp Muscles.


Professor Joseph Donnelly, who is
known throughout the country as a
physical instructor and conductor of
clubs, arrived in the city today and
began the demonstrating of the
WHITLEY Exerciser" in the show win
dow of w. H. Robinson's store.
The exerciser is in the form of an
elastic apparatus, requiring some little
strength in its operation. It is highly
recommended for the use of everyone
desiring to build up their physical
being. Mr.. Dopnel1y shows how to
use the exerciser. He is glad to talk
upon all matters pertaining to physi-
cal culture, and will be very pleased to
meet the people of the city. He has
been instructor in some of the best
athletic clubs of the country, and was
physical director of the Kansas City
Athletic Club and the Nashville Ath-
1etic Club.
He has considerable note as wrest-
Ter and though not in the professional
class he has bested some of the we'll
known artists in this line before the
public today.
