OFFER LARGE GIFTS
Chicago and Racine Men Promise
Large Sums to Aid in Extend
ing Sheridan Drive
LAND WILL IMPROVE IN VALUE


The recent revival of the sugges-
ton to hasten the completion Of the
road connecting Chicago and Mil
waukee has met with the approval Of
fthe leading residents along the route.
No sooner was the announcement
published than offers we're made to
subscribe to the bonds. Orlando F..
Weber, the big automobile dealer of
Chicago, and formerly of Milwaukee,
was most earnest in his offer to SUBJ
lscribe $4,000 towards the road. Will
liam Mitchell Lewis is another who
purpose.
Arrangements are being made for a
series of meetings in the towns be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee to pro-
mote the continuance and improve
ment of Sheridan road. The first Of
these meetings will be held in Keno
sha, Racine, Milwaukee and Wau-
kegan. Prominent citizens Of these
cities are interesting themselves in
the work, and with their aid it is pos
sible to create enough enthusiasm to
have the work started.
There is enough of the road already
finished to be an object lesson suf-
ficient to make strong argument on
behalf of the Improvement. In it's
general effect from every viewpoint, a
continuous good road from Chicago to
Milwaukee would seem to be an in
calcu1able benefit to every citizen in
Illinois and Wisconsin.
Late government statistics give
Illinois with its S73 average value, the
lead among the United States. New
Jersey has always led, and because it
had good roads. The increase in real
estate values in ten years in New Jer-
sey has been $50, O0O,0 GOO, attributed to
the improved highways, which
amount to over 1000 miles.
If Wisconsin was on equal terms in
possessing stone roads, the value of
farm lands might possibly be doubled.
Perhaps no other locality in America
possesses such natural position as
this stretch between Chicago and Mil
waukee. Nearly the entire distance
is within sight of Lake Michigan and
almost level. In some places the
route runs on a bluff close to the edge
of the water. Much of the land be-
tween towns is now unimproved.
Proximity to a boulevard, such as the
finished Sheridan road, would trans
form into residence property worth
much more in building lots.

Postmaster MaIoney Receives an
Open Letter From United
States Treasurer Shaw
MAY FORCE OWNERS TO SELL
Government May Condemn Land For
Public Building as Railways Con-
denim Land for Right Of Way
and Owners Must Sell

Postmaster John B. Maloney has re-
States Treasurer Leslie NJ. Shaw in
regard TO the plans followed by the
government IL securing sites for pub
lie buildings, which is Of some inter-
est to Kenosha people. The letter
has been posted at the post office and
while much of it has been published
at former times, there is one para
graph IN the letter that is attracting
considerable attention and this is the
last paragraph, in which it is stated
that the United States government
may bring an action to condemn land
to be used as a site for a public build
ing. The government has the same
right in this matter as is given to
railway companies in condemning
land for right of way and the meth
|od of taking the property is about the
same. The agents of the government,
however, rarely resort to this plan
save in cities where it is evident that
an effort is being made to market
property to the government at price
far in excess of its real value. In
case such conditions are found that
attorneys for the government file a
petition in court for the condemna
|tion.of the land andsthe owner is al
lowed to have a part IN the naming.
lof the commission to adjust values.
These va1ues-adj usted by the commits
sion,. the government takes the land.
The owner has the same right to APP
peal to the courts as in other condem-
nation cases.
So far as can be learned, the agents
Of the United States government have
not as. yet been in this city to look
over TIE sites offered for building
site. Its possible that the agents
came without a flourish of trumpets
and that they are ready to report to
the supervising architect, but as yet
no report has been made public. Sew
eral sites that were considered suit
able for the public building have not
been. offered to the government and it
is possible that these pieces of land
would fall under the. condemnation
rule should the government agents
decide on one Of them as a suitable
site.
Work on the plans for the new
building will be started just as soon
as the site is selected, as there is such
large amount of work in prospect
that the architects desire to get the
buildings started
After the plans have been approved
by the government officials no time
will be lost in getting the building
started.
1t is probable that local architects
will be given chance to make sug-
gestions on the building, as the force
employed by the government is so
small that the designing of some Of
the buildings will be done in the To-
ca1ity where they are to be built.

Deputy Pure Food Commissioners
Scoteof Madison, Makes De-
scent on kenosha Grocers
PEPPER WAS ADULTERATED
Analysts of Pepper Sold in Kenosha
stores Shows That it had Been
Mingled With Ground
Olive Stones

Ground olive stones sold as pepper
is the charge that Deputy Pure Food
Commissioner w. f. Scott Of Madison,
made against Chris Schwan and Jos.
Leinenweber, we'll known North side
grocers on Tuesday afternoon.
Schwan was arrested by Chief O'Hare
late Tuesday afternoon and taken be-
fore Justice McCarron where be
asked that the case be continued until
next Tuesday.
Leinenweber who was out of the
city on Tuesday appeared before the
justice this morning and took similar
adjournment. 1t is understood that
the two men will fight the case inthe
courts and if the pepper was adult
terated they will seek to put the
blame on the right parties.
According to the complaint made
against the men the alleged adulter-
Iated pepper was purchased by Scott
himself on June Is, and since that
time it has been analysed in the state
labratory at Madison. 1t was found
to contain large quantities of ground
olive stones.
The Kenosha dealers had been
warned of the coming of the pure
food official, as the last report of the
department which was given wide
publicity showed that adu1terated
pepper had been sold in Kenosha
stores although the report did not
refer especially to any dealer now
under arrest. 1t is claimed that
certain wholesale houses in Chicago
and other cities are dumping large
amounts of adulterated food products
in certain Wisconsin cities and the
state department is making every
possible effort to get at these
/ stores. 1t is impossible for them to
be prosecuted under the Wisconsin
1 laws In another state and the depart.
ment is forced to go after the dealers
| here.
When arrested this morning Mr..
/ Leinenweber stated that he was not
aware of the fact that there was any
adulterated pepper in his store. He
4 sta AhoI LO pun OAoSOd lAlC OCSl 1AnS
of goods that could be secured anC
that if there was any adulteration il
was the fault of the wholesale house
who had sold them. The Kenosha
dealers as rule aim to buy the best
goods that can be secured and if they
are imposed on by the wholesale
houses they have no redress. The
arrested men will at once communi
cate with the Chicago agents and
make an effort to force them to pro
vide for defense of the case when il
is called next week.
Mr.. Scott is still in the city, but sc
| far as can be learned no other war.
rants have been issued. However
many dealers in Kenosha are on the
anxious seat, as the report mentioned
some fourteen Kenosha stores as ven
ders of adulterated food products.
The state pure food commission is
carrying on this crusade in ali parts
of the state and arrests have been
made in many cities. The outcome
of the trial of the cases in Kenosha
will be watched with great deal of
interest.

RoBBER WAS BOLD
Unknown Man Enters Ba1dwin's Coal
Office and Gets Away With $3.50

Unknown Man Enters Ba1dwin's Coal
Office and Gets Away With $42.5O
A mysterious day light robbery oc-
CURED at the Office of the George S.
Baldwin Coal company at the docks
Tuesday afternoon between and 4
O'Clock when some unknown party
or parties entered the Office and man
aged to get away with $3.50 which
had been left in the cash drawer in
the Office. The m ystery connected
with the robbery is Increased by the
fact that the offica attendant was in
the building during the entire after
noon and he failed to see any one
enter the Office and approach the cash
drawer during the day and III the
afternoon the office man was busy at
tending to his work. Just after 8
o'clock he had occasion to go to the
cash drawer and ther it was discov-
cred that the money was missing.
The robbery was reported to the
police Office as soon as possible but
the fficials have not as yet been able
to find any trace of the guilty parties.
Many men of suspicious nature
were seen hanging about the docks
on Tuesday and an effort is being
made to round up these fellows as it
is thought that they will be able to
give some evidence that will aid in
locating the thieves. The robbery
was one of the most daring ever COM
mitted In the city and for this reason
the police officers are making every
effort possible TO solve the mystery
connected with the crime.
