Milwaukee Light and Traction
Magnate Finally Gets
Kenosha Stock
BUYS HOLDINGS OF BIGELoW
Stock in the Company is Sold at SEQ a
Share-Beggs' Holdings are "Only
aDrop in the cket'-ControI-
ling Stock is Owned Here.

John !. Beggs, president Of the Mil
waukee Light, Heat & Traction COM
pany, and practical owner of the Gas
and Electric Lighting companies in
Racine, has invaded Kenosha, and
after years Of effort he has secured
an interest in the Kenosha Gas &
Electric company. Thursday in Mil
waukee he purchased for $4,000 the
stock in the Kenosha concern which
was formerly held by Frank G. Bige-
low, the defau1ting president Of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee.
Beggs was the only bidder for the
stock, and it is claimed that the ar
rangement had been made to sell the
stock to him, The stock was pre-
ferred stock, and a portion of the
100000 preferred stock issued by the
company. It was sold to the First
ally, and Bige1ow secured his owner
ship through the bank. Some time
ago it was announced that the stock
was to be sold, and Roger Kimba11,
the manager for the Kenosha plant,
went to Milwaukee to purchase it and
found that it could not be purchased.
Beggs seems to have had an agree
ment with Bige1ow in regard to the
stock before the latter went into bank
ruptcy, and it is supposed that this
deal largely influenced the sale Of the
stock.
AS an investment the stock is a
good thing, as in the last five years
the company has paid dividend of
five per cent on the preferred stock at
par value. This would yield Beggs
nearly ten per cent on his money, if
the company continues to pay the div
idends.
AT the Office of the Gas company
this morning Manager Kimba11 stated
that he could not see through the
plan of Beggs in purchasing the
stock in the Kenosha concern. He
admitted that Mr.. Beggs had been
seeking interests in Kenosha for
some time, but thus far the company
had no knowledge Of stock being
transferred to him. There is $1,000
worth of stock that may be in the
hands of Mr.. Beggs, but this is far
from controlling interest in the
plant, and the other stock is so held
that it would be almost impossible for
Beggs to get the control. On the
other hand the majority of the stock
holders of the Company are in de-
cidedly eligible central position to
freeze Mr.. Beggs out at any time they
may see fit.
The capital stock of the company is
100000, and the common stock
amounting to 100000 has a voting
value. This stock is nearly all held
by Kenosha people.
In connection with the purchase of
the stock by Mr.. Beggs it is limited
that he is acting for parties interested
in the gas and electric syndicate
which has control of the franchises
in towns sa1ong the lake shore south
of Kenosha, and it is possible that
this company is looking for footing
in Kenosha. It was generally
thought that the stock of the COM
pany was valued considerably above
par, butsthe manager explains the low
cost Of the stock by the reason that
none of it is on the market.

by the latter part Of the week it is ex-
pected that all will have been re-
turned to their new quarters.

GARFIELD
GOES AFTER
BEEF TRUST
Personal Inquiry to
Be Conducted in
Chicago.
Special Dispatch to IN. Call.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Following the
charges made by Attorney General
Moody that the packers were in a con-
spiracy to control the market of the ma
tion for fresh meat, 1t was learned to-
day that Secretary Garfield of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor is
coming to Chicago to begin an investi-
cation In person. The packers are much
agitated over the news.
1t is said Secretary Garfield is. anx-
ious to have the Federal courts pass
on the question of whether he can COM
pei the packers to produce their. books
and submit to- direct examination on
the witness stand as to the methods
they follow in business.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of Swift & Co. to-day Presi-
dent Lewis F. Swift said:
1T Is needless for me to say to those
present, who are more or less familiar
with the facts, that the reports in cir
culation about the beef trust are
without foundation. There is absolute
ly no conspiracy or combination to con-
troll either the purchase of livestock OR
the sale of meats or packing house
products. On the other hand. the pack
ing industry is subject to the severest
kind of competition. both in buying
and selling, and the per cent of profit
on sales in the packing industry is less
than in other lines of business lust
now"

CoURT-MARTIAL FOR sToEssEL
Announcement Arouses Indignation of
Russian Populace.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 5.-Few
aroused more bitter criticism than
the blunt announcement, officially is
sued by the General Staff, that Cen
eral Stoessel will have to come home
and stand court-martial for surrend-
ering the fortress of Port Arthur.
While this is an ancient regulation
and quite according to law, it is Bit
terly resented on all sides that such
an announcement should have been
gratuitously made in the same bull
letin containing General Stoesseps ap-
peal to the Emperor for "lenient
Judgment on a garrison reduced to
shadows, who have done all that was
possible for human beings to uphold

BY all means let US have a court-martial
and make it. II possible. severe. The cruel
Judge will. perhaps. deal lenientiy with those
who have given their blood and lives for their
country. Perhaps, also, the court VIII deter

with blockade is not supplied with necessary
Perhaps such court Will bring to light many
dark. hidden things and expose the creeping,
underground enemies OF Russia who are In
hnitely more dangerous to the nation than

There is no definite information
here regarding General Stoesseps con-
dition, but it has been public gossip
for some time that he is suffering
from cancer.

CONGRESS-
BALKS The
PRESIDENT.
No Railroad Rate
Legislation at
Present.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU. POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Railroad rate
LEGISLATION is dead, SO far as the pres
ent session of Congress is concerned.
It was said by leaders in both branches
to-day that nothing could be done. no
matter how much President Roosevelt
may desire 1t or how much he may
urge It.
The collapse of the campaign for gov
ernment supervision of railroad rates
takes away from the present session
the only real live question which prom
ised at one time to keep Congress agf-
tated. When the President gave up all
hone of having something done in the
line of tariff revision, he had reason to
believe something might be accom-
plished in railroad legislation. But this
has now gone the way Of tariff revi-
sion.
The present situation has been
brought about by an utter failure to
come to an agreement on the form of
legislation. The belief was expressed,
both in administration circles and in
Congress, that something should be
done at once to remedy the evil point
ed out in the Presidents message, but
only on this point was there any agree
ment When it came to methods, not to
say the phraseology of the bill to be
presented, there were almost as many
different views as members of the
Cabinet and leaders in Congress.
Senator Ellxins had another confer
ence with the President to-day, but on
coming from the White House he
would not say that there was any
chance for action on a railroad bill in
the near future.
