factory to Old Members.
MANY DECIDE TO LEAVE ORDER
More Than Half a Hundred go to Racine
to Hear the Explanation of w. A.
Robinson Sent out by the
Supreme Council.

More than half hundred of the
members of the Kenosha Council of
the Royal Arcanum went to Racine
Friday evening to listen to an aad-
dress by w. A. Robinson, of ST..
Louis, a member of the Supreme
Council of the order. 1t was thought
that this address would set the mem
bers right and have a tendency to
pour oil on the troubled waters,
brought about by the recent raise in
the rates of the order. Nearly all of
the men attending from Kenosha were
from the ranks of the older members,
and these men state this morning that
the address of the member of the SUI
preme Council has not aided material
1y, and nearly all of the members
over SO years old are expected to
either reduce the insurar &c carried in
the order or else withdr
The Racine council ha1 planned for
the initiation of $50 members, but the
change in the rates to members had
left the Arcanurn business in such an
unsettled state, that Judge Be1den,
who is leading member of the Ra-
cine council, insisted that limitations
should await the settlement of the
present, For this reason
there was no initiation.
In speaking of the changes in the
rates, Mr.. Robinson stated that it had
been found absolutely necessary for
the order to increase its revenues, as
the amounts received under the old
plan were not sufficient to meet the
demands for death benefits and the
expenses of the order. He stated
that the present schedule of rates,
proposed to go into effect the 1st OF
next October, had been figured out
from a scientific and mathematical
standpoint, and that they were alb
so1ute1y just. He referred to the
work of the Supreme Council, and in
sisted that there were absolutely no
grounds for the charges of misman-
agement which had been made by
| some of the older members.
| During the. evening there was a

TO REBUILD LINES.
Citizens Telegraph and TeIe-
phone Company to Make
Many Changes.
MORE LINES IN THE COUNTRY

The Citizens Telegraph and Te1e-
phone company is planning for COM
plete overhauling of the lines of the
company, and the work will be started
within the next two or three weeks.
The entire system will be overhauled
and many changes made. Cables will
be strung on Pomeroy and Elizabeth
streets and on Milwaukee avenue,
and in this way many overhead wires
will be done away with. The COM
pany will also increase the under
ground wire system by stretching new
cables in the conduits now laid. The
stretching of the new cable will
largely increase the facilities of the
company.
Manager Mi1ligan states that this
improvement was made necessary on
account of the big increase 10 bust
ness. More than 1000 phones are
now in operation in the city and it is
claimed that the growth of the bust
ness of the company is almost without
a precedent in the state.
Added to the changes in the lines
OF the company within the limits of
the city, the company is planning to
build new lines in the county, and
will seek to get connection with the
different farmers lines which are now
going up both in Pleasant Prairie and
in the western towns of the county.
It's the intention of the managers to
have all of this work completed before
the end of the present summer.
1t seems that the deal for the sale
of the exchange to a local company
has fallen through, but it is said that
the men interested are still consider
ing the proposition.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1905-06-29

rapid fire of questions at the speaker.
One of the leaders of the Arcanum-
ties of Kenosha suggested to him that
if it was absolutely necessary to
have more money it would have been
better for the Supreme Council to
have arranged for horizontal raise
in all of the rates, but the national
officer declared that this would be a
hardship to the younger members.
The matter was left in this unsatis-
factory way and the old men of the
Kenosha council were far from recon
ciled. They announced, however,
that they would remain swith the So
ciety until the first of October, when
the change in rates goes into effect.
Interviews with leading members
show that they are planning to drop
the insurance after that time.
