George Devany, Of St. Louis, Would
Unite All the Railways in County
With Offices Here.
SEEKS INFLUENTIAL MEN TO AID.
Floods the City With Literature In Pro-
noting His Great Scheme. Supposed to
Be q Dreamer of Approved Type.

George DeVany, of ST. Louis, a
drea u1er of dreams, is making an
elaborate plan to invade Kenosha
county and is seeking to secure the aid
of men Of influence in the city to Sc
cure means for the furthering of his
schemes.
The exact brand of ''dope' used by
DeVany is not known but he is evi.
IDENTITY laboring under some haluciua-
ton. Many of the city officials in the
city have received letters from DeVany
in which he announces that he is plan
ming to form union of all the railway
interests in Kenosha county and that
he is now organizing a Kenosha com
pany to take possession of the inter
ests when they have been properly
orga nized He has not considered
that the great corporation now in
charge of the different routes of trans,
portation and claims to be well backed
financially FOR the grand coup. He is
not asking the Kenosha men to take
stock in the proposed railway trust but
on the other hand he is Offering to give
generously of the paper of the concern
for the influence which the backing of
these men will bring TO the deal.
A name of city official isreckoned
by DeVany as valued at about twelve
thousand dollars and this sum is to be
increased TO forty thousand dollars
when the mobilization Ia completed.
Incidentally DeVany is candidate for
president and he is using the scheme
for the union of the railways to boost
the candidacy. The men whom he has
addressed in Kenosha have been
authorized to promise the people that
when the union is formed all fares will
be two cents in the cities and even
lower fares will be granted to the
farmers of the county.
The officials have been asked to refer
the matter to the City Council and De.
Vaney is expecting to have his first
startin Wisconsin at the Kenosha city
hall. The men who have received the
letters have considered the man freak
and have, of course, paid no attention
to them. The scheme outlined by De-
Vany to secure possession of the roads
is an interesting one and one wholly
worthy of the brain of a Sherlock
Holmes.
DeVany will be remembered as the
man who recently wrote to the mayor
seeking his aid to collect mythical
claim of 100000 which DeVany held
held against Kenosha lawyer. The
claim is not included as one of the as
sets of the proposed great union of
railway interests.
