The letter of President Arnold on
the street railway situation, published
in this paper yesterday, is an able
document in its way. but it betrays
the fact that the president of the
railway company is not very familiar
with the conditions that have existed
here for the past year or more. Mr.
Arnold should know that UP until last
Saturday his so-called especial" cars
carried no marks to distinguish them
from the regular" cars and that the
plan of refusing transfers on these
especial" cars has been worked for
over year to the great profit of the
company. He expresses surprise that
the criticisms of his company should
be Chased upon so little grounds as
the contention that the road is not
issuing transfers. What would Mr.
Arnold consider a reasonable length
Of time for the public to submit to the
exactions of his company without
entering a protest Hundreds and
thousands of our people have been
mu1cted for double fares in the last
year by the Especial car scheme and
most of US think it is time to call a
halt on it. Even under the opinion
of the company's own attorney the
company has no right to the extra
fares it collected for over a year be-
fore it's cars were labeled especial, =
aud as matter Of fact the so-called
Especial" cars are regular cars and run
as near to fixed schedule as any cars
on the line. Mr.. Arnold contends that
the company is we'll within it's
rights, not only legally but morally,
if it sees fit to operate the road with
out the use Of transfer Slips" mean
| g by that, we presume, to defend the
actions of his company in refusing to
issue any transfers at all on its spec
ia1 cars, for that is what his argu-
ment amounts to. He may be right as
to the law in the case. The opinion
of Chas. Quarles that he can do as
he p1eases if he marks his cars s'spec-
ia1' carries great weight, and the
decision of a court on the law in the
case might be against the people.
However that may be, now is the time
to find out just where we stand in the
matter. If the people have any rights
under the ordinance they want to know
it. As to his moral right, he hasn't
any. We all know and Mr.. Arnold
ought to know that it was never the
intention Of the representative Of the
city to so word the ordinance under
which his company operates as to give
him the right to charge two fares
for one trip at any time OF under
any circumstances. They would
never have given him any such fran
chise and he knows it. He may have
the legal right to take advantage of
the wording of the ordinance to
charge two fares, but he has no moral
right to do it.

In is a little CALLING for the men
who contended that President Arnold
should receive fair and generous
treatment from the city after his first
franchise had been knocked out by
the Supreme court and his invest
ments here rendered worthless to have
to listen in silence to the II told you
SO, which greets them on every side
since the present row with the street
railway company broke out. The
company's men sang an entirely diff
ferent tune in those days than they do
now. This ''the public be damned"
attitude which is so noticeable at
present was conspicuous by its alb
sence then. We all live and learn,
though, and if the whole thing had to
be done over again it is a certainty
that the transfer clause Of the fran
chise would be fixed so that there
wou1d never be a chance for any dis
agreement over it.

that the annual tournament of the as

Several new clubs have been ad-

THIS fight with the street railway
company is only another illustration
of the fact that our hindsight is so
much better than our foresight. Does
anybody think for moment that
there would have been any quibbling
over this question of transfers if the
matter had been brought up at the
time Mr.. Arnold was an applicant for
a franchise? We rather guess not.

The city electrician of Ga1esburg
has just made report on the business
done by the municipal lighting plant
of that city which is highly encour-
aging to other cities which are con-
tenplating establishing similar
plants. The report shows that dur
ing the last year Ga1esburg operated
two hundred and fifty-three street
lamps at an average cost Of $51.34 a
lamp which is much less than the
charge formerly made to the city by
a private company. The municipal
lighting plant of Galesburg was es-
tab1ished four years ago and in that
time has saved the city thousands Of
dollars. What has been done in Gales
bury can be done in this city as Keno
sha is in an exceptionally favorable
position to make an experiment in
municipal lighting, for our plant
would be run in conjunction with the
water company at considerable saw
ing in operating expenses.

The people of Kenosha have no de-

Either it is their right to have them
or it is not and the purpose is to find

Quarles Defines Rights.


The action of the company IN bring
ing suit against the city and the
mayor is based on a written opinion
of Attorney Charles Quarles, of Mil
waukee, which was submitted to Mr..
Arnold on Wednesday afternoon. In
this opinion Attorney Quar1es takes
up the matter at length and gives an
opinion in favor of the company on
every point.
In his opinion Mr.. Quar1es states
that the city has no rights under the
franchise ordinance to delnand print
ed transfers from the corlpany, but
states that the company is forced to
transfer passengers.
He also sides with the Company in
the matter. of running extra cars and
states that the company has this
right.
Of course the opinion Of Mr.. Ouar1es
will carry just the weight that the
opinion of any company's attorney
carries.
Secretary Arnold returned to Chi
cago this morning, and it is probable
that there will be no more action
taken in the matter by either side
until the case has found all ADJUST
ment in the courts.

II took considerable moral courage
for Mayor German to commence the
fight against the Street Car company
OF his own responsibility, but he
knows now that he has the backing Of
the whole city in his efforts to force
the company to give the people the
transfers to which they are clearly
entitled under the railway company S
franchise. When this fight is over the
people will know exactly where they
stand and what measures, if any. are
necessary to protect themselves from
the'exactions Of the company. May
or German, however, is confident that
President Arnold of the company, will
see the folly Of opposing the people
in this matter and give them their
rights, and he has no fears for the
final outcome of the present 'unp1eas-
antness.' 1t will take the company
a good while as it is to live down the
nnfavorable sentiment created by its
refusal to treat the public fairly id
the matter Of transfers, and if it ex-
poets it's business to be as profitable
in the future as it has been in the past
it will do well to take that fact into
consideration.

Arnold is Not Coming.

B. J. Arnold, the president Of the
company, was not in the city today,
and r. G. Arnold, the secretary of
the company, who represented him,
stated that there was little reason to
believe that Mr.. Arnold would come
to Kenosha. He stated that Mr.. Ar
mold had not been here in fifteen
months. However, he arrived in Chi
cago yesterday and is directing the
fight from that point.
Mr.. Arnold made no denial of the
fact that B. j. Arnold had refused to
come to Kenosha on account of the
fact that he had been threatened with
service Of suit for $50, 900, brought
by Haynes and C1aussen, who former
~ acted as promoters for the COM
pany. 1t is known that this suit is
now pending and the plaintiffs attor-
neys have for some time sought SER
vice on President Arnold.

Demands Damages.

The suit, which is Of the usual form
for civil action, demands damages
from the city, the mayor and the chief
of police to the amount of $1,000, the
company contending that their inter
ests in Kenosha have been damaged
to this extent by the action Of the
mayor in stopping the cars.
There are a whole lot of prelimin-
aries in the complaint, in which the
details of the organization of the
company and the passage Of the fran
chise are recounted, and then the
stopping of the cars was taken up and
it was alleged that the mayor had
stopped the plaintiffs in the action by
force and that he was still threaten
ing to prevent the operation of the
cars.
The summons in the action is re
turnab1e in twenty days, and by that
time the city will have an answer
ready. 1t is not possible for the suit
to come up for a hearing in the circuit
court before the June term.

Street Railway Company Brings
Suit Against Officials and City
and Cars Move Again.
FIGHT BROUGHT TO COURTS
The Company Asks Damages to the
Amount Of $4,000 in Suit Against
the City, the Mayor and the
Chief Of Police.

The second day of the fight for the
rights of the people in regard to the
operation Of the Street Railway com
pany's cars finds the cars running
again, as Court Commissioner Cav
anagh last night issued an Injunction
to prevent the mayor and the chief Of
police from interfering with the oper-
alton Of the cars. The injunction is
based on suit brought by the com
pany against The City Of Kenosha,
James German, Mayor, andsChief Of
Police Reinold.
The summons in the suit, together
with the injunction of the court COM
missioner, was served on Mayor Cor
man just before midnight last night
and a half an hour alter the cars
made the regular circuit to the car
barn.
The suit is brought by Quarles,
Spence & Quarles as attorneys for the
company, and the papers in the action
we're made out late Wednesday after
noon.
r. G. Arnold, secretary Of .the COM
pany, came to Kenosha late Wednes-
day afternoon with the summons and
complaint, and as soon as possible
the matter was taken before the court
commissioner.
Mayor German had been advised
that the company would take some
action before the night was over, and
for this reason he had remained down
town waiting the service Of the in
junction. AS soon as the injunction
was served the mayor bowed to the
order Of the court and made no further
effort to prevent the operation of the
line.
This suit will bring the matter firm
~ before the courts and there will be
a chance to discover just what rights
the citizens may have in the fight.
