General Superintendent of the
Northwestern Sends Orders to
Conductors and Engineers
.FREIGHTS TO co ON NEW LINE
Mayor German Receives Copy of An
Order Which Will Put An End
to B1ockades in the City
of Kenosha

The Northwestern railway company
has decided to put an end to the block
ing of crossings in Kenosha and to
this end General Superintendent
Lawson has sent an order to all con-
ductors and engineers employed by
the company, in which they are ex-
pressly ordered to take every possible
precaution to prevent the b1ockading
of street crossings in the city. In
speaking of the matter Mr.. Lawson
states that the managers of the COM
pany believe that the city of Kenosha
has been very 1enient with the COM
pany and that for this reason the men
will be expected to exercise due care
to keep all crossings free. In his
order the General Superintendent
also let's out the secret in regard to
the tracks now being built west of the
city, in that he states that these
tracks will be used by the company
for the moving of freight trains.
The practice of blocking crossings
IN Kenosha has been in vogue just
about as long as the Northwestern
has been running trains into the city
and the objections made by the peo-
pie of the city have been of little
weight in abating the nuisance.
Scores of men in charge of trains
have been hauled into court and fined
but this remedy seems to have been
an Intellectual one and the city officials
and street railway managers finally
laid the matter before the officials of
the Northwestern. AS a result of
this conference the order referred to
above was issued. The order which
is now being posted at all stations of
the road follows:
Chicago and North Western Railway
Company. Office of the Superin-
tendent Wisconsin Division.
Chicago, December 5th, 1905.
To Conductors, Engineers:
mayor German of Kenosha, called
on me this a. m. and personally re-
quested that we discontinue blocking
the streets in the city of Kenosha,
stating one instance in which Market
SCAN(C was O4OOhOo 4Ol RC11OO VI
seventeen minutes, thereby holding
street car traffic during the entire
time.
Every one is hereby instructed to
interest himself and avoid blocking
street crossings in Kenosha in every
possible way he can, as it discommodes
the people of Kenosha very much.
The city of Kenosha has been
very 1enient with us in this matter,
realizing the difficulties we have been
operating under, through that city,
and within another year we expect to
avoid ali this complaint by the
operation of freight trains over the
new line. In the meantime every
effort must be made on your part to
avoid blocking these crossings

ADD NEW CARRIER
Postmaster MaIoney is Given the
Authority to Re-District
the Carrier Routes
BETTER BUSINESS DELIVERIES

Postmaster John B. Ma1oney re.
ceived authority from the general
department yesterday to add one new
carrier to the force of mail carriers
employed at the Kenosha Office, and
the new carrier will go on duty on
next Friday. This will be mounted
carrier and the position has been
given to Harry S. Newberry. John
Pierce, who has been. acting as a
substitute carrier has been advanced
to the regulars aud will take the
route which has been covered by
Newberry.
With the addition of this new man
to the force there will be general re-
arrangement of the carrier routes and
all parts of the city will be benefited
by the re-districting. Some parts of
the city which in the past have not had
the benefits of the carrier service will
be included in the new districts and
the mail for the business district will
be taken out by three carriers. In
this way the business men and
especially the stores along Main
street will be assured the earliest
possible deliveries. In the past de-
liveries have been made in the bust
ness districts any where from to 10
O'Clock, but with the new arrange
ment the deliveries will be made about
8 O'Clock and it is possible that new
delivery may be added for the BUSH
ness district.
The addition Of the mounted carrier
will also make it possible for the Office
to provide better service for the
factory districts and these districts
will have more regular deliveries.
The postmaster has made a re-
quest for still another carrier, but
it is hardly possible that this request
will be granted before the opening of
another postoffice year.

Secretary Taft Declares That the
Commerce in Kenosha Harbor
Does Not Warrant Expense
SMALL APPROPRIATION MADE
The Secretary Recommends That the
Breakwater be Improved by the
Addition of 200 Feet on the Land
End of the Structure

The Kenosha harbor, on which the
government has spent many thous-
ands of dollars, and which was in for
mer years one of the busiest places in
the city, has received hard blow in
the report of Secretary of War Taft,
when he states that the harbor at Ke-
nosha is not sufficiently used for COM
MERGE to warrant the expenditure of
any large sum of money by the gov
eminent.
For the past seven or eight years
the harbor at Kenosha has been los
ing its prestige. Ten years ago the
Kenosha harbor was the busiest place
in the city and was one of the most
used harbors along the north shore of
the lake. The railway companies APP
preciated this fact, and during the de-
cade the Northwestern company has
built switch tracks, so that now the
company is in open competition with
the lake carriers, and it is claimed
tina the rates have been placed at
sucwI point that the lake car
riers have been practically put out of
business SO far as the Kenosha har-
Dor is concerned.
A few boats still touch the piers of
the Kenosha harbor, but their cargos
are limited largely to coal. Even the
big shipments of lumber, which were
formerly received by lake, are now
coming in over the railway lines, and
there is little left for the lake carriers
to pick up. This season, besides the
coal boats, a few schooners laden
| with tan bark came into the harbor,
and the one steamer has kept up it's
runs between Chicago and Kenosha
| For years the business of the harbor
has shown a decrease, but in the year
just past the figures show that there
has been slight increase. This in
crease, however, is so small that even
the people of Kenosha will appreciate
the justice of the statement of the
secretary of war.
| The recommendation of the secre-
tary of war, however, includes pro-
vision for small addition to the land
| 0A0O VI l1lC VI CdhW dlCI DIS lu1S IS
deemed necessary to do away with
the damage wrought by the northeast
storms. This appropriation is recon-
mended in connection with the report
of the commission headed by Colonel
Bixby which visited the harpor during
the past ten months and made care
full investigation of the action of the
storms here. 1t is admitted by the
commission that if the commerce of
the harbor justified ii a large expendi-
ture should be made at Kenosha.
The provision made for Kenosha IL
c1udes the building of two hundred
feet of breakwater at a cost Of about
SIS, 900. It is thought that this will
largely do away with the filling of
the harbor and place it in condition
to take care of the boats seeking to
enter. Large appropriations are
recommended for work at Manitowoc,
Racine and Sheboygan where the
same troubles exist.

THERE are any number of conflict
ing accounts regarding the financial
condition of the state university, but
it is certain that the institution will
have to borrow money to tide it over
until the taxes come in. No one
knows exactly just how much the
university is short, but the amount is
placed anywhere from $5OO,0OO to
81, 100000. Members of the educational
committee of the legislature say
openly that they have been grossly
deceived in regard to university
matters and the financial manage
ment of the institution is round1y
criticised. There is something rotten
somewhere when an institution that
has had SO much money as the
university gets so far behind, and if
the Legislature is going into the in
vestigating business, as it now seems
DESTROYS of doing, the university
management will come in for a share
of it's attention. Go to the bottom of
the whole affair and let the taxpayers
the state know just how it stands.
They are the ones who will have to
pay the bills and they have a right to
know what they are paying for.

GIVING the interstate commerce
commission power to fix absolute
rates would reduce the railways con-
troll over their rate schedules much
more than giving it power merely to
fix rates. If the commission fixed a
rate absolutely and the courts sus-
tanned it the road thereafter could
neither raise nor lower that rate. But
traffic conditions are necessarily huc-
tuating. The rate which is desirable
under the conditions of today may be
too high or too low under the condi-
tions of tomorrow. If changed condi-
tons made the rate too low the rail-
road would lose, if they made it too
high both shipper and railroad might
lose, the former by being charged too
much, the latter by being unable to
meet competition. Rate schedules
should be highly flexible for the good
of every body.- Chicago Tribune.

HUSBAND rs ENJoINED
Clifford c. Briggs Must Not Attempt to
Secure Custody of His Child


In the Office Of the clerk of the cir
cult court for Kenosha county, an
order has been filed by Judge Be1den
granting an absolute divorce to Pat
line Briggs from her husband, Clifford
G. Briggs. The judgment Of the
court is an unusual one in divorce
action, in that it carries with it an
injunction which prevents Briggs
from making any effort to secure the
one son of the union.
Briggs, according to the complaint,
has made threats that he would have
the child even if he was forced to re-
sort to force to secure it, and this
when laid before the court resulted in
the rather extraordinary injunction
being issued.
Mrs. Briggs now resides in Keno
sha, but she was formerly well known
in Milwaukee. It is alleged that
Briggs is living in Sioux City, Iowa.
He failed to contest the divorce and

James Howard Of Bristol Alleged
to Have Forged Checks in Name
Of His Employer
He SECURED SMALL SUMS
Howard Had Been Employed by L. r.
Devlin, Well known Creamery
Man, and Managed to Get
Possession of Check Book

The sheriff and his deputies have
been asked to make some effort to find
some trace of James Howard, who has
been missing from his home in the
town Of Bristol for the past ten DAYS.
Howard is wanted on a charge Of
forgery, it being alleged that he
uttered two forged checks which
we're passed on merchants in Bristol
and Truesde1l. The checks were al
legged to have been signed by Law
renee P. Devlin, the well known pro-
prietor Of the Bristol and Paris Cream
cry. Howard had been employed on
the Devlln farm tor two
years and was considered a trust
worthy employee in every way. Ten
days ago he disappeared and on the
following morning Mr.. Devlin dis
covered that leaf containing three
checks had been torn from his check
book at once started to discover
any possible connection between the
missing checks and the disappearance
of Howard. He went to the village of
Bristol and found that one of the
checks had been passed at the store
of Gunter brothers and later on he
discovered that the other one had
been cashed at the saloon of Mike
Steinbach at the village of Truesde1l.
On these two checks it is alleged
Howard managed to secure $40. Nc
trace has been found of the other
check removed from the book but it is
supposed that it was cashed by Howard
at some other point about the county
and that it will be turned in later on.
It was an easy matter for Howard
to obtain money on the checks as he
had been employed by Devlin for
more than two years and in that time
Dev1in had often trusted him with
large sums of money and this fact was
well known to the business men at
Bristol.
Devlin was in Kenosha on Friday
afternoon and in speaking of the
matter stated that he was greatly
surprised when he found that Howard
had been connected with the uttering
of the forged checks. He stated that
he had trusted him with large sums
OF money during the time he had been
employed on farm and insisted
that he must have been drunk when
he forged the checks.
Howard is supposed to be in Chicago
as he is known to have relatives in
+ha+ n;+xy noxv1:x, aoofa.o ll.-A = !
will be prosecuted if he is arrested
and that he will appear against him.
Howard is well known in Bristol.
He was young man of good appear
ance and since he had been at the
Dev1in farm he had been received in
to many of the best homes of the
town. His disappearance under the
circumstances has caused something
of sensation.
