Chicago and Milwaukee Railway
Co., Starts an Action in the
Court for Right Of Way
LESS THAN A MILE is LACKING
John Balm Jr., and Matthias Stahl Jr.,
Named as Defendants in Petition
Filed With the Clerk of the Cir
cult Court This Morning

The Chicago and Milwaukee Rail
way company has decided to take the
bull by the horns, and peaceful efforts
to secure the remaining right of way
through Kenosha county have been
followed with a petition in the circuit
court to condemn the property needed
to complete the right of way Of the
company through the southern end of
the county.
Some time ago it was announced
that all the right of way save that
through the property of John Balm,
Jr., and Matthias Stah1, Jr., had been
secured and since that time the COM
pany's attorneys have been making
an effort to purchase this right of way
without the necessity of appealing to
the courts. These efforts have been
unsuccessful and Judge Be1den has
sent notice to the court stating that
a hearing on the petition for con
domination will be heard at the court
house on the morning Of Aug. %.
With the order to the original petition
for condemnation signed by Fayette
S. Munro, the attorney for the COM
pany, has been filed for record.
The amount Of property in question
is exceedingly small. Under. the pro-
visions of the state law for the build
ing Of railways the company demands
the right to take for railway purposes
a strip 100 feet in width through each
farm. The right of way through the
Balm farm is about 200 rods in length,
while that through the Stah1 property
is half as long. In setting the stakes
for the road the line was designed to
run pretty close to the buildings on
each farm and this has caused the
disagr as to the price to be
paid for the land. Many conferences
sentatives Of the farmers and the COM
pany but the farmers seem to be I'M
willing to give up their land at the
same rate as their neig hbors, claiming
that their damage is greater.
An effort will be made ,to. settle the
matter out of court before the COM
missioners are appointed on next
TUESDAY.
In theImeantime the workmen of
the company are making splendid
Roadway with the tracks, and it is
probable that the work of grading
will be advanced to the contested
territoryiby the time the contest as to
the price is settled in the local courts.
The company now has more than 200
teams at work on the grading, and it
is expected that the work Of setting
the ties will be started next week.
The heavy steel rails to be used in
the construction of the road have all
been delivered, and are now being
scattered along the right of way. The
work will all be stopped on Saturday
in order to allow the men and the
foremen to be present at the opening
Of the Zion City branch of the line.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 13.-The

These were brought out in the testi-
mony OF Chief Of Police Shaw of the

testimony of both related to important
exhibits presented in the case by the
government, the blood stained trousers
worn by Tucker on the day of the muir
der and the stickpin found in a pocket
of his overcoat after bis arrest
The witness said that Tucker told
him frankly of his movements on March
81, the day OF the murder Upon the
witness expressing a desire to closely
examine the trousers worn by the de-
PENDANT, Tucker, as he removed the
garments for inspection, volunteered
the information as to how they became
blood stained
Asked why he destroyed his hunting
knife Tucker had replied that he feared
the crime would be fastened upon him
should the officers search him and find
the knife
Henry Bourne. who testified that he
had known Tucker all his life when
shown the pin found on the prisoner
and alleged TO have belonged TO the
murdered woman said that he had seen
Tucker wear pin of that design while
he was employed at Robertsons boat
house in 1902
During the redirect examination the
witness was shown clasp pin and
asked whether it was the pin worn by
Tucker in 1902. Bourne replied that it
was not that the one worn by Tucker
was smaller.
Witness was then handed the pin of
Canadian design identified by Amy
Roberts as the property Of Miss Page.

by Tucker In 1902, but he was not sure
that they were the same.
Other witnesses called testified TO
the whereabouts of Tucker on the day
Miss Page was killed.
Only once or twice during the day |
did Tucker display more than passing
Interest in the proceedings.
When Oliver Kingsbury of Auburn
dale. canoe builder, took the stand he
testified that he saw Tucker at noon
on the day Of the murder walking to-
ward Weston. At lao he saw Tucker
again and spoke to him.
Replying to cross examination, wit
ness said he noticed no change in Tuck
er's appearance when he saw him the
second time. This was nearly an hour
after the murder was committed, ac-
,ording to the prosecutions theory.

Archbishop Denies Report.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-It appears that
the New York Churchman considered
that the archbishop Of Canterbury in
a recent letter had advocated the es-
tablishment of some branch Of religion
as the national church of America.
The archbishop Of Canterbury when
interviewed denied that he had any in
tsntion Of conveying such an idea and
says: Nothing could have been fur
ther from my thoughts or wishes. The
whole circumstances Of the history
and character Of the constitution of
the United States renders such a no
ton entirely out of the question"

1t is my recollection that the reporter
used it and that | assented, or rather
corrected saying, II am disinclined to

taking hasty notes, unintentionally to
convey ~rong impression.
What did say was this: II have
seen in printed item that far from
any one Other own sex showing mercy
for Mary Rogers, one woman said she
would like to witness the hanging.
But is is impossible or at least hard
for me to credit this, for such thing
would be a disgrace to the women of
the entire state of Vermont. Be
tween the two declarations there is a
world OF difference. Moreover a COL

CANNOT RAE BUILDING.
Opinion Of Acting Engineer Commits
sioner

Upon the recommendation Of Captain
Chester Harding, assistant to the engineer
commissioner, the Commissioners have de-
cided that they have not the authority to
order the tearing down of the frame build
ing owned by Franklin P. Nash, and known
as No. 1910 Quaker court. The authorities
however. have decided to proceed against
Mr. Nash in the Police Court for alleged
violation of the terms of his permits to
make repairs to the structure
Building Inspector Ashford condemned
the alley house and the question as to its
disposition has been before the District
officials for several months The building
inspector reported that Mr.. Nash had made
repairs to the building, which is located on
an alley, in excess of the amount Of re-
pairs authorized under the permit. Mr.. Ash
ford the 9th Of this month, recommended
that II Mr.. Nash failed to remove the house
within five days that the work of tearing
1t down be let to the lowest bidder by the
District.
Captain Harding in further consideration
Of the case has decided that the tearing
down of the structure at this time would be
too radical step, and that the fact that
the owner had exceeded his authority in
making repairs under the permit, does not
give the District attorney authority to re-
move the building.
In approving Captain Harding's recon-
mendation, Colonel Biddle suggests that the
practice Of violating the terms of building
permits should be absolutely prevented If
possible.

SNOW LAW CASES.
Decision of Judge Scott to Be Taken to

When the cases against the alleged vio-

FLOATING BATHS.
Question as to Their Care During the
Winter Months,

Commissioner West has recommended
that inasmuch as the bathing beach is I'M
der the supervision Of Mr.. w. X. Stevens,
superintendent that official will be held re-
sponsible for the condition of the floating
baths at the beach, Mr. Stevens recently
reported that the bathing beach is frozen
over and that there is danger of the floating
baths being destroyed. Mr.. Stevens ap-
pealed to Engineer of Bridges w. ]. Doug
lass for help in breaking up the ice, but
that official has replied that he has not the
force or time to devote to the work.
Mr.. Stevens in letter to the Commission
ers says he cannot secure the laborers nee
essary to break up the ice around the
floats. Il asked Mr. Douglass what I was
to do to keep the floats free from water
when the ice is about a foot thick in the
structure" says Mr.. Stevens, and he replied
something about pumping them out: 1
would suggest that Mr.. Douglass, who is
referred to as authority in these mat
tiers, and who, having designed these floats
knows his own plans for their preservation
and who, furthermore, has laborers and
tools idle and at his command be au-
thorized to do what may be required con-
corning the floats in question:.
To this suggestion Mr.. Douglass made the
following reply:
1T is the duty of the superintendent of
the bathing beach to maintain all existing
structures. / regret that l have not the
time at present to relieve him of this re-
sponsbility. l verbally suggested to Mr.
Stevens to pump out the floating baths
whenever it was practicable to do So The
work which l believe is quite necessary at
once is cutting the ice away from the
mooring piles of the floating baths and also
around those of the wharf leading out to
the small bath and the removal of the
gang plank leading from this wharf to the
aforesaid bath. l thought that had made
myself clear in talking to Mr.. Stevens in
regard to this
